The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 445 Who of You Wants to Marry the Emperor

"Don't grandma and the others care about me anymore?" Ye Hongzhuang was filled with despair. Thinking about what her mother had told her about the Xiao family last night, she couldn't help but curse Ye Wenyan again. "It was all caused by that damn bitch Ye Wenyan. If it weren't for her, the Sixth Prince would have been fine and might even have become the emperor. How can I kill that bitch?"

Xiao Shubai also wanted to know how to kill Ye Wenyan. For a moment, both mother and daughter fell into deep thought. Xiao Shubai thought of the one million taels of silver he owed to Prince Su's Mansion, which was due tomorrow, and he couldn't help but become more irritated.

"I heard that the eldest princess will hold a birthday banquet in two days, and Ye Wenyan has been invited." Ye Hongzhuang thought to herself, "If one more person goes with us, the princess's mansion won't refuse to let us in, right? As the saying goes, one should not hit a smiling person. We bring gifts with us, how can the princess's mansion refuse to accept them?" She raised the corner of her lips and snorted. If Ye Wenyan got into trouble in the princess's mansion, with the eldest princess as his number one enemy above him and so many guests attending the banquet below him, it would have nothing to do with her, Ye Hongzhuang.

The carriage finally reached Chaofeng Gate, and Xiao Shubai led Ye Hongzhuang to get off the carriage from a distance. She brought the name card of the Xiao family today. Old Madam Xiao and Empress Dowager Li were distant relatives, and the name card of the Xiao family was more useful to Empress Dowager Li than the name card of the Ye family.

The guards carefully checked the name card, and one of them said, "Madam, you cannot enter the palace without the invitation of the Empress Dowager, even if you have the name card. But Madam Xiao is a relative of the Empress Dowager after all, so we will still send someone to Yong'an Palace to inform you. As for whether the Empress Dowager is willing to see you, that is not certain."

Xiao Shubai thanked him again and again. To ensure that she could meet the Queen Mother Li, she pointed at Ye Hongzhuang and said, "I don't know if you recognize this person, but she is the Princess Su, the daughter-in-law of the Queen Mother. Today, we are visiting relatives, and the Queen Mother will definitely meet us."

The imperial guards glanced at Ye Hongzhuang and shook their heads, "I am of low rank and do not recognize so many nobles. But if the Princess Su has arrived, there is no need to announce her and she can be allowed to pass directly. Excuse me, Madam, do you have the badge of the Prince Su's Mansion? It is our duty to recognize badges, not people."

Ye Hongzhuang shook her head and said, "I went back to visit my parents these few days, and I didn't bring the badge with me."

"I'm sorry, but please wait a moment while I go in and pass the message."

As the man was about to leave, he heard a voice coming from behind them: "Wait a minute!"

The two turned around, and when they saw who was coming, Xiao Shubai was stunned, while Ye Hongzhuang shuddered violently.

The imperial guards had already knelt down and called out, "Prince Regent!"

The person who came was none other than the Regent King Quan Ji. He had no intention of paying attention to the imperial guards who were saluting him. He just cast his gaze towards Ye Hongzhuang, looked at her for a while, and snorted coldly, "Why are you here?" Ye Hongzhuang couldn't stop shivering, as if she was back in the Prince Su's Mansion, facing the fake Sixth Prince, and facing the cold whip.

She knew too well that the Regent and the fake Sixth Prince were in cahoots. They often met and talked in the study for a long time every time they met. She also followed that person to the Regent's Palace and heard news about the Third and Fourth Princes.

Now that they met again, her intuition told her that this trip was in vain and she would definitely not be able to see Empress Dowager Li.

Not only can you not see it, but you also alert the enemy.

"I followed my mother into the palace." Ye Hongzhuang lowered her head and spoke in a low voice.

Quan Ji said, "This is not the place for you, go back!"

"Why doesn't the Regent allow us to enter the palace?" Xiao Shubai spoke up. "My mother and I are from both the Xiao family and the Ye family. No matter from which side, we are qualified to enter the palace. You are the Regent, but this is Chaofengmen, not the former dynasty. The Regent should not be in charge of the affairs of the harem."

"Hmm?" Quan Ji looked at Xiao Shubai for a while, then sneered, "You have a good point, but it's a pity that I don't like to listen. Anyway, you two can't enter this palace gate, so go back quickly! As for whether I am concerned about the affairs of the former court or the harem, these are all matters of our Quan family, and outsiders have no right to interfere."

After saying this, he glanced at the imperial guard who was about to go in to pass the message. The imperial guard immediately understood and decided not to go in to pass the message anymore.

Xiao Shubai and Ye Hongzhuang were filled with despair.

In fact, there is another thing, but they just don’t know it at the moment. If they knew it, they would be even more desperate.

Ye Wenyan entered the palace!

An hour before the two of them set out, Ye Wenyan had already entered the harem and went straight to Changxin Palace. Because he arrived so early, he was able to have breakfast with Queen Mother Yu in the palace.

Ye Wenyan did not come alone, she brought Ye Qingmei and Ye Chulian, and also brought the skilled craftsman Ying Peng. But Ying Peng was not as comfortable as her, it was not convenient for him to go to the harem so early in the morning, so he had to be led by the palace servants to stay in the Fairy Palace for a while, and wait until the Empress Dowager finished her breakfast and the Emperor finished his morning court, and then he could follow the Emperor to the harem.

Queen Mother Yu was very happy that Ye Wenyan could enter the palace. When she heard that Ye Wenyan was going to have breakfast with her, she immediately ordered the palace servants to make the breakfast as sumptuous as possible to show how much she valued Ye Wenyan.

Because he valued Ye Wenyan, he also valued Ye Qingmei and Ye Chulian. He even asked Ye Qingmei again if she had a husband. After hearing the result, he asked, "Have you ever thought about changing your husband's family?"

Ye Qingmei blushed and shook her head, wondering if her husband's family could be changed just like that. But she couldn't talk to the Queen Mother like that, so she had to signal Ye Wenyan with her eyes to help her out.

Ye Wenyan advised Empress Dowager Yu: "My elder sister is several years older than the emperor. It's not appropriate."

"When she grows up, she knows how to care for others and is steady. She is the best person to sit in the position of queen." Empress Dowager Yu also made a bold move. "As long as Qingmei nods, I will immediately send the betrothal gifts to the Ye family and issue the marriage certificate. When the emperor turns 18, the marriage can be held."

When Ye Wenyan heard that this was a real investment and the position of Queen was even promised, he couldn't help but look at Ye Qingmei.

Ye Qingmei felt that her sister was too unreliable, as both sides fell too quickly.

Seeing that Ye Qingmei had no intention of nodding, Empress Dowager Yu sighed helplessly, "It's just that I'm not so lucky." After saying that, before Ye Qingmei could say a few polite words to her, she turned around and thought about Ye Chulian again, "Is the fifth lady engaged?"

Ye Chulian felt like crying. She just came along to eat for free. She had never heard that she had any lines.

But she had to answer the Queen Mother's question, so she said, "I am still young and have not yet been engaged, but I do not intend to consider the Emperor. Please, Queen Mother..." She wanted to give up on this idea, but luckily she stopped herself in time and changed it to - "Please, Queen Mother, choose another woman for the Emperor. I am only a concubine of the Ye family and am not worthy of the Emperor."

"What is a concubine afraid of?" Empress Dowager Yu waved her hands. "I am not the principal wife, and the emperor is also a concubine. Isn't it just right for him to be with you, a concubine? Fifth Miss, please consider it."

"Don't consider it, don't consider it." Ye Chulian immediately waved her hand, "I will never consider it."

"Are you so determined?" Queen Mother Yu was very disappointed, but she was also a positive person who could always find ways to raise hope when she was disappointed. She turned around and pulled Zhuier over, "You, you can always do it."

Zhuier was confused, "Who? Who can do it?"

Queen Mother Yu: "You."

"I, what can I do?"

Empress Dowager Yu: "Marry the Emperor."

"I won't do it!" Zhuier tried to hide behind Ye Wenyan. "I won't do it, even if you kill me. Marrying the emperor is not an easy job. I have to face so many women all day long, and I have to be schemed against by others. I might be schemed to death in a few days. I will never marry the emperor. I would rather marry a coachman than marry the emperor."

She was howling here when Quan Qingcheng came in with Wu Fei and Ying Peng. They just happened to hear Zhuier say "I would rather marry a coachman than the emperor". The young emperor turned hostile on the spot - "Say it again!"

Zhuier was startled and thought to herself, is it such a coincidence? She is so unlucky that someone will come after she scolds him.

But she has never been afraid of Quan Qingcheng. Seeing Quan Qingcheng glaring at her with his big eyes, she became even angrier and retorted: "Say it again! I will marry a rickshaw driver rather than you, Quan Qingcheng!"

"You... on what grounds?" Quan Qingcheng was so angry that his face turned blue. "How am I not better than a rickshaw driver? If you don't want to marry me, then don't marry me. Why do you compare a rickshaw driver with me?"

"My young lady said that everyone in this world is equal and no one is superior to anyone else. Why can't you compare yourself with the coachman? If you can't compare yourself with me, it means you think my young lady, your sister, is wrong. Do you dare to say that your sister is wrong?"

"I dare... that's weird! Sister Wen Yan did nothing wrong. If there was any fault, it was our fault."

"That's right!" Zhuier finally broke free from Empress Dowager Yu's hand, returned to stand up behind Ye Wenyan, "I will follow my young lady for the rest of my life, and I won't marry anyone. Especially you, Quan Qingcheng, I get a headache just thinking about you having a harem full of women in the future, please don't count me in, it makes me sick just thinking about it. You can do anything else but become an emperor, it's really killing me."

Quan Qingcheng was very frustrated. "I didn't even despise you for being a maid, but you actually despised me for being the emperor. What kind of world is this now? Pei'er, do you know that if people outside hear this thought, they will definitely think you are a fool?"

"I'm not stupid, thank you. Also, my name is Zhuier. If I have to remind you every time, when will you remember it?"

"Whether you remember or not, what does it matter? You are not my wife, so it doesn't matter whether you call me Zhuier or Peier?" Quan Qingcheng snorted a few times and came over to pay his respects to Queen Mother Yu, "My son greets you, mother."

Empress Dowager Yu was smiling at the moment. The more she watched the two bickering, the more she found it interesting. She was thinking, originally she thought that if the emperor liked Zhuier, he would take her into the palace as a concubine. But now she saw that the concubine was too young, so she had to be a noble concubine. This maid could make Ye Wenyan spoil her into such a temper, which showed that she was extremely favored by the master.

As long as Ye Wenyan likes it, at worst I’ll just grit my teeth and give her a queen!
