After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen

"Your Majesty, I think marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. Miss Nian is a daughter of the Prime Minister's family and has been brought up with proper manners. How could she do something so outrageous as getting engaged to a man?" The Queen said with a hint of meaning, "In my opinion, the Crown Prince and Miss Nian are not as infatuated with each other as they say."

She smiled awkwardly and said, "Is there some kind of deal involved?"

Using marriage to consolidate power is not uncommon and exists in almost every dynasty and generation. Even the emperor marries the queen due to circumstances and interests. The two have no feelings for each other. How could the emperor not know how important the princess is to a prince?

Especially Qin Junyu, he is now the crown prince, and his wife is the crown princess. If the crown princess comes from a prominent family, then he will basically have secured the position of crown prince.

After the Queen mentioned this, the Emperor couldn't help but doubt whether they were truly in love.

Nian Qiaoyue stood up at this time.

She knelt beside the table and said in a steady and firm voice: "Your Majesty, I testify that your Highness and my sister are truly in love. Please grant them marriage!"

A smug smile appeared on her face, which was pressed under her arms.

It’s not that she wants to help Nian Susu, but if Nian Susu marries Qin Junyu, then no one will compete with her for Qin Fengtian, right?

When the queen no longer has the best choice, she might consider me!

Thinking of this, she wished that the emperor would issue an edict to grant them marriage right now, and the desire in her mind became more intense.

She bowed her head to the ground and did not see the resentful eyes and gloomy face of the Queen on the platform, otherwise she would not dare to say the following words.

"My sister and I live together in the prime minister's residence. We see each other every day. I know everything about my sister. Even if the emperor doesn't believe other people's one-sided statements, don't you believe me, your younger sister?"

Hearing this, the emperor's eyes flickered, as if he was moved.

The younger sister's testimony was indeed somewhat credible. If this situation happened to the two young ladies in the prime minister's mansion, no one would accuse Nian Qiaoyue of shielding or favoring Nian Susu, because it was well known that they had a bad relationship.

As for why Nian Qiaoyue helped Nian Susu... they were also guessing.

Nian Susu was so nervous that half of his body was stiff, and the hand holding Qin Junyu felt numb.

"Don't worry, I'm here." Qin Junyu whispered to comfort her.

This scene is really somewhat like the story of star-crossed couple facing difficulties together.

Before Qin Junyu could explain, someone had already stood up for him.

Concubine Ning sneered, "Isn't this simple? If you want to know whether the Crown Prince and Miss Nian are truly in love, just give them a question on the spot and let them answer it separately. If they answer the same, then it's true, if they are different, then it's false."

She glanced at the queen with disdain. "If you ask me, why does the queen have to look at them with such malicious eyes? They are just two children talking about love. What's the big deal?"

She clearly accused the Queen of judging others by her own standards, which made the Queen feel embarrassed. However, the Emperor doted on Concubine Ning and let her do whatever she wanted, including now.

The emperor smiled indulgently, "What Concubine Ning said is true. If two people truly love each other, they must know many things about each other."

He looked at Qin Junyu and Nian Susu, "Are you willing to accept this test?"

The two exchanged glances and nodded firmly, "Yes."

Concubine Ning said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, since you don't trust me, if I pass the test, it would be too unfair to His Highness and Miss Nian if you don't grant me the marriage."

Concubine Ning seemed to be helping the Queen to question them and even proposed a test, but in fact she was giving them a hard push, blocking all their retreat routes and forcing the Emperor to grant the marriage.

Both of them were aware of this, and they looked at Concubine Ning differently.

The Queen was so angry that her teeth were itching, and she cursed in her heart: When will Concubine Ning stop going against me!

However, Concubine Ning was not completely going against her. On the contrary, if Qin Junyu and Nian Susu were really just partners, then Concubine Ning's move actually helped her.

The Queen didn't believe that the two of them could understand each other.

The answers to all the questions are the same. When she asks some tricky questions, won’t the loopholes be revealed?

"Okay, if Yu'er and Miss Nian can pass the test, I will decree their marriage!"

The king never jokes, and Concubine Ning immediately signaled someone to bring two sets of the four treasures of the study.

The scene suddenly became lively, and all eyes were on the two of them. Everyone was curious about what questions the emperor would ask and whether they could answer them.

Nian Susu and Qin Junyu sat back to back, with a desk in front of each of them, on which were writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone. They were both ready.

In order to ensure authenticity, the emperor decided to randomly select ten people from the scene, ask each of them a question, and have two people answer it. However, the questions asked cannot be too divergent, otherwise the answers will not be unique and will be difficult to judge.

Of course, among these ten questions, three have already been decided, one for the emperor, one for the empress, and one for Concubine Ning. The remaining seven will be randomly selected.

Before starting, Nian Susu asked Qin Junyu: "Your Highness, do you believe me?"

Qin Junyu said without hesitation, "Believe it."

"Your Highness, please believe me. Just repeat your answer silently in your heart. I will be able to sense it." She said affirmatively.

Qin Junyu had no doubts and believed in her firmly.

Everyone was looking forward to it, hoping that the emperor would choose them to set the test questions, and they had already prepared some interesting and exciting questions in their minds.

The test begins.

The emperor was the first to ask a question. He walked down the steps and came between the two of them. He stroked his chin and thought for a while, then asked, "When did you two communicate with each other?"

As soon as the words came out, the scene became lively and there were even a few cheers, as if this was a competition. The atmosphere instantly became relaxed and cheerful, and the nature of the event changed instantly.

Qin Junyu thought about it, picked up the pen and wrote: Journey to Xisu.

Nian Susu used the mind-reading pill in advance, so she could clearly hear Qin Junyu's thoughts.

The trip to Xisu was ordered by the emperor to send Princess Tayali back to Xisu together. Everyone knew about it, and they fell in love with each other over time, so it was not a secret transaction.

I have to praise Nian Susu for his thorough consideration.

She also quickly wrote: Trip to Xisu.

People who were far away could not see what they wrote, but the emperor was standing behind them. When he saw the four words exactly as written, he was startled for a moment, but then he calmed down.

The others were so anxious that they wanted to turn over the food tray in front of them to look at their desks to see the answers.

Next, Concubine Ning asked questions.

Concubine Ning smiled evilly and asked a blushing question: "Have you two ever hugged each other? Where was the first time?"

Nian Susu couldn't help but blush.

Qin Junyu remained calm and wrote down the answer in no time.
