Reborn, the daughter of the Marquisate went crazy

After the second prince excitedly announced the name of his sweetheart, he began to grin and laugh. His eyebrows were curved, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. His heart was filled with joy, and he wanted to tell the world how happy and joyful he was at that moment.

But Queen Meng was struck by lightning. She stood up suddenly, her eyes widened in disbelief, and screamed, "What?!"

Her voice was high-pitched and sharp, and she was extremely anxious. That bitch's fate was in conflict with Zhou'er's, and she was the unlucky star in Zhou'er's life. How could Zhou'er like her?

The Second Prince had no idea why Queen Meng had lost her composure. He asked excitedly, "Mother, have you also heard of Miss Xie? She has only been back in Shengjing City for a short time."

Queen Meng couldn't help but sneer in her heart. She had not only heard about it, but now Xie Qingli had become her number one concern. In order to get rid of Xie Qingli, she had tried her best, but she had lost the assassins she had secretly raised for many years!

The Second Prince quickly walked over to Empress Meng, grasped her arm and shook it, saying affectionately, "Mother, please tell me when you first heard of Miss Xie. How could I not have known her? If I hadn't met her today at Aunt's chrysanthemum viewing banquet, I'm afraid I would have missed her in my lifetime."

Queen Meng patted her chest, calming herself down a bit before slowly sitting back on the phoenix couch. She said calmly, "The Jiang family's lotus viewing banquet caused a sensation in Shengjing City. It's hard for my mother not to know about it."

"However, Queen Mother heard that although Miss Xie is quite good-looking, she grew up in the countryside, is illiterate, and is quite uncouth. My son, don't be fooled by her appearance. She is not someone who can connect with my heart and soul, and is definitely not a good match for me!"

The Second Prince shook his head vigorously and said hurriedly, "No, Mother, what you heard is all just rumors! The Miss Xie I have seen is not only eloquent and talented, but also of high moral character. The noble ladies in the capital can hardly match her!"

Zhou'er was completely captivated by Xie Qingli after just one meeting. Queen Meng couldn't help but frown. It seemed that she had to urge the Imperial Master to get rid of this evil star Xie Qingli as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!

The Second Prince saw Queen Meng's sullen expression and the rage boiling in her eyes. He couldn't help but hold his breath and knelt before her with a plop. He solemnly said, "Mother, I admire Miss Xie. I would like to ask the Emperor to issue an order to appoint Miss Xie as my consort. I hope your Majesty will grant this wish!"

Queen Meng's rage soared. She slammed the table and shouted angrily, "How dare you! There's no chance of your ever happening in this lifetime. Give up on this idea as soon as possible!"

Since he was a child, Queen Meng has always doted on the Second Prince and granted his every request. When has she ever spoken to him in such a harsh way?

The Second Prince stared at Queen Meng in shock. After a moment's silence, he suddenly asked angrily, "Why? Queen Mother, why are you trying to stop me?"

Queen Meng looked at the Second Prince with complicated eyes. The Second Prince was originally a well-behaved and filial child. She didn't expect that he would yell at her for Xie Qingli!

Her face was gloomy, and she suppressed her anger and said, "It's not that my mother is stopping you, but Xie Qingli is a member of the Xie family, but she is also a member of the Jiang family. Jiang family members will not marry into the royal family. This has been the case since the founding of the Dongling Dynasty!"

The Second Prince swayed and remained silent for a moment. He looked at Queen Meng with hope and said, "Your Highness, I will go and ask General Jiang. I will treat Miss Xie well. I only want her in my life and will never take a concubine!"

Queen Meng sneered as if she had just heard a ridiculous joke. "I heard that Xie Jingyuan made the same promise to Jiang Zhong when he first proposed to marry Jiang Muxue. Do you think he would be tricked into giving his granddaughter away with the same words?"

The light in the Second Prince's eyes gradually disappeared, and his chest felt a little stuffy and he couldn't breathe. For the first time in his more than ten years of life, he longed for something so much, but he couldn't get it. He finally felt the heart-wrenching despair.

Queen Meng reached out and stroked the Second Prince's head, saying softly, "Zhou'er, don't be sad! There are so many unmarried women in Shengjing. Your Majesty will definitely choose a consort that suits Zhou'er perfectly. Her family background, appearance, and talent will definitely surpass Xie Qingli in every way..."

"No!" The Second Prince's eyes were red as he angrily interrupted Queen Meng and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Except Xie Qingli, I don't want anyone else. If I can't marry her, I'd rather never marry again!"

Queen Meng was so angry that her face turned ashen. She clenched her hands tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms. She wished she could cut Xie Qingli into pieces immediately!

After the Second Prince roared, a deep feeling of powerlessness swept over his body. He sat down on the ground and buried his head in his knees, trying to dispel the chaotic emotions in his mind.

Suddenly, an idea came into his mind. He closed his eyes, then suddenly raised his head and whispered, "Mother, I want the throne. Please help me!"

Queen Meng was startled. She looked at the Second Prince in disbelief and asked in a trembling voice, "What did Zhou'er just say he wanted?"

The Second Prince's gaze grew increasingly resolute, and he said in a deep voice, "This son desires to ascend the throne. In the past, my mother always told me that if I became emperor, the entire Dongling Mausoleum would belong to me, and I could do whatever I wanted. But at that time, I didn't have anything I wanted. However, now I have it!"

He looked intently at Queen Meng and asked in a cold voice, "Is what my mother said true? If I become the emperor, can I issue an order to force Jiang Zhong to marry Xie Qingli to me? If Jiang Zhong disobeys, can I kill him?"

Queen Meng nodded quickly and said excitedly, "Yes, yes, of course! When Zhou'er becomes the emperor and holds great power, he will experience the taste of power. At that time, Zhou'er can do whatever he wants."

Queen Meng was ecstatic. Over the years, everyone believed that the Second Prince was wasting his time on pleasure and unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility. Even the Meng family had recently begun to persuade her to give up the Second Prince and support the Third Prince. Just when she was struggling and was about to give up, Zhou'er actually figured it out!

Her eyes were slightly moist as she spoke softly, "But before ascending the throne, Zhou'er must diligently learn the ways of ruling, win over the court officials, and learn how to handle government affairs, striving to achieve something. As for the rest, I, the Queen Mother, and the Meng family will take care of everything else for Zhou'er!"

The Second Prince nodded obediently and said softly, "Thank you, Mother!"

Queen Meng thought of Xie Qingli, her eyes dimmed slightly. It seemed that she needed to keep Xie Qingli for the time being!

She held the Second Prince's hand and whispered, "But the matter between Zhou'er and Miss Xie must not be mentioned again, and you must not ask your father for permission. When the great cause is about to be accomplished, your affairs will naturally fall into place. If you rush now, you will only make things worse!"

The Second Prince held Empress Meng's hand and chuckled, "Don't worry, Mother. I naturally understand these principles. Tomorrow I will not go to the Music Bureau. I will ask Father for a proper job."

Queen Meng smiled contentedly, patted the Second Prince on the shoulder, and sighed, "Mother has waited so long for you, and Zhou'er has finally grown up..."
