No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Cao Li really didn't think much about it. After all, they were classmates who spent every day together in the Imperial College.

She was good-looking, but her family had fallen on hard times, and she felt a bit awkward among the children of high-ranking officials in the Imperial College.

Fortunately, because of her cousin Lin Yuer, no one dared to bully her.

But she felt a little uncomfortable in there, and sometimes she couldn't get a word in about what others were talking about.

Hongyu, on the other hand, was simple-minded and never talked about trivial matters.

She is cheerful even if she can’t continue studying, and the conversations with her are all about simple things like food and drink.

Cao Li had never felt so relaxed, so she liked being with Hongyu.

Besides, no matter what, Hongyan was still a prince, and no one dared to act rashly in front of him.

After she became close to Hongyan, her life in the Imperial College became much easier.

People tend to seek benefits and avoid harm, so she likes playing with Hongyu even more.

But Hongyan was still ignorant after all, so Cao Li was not so far away from developing romantic feelings for him.

She knew she didn't have the family background and had never thought about it in this way.

Unexpectedly, although Hongyu's brain was not very bright, the emotions that were coming were still very turbulent.

After Wu understood it clearly, she thought it was a good idea.

Bai Lu was a little confused: "Master, Miss Cao's family background is not very impressive at all. She is even the descendant of a criminal. Aren't you wronging our Third Prince?"

She watched Hongyu grow up, and her own child was always better than other people's.

Not to mention that the Third Prince is such a good man, but he is not worthy of a girl who is good in every aspect. She feels uncomfortable.

Wu glanced at her and said, "After all, Hongyan is like that. If she were a girl from a good family with a proud and arrogant heart, wouldn't she be annoyed by him?"

"This Miss Cao is just right. Her character and appearance are impeccable, but her background is lacking."

"Besides, the Cao family won't be able to rise again for two or three generations. By then, Hongyu will have grown old with her."

"Not to mention that the Second Prince is interested in Miss Lin, and they are cousins, so they must have a good relationship."

"With this relationship, Hongyu and his wife won't be bullied. It's so easy!"

The more Wu talked about it, the better she thought it was. She couldn't wait to go to the Cao family to propose marriage and finalize the marriage.

However, she also knew that she had no say in Hongyu's marriage, and it all depended on the wishes of the Emperor and the Empress.

She has never been able to do anything to the Emperor, but she can say a few words to the Empress.

She was a decisive person. After making up her mind, she went to the Old Summer Palace the next day.

Everyone in the Old Summer Palace knew that among all the concubines who were dismissed from the palace, Wu had the most face in front of the Empress.

Since she came to ask for a meeting, of course she reported to Jiuzhou Qingyan as quickly as possible.

Of course, Lin Mingyan would not delay, because she was really afraid that if she was not careful, this guy would start doing his old tricks again.

Unexpectedly, this time it was not poison. What Wu was talking about was Hongyan's marriage.

"Hongyu is sixteen years old, it's time for him to consider marriage," Lin Mingyan confirmed her concerns.

She can't always treat children of this era with modern eyes.

At this time, if a boy is not married by the age of fifteen, it is considered late in marriage.

The Fourth Master has recently been considering arranging marriages for Honghui and four other princes, but the first step is stuck with Honghui.

Honghui is the crown prince after all, so the crown princess must be chosen carefully.

This step got stuck and there was no news afterwards, which caused the delay.

Wu nodded hurriedly: "That's right, this little fool has grown up."

"Just the other day he told me that he had a girl he liked!"

She smiled with great satisfaction, just like a pig raised at home that had finally learned to dig up cabbages.

Lin Mingyan was also surprised by this and said in surprise, "Ah? Hongyu told you that?!"

People say Hongyu isn't very smart, but he didn't make any mistakes in this important matter!

Honghui is quite smart and has never mentioned this to her until now.

Wu smiled and nodded again: "That's right! I was shocked!"

"But you know, Queen, that Hongyan is such a stubborn kid. It's hard to refuse him if he falls in love with me..."

Lin Mingyan understood this very well. Not to mention Hongyan, it would be difficult for any boy to get married if his parents forced him to marry.

Moreover, the Fourth Master and she both thought that it would be best if the children could fall in love with each other.

If it's really someone like Honghui, they will consider it later.

I originally thought that Hongyu would be a problem, but I didn't expect that he would exert his own strength.

"This is good news!" Lin Mingyan sincerely thought it was good. "Which girl has he taken a fancy to?"

I just hope he is not from a wealthy family, otherwise Hongyan will be the one who has a hard time.

Wu said, "It's Miss Lin's cousin, the third daughter of the Cao family, Cao Li!"

"Ah?" Now it was Lin Mingyan's turn to be surprised.

The truth is that the Cao family is now a commoner family, and no matter what the circumstances, it is unlikely that Cao Li will be able to marry the prince.

But this is Hongyan!

Wu slapped her thigh and said, "Empress, don't you think this is a match made in heaven?"

"After all, they are classmates, and I like them both. Their future life will definitely be harmonious and happy."

Lin Mingyan saw that Wu's happiness did not seem fake, but she still reminded her, "The Cao family's family background is probably not good enough to be the prince's wife. I'm sorry to have wronged Hongyu."

Wu waved her hand and said, "The third daughter of the Cao family is also well-educated. Her character and appearance are excellent. She is more than qualified to be a match for Hongyan."

"Hongyu doesn't care about family background or anything like that. It's more important for the two of them to live a good life."

In fact, Wu knew that Hongyan was born to her former wife, Nara, and it would be a bad thing if he were to marry a wife with a high-ranking family background.

She also thought about choosing a wife from a humble family, but there was no way to guarantee her character and appearance, which would really be unfair to Hongyu.

Now, Miss Cao San is really the best candidate she could choose.

"Since that's what you want, I'll help you bring it up with His Majesty," Lin Mingyan answered carefully.

After all, the child is from the former wife, so she can't just make the decision. She still has to listen to the Fourth Master's opinion.

But with her words, Wu knew that the matter was settled.

How could His Majesty have the time to care about this matter? Isn’t it the Queen’s turn to listen to him?

In Wu's mind, these trivial matters have always been decided by the Empress, and the Emperor would never refuse.

She happily went home to wait for news, and the Fourth Master heard the news from Lin Mingyan in the evening.

He really didn't have any objections. After all, he didn't have any expectations for his son, but he also hoped that he could live a good life.

"Then the marriages of the second and third sons are no problem, but Honghui is a problem!" The Fourth Master had a headache.
