After swallowing my anger and taking the blame, I became the lucky little queen
Chapter 82: Your Majesty, please say something!
Nian Susu was struck by lightning. The half-bitten piece of cake in her mouth fell silently back onto the plate. She was stunned.
The Queen had long intended to marry her to Qin Fengtian, and said she would give her time to consider it. In fact, it was because she had not yet found a suitable time to ask the Emperor to arrange a marriage for her, and now was a perfect opportunity.
The two countries are on good terms, and the emperor is very pleased. Qin Fengtian has made great contribution in escorting Princess Tayali back to the country, and as an entourage, she has made some hard work even if she has no merit, so the emperor will definitely reward her greatly.
The queen just wanted to take advantage of the drinking mood to get the emperor to make a big move and finalize the marriage. The emperor never jokes about his words, and even if he feels that it is inappropriate after consideration, he cannot regret it.
The emperor put down his wine cup, his smile faded a little, his eyes wandered between Qin Fengtian and Nian Susu, and finally landed on Nian Susu, "Yes, Miss Nian has become more and more graceful, it's the right age for marriage."
When it comes to his daughter's marriage, Nian Chengyun naturally has to speak out.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, for your concern." He bowed timidly and turned to look at Nian Susu. He was pleased to see that she looked calm and had retained the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
If it were any other young lady, if the Emperor and Empress personally asked about their marriage, they would either be so surprised that they would lose their composure, or be so frightened that they would behave improperly in front of the palace. However, Nian Susu remained calm and composed, and lived up to his high hopes.
Nian Chengyun wiped his sweat and his eyes fell on the person above.
He knew what the queen's purpose was, but he didn't want Nian Susu to marry Qin Fengtian, at least not now.
He guessed that the emperor would not agree.
As a founding minister, he had followed the emperor for twenty to thirty years. Although he did not dare to guess the emperor's intentions privately, he claimed to be the person who understood the emperor best.
In the current situation, all he has to do is to give in according to the emperor's wishes.
He smiled and said self-deprecatingly, "It's just that this child has been spoiled by me and my wife in the mansion, and has become more and more unruly. If I let her get married now, wouldn't it be a joke? When I return, I will let my wife teach her the rules, and it won't be too late to discuss marriage later."
The emperor smiled and signaled the maid behind him to pour some wine, then he drank it slowly.
Nian Susu looked up at Qin Junyu. What did he think about this matter?
Qin Junyu closed his eyes and played with the wine glass, showing an attitude of "it's none of my business".
Nothing he said would be right at this moment. The emperor must be aware of the queen's purpose. It depends on whether he wants to let Qin Fengtian take the throne of crown prince.
If you want, then agree to this marriage, if you don't want...
He sneered. Looking at the reaction of the old fox Nian Chengyun, it was not difficult to guess what the emperor meant.
He downed a glass of wine, his eyes met hers, and they both dodged almost simultaneously.
The emperor did not vote, and the queen could not sit still. "Prime Minister, what you said is wrong. I know that Miss Nian is kind-hearted and thoughtful. How can there be no rules?" She looked at Nian Susu who was looking down and lowering her eyebrows, and her eyes showed relief. "I like this child more and more."
"Eh?" The Queen seemed to suddenly remember something. "Tian'er is old enough to get married. Children of other young masters of the same age have all run away. I envy him so much. As for Tian'er... it's fine if the position of princess is left vacant, but he doesn't even want to marry a concubine. I get a headache just thinking about it."
Nian Susu glanced at Qin Fengtian and secretly complained to himself: Your child can also run, what are you envious of?
Listening to the queen's words, everyone understood each other tacitly and waited for the last key point.
The queen smiled and said, "It just so happens that Miss Nian and Tian'er are of similar age and get along well. If this can become a good story, I will be very happy."
Having said that, if the emperor just nods again, the marriage will be a done deal.
Nian Qiaoyue was so anxious that her eyes and mouth were crooked. She kept giving Qin Fengtian, who was standing opposite her, a look that clearly said:
Your Majesty! Please say something!
Qin Fengtian swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to look at Nian Qiaoyue. Did she want him to disobey her mother? He didn't dare.
But if he was asked to marry Nian Susu, he would refuse.
Not to mention that Nian Susu always targeted Nian Qiaoyue and had a very bad heart, he didn't want to marry her just because she "behaved in one way in front of others and another behind their backs."
On the way back to Beijing, Nian Qiaoyue asked him to promise not to marry Nian Susu and to give her a legitimate position.
At that time, he was immersed in the land of tenderness, and Nian Qiaoyue coaxed and deceived him into agreeing.
Thinking about it now, I feel that I was too impulsive at that time.
Being pressured from both ends, Qin Fengtian was extremely worried.
"Tian'er, what do you think?" The queen gave Qin Fengtian a look.
He had made great contributions and asked the emperor to grant him a marriage. I think the emperor would not refuse.
Nian Qiaoyue felt extremely aggrieved. She looked at Qin Fengtian with tears in her eyes. Her tearful look made people feel pity for her.
Qin Fengtian only took one look at her and his heart softened.
He trembled like a sieve, "Replying to the Queen Mother, I think that Miss Nian is also very good, not worse than Miss Nian."
The Queen Mother only wanted him to marry the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion so as to win over Nian Chengyun. Then the eldest daughter and the second daughter should be the same, right? With this idea in mind, he became much bolder, "Mother, I didn't have much contact with Miss Nian during this trip, but I got along very well with Miss Nian."
"Tian'er! Do you know what you are saying?" The queen warned him indirectly.
Qin Fengtian has never disobeyed her orders since he was a child. Now, he has known Nian Qiaoyue for less than half a year and he dares to disobey her on major issues. It is obvious that he has been corrupted by Nian Qiaoyue!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Nian Qiaoyue instinctively felt a sharp gaze coming towards her, and she lowered her head in fear. She looked calm on the surface, but in fact her handkerchief was about to be torn to pieces.
Nian Su Su's eyes look at the nose, and the nose looks at the heart. Except for the queen, everyone present was opposed to this marriage.
The emperor did not want her to marry Qin Fengtian. Firstly, he was afraid that the Queen's party would become too powerful and his imperial power would be taken away. Secondly, he did not want the position of crown prince to change hands at the moment.
The open and covert struggles between the Prince's Party and the Queen's Party just formed a check and balance relationship and maintained the stability of the court. If the Queen's Party got the support of the Prime Minister's Office, they would definitely dominate, and not only would Qin Junyu lose his position as Prince, but even his throne as Emperor might not be stable.
Nian Chengyun understood the emperor best and knew the pros and cons of the matter, so he used roundabout means to help Nian Susu reject the marriage proposal.
Qin Fengtian stood up for Nian Qiaoyue, which gave the emperor a reason to refuse.
The emperor waved his hand at the queen, signaling her to calm down, and asked Qin Fengtian:
"So, Tian'er is interested in Second Miss Nian, not Miss Nian?"
Nian Qiaoyue was just an unfavored concubine. Nian Chengyun had been neutral for so long that he would never stand on the side of the queen for the sake of a concubine. Therefore, if his son wanted to take her as a concubine, he would not stop him.
Nian Qiaoyue's face turned red and her heart beat rapidly, hoping that the prince would take this opportunity to ask the emperor for a marriage.
The queen knew what her son was thinking, and was really afraid that he would act on impulse and ask for Nian Qiao Yue to leave.
She kept giving Qin Fengtian glances, warning him not to act rashly.
There are only two young ladies in the Xiangfu, and there is no reason for both of them to marry Tian'er. If Tian'er marries Nian Qiaoyue and gives up Nian Susu, wouldn't that be like throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds? She will never allow such a thing to happen!
