After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen
Chapter 219: Settlement of Marriage
Nian Susu's jaw dropped in shock. "Have you forgotten everything you did in the past? You actually want to marry Prince Qing?"
Although Nian Qiaoyue was born in a humble family, it was difficult for her to marry Qin Fengtian but there was still hope. However, she was notorious now, and the queen would not agree even if she became Qin Fengtian's concubine.
In addition, Qin Fengtian disliked her and had been avoiding her, making it even more impossible.
Nian Qiaoyue was about to cry, and she grabbed her arm with tears in her eyes, "Sister... I had no choice..."
Nian Susu pushed him away, and the force pushed Nian Qiaoyue forward. Although she didn't fall, Nian Susu was able to break free.
"You have no choice?" Nian Susu sneered, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. "What on earth is the reason that forces you to destroy me?"
If Xiao Yunzheng wasn't a person who could distinguish right from wrong, she would have fallen into Nian Qiaoyue's trap and her reputation would have been ruined.
I clearly didn't harm Nian Qiao Yue's life, and I took the blame for her so many times. Although I was forced by the system, I actually saved her many times.
But she is so ungrateful, she is an ungrateful person who can never be tamed!
Whenever he thought of these things, Nian Susu felt a lump in his chest and felt very uncomfortable.
Nian Qiaoyue sat up straight and leaned against the car wall. Knowing she was in the wrong, she didn't dare to look at her. She just whispered, "I'm sorry. I promise I won't have bad intentions again."
Nian Su Su turned a deaf ear to it.
How true and false is this statement?
She sneered in her heart: Just fool others, don’t fool yourself.
Nian Qiaoyue said a few more nice words, but Nian Susu still ignored her, turned his face away, and treated her as a transparent person.
A surge of anger rose in her heart.
Nian Susu seems to be a good sister in front of others, but her true nature is revealed when she is asked for help in private. She is really a bitch!
Nian Qiaoyue cursed Nian Susu in her heart, and finally came to a conclusion: she could no longer rely on Nian Susu, and had to find another way out.
The carriage stopped outside Dongzhimen, and faint voices of people could be heard.
Nian Susu was helped down from the carriage, followed closely by Nian Qiaoyue.
Nian Chengyun got off another carriage, walked up to his two daughters, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense when you go in later, and don't make unnecessary small movements. Otherwise, if you annoy the emperor, it won't be solved by just bowing your head."
That one sentence overturned the two people's relaxed and happy mood, leaving only deep worry.
The emperor was worried about the events at Mount Jiuhua in the south of the Yangtze River and had originally planned to cancel the palace banquet, but was opposed by his ministers. This was a tradition that had existed since the founding of Liuli, so how could it be easily changed?
The emperor had no choice but to hold the palace banquet as usual, but he reduced the scale a lot and the number of attendees was reduced to two-thirds of the original number.
Nian Qiaoyue didn't know what was going on, but she just thought that Nian Chengyun was overly suspicious.
The two followed their father into the palace.
The Qinghui Hall is decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.
The first emperor to ascend the throne was drinking with his ministers with a smile on his face, seemingly unaffected by his official duties.
After Nian Susu sat down, his eyes immediately fell on Qin Junyu opposite him.
He sat upright, his crescent-white robe making his already pale face look abnormally pale, but at least it was better than his dying state that night.
He had not been drinking, and when he moved he mostly used his left hand.
The injury on his right shoulder will take two or three months to heal, but he has a good physique, so he may recover in a month.
Sensing the burning gaze on him, Qin Junyu raised his eyes and looked over at her. Through a group of slim dancers, he met her gaze.
Nian Susu rubbed his right shoulder casually, his eyes seemed to ask: How is the injury on your shoulder?
Qin Junyu nodded and moved his right arm slightly to tell her that he was fine.
She nodded as well, relieved.
After three rounds of drinks, the emperor suddenly mentioned the marriage of the two sons of the Xiao family.
"Jian Ting is about the same age as Yu'er, so it's time for him to get married. I've mentioned Yu'er's marriage several times, but he always said that he puts the country and the people first and doesn't want to talk about love. Jian Ting can't think the same way, right?"
The emperor looked at Xiao Jianting happily.
Xiao Jianting remained calm, but in fact he was extremely confused.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is concerned about the country and the people. I should learn from His Royal Highness, put aside my romantic feelings, and play the flute for the time being." His answer was flawless. He rejected the emperor without giving people any reason to find fault with him.
He lowered his head, and couldn't help but look towards Li Yaoyuan out of the corner of his eye.
There wasn't much emotion on Li Yaoyuan's face, but her eyes never left him.
Xiao Jianting felt like a thorn in his back.
"What do you think, General Xiao?" The emperor ignored him directly, and his tone became serious, with a majesty that could not be refused, "Your two sons are old enough to get married. They have been fighting against Nanchu on the border for many years and have never returned to Beijing. Now that they have finally come back, why not settle the marriage now? As a father, you can rest assured, right?"
General Xiao had no choice but to respond “yes”.
The emperor's words cannot be refuted.
Xiao Jianting clenched his fists and endured the pain.
Xiao Yunzheng looked anxious and wanted to say something to help her brother, but Xiao Helin held her down.
"No." He reminded in a low voice.
It was rare for the two of them to face each other in such a serious manner.
If she spoke, the emperor would probably get even angrier and vent his anger on their family. If others exaggerated the matter, it would be considered as being arrogant and despising the imperial power.
Xiao Yunzheng could only grit her teeth and bear it.
He treats Li Yaoyuan differently, and people close to him can see it. As Xiao Jianting's sister and Li Yaoyuan's best friend, Xiao Yunzheng naturally hopes that the two can fall in love with each other and get married.
But the emperor suddenly wanted to arrange a marriage for Xiao Jianting, and no one knew which girl he would marry.
The emperor's eyes swept across all the girls present and finally stopped on one of them.
The girls all lowered their heads, either to be reserved or to avoid being chosen, and they didn't dare to breathe.
Not only the girls, but the entire Qinghui Palace was silent, and no one dared to speak.
The emperor's voice rang out, breaking the tranquility. "General Xiao, what do you think of Miss Wang Yuejiao?"
Xiao Jianting felt as if struck by lightning. His whole body shook and his pupils dilated incredibly.
Xiao Yunzheng's expression showed her emotions. She just put on a sour face and went crazy immediately if she asked Wang Yuejiao to be her sister-in-law.
General Xiao wiped his sweat.
If Wang Yuejiao married into the Xiao family, it would definitely cause a big commotion, but if he rejected the marriage, it would be a slap in the face of the emperor.
With so many eyes watching, if he takes a wrong step, his entire family will lose their lives.
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Jianting suddenly appeared.
Li Yaoyuan clenched her handkerchief nervously, feeling extremely worried.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "Is Jian Ting dissatisfied with the marriage I arranged for you?"
Xiao Jianting knelt down and bowed his head to the ground, "Your Majesty, it's not that I am dissatisfied with this marriage. I am still a rough man, illiterate, and only know how to use swords and guns. Wang Yuejiao is the apple of Lord Wang's eye, talented and beautiful, but I am not worthy of Miss Wang, please withdraw your decision."
