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

Ever since the Emperor agreed to consider establishing a queen, all the major officials in the capital have been keeping a close eye on every move in the palace.

Today, when Madam Chen, the wife of the Minister of War, was summoned into the palace by the Empress Dowager, it caused quite a stir in the capital.

The eldest daughter of the Chen family, Chen Ruolan, married the son of the Yiyong Marquis, Ruan Sui'an. The second daughter was only eight years old and still young. Although there were three or four concubines of the right age in the family, their status was not worthy of the position of queen.

Everyone was guessing the Queen Mother's purpose.

Mrs. Chen, who was summoned into the palace, was also confused.

"Your Highness pays homage to the Queen Mother."

"Mrs. Chen, please take a seat."

After seeing Madam Chen sit down, the palace maid placed the prepared tea on the table next to her.

The Queen Mother did not beat around the bush and said directly, "To be honest, Madam Chen, I summoned you to the palace today because I have something to ask of you."

Madam Chen was chosen by the Queen Mother after comprehensive consideration, and she was trustworthy in her character.

Mrs. Chen was a little flattered by the Queen Mother's politeness. She hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. It is my honor to work for you. Please just say whatever you want."

"I want you to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and ask Nan Yan for marriage."

Go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage? To whom? Zhao Shiyun?

In an instant, Mrs. Chen had a lot of thoughts in her mind, and the only thing she could think of was the Queen Mother's nephew.

Zhao Shiyun is eighteen years old this year, which is just the right age for marriage.

"Queen Mother, are you proposing marriage to the eldest son of the Zhao family?"

The Queen Mother shook her head and said, "No, it's for the Emperor. The Emperor wants to marry Nan Yan from the Nan Family as his empress, so I want you to go to the Nan Family to propose marriage for the Emperor."

What? Propose a marriage to the Emperor?

Mrs. Chen's eyes widened instantly and she looked at the Queen Mother.

Fortunately, she was not holding the teacup, otherwise, she would have been so frightened that she would have dropped the cup directly to the ground.

"Mrs. Chen, don't be suspicious. I'm not joking."

Mrs. Chen nodded in a daze.

Throughout history, this is the first time that the emperor has personally sent someone to propose marriage to the empress, which shows how much he values ​​Nan Yan.

After a while, Mrs. Chen recovered and said firmly to the Queen Mother, "Don't worry, Queen Mother. I will do it well."

"Thank you for your hard work, Madam Chen." The Queen Mother smiled and said, "I have already picked a date. Three days from now will be a good day. I have already found a matchmaker. Nanny Wang will also be there at that time. You can go together."

Madam Chen left the palace holding a box of rewards bestowed by the Queen Mother.

Apart from Minister Chen, Madam Chen did not tell anyone else the purpose of the Queen Mother summoning her into the palace.

Many court officials secretly sent people to inquire about the news, but unfortunately, not to mention the servants of the Chen family, even the young masters and young ladies didn't know why Madam Chen was summoned to the palace.

three days later.

Ruan Yurou received a group of special guests.

A nanny serving the empress dowager, the mother of a niece's wife, and a matchmaker. This combination seems strange no matter how you look at it. I don't know how they could get together.

She didn't think it had anything to do with the emperor.

Firstly, if the emperor had a crush on a girl from a certain family, he would have directly issued an edict to make her his queen. Secondly, they all thought that the emperor was considering making her his queen just as an excuse to appease the ministers in the court, which was not true at all.

"Mrs. Chen, Nanny Wang, and Matchmaker Liu, right? Please take a seat."

After everyone was seated and the maid brought tea and pastries, Ruan Yurou spoke.

"I wonder why you are here today..."

Madam Chen smiled and said, "To be honest, Madam Prime Minister, we are here today to propose marriage to Miss Nan from your family on behalf of the Emperor."

When proposing marriage to the emperor, Ruan Yurou suspected that there was something wrong with her ears and she must have heard it wrong.

How long has Yan'er been back in the capital? First of all, let's not talk about why the emperor suddenly proposed to Yan'er. In the past and present, there has never been an emperor who proposed to a minister. He always issued an order directly.

Ruan Yurou smiled and said, "Madam Chen, Nanny Wang, please stop joking with me."

Nanny Wang: "Madam Prime Minister! We are not kidding you, our emperor! He values ​​Miss Nan so much that he allowed us to come and propose marriage like ordinary people."

Matchmaker Liu waved the handkerchief in her hand and agreed with a smile, "Yes, Madam Prime Minister, Nanny Wang is right. Our emperor! He values ​​Miss Nan. The emperor is dignified and noble, and Miss Nan is kind and elegant. In my opinion, they are a perfect match."

Liu the matchmaker only found out in the morning that the person who invited her was the Queen Mother, and that she was proposing marriage to the Emperor. She was so excited that she almost fainted.

Fortunately, I have recovered a lot now.

She is the only one who has ever mentioned marriage to the emperor.

Mrs. Chen also smiled and nodded.

Ruan Yurou looked at Madam Chen, at Nanny Wang, and then at the matchmaker. They all looked serious and definitely not joking, so she had no choice but to believe them.

She had never thought that her daughter would marry the emperor.

In the past, she could directly reject those who proposed marriage. But today, the Queen Mother asked someone to propose marriage to the Emperor. It was just as Nanny Wang said, this meant that she valued Yan'er, and it was not ordinary value.

So can you refuse?

The master was not in the house today, so the only one who could talk was Yan'er. Ruan Yurou suddenly stood up and gave an apologetic smile to the people in the room.

"Mrs. Chen, Nanny Wang, Matchmaker Liu, I'm sorry, I have to leave you for a moment. Please sit down and have some tea and some snacks. I'll be right back."

The emperor sent someone to propose marriage, which meant there was room for negotiation, and she had to ask Yan'er for her opinion.

Madam Chen: "Madam Prime Minister, please do as you please."

Ruan Yurou instructed the nanny and maid to take good care of the guests, then left the front yard and went straight to Nan Yan's yard.

As soon as she entered Nan Yan's yard, she panted and said hurriedly: "Hu...Hu...Where is your young lady? Hu...Hurry up and let her come out. I have something to tell her."

She was out of breath and almost fainted after she finished speaking. She walked to the stone bench in the yard, sat down, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

When Nan Yan walked out of the study, she saw her mother, who was usually gentle and dignified, acting rudely.

"Mom, drink slowly, be careful not to choke."

Nan Yan already knew from the system that the Queen Mother had sent someone to propose marriage, and she also understood why Ruan Yurou came to her.

She sat next to him and pretended not to know, "Mom, why are you so anxious?"

At this time, Ruan Yurou had recovered.

"Yan'er, someone came to propose marriage again today. But this time the person proposing marriage is different, so I can't just reject him. Mother wants to ask for your opinion. If you don't agree, your father and I will find a way to reject him."

"Who is it, mother?"

"It's the Emperor."

Ruan Yurou tried to see an expression of shock and confusion on her daughter's face, but she was disappointed. Nan Yan's face was exceptionally calm.

She even said calmly: "Mother, I think this marriage is a good one."

Ruan Yurou held Nan Yan's hand, frowned and said, "...Yan'er, don't say this because you are afraid of being punished by the Emperor or the Empress Dowager. You have suffered enough in the past. Mother hopes that you will be happy."

"Mother, I am telling the truth. I really think this marriage is a good one. The emperor is handsome, dignified, and manly. I like him very much."

Nan Yan looked serious at this moment, and it was obvious that she was telling the truth.
