The evil woman is arrogant and the cold emperor can't sleep at night

Shen Tangan smiled sweetly, looking directly at the slightly stunned person in front of her. If possible, it would not be impossible for Prince Chen to be her husband.

At least his appearance completely matches her aesthetic, and he has helped her several times, so he is a good person.

He has a noble status and happens to be able to suppress the prince.

Rather than marrying the Crown Prince, she would rather choose Prince Chen.

"I see."

Mu Chenye nodded as if he understood, as if he had taken her words to heart.

He has always believed in taking a sip from one of the three thousand rivers. He had spent a night with her in the temple because of drugs, and it was really a helpless act.

Even so, he never thought of escaping from his responsibilities. Even if he didn't like her, he would still make her the princess and she would be his only one in his life.

But now, his feelings towards her were clearly changing. He wanted to get to know her better and wanted her to be his princess even more.

"Your Majesty."

"Ok?"

Mu Chenye came back to his senses because of her call, and when he raised his eyes, he met a pair of smiling eyes.

Shen Tangan propped up his chin and looked at him with a smile, hiding the inquiry in his eyes.

What happened between her and Prince Chen? Why did he protect her to this extent?

"Did anything unusual happen between us?"

After hearing these words, Mu Chenye's heart trembled. He turned his head slightly and didn't want to look at her. A trace of panic flashed across his face where she couldn't see.

The usually calm and composed man didn't know how to answer at this moment and could only remain silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, please think about it before telling me. I don't want to be entangled with you in an unclear relationship."

Shen Tangan saw his embarrassment, stood up and stopped asking questions, and bowed to him respectfully.

"Thank you for your help today, Your Majesty. If you need my help in the future, I will do my best."

She didn't know what the relationship between the two was, but she knew that what you owe to others must be repaid, and free is the most expensive.

Prince Chen helped her today, and she will repay the favor in the future.

"It doesn't matter, it's the King..."

I owe you.

Mu Chenye didn't dare to speak the last few words.

Since it concerned her innocence, he didn't dare to speak it out easily.

They were also afraid that due to unexpected events, they would regard him as a playboy and would not want to see him again, or even hate him.

Now that he is sure that she does not want to marry the prince, he will certainly marry her as soon as possible with the ceremony of a princess and a formal wedding.

"I have something else to do, so I will leave first. Your Majesty, please do as you please."

Shen Tangan looked at him with a smile, a cunning gleam in his eyes.

"Your Highness, I am waiting for you."

It was not until she left that Mu Chenye realized the meaning of her words and would wait for his explanation.

When they arrived at the banquet, almost everyone was seated, and the banquet could begin as soon as the queen arrived.

The man and the woman sat opposite each other, the man on the left and the woman on the right. Shen Tangan had a high status and his seat happened to be next to Mingyue.

The ladies around her were all discussing Prince Chen, wondering whether he would attend the banquet tonight. Two-thirds of them bet that he would not attend, after all, Prince Chen did not like crowds.

Except for the queen, the seat headed by men is still vacant, because that is the position of the prince. He must still be kneeling in front of the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Once again, I sighed that the power of Prince Chen was so great that even the Crown Prince dared not disobey him and he still dared not to get up until now.

Mingyue saw her, snorted coldly, turned his head and ignored her.

Shen Tangan wondered how he had offended her again.

"The Queen is here!"

As the eunuch's sharp voice sounded, everyone fell silent. The queen, surrounded by palace servants, slowly walked up to the throne on the high platform. She was noble and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament, quite like the mother of a country.

After the queen stood still, everyone stood up and saluted, saying in unison.

"Greetings to Her Majesty the Queen! Long live Her Majesty the Queen!"

The queen waved her sleeves, sat down, and raised her hand.

"Flat body."

Only then did everyone dare to stand up and sit down quietly, no one dared to make a sound.

"Where is the prince?"

The queen noticed the prince's vacant seat at a glance and asked with a frown.

"My dear mother, my prince brother has been punished by his uncle to kneel in the pavilion in the middle of the lake."

Mingyue stood up and answered respectfully, glancing at Shen Tangan while speaking.

"Prince Chen is here?"

The Queen's first reaction was not concern for the Crown Prince, but surprise at the Prince's arrival.

Shen Tangan lowered his eyes, and only then did he deeply feel how strange it was that Chen appeared here. Even the queen was shocked.

The banquet hall is now full of people. Although there were many people watching the quarrel in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, they were nothing compared to the people here.

Mingyue knew the seriousness of the matter. The prince was in the wrong regarding the incident at the Lakeside Pavilion, and it could not be brought up openly.

He looked at the queen in embarrassment, then bent over and whispered to her.

Even though the queen was trying to remain calm, she frowned unconsciously, and looked at Shen Tangan with a somewhat strange look.

After knowing the whole story, he raised his hand to call the people around him and said something to them. Not long after, the prince limped over with the support of Shen Qingwan.

When the prince walked into the banquet, the first thing he did was to glare at Shen Tangan fiercely, and then he saluted the queen.

"My son has met his mother."

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

The queen still felt sorry for her son and almost went to help him herself.

When Shen Tangan saw her reaction, he knew that his day was over.

Although the fault lies with the prince, it was caused by her, and the prince is her own son. I think the queen will not let her go.

But as the mother of a country and the Empress of the Central Palace, the Queen should be broad-minded and will not hold it against her, right?

"Your servant Shen Qingwan greets Her Majesty the Queen."

Shen Qingwan helped the prince sit down and even straightened his clothes to show her gentleness and consideration.

"Shen Qingwan? But she is the second daughter of Yong'an Marquis?"

The queen looked at her when she heard the voice. Although her voice was still gentle, her eyes had already turned cold.

Jun'er went to His Majesty for her, which angered His Majesty and he was confined to the East Palace for three days.

Although she looks pure and lovely, she is not half as majestic as Shen Tangan, and even less so in terms of family background.

How could such a person be qualified to marry Jun'er? Today, he was punished by the King Chen to kneel in public, which brought him great shame!

It's such a disaster!

Although she also looked down on Shen Tangan, she had the Shangshu Mansion behind her and could still be used to her advantage. If Jun'er didn't like her, she could marry her and leave her in the inner house, and then take a few concubines as she pleased, and His Majesty would not say anything.

But somehow he was bewitched by this enchantress and insisted on breaking off the engagement and making her the Crown Princess.

How could she, a concubine's daughter with no family background, be qualified!

I don't know what kind of drug was used to make Jun'er so crazy, but he seemed to lose his mind when he saw her.

"It is you! Your Majesty the Queen has a really good memory. I am truly flattered that you can remember me."

Shen Qingwan was overjoyed when she heard that the queen had accurately recognized her.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have often mentioned her in front of the Queen, and the Queen liked her and remembered her.

But the queen's next words made her freeze in place.

"I remember that the Spring Banquet invited the daughters of the major families. Since when did any random person get in?"
