Zhang Wenxiu brought Zhang Guifen to the study. The British father-in-law and his wife were also there, for fear of hearing bad news.

"Uncle, aunt, fortunately you have lived up to your fate!"

Zhang Wenxiu said with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Huan agreed and said that he would enter the palace tomorrow to take care of the matter."

The British father-in-law and Zhang Guifen breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

The British duke was silent. Seeing that his nephew had nothing to say, he couldn't help but ask: "What request did King Huan make?"

Zhang Wenxiu shook his head: "Your Highness didn't mention anything. He agreed after listening to what I said."

"what?"

The British duke looked at his nephew in surprise, but he didn't see any hint of joking.

The British princess asked him to tell him everything that happened.

After Zhang Wenxiu said it once, he put forward his guess.

"Queen Mother?"

The British Duke fell into deep thought.

I have to say that King Huan's performance really exceeded his expectations.

But if the Queen Mother was interfering in the situation, King Huan's reaction would make sense.

After all, from King Huan's point of view, it would be best to marry Shen Yuzhen to the Zheng family.

The British father-in-law and his wife were both led astray by Zhang Wenxiu's ideas, even though they had heard about Shen Yuzhen.

But because of his aloof temper and unwillingness to take sides, Shen Yuzhen was never invited even to a banquet, and he did not understand the other party's temper at all.

The British couple met the queen, and she was really gentle.

I just feel that as the queen's biological sister, how bad can Shen Yuzhen be?

I never imagined that King Huan was afraid that Shen Yuzhen would harm the good Zheng family!

The British father-in-law and his wife looked at each other, feeling extremely complicated.

In particular, the British Duke changed his mind about King Huan greatly.

On the other side, after Zhao Ceying sent Zhang Wenxiu away, he returned to the backyard and informed Mo Lan about the incident.

Mo Lan raised her eyebrows: "Fortunately, the queen mother knew how to talk to the Zheng family first, otherwise it would be difficult to reverse the order if she directly issued the order."

Zhao Ceying was silent and couldn't help complaining: "My mother has always loved Shen Yuzhen and thought she was an outstanding girl. No one in Yuzhou came to propose marriage, so why did my mother think that the Zheng family would really like Shen Yuzhen?"

Mo Lan smiled faintly: "Humans, when it comes to the people you like, you can't always treat them fairly."

"I'm going to have a hard time arguing with my mother tomorrow."

Zhao Ceying sighed, he couldn't let Mo Lan do this kind of thing.

"Why do you need to find the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother has always liked her as a girl. If you tell her, she will think you are biased. It's up to you to decide whether you can listen to it or not. The Queen Mother is not clear about government affairs and will always have her own opinions on some things. Selfish."

Mo Lan looked at him with a smile: "Why don't you go to your father tomorrow and ask him if he wants to make enemies or get married? Even officials can't just match up with each other. What's more, you must be cautious when dealing with important officials in the court. "

Zhao Ceying suddenly woke up.

Yes, the Queen Mother sometimes has a soft ear and can't always understand some truths.

Even if she explained the political relationship to her, the queen mother would probably think that marrying Shen Yuzhen into the Zheng family was a way to win over the other party.

Because the queen mother would never think that Shen Yuzhen's temper would mess everything up!

But if the father does not agree, it will be useless no matter how wishful thinking the mother has.

But Zhao Ceying hesitated: "My father may not know about this matter. If I inform my father, I am afraid that my mother will be blamed..."

It's good to blame her. She just wants this mother-in-law to be reprimanded so that she won't be confused all the time.

Mo Lan thought this in her heart, but the smile on her face became gentler.

"Husband, what are you talking about? If I almost did something wrong, how angry would you be? Husband and wife are one body, how can there be any overnight feud? Besides, if you can't explain to the mother, the father will know about it sooner or later. . Only then will your father be caught off guard! It would be better if you told her in advance, and if you throw the matter on the Queen Mother like you just did, how can your father still be angry with your mother? "

When Zhao Ceying heard this, he thought it made sense and immediately agreed.

Early the next morning, Zhao Ceying went to court and went to the officials to mention the matter.

Sure enough, the officials had no idea about this.

When Zhao Ceying asked whether he wanted to get married or become enemies, he looked confused.

When she heard that the queen was trying to break up the marriage between the British government and the Zheng family and wanted to marry Shen Yuzhen to the Zheng family, she couldn't help but get angry: "Nonsense!"

The situation of the official family at this time is different from that in the play.

In the play, he is held hostage by the Queen Mother at every turn. Although he is an official, he cannot even do what he wants to do.

Therefore, he could only make a series of moves, not only to pursue the title of his biological parents, but also to force the decree to marry the British official's daughter to Uncle Shen, in an attempt to gather power through the marriage of Yuzhou's old officials and important officials in the court.

All this is to force the Queen Mother to delegate power.

But now the official family, under Mo Lan's idea, forced the Queen Mother to no longer listen to politics behind the curtain. Although they have not yet obtained the jade seal, at least they have greatly weakened the Queen Mother's power.

And because he has Mo Lan as his daughter-in-law as a bond, he has a good in-law in the Sheng family.

Through the Sheng family, many forces have been gathered, and even the British government has begun to gradually gather forces.

Moreover, he heard that Sheng Hong was looking for a marriage for Mo Lan's brother recently, so he thought it was another powerful force.

Such an official family is no longer as isolated and helpless as it was when they first ascended the throne and were held hostage by the Queen Mother.

Therefore, the official family is now sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and with a stable mentality, they will naturally not make any controversial moves.

Treating the same thing, the views and attitudes are naturally different from those in the play.

Others don't know, doesn't he know what kind of temperament Shen Yuzhen's sister-in-law is?

She is not even worthy of carrying shoes as the legitimate daughter of an English father-in-law.

The Queen's current behavior is like someone who is about to get a gold brick, but she comes up and tells the other party forcefully, "Don't ask for the gold brick, I have a very beautiful copper plate for you!"

Who would be willing to let this go? !

Seeing that the official family was angry, Zhao Ceying blamed the Queen Mother for everything.

It is only said that the queen mother is not well-informed and may have been deceived.

Most of the official's anger was gone.

But despite this, he couldn't help but feel angry.

He knew that Mr. Shen was not smart enough. If he was not smart enough, he had to be self-aware. How could he still make his own decisions?

Fortunately, Ying Ge'er and Mo Lan, a pair of good sons and daughters-in-law, were there to help, otherwise the officials thought they would be worried and their hair would turn gray.

The official waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I will tell your mother personally."

Zhao Ceying breathed a sigh of relief and left.

The official thought for a while and went straight to Mr. Shen's place.

At this time, Mrs. Shen was telling Shen Yuzhen how good General Zheng was, but the officials happened to be listening.

"What is the Queen talking about? Why did I vaguely hear the name of the Zheng family?"

The official walked in expressionlessly.

Mrs. Shen came over happily.

"I was just about to tell you! I have found a good match for Yuzhen, and it is the young General Zheng of the Zheng family. Even my younger brother said that this is an excellent candidate. What do you think of the official family?"

The official's face instantly turned cold, and he ignored Shen Yuzhen's presence and said unceremoniously: "I don't think so!"
