With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly

Xi Qiu's eyes widened, "Princess, that's such a coincidence."

If it weren't for Master Ruan, the princess would not have been able to buy the cakes that the Grand Princess wanted that night, and she didn't know how the Grand Princess would punish her.

She was now grateful to Ruan Ningan.

Yuan Qianqian smiled and said, "It's quite a coincidence. I didn't expect that he was from Beijing and I would meet him here."

As she spoke, her face was filled with a smile and tenderness that she herself was not aware of.

Xi Qiu saw it and felt something was wrong.

The princess’ expression was just like the eldest princess’ expression when she looked at Emperor Shang.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, shocking her.

She asked tentatively, "Princess, you don't like that Mr. Ruan, do you?"

She just asked this question, but she didn't expect her princess's face to quickly turn red, and she looked shy. With such a reaction, she didn't believe it even if the princess denied it.

However, Yuan Qianqian did not deny it and said "hmm" shyly.

Xi Qiu frowned. That young man did seem to be one in a million in terms of both appearance and attitude towards others, but the princess was here to marry a foreign prince.

"Princess, you..." She didn't know how to persuade the princess.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Yuan Qianqian held her hand and said, "Xi Qiu, I know what you want to say. It's just that I can't control my heart. When I first saw him, he was reflected in my heart."

"I know it's impossible for him and I to be together, so I will keep this love deep in my heart."

Xi Qiu hugged Yuan Qianqian, his face full of heartache.

The princess has had a very hard life. She suffered a lot in the past, and now she is being used as a tool for marriage and cannot even be with the person she loves.

After telling Xi Qiu about her worries, Yuan Qianqian felt much more relieved.

She knew that her fate was in the hands of others, and today she had the opportunity to have lunch with the person she loved and chat with him for the entire afternoon. She no longer had any regrets.

The next day.

Yuan Anchen and people from other countries went to the palace again to discuss the marriage with Shang Yue.

There were more than a dozen people from nine countries. This time they united together for the same purpose, and they looked very aggressive.

Shang Yue sat at the head of the table, looking very relaxed about their arrival. He asked directly, "What important matter has brought you to the palace today?"

The envoys in the hall all looked at Yuan Anchen. Yuan Anchen had the most say among them, so they could only wait for him to speak.

Yuan Anchen lived up to everyone's expectations and spoke, "Your Majesty, we are here today to arrange a marriage. We brought our most noble and beautiful princess with us, hoping to establish a lasting friendship with the Shang Dynasty."

The others nodded in agreement with him.

"Prince Duan is right. We sincerely hope to make friends with the Shang Dynasty. I hope the Shang Emperor will give me this opportunity."

Wang Dequan looked at his own emperor and saw that his face was calm and he couldn't tell what he was thinking, but he knew that even if these people forced him, the emperor would not compromise.

Shang Yue had a calm expression as he scanned the people in the hall one by one. Some of them looked anxious, afraid that Shang Yue would refuse again.

He leaned back and opened his thin lips, "Tomorrow at 9:00 pm, go to the Imperial Palace Martial Arts Training Grounds. Bring princesses from various countries with you. I will give you an answer."

When everyone heard that the Shang Emperor was going to agree, they instantly showed joy on their faces.

They automatically ignored the fact that Shang Yue asked them to go to the martial arts training ground tomorrow, thinking that Shang Yue had his reasons for doing so.

"Then we won't disturb Emperor Shang." Yuan Anchen got the answer he wanted and stood up and left.

Others also left one after another.

As soon as Yuan Anchen returned, he ran into Yuan Yingtang in the yard.

Seeing that he looked good, she felt a little nervous.

"Royal brother, how was the result today?" She knew that her royal brother had come to the palace again today to discuss the marriage. Judging from her royal brother's expression, today's negotiations should be smoother.

"Emperor Shang agreed." Yuan Anchen automatically understood Shang Yue's words to mean this, otherwise he would not have said that he would give an explanation.

Yuan Yingtang's complexion became visibly worse.

She was both happy and unhappy.

The good news is that the bitch Nan Yan finally doesn’t have to be favored by such an outstanding man like the Shang Huang.

What makes Yuan Qianqian unhappy is that she is going to marry the man she likes.

Yuan Anchen knew at a glance that she had not given up on Shang Yue. Fearing that she might do something, he reminded her, "Tangtang, the marriage is a serious matter. You can't be willful."

Yuan Yingtang was already in a bad mood, and after hearing what he said, he felt even worse.

"Brother, am I such a person who doesn't care about the overall situation?"

Yuan Anchen wanted to answer yes, but was afraid that she would be upset. He could only pat her on the shoulder and said with a smile: "My brother knows that you are a person who considers the overall situation."

Yuan Yingtang snorted coldly and left.

Yuan Anchen didn't care. As long as she didn't do anything to ruin the marriage, it was okay for her to have a little temper.

The envoys from various countries returned to the post station and informed their princesses that Shang Yue agreed to the marriage, and the post station suddenly became chaotic.

Princesses from various countries instructed the palace maids to choose the clothes they would wear tomorrow, the jewelry they would wear, and what kind of makeup they would put on.

At the same time, officials of the second rank and above in the capital received news that they were to bring their unengaged male relatives over the age of sixteen to the palace tomorrow.

The Ruan family, which is the Yiyong Marquis's mansion, also received the news. The only one in their family who met the requirements was Ruan Ning'an.

At this time, several masters of the Ruan family were sitting in the living room, and Mrs. Ruan, who was sitting at the top, had her brows slightly frowned.

She looked at her sons and daughters-in-law and asked, "What do you think the emperor means by this? Why does he want men over sixteen years old to enter the palace?"

Ruan Sui'an thought for a moment, glanced at his brother and said, "I heard that envoys from various countries came to the palace today to discuss marriage. I guess the emperor's decision to allow male relatives to enter the palace is related to the marriage!"

The emperor is not planning on filling his harem, and the envoys are pressing him hard, so he has no choice but to use this method.

"Sui'an, you mean..." Although Mrs. Ruan didn't finish her words, they all knew what she wanted to say.

She looked at Ruan Ning'an with some worry. She had always been very lenient with her children's marriages. As long as they liked the boy with good character, it didn't matter even if he came from a humble family.

Ning An is the only child left in their family, and he has always had his own ideas.

If he were to marry someone he didn't like, I'm afraid he would never be happy in the future.

Ruan Ning'an gave Mrs. Ruan a soothing look.

"Mom, don't worry too much. You know, the emperor is not the kind of person who forces others. I guess the emperor will only grant the marriage if both parties are willing."

Mrs. Ruan was too nervous just now and didn't think too much about it. But after hearing what Ruan Ning'an said, she suddenly understood.

Yes! The emperor never forces anyone.

After she figured it out, she stopped worrying.

She looked at her outstanding little son and said, "Ning'an, whatever you want to do tomorrow is fine."
