Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress

But before Xiang Yun could speak, a somewhat sharp voice said, "You make a good point, so tell me, who should Yun’er look to as allies and helpers? You know as well as I do that none of those people inside the palace are to be taken lightly."

Wu Xiangling was startled and turned around in panic, only to see Madam Wu who had entered at some point, frowning, with her maids looking at her with disdain.

Although Wu Xiangling was afraid, she had already said so much that there was no room for her to back down. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Fighting tigers is best done with brothers, and taking to the battlefield is best done with father and son. Naturally, it is best to look for one’s own people. Only family will be of one heart, from top to bottom."

Madam Wu revealed a hint of irony and asked nonchalantly, "Our own people? Such as?"

Wu Xiangling coughed lightly and said with a thick skin, "Madam, what do you think about me and Second Sister? We are blood sisters and will naturally support each other."

"You two?" Madam Wu’s tone was somewhat profound.

"Yes, Madam, it’s us." Wu Xiangling took a deep breath, turned, and bowed to Madam Wu, saying, "Madam, we are willing to fight for our sister’s favor, to watch over The Prince for her, and to secure our older sister’s status in the Imperial Harem of the Qing Luo Kingdom."

Xiang Yun’s face turned black. She couldn’t believe they would come up with such a shameless idea. Clenching her fists, she was about to slam the table and stand up when Madam Wu gave her a look to calm down and coldly said, "Fight for Older Sister’s favor? You mean to serve Crown Prince Wanyan?"

Wu Xiangling knelt down and said with a sincere voice, "We only wish to follow our older sister, to maintain her position and also preserve the honor and favor of our Mansion of Marquis Jian’an." Seeing this, Wu Xianglian also knelt down, with a face full of respect and admiration, looking up to Xiang Yun like a faithful horse.

At that moment, Madam Wu let out a cold laugh, "Crown Prince Wanyan, what do you say?"

As her words fell, Wu Xiangling and Wu Xianglian froze, hardly able to believe their ears. They never expected to encounter Crown Prince Wanyan here. If only they had known he was coming, they wouldn’t have said such embarrassing things; wouldn’t a romantic encounter have been better?

But what was done was done, and all they could do was bite the bullet. Wu Xiangling turned her head and looked at Wanyan Jingchen with shyness, hoping to dazzle him with her beauty.

However, the man did not even glance at them, but instead looked toward Xiang Yun’s direction and said emphatically, "I would only choose one pail of water from a river of three thousand li weak, and as for these two ladies, if they cannot find a husband, Mu’s Shen Record Shop still has two shopkeepers who haven’t married. Those shopkeepers are hardworking and honest, a good match for the two young ladies!"
