"I saw it!"
The emperor held the queen's hand, his face full of relief. "This bastard now knows how to protect his wife in front of outsiders. He has improved a lot. In the past, he would never take the initiative to hold a woman's hand."
The emperor sighed and thought of how Qi Yuan used to avoid women.
"The Xu family's daughter is well-raised."
The emperor changed his words and said, "No, this woman is good in herself, and has nothing to do with the Xu family."
The Xu family did not raise her well and even favored the fake one.
"I've been worrying for nothing all night." The Queen said with a smile, "I thought Yuan'er was still the same as before, but I never thought it would be real this time."
The emperor was happy, but he still retained a trace of rationality. "Let's observe and see if they sleep together after they get married. Just holding hands doesn't mean Yuan'er is necessarily attracted to her."
"But this marriage must be granted today."
The emperor was more afraid of unexpected events than anyone else, and even more afraid of Qi Yuan going back on his word.
…………
"You...your princess?"
The young women who had surrounded Xu Lingyi were all stunned.
They never thought they would hear such words from Qi Yuan.
It is obvious to all that His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is not interested in women, and there have long been rumors in the capital that His Royal Highness may have a homosexual tendency.
But even so, there are still countless women who want to enter Prince Yan's Mansion.
Everyone knows that the Prince of Yan will take that position sooner or later.
The other princes could not compete with the Prince of Yan, nor could they enjoy as much love and respect from Your Majesty as the Prince of Yan.
As long as His Highness ascends the throne in the future, the value of the women in the backyard will naturally increase.
Therefore, the King of Yan has always been the object of covetousness and competition among many women.
They never imagined that the position of Princess Consort of Prince Yan, the future Queen, would fall to Xu Lingyi.
No matter how beautiful she is, she is just the daughter of a minor official. How can she be worthy of His Highness?
Their hearts seemed to be broken into pieces.
Not only that, the King of Yan had a frosty face and stared at them with extremely cold eyes.
"Apologize to my princess!" Qi Yuan's eyes were extremely cold, which made people shudder.
These people felt a sinking feeling in their hearts. They had offended King Yan today and would definitely be punished when they returned home.
Now they had to apologize to Xu Lingyi in public, which made them even more uncomfortable.
But who dares to offend King Yan?
Xu Lingyi silently watched these people bow their heads before her, without any trace of the arrogance she had just had.
She felt very happy and once again felt the charm of power.
But she didn't show any expression on her face.
She just looked at these people weakly and spoke magnanimously.
"It's fine……"
She even smiled at these people with a gentle tone.
Qi Yuan sighed inwardly, feeling very disappointed with his friend.
He felt more and more that she was too weak. If he didn't protect her, she would probably be bullied to death.
The emperor and the empress both had smiles on their faces and were in a very good mood.
Xu Lingyi's nervousness quickly disappeared when she saw them.
In front of everyone, the queen held her hand very intimately.
"Yier, come to your mother."
The Queen's attitude destroyed all those people's last glimmer of hope.
I originally thought that the emperor and empress might look down on Xu Lingyi's family background, but the result was completely the opposite.
"This is my daughter-in-law. I was going to issue an imperial decree yesterday to grant them marriage, but since we are having a palace banquet today, I decided to announce it at the banquet so that everyone can celebrate together."
Xu Lingyi sat next to the queen, at the top.
Seeing the queen said only one sentence, the people below knelt down.
This is imperial power.
When Qi Yuan ascends the throne in the future, she can be like the queen today.
"Yier, your marriage may be a little inconvenient for you. The Emperor and I have carefully selected two dates, one in eight months and the other in three months."
The emperor and the empress couldn't wait, so they naturally chose someone who was closer to them, which meant that their wedding might be a little simpler.
"We chose a date after March."
Xu Lingyi shook her head gently, "Your Majesty, I don't mind. Your Majesty, please make the decision."
The more the queen looked at her, the more she liked her. "You are a good child. Yuan'er used to be as stubborn as a bull and refused to get married no matter what. Only you made him change his mind. I am very grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have seen Yuan'er get married."
The Queen spoke sincerely, her affection was very obvious, "If Yuan'er bullies you in the future, just come and tell me..."
As she spoke, the queen took off the jade bracelet in her hand and put it on Xu Lingyi's hand.
"Your Majesty..."
Xu Lingyi was surprised and hesitant, pretending to be at a loss.
"This was given to me by the Queen Mother. I'm saving it for my daughter-in-law, so you must take it."
Xu Lingyi didn't know what to say.
Throughout the palace banquet, Xu Lingyi became the center of attention, and everyone watched as the queen treated Xu Lingyi with utmost tenderness and affection.
For a time, the Xu family became the object of jealousy by everyone else. At this time, they didn't know that Xu Lingyi had severed all ties with the Xu family.
After the palace banquet, Old Madam Xu and Father Xu were surrounded by many people. While they were dealing with their flattery and congratulations, they felt extremely guilty and anxious in their hearts.
Feeling guilty about the day he had a falling out with Xu Lingyi, he was anxious to win back Xu Lingyi's heart, bring her back to the Xu family, and do his best to make amends.
After much difficulty, Old Madam Xu managed to escape by pretending to be sick, but she found that she could not get close to Xu Lingyi, and Xu Lingyi was still with the Gu family.
"Yier." Old Madam Xu actually called her.
She covered her chest, her face pale and she seemed unwell.
