Ruojun sat there in a daze, motionless. Hearing Meng Zihan's words, he nodded dreamily. It seemed that Dian Chen had hurt her deeply!
"Queen mother, why don't you give him another chance?" Meng Zihan couldn't help but seemed to be undecided, looking at the Queen Mother faintly.
"Why don't we just invite him here and ask him what he means? In this way, the emperor and the queen mother can easily make a conclusion." At this time, the nosy Concubine Zhen suddenly interjected.
"Look at the Ai family, just follow Concubine Zhen's wishes!" The Queen Mother's majestic voice slowly sounded, and she sent a young eunuch to invite Yan Chen over.
I looked at this formation and felt uneasy. If Yanchen didn't agree, what would Meng Zihan do to him?! Yanchen, Yanchen, please don't talk nonsense...
"Yan'er, why do you look so bad?" Meng Zihan held my hand at some point and looked at me worriedly with his dark eyes.
"It's nothing. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night." I gave a random reason, but I caught a glimpse of Concubine Zhen's jealous eyes drifting towards me.
At this moment, Ji Chen was led in. I watched him gradually walk towards me from far away, my heart was beating fast.
When Yan Chen walked by me, he glanced at me slightly, then immediately knelt down half-kneeling, bowed respectfully, and stopped when his eyes touched Ruojun.
"Prince, are you getting used to living in the palace?" The Queen Mother put on an amiable smile, seemingly caring.
"Thanks to the Queen Mother's concern, how dare Yu Zhao be picky. Everything is fine." Yan Chen replied very politely and stood up slowly.
"Yu Zhao, the Ai family regards you as one of their own, so they won't beat around the bush. What do you think of Ruojun?" The Queen Mother asked with a smile on her face, pointing to Ruojun beside her.
"The princess looks like a fairy, is innocent, kind, lively and lovely, and is a rare and good woman." Yan Chen lowered his head and looked down at the ground.
"Yuzhao, in this case. What do you think of the Ai family making a decision for you and betrothing Ruojun to you?" A tentative smile appeared on the Queen Mother's kind face, and her pair of cloudy eyes were sharp.
is projected below.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Queen Mother deliberately wants his answer, and by using this method, she just wants to hear his thoughts.
I looked at Qian Chen standing in the center of the hall with great nervousness, praying in my heart that he would not say anything shocking!
Qian Chen was startled, his face stiffened for a moment, and then he immediately came back to his senses, bent down and said with a sincere smile: "Yu Zhao is afraid that he won't be able to reach the level of the princess."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother's hypocritical old face suddenly froze, Meng Zihan's handsome face slowly turned livid, and there was a vague anger slowly rising in his pair of deep eyes.
Likewise, I was shocked, why is this guy so stupid! Doesn't he know that not only will this harm himself, but it will also put the country in a more difficult situation?! Sometimes, I really don't know what to say about him!
At this moment, there was silence all around, Ruojun's expectant face was completely desperate, big tears fell from her pink cheeks, and the sobs she tried to hold back made her look even more distressed and unbearable.
"Are you saying that my princess is not good enough for you?" Concubine Zhen, who loves to sow discord, suddenly broke the silence and said harshly, with a pair of beautiful eyes flashing.
Qian Chen raised his eyebrows, his handsome eyes were smiling, he turned sideways to face Concubine Zhen, and said slowly: "Yu Zhao didn't mean that. Yu Zhao is just a prince from a small country, how can he be worthy of the majestic Princess of Chu Yu Country?"
Well, I'm afraid that the empress thinks too highly of Xiao Wang!"
After hearing this, Meng Zihan's face darkened for a moment, and his handsome brows knitted together. It was obvious that he had completely misunderstood what Yan Chen meant. He probably meant that Yan Chen was mocking Ruojun!
I stood next to Meng Zihan, very nervous for a moment, for fear that he would deal with Yan Chen, so I quietly held Meng Zihan's hand and said jokingly: "I think Ruojun is tired too, we can still deal with the question of whether we are worthy of each other later."
Let's discuss it later, let this girl go back and rest first." After saying that, he glanced at Yan Chen suggestively.
"Oh, the queen sister is still considerate. It's not like my sister who has a sharp mouth and can't say anything flattering." Concubine Zhen didn't know why, but she suddenly said this, her beautiful eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Stare at me.
"Really?" I asked lightly, my eyes drifting to the Queen Mother above.
"Sister, do you want to make the princess happy? Or are you speaking for the Jade King's prince?" Concubine Zhen seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and deliberately found fault with me.
"What do you mean?" I felt a little embarrassed when someone told me what I was thinking. I immediately raised my voice to cover up my guilty conscience.
"Sister, I understand." Concubine Zhen glanced at me sideways, speaking to me so airily for the first time.
"Okay, Concubine Zhen, please stop making unreasonable troubles." Meng Zihan looked sullen and gave her a symbolic look.
"I am not making trouble unreasonably. This morning, I saw the queen sister and Prince Jade talking about something in the imperial garden. Maybe they were also talking about this matter." Concubine Zhen looked at me angrily and shouted confidently.
I was suddenly shocked. I asked why she was so aggressive today. It turned out that she had caught me! However, I didn't see her in the morning. Could it be that she sent someone to monitor me?!
I looked at Meng Zihan next to me again. His face was very ugly, turning green and white. The hand he held mine shook slightly. Damn it, he didn't suspect that I was ruining Yan Chen and Ruojun's marriage, right?!
"I told the queen to go talk to Prince Jade about something. Do I need to ask for your permission before doing this?" Meng Zihan had a gloomy face, his eyes were faintly gleaming with fire, and his voice was as cold as iron.
Concubine Zhen was stunned. She couldn't help but shudder when Meng Zihan's sharp eyes stared at her. She even spoke with a hint of fear: "I don't dare."
"I advise you to be more virtuous when you have nothing to do. Ask what you should ask, and swallow what you shouldn't ask, so as not to regret it later!" Mencius looked at her coldly, his face as cold as frost, and there was no trace in his words.
temperature.
"Mother, what Yan'er said makes sense. Let's discuss the marriage later." Meng Zihan thought of his deep voice, glanced at me, and then strode out.
I cast a self-seeking look at Yan Chen, saluted hurriedly, followed Meng Zihan and walked out.
"Don't walk so fast?!" I ran after Meng Zihan panting, grabbed one of his arms, and yelled.
Meng Zihan didn't even look at me. He walked towards my bedroom without saying a word and with a straight face.
"You all go down." I took the initiative to reject Xi'er and the others. Looking at his expression, I knew what he was going to do next.
"Ask, don't hold it back..." I gave him a funny look, poured a cup of tea and put it in his hand.
Meng Zihan raised his head, put the tea aside, suddenly grabbed my arm, put it in his arms, and whispered softly in my ear: "Yan'er, I believe you. No need to explain." After that, Then he rubbed his mouth and rubbed my neck, and the sharp stubble pricked my neck.
I turned around and looked straight into his tender eyes with two bright eyes, and there was a slight wave in my heart.
So, I hooked my hands around his neck, smiled and placed a shallow kiss on his lips like a dragonfly on the water, and whispered in his ear: "Thank you."
"Silly girl, what are you thanking for?! I am your support in the palace. If I don't believe in you, who else can believe in you?!" Meng Zihan put his arms around my waist, and his gentle voice was intoxicating.
"Meng Zihan, you make people don't even know what to say." Tears of emotion filled my eyes. I clasped my hands tighter and opened my red lips lightly, but I didn't know what to say!
"If you don't know what to say, stop talking!" Meng Zihan nodded my nose and held me in his arms lovingly.
