With a word of joy, everyone understood what Emperor Jingyuan meant.

Princess Changle's maternal ancestors were weak, so they were not afraid that their marriage to Lizhou would increase their strength. Moreover, once Qu Baiyu agreed to become the consort, he would have to stay in Shangjing.

Although King Lizhou seems to be cruel to Qu Baiyu on the surface, who doesn't love his child? What's more, Qu Baiyu's mother and King Lizhou are childhood sweethearts, and they are both beautiful and ill-fated Bai Yueguang.

It is said that Qu Baiyu also looked too much like the deceased wife of King Lizhou. King Lizhou missed her more and more every day, so he cruelly sent her over immediately.

Emperor Jingyuan naturally knew about it and trapped Qu Baiyu in Shangjing City and gave him all kinds of honors and favors. Now as long as he gives him another princess and keeps him, he can keep Lizhou in check.

"Chang Le is gentle, respectful and cautious, making him a good match..."

Queen Qu smiled and said, as if she was very satisfied.

She looked back at Qu Baiyu and urged, "Abao, why don't you thank me quickly!"

Wen Gong Shu Shen? Yuan Tong'er frowned when he heard this. How did Queen Qu see that Changle was gentle, respectful and careful?

She couldn't help but look at Princess Changle sitting on her side.

Chang Le was indeed sitting upright with her head bowed and silent at this time. It was very different from the time when she was in a strange mood at the palace gate. She actually looked a bit gentle and respectful.

He also saw her secretly raising her eyes, glancing towards the opposite side, and the blush on her cheeks showed that she was really interested in Qu Baiyu.

Queen Qu is Qu Baiyu's biological aunt and represents her natal family. She spoke, and her parents' fate was settled. Everyone at the table began to congratulate in low voices.

An indescribable feeling spread in Yuantong'er's heart. She turned her head, not wanting to look or hear one more time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Qu Baiyu replied.

"It's just that A'bao already has his heart set on something, and I'm afraid he's not good enough for sister Yue'er."

The noise around him fell into silence with his words.

Yuan Yue'er's drooped head suddenly lifted up.

"who is it?"

she asked.

After saying that, he realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly stepped back and lowered his eyes.

Emperor Jingyuan was looking at them with relief, but suddenly he felt a little unhappy when he heard Qu Baiyu's words.

But since Qu Baiyu has something he likes, as long as it's not from a wealthy family, he can satisfy him. He wondered: "Who does it belong to?"

Everyone was holding their breath and concentrating, and they all wanted to know which daughter of the richest family could make Prince Yu, who "passes through hundreds of flowers without leaving a leaf behind," miss him.

Qu Baiyu paused and looked at Yuan Tong'er opposite.

"Sister Ruian, are you willing to marry me?"

Everyone in the main hall was silent, and even the person involved, Yuan Tong'er, looked at him in shock.

How dare he?

Everyone knows that behind Yuantong'er now is the entire Nanliang, and it is Emperor Jingyuan who wants to use it to check and balance Lizhou.

Emperor Jingyuan wanted to choose a son-in-law for Yuantong'er today because he wanted to use the marriage alliance to support the power of Nanliang, balance the gap between Nanliang and Lizhou, and better become another sword in the hands of Emperor Jingyuan.

Everyone could see what Emperor Jing Yuan meant, and Qu Baiyu was no exception.

He knew that Emperor Jing Yuan would never give Yuan Tong'er to him, even if it was a noble girl from a slightly influential family.

But he just pretended not to understand, stared straight at Yuan Tong'er with a pair of blazing eyes, and continued: "I was shocked when I first met my sister. Now I miss my sister so much that I can't eat or sleep... …”

There was a "pop!", whether intentional or not, Queen Qu's wine cup fell to the ground, interrupting Qu Baiyu's words.

Emperor Jingyuan's face had long been gloomy, but he couldn't say anything directly to Qu Baiyu, so he vented his anger on Queen Qu.

"Is the Queen so drunk now that she can't even hold the wine cup? If she's too drunk, go back and rest!"

Anyone can tell that these words are meant to criticize Sang and Huai.

Queen Qu stood up and glanced at Qu Baiyu, shaking her head slightly at him.

Qu Baiyu's eyes moved slightly and he looked at Yuan Tong'er again.

When Emperor Jingyuan saw that Qu Baiyu's eyes had never left Yuan Tong'er, his expression became even more serious.

"I'm afraid Prince Yu will be disappointed!"

Yuan Guoer, the eldest princess of Heshun, had been watching the show for a while and couldn't help but speak.

"Didn't Sister Ruian say that? I don't want to marry you yet, but I want to serve my father. Is it possible that she will change her mind for you?"

He has an expression of not being too big a deal to watch the excitement.

Emperor Jingyuan narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. Yuan Guoer's words reminded him.

Qu Baiyu was not reckless, how could he be so enamored of a woman he had just met? Could it be that the two of them have been linked for a long time?

"The eldest princess is joking. It's my business to yearn for His Highness, and it's also my business to ask for marriage. I won't force my sister Ruian on whether she changes her mind, but I will definitely wait."

Qu Baiyu's two words almost blocked Emperor Jingyuan's mouth.

The young Mu Shaoai had no reason at all, not to mention that Qu Baiyu had a reputation as a romantic in Shangjing City, and it was normal for him to fall in love with a woman at first sight.

Qu Baiyu could propose marriage in public, but Emperor Jingyuan could not refuse openly.

His eyes were calm, and a chill passed through his heart. He really indulged this boy too much!

His anger was already visible to the naked eye, but he could only control his emotions and turned his attention to Yuan Tong'er.

"Ryan, what do you think?"

She had said before that she did not want to marry, so Emperor Jingyuan gave her the important task of rejecting Qu Baiyu.

Qu Baiyu's blazing eyes stayed on Yuan Tong'er, making Yuan Tong'er couldn't help but look back at him.

With just such a glance, the melancholy like clear smoke in Qu Baiyu's eyes disappeared in an instant, and under his thick black eyebrows, his eyes were like soft moonlight.

But when Yuan Tong'er just glanced at him and then moved his eyes away, the flower that had bloomed in his heart suddenly withered again.

Why did she only glance at him so lightly?

The hall was as quiet as ever, everyone wanted to see how the newly promoted Princess Ruian would deal with it.

Like a hot potato being thrown into his hand, Yuan Tong'er hesitated.

She understood what Emperor Jing Yuan meant and seemed to have left the decision to her, but Yuan Tong'er had no choice.

Even though she is a very popular princess, enjoying the people's food and the city, there is only one thing she cannot decide, and that is what the king has determined.

This is Shangjing City, at the feet of the emperor, and behind Qu Baiyu there is the entire Lizhou. As long as it does not involve rebellion, he can break things and make jokes. Emperor Jingyuan gave him this right from the beginning.

But Yuan Tong'er can't do it. Not to mention that she is still a fake and can't be too ostentatious. Even if he is his biological son, he cannot be disobeyed easily. The emperor is the emperor, and accompanying him is like accompanying a tiger...

She suppressed her emotions and no longer dared to look at Qu Baiyu.

"...My son is still young...I still want to serve in front of my father..."
