After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Chapter 87 The Servant Has Someone She Loves

The Emperor said, "I think the daughter of the Marquis of Qingyuan is a good girl, but I still need to ask the young lady's opinion on this marriage."

The Empress Dowager and Concubine Liu said, "Of course."

The Empress Dowager spoke kindly, "Qingyu, I would like to give you to Xiaowu as his consort. What do you think?"

When the Queen Mother said this, everyone took a deep breath.

They all looked at Ye Qingyu with burning eyes, filled with envy, jealousy, resentment, and unwillingness.

Ye Qingyu stood up and saluted, "Your Highness the Fifth Prince, a descendant of a noble family, is unparalleled in grace. To be able to marry His Highness the Fifth Prince is naturally a blessing accumulated through many lifetimes."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "That means you are very satisfied with Xiaowu."

Ye Qingyu waved her hands in panic, "No, Your Majesty, please forgive me for my rudeness. The Fifth Prince is a man of great stature and elegance, and is naturally the dream husband of every lady, but, but..."

Ye Qingyu's fair little face was blushing with shyness, and there was fear and panic in her eyes.

The Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and Concubine Liu naturally saw that Ye Qingyu did not want to accept this arranged marriage, and they also saw that from her shy appearance, she must have a lover.

The fifth prince had a smiling face, but when he saw that Ye Qingyu really dared to disobey the order, his face turned ugly.

Shen Mingxiu, who was standing by, saw the Fifth Prince's expression and couldn't hide the hint of pride in the gentle smile on his face.

He looked at Ye Qingyu. He didn't expect that she would dare to disobey the order for him, even in front of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. It seemed that she really loved him terribly. After they got married, he should treat her better.

When Concubine Liu saw that Ye Qingyu dared not to marry her son, her face naturally turned ugly, and her gentle voice also had a hint of coldness, "Why, are you already engaged, or do you have someone you like?"

When Xu saw Concubine Liu's expression, she was filled with panic.

She didn't expect that the Queen Mother and Concubine Liu would be interested in Qingyu as the Fifth Prince's princess, nor did she expect Qingyu to dare to disobey the order, her little darling.

Xu quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, Qingyu has no engagement, but this child's mother has passed away, and she is still in mourning."

Concubine Liu said coldly: "It's not like we're getting married right away. Just grant her the marriage first and wait until she's out of mourning."

Before Xu could speak, Ye Qingyu secretly pulled her aside and said, "Your Highness, the Fifth Prince is a man of heaven, so he deserves a devoted lover to be his equal. Qingyu already has someone she loves, so she is not worthy of His Highness the Fifth Prince."

The Queen Mother was moved by the sincerity on her face.

Being granted marriage to a prince is a blessing that many people would wish for, but she dared to refuse. For a girl to speak so frankly about the person she loves, it can be seen that she is a courageous and sentimental child.

Although the emperor was somewhat unhappy that Ye Qingyu was unwilling to marry his son, he had a good impression of her and was naturally more tolerant.

"Well, which boy do you like? Tell me, and I will fulfill your wish today."

Ye Qingyu blushed as she looked at the emperor, but still spoke shyly, "Your Highness, I am attracted to His Highness the Prince of Chu. Please grant me your blessing!"

After Ye Qingyu finished speaking, the entire hall fell into eerie silence.

The emperor spoke casually, "Okay, King of Chu? King of Chu is..."

Um?

King of Chu?

The emperor finally realized who Ye Qingyu was talking about. He widened his eyes and asked, "Are you talking about Li'er?"

Shen Mingxiu's face was blue and purple, and his gaze at Ye Qingyu was full of heat.

Although the Fifth Prince did not expect that Ye Qingyu would rather marry Shen Yanli, that loser, than marry himself, and he had strong objections to this, he felt extremely happy when he saw that his Fourth Brother also looked like he was struck by lightning.

Although he knew that the Fourth Prince seemed to be indifferent to Ye Qingyu's admiration, but as a man, how could he not feel proud that a lady from a noble family treated him like this? Although the Fourth Prince was on the same side as him, he felt that his brother was hypocritical when he saw his brother's look, and he sneered at him.

Xu naturally knew about the relationship between Ye Qingyu and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, but she didn't expect that this child would be so bold. She wanted to marry the Prince of Chu, and asked His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu to ask the Emperor or the Queen Mother for an imperial decree to grant the marriage. She, a girl, was the one who rushed to express her feelings. Isn't this a joke?

Ye Qingyu ignored the foolish looks from the crowd and knelt down to pay homage. One could see her fair little face and small earlobes, which were so red that they seemed to bleed.

The Empress Dowager was also shocked that Ye Qingyu actually rejected Xiaowu, a husband that everyone envied, and instead fell in love with Li'er. She was not saying that Li'er was not a good person. When he was the prince, he was naturally a good husband that every lady in the family wanted to marry.

But now, Li'er's legs are crippled, and he will be an idle prince for the rest of his life. He will never have the chance to ascend to the throne. He has become a man avoided by all the ladies in Kyoto. Who would be willing to marry their delicate daughter to a cripple?

The Queen Mother asked uncertainly, "Qingyu, are you saying that the person you love is the King of Chu?"

Ye Qingyu didn't even look up, and said in a muffled voice, "Queen Dowager, it is His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu."

"You, why did you marry Li'er? Don't you know that Li'er's legs will never stand up again in her lifetime?"

This is the question everyone present wants to ask.

Ye Qingyu stood up, her face full of girlish shyness. "Even so, His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu is a great hero. His leg was broken while protecting the people of Daxia. Even so, he is still so kind and generous, and he saved my life."

The Queen Mother saw her expression and knew that she was speaking from the heart. Her smile became even more sincere. "Good child, get up quickly. The ground is cold. Come to me."

A nanny quickly stepped forward and helped Ye Qingyu up.

The Queen Mother took Ye Qingyu's hand and said, "You want me to grant you and Li'er a marriage. This is beyond the control of me and the Emperor. Li'er has to agree to it herself."

The emperor looked at Ye Qingyu with a more friendly look, "Of course not. It's up to him to decide who to marry."

At that time, Shen Yanli asked for the position of Crown Prince Fei and also asked the emperor for permission to marry freely. Both the emperor and the empress dowager agreed to his request.

Therefore, in his previous life, Shen Yanli had never married, and the emperor and the empress dowager had never forced him. The emperor felt guilty about him. He was his most satisfactory candidate for successor, but he lost his legs for the Great Xia Dynasty, and was forced by ministers to lose his position as the crown prince.

Therefore, the emperor would be more tolerant of his requests.

Princess Changning stood up with great tact and said, "Father, Grandmother, I will go get my brother right away."

Princess Changning's face was full of smiles. She finally found a woman that her brother the emperor liked, and the two of them were in love with each other. She couldn't let this sister-in-law run away.
