The situation suddenly became tense.
Two chosen sons of heaven proposed to marry at the same time. Such a coincidence has never happened before.
The young ladies from the Beijing circle who came to the palace with their parents to attend the dinner were extremely envious and looked at Meng Guxue one by one.
How come such a blessing fell upon her?
It is undeniable that Meng Guxue's talent is indeed unmatched, but she is not very old, and she does not have a stunning appearance. Do outstanding men value talent so much?
Moreover, even if she were engaged today, we would have to wait another two or three years before getting married.
The Second Prince and the Third Prince are so deeply in love with Meng Guxue that they are willing to wait for even three years?
In such occasions, people dare not whisper, but this does not prevent them from secretly "flirting"!
At this moment, Qiao Jiaojiao seemed to see hundreds of eye contacts communicating across the air!
Emperor Yong obviously had not made up his mind, so he did not speak for a long time.
The Crown Prince boasted that he knew something about the Second Prince.
He didn't believe anything about the admiration or love.
Last time in front of the emperor, didn't my second brother also say that he liked Miss Sheng? Now there is no news about Miss Sheng!
But he also found it hard to imagine that there was something on Meng Guxue that his second brother must have.
However, no matter what my second brother wants, we must not let him succeed!
Father must have been deeply touched by the high-profile appearance of my second brother just now.
The Yong Dynasty is now strong and has nothing to fear from the Nanli Kingdom. This marriage is not extremely necessary.
Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid that my father is more inclined towards my second brother.
Thinking of this, the prince's mind raced and he immediately looked up at the queen.
He has no way of intervening in the current situation and can only place his hopes on Meng Guxue.
Take a look at her choices first!
When the queen met the prince's eyes, there was no need for words between mother and son. Moreover, the queen was intelligent and insightful, and she understood what he meant instantly.
"Your Majesty, the Second and Third Princes both adore Miss Meng so much. Since you can't make up your mind, why don't you ask Miss Meng for her opinion first?"
The queen broke the deadlock with her direct words.
"It is natural for young men to admire each other, but it is a beautiful thing only when both of them are in love with each other."
"I believe that no matter what choice Miss Meng makes, the Second and Third Princes will be able to accept it."
Emperor Yong was still a little hesitant after hearing this, but Baili Chengyou immediately agreed:
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. I also want to know Miss Meng's feelings. If Miss Meng likes your country's second prince, I will naturally not force her."
Baili Chengyou knew that the Emperor of Yong loved the country more than the beauty. Because of the death of Princess Yuliu, he was extremely good to Shen Yuanbai!
In the dream, the prince died suddenly, the Qiao family was wiped out, and Shen Yuanbai was able to ascend the throne as emperor, all thanks to this biased emperor who turned a blind eye and even paved the way for him at the risk of being deserted by his friends and relatives!
Although the reality has deviated a little bit now, Emperor Yong is willing to lock up Shen Yuanbai in the clan house, but the human heart is hard to predict!
If he did not agree with the Queen, Emperor Yong would most likely reject him and directly promise Meng Guxue to Shen Yuanbai!
Since the Queen and Baili Chengyou said so, Emperor Yong glanced at Shen Yuanbai and nodded.
"According to what the Queen said, where is Meng Guxue?"
Mrs. Meng trembled all over when she heard this.
She was really scared.
My daughter has been restless since her personality changed drastically. If I let her marry into the royal family, something bad will happen sooner or later!
Not to mention the marriage alliance with Nanli Kingdom, wouldn't that be the end of her life as a mother?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng held Meng Guxue's hand tightly and shook her head gently with tears in her eyes.
Xueer, you can't choose anyone!
Some wealth is beyond our reach. Being able to live in peace is already a great blessing for being born as a human being!
Meng Guxue looked at Madam Meng's worried and sad face, and saw the tears in her eyes, which made her heart ache.
When she lowered her head just now, she thought about a lot, from the day she traveled through time to today.
In the era she lived in, she was really too ordinary, so ordinary that she would be lost in the crowd.
She was unwilling to be ordinary, but she had to admit her ordinariness.
No one knows why God chose her. She traveled through time and space and became the most special existence in the old era from an ordinary girl.
She has read too many novels and dreamed countless times of becoming the heroine, a Cinderella who makes a comeback and is admired and loved by countless people.
When this opportunity really came, she tried her best to show herself and chose a shortcut without hesitation.
——Depend on a strong and high-quality man.
That dream appeared to her when she returned home from a poetry reading last year, when she was most frustrated and disappointed.
The dream clearly told her that she was the undisputed heroine of this world!
After that dream, her self-confidence and sense of superiority swelled to the limit, driving her to approach the Second Prince like a moth to a flame.
However, after overhearing the interaction between the Second Prince and Yu Zhaoyi behind the rockery that day, she still felt a little disappointed and wary.
So when the second prince wanted her poems, she took it to heart and changed the font from then on.
Otherwise, if the Second Prince took out those poems today and charged her with the crime of privately passing them on, she might be directly accused of being the Second Prince's concubine, not to mention the Second Prince's wife!
Witnessing Han Yaxian nearly being poisoned tonight made her feel cold all over and extremely frightened!
This incident was like a slap in the face, making her realize completely that there is an insurmountable gap between dreams and reality.
In her dream, her Shen Lang loved her dearly and was perfect, but in reality, the Second Prince was cruel and ruthless and would do anything to achieve his goals!
As for Baili Chengyou, the second male lead who loved her deeply in the dream, he also came with a lot of calculations in mind.
She happily thought she had a better choice, but she didn't expect that he already knew all her cards clearly!
She thought her dream would finally come true and she would become the glamorous heroine in the novel, but she didn't expect that she would fall hard in the face of reality!
Meng Guxue felt sad and no longer had the joy of currying favor with the rich and powerful.
She gently squeezed Mrs. Meng's hand, unable to bear looking at her eyes any longer, and slowly stood up.
"Here is your servant."
Meng Guxue responded softly and walked into the hall under everyone's attention.
Qiao Jiaojiao saw with her own eyes Meng Guxue walk forward and stand between Shen Yuanbai and Baili Chengyou.
At this moment, Qiao Jiaojiao suddenly realized that she had missed something.
When she was guessing Meng Guxue's choice just now, she also thought about whether it was possible for Meng Guxue to awaken the pride of a time traveler and choose no one.
But now it seems that she was wrong.
When Shen Yuanbai and Baili Chengyou proposed to her at the same time, Meng Guxue had no third choice.
If she chooses no one, Shen Yuanbai and Baili Chengyou will not agree, and Emperor Yong will not agree either.
In this era, above the imperial power, a mere daughter of an official family is really insignificant.
It was such an honor to have two princes propose to her at the same time. If she, Meng Guxue, did not choose anyone, she would be ungrateful and would be slapping the face of the royal family!
Thinking of this, Qiao Jiaojiao looked at Meng Guxue, who looked particularly petite standing between Shen Yuanbai and Baili Chengyou, and couldn't help sighing in her heart.
[At this moment, has Meng Guxue truly realized the cruelty of this era, realized the evil of human hearts, and reflected on his own stupidity and arrogance? ]
