After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 231 Double Whammy
Qin Yue'er's heart sank when she saw that the emperor agreed to Xiao Yanzhao's request, but her father Qin Guogong didn't say a word.

Does she really want to marry Xiao Yanzhao?
No, she doesn't want to marry Xiao Yanzhao or go to Canglang Country.

After thinking about it, she looked at Duke Qin with tears in her eyes and said, "Dad, I don't..."

However, before she could say anything, Chu Ye suddenly spoke: "Li Shangshu, your etiquette department is fully responsible for the marriage between the prince and Miss Qin. All etiquette should be in accordance with the princess's wedding specifications."

Mr. Li, the Minister of Rites, stood up quickly and said respectfully: "I obey the order."

Qin Yue'er's vision went dark and she almost fainted.

Qin Guogong finally turned his eyes to her, "What do you want to say?"

Qin Yue'er's tears finally flowed down and soaked her face.

What did she want to say?
What else could she say now?
She originally expected her father to help her refuse, but he turned out to be indifferent and showed no intention of helping her throughout the whole process.

Is she really his daughter?

If so, why doesn't he feel sorry for her at all?

Under the double blow, Qin Yue'er's tears flowed more and faster.

"Why are Miss Qin crying?" At this time, Xiao Yanzhao suddenly said.

Qin Yue'er was startled and realized that the other party had been looking at her.

That half-smiling look made her extremely humiliated.

She didn't understand, there were so many noble ladies in the place, why did this bullshit prince fall in love with her?
She didn't want to be the emperor's concubine, so how could she be willing to marry to the Canglang Kingdom and become a prince's concubine?
She suppressed the resentment in her heart and slowly wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief.

Xiao Yanzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes unkind, "Is Miss Qin glaring at me?"

Qin Yue'er was stunned and lowered her eyes.

"Haha, I like girls with Miss Qin's temperament." Xiao Yanzhao suddenly laughed, "Miss Qin is really interesting!"

Hearing this, other people agreed, "The prince has really good taste. Miss Qin is the most noble daughter in our country. She is extremely beautiful, gentle and intelligent. She and the prince are a perfect match."

People who usually looked down on Qin Yue'er were now spewing out their kind words as if they were free of charge.

Qin Yue'er is the savior of all their noble ladies.

If it weren't for her, it might be them who would marry into the Canglang Kingdom.

Can they not flatter Qin Yue'er properly?

Qin Yue'er's face was ashen, how could she not know what these people were thinking?

But the emperor's decree was given, and no matter how angry she was, no matter how unwilling she was, she couldn't get it back.

Qin Yue'er was so angry that she shed tears again.

Li Shangshu saw it and said with a smile: "Miss Qin is crying with joy."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yanzhao glanced at Qin Yue'er, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Qin Yue'er should really cry with joy.

After all, among all the noble girls in the room, it was her blessing that he could fall in love with her over several lifetimes.

Qin Yue'er froze hard, not daring to shed any more tears.

Mrs. Qin's face was extremely ugly, but there was nothing she could do.

The mother and daughter were resentful, but Qiao Jingjing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, she was deeply surprised.

Who would have thought that the prince of Canglang Kingdom would actually fall in love with Qin Yue'er?
She thought that after today, Qin Yue'er might be attracted by the Queen Mother and pointed to the Emperor as a concubine.

I really didn’t expect it.

After the palace banquet, the officials and their female relatives left the imperial garden in an orderly manner.

Lu Xingzhi helped Qiao Jingjing stand up, and when he was about to leave, Eunuch Zhao suddenly came over and said, "Duke Qin, Mr. Lu, and Shaoqing Xiahou, the emperor invites you to go to the imperial study."

The three of them looked at each other and roughly knew what the emperor wanted.

"I'll be there later." Lu Xing knew.

Eunuch Zhao nodded and led Duke Qin and Xia Houxi away first.

After they left, Qiao Jingjing looked at Lu Xingzhi in confusion, "What does the emperor want from you?"

"It should be related to Prince Qin and the eldest princess." Lu Xingzhi said warmly, "You go back first." "Okay." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

After Lu Xingzhi left, she took Lu Mu and others out of the imperial garden.

But just after leaving the imperial garden, several people were blocked by someone, "Everyone, stay."

Qiao Jingjing looked at the person blocking their way in surprise.

The person who came was probably in his early forties, tall and powerful. He was the man she noticed sitting next to the noble lady before the palace banquet began.

While Qiao Jingjing was thinking about it, she saw the man looking at Mother Lu as if no one else was there, and slowly said, "Xiao Zhu, long time no see."

Mother Lu's face turned pale, she tightened her handkerchief and lowered her head.

Seeing this, Father Lu's heart sank. He pulled her behind him, then looked at the man and said, "Your Excellency, you have admitted the wrong person. My wife's name is not Xiaozhu."

The man was stunned for a moment, turned his gaze to him, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you Lu Xingzhi's father?"

"It's not just me." Father Lu was neither humble nor arrogant.

The other person was born tall and tall, but he was not bad either, his body was straight and tall.

The two argued silently for a moment, and then the man broke the silence, "Madam is an old acquaintance of mine. Could you please make it easier for me to have a few words with him alone?"

"It's inconvenient." Father Lu refused with an ugly expression.

Even if the other party and Mother Lu were old acquaintances, there were differences between men and women, so how could this person make such a request? It's really unreasonable.

Besides, Mother Lu made it clear that she didn't want to talk to him, so Father Lu was naturally even less likely to agree.

When the man saw his refusal, he frowned, but seeing that Mother Lu had been avoiding him, he finally gave up.

But before leaving, he looked deeply at Father Lu and said, "Boyu and Xiaozhu have known each other since childhood. You can ask Mrs. Ling when you go back."

After saying that, he walked straight away.

Father Lu looked extremely ugly.

In fact, he didn't need the man to tell him, but he also realized that Mother Lu did know the man.

But the man still wanted to add that sentence, which was obviously intentional.

Father Lu felt uncomfortable.

Qiao Jingjing and Lu Shuang looked at each other in shock.

They have recognized that the man named Duan Boyu just now is the man they met in Zuixian Tower before.

It's just different from the last time. Duan Boyu is obviously much calmer this time, not as excited as he was in Zuixian Tower last time.

It seems that Duan Boyu really knows Mother Lu.

But why didn't Mother Lu dare to recognize him? Why should we avoid it instead?

Qiao Jingjing was puzzled.

Lu Shuangshuang asked directly: "Mom, do you know that person?"

Mother Lu suppressed the confusion in her heart and shook her head, "I don't know."

But even if she denied it, both Qiao Jingjing and Lu Shuangshuang were sure that they knew each other.

I just don’t understand why Mother Lu would deny it.

"But..." Lu Shuangshuang wanted to say something more, but Qiao Jingjing stopped her, "Okay, let's talk after we leave the palace."

Only then did Lu Shuangshuang stop talking.

After Duan Boyu left, Father Lu seemed very silent.

After leaving the palace and getting on the carriage, he didn't speak.

Mother Lu noticed something strange about him and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Qiao Jingjing saw the two people's reactions in her eyes.

But this was a matter between elders, and she didn't have much to say.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the Imperial Study Room seemed a bit solemn.

"What is going on?" Chu Ye glanced at the three courtiers standing below and asked in a deep voice.
