Ye Zhen was so angry he laughed!
Is the Empress planning to keep Yin Yue and Wan Xing in Da Yuan as hostages so she can control her?
But she was not under the Empress's control.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but Wanxing and the other person are already engaged. I am afraid I cannot obey your order, lest Your Highness be branded as a troublemaker."
The messenger frowned as she looked at Ye Zhen.
No wonder the Empress dislikes Ye Zhen more and more.
This man dared to disobey even the Empress's decree, and said with a forced smile, "Oh? I hadn't heard that the two young ladies were engaged before. Could it be that the Princess didn't like the person Your Highness had chosen and was just making up an excuse?"
Ye Zhen didn't even bother with a perfunctory response and directly called Xing Ze in.
“If your nanny doesn’t believe your affair with Wanxing, talk to her about it.”
Xing Ze knew why the old woman had come, and he was already angry.
He had just gotten Wanxing to agree to marry him a few days ago, and they were just waiting for their master to get married. But the empress was going to give the girl he had finally chosen to someone else.
Does the mother of a nation have the right to do whatever she wants?
Having witnessed the Crown Prince's hardships, Xing Ze already harbored some resentment towards the Empress, so his tone wasn't very friendly.
“Granny, Wanxing and I have exchanged betrothal tokens with the master’s consent. Wanxing is now my fiancée. Please, Granny, be lenient and don’t try to steal my wife away from this old bachelor.”
Although the words were spoken of as a nanny, everyone knew that they were actually referring to the Empress.
At the same time, they were telling the Empress that their marriage was legal as long as their master had given his approval, and Ye Zhen was their master, so there was no need for others to interfere.
The old woman's brows furrowed even deeper.
Ye Zhen was disrespectful to the Empress, even her servants dared to mock her in this way, so the Empress turned cold.
"Guard Xing, do you know what the consequences will be for deceiving the Empress?"
Xing Ze was very confident that the Crown Prince would side with him in this matter, so he was very confident. "Although I am just a servant, I know that marriage is not a child's play, so I will not talk nonsense."
"If you don't believe me, Granny, just wait and see at my and Wanxing's wedding banquet."
Seeing his confident tone, the old nanny thought that the marriages of servants were indeed not as elaborate as those of ordinary people, and that the two of them probably had a long-standing connection.
Then the focus shifted to Yin Yue, "What is Miss Yin Yue's engagement?"
Wanxing and Yinyue are both people Ye Zhen cares about. If the Empress keeps them, she won't be afraid that Ye Zhen won't come back.
The two young men chosen by the Empress are both her people. Their future after marriage depends entirely on the Empress's mood.
If Ye Zhen wants them to live well, they have to fawn over the Empress. No matter how powerful their maternal family is, once a woman is married, she has to be subservient to her mother-in-law.
The Empress did this because she was forced by Ye Zhen; otherwise, how could two maids be worthy of the Empress's arranged marriage?
But they still don't know what's good for them.
The old woman snorted inwardly. If she could keep Yinyue, she would consider her mission accomplished.
The Empress said that Ye Zhen treats these two maids like sisters. As long as we control them, we won't have to worry about Ye Zhen not bowing down.
Yinyue was also disgusted by the Empress.
She was about to say that she was engaged in southern Jiangsu, and the Empress couldn't possibly send someone to investigate.
Before Fu Guang could speak, she said, "So that the old lady may know that Yin Yue is my fiancée, and it is not appropriate for her to marry someone else."
Yin Yue, "..."
How could she not know?
But if it can block the Queen's path, then so be it.
Previously, the young lady had said she would find her a good marriage, as she had no interest in getting married. Unexpectedly, this has now become a means for the Empress to restrain the young lady.
Thinking of this, she agreed, "I already have a fiancé, so it is indeed inconvenient for me to marry someone else. Besides, Wanxing and I are both Miss's personal maids, so we will be wherever Miss is."
My lord told me that the royal family of Great Wei only has one precious daughter, my young lady. They might not want her to come back, so naturally we will stay in Great Wei as well.
If we agree to the marriage arranged by Her Highness, wouldn't that be harming the other party? I hope you will forgive me, Granny.
I cursed inwardly.
Pooh!
Out of consideration for the Crown Prince, the young lady was unwilling to continue arguing with the Empress, but unexpectedly, the Empress was still shameless.
The old woman left with a dark expression.
Fu Guang stammered as he explained, "The incident happened so suddenly, I... this was the only method I could think of."
But... but I do indeed admire Miss Yinyue, and... I wonder if Miss Yinyue would be willing to marry me?
After spending so much time together, especially during their trip to Jiangnan, he really liked Yin Yue's calm and unrestrained nature and decided to marry her.
However, he was reserved by nature and afraid that Yin Yue would not like him, so he thought he would take it slowly. But the Empress's actions today made him realize that he could not wait.
That's why he said that. Now that he had said it, he might as well reveal his true feelings in public, so as not to tarnish the girl's reputation.
Xing Ze's eyes lit up.
His usually reserved older brother finally spoke up. As someone with experience, he had already figured it out: his brother had fallen for Yin Yue.
I thought it would be a long time before he confessed his feelings, but I didn't expect the Empress to actually help me out.
Yin Yue was a little confused.
Is it true?
She was as rude as a man, yet a man liked her, and he was a decent man at that.
The moonlight seemed to float slightly.
But seeing this, Fu Guang thought it meant she disagreed, and she stammered even more, "I...I...I will be...be good to you. Master comes first, you come second, and Aze comes third..."
He was really anxious, and having never had any feelings for anyone, especially in front of so many people, he didn't even know what he said.
My tongue and brain were completely out of my control; after I finished speaking, I really wanted to slap myself.
His face turned a deep liver color.
Xing Ze's smile froze.
Does my brother have to move to a lower position now that he's married?
