The empress is pregnant, and the emperor's incense continues

Looking at Chen Dingbei's haggard face, the pain in his eyes seemed to be overflowing. Meng Wen Yao sneered in her heart. It seemed that all men were like this. It was obviously him who fell in love with someone else first, but when they parted, he could still pretend to be affectionate.

She didn't want to see Chen Dingbei pretending to be affectionate, she just wanted to ask for the original owner's sincerity, and then the two of them would end completely.

"We have known each other since childhood. Even if we can't be husband and wife, I think we can still be good friends. I just want to ask you one question, is it because you no longer have me in your heart that you started to like Mingyuan, or is it because you started to lose me in your heart after you fell in love with Mingyuan?"

If the two of them have been together for too long and Chen Dingbei no longer feels the same excitement as before and falls in love with someone else, then Meng Wenyao has lost to love.

Although love is beautiful, it is always fleeting. She accepted her defeat by love.

If Chen Dingbei lost interest in Mingyuan only after he fell in love with her, then Meng Wenyao succumbed to human nature.

Then just think of it as her being blind before, to actually fall for this kind of stuff. There is nothing to be sad about such a feeling.

After waiting for a long time for Chen Dingbei's answer, Meng Wen Yao was almost frightened when she turned around. Chen Dingbei had actually knelt on one knee, holding his head high with slightly red eyes.

"I have never liked Mingyuan. You are the only one in my heart from the beginning to the end."

Meng Wen Yao was shocked. She knew that men would pretend to be affectionate before breaking up and then make it clear that they had to separate. She didn't expect Chen Dingbei to be so good at pretending.

At this time, even if Chen Dingbei said that he had her in his heart, she would not dare to believe it. It was probably just a parting gift.

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt it was meaningless. If a man changed his mind, then it was fine. What would it matter if she asked him again?

She sighed: "It's all in the past. It's better not to talk about the past."

Meng Wenyao stood up and was about to leave when she suddenly found Chen Dingbei holding her sleeve. A tear fell down her cheeks: "There is no past. From now on, I will only have you in my heart. We will sleep together in life and die together."

Meng Wenyao was annoyed. She asked people to spread rumors in order to stimulate Mingyuan to marry no one but Chen Dingbei. How did this stimulate Chen Dingbei? Didn't he like Mingyuan?

"What do you mean? You've already given the golden hairpin to Lady Mingyuan, why are you still saying this now?"

Meng Wen Yao was a little angry. This guy was acting too much.

"No," Chen Dingbei said sadly, "The hairpin was not given by me. Mingyuan took it away by himself. I can't take it."

Only a fool would believe this. What does the hairpin mean? If Chen Dingbei didn't tacitly agree, it would be strange if Mingyuan could take it away.

Perhaps seeing Meng Wenyao's disdain, Chen Dingbei continued to explain: "I approached Mingyuan a few days ago just to hook up with Mingshi, not because I liked Mingyuan, but I didn't expect it to get to this point. I really only have you in my heart, and I only want to marry you."

"Humph, humph," Meng Wenyao sneered repeatedly and asked, "So what?"

"Let's go to the emperor together and ask for his permission to marry me, okay? This way Mingyuan won't misunderstand me and won't bother me anymore."

Meng Wen Yao was completely confused. She carefully observed Chen Dingbei's expression and it didn't seem like he was joking.

So what is going on now? The rumor spread, but Mingyuan clearly took action. Could it be that Mingyuan gave up on Chen Dingbei, so Chen Dingbei came back to find her?

Why should she want it if Mingyuan doesn’t want it?

No, Chen Dingbei seemed to say that Ming Yuan was pestering him.

Meng Wenyao suddenly realized that Chen Dingbei did not want to marry Mingyuan, and wanted to drag Meng Wenyao with him to slap Mingyuan in the face. As long as the emperor granted the marriage, Mingyuan would vent his anger, and it would most likely be on the Meng family. Then Chen Dingbei would go back to Mingyuan and confess his feelings, saying that he was forced by the Meng family, thus successfully diverting the blame.

Chen Dingbei is using the Meng family to block Mingyuan's attack!

Meng Wen Yao felt cold all over instantly. She originally thought that Chen Dingbei had fallen in love with someone else, but now it seems that there is a 99% chance that he no longer has the original owner in his heart, otherwise he would not have pushed the original owner out like this to make Mingyuan vent his anger.

"Okay!" Meng Wenyao slowed down her tone and said with a half-smile, "As a girl, how can I go with you to ask the emperor for a marriage? Go ahead, I'll wait for your good news."

She knew that Chen Dingbei would definitely not dare to go over, otherwise Mingyuan would know that the Zhenyuan Marquisate looked down on her. By then, when Prince Mingshi of Jing was in power, Mingyuan would definitely avenge today's humiliation.

Besides, if Chen Dingbei really wanted to marry her, he would have gone directly to the emperor to ask for the marriage. Instead of coming to the Meng family to brainwash her, he just wanted Meng Wenyao to take the lead and rush to the front to make Mingyuan hate her.

She won't be fooled.

Sure enough, after hearing what Meng Wen Yao said, Chen Dingbei hesitated.

"The Queen's hairpin was just put on Mingyuan's head a few days ago. Today I will go and ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage. The Emperor and the Queen must have thought that I was wavering. But if Yao'er is with me, the Emperor and the Queen will know that we are childhood sweethearts and our love is stronger than gold, so they will agree to grant the marriage."

This calculation is really loud and clear. Meng Wen Yao must have no attachment to Chen Dingbei now. She took a serious look at the original owner's childhood sweetheart and knew that the relationship of more than ten years has been exhausted at this moment.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Go back, I'll think about it."

Now that this has happened, she needs to think carefully about how to win over the emperor.

No matter how much Mingyuan regards her as a thorn in his side now, as long as she enters the palace and gives birth to a child for the emperor, Mingshi's position as the crown prince will no longer be possible.

However, considering the relationship between the emperor and the queen, Meng Wen Yao had to guard against the emperor sending his future child to the queen to raise. After all, the queen had no children now, and the emperor had to adopt a son for her.

It would be best if we could alienate the relationship between the emperor and the queen before the baby is born.

Chen Dingbei watched Meng Wen Yao fall into deep thought, thinking that Meng Wen Yao was finally moved by him. He returned home happily and replied to the Zhenyuan Marquis and his wife.

"Yao'er is somewhat moved, but girls are shy. Maybe we have to wait for two days before she will take the initiative to go with me to ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage. Then I will ask her to speak in front of the emperor. As long as the marriage is granted, Mingyuan will never marry me again."

Marquis Zhenyuan nodded and said, "After the marriage is granted, you will find a chance to explain it to Mingyuan. Just say that it was the Meng family who forced you to do something out of an old favor, and you had no choice but to agree in front of the emperor. If she wants to hate someone, she can just hate the Meng family."

Madam Hou swept away the past haze and said happily: "This woman's jealousy is mostly directed at other women. As long as Mingyuan turns his hatred to Meng Wenyao and the Meng family, even if Mingshi becomes the crown prince or the emperor in the future, I think he will not make things too difficult for our Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion."

Marquis Zhenyuan nodded and told Chen Dingbei, "Even if you and Meng Wenyao get married in the future, you still have to protect Mingyuan and pretend that you are in love with her but are not destined to be together. Otherwise, if she hates you, things will be difficult to handle."

"My son is awake. I gave her the hairpin, but I didn't marry her. She must be feeling resentful. I will control her thoughts and prevent her from taking it out on our family." Chen Dingbei vowed.
