The queen suddenly looked at Princess Wuyang, her eyes dark and full of anger.
However, Princess Wuyang was obviously not afraid of such a look. She was born in Princess Pingle's Mansion and was born to be a noble princess. The emperor loved her, her mother loved her, and her brother loved her. It can be said that she was doted on by three thousand people. She was very fond of the queen.
Naturally, she is not as awed as other noble ladies.
Furthermore, the little girl who has been practicing martial arts since she was a child also has a certain upright spirit in her heart. She is disdainful of the empress and Situ Wan's blatant calculations, so she naturally dares to tell the truth at this time.
"Stop arguing." Emperor Wu waved his hand tiredly, "It is indeed a pity that Miss Situ San died, but since she insulted the Crown Princess first, she deserves it."
The queen's face turned pale: "Your Majesty?"
Situ Wan was startled and clutched the veil tightly.
"I remember this eldest daughter of the Situ family..." Emperor Wu's eyes fell on Situ Wan's face, his eyes darkened, "She is already seventeen years old?"
Situ Wantou suddenly had an ominous premonition, lowered his head and replied: "My daughter is not yet seventeen."
"No matter what, it's time to betrothed to a man of your choosing." Emperor Wu put his forehead with one hand, as if thinking about a suitable candidate, "Yuan Hai, please pass on my decree to marry Situ Wan to the son of the great general Wang."
Yuan Hai was taken aback for a moment, then asked in confirmation: "Your Majesty?"
"Um?"
"You're talking about the son of General Wang... Huangfu Lingfeng?"
Emperor Wu nodded slowly: "The General King has a distinguished status, and his son is a talented person. He is a good match among people. He is a good match for Miss Situ."
The queen's expression changed: "Your Majesty..."
"No need to say more." Emperor Wu raised his hand to stop him, with a somewhat impatient look on his face, "No matter how good the prince's palace is, the position of concubine cannot be compared to that of the concubine in the palace of the general. Besides, Huangfu Lingfeng's family background is so good, he has not wronged you.
This niece."
The queen gritted her teeth, no matter how good Huangfu Lingfeng was, he was still a minister, how could he compare to the prince who would rule the world in the future?
If you become the wife of Huangfu Lingfeng, you will never be able to enter the palace again. You will be a member of the courtier's family for the rest of your life. But if you become the crown prince's concubine, you can at least be named a noble concubine in the future, and you can even fight Yun Zishu and become the queen.
It's entirely possible.
Or even if you can't become a queen, you might be able to be established as a crown prince after you give birth to a prince, right?
The queen's expression was extremely ugly. The emperor had completely given up on any thought of a Situ woman becoming queen again.
Yuan Haizhan accepted the decree tremblingly, and couldn't help but think about Huangfu Lingfeng's reaction after hearing the marriage decree.
Will that rebellious and rebellious young man who has eyes higher than his head obediently accept the imperial decree to marry?
"I'm tired." Emperor Wu signaled, "Yuan Hai, draft the decree as soon as possible, and choose a good and auspicious day to get married."
After saying that, the guard picked up the chariot and turned to leave.
"My slave obeys the order." Yuan Hai bowed and accepted the order.
However, the moment he lowered his head, he couldn't help but frown, thinking that this decree was a hot potato.
I'm afraid that the legitimate son of General Wang will be able to curse people... no, he's just afraid that he'll be able to hit people, right?
Everyone sent him off respectfully, and the whole place was silent.
Huangfu Chuchu raised his head slightly and watched the chariot go further and further away. After a moment, he turned his head and glanced at Situ Wan.
Granting marriage to her eldest brother?
Tsk.
The emperor was really thinking about it, and he didn't know whether he was sincere in granting the marriage, or whether he knew that her elder brother's temper would make it impossible for him to accept the marriage.
The peony garden was quiet and stagnant. The queen's face was extremely ugly. She stared at the direction where Luan Jia left for a moment. She closed her eyes gently, her anger, resentment and unwillingness fermenting little by little.
In front of so many people, the emperor didn't give her any face. Did he still regard her as a queen in his heart?
Before Sicang came back, no one had ever dared to offend her, the mother of a country. After Sicang came back, he first brought back Yun Zishu, who had no respect for her elders and didn't know what respect was. Now, even Huangfu Chuchu and Princess Wuyang were in trouble.
Dare to be presumptuous in front of her!
"Shall we go back first?" Si Cang looked at Yun Zishu and asked warmly, "There is no need to stay here anymore."
Yun Zishu turned her head and glanced at the noble ladies, frowning slightly: "But I didn't even recognize them."
"You'll get to know me slowly in the future, don't be in a hurry." Sicang said calmly, "You can invite a few people to the Prince's Mansion for tea tomorrow."
Yun Zishu hummed: "Then let Princess Wuyang go, as well as Miss Chu Chu and Miss Fu."
The queen turned to look at her, her eyes sharp and cold.
Yun Zishu turned a blind eye to her eyes and looked directly at the noble girl in the garden who could not name her: "Tomorrow the Imperial Palace will hold a banquet at the Prince's Mansion. If any of you ladies want to be a guest at the Prince's Mansion, you can send someone to send a message in advance tonight.
, or you can just take the car there tomorrow morning. I will take care of things in advance. The prince and I have other things to attend to, so we will say goodbye for now."
Huangfu Chuchu said: "It just so happens that I stay at home and have nothing to do."
"Why do you have nothing to do?" Princess Wuyang raised her eyebrows, "You should prepare with your elder brother to receive the imperial edict of marriage."
Huangfu Chuchu curled his lips: "The person who was given the marriage is my eldest brother, not me. What does it have to do with me?"
There was a hint of interest in Yun Zishu's eyes.
She could see that the status of several big families in Dongyou was indeed prominent. Of course, the status of the royal family was even more supreme. So much so that Princess Wuyang, the daughter of the eldest princess, was not afraid of the queen, and the daughters of Fu Nanxi and General Wang were not at all in awe in front of the queen.
It's no use having any intention.
It can be seen from this that the status of the Situ family is not high, and the queen who was born in the Situ family is not so noble that people dare not be presumptuous.
Dongyou is a place where people are convinced by their ability, and the status gained through nepotism does not seem to be respected by others.
"You can play by yourself, the prince and I will go back first." Yun Zishu smiled lightly, "Don't forget to go to the prince's mansion tomorrow."
Huangfu Chuchu quickly said: "The Crown Princess extended her warm invitation, and I will never forget it."
"It's a pity that my sister is weak, otherwise I would take her with me." Princess Wuyang smiled lightly, "I haven't met anyone I want to make friends with for a long time. The Crown Princess has a transparent and open-minded temperament, a broad mind, and extraordinary courage.
I just like getting along with women like the Crown Princess."
Are you open-minded and broad-minded?
The expressions of the noble ladies were all different. Regardless of whether the Crown Princess's temperament was truly open-minded or not, Princess Wuyang's compliments were like a slap in the Queen's face, right?
After all, both the Queen and her niece believed that the Crown Princess was narrow-minded and disrespectful, and was not worthy of being the Crown Princess of Dongyou.
However, this thought flashed through their minds, and the ladies' hearts suddenly trembled.
Nowadays, the changes in the court situation were beyond their expectation. Situ Wan could not become the crown princess, and the queen repeatedly failed to stand up in front of the crown princess. Normally, a daughter-in-law who was not liked by the queen would be abandoned sooner or later.
But Yun Zishu's situation is obviously different.
The prince is devoted to her, and the emperor protects her intentionally or unintentionally... Should they think carefully about how to get along with the prince in the future?
