Chapter 164 Confer the Empress
Pan Duolan knew that she was an unnecessary person and knew that His Majesty wanted her to disappear immediately, but she followed him like a masochist, watching him showed all kinds of tenderness and care to another woman. She had seen the incomparably brave Hunnar, the ruthless Hunnar, and even the sorry figure Hunnar who was lying in a pool of blood after being defeated.

But this Hunnar, who smiled softly and heartily, and was no different from an ordinary man, she had never seen it before. Once upon a time, she dreamed of making him show the same expression, but she couldn’t even make him look straight to her eyes. What kind of charm Guan Suyi had? What kind virtue and ability she possessed?

If in those days she was not bewitched by the Empress Dowager and avoided Hunnar like a snake and scorpion, right now she had already become the Empress of Wei, where it would be fall to someone else? Thinking like this, she couldn’t help but resented herself, and even more resented the Empress Dowager and Guan Suyi.

If it was in the past, when encountering this kind of jealousy, Guan Suyi would only feel fed-up or even flee from it, but now she remained unruffled. She followed Hunnar’s footsteps and walked forward slowly, when they were about to reach Qionglin Garden, suddenly she was dragged by the other person.

“Madam’s gold hairpin is a little crooked, I’ll help you fix it.” Having said that, Emperor Sheng Yuan did not move, but stared at Madam with burning eyes.

How could Guan Suyi not understand his hidden meaning, she pursed her lips and smiled, “Where is it crooked?”

“Everywhere is crooked,” Emperor Sheng Yuan lowered his head, put a light kiss on the corner of her forehead, and once again on the tip of her nose, and said hoarsely, “Madam, go back quickly, if you don’t leave now, I won’t to let go.”

Guan Suyi’s cheeks were flushed, and she glared at him with mist-filled eyes before she took her younger brother and left quickly. But not long after she walked out, she heard a deep voice behind her, “Madam, in a month I will personally come to the door to propose marriage. You wait for me.”

Guan Suyi’s footsteps paused for a while, and then she walked away faster. Only then did Emperor Sheng Yuan turn his head, and without looking sideways, he crossed Pan Duolan and walked towards Weiyang Palace.

Pan Duolan stood on the spot and stared at him for a long time, and said astringently, “The two of them are getting married?”

“Niangniang, after Bian Min’er’s troubles, the Jiuli clan’s momentum is weaken, and the empress position will definitely fall on a Han woman. In order to suppress you, the candidates they recommend will not be too weak. Looking at Yanjing, who can be more suitable than Miss Guan? This servant has just arrived from Qionglin Garden, and vaguely heard that the Han ministers has reached a consensus to submit a memorial to ask His Majesty to confer Miss Guan as the empress. You better prepare early.” Her maid persuaded in a low voice.

“Ask to confer the empress? Couldn’t the Jiuli clan just ask for This Palace to be conferred as the empress? If they had chosen This Palace earlier, instead of Bian Min’er, where would there be such a thing now! It’s probably because my Pan family has thrown ourselves to the emperor’s side, so in their eyes we are useless.” Pan Duolan sneered, “Well, my Pan family is not on good terms with the princes, and now this kind of disaster won’t implicate us. When the noble families who supported the princes were in troubles, it’s my Pan family’s turns to dominate, then I’ll have plenty of capital to fight with Guan Suyi.” After finished speaking, she flung her sleeves and storm off, tearing flowers all over the place.

On the carriage leaving the palace, Guan Suyi was holding Mu Mu in her arms, already sleepy and exhausted. Old Master Guan was very drunk and slept alone in another carriage, he was snoring loudly at the moment. Guan Father sat with his wife and daughter, his gaze was deep and his face was solemn, didn’t know what he was thinking.
