But I still feel regretful in my heart, and even hope that my brother will marry a noble lady with a clean family background.

In Canglang, Princess Qingping of Canglang County would be in a more difficult situation without her cousin Jun Zechen as her support.

Su Jingyao lowered her eyes slightly, a light flickered in her eyes, her thoughts surging, and she thought a lot.

Qi Wanyin outside sighed softly, her sigh filled with helplessness and sadness.

Things have really changed.

"I am now twenty years old. When I was in Canglang, the nobles of Yuzhou looked down on my status, so I have never married."

Qi Wanyin's voice trembled slightly and her eyes were slightly red.

"Now that I have returned to my king's kingdom, I will accept anyone I marry."

When Jun Zechen heard this, his brows furrowed tightly, and a look of dissatisfaction emerged on his face.

"Back to the Kingdom, you are the county lady, and you were raised by your mother since childhood. You have a noble status. Since I promised you that you can marry freely, you can marry according to your heart."

Jun Zechen's tone was serious and earnest, and his eyes were full of majesty.

"Why? Minister Su is not the one you like?"

Because of Jun Zechen's slightly heavier tone, Qi Wanyin's body trembled involuntarily as if blown by a gust of wind.

Then she knelt down, her voice cold.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Minister Su is young and promising. He is also the Queen's brother. His status is extremely noble. Naturally, I am willing to marry him."

Jun Zechen's eyes instantly became as sharp as a sword and fell directly on Qi Wanyin.

Why does it seem like she was forced to say this?

Yaoyao clearly said that Qi Wanyin admitted that she liked Minister Su at the Qushui Banquet, so why does it seem that this is not the case now?

Yaoyao forced her?

Jun Zechen thought about it and realized that the woman who was now spoiled by him was not incapable of doing such a thing.

Jun Zechen sighed in his heart and shook his head helplessly.

He subconsciously glanced inside.

He was becoming more and more unscrupulous in his actions, so he just listened to Qi Wanyin's words today.

If the Queen Mother knew that Qi Wanyin had been wronged when she came back, she would probably misunderstand her...

Never mind, let's just leave it as it is.

"Since you are willing to marry, I will not ask any more questions. When you get married, the Queen and I will definitely give you a generous gift."

Jun Zechen raised his head slightly, and his expression regained some calmness.

"You have returned to the capital. I have also sent someone to inform my mother. I think she will return to the palace soon."

Jun Zechen's voice was indifferent, without much emotion.

A hint of shock flashed across Qi Wanyin's lowered eyes, and her heart was full of confusion.

Why didn't Your Majesty continue to ask her whether she and Minister Su were in love with each other?

Until Qi Wanyin left the imperial study, she still felt it was unbelievable. Could time really change a person so much?

Qi Wanyin walked on the palace road with a somewhat wandering look in her eyes.

Suddenly, a palace maid came running towards her in a hurry and bumped into her.

"Please forgive me, my lady. I didn't mean it."

The palace maid immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Qi Wanyin's expression instantly turned cold, but her words remained gentle.

"Get up, nothing's wrong."

After the palace maid left with many thanks, Qi Wanyin held the note in her hand even tighter.
