The entire village shakes their heads at Zhuang Qingning - an orphaned girl who, after recovering from illness, stubbornly registers as a female household head instead of living with her uncle.

Chapter 430 Absolutely Not!

Chapter 430 Absolutely Not!

When she saw the person kneeling on the ground, Princess Anle sneered, "Since you know that you have offended me, then you should know the consequences of offending me. Just kneel here for half an hour."

Kneel for half an hour?

Liang Xuelin suddenly collapsed to the ground.

At today's banquet, there were many children from the royal families. If they saw him kneeling here...

What's more, Liang Xuelin knew very well that most of the people who were kind and friendly to him today were just saying a few words for the sake of Concubine Liang's face. In fact, they looked down on him in their hearts and even hated him for being so glorious today.

If they saw him being punished to kneel here, wouldn't they laugh at him and ridicule him? "Princess Anle, please forgive me, it's really..." Liang Xuelin opened his mouth and wanted to make some excuses.

"Add another half an hour." Princess Anle's lazy voice sounded again.

Liang Xuelin felt a chill in his heart and quickly stopped talking.

He was filled with fear and anger, and could not help but glare at Princess Anle.

But just this one look made Liang Xuelin stunned.

It was rumored that Princess Anle had been born with an extremely beautiful appearance since she was a child. Liang Xuelin once thought that many people just wanted to curry favor with Princess Anle. Even though Princess Anle was born into a royal family, she was at most a little more beautiful than ordinary people.

But no one would have thought that Princess Anle was so beautiful with her almond-shaped eyes and willow-shaped eyebrows. Coupled with her unparalleled bearing of a princess, her already beautiful appearance had a sense of coldness and uniqueness, which made her even more charming.

Liang Xuelin felt that if he compared the two concubines and Princess Anle, whom he thought were extremely beautiful, the difference would be like the difference between a fish eye and a pearl.

It’s a pity that such a beauty is not something he can dream of, and she has just punished him severely.

Liang Xuelin lowered his head, "Princess Anle's teachings are very true..."

Princess Anle did not say anything this time, but just reached out and let down the veil.

Then, the lazy voice sounded again, "Add another half an hour..."

hateful!

Did this mean that he couldn't breathe? Liang Xuelin almost bit his teeth to pieces, and spat in anger at the sedan chair that was gradually moving away.

Kneeling for an hour? Do you think he's stupid? He'll kneel down if he's told to. No one's watching. He doesn't want to be a fool here! Liang Xuelin stood up from the ground and brushed the dust off his knees.

She is just a princess, but you are so arrogant. You think she is a commoner with no status and you can't punish her! Sooner or later, you will be punished.

Liang Xuelin cursed and left indignantly. ——Chu Jinnian and Chu Yunzhao went to the Queen Mother together.

The Queen Mother was now surrounded by some old concubines, chatting about family matters and interesting things, with a smile on her face.

"Grandson meets the Imperial Grandmother."

Chu Yunzhao and Chu Jinnian came forward and saluted, "Greetings to all the concubines, madam."

"Hurry up and get up." When the Queen Mother saw them, she smiled even more and waved at them, "You two, come and sit down."

Seeing that the Queen Mother obviously wanted to say something to Chu Yunzhao and Chu Jinnian, Concubine Xian stood up and led the others to the garden to see the flowers.

With no one else around, the empress dowager spoke more casually and pulled Chu Yunzhao and Chu Jinnian to sit on her left and right.

"It's okay for Yun Zhao, he has been in the palace and I often see him, but you, little monkey, don't even think about paying respects to me. Have you forgotten me?"

Chu Jinnian smiled slightly, "I have been busy with official duties and have not yet paid my respects to the Empress Dowager. It is my grandson's fault."

"The emperor is the same. You are so young but he lets you do so many things. He is not afraid that you will get tired. I will tell the emperor later that it is a good thing for those who are capable to do more work, but he cannot just use you. If you get tired, what will happen?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I noticed that you have lost some weight recently."

"It's my fault that the Empress Dowager has to worry about me, but I'm happy to be able to serve the court and be loyal to the Emperor." Chu Jinnian replied.

"These are words that a man from the Chu family should say."

The Queen Mother said, "Since you say so, it is a good thing for a man to establish himself and make achievements. I will not persuade him any further."

"But it's one thing to build a career, but you're not young anymore, it's time to consider starting a family."

"It's said that you should start a family and a career, and it's always been the case that you should start a family first and then a career. This is something that needs to be considered."

"I know that your mother passed away a long time ago. Luo in the Qi Wang Mansion is a person who is not presentable. Although Hui Guifei loves you, she also has to worry about Yun Zhao's affairs and is too busy. Why don't I take care of this matter for you?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"With me here, you don't have to worry about anyone getting in the way. And if you don't agree, I won't force you. How do you do that?"

The Queen Mother's meaning was very clear, she just wanted to find a wife for Chu Jinnian.

Yes, Chu Jinnian grew up with Concubine Hui in the palace for several years, but he also spent almost half of that time with the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager loved Chu Jinnian more than the other princes.

Seeing that her grandson, whose father didn't love him and whose mother passed away early, had finally grown up after going through untold hardships, the empress dowager naturally wanted to marry Chu Jinnian off as soon as possible while she was still strong and healthy. This would also put her mind at ease.

Chu Yunzhao could understand the empress dowager's feelings at the moment and felt that it was reasonable.

only……

Didn’t he make a promise in front of the emperor before? He must get married when Chu Jinnian gets married.

If Chu Jinnian agreed to this matter at this time and arranged the marriage early, the marriage would probably take only a year or two. Then, it would be... too late for him and Miss Luo.

This won’t do. Absolutely not!

Chu Yunzhao said anxiously, "Grandmother, there is no need to be too anxious about this matter. Jinnian is still young. If we talk about seniority, my grandson should get married first, and then it will be Jinnian's turn."

"My grandson hasn't even got engaged yet. Isn't it too early to arrange a marriage for Jinnian?"

"If we wait until you get married, won't it be too late?" The Queen Mother glanced at Chu Yunzhao, "I know your character very well. Just because your marriage with Miss Luo didn't work out, I don't know if you can agree to other marriages. I'm afraid it will take several years. Do you want Jinnian to be delayed along with you?"

"Jinnian, you don't have to listen to Yunzhao's nonsense here, just listen to me."

"Speaking of which, the Queen is hosting a banquet today. There are many daughters from good families who are attending the banquet. They are all of marriageable age. I think there are a few good ones..."

It's the end of the month, and those of you who have monthly tickets can vote for me. Ahem, as a thank you, the author will be able to update more in early June~      (End of this chapter)
