Wu Fangzi gritted her teeth and stood up, looking forbearing.
The others exchanged glances.
Jin Yu said, "Come here, the Queen has something to ask you."
Wu Fangzi had no choice but to go over and bow again. The Empress seemed to have forgotten to call her, so she asked her in a friendly manner, "Where did you meet our Sanlang?"
Wu Fangzi could only lower her head and said, "It's just... I've only seen him a few times in the palace."
"Don't think too much," the queen said with a smile, "Yan Sanlang is my own son, we can talk in private, there is no need to be so formal."
She smiled and said, "I'm asking you, do you like our Sanlang? If you don't like him, I won't randomly match you up."
No matter how good Wu Fangzi's thoughts were, when the time came, she couldn't help but feel frightened. She forced herself to look shy and was very stiff.
Jin Yu said gently: "It's not easy to answer! Our little prince is not very happy!"
Wu Fangzi was slightly startled when she understood what she said.
...
...
She laughed hastily and said, "Your Highness, Fangzi...Fangzi is very fond of Yan Sanlang..."
The Queen smiled and said, "Are you serious?"
"Of course it's true."
The Queen clapped her hands and smiled, "I feel relieved when you tell me this. Others have told me that you don't like Sanlang, saying that the marriage was all your father's idea, and he repeatedly asked the Yan family for it. The Yan family was touched by your sincerity and agreed."
It turned out that it was Daddy who asked for it? How could he do this!
Wu Fangzi couldn't help feeling embarrassed and angry.
The Queen continued, "Marriage is the decision of parents and matchmakers. Any polite young lady should understand this principle. Now that I have asked you in person and heard your accurate answer... it's a good opportunity to spread it out and give these people a slap in the face!"
The female official then understood the Queen's intention in asking her to say those words. She was secretly frightened and lowered her head.
Wu Fangzi was a little anxious.
She didn't notice anything wrong with the queen's attitude. She was just thinking, if Yan Liangchou heard this rumor, how sad and upset he would be!
Wu Fangzi said anxiously: "Madam, Fangzi is shy. If this gets out... Fangzi will be too embarrassed to see anyone."
"What's the big deal?" The Queen said with a smile, "If word gets out about our Sanlang's character and family background, others will only envy him."
Wu Fangzi begged, "My Lady!"
The Queen changed the subject and said, "I called you here today for another matter."
She paused and said, "You have been in Chuxiuyuan for so long, do you recognize Ye Qingwan?"
Wu Fangzi's face froze slightly.
Ye Qingwan has a good family background and good looks, and she also looks like Wu Fangzi, who is exotic and charming. The two of them didn't get along from the first day, and every time they met, they were like enemies and were extremely jealous of each other.
Wu Fangzi said, "I recognize him."
The queen smiled and asked, "What do you think of this girl?"
Wu Fangzi hesitated for a moment and said, "Although I haven't had much contact with her, I often hear about her affairs. She is very lively."
This method of putting on eye drops was considered to be very crude in the palace.
The key point is that at this time, this person still has the mind to flatter others. I have to say, he is quite self-centered.
The queen acted as if she hadn't heard anything and smiled, "She seems to be a lively girl. It's a good thing that you like her. You will be sisters-in-law in the future. You should remember your sisterhood and get along well with each other..."
Wu Fangzi was stunned for a moment, and asked anxiously: "What do you mean, Madam?"
"Hmm?" The Queen smiled and said, "Commander Yan came to the palace to ask for permission, so naturally he asked for both sons. Sanlang and Liangchou are both grown up. Liangchou is a bit quiet, so it's just right for him to be paired with a lively girl..."
Wu Fangzi was jealous, hateful and angry at the same time, and blurted out: "No!"
Jin Yu shouted, "How dare you! How dare you talk to the Empress?"
The queen also stepped back and looked at her with a smile.
Thinking of Ye Qingwan's charming look, Wu Fangzi was filled with jealousy and hatred. She could not help herself and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, I... my true love is Yan Liangchou! Not Yan Shitu! Your Majesty, I dare to ask Your Majesty to take back your decision! Your Majesty and I love each other, and I would rather die than marry Yan Shitu!"
Jin Yu shouted, "What nonsense!"
"I'm not talking nonsense!" Wu Fangzi suddenly raised her head, her eyes seemed to be burning with flames of war, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, you don't know that although Yan Liangchou is nominally the adopted son of the Yan family, the Yan family has been suppressing him many times and excluding him everywhere. Yan Liangchou has been struggling and his situation is pitiful. Until now, he is only a small lieutenant in the Yulin Army. They didn't even invite him to the old prince's birthday..."
Yan Shiyue listened quietly, tapping his fingers on the table subconsciously.
It's not that she is bold, nor that she is not clear-headed, but that white lotus like Yan Liangchou is most effective against this kind of people.
If you switch genders, it's actually very easy to understand.
Many men will suddenly develop an endless desire to protect a pitiful white lotus when they see her. No matter what others do, they will think that they are bullying her and want to seek justice for her like a savior. In front of her, they will feel that they are indomitable and can be so passionate for her that they will risk the world's condemnation...
If this is a delicate lady, no matter how much stimulation she receives, it can only bring out some maternal instinct.
But this martial artist is a "heroine" who thinks she is as good as any man. When she sees him so pitiful, she will naturally become inspired and stand up to fight against the whole world for him... She is so moved that she bursts into tears.
Wu Fangzi spoke passionately for a long time, telling all the grievances that Yan Liangchou had suffered over the years. The huge palace was silent and everyone looked at her as if she were a clumsy clown.
Wu Fangzi was angry and anxious: "Everything I said is true! If you don't believe it, you can check it out! Your Highness has a feud with him, and everyone in the world knows it! Bullying people like this is not what a gentleman does!"
The queen said coldly: "Slap him!"
The nanny next to her said, "Yes!"
She immediately stepped forward, swung her fist, and slapped him.
Wu Fangzi exclaimed in surprise: "My Lady!"
Someone else stepped forward and held her down.
The Queen said, "Ask her!"
The nanny asked, "The marriage of children is decided by the parents and the matchmaker. Do you know that?"
Wu Fangzi was both ashamed and angry, and struggled violently.
She was good at martial arts, and there were only palace maids around, so she really managed to break free. Immediately, several strong maids rushed in and held her down tightly, so that she could not struggle free anymore.
The nanny slapped him again and asked, "Do you know?"
Wu Fangzi said angrily: "Even if you beat me to death, I will not marry Yan Shitu!"
The queen sneered, "You are such a tough nut to crack!"
Jin Yu said, "My Lady, tell them to go down and deal with it. Why dirty your eyes?"
The queen nodded silently, and several people dragged her away.
The questions from the nanny still rang out: "You lied to the queen and went back on your word. Do you know your crime?"
"You have framed Her Royal Highness the Princess with unfounded facts and have spoken rudely to her. Do you know your crime?"
The Queen said coldly: "This Yan Liangchou! He is really an ungrateful wolf who can never be tamed!"
Yan Shiyue smiled and said, "It's true that he is an ungrateful person, but this was definitely not Yan Liangchou's idea. If Yan Liangchou knew about this, he would probably be scared to death. This can be regarded as him acting too much, which led to unforeseen consequences."
She calmed herself down and said, "Mother, tell them to keep their mouths shut. When the beating is over, send her back and tell them to explain everything she did and what she was going to do."
The queen nodded, and someone gave the order.
