1182 Everything Is Normal

"We have already consulted their horoscopes, and they are well-matched. We plan to choose a suitable day for our two families to discuss and officially finalize the betrothal."

The queen dowager nodded with a smile. "Then that is quite good. I'll have to congratulate the countess. Feng Gu, go pick two items suitable for a young lady from my jewelry box and send them to the Li Family's third miss."

The Countess of Jian'an chuckled. "This subject thanks Your Majesty the Queen Dowager in lieu of her daughter-in-law for the bestowal."

Less than an hour later, the queen dowager arranged for someone to escort the Countess of Jian'an out.

She then massaged her temples in slight fatigue.

Feng Gu's expression also sank as she commented in displeasure, "This Countess of Jian'an truly does not know what is good for her. Your Majesty sincerely wants for Commandery Princess Yi'an to marry down to their Count of Jian'an's Estate, yet she does not appreciate the kindness and has finalized Young Sir Pei's marriage so quickly?"

"Queen Dowager, this maidservant has also heard of that third miss from the Li Family. Supposedly, Her Highness Consort Cheng had the intent of bringing her into the eldest prince's estate as a noble concubine, but somehow, this Miss Li fell sick and was bedridden. She missed the auspicious time, so this marriage just blew over like that."

"I really did not expect that she would now latch on to the Count of Jian'an's Estate's young sir. The Count of Jian'an's family is not afraid of revolting Her Highness Consort Cheng either."

"Sigh." The queen dowager waved her hand. "The countess is capable of keeping house, and is both intelligent and farsighted. No wonder the Count of Jian'an has viewed her so highly all these years."

"She must have noticed some inkling after these two encounters. Yi'an has a proud and high-minded temperament. Even if she is forced to marry into the Count of Jian'an's Estate, she will not behave appropriately. It is pardonable for the countess to disdain this kind of daughter-in-law."

"Forget it, let's just watch and see. It's just unfortunate that with such a good family, Yi'an, she, sigh…" The queen dowager sighed before saying with a tired wave of her hand, "Help me back to the room to lie down."

"Is the queen dowager's chronic waist pain coming on again? I'll go inform the Royal Physician Building."

"Alright, I already said that it is an old trouble. Can those royal physicians cure me?"

The two left as they talked.

One day later, all the people inside the palace were gobsmacked by the large commotion at the Eastern Palace.

The mystic energy leaping in clusters toward the area above the Eastern Palace was so thick that they practically formed constellations.

Who, whose breakthrough was so awesome…

This had already been a full day and night, alright. The dense mystic energy seemingly arranged a layer of misty fog in the area above the Eastern Palace, causing people to be completely unable to see the situation inside.

Even so, the people whom the king and the queen had sent to the Eastern Palace to probe for information had all been dismissed by Crown Prince Mo.

The people who returned only told the king and queen one sentence, "The crown prince consort is breaking through. Don't worry, everything is normal!"

Was this freaking normal?

Did normal people need to take one day and one night to break through? She had drawn all of the mystic energy in Guanlan City's surroundings over here, right!

"It's fine, it's normal." After taking a nap, the queen dowager's waist pain trouble slowly got better, even having the vigor to eat sweet cakes again.

Upon seeing the situation, Feng Gu urged, "Queen Dowager, the royal physicians said that you cannot eat too much of this."

"Not allowed to eat this, not allowed to eat that! What else can We eat!" The queen dowager clamored in indignation. "Don't listen to their nonsense! Humans live for merely a short one hundred years. Eat if need be, drink if need be!"

*Boom!!*

The queen dowager promptly jumped up from the stool. "Who? What happened."

Could it be that some rebel army was so blind as to have infiltrated the palace?
