Outside the imperial gate, Qingzhi knelt quietly in front of the door, and the sweat on her forehead flowed down her cheeks from time to time. The weather in March had already warmed up, especially at noon, the sun was quite vicious, and her wedding costume was very heavy, making her look like she was in a steamer. If this continued, she might faint from dehydration.

However, compared to the heat, what made Aoi feel most uncomfortable was her knees. The ground was covered with uneven green bricks. It was nothing when she first knelt on it. But as time went by, she felt like she was kneeling on the tip of a knife, and the tingling pain came one after another, but she was unwilling to move her body, but gritted her teeth and endured it. In the end, the tingling pain seemed to slowly turn into numbness, and even she felt that her legs were no longer her own.

It was also under this situation that Aoori's body began to tremble slightly, and the heat and pain were tossing her nerves all the time. Even a sound of giving up appeared in her heart. As long as she stood up now, she could end her current pain immediately. However, Aoori was a stubborn person and still gritted her teeth and persevered.

Although the onlookers were dispersed by Liu E, many people were still secretly paying attention to the situation on Qingori. When people saw the little woman's body trembling slightly, it aroused sympathy from many people. At this time, there was a sound of a carriage, and then a girl jumped out of the carriage and ran over and shouted: "Sister Qingori!"

This girl was Li'er. Li Zhang's family also received news from Qingori. At first, they were a little unbelievable, but they rushed over immediately after confirming the news. When Li'er saw Qingori's appearance, she couldn't help but cry and pounced in front of her and held the trembling Qingori.

"Li'er, why are you here?" Qingzhi wiped the sweat from her forehead at this time, and said with a smile to her on her pale face.

"Sister Qingzhi, why are you so stupid? Since the Empress Dowager refuses to see you, it will be useless even if you kneel for a long time!" Li'er said with tears at this time. She had heard Li Zhang talk about Liu E's personality, so she also had some understanding of Liu E.

"If the Empress Dowager refuses to see me, then I will kneel down here." Qingzhi said with a firm expression at this time. She was originally a gentle person on the outside and strong inside, and she would never change the decision she made.

At this time, a carriage came again, and then Li Yonghe, Lu Wu and others also came. Among them, Yan Niang came with Li'er. When she heard Qingzhi's words, she couldn't help but sigh quietly. She was originally very dissatisfied with Qingzhi's marriage to Li Zhang, but now it seems that she underestimated the young lady of the Liu family.

Just as Li'er and the others arrived here, they suddenly heard another sound of carriage, but this time the sound came from the imperial city. Then a gorgeous carriage drove in. Then a girl in the palace dress jumped out of the carriage. Li'er was also stunned when she saw her, because the other party turned out to be Miaoyuan.

"Why are you here?" Li'er frowned when she saw Miao Yuan. She and Miao Yuan Tiansheng were not in harmony, and their relationship was not very good.

"I'll come to see my cousin, please give it!" Miaoyuan came to Qingzhi and squeezed Li'er aside with force. This made Li'er very angry, but it was not the time to lose his temper at this time, so he had to stand aside and sulk.

"Cousin, don't kneel down, follow me!" Miaoyuan stepped forward and stood up Aoi and wanted to pull her up.

"Miaoyuan stops making trouble. The Queen Mother refuses to see me, so I won't get up." Qingzhi said stubbornly.

"The Empress Dowager has agreed to you, just follow me!" Miao Yuan smiled at this time, but if Li Zhang was here, he would definitely see Miao Yuan was lying at a glance.

"Really?" Qingori was stunned when she heard Miaoyuan's words, and immediately asked in disbelief. After all, it was useless for her to kneel for so long, so why was the Empress Dowager suddenly going to see her?

"Of course it's true. My brother and I begged the Empress Dowager for a long time, but finally finally made the Empress Dowager change his mind." Miao Yuan smiled again at this time, and after saying that, he helped Qingzhi up again. This time, Qingzhi did not resist anymore. However, his legs were numb when he stood up, and he couldn't stand steadily at all. Thanks to Miao Yuan holding her, otherwise she would have to fall.

"Did the Empress Dowager really agree with Sister Qingzhi?" Li'er asked in surprise at this time. At this time, she didn't care about getting angry with Miaoyuan.

"Of course, you guys should go back early, I will take my cousin to the palace!" After Miao Yuan said that, he helped Qingzhi get on the carriage, and without waiting for Li'er and the others to say anything, he directly let the carriage enter the imperial city again. The guards guarding the imperial city naturally did not dare to stop him. After all, this was the only princess of the dynasty.

After Miaoyuan's carriage entered the imperial city, Qingzhi felt that her legs slowly regained consciousness, but she was also in deep thought at this time because she also had to consider how to persuade the other party to agree to release Li Zhang after seeing Liu E. Even if the other party disagrees, she still wants to marry Li Zhang. After all, she doesn't want to wait any longer, especially when her family wants to change their minds, she must completely dispel her family's ideas as quickly as possible.

Looking at Qingori who was in deep thought, Miaoyuan didn't speak either. In fact, a rather complicated look appeared on her face. After a while, Qingori woke up from her thoughts. However, when she looked out the window, she showed a look of surprise. Then she asked Miaoyuan: "It seems that this is not the way to Chuigong Palace, right?"

"No, let's go directly to Zongzheng Temple!" Miaoyuan replied calmly at this time.

"The Empress Dowager agrees that I meet Li Zhang?" Qingori couldn't help but show a happy expression when she heard Miaoyuan's words.

However, Miaoyuan smiled calmly again at this time, "Cousin, you want to meet the Queen Mother, but you just want her to agree to marry your cousin. Since that's the case, we might as well go directly to Zongzheng Temple and let you marry your cousin. What's the difference between not meeting the Queen Mother?"

"What?" Qingori immediately reacted when she heard Miaoyuan's words, and her face changed, "Did the Empress Dowager not agree to see me at all? You took me into the palace without authorization, and you even had to force yourself to break into the Zongzheng Temple?"
