Chapter 151: Marrying Yun Wei as the Crown Princess
After the prince left, the queen's face darkened and she beckoned the nanny beside her to come over.
"Go and bring Miss Yun Wei from the Prime Minister's Mansion here. I want to see her!"
"It's the Queen! I'll go right away!"
After a while, Yun Wei was brought to the Queen's tent by the nanny.
She walked to the center, knelt down, and saluted, saying, "Your humble servant pays homage to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty live a thousand years!"
The queen sitting at the top had no expression on her face and stared at Yun Wei without blinking.
"Lift your head and show me."
Yun Wei knelt and raised her head, looking at the queen respectfully.
The Queen curled her lips and sneered, "She's not bad looking. Although not as bright and flamboyant as Yun Li, she's still a beauty! Tell me how you hooked up with the Crown Prince!"
Yun Wei was panicked for a moment and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I did not seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
The Queen's expression was ambiguous. "Oh? You didn't hook up with the Crown Prince. Then how did you and the Crown Prince get together?"
Yun Wei lowered her head and whispered, "To answer the Queen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are in love with each other. When our love reaches a deep level, we can't help ourselves, so... so..."
The Queen mocked, "As a woman, don't I understand your thoughts? Yun Wei, I didn't ask you to come here today to chat with you or beat around the bush!"
No matter what means or methods you used to become the prince, you should be thankful that you are the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, otherwise you can forget about entering the door of the Prince's Mansion!
At this point, I will go and ask the Emperor to grant you a marriage with the Crown Prince!
From now on, the Crown Prince's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion will share honor and disgrace. The Prime Minister's Mansion must wholeheartedly assist the Crown Prince with all its strength. Do you understand?"
Yun Wei was secretly delighted. She finally got the Queen's personal recognition! Her efforts were not in vain. She really had to thank those snakes last night for letting her go with the flow. Otherwise, she would have looked for opportunities with the Crown Prince.
She nodded quickly and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty! I will definitely keep your words in mind! From now on, your father and I will do our utmost to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The queen was satisfied and asked her to get up: "Get up"
"Thank you, Queen!"
"Go back! I'm going to see the emperor right now!"
Yun Wei's face lit up with joy and she said, "Yes! Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty! I'll take my leave!"
…
Soon, the queen came to the emperor's tent
"I, the concubine, attend the emperor's visit"
Helian Tian was reading a memorial. When he looked up and saw that it was the Queen, he waved his hand and said, "Queen, there is no need to be so polite!"
The Queen stood up and walked to the Emperor, and said in a gentle voice: "Your Majesty, I came here to ask your opinion on something."
Helian Tian put down the memorial and glanced at her: "Oh? Queen, if you have something to say, please feel free to tell me!"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been living alone for over a year now. He's not young anymore, and it's not a good idea to leave the Crown Princess position vacant. So, I want to arrange his marriage as soon as possible!"
Helian Tian nodded and said, "The Queen is right. I have mentioned this matter to the Crown Prince before, but he always evaded the question. So, has the Queen persuaded the Crown Prince?"
The Queen smiled and said, "It wasn't me who persuaded him! He was the one who was embarrassed to tell his father, so he came to me and asked me to tell the Emperor!"
Helian Tian asked in surprise: "He brought it up on his own initiative? Could it be that he already has someone suitable? Which woman is it? Let me hear it!"
"Your Majesty! The Crown Prince and the Prime Minister's daughter, Yun Wei, are in love with each other and have secretly developed feelings for each other! I was also afraid that the Crown Prince might play it frivolously, so I called Yun Wei into the tent and asked her about it just now!
She said she was willing to marry the prince, so I ran to the emperor without delay to ask for his approval for the two children!
I think it is better to do it today than to wait for a date. Your Majesty, please issue the imperial decree and set the marriage. I will prepare the betrothal gifts when I return to the palace!"
Helian Tian frowned. It was easy to choose the prince, so why did he choose the young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion?
The Prime Minister's Mansion previously produced a Duan Wang Consort, and now the Duan Wang Mansion is in decline, and now it's going to produce a Crown Princess right after? Is the Prime Minister's Mansion too prominent?
Is it that the Crown Prince is interested in forming an alliance with the Prime Minister's Office, or is it that the Prime Minister's Office is interested in forming an alliance with the Crown Prince?
I'm afraid that the affection is fake, and there are some twists and turns mixed in.
However, compared with the other princes, Crown Prince Helian Chen is more inclined in Helian Tian's heart.
Prince Yu and Princess Mingxi are going to marry, I am afraid that the prince can't sit still, thinking of the arrogant and domineering look of the two last night, Helian Tian couldn't help but have a headache
"Alright, but I'll still ask Prime Minister Yun's opinion as a sign of respect! Once Prime Minister Yun has no problem with it, I'll issue an edict granting them marriage!"
The Queen smiled gently and said, "Your Majesty is truly thoughtful! I would like to thank you on behalf of our two children!"
The emperor said nothing, but waved his hand, signaling the queen to leave.
Asking Yun Qingshan was just a formality. Yun Qingshan was eager for Yun Wei to marry the prince, so he was extremely happy and wanted the wedding to be held tomorrow.
…
The next morning, the emperor ordered everyone in the enclosure to gather together and kneel down.
The eunuch walked up to the platform and read the imperial edict
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor declares that Miss Yun Wei, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is gentle and kind, dignified and elegant, with both good character and appearance. She is of the right age for the Crown Prince, and they are well-matched. Their talents and appearance make them a perfect match. I am pleased to appoint her as the Crown Prince's principal consort and to move into the Eastern Palace. The marriage will be held on the same day! I decree!"
"Thank you, Father!"
"Your Majesty, thank you!"
The eunuch presented the imperial edict with both hands and handed it to Yun Li, causing an uproar in the audience.
The officials were surprised that the emperor suddenly issued an edict to appoint the Crown Princess without any warning!
And those noble ladies who were eyeing the position of Crown Princess were all disappointed.
Their eyes turned to Yun Wei, filled with jealousy, envy, and more importantly, resentment... Why was it her?
Yun Wei became the future Crown Princess, and the happiest person was Prime Minister Yun Qingshan.
Other officials on the side came forward to congratulate
"Congratulations, Prime Minister!"
"Congratulations, Prime Minister!"
For a moment, Prime Minister Yun and Yun Wei were surrounded by everyone. No matter how unwilling these people were in their hearts, no one dared to offend them for the sake of face. Everyone thought in their hearts that it seemed that the emperor was very interested in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Otherwise, how could the royal family marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion twice! When Prince Duan's Mansion rebelled, the emperor did not implicate the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now he has given the position of Crown Princess to the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It can be seen that the emperor is very partial to the Prime Minister.
It seems that I have to curry favor with the Prime Minister in the future.
