After crossing, I was miserable.

Chapter 340 Marriage Grant

The Queen watched Madam Yang glance at her daughter and didn't think much about it, just thinking that she was thinking about it.

"Do you know why I came here today?"

The Queen looked around and saw that everyone was standing with their backs to each other. She said softly,

"I have heard from the Emperor himself that he wants to marry the Fourth Prince to your daughter!

This should have been a great joyous event.

The Fourth Prince is elegant and handsome, and your daughter is gentle, kind, well-educated and sensible. It's a match made in heaven and is truly enviable.

But I think you know something about the Fourth Prince's situation."

The queen lowered her voice as if someone was eavesdropping and continued,

"In fact, some of the rumors are not false. This child grew up under my care. He has an aloof personality and is not easy to get along with. He is deep-minded and has no family connections.

I’m afraid that you, a girl, will suffer if you marry him.”

Madam Yang looked at the Queen in confusion.

"What does this mean?"

In fact, the Queen was not very satisfied and was not willing to let the lost daughter of the Yang family be her daughter-in-law. The reason why she said that before was because she wanted to comfort her good friend.

But unexpectedly, the emperor would personally arrange her marriage with the fourth prince, saying that it was a match made in heaven.

The emperor never cared about the fourth prince, and she was in charge of all matters.

Especially regarding marriage, I had asked before what kind of family I wanted to find, and I was told to just follow her instructions.

What was the result? The fourth prince was extremely reluctant!

However, what was unexpected was that when she was unaware, the two men had actually arranged this marriage behind her back!

This was like a bolt from the blue, hitting her hard in the heart.

How could she not feel angry and aggrieved when she thought that two people could actually reach an agreement on something in private while she was kept in the dark like a fool?

She even suspected that this was what the emperor had planned from the beginning, and that the two of them were just putting on a show for her.

This feeling was like being betrayed, making her heart break and furious!

When she learned about this, she felt as if there was a ball of blazing fire in her chest, rising continuously, as if it was going to devour the entire world.

And the one decided was Lord Yang, which made it even harder for her not to think too much.

An unpopular prince, whose mother was still in the cold palace. For such a prince, the emperor actually gave him the daughter of his most trusted minister and close friend as his wife!

This move is really puzzling and it is hard not to arouse speculation and imagination.

Therefore, even though she didn't agree in her heart how much help Madam Yang could bring to her son, she didn't want to give it to the Fourth Prince.

I don’t know why, but I just don’t want to do it.

In fact, she thought about it carefully last night and realized that Lord Yang was not a very good helper because his relationship with the emperor was too good.

Therefore, he was destined not to become a member of any prince's party.

However, she felt very uncomfortable because the Emperor and the Fourth Prince had decided this matter behind her back.

Madam Yang actually knew about this a long time ago. Although the Queen was her good friend, she did not presumptuously inform her daughter because of her status. Besides, her daughter agreed to this matter, so she had nothing to say.

But she didn't know that the queen didn't know about this. Her doubt was,

"Is there anything wrong with this?"

But from what the Queen heard, even Madam Yang didn't know about this matter, and was asking what the matter itself meant.

"I only found out about this last night. The Emperor told me this himself. Because it happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to tell you.

I want to question you face to face now. The imperial edict has not been issued yet. If you are unwilling in your hearts, I can go and beg His Majesty to change his mind and revoke the order!

After all, this matter is of great importance and must not be acted rashly. As a member of the palace, I should put the overall situation first, but I will never bear to see anyone fall into trouble or suffer unfair treatment because of this decree.

So if you really have any difficulties, just tell me and I will do my best to help you. But I don’t know what you think? Do you really want me to go and plead for you?”

Now Madam Yang was even more surprised. How could the Queen tell her so much?

The two people have been able to maintain their friendship from handkerchief acquaintances to the present day. There is one thing that is very clear about both of them, that is, they almost never talk about "court affairs".

The main reason was that Madam Yang was very sensible and never asked about the emperor's favor or other matters.

The two people met just to reminisce about the past.

Occasionally, when the queen came to her for something, she would never ask too many questions and would just follow the rules.

But as time went on, Madam Yang thought she knew how to get along with the queen, but the queen gradually thought that Madam Yang had become one of her own.

So, sometimes the way we act and speak gradually changes.

However, Mrs. Yang was still very clear-headed and knew how to get along with him.

Mrs. Yang glanced at Qian Duoduo again. Qian Duoduo had been keeping his head down, listening respectfully to the conversation between the two people, acting as a good background board.

"Why don't you say something? You're making me anxious. You don't have to keep looking at her. After all, marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers. What can she understand?

What are your thoughts? Do I need to ask the Emperor to take back his decision?" The Queen was actually anxious, without the dignity and reserve of a Queen.

"Please?" This word always sounded so harsh to Mrs. Yang's ears.

Madam Yang looked at the Queen and immediately understood her intention.

As expected! No matter how deep and sincere the friendship was, once it involves one's own interests, it will be torn into pieces like a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing, and can never be put together again.

It seems that all the beautiful memories and vows and promises made before were just an illusory dream that could not withstand the slightest test of reality.

Madam Yang showed an appropriate smile.

"Your Majesty, you are such a joke! How dare I, a subject, be so bold as to ask His Majesty to change his mind and withdraw the imperial edict?

I have Lord Yang at home, how dare I do this?

But then again, if we can really marry the prince, it would be considered a marriage of high status for us.

After all, the prince is of noble status, and being able to become a relative of the royal family is the greatest honor for my family and others."

Madam Yang brought up her husband, Lord Yang, and sure enough, the Queen, who had been impatient just now, immediately calmed down.

He sat there in silence, lost in thought.

Madam Yang was also smart and stopped talking, giving the Queen time to think.

"It is what I thought. For such an important matter, it is better for Lord Yang to step in."
