"Your Majesty does not like threats from others."
Although they were talking in whispers, Xie Qingyao felt that he was too close to her and it was a bit ambiguous.
Her face suddenly flushed, and she quietly moved a little further away.
He Zheng continued, "Miss Wen San originally had a chance to become the Crown Princess, but after what happened today, Prime Minister Wen took an unwise approach and made a wrong move."
"Your Majesty is no longer the same as he was before. Prime Minister Wen has wavered in his stance and is using this as a means to force Your Majesty to make a decision. Your Majesty will never allow a girl from the Wen family to become the Crown Princess."
Xie Qingyao whispered, "If she's not from the Wen family, then she's probably not from the Situ family either."
"Your Majesty would not want to see the daughter of the Situ family become the future queen. It is a taboo for foreign relatives to interfere in politics. We need to support another family to compete with the Situ family."
After all, no matter who the Crown Princess ends up with, it has little to do with them. The only thing they need to do is to ruin the King of Longxi's plan and not let Wei Yian marry Wen Xuechun as he wishes.
Over there, Emperor Jinde also expressed his attitude, "Since Lord Wen says so, then I will do as you say."
"If these two children are attracted to each other, I will grant them marriage."
Prime Minister Wen felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He began to wonder if what he was doing was right, or was it too risky?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" Prime Minister Wen returned to his seat, but did not notice any displeasure on Emperor Jinde's face.
As a minister, guessing the emperor's mind is a taboo, and trying to influence his majesty's decision is the biggest taboo of all.
Emperor Jinde didn't bother with him because he had been loyal for so many years, but the little plan in his mind was likely to be dashed.
Seeing that things were developing as planned, Wei Yian was suddenly very happy. He subconsciously turned his head to look at Wen Xuechun who was sitting at the table. However, Wen Xuechun lowered his head and took a sip of tea without looking at him.
The eyes are like autumn water, filled with melancholy.
She didn't want to marry Wei Yian.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone walked around and talked to each other.
"Madam Anguo, may I have a word with you?" A clear voice sounded from the side.
Xie Qingyao turned around and met Wen Xuechun's pitiful face.
She put down the teacup in her hand, stood up and said, "Okay."
The two came behind a rockery, which was very private, and Shuangyue Mozhu stood guard by their side.
Wen Xuechun frowned and said, "Madam Anguo Hou, can you let them both leave first?"
"No." Xie Qingyao refused decisively.
Wen Xuechun was stunned for a moment.
Then Xie Qingyao said, "They are my personal maids. There is nothing they cannot listen to. Miss Wen, please speak up."
Shuangyue Mozhu raised his chin slightly, with a hint of pride on his face.
Listen, they are people the lady trusts, there is nothing they can't listen to!
Wen Xuechun no longer hesitated. She pursed her lips and whispered, "I don't want to marry Wei Yian. Can Madam Hou help me? I know it will be possible if Madam Hou helps."
Xie Qingyao: "..."
She said, "I understand that you don't want to marry Wei Yian, but why did you ask me to help you?"
"My Lord and your grandfather don't seem to get along very well."
Marquis Anguo and Prime Minister Wen checked and balanced each other. There were even rumors that within a few years, Marquis Anguo would replace Prime Minister Wen and ascend to the position of Prime Minister.
He is too young and too sharp.
Prime Minister Wen often wanted to suppress Marquis Anguo, but he was unable to do so.
The two of them often disagreed and could be considered political enemies.
Xie Qingyao exhaled and couldn't help laughing: "What position do you think I should take to help you?"
Wen Xuechun's heart trembled.
Xie Qingyao was right, she really had no reason to help her.
After a long while, she finally managed to utter, "I don't want to be a victim of my family. I know you are different... You are different from other women."
"You are strong... and kind."
Xie Qingyao would resist when the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion oppressed her, and she would also protect her friends without hesitation.
Wen Xuechun saw a shining point in her that no one else had, making her look like a real and full person, rather than a soulless family puppet.
This person is bragging about himself.
Xie Qingyao thought to herself, she was being praised so highly.
Xie Qingyao: "You are unwilling to go against the wishes of your family for your own happiness, but pin your hopes on others."
"The only one who can help you is yourself."
"You need to find a way to convince your grandfather not to cooperate with the King of Longxi. Secondly, you must procrastinate. The longer this matter is delayed, the more likely it is that it will fail."
Wen Xuechun came to his senses only after Xie Qingyao walked away.
Her maid ran over and asked, "How is the young lady? Will the Marquis be willing to help you?"
Wen Xuechun first shook his head slowly, then murmured, "She didn't take direct action, but she did help me."
Xie Qingyao's last words woke her up.
The implication was that as long as her marriage with Wei Yian was not finalized, it might be ruined.
"On my own?"
"Grandfather is truly confused. The Wei family is powerful, but how can we know that we are not courting disaster?"
Her eyes were very determined. "I will never let my grandfather agree to this marriage."
After returning to the hall, Xie Qingyao was pulled over by Princess Yongle.
"When did they become so familiar with each other?"
"Xie Qingyao is indeed very resourceful. Even the always arrogant Sister Yongle has become her friend." Princess Yong'an's eyes were cold.
Princess Yongjia, who was standing by, placed one hand on her abdomen, her expression dazed as her eyes wandered over the people in the hall.
