Chapter 59 My son likes a woman
Shangguan Jue knelt in the hall with his back straight and his eyes firm.
"Yes, mother, I like Miss Feng and I want to marry her."
The queen took a deep breath, her eyes gradually turning colder.
"I don't agree!"
She turned to look at Shangguan Jue and asked in a sharp voice.
"Your cousin Wang Qichun is also very nice, why don't you want to marry her?"
Shangguan Jue shook his head, "My cousin is very nice, but I don't like her."
"I will not marry anyone except Feng Xici."
The queen sneered and suddenly threw the cup in her hand to the ground.
She no longer wanted to pretend to be as virtuous and gentle as she used to be.
Her voice became extremely harsh and her eyes were icy cold. "Then I tell you now, you can only marry Wang Qichun. Apart from her, you can't marry anyone else!"
The ceramic fragments exploded completely when they hit the ground, and the crisp sound echoed in the hall.
Shangguan Jue frowned and looked incredulous.
"Why? Mother, why do you insist that I marry my cousin?"
The queen sneered and stared coldly at Shangguan Jue in front of her.
"How dare you ask me why? You have the blood of the Wang family in your veins, so you have the responsibility to continue the glory of the Wang family!"
Shangguan Jue looked at her steadily.
"Mother, I really like Feng Xici."
The queen's mouth curled up in a scornful arc.
"Sincerity? Can sincerity bring you power and wealth? Why are you so naive?!"
Shangguan Jue shook his head and was about to say something else, but was interrupted by the Queen.
"I tell you, you can only choose one between Feng Xici and me! Either her or me! Either me or her!"
The queen turned around and ordered in a sharp voice: "Xinlan, tell the kitchen not to send any more food! I don't want to eat!"
Shangguan Jue looked at the Queen in disbelief.
"Mother, you actually threatened me with starvation!"
The queen looked at him coldly.
"Unless you agree to marry Wang Qichun, you'll be looking at a dead body!"
"Let everyone in the world know how unfilial you are!"
After saying this, the empress went straight to the back hall without even looking at Shangguan Jue.
Shangguan Jue closed his eyes tightly, lowered his shoulders, and felt exhausted.
In fact, he also anticipated that his mother might not agree.
But I didn't expect it.
She actually reacted so violently...
garden.
Xiao Ziyuan took out a wooden box and handed it to Shangguan Sui.
"My mother asked me to give this to you."
Shangguan Sui's eyes widened slightly, "Your mother?"
Xiao Ziyuan nodded, "Yes, mother said she is very grateful for your help last time. This is for you, and the one for the Empress has been sent."
Shangguan Sui opened the wooden box in front of him and his eyes were almost blinded by the light.
"This... this is yellow tourmaline?!"
[Yellow tourmaline is very expensive! So beautiful! I love it! ]
Xiao Ziyuan nodded, "My mother said that gold was not valuable enough, so she found this yellow tourmaline, polished it into beads of the same size, and strung it into a bracelet."
"You can try it, it should be the right size."
Shangguan Sui's eyes sparkled, and he tried it immediately after hearing that.
I found it was just right.
Her delicate little face was full of smiles, and she said sweetly, "Thank you so much, mother!"
Xiao Ziyuan chuckled, "It's all my duty, no need to thank me."
"After the Rui Wang Mansion was confiscated, the land and houses were sold off, and the money was just enough to cover my mother's dowry and the money that the Rui Wang had embezzled over the past eight years."
"The emperor returned all the money to my mother, and she settled down in the capital and ran the Song family's shop in the capital herself."
Shangguan Sui blinked her beautiful big eyes.
“Running your own shop? That’s great!”
Xiao Ziyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mom is now doing what she likes every day, and her health is getting better and better."
Shangguan Sui was also very happy.
【I am so happy to see everyone getting better and better! 】
[From this point of view, Xiao Ziyuan will definitely not turn evil! That’s great! ]
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
"Fifth Princess, you are here. I was looking for you."
Shangguan Sui turned around and found it was Eunuch Chen.
Eunuch Chen bowed and saluted, his face full of respect.
"Princess, the emperor wants you to go to the study."
Shangguan Sui nodded, waved to Xiao Ziyuan, and followed Eunuch Chen.
The two of them soon arrived at Yu's study.
When Shangguan Lin saw the little figure staggering towards him on short legs, the corners of his mouth curled up. He immediately got down from the dragon chair and reached out to pick up Shangguan Sui.
Shangguan Lin gently pinched her little face.
"Shunshun, did you miss daddy today?"
Shangguan Sui nodded.
[I miss it. I really miss the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in Yu Shufang! 】
Shangguan Lin: ...
He knew this would be the answer.
But he still asked Eunuch Chen to bring osmanthus cake and milk tea immediately.
Shangguan Sui sat on the dragon chair, eating while swinging his short legs.
Shangguan Lin was carefully reviewing the memorials.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince requests an audience."
Eunuch Chen's sharp voice suddenly rang out.
Soon, a tall and slender young man strode into Yu's study.
Shangguan Jue bowed and began to report on official business.
He spoke very fluently and logically.
But Shangguan Sui still noticed something was wrong.
[No, why does my brother feel like something is weird? ]
[It seems like he is not very happy...]
Shangguan Lin immediately pricked up his ears.
The last time Jue'er was poisoned, he didn't find out from Suinshun until a whole year later.
He really neglected Jue'er too much.
Shangguan Lin felt a little guilty.
He nodded towards Shangguan Jue.
"You did a great job, I know everything."
"You are my son. You can tell me anything you want."
Shangguan Jue pursed his lips and thought about it.
I feel that perhaps only my father can help him with this matter.
He immediately bowed and began to explain.
"I have fallen in love with a girl, the daughter of Minister Feng."
"But my mother disagreed. She insisted that I marry Wang Qichun, and she was very determined. She even threatened me with a hunger strike..."
Shangguan Sui and Shangguan Lin were both shocked.
[Ah, my brother actually told the Queen directly. ]
[However, the Queen only cares about the interests of her family and of course doesn't care about my eldest brother's feelings. After all, the Queen is not my eldest brother's biological mother.]
Shangguan Jue:?!
What?
He is not the Queen's biological son?
Then who is his mother?
[Oh, by the way, Daddy actually knows about this as well.]
There was no sign of anything unusual about Shangguan Lin; he still looked dignified and solemn.
But I couldn't help but touch my nose guiltily.
He definitely knew about this, and it was his decision.
