Surprise!!! The Regent Princess is actually a hidden boss

Chapter 40: Each of them talks about their relationship

When Chu Qianyu heard the emperor's words, she sneered inwardly. The new clan leader would be selected tomorrow, and they really couldn't wait.

After the dance ended, the people who came today began to present their gifts.

The party was almost over, and Chu Qianyu had thought of waiting until the very end to present the gift her mother had given her. Suddenly, an inopportune voice appeared. Lady Mu, who was standing by, looked at Chu Qianyu, stood up, saluted the queen, and said, "I remember that when you were still in the boudoir, you seemed to have a very good relationship with General Chu's wife. I wonder if you have asked someone to deliver the gift this time."

After hearing this, the Queen smiled and said, "I'm afraid Madam Mu Guogong doesn't know that Ah Ying is not feeling well right now, so I think she should focus on recuperating. And I don't care about these things."

"But taking care of your body is one thing, and choosing a gift shouldn't be a difficult thing, right?" After saying that, he looked at Chu Qianyu and said, "Miss Chu, don't you think so? And I remember that you didn't seem to come to the Queen's Thousand Years Banquet in previous years, but you suddenly showed up this year. I'm sure your mother would talk to you about this."

Chu Qianyu stood up and bowed slightly to the emperor, empress, and queen mother. After the emperor asked her to stand up, she bowed slightly to the wife of Duke Mu and said, "Thank you, madam, for your concern for mother. Mother had already informed me when I came here today. Let me bring a gift to the queen."

After saying that, Shao Ying behind him stepped forward and handed the gift box to Chu Qianyu.

She was seen holding the box, walking lightly, gracefully and elegantly to the center of the hall, presenting the box, then kneeling with her knees slightly bent, saying: "I congratulate Her Majesty the Queen on her eternal happiness, may you continue to enjoy good fortune, and may your beauty remain forever, and may you bless our country with peace and prosperity."

The Queen covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, "Oh, hurry up and get up. Today is really a good day. Ah Ying actually asked her daughter to give me a gift." After saying that, she looked at the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, don't you agree?"

A hint of joy flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Then he looked at Yunying and asked, "How is your mother's health now? Is she getting better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty and Your Majesty. My mother is now in good health. But she still needs to recuperate for a while."

"That's good, that's good." The emperor was obviously happy for Yunying.

The Queen glanced at the Emperor's expression, then lowered her head with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. She quickly suppressed it and said to the nanny beside her: "Go and get the gift box that Aying gave to me. Let me take a good look at it. See if Aying and I are still as in tune with each other as before."

"Yes." After the nanny agreed, she quickly went to take the box. After she opened it in front of the queen, she saw an exquisite jade hairpin with a phoenix pattern inside. The queen smiled as if she was very happy, and said happily to Chu Qianyu: "Qianyu, go back and tell your mother that I like her gift very much."

"On behalf of my mother, I would like to thank the Empress for liking this gift so much. Don't worry, Empress, I will convey every word to your mother." Chu Qianyu bowed slightly and replied very respectfully.

The queen then said to the maid beside her, "Quick, give me the hairpin inside."

"Yes." The nanny picked up the hairpin, found a suitable place and put it on.

The queen turned to look at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the hairpin that Ah Ying gave me?"

The emperor had a complicated look in his eyes. After a while, he smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, she always has good taste."

After Chu Qianyu sat down, the wife of Duke Mu curled her lips and looked at Chu Qianyu unhappily. It was because of the matter of her third son. If it weren't for their family, her son's leg would not be broken now.

So she originally wanted to cause some trouble for Chu Qianyu, but she didn't expect that she could avoid it so easily. This made her feel even more uncomfortable.

However, the Queen Mother's next words made her feel much better.

The Queen Mother looked at the Regent and said earnestly, "You are not young anymore. You spent the last few years in mourning for your father. I didn't say much. Now you are already 23 years old. Look at those of your age. They all have several children. But you are still alone. How can I be worthy of your deceased father?"

When Mo Yinan heard this, he said without any expression on his face: "Aunt. I will..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything. I'll decide for you this time. I've also chosen a girl for you. What do you think of the eldest daughter of Duke Mu's mansion? If you are willing, I will grant you marriage."

The Emperor also looked at Mo Yinan and said, "Your Majesty is doing this for your own good. You are indeed not young anymore. If you continue like this, do you want your bloodline to be cut off? Have you ever thought that your mother must be hoping for a prosperous family now?"

Mo Yinan sighed helplessly, and for some reason his eyes looked in the direction of Chu Qianyu. If he had to marry one, Chu Qianyu would be more acceptable to him.

But her identity, the mighty general, now he has the military power of the northern army in his hands, and the rest of the military power is in his own hands. The emperor will definitely not agree with the two of them. Forget it, if he doesn't agree this time, it may not be so easy to get through. Anyway, it doesn't matter who it is, it's just a foil.

Thinking of this, he stood up and bowed to the emperor and the queen mother, saying: "I will only rely on the arrangements of the queen mother and the emperor."

The Queen Mother and the Emperor breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Qingyan's smile almost overflowed when she heard this. She grabbed the sleeve of the wife of Duke Mu and said, "Mother, mother, he agreed."

"Go and express your gratitude." Duke Mu said, looking at the two of them.

Then the three of them walked to the main hall to thank the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and nodded to Mo Yinan.

The Queen Mother said to them, "I will issue an edict to grant you marriage tomorrow."

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Several people responded.

"Okay, okay, you all sit down." The emperor said to them.

Chu Qianyu was completely confused at this time. Did Mo Yinan just decide on the marriage? She hadn't even fulfilled the original owner's third request. What should she do now?

Before she could think about it, she heard the Queen say with a smile, "Since the Queen Mother has started this today, I would like to play matchmaker and mediate. It just so happens that Ah Ying's daughter is here today. If I remember correctly, she is sixteen now. I wonder if she is engaged?"

After hearing this, the old lady glanced at Chu Qianyu, and before she could say anything, she quickly replied: "Oh, thank you very much, Queen, for still thinking of you so much. Now the two sisters are old enough. If you have a suitable one..."

"What a coincidence. I have one here, but I don't know if you are satisfied with him. A few days ago, the wife of Marquis Jingyuan came to the palace and told me that her youngest son has passed the imperial examination and won the first place. It should not be a problem for him to become the first place in a few years. He has a bright future. He is also a loyal and honest person. I think he is a good son."

After saying this, she looked at the emperor and asked, "What do you think of him? Is he a good match for Qianyu?"

The emperor looked at Fu Yizi who was not far away. He saw that he was pale and looked like a weak scholar. He didn't know much about him, but he looked okay. So he nodded and said, "The queen must have thought it over carefully. It's okay if you think it's okay."
