Chapter 9: This imperial aunt has double happiness and is in a good mood
Su Yurou's mind worked quickly, and she soon realized that she had figured out Yun Qingqing's trick and accused her on the spot.
She knew best how much the prince hated Yun Qingqing, and she fully expected him to speak up for her.
Xiao Zirui's eyelids were twitching wildly. Although the Regent had been paralyzed and blind for a few years, his power was still overwhelming, and his name as the God of War was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He hadn't even secured the position of Crown Prince yet, so how could he offend him at this critical juncture!
Looking at Su Yurou's face that was almost swollen like a pig's head, he became even more furious and rushed up to slap her!
"Don't stop talking!"
Su Yurou was stunned by the slap.
Xiao Zirui pointed at her nose and scolded:
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever propose marriage to the Yun Mansion? Those betrothal gifts were borrowed by the Imperial Uncle to propose marriage to the Imperial Aunt. When did it become your turn to talk nonsense here? Why don't you apologize to the Imperial Aunt right now?"
“W-what… is this… how could this be?!”
Su Yurou was completely stunned.
That ugly girl was obviously trash that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't even bother to look at, but how did she become the Emperor's aunt in the blink of an eye!
At this moment, the Queen spoke:
"In that case, Su Yurou was indeed wrong in this matter. She made unwarranted accusations against the Regent Princess without knowing the reason. She should apologize sincerely."
Su Yurou's face was pale and swollen. She was extremely reluctant but had no choice. She could only pinch her palm tightly, suppressing her hatred and whispering:
"I was wrong about what happened today. I apologize to you..."
Yun Qingqing glanced at her coldly:
"You apologize to your elders so lightly, is this the good upbringing of your Su family?"
Su Yurou's face was burning, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked like she was being bullied. She bit her lips tightly.
Prime Minister Su wanted to plead for his daughter, but he saw the Regent put down the cup with a bang and snorted coldly.
His eyelids jumped, and he immediately stepped forward and kicked Su Yurou's calf, angrily saying:
"Why don't you kneel down and kowtow to the Emperor's aunt and apologize!"
Su Yurou was kicked and fell to her knees on the ground with a plop. She looked at the Prime Minister in disbelief, but heard him lower his voice and say:
"You've offended the Regent. Do you want to kill my whole family?"
Su Yurou's heart trembled, and she could no longer care about anything else. She gritted her teeth and kowtowed, saying:
"I was wrong! Auntie, please be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"
Yun Qingqing smiled and waved her hands:
"That's what a good niece should do. As the Imperial Aunt, I'm in a good mood because today I'm celebrating the double happiness of breaking off an engagement and getting engaged. I'll be magnanimous and forgive you this time!"
Su Yurou was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and her nails were about to break her palms.
Xiao Changheng listened to the little girl's words, which were obviously a way of taking advantage of her. He lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea slowly, covering the corners of his mouth that could not be suppressed.
Xiao Zirui was so angry that his liver hurt. This was clearly a woman he looked down upon, so why did she seem so happy now that the engagement had been broken off?
Do you think that this will make you change your mind and look at her more? What a joke!
He clenched his fist, took a step forward and said:
"Father, I have something to ask today. I hope you will grant me and Su Yurou a marriage!"
The emperor heaved a sigh of relief and nodded:
"Alright, today was supposed to be the day you two got engaged. Well... since there have been some setbacks along the way, I will make the decision and grant you two your marriage."
He pondered for a moment and said:
"Let's set the wedding date as well. How about the eighth day of next month?"
The Su family's father and daughter showed joy on their faces and quickly knelt down to express their gratitude. At the same time, they felt relieved that they had not lost the position of Crown Princess.
Xiao Zirui thanked him, but did not leave immediately.
He glanced at Yun Qingqing meaningfully, then turned to Xiao Changheng and said respectfully:
"My nephew's wedding is on the eighth day of next month. The Crown Prince's Mansion awaits your arrival!"
Yun Qingqing watched Su Yurou lower her head to hide her smug expression, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
Haha, this scumbag deliberately invited his ex-girlfriend to his wedding. What good intentions could he have?
She immediately spread her hands and said:
"Even though I can't go to celebrate with the Crown Prince, I think the eighth day of next month is a good date, and I plan to set the wedding date on that day!"
Xiao Zirui's expression paused:
"But I heard that the Emperor's uncle wants to welcome the Emperor's wife into the palace tomorrow?"
"You also said that my prince is just thinking about it. It hasn't been decided yet, right?" Yun Qingqing rolled her eyes at him, turned around and looked at Xiao Changheng with a smile:
"Your Majesty, His Majesty said that the eighth day of next month is a good date. That must be right. How about we set that day for our wedding?"
Xiao Zirui and several people from the Su family's faces changed.
What a joke! The prince’s wedding is such a grand event, all the civil and military officials in the court will come to congratulate!
But if the Prince Regent also got married on the same day, who in the court would dare not show up to support him? Wouldn't the Crown Prince's Mansion be left out in the cold?
Xiao Zirui was so angry that he almost scolded Yun Qingqing for deliberately picking a fight, but he held back.
He thought bitterly in his heart that Yun Qingqing was so stupid that she actually thought she could influence the regent's decision. Little did she know that her behavior would only make him disgusted!
She doesn't have to do anything, just wait for the Regent to scold her for being ignorant!
