Reborn, meet you again!

Su Jinyue became more and more anxious when she saw that Helian Qi changed the subject in just a few words. However, this matter concerned the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so she could not act too stubbornly. She had to suppress her anxiety and continue speaking.

"What the prince said is not without reason."

"However, my sister has been naughty since she was young, and I'm afraid she can't handle the important task of being the Crown Princess. If the Crown Prince is truly interested... why not choose someone with both talent and virtue from among the noble ladies of Tianqi?

"Only in this way can we live up to the Crown Prince's kindness in making friends."

Su Jinyue thought she had made her words very clear, but Helian Qi did not even move an inch, but continued to look at her position through the bead curtain with a sharp gaze.

"Your Majesty is too modest. Although Your Majesty is young, he already possesses the majesty of an emperor. The Empress Dowager is also a woman of great splendor. How could the daughter of the Su family be any less?"

"Also, after I arrived in Beijing, I once saw Miss Su from afar. Although it was just a glance, it was a stunning glimpse that I still remember."

"If I could marry Miss Su Er, I would definitely cherish her and never let her down."

"Please grant me your blessing, Queen Mother!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Su Ling'er, who was sitting at the table, turned pale and her hand holding the silk handkerchief trembled slightly.

Marriage to Mobei?

Of course she didn't want to.

Moreover, there is already someone in her heart...

She didn't know whether the stunning glimpse that the Prince of Mobei mentioned was true or not, but on that day, at the coming-of-age ceremony at the Marquis' Mansion, she experienced these four words firsthand.

The eldest sister and mother also said that they strongly agreed with this marriage. The eldest sister also said that the Regent had a very good impression of her. If the Regent had not rashly left the capital, perhaps today would be the day for her to marry him.

At that time, she could also become the bond between the Regent, the eldest sister, and Ye'er.

She knew that she was timid and cowardly and could not help her elder sister, but if she could marry a good husband, she could share the worries of her elder sister, Ye'er.

She has no regrets in her life.

But why suddenly...

As Su Ling'er thought about it, her hands began to tremble more and more uncontrollably. Two drops of wine splashed out of the teacup, leaving dark marks on the hem of her crimson skirt.

Su Jinyue was obviously a little overwhelmed by Helian Qi's bold confession at this time, and could only glance at the ministers in the hall.

"Since the Crown Prince is so sincere, I cannot make a unilateral decision. I wonder what your opinions are on this matter, my dear ministers?"

Then, she glanced at the people sitting below, as if waiting for someone to stand up and object.

However, most of the court officials present had already been instructed by King Huai to remain silent.

The court officials who turned against Song Yi because of the evidence in his hand were wavering because they were hoping for a lucky break as Song Yi's life or death was unknown. Seeing that King Huai and his party were silent, how could they speak rashly?

Therefore, there was only dead silence in the hall.

Su Jinyue became very anxious upon seeing this and couldn't help but hint again.

"If you have any opinions, please feel free to speak frankly."

But the only answer she got was still deathly silence, which made Su Jinyue feel for the first time what it meant to be isolated and helpless.

At this moment, a sudden laugh came from the seats of the Mobei envoys.

Then, an old man in a green robe suddenly pushed away the wine cup and stood up, and the bronze wine jar made a crisp sound when it hit the green jade table.

"Your Majesty, I have sincerely asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to marry me, and my words are earnest and sincere, but Your Majesty keeps making excuses. What is your intention?"

He drew out the tone, his eyes sweeping across the vague figure behind the beaded curtain.

"Could it be that the Queen Mother and your country, as the rumors say, regard our Mobei as barbarians? Is this why you are making all sorts of excuses and are unwilling to marry your own sister?"

The atmosphere at the banquet suddenly became tense because of this sound, and the sound of stringed instruments also stopped abruptly at this moment.

At this moment, Helian Qi hypocritically reached out his hand to stop the old man.

"Teacher, don't be rude!"

"This marriage is not only for the king to marry his beloved, but also to stop the war and seek the welfare of the people of both countries. The Queen Mother can distinguish right from wrong, so how could she look down on us like this?"

"Teacher, please sit down. I believe that the Queen Mother will definitely fulfill my sincere wishes."

How could Su Jinyue not know that Helian Qi and Mobei National Master were working together to put on a show for her.

But she also knew that if she gave in, Ling'er would be doomed, so she could never compromise.

And at this moment, the only person who can save Ling'er from this disaster is herself.

Thinking of this, Su Jinyue's mind was churning. After a moment of silence, an idea finally emerged in her mind.

She knew it was risky, but it had come to that.

She had no other choice.

Su Jinyue tried to calm herself down, and after calming her breathing, she suddenly sighed.

"I understand what the Crown Prince said. Well... Originally, the Regent was away today, and I didn't want to make this matter public in advance. I didn't expect it to cause such a misunderstanding."

"Actually, the reason I couldn't fulfill the Crown Prince's request wasn't because I was intentionally refusing, but rather... my sister was currently discussing a marriage with the Regent."

"How can this girl marry a second time? Therefore, I can only thank the Crown Prince on Ling'er's behalf for his kindness."

When Su Ling'er heard her elder sister's words, her clenched fingers relaxed a little.

But there was some hesitation in her eyes.

Didn't my eldest sister say that she hadn't had time to mention this matter to the prince yet? So...

Will it be bad?

But she also had some secret joy in her heart, because although her elder sister had to use the regent as a shield because of the aggressiveness of the people from Mobei.

It does not mean ignoring his wishes and acting on one's own will.

he……

I think I can understand...

She knew that it was rumored that the Prince Regent had taken a fancy to the merchant's daughter, but as long as she was generous enough and took the initiative to take Miss Jiang into her family after they got married, as a way of making up for it, he would probably be satisfied.

As my mother said, she is not intolerant. As long as Miss Jiang Jin behaves herself, she will not make things difficult for her and will get along well with her.

When Su Ling'er's thoughts reached this point, Helian Qi's voice rang out again.

At this moment, he didn't know whether it was because he heard Jun Jiuchen's name, but he showed some dissatisfaction, and looked at Su Jinyue's position with narrowed eyes.

"Oh? The Regent?"

"I'm an old acquaintance of the Prince Regent. I've been in the capital for a few days now, and while I haven't seen him in person to reminisce about the past, I've heard that he's currently quite close to a girl named Jiang... but he has nothing to do with Miss Su."

"Could it be that the Queen Mother is using the Regent as a cover to appease me?"
