"Sister, don't worry too much. My niece is very talented and intelligent. There will be no problem." Duke Lingren comforted her hastily.
"I hope so. What do you want to see me about?" Her Majesty the Queen asked.
Lingren immediately smiled and said, "Sister, Yu'er and Duke Chu have been engaged for some time. Considering that they are old enough, I came to ask you when you plan to let them get married?"
When this question was mentioned, Her Majesty the Queen was stunned for a moment.
Because it was confirmed some time ago that Ou Zihan and Chu Tiance were not cousins, originally letting Chu Tiance and Ling Yuyu get engaged was also a tactic to slow down the situation. Now that the cousin relationship has been solved, then this engagement...
Her Majesty the Queen did have concerns before, but Ling Ren never mentioned it, so she thought Ling Ren didn't care, who knew he actually proposed marriage directly!
"Brother Ren, Xiaohan and Tiance are not related by blood." Her Majesty the Queen reminded.
"Yes, I know," Ling Ren asked with a raised eyebrow, "Sister, you are not just pretending that Yu'er's engagement didn't happen because they are not cousins?"
"No, that's not what I mean. I mean why didn't you bring it up before?" Her Majesty the Queen asked.
"I didn't mention it before because I was busy with business and didn't have time to talk to you. Now I finally have time, and Yu'er is urging me to get married. I think it's time to get married." Ling Ren was a little angry. "
But..." Her Majesty the Queen really didn't know how to tell Ling Ren, "But, I have promised Xiao Han that as long as she passes the assessment of the Queen, I will agree to her marriage with Tian Ce."
Her Majesty the Queen had to tell the truth.
Although she already knew about this, Ling Ren still stood up angrily, "What? Sister, how can you do this? After all, Yu'er is your niece. You have watched her grow up since she was a child. Are you going to send her away like this?!"
"Sit down first, and let's talk it over."
"I can't sit down!" Ling Ren roared, "The Duke of Chu and you announced the news of Yu'er and the Duke of Chu's engagement at the same time. The whole country knows about this! They even held an engagement banquet, but now it's cancelled without a word. How can Yu'er face people in the future!"
"Brother Ren! Listen to me first!" Her Majesty the Queen knew she was in the wrong and didn't want to argue with Ling Ren.
"Okay, sister, you say." Ling Ren calmed down and sat on the sofa.
"I thought you wouldn't care about this matter if you didn't mention it. Yu'er and Tian Ce didn't have any feelings for each other. I think..."
Ling Ren turned his head to Her Majesty the Queen angrily, "They didn't have feelings for each other at the beginning. In order to save your daughter, Yu'er was willing to sacrifice herself. Now you want to cancel their engagement because they have no feelings?"
"No, I'm discussing this with you again, aren't I?" Her Majesty the Queen said anxiously.
"Sister, there's nothing to say. I just want to ask you that if you have an engagement with a royal princess or prince, even if it's not officially registered, as long as you issue a notice and hold an engagement banquet, if you don't get married, does it count as breaking off the engagement?" Ling Ren asked righteously.
Her Majesty the Queen lowered her head, "It counts."
"Then what will be the consequences of breaking off the engagement with a royal princess or prince?" Ling Ren continued to ask.
"Breaking off the engagement with the royal family is illegal, and you will be imprisoned for ten years and will not be allowed to remarry for life." Her Majesty the Queen said painfully.
"Sister, just remember that now our family has always been cautious and has always abided by the royal system. We have never made any major mistakes, so Duke Chu must not break off the engagement. I hope you won't be too partial!"
After saying that, Ling Ren strode away.
"Brother Ren!" Her Majesty the Queen wanted to call him back, but he left without looking back.
