Chapter 140: March, the beginning of spring!
"I can pay attention to this, but whether it can be accomplished is not something we can decide." Ertai knew what Song Qing was thinking, so he agreed.

Xiao Jian hesitated for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to start the conversation.
"Lord Xiao, do you have anything to say?" Zhihua was very good at observing people's expressions and could naturally see Xiao Jian's hesitation. However, she waited for a long time and he didn't speak, so she had to take the initiative to ask.
Seeing that his thoughts were guessed, Xiao Jian could no longer hesitate. He turned to look at Zhihua and said, "Miss Zhihua, I want to thank you on behalf of Xiaoyanzi. If you were not willing to cancel the engagement this time, Xiaoyanzi might not be as happy as she is now. You are willing to sacrifice your own reputation to fulfill their relationship. Xiao Jian is very grateful."
After saying that, Xiao Jian bowed again.
"Lord Xiao, you're too polite. Zhihua is just withdrawing from a marriage that doesn't belong to her. Ultimately, it's for my own good. I don't want to be lonely all my life after marrying the Fifth Prince." Zhihua said calmly as she looked at Xiao Jian who was standing in front of her.
"However, I was able to figure it out so quickly this time, thanks to Qing'er and Tiantian. If it weren't for them, I might still be stuck in this marriage that doesn't belong to me. So, if you want to thank someone, go thank them."
Xiao Jian looked at Zhihua who was so calm and felt very guilty about his previous thoughts.
"Qing'er and the others should be thanked. They have helped me a lot." Xiao Jian knew that it was Song Qing and Xu Tian who secretly helped him, so the matter was resolved so smoothly. But the final decision was still in Zhihua's hands, so no matter what, he was very grateful to Zhihua.
After the two of them started talking, the awkwardness was gone and they chatted while enjoying the scenery.

After successfully confessing his love, Benjamin became more and more active. He was with Xu Tian almost every day, as if he had no work.
Looking at the leisurely Benjamin, Song Qing thought of her boyfriend Ertai who was always busy. They haven't met since he came back that day.
Now she is left here alone to eat dog food, it is so difficult for her!
Just as Song Qing was about to look for Zhihua, Xiaoyanzi came running over like a gust of wind.
"Qing'er! Tiantian! The Emperor has granted a marriage between Yongqi and me!" Xiaoyanzi shouted as she ran.
She was almost dying of excitement. She didn't expect the Emperor to be so efficient.
The decree was drafted so quickly.
Song Qing didn't expect that it would be decided so quickly.
Looking at Xiaoyanzi with surprise.
"When will the wedding be held? Why was the decree issued so soon?" Xu Tian also hurried over and asked Xiaoyanzi in surprise.
"The wedding will be held in March of next spring. The Emperor said that he had originally planned to arrange a marriage between me and Yongqi after you got married, but he was afraid that something might happen again, so he moved my wedding forward." Xiaoyanzi said while panting.
"I really didn't expect that you would be the first one among us to get married." Xu Tian said with a smile.
Benjamin on the side also smiled and said: "You and Yongqi finally have a home."
"Aren't you the same?" Xiaoyanzi's eyes moved back and forth between Xu Tian and Benjamin, her meaning was very obvious.
Xu Tian and Benjie Ming have been spending a lot of time together these days, and their relationship is heating up very quickly. Now that she is being teased by Xiaoyanzi, she can't help but blush.
Xu Tian quickly stepped forward and covered Xiaoyanzi's mouth, "Stop talking nonsense!"
The two soon started arguing.
Ziwei, who finally arrived, happened to meet Zhihua. When the two of them arrived, they saw Xu Tian and Xiaoyanzi quarreling.
When Concubine Yu heard the good news, she laughed so happily that she gave rewards to the entire Yonghe Palace.
Her previous efforts have finally paid off. Now that she sees her son being granted marriage, she is so happy.
The news that Princess Huanzhu and the Fifth Prince were granted marriage soon spread throughout the palace. Although everyone was very surprised, no one dared to say anything.
The emperor specially asked Xiao Jian to serve as an official in the court in order to arrange a suitable identity for Xiao Yanzi. Therefore, now Xiao Yanzi is marrying Yongqi as Xiao Jian's sister. Even if some people think it is against etiquette, no one will say anything.
Moreover, no matter what, Princess Xiaoyanzi's identity was real, so the marriage was granted very smoothly.
In recent days, the emperor has been busy with Yongqi's marriage and has never stepped into the harem, so naturally he has never seen Hanxiang.
Now the emperor no longer had the same enthusiasm as before for the Fragrant Concubine who was sent to him.
After all, he is not young anymore, otherwise, he would have taken them all in, whether it was Hanxiang or Hanxiang!
Without the initial passion, the emperor had no intention of seeing Hanxiang again. The queen and the old Buddha did not bother Hanxiang again.
Hanxiang was happy and free. She stayed in Baoyue Tower every day and seldom went out.

Zhihua did not attend this day out of the palace. Song Qing planned to discuss the matter of Hanxiang and Meildan with everyone.
Of course, it wasn't that she intentionally avoided Zhihua, but it wasn't a good thing for Zhihua to know about this. After all, if she was punished, it would also implicate her.
She had originally planned to take the opportunity to send Hanxiang away when Yongqi and Zhihua got married. Based on the emperor's current attitude towards Hanxiang, he probably wouldn't be as angry as in the original drama, but it was inevitable that he would punish them all.
But now Zhihua has called off the engagement, and it has become Xiaoyanzi and Yongqi's marriage. In this case, it would be a bit unreasonable to take the opportunity to send Hanxiang away.
So now I can only make new plans.
Looking at everyone, Song Qing said, "Now that Hanxiang has lost the emperor's attention, it seems that our plan to let Hanxiang reject the emperor from the beginning is effective."
"But dragging it on like this is not a solution, so today, I really want to discuss with everyone how to get the emperor to agree to send Hanxiang away."
"Let the emperor agree to send Hanxiang away? How is that possible?" Ertai felt that this possibility was unlikely after hearing what Song Qing said.
"Ertai is right. Not to mention how much the Emperor loves Hanxiang, just because she is a palace concubine, he would never send Hanxiang away easily." Yongqi also echoed.
"That's why I said you should think about it carefully!" Song Qing knew that this was difficult, but they had no other choice.
"Do you think it would be helpful to find a sorcerer who knows that fragrance can bring bad luck to husbands?" Xu Tian asked, remembering the plot of a novel she had read before.
"This simply won't work. Whether the emperor believes it or not is one thing, but as for this sorcerer, we told a lie once, and we have to keep making up for it with lies. The price is too high." Benjamin directly denied Xu Tian's statement. They had been troubled for a long time because of the issue of the real and fake princesses, and if they had to lie to save Hanxiang now, they would be courting death.
