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

Just as the prince was about to speak, he was interrupted by someone rushing over from behind.

The queen came hurriedly, glared at the prince warningly as she passed by, then entered the imperial study and bowed to pay her respects.

"I have met His Majesty."

"The Queen is here too?"

A sneer flashed in the emperor's eyes. He sat up straighter and spoke calmly.

"Why did the Queen come here in such a hurry?"

"I heard that the prince had lost his mind again and was shouting something inappropriate, so I came here to reprimand him."

The Queen lowered her head, not knowing why His Majesty said that, and felt unsure.

"Meet the Queen."

Concubine Zhen nodded and half-bossed.

Shen Tangan stood up tremblingly, but fell back down before he was halfway up, looking at the queen with an apologetic look in his eyes.

"Please forgive me, Queen, I can't stand up anymore."

Her voice trembled when she spoke. Concubine Zhen thought she was in unbearable pain. She did not care about her status and hurriedly supported her with her hands, then turned to look at the emperor pleadingly.

"Your Majesty, she can't stand now, can you give her a seat?"

"Take a seat."

The emperor was still humane and did not refuse. He raised his hand and asked someone to help her sit on a chair nearby.

Every step Shen Tangan took felt like an electric current passing through his body, and his expression was filled with extreme pain.

When others saw her like this, they couldn't help but be moved. Even the Queen, who had come here in anger, didn't know what to say now.

I heard that she came to the imperial study early in the morning and cried about being humiliated in public by the prince. I didn't want to care about it, but the prince insisted on running into your majesty at this time.

After knowing that the prince was going to ask His Majesty to cancel the engagement, she could no longer sit still and rushed over in a hurry.

Fortunately, everything is still in time and His Majesty has not yet agreed.

It was a fact that Shen Tangan was humiliated, and it was not appropriate for her to make a fuss about it.

But the prince cannot break off the engagement with her. As long as the prince ascends the throne, the Lin family will definitely help him.

She hurried here just to stop this. She said she was scolding the prince, but it was just for His Majesty and Concubine Zhen to see.

Regardless of whether this matter is right or wrong, she must always adopt an attitude not to offend the Lin family.

"Empress, this is the third time the Crown Prince has come to me to ask to break off the engagement with the daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an. Do you think I should agree to his request?"

The emperor had already seen through her, and with a faint smile on his face, he asked slowly.

The Queen is more far-sighted than the Crown Prince. She knows that breaking off the engagement will not benefit the Crown Prince. It seems that she has great ambitions.

I thought she had never been competitive or concerned about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but now it seems that is not the case.

After being married to her for decades, I suddenly realized that there were still some things I didn't understand about her.

"Your Majesty, the prince is still young, and he is just talking nonsense. Your Majesty, please do not listen to him."

Still young?

When Shen Tangan heard this, he looked at the Queen in surprise, then at the Crown Prince who looked dissatisfied.

He's already at the stage of getting married and having kids, so he's still too young?

"Mother! I want to break off the engagement with Shen Tangan! I like the gentle and kind Second Miss of the Marquisate."

Unexpectedly, the prince had no idea that the queen was trying so hard for him and was sabotaging her behind her back.

He knew that after what happened yesterday, his mother no longer liked Wan'er, and she liked Shen Tang'an more, a scheming man who deliberately embarrassed Wan'er and stepped on Wan'er to gain the limelight.

But he only wanted to marry Wan'er. He had promised Wan'er that he would make her the Crown Princess!

Wan'er trusted him, and for him...

Looking at the emperor anxiously, "Father, I only want to marry Wan'er as the Crown Princess! She is both talented and beautiful, and cannot be compared to the useless Shen Tang'an. Father! The second young lady of the Marquis's Mansion deserves the position of Crown Princess!"

"Prince!"

The queen's eyes widened, feeling very disappointed with her.

Why doesn't he understand the value of Shangshu Mansion?

As the crown prince, how can you achieve great things if you only care about your children?

"Humph! Prince, you are truly my good son. Your stubborn character is exactly the same as the Queen's."

The emperor smiled and looked at the prince with calm eyes, unable to express his joy, anger, sorrow or happiness, and even his emotions could not be sensed from his words.

But everyone was so oppressed by the emperor that they dared not raise their heads.

Shen Tangan, who stayed out of the matter, could not avoid it either. He lowered his head and didn't even dare to look around.

The queen wanted to make a few excuses, but when she saw the emperor, all her words choked in her throat and she couldn't say a word.

"Go back!"

The emperor sighed softly, waved his hand tiredly, closed his eyes and let everyone leave.

The atmosphere in the imperial study was depressing. No one dared to breathe loudly. They bowed their heads, saluted, and quietly retreated.

Shen Tangan's legs were still numb, and he limped along at the end. Just as he was about to take a step forward, he heard the majestic voice behind him again.

"Appoint Shen Tangan as Princess Yong'an."

However, this simple sentence made everyone look shocked, and their eyes instantly focused on Shen Tangan.

"Miss Shen, why don't you accept my order and thank me?"

The chief eunuch at the side immediately gave a low reminder.

Shen Tangan finally came back to his senses from his daze, turned around, knelt on the ground with a "thump", and kowtowed hard.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

She wanted some compensation, but she didn't expect the emperor to be so generous!

"Be gentle and go back and take good care of your legs."

The emperor felt a little better when he saw how frightened and clumsy she was, and he gave her a few more instructions.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will keep it in mind."

Shen Tangan nodded heavily, but still felt it was unreal until he left the imperial study.

"An'er, you've really made it!"

Concubine Zhen smiled and pinched her face. She had originally felt sorry for her legs, but now she felt that kneeling for the whole morning was worth it.

Who would want to marry the prince now? With An'er's family background and the title of princess, the prince's wife would have to return a small gift when she sees her.

"Aunt, is this true?"

Shen Tangan is still confused until now and can't believe that she was canonized as a princess.

The name is Yongan!

The Queen walked up to her side. She had been looking unhappy ever since she left the Imperial Study.

What does your majesty really mean now?

She didn't openly agree to Jun'er's cancellation of the engagement, but she still canonized Shen Tang'an. She couldn't understand it.

However, she knew that after Shen Tangan was canonized as a princess, Concubine Zhen also felt proud.

She was unhappy when Concubine Zhen was proud.

"You... even if you are canonized as a princess, this prince will not marry you!"

The prince was also confused. Although he didn't understand the situation, he still warned her not to covet the position of crown princess.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I don't want to marry you."

At this point, Shen Tangan no longer pretended. As the Queen was still around, he didn't dare to say too much.

But this sentence was enough to break the prince's defense. After all, he had always thought that Shen Tangan had tried every possible means and put all her heart into marrying him. Now that she told him that she didn't want to, how could he believe it?

He sneered, "No need to play hard to get. This prince won't fall for it."

After saying this, he didn't give her a chance to refute and walked away quickly.

Shen Tangan stamped her feet in anger, but the numbness had not yet worn off, making her grimace.

There was silence in the imperial study. The emperor leaned back on the throne and sighed tiredly.

"Prince Chen, I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Mu Chenye walked out from behind the ink-and-wash screen, with a slender figure and deep eyes.
