The Noble Empress

The year Yan Xingchuan successfully rebelled, he made his cousin empress, and even promised never to establish another empress in this life before her death.

Cui Si was his principal wife, wh...

Chapter 48 Who decided that Cui Wuniang should be the wife of the Cui family?

Cui Wuniang?

For a moment, Yan Xingchuan suspected that he had heard it wrong.

He asked again: "Who are you talking about? Who does the Cui family want to marry?"

The guard repeated, "It's Madam Cui Wu."

"What about Madam Cui Liu?" Shen Mo also became anxious after hearing this.

You have to know that our monarch has been in Xianyang City for two days and has been to Cui Si's boudoir for two consecutive nights, which shows that he likes her very much.

The guard was confused by the question and scratched his hair: "I don't know about this."

"I don't know why you haven't checked it out yet. If you wait any longer, the queen will be gone."

"Ah?" The guard was stunned for a moment, then saw that Yan Xingchuan's face had darkened, and suddenly realized.

It turns out that the master has taken a fancy to Lady Cui Liu!

But......

"Then, my lord, are you still willing to see Madam Cui and Madam Cui Wu?"

Yan Xingchuan's face was gloomy, but after thinking for a moment, he finally said, "Then please ask Madam Cui to come in and have a seat. As for the others, please ask them to go back."

This bystander is probably Cui Wu Niangzi.

The guard understood, replied "yes", and then went to ask for help.

.

"What? The King of Northern Yan doesn't want to see me?" At the gate of Yayuan, Cui Yao, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and still fantasizing about meeting Yan Xingchuan and bewitching him to the point of losing his mind, couldn't hold back when he heard this.

"Why? Why is this?"

"Why doesn't the King of Northern Yan want to see me?"

Why else? Because the King of Northern Yan doesn’t like you!

Mrs. Cui sneered in her heart.

"No, why doesn't the King of Northern Yan want to see me? Didn't you inform me?"

"Madam Cui Wu, the Lord invites Madam Cui in."

The implication is that he just doesn't want to see her and doesn't like her.

Cui Yao froze, and the blood color gradually faded from his exquisitely decorated face.

"No, no, there must be something wrong, there must be something wrong..." How could the King of Beiyan look down on her when he hasn't even met her?

"Go and report it again, saying it's Cui Wuniang who wants to see you. It's Cui Wuniang from the third branch of the Cui family, not Cui Siniang, the sickly daughter of the head of the family!"

Madam Cui was hit by another knife, her face darkened: "Fifth Lady, if the King of Northern Yan doesn't want to see you, then he doesn't want to see you. Why are you bringing up Fourth Lady?"

"Why am I bringing up Si Niang?" Madam Cui was unhappy, and Cui Yao was even more unhappy. "Madam, how dare you criticize me? If it weren't for the incident between you and Si Niang over the two visiting cards, why wouldn't the King of Northern Yan want to see me?"

If there hadn't been a name card in front of her, and the name card handed over was written by her, Cui Wuniang Cui Yao, how could Yan Xingchuan refuse? She was already the future queen.

Now, there are two business cards and three people. Doesn’t this allow him to choose for himself?

"Alright." Madam Cui's face darkened slightly. "It's inappropriate to make such a fuss here. I'll discuss the details after I go see the King of Northern Yan. Third Aunt, please take Wu Niang back."

Old Madam Shen was stopped outside the door and was very unhappy. She was frowning at the moment. When she heard what Madam Cui said, she was calmer than Cui Yao:

"Then I will leave with Wu Niang first. When Madam meets the King of Beiyan later, please ask him why he doesn't like Wu Niang, so that my granddaughter can give up."

"Okay." Without Mrs. Shen's advice, Mrs. Cui also wanted to ask Yan Xingchuan whether he no longer wanted to marry their Cui family's daughter as queen.

After Mrs. Cui said this, she turned and walked towards the door: "Please lead the way."

"Please come in, Madam Cui." The guards invited Madam Cui in and took her to the main courtyard of the outer courtyard of Yayuan, where guests were entertained.

When Mrs. Cui arrived, Yan Xingchuan had not come yet.

Mrs. Cui picked up the hot tea brought by her personal guard and looked at the furnishings in the room.

On the main table was a white crabapple vase with a few peach branches inserted diagonally. When the spring breeze blew, the peach branches swayed slightly, revealing the vase painted with crabapple flowers, which seemed like a beautiful woman's face hidden among the peach branches.

It's amazing.

Others use vases to arrange flowers and hairpins to wear, but the owner of this house uses flowers to set off the vase.

Do you like vases?

Still like crabapple flowers?

Mrs. Cui still remembered the last time she accompanied Mr. Cui San and Cui Jing to Yayuan, they went to the courtyard where Yan Xingchuan lived.

The crabapple blossoms in the courtyard were in full bloom. He was wearing a white robe and sitting under the crabapple tree drinking tea.

It seems that he likes crabapple flowers.

Just as Mrs. Cui was thinking about this, she heard footsteps. She turned around and saw Yan Xingchuan, dressed in a black robe, walking calmly into the house.

Shen Mo followed behind him, still wearing a white robe and silver armor.

Madam Cui withdrew her gaze and stood up. Seeing Yan Xingchuan walk past her to take a seat at the main seat, she walked to the center of the hall and bowed, "Madam Cui Xie greets the King of Northern Yan."

"No need to be polite, please sit down."

"Thank you, King Beiyan." Mrs. Cui thanked him and sat back in her original seat.

Yan Xingchuan didn't waste any words and asked her directly, "Does Cui Wuniang want to marry Cui Wuniang to me?"

Madam Cui replied, "That's right. Since the King of Northern Yan is not satisfied with the Fourth Lady, then the Fifth Lady is also very good."

"Speaking of which, the King of Northern Yan might not know that the Cui family is different from other clans. Everything in the family is jointly managed by three branches. The Fifth Lady is the legitimate daughter of the Third Branch. Although her status is slightly lower than that of the Fourth Lady, it is only a little bit."

"The King of Northern Yan doesn't want to see Wu Niang. I wonder if Wu Niang has done something wrong?"

"There is nothing wrong with Madam Cui Wu." If he was not provoked, Yan Xingchuan would still be very tolerant. He also did not want others to speculate whether there was something wrong with Cui Yao and whether he was not interested in her.

"It's just that I have a better candidate?"

Madam Cui's expression changed slightly. "May I ask, King of Northern Yan, who is this person? Is it my daughter, Cui?"

"Of course it's Cui's daughter."

After hearing this, Mrs. Cui's expression eased a little.

It would be good if she is a daughter of the Cui family.

If the Queen of the King of Northern Yan was not a daughter of the Cui family, Mrs. Cui felt that she and Cui Yun would probably be in trouble.

Even though she was the wife of the head of the family, the anger of the Cui family was terrifying.

"I wonder which of my Cui clan's young ladies the King of Northern Yan has taken a fancy to. Just tell me, and my Cui clan will surely grant your wish."

Mrs. Cui's ideas changed again and again, and her demands became lower and lower.

At the moment, she just thought that it would be good enough if Yan Xingchuan was interested in a girl from the Cui family. Even if she was a girl from a side branch, the Cui family would be willing to marry her.

Yan Xingchuan said, "Before that, I would like to ask Madam Cui, who was the one who decided that Cui Wuniang should be the wife of the Cui family? Does the Second Branch agree?"

Mrs. Cui was a little confused by the question, but she answered truthfully: "It was decided by the head of the family and the second wife's husband together. The second wife naturally agreed."

Mr. Cui was obsessed with teaching all his life and was only in charge of the affairs of Xianyang Academy. When Cui Jing grew up a little, many things in the mansion were handed over to Cui Jing.

It can be said that what Cui Jing meant was the same as what the second wife meant.

"Cui Sanlang? Cui Jingzhi?"

"That's him."
