Female Master: The Cold Prince

Xiahou Jiuyue was a little surprised. She had also heard of the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He was an outstanding person.

However, was Xiahou Nuanxi's move a sincere proposal or was it intentional?

Does she know that her current actions are putting herself and her father into the center of public opinion?

Such unwise behavior should not happen to her.

On this side, the person being proposed to in public had a pale face and his body was shaky, as if he was about to faint on the ground in the next second.

How could this happen? He had clearly explained everything to her, why did she still do this?

Some were happy and some were sad. After learning who the wise king wanted to marry, the men present were secretly delighted.

You know, in the entire capital, their most competitive opponent is the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

If he was really granted marriage to the virtuous king, it would be a great thing. In this way, they would have one less strong opponent.

Then the positions of Princess Crown and Prince Chen would be in their pockets.

Everyone looked at the Queen on the platform with fiery eyes, hoping that she would issue an edict to grant the marriage as soon as possible.

Only with the imperial decree granting the marriage could they truly feel at ease.

Feng Jun winked at the princess calmly, and Xiahou Zhiruo immediately understood. Just as she was about to stand up, she was interrupted.

"Your Majesty, this old minister has something to say."

Prime Minister Wen shouted at this time, and hurriedly walked to the side of the virtuous king and knelt down.

When the queen saw her, she felt relieved.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, she was worried about not being able to find a reason to reject her eldest daughter's marriage proposal, and the prime minister was really understanding.

"Oh? What does the Prime Minister want to report?" the Queen asked knowingly.

If the prime minister refuses the marriage proposal, she can just follow his lead.

She was not surprised at all that the prime minister looked down on her eldest daughter. Everyone knew that the prime minister was ambitious.

"Your Majesty, what I want to report is that Your Highness the King suddenly asked for marriage today, which made me feel very frightened. At the same time, I would like to thank Your Highness for your love for my son."

"But I cannot agree to this marriage, because I have already arranged a marriage for my son many years ago. I have no choice but to refuse the marriage. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." Prime Minister Wen said in panic.

"!!!" Upon hearing this, there was an uproar around.

The queen was quite surprised that the old man didn't want his son to marry the virtuous king and could even say such words.

Even if the virtuous king was not powerful, she was still the daughter of Xiahou Shaohua, of royal blood, yet she was despised by this old man.

No matter how precious her son is, can he compare to her daughter?

Not to mention the little son of the prime minister, even if he was a prince from another country, her daughter could still marry him.

"Oh? Why have I never heard you mention this?" The Queen said with her eyes slightly gloomy.

"Your Majesty, the cause of this incident was that ten years ago, my son went out for a trip and encountered danger, and almost lost his life."

"Just when the situation was extremely dangerous, a girl suddenly appeared and saved him. The child is out of danger." Prime Minister Wen said nervously.

The look in the Queen's eyes at this moment was so terrifying that it frightened her.

"As you said, my dear, will you give her your son as a reward for saving my life?"

"That's right. I only found out about this after the girl escorted my child back to the mansion."

"I have taught them since they were young that people should be grateful and repay kindness. Even a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of water. Moreover, this time they saved my child's life."

"So, I arranged this marriage for the two of them. When they come of age, they can have the wedding ceremony."

As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen's face changed color and everyone fell silent.

This old thing dared to refuse a marriage proposal for an unknown woman. Does she still have the emperor in her eyes?

This is not a rejection of marriage, it's clearly a slap in her face!

Xiahou Nuanxi seemed to be struck by lightning and was unable to recover for a long time.

Wen Jueshang's face was pale, and he looked at his mother's back with shock and worry.

Xiahou Jiuyue, who was watching the show, almost laughed out loud. The Prime Minister's words were full of loopholes, and she didn't believe that her mother couldn't hear them.

"Mr. Prime Minister, why have I never heard Shang'er mention it?"

Xiahou Nuanxi found it hard to accept. How could a person like that be betrothed to someone just like that? She couldn't accept it.

"Your Highness, this matter was all an agreement between this old minister and that woman, and I know nothing about it."

"I originally wanted to tell him the truth when he came of age, but I didn't expect such a misunderstanding to happen. It is my fault. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

She and the virtuous king have always kept to themselves. Now that he has slapped her in the face like this, she must have been deeply offended. I am afraid that she will be suppressed in the future.

But if I were to marry my son to her, she still wouldn't want to.

Although the virtuous king is outstanding in appearance and talent, he is still inferior to the Crown Princess Chen Wang.

Not to mention, she had no power in the previous dynasty and no help from her maternal family. Although her father had been conferred the title of noble lord, he had no foundation and was not favored by the empress, so it was difficult for him to achieve anything.

After listening to what his mother said, Wen Jueshang felt mixed emotions.

"In that case, it's a pity that our royal family has missed out on an excellent son-in-law." The Queen pretended to be regretful.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Master Wen's talent is unmatched. But the Prime Minister's previous words really frightened me. If it weren't for that woman, the consequences would be disastrous." Feng Jun echoed, with a gleam in his eyes.

"That's right, my dear! Who is that little girl? She is so young, but she has such ability." She sneered in her heart.

She wanted to see how this old man would make up a story.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I cannot reveal the identity of this woman. Back then, I promised her that as long as the two of them have not fulfilled their marriage contract, I will not make her identity public. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." Prime Minister Wen said.

The queen laughed out loud, this old man was really as cunning as a fox.

He speaks very logically and impeccably, and after going through the whole process, he still doesn't forget to praise himself.

She is a truly powerful prime minister.

The Queen and Prime Minister Wen spoke incessantly, completely ignoring the parties involved in the audience.

Xiahou Nuanxi's face turned pale. She looked at the friendly woman on the platform. Deep disappointment flashed across her eyes and her heart was cold.

Does her mother, the queen, look down on her like this?

Xiahou Jiuyue saw the resentment in her eyes and narrowed her eyes slightly.

The queen on the platform naturally saw it as well, but she said nothing.

This marriage proposal drama ended with Prime Minister Wen's rejection, and Xiahou Nuanxi finally left the banquet with a sad look on her face.

Seeing her distraught figure, Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that Xiahou Nuanxi really fell in love with that man.

Prime Minister Wen returned to his seat, and Wen Jueshang's eyes were red.

"Mother."

"Okay, let's talk about it when we get back." Prime Minister Wen sighed.

After this incident, everyone was no longer as casual as before, but became restrained instead.

The Queen's face looked unhappy, and no one dared to show it too much.

They all felt that time was passing too slowly and was too hard to bear.
