The emperor pointed at Qiao Ran with murderous intent on his face and said, "Take this..."

"emperor……"

Qiao Ran interrupted the emperor's words calmly, and this disrespectful behavior made the court officials admire her.

"What else can you say?"

The emperor glared at the audacious peasant girl with displeasure.

"Your Majesty, I was engaged to the Prince of Dingbei yesterday. If you don't believe me, you can ask my father, or go find the Prince of Dingbei to testify."

"If you lie, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"I know I can't lie to the emperor, so I told the truth. On his way back to Beijing, the prince mentioned the engagement to my father, so the next day he asked the old prince to bring the official matchmaker to my home to propose marriage. Everyone in Qingshui Village knows about this, and I believe many people in Beijing know about it, after all, the old prince and the prince brought a lot of betrothal gifts."

Qiao Ran's words made the emperor even more angry.

What does Dingbei Palace mean? They told me they wanted to form an alliance with the Qiao family just the day before yesterday, and they got engaged yesterday?

Is this to protect yourself?

Fortunately, I still wanted to take the initiative. As long as the imperial decree of marriage is issued, no one can disobey it.

But I didn't expect that these two families would arrange the marriage in such a hurry without my knowledge.

In this way, even if he was the emperor, he would not be able to break up an arranged marriage.

The emperor was so angry that he had begun to grit his teeth.

If they had known earlier, they should have summoned the father and daughter to the palace early yesterday morning. Then they would have no reason to refuse the marriage.

At this point, the emperor could not force the woman to break off the engagement and marry his son, so he could only say angrily:

"That's a good thing. Han'er is my nephew. The fact that you can marry him just shows that he has the same vision as me and we both discovered you, a pearl covered in dust! If you had made it clear earlier, I wouldn't have thought of bringing you and Prince Ping together."

The emperor gave a few dry compliments and found a way out for himself.

In this way, the matter of arranged marriage came to an end.

As if to make up for it, the emperor rewarded Qiao Ran with a pile of gold, silver and jewelry.

Bama entered the palace carrying a wicker basket and came out carrying the basket again.

However, the things in the wicker basket have been replaced with gold, silver and jewelry bestowed by the emperor.

After leaving the palace, Qiao Ran saw the prince still waiting at the palace gate.

"Why are you still here?"

Qiao Ran asked the person who came towards her.

Mo Beihan's nervous expression relaxed a little when he saw that they came out safely.

"I won't feel at ease until I see you come out safely. How is it, the emperor didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Thinking of the Emperor's aggressiveness just now, Qiao Dajiang's face turned unhappy, and he snorted and said:

"The Emperor wants to marry Ran Ran to Prince Ping as his concubine!"

"What? How is this possible? The Emperor clearly knows that I want to be engaged to you!"

Mo Beihan exploded when he heard this and asked anxiously:

"And then? How did you deal with it? The Emperor wouldn't really grant you a marriage, would he?"

At this time, the morning court had already ended and officials began to come out one after another.

Seeing these people at the palace gate, many people cast their concerned glances over there, and some even deliberately walked closer and passed by them, wanting to listen to what they were talking about.

Qiao Ran glanced at the increasing number of people at the palace gate, shook her head at Mo Beihan, and said:

"No, don't worry. There are too many people here, let's talk about it somewhere else!"

"Okay, let's go to Juxianlou, and I'll treat you to breakfast."

"You haven't had breakfast yet?"

Qiao Ran asked in surprise.

Mo Beihan scratched his head: "No, I came out early in the morning, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to wait for you."

"Then let's go! I'm a little hungry too. Dad, let's go to Juxianlou and sit down!"

Qiao Ran turned and asked Qiao Dajiang.
