Chapter 196 Willing
"Sister-in-law, my brother hasn't said he wants to marry Yong'an off yet."
Xie Sui looked at the Queen and wondered what she might say if she continued like this. His brother was in a bad mood, so how could the two of them communicate clearly?
"The Queen should go back and rest first."
Xie Sui pinched his brows. How could he bear to marry his daughter to him?
The queen was determined to stay, "If Your Majesty doesn't agree to my request, I won't leave!" This was the first time she had done something beyond the rules as queen. She had never been so presumptuous in the palace.
"Someone, please take the queen down."
Xie Xu had a look of displeasure on his face. Crying and making a fuss was not going to solve the problem at this moment.
The Queen was unwilling to leave, so the Imperial Eunuch stepped forward and whispered, "Please, Queen, please don't embarrass me."
The queen was finally helped up by the maid beside her. She suppressed her tears and said, "I will take my leave."
After leaving the imperial study, the queen immediately grabbed the hand of the maid beside her and ordered, "Hurry and ask my father to come in and plead with His Majesty."
"Yes, I will send the Empress back to the palace and then leave immediately to pass on the message."
"No! You go now!"
The Queen's tone was firm. Now that things had come to this, she could only pray that her father could speak to His Majesty.
"I'll go right away." The maid said, and ran away quickly.
The Queen wiped her tears and was about to leave when Yu Guiwan came out and said, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen." Yu Guiwan was supported by Fuqiu and walked out, bowing before the Queen.
The Queen hadn't expected to see Yu Guiwan here. She was upset about Xie Zhiyi's situation. "Why are you here? Are you here to laugh at me too?"
It was the first time Yu Guiwan heard the Queen speak in such a sarcastic manner. She chuckled twice, "It seems that Her Majesty has misunderstood. I am only here waiting for Your Highness and have no intention of causing displeasure to Her Majesty."
"Instead of being like this, Your Majesty, why don't you go and ask the princess for her opinion?"
Upon hearing this, the queen immediately shouted angrily: "What do you mean by this! Yong'an certainly doesn't want to go for the marriage." As a mother, how could she not know what her daughter was thinking?
Yong'an insisted on marrying the man she loved. She was not satisfied with any of the many good men arranged for her. Would she be willing to marry to the State of Zhao?
Yu Guiwan bent down, knowing that she was anxious, but didn't say much.
The queen was so angry that she left the imperial study.
After she left, Xie Sui suddenly came out and saw Yu Guiwan standing at the door. He couldn't help but asked with concern: "Awan, why are you standing here? Are you cold?" As he said that, Xie Sui shook Yu Guiwan's hand.
Xie Sui felt relieved when he found that her hands were not cold.
"I heard the Queen's voice inside, so I thought of coming out to say hello." Yu Guiwanhui held Xie Sui's hand.
He nodded. "His Majesty has summoned the ministers to the palace for a discussion. It will probably take some time. If you're hungry, just let me know. Don't be shy. The Emperor won't scold you."
"Okay, I know, just go in."
*
Fengyi Palace.
The Queen had a headache and had just taken some medicine. She was resting her head on the couch for a short nap when the maid came in hurriedly. "Your Majesty, the Master has entered the palace. He has been summoned by His Majesty to discuss matters."
"understood."
The Queen opened her eyes. It must be His Majesty summoning ministers to discuss the marriage, hoping that her father could save Yong'an. If she had known this, she should have forced Yong'an to marry, otherwise she wouldn't have encountered such a thing today.
But it’s too late to say these things now, it won’t help.
suddenly.
A maid's voice was heard outside the palace: "Princess? Why are you here?" The maid obviously did not expect that Her Royal Highness the Princess would come to the palace at this time. Just now, the Queen had instructed them to keep the matter of the marriage a secret from Her Royal Highness the Princess.
But now that he has entered the palace, how can he keep this matter secret?
Xie Zhiyi was accompanied by Nangong Yi. Nangong Yi originally entered the palace with his father, but unexpectedly met Xie Zhiyi halfway, and was then pulled by Xie Zhiyi to his aunt.
"Mother."
"aunt."
The two of them shouted as they walked in, and Nangong Yi and Xie Zhiyi saluted at the same time. The queen immediately waved to them and said, "Come to me." The moment she saw Nangong Yi, she understood.
Yong'an must have known about the marriage, but looking at his expression, he seemed calm and didn't make a big fuss.
"Zhiyi, don't worry. Your mother won't let you marry a foreign prince." The queen took Xie Zhiyi's hand and comforted her.
Xie Zhiyi saw that her mother's eyes were still red, and she thought she had been crying. She had seen her mother yesterday, but she felt that her mother seemed to have aged a lot. She held the queen's hand and said, "Mother, you still need to take care of yourself."
"Even if my father wants me to marry a foreign prince, I will be willing to do so."
She had already thought about it on the way here.
As a princess, supported by the people of the world, she was now under attack from the border, with the State of Zhao eyeing her covetously. If she could only go to marry into the foreign army to resolve the current predicament, she would be willing to do so.
"no!"
The Queen's reaction was intense. Although she was pleased to hear Yong'an say this, and felt that her daughter had grown up, she was very moved. But now...
"The Crown Prince of Zhao is extremely dissolute and not a good match for you! I will never let you marry him!"
But as a mother, she just wants her daughter to marry into a good family and live a happy and smooth life.
"You guys go down."
The Queen waved her hand, not wanting to say anything more. Now it all depended on what His Majesty had to say.
Xie Zhiyi seemed to want to say something, but was glanced at by Nangong Yi.
Nangong Yi bowed and said, "Then Yu Feng will take his leave first." After saying that, he gave Xie Zhiyi a look to follow him.
……
"My aunt is furious now. Whatever you say is useless. As a mother, how can you let her watch you marry into the Kingdom of Zhao? Not to mention that the other party is not a good match."
Nangong Yi explained goodbye and why he pulled Xie Zhiyi out with him.
Xie Zhiyi kicked the snow on the ground and said, "I wonder how the discussion between father and the others went." After saying this, her eyes suddenly lit up. "Why don't we go over there and keep watch? We'll know as soon as there's any news."
Seeing that Nangong Yi didn't speak, she asked again:
"How's it going, cousin?"
"Don't go."
Nangong Yi refused decisively.
"Let's go, let's go. Consider that I will be marrying to the State of Zhao soon." Xie Zhiyi forcibly pulled his sleeve and led him towards the imperial study.
Nangong Yi quickly surrendered and stopped him, saying, "Okay, okay, let go! Men and women shouldn't touch each other."
As he said this, he shook off Xie Zhiyi's hand that was grabbing his sleeve.
