The eldest daughter, she is proud and sassy

Chapter 449 A marriage that fell from the sky

The next day, the imperial decree was delivered to Gao Taiwei's mansion. Gao Taiwei was a little surprised at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he knew that the regent was behind it.

He accepted the imperial decree, sent away the servant who delivered the decree, and then went to the Prince Regent's Mansion with a heavy gift in person.

Cui Quan was surprised when the news spread to all the prefectures in the capital, and asked his wife why she had changed the candidate.

The incident happened so suddenly that there was no news from the palace, so Mrs. Cui went to the palace again in person.

"Ugh--"

The Queen Mother sighed deeply: "Man is not as good as God, then Wu Chan has a hidden disease."

After listening to the Queen Mother's words, Mrs. Cui didn't know what to say, so she told Cui Quan the whole story after she went back.

"The imperial decree has been issued. It is futile to do anything at this time. It is better to wait and see." Cui Quan comforted his wife.

Mrs. Cui showed a helpless expression: "That's the only way to go."

After the empress was selected, those little ladies in the Cui Mansion gritted their teeth with hatred for the position of empress, but there was nothing they could do.

And the unmarried ladies in other houses of the capital also gave up their previous idea of ​​pursuing a later position.

Cui Hengyue breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and planned to leave the palace and return home in two days.

The emperor specially went to have dinner with the queen mother that night.

After dinner, the emperor seemed to remind the queen mother unintentionally: "Mother, now that the candidate for the queen has been decided, shouldn't it be time to consider Cui Yuanniang?"

The queen mother was very happy that her son seldom accompanied her to eat, but when she heard this sentence, the queen mother's bright mood suddenly became gloomy.

But the Queen Mother didn't show it, she still had a smile on her face: "Don't worry, I won't break my promise to you."

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help being happy.

However, at the next moment, the mother's words froze the smile on his face, "However, just after the queen was canonized, the Cui family's girl canonized as a concubine will cause Cui's family to be criticized, and it is not good for you."

"Mother wants to repent?" the emperor asked.

"Of course not." The queen mother quickly explained: "I promised you, why have I ever regretted it? Even if it is a few days later, it is good for you and Cui."

The emperor thought about it, and his mother did not break her promise to him, so she was relieved.

Two days later, Cui Hengyue finally came out of the side hall and walked along the veranda.

"Yuanniang, your complexion is much better today." Orange Hong followed suit and said with a smile.

"Really? Then it looks like I should leave the palace." Cui Hengyue walked towards the main hall while speaking.

Ju Hong was stunned, she wasn't urging Yuan Niang to leave the palace.

Shui Rong gently pushed her: "Don't think too much, Yuan Niang was planning to leave the palace."

"Miss Cui—"

Suddenly, someone stopped Cui Hengyue, and when she looked up, it was Chen Linshen, the king of Changshan County.

Everyone hurriedly saluted: "I have seen the king of Changshan County."

Cui Hengyue showed a friendly smile, "Did the king come to see His Majesty? Then I'll come back later."

"You hate me so much? You want to leave when you see me?" Chen Linshen rushed to Cui Hengyue and stared at her.

Cui Hengyue was confused, but quickly realized what he was talking about, and explained: "No, what I mean is that the county king's visit to His Majesty must be an official business, and it should be dealt with first.

"I can talk to His Majesty about this little matter later."

Chen Linshen's expression softened slightly: "What are you looking for Your Majesty?"

"Oh, it's like this, my injury is almost healed, and I'm going to say goodbye to His Majesty."

Before Cui Hengyue finished speaking, Chen Linshen's complexion became ugly again: "I'm in such a hurry to leave the palace, are you going to meet Song Zhuoxing?"

"."

Cui Hengyue didn't understand why Chen Linshen thought so, nor why he spoke in a strange way today, but felt very uncomfortable.

Her face darkened: "What does the king of the county mean by this?"

Still don't admit it?

Chen Linshen became furious, and grabbed Cui Hengyue's arm: "Song Zhuoxing is your fiancé, you are in a hurry to leave the palace not to meet him, do you want to see someone else?"

He didn't believe that Cui Hengyue's rush to leave the palace was to return to the mansion to meet his family. In Cui Hengyue's eyes, the people in Cui's mansion were not important at all.

Cui Hengyue was surprised: "When did Song Zhuoxing become my fiancé?"

Is Prince Changshan crazy?Why are you talking crazy today?

Chen Linshen felt that he was going crazy, especially when he saw Cui Hengyue pretending to be stupid, the anger in his heart was about to burst out, burning everything.

"Early this morning, Mrs. Minister of the Ministry of Rites went to Duke Jing's mansion to make an appointment with Mrs. Jingguo for her nephew and you. At this time, the ceremony has been completed, and Song Zhuoxing has become your fiancé."

Cui Hengyue felt as if she was being shocked by an electric shock, her mind went blank.

She just lived in the palace for a few days, but unexpectedly, she got an extra marriage out of thin air. What's going on?

Why did grandfather and grandmother betroth her to Song Zhuoxing?
"presumptuous!"

At some point, the emperor appeared beside Cui Hengyue, grabbed Chen Linshen's wrist and slowly exerted force, forcing him to let go of Cui Hengyue's hand.

"His Majesty."

Facing the emperor's furious eyes, Chen Linshen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that those rumors are true, that His Majesty really has a crush on Cui Hengyue?
He hastily let go: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude."

The emperor shook his hand away fiercely, and then gave him a fierce look: "What did you just say, say it again."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude." Chen Linshen repeated.

The emperor was furious: "It's not this sentence."

Chen Linshen was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites went to Duke Jing's mansion early this morning, and made an appointment with Mrs. Jingguo for her nephew and Cui Yuanniang. .”

"Is this true?"

"Exactly!"

After hearing this, the emperor left in anger.

At this moment, Chen Linshen came to his senses and stared at Cui Hengyue closely: "You don't know about this?"

"I don't know." Cui Hengyue replied.

"I really don't know?" Chen Linshen repeatedly confirmed.

Cui Hengyue was a little annoyed: "Believe it or not, you are the first person to tell me about this."

After speaking, she turned and left.

Chen Linshen quickly chased after him: "Then are you willing to marry Song Zhuoxing? If you don't want to, I will find a way to help you divorce."

Cui Hengyue stopped, and slowly met his gaze: "This is my business, don't bother the king."

After the words fell, he entered the side hall without looking back.

"Jun Wang—" Song Mu called out cautiously.

Chen Linshen clenched his fists tightly, his face was full of anger, he turned and left.

"Jun Wang, haven't you seen Your Majesty?" Song Mu hurriedly chased after him.

"not see."

Chen Linshen left the palace angrily, and the emperor entered the Queen Mother's palace angrily.

"Mother, your words don't count."

Seeing the anger on her son's face, the Empress Dowager knew that things were going well, and while showing a puzzled expression, she asked, "Why did the emperor say such a thing?"

"Early this morning, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites went to Duke Jing's mansion to make an appointment for her nephew and Cui Yuanniang. Cui Yuanniang can't enter the palace anymore. Your words don't count." When the emperor said this, he was about to explode.

The queen mother made a surprised expression: "How could this happen? Who arranged the marriage for Yuan Niang?"

"It's my grandmother." The emperor's tone revealed a hint of sadness.

The Queen Mother first made a shocked expression, and then said helplessly: "It's your grandmother, no wonder no one notified me in advance.

"Emperor, I originally planned to let you give an order to the Cui Mansion today to make Yuanniang a concubine. I even thought about the title."

As she said that, she took the red paper on the case and pointed to the words on it to show the emperor: "Look, this is the title I chose for Yuan Niang."

The emperor looked down and saw that the word "Wan" on the red paper was beautiful and refined, which was exactly the handwriting of his mother.

The grief in his heart dissipated in an instant, replaced by guilt: "Mother, I blamed you, but"

The emperor was very unwilling: "Why did my grandmother suddenly betroth Cui Yuanniang? Why didn't you tell me?"

The Empress Dowager suppressed her inner excitement, and when comforting the Emperor, she did not forget to express her regret: "My son, Yuan Niang is already old enough to be engaged long ago, and you cannot blame your grandmother for this matter.

"Besides, she doesn't know what you're thinking, if she knew, she definitely wouldn't have married Yuan Niang so early.

"Yuan Niang can't be my daughter-in-law, I also feel sorry, but the matter has come to this point, and I have nothing to do."
