The queen had tasted the scent of something at this point, but she still looked at Chen Yan calmly, her eyes narrowed.
"Ms. Shen, are you negotiating terms with me?"
Chen Yan didn't care about the Queen's suddenly cold tone. For her, she never hoped to leave a good impression on the Queen.
Instead of liking her, the queen should be afraid of her, which would make her feel more at ease.
Therefore, Chen Yan looked into the Queen's eyes without flinching and said calmly, "If Her Majesty wants to say so, I have no objection."
Is this an admission?
The queen's eyebrows moved slightly, and her eyes looked at Chen Yan with an unclear expression.
She has never liked this woman, always feeling that she has a deep secret and is scheming.
Now, she can even get Nanny Chang's personal belongings, which further proves what the queen is thinking.
However, it also put the queen in a passive situation.
If she disagrees...
The queen raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Yan. Chen Yan seemed to have noticed something. She stroked the accessories on Nanny Chang's body with her hands, and raised a smile at the corner of her mouth. She looked very patient.
The queen was upset for a moment. She wanted to ask Chen Yan to leave, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out of her throat.
Just like that, Chen Yan quietly watched the changing expressions on the queen's face. She knew that the queen was conflicted, but this conflict made her happy.
Why should her enemies live happily?
Besides, she already knew the moral character of this family.
You say you value the other person, but when the time comes, you only think about yourself.
Chen Yan was confident that the Queen would agree to her conditions.
The Queen certainly thought so.
Although she didn't like Chen Yan, she also knew that the matter between Jun Mochen and Chen Yan had spread widely, and almost everyone knew that Chen Yan was the future Second Prince's consort.
If the royal family goes back on their word at this time, even if Chen Yan doesn't have any significant power behind her, she is just a female official after all, how can she be bullied like this?
Since Chen Yan is going to marry Jun Mochen no matter what, it would be better to make this deal with her. I can also do her a favor.
Anyway, she is just a prince's consort. No matter what, can she be more powerful than the queen?
What's more, once she entered the royal family, she still had to obey the orders of her mother-in-law.
In the future, when Jun Mochen inherits the throne, I will choose a few women from aristocratic families for him.
Thinking of this, the queen felt relieved and felt that this matter could be accomplished.
Even the look he gave Chen Yan was no longer as vigilant and defensive as before.
"Do you admire my Chen'er so much?"
Admiration?
Chen Yan could hardly control the sneer in his heart.
This old woman really knows how to flatter herself, but at this moment, she would never show what she was thinking.
She just looked at the queen like that, acting the same as usual.
Perhaps because of her own psychological suggestion, the queen felt that Chen Yan seemed very humble.
She clearly held such important information in her hands, but she chose to use it in exchange for her marriage with Jun Mochen.
If she didn't love Jun Mochen so much, how could she do this?
The queen was immersed in her own complacency and didn't notice the calculation in Chen Yan's eyes at all.
However, even though the two people had their own ulterior motives, they did form a temporary alliance.
Both of them were trustworthy people. The queen immediately went to the emperor's study and mentioned the marriage between Chen Yan and Jun Mochen. Chen Yan also kept her promise and returned Nanny Chang's accessories to her.
The emperor also knew that this matter had been delayed for too long. If it was delayed any further, it would inevitably lead to gossip.
He was hesitating about how to bring up this matter, but he didn't expect the queen to bring it up on her own initiative. It was like a pillow being delivered to him when he was sleepy.
The emperor and empress hit it off immediately and decided on the matter. The emperor then summoned Jun Mochen without delay.
He originally thought that Jun Mochen would be overjoyed after knowing this, and the two of them might even perform a scene of loving father and filial son. However, he did not expect that Jun Mochen's reaction would be so strange.
After Jun Mochen left the imperial study, the emperor felt more and more that something was wrong.
He stared at Eunuch Li, who was diligently serving beside him, and suddenly asked, "Has the Second Prince shown any abnormalities recently?"
Eunuch Li was stunned, not understanding what the emperor meant by "abnormality".
He stared blankly at the emperor and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, I wonder what you are talking about..."
When the emperor saw that he was playing dumb, his face suddenly darkened.
"Don't play dumb, you know what I'm talking about."
Seeing that he could no longer pretend, Eunuch Li reluctantly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know the details, but I heard that the Second Prince hasn't been to Ms. Shen much recently. Instead, it's always Ms. Shen who has taken the initiative..."
This is quite strange.
As the saying goes, when things are abnormal, there must be something wrong. The emperor couldn't believe that a person could change so quickly in such a short time.
His intuition told him that something must have gone wrong.
Then, the emperor glanced at Eunuch Li and ordered, "Li Quan, go check what the Second Prince has been doing recently."
"I obey your order."
Eunuch Li agreed readily, but when he found out that the reason Jun Mochen didn't want to marry Chen Yan was because of Princess An, he became a little uneasy.
His mind was in a mess and he even suspected that there was something wrong with his memory.
He turned around and asked the young eunuch beside him, "The Second Prince had previously harshly rejected Princess An for Ms. Shen, right?"
The young eunuch was confused, but faced with his master's question, he answered honestly, "That's right."
After receiving the expected answer, Eunuch Li felt even more uncomfortable.
The two of them had such an ugly quarrel before, Jun Mochen even said such heartless words that he only wished not to see Sang Liwan again in this life, but only a few months have passed, how come the situation has changed?
Although Eunuch Li didn't have much contact with Sang Liwan, he had seen her current attitude towards Jun Mochen.
It was as cold and indifferent as it could be, as if he didn't even look at this person.
How come the second prince likes this?
Thinking of this, Eunuch Li suddenly took a breath of cold air.
However, as a servant, he had no right to interfere in his master's affairs. He still felt that this matter was a bit outrageous.
So when the emperor remembered this matter and asked him about it, Eunuch Li did not mention Sang Liwan. He only said that the second prince was still young and had an unstable mind. He didn't know when he changed his mind, so it was nothing.
Hearing what Eunuch Li said, the emperor didn't think much about it. After all, in his opinion, Jun Mochen was the son of the dragon and a natural superior. He would not always focus on the same woman.
However, Jun Mochen and Chen Yan’s marriage will not change because of this.
Jun Mochen obviously knew this as well.
