Or perhaps, even if she dared to grant the marriage, those people would probably not be willing to recognize it.
So at times like this, the emperor still has to step in.
After everyone paid their respects, the emperor sat down on the main throne, with the empress beside him.
After telling the emperor about the people she had arranged marriages for, the emperor nodded with satisfaction.
Everything was agreed upon beforehand, and now we are just going through the motions.
Duan Qingxi also grew up in the upper class, and she had seen some of these things quite often, so she knew everything clearly.
The queen and the emperor whispered to each other for a while, and then the emperor looked at everyone.
Even with a smile on his face, that awe-inspiring aura had already penetrated into people's hearts. Everyone was terrified, afraid that they might not do something well and anger the ruler of the world.
The Queen said, "I think these children are quite good, especially the young ladies from aristocratic families... They are all beautiful and virtuous. Why not find a marriage for the Third and Fifth Princes as well? After all, they are already grown up."
Here it comes, the highlight is here!
The emperor nodded, seeming to think this suggestion was good.
He looked at the Third Prince Helian Cheng and said, "Cheng'er, I see that Master Zuo's daughter, Zuo Xinya, is gentle and virtuous, and possesses both talent and beauty. How about granting her to you as his principal wife? What do you think?"
Helian Cheng had no right to refuse, and besides, he would marry anyone he wanted, so he naturally would not take the risk of offending his father.
So he stood up and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I am naturally very satisfied, but I dare not make a decision on my own. I have to see what Miss Zuo thinks."
He had long known that Zuo Xinya had a close relationship with his fifth brother, so he made things clear today to avoid any trouble in the future.
Zuo Xinya's face turned completely pale and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Seeing this, Helian Yun quickly stood up, saluted towards the emperor and empress, and said anxiously: "Father, mother, I, your son..."
"Yun'er..."
Before he could finish his words, the Queen smiled and said to him, "Didn't I tell you last time that you're not young anymore and it's time for you to get married. But there's no need to rush. The Emperor and I will consider it carefully for you."
This sounds harmless, but it contains a hidden threat.
Helian Yun's expression became strange when he heard this. He froze there and didn't dare to say another word.
Seeing this, Zuo Xinya knew that she could no longer refuse her marriage to Helian Cheng.
The emperor looked at Zuo Xinya and asked, "Miss Zuo, I would like to marry you to the Third Prince. Are you willing?"
There was a hint of threat in these words, so Zuo Xinya naturally didn't dare to say no.
Otherwise, it would be considered as disobeying the imperial order, and the entire family and even the nine clans would be implicated by her.
"Your servant...is willing!"
Duan Qingxi was watching the fun from the side and was extremely excited!
In her previous life, this scumbag and bitch showed off in front of her, and used all kinds of emotional ethics to kidnap her, making it seem as if she was the mistress.
Later, she accidentally dropped their child and was accused of being cruel and cruel for not even letting a child go. She has been living a very depressed life.
In this life, God is fair enough!
Zuo Xinya had been secretly married to the Third Prince a long time ago, and both of them knew it very well, but they secretly got together during the hunting meeting!
If it weren't for the constraints of this feudal society, I'm afraid they wouldn't even have children, just like in their previous life.
But now that they are forced to separate, Duan Qingxi is still quite satisfied and will not let them dare to be arrogant in front of her again!
True love is not an excuse to destroy someone else’s self-esteem!
The Third Prince is a prince after all, but he has a green patch on his head for no apparent reason. Even Duan Qingxi feels angry.
