However, Xia Ling was using this as an excuse to convince others.
"Oh?" Upon hearing the story, the aunt immediately perked up.
Xia Ling smiled as she explained how Qing He had arranged the marriage with Qin Yunchuan, how she had been wronged, and how deep her feelings for Qin Yunchuan were.
The aunt could not help but sigh when she heard this. She repeatedly praised Xia Ling and Qin Yunchuan as having a predestined marriage.
Following that...
The version of Xia Ling and Qin Yunchuan having a predestined marriage spread throughout the entire royal residence.
After that, Xia Ling and Qin Yunchuan's wedding date was set. On the tenth day of the next month, the Imperial Sky Observatory would observe the stars at night and set a good date.
In the entire great Qin, there was nothing that Qin Yunchuan could not do.
As Xia Ling did not have a family, the Lotus Garden would be her place of marriage.
After circling the entire royal residence and making a few rounds in the capital, they would carry her into Qin Yunchuan's front yard.
There were about twenty days until the tenth day of the next month.
However, Qin Yunchuan could not stand it for these twenty days.
He simply threw away the pile of "beloved" weapons and wantonly moved into the Lotus Garden. He even moved his study room, which usually dealt with government affairs, to the Lotus Garden.
On the surface, Qin Yunchuan liked Xia Ling too much and did not want to leave for even a moment.
But secretly, Xia Ling's heart was very warm.
The cold man kept saying that she was trouble, but Qin Yunchuan was always protecting her, preventing her from giving the bad guys an opportunity to take advantage of her.
Xia Ling cooked for Qin Yunchuan in a variety of ways. Soon, Qin Yunchuan's taste was spoiled by her. Other than the dishes she cooked, he could no longer eat what others cooked.
Therefore, Xia Ling was completely at ease. Qin Yunchuan could not leave her, so she no longer had to worry about Qin Yunchuan running away!
...
When Qin Yunchuan and Xia Ling's marriage was confirmed, the entire capital knew about it.
In the Red Chamber, Qin Zheng finally heard about this major event from Lan Zhi.
"What? My cousin is marrying that lady Qing He as a Princess Consort?" Qin Zheng hugged Lan Zhi. It was originally sweet but he suddenly heard the news.
Qin Zheng flipped over and stood up. He did not even have the heart to be affectionate with Lan Zhi.
"Hey! Young master Qin, what are you going to do?" Lan Zhi chased after him anxiously.
However, Qin Zheng quickly put on his clothes. By the time she put on her clothes and reached the door, Qin Zheng had already left without a trace.
Stomping her feet angrily, Lan Zhi thought of Qing He and was filled with jealousy.
Other than being born into an official family, how could Lan Zhi be worse than her? How could she have such a good life? She was redeemed and married into a princess consort.
And she...
Other than trying her best to tie up Qin Zheng in front of her so that she could redeem herself, there was nothing else she could do.

"Cousin, don't get carried away!"
After sprinting all the way, Qin Zheng rushed to the front yard but could not find Qin Yunchuan.
Under the guidance of his aunt, he rushed to the back yard in a hurry and barged into the Lotus Garden.
"Qing He is still an official. You can't marry her to be a princess consort like this. If you do this, the face of our Qin family will go nowhere. In the future, I won't be able to raise my head in the capital's Qin Huai River. Everyone will laugh. Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!"
Qin Yunchuan accurately hit a grain of soil into Qin Zheng's mouth.
Qin Zheng choked quite badly. He coughed a few times and spat out another mouthful of soil
After he spat a few times, he finally spat out all the soil in his mouth.
At that moment, he finally saw his cousin.
