The next day.

When three hundred loads of betrothal gifts were carried from the imperial palace to the Nan family, everyone knew the purpose of the empress dowager summoning Madam Chen into the palace.

It turned out that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had sent someone to the Nan family to propose marriage in person, and they had also personally proposed marriage today.

Whether it was sending someone to propose marriage, or personally offering the marriage proposal, or the three hundred loads of dowry, all of it showed that the Emperor and the Empress Dowager had a special and special regard for Nan Yan.

She was the only queen in the two hundred years since the founding of the Shang Dynasty for whom the emperor and empress dowager sent people to propose marriage and personally proposed marriage.

However, no matter in terms of status, appearance, knowledge and temperament, Nan Yan is fully worthy of being the queen.

Many women's hearts were broken.

The saddest person was Zhao Xuelian.

"Ahhh... Why? Why her?"

"My cousin is mine, my cousin is mine..."

"How can my aunt send someone to propose marriage in person..."

"Nan Yan... Nan Yan... Why is it Nan Yan..."

"........."

Zhao Xuelian was shouting in the house, with anger suppressed in her eyes and tears falling one by one.

There was a crackling sound in the room, and the teapot and cups on the table were swept to the floor by her.

The maid was so frightened that she didn't dare to step forward to stop it.

When Mrs. Zhao walked in, she saw her daughter looking like a mad woman.

Her expression changed instantly, and she said to the maids standing at the door with their heads bowed, "Go down."

The maids left in a hurry.

Zhao Xuelian continued to shout and cry, not paying any attention to Madam Zhao.

Madam Zhao shouted sternly, "Xue Lian, stop it."

Zhao Xuelian paused, turned her head, and her face was full of tears. As if she saw someone to rely on, she cried even harder.

"mother……"

Although Mrs. Zhao felt sorry for her daughter, she was even more angry because because of this incident, the lady she had carefully cultivated was like a lunatic.

"Look at what you look like now. What if this gets out?"

No matter how painful or uncomfortable he was, he shouldn't go crazy with the house wide open in front of so many servants.

Zhao Xuelian came back to her senses, looked at the mess on the ground and the gloomy face of Mrs. Zhao, sobbed and whispered: "Mom, I was wrong."

Mrs. Zhao sighed deeply, walked over, and pulled her to sit on the bed without the porcelain fragments.

"Xue Lian, mother knows you are upset, but you can't vent like this. If it gets out, it will be bad for your reputation."

“Mother… wuwuwuwuwu…” The person who had just stopped crying couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. She threw herself into Madam Zhao’s arms, “I just feel uncomfortable… why… why was it Nanyan and not me…”

"Xue Lian, don't cry, don't cry anymore..."

Mrs. Zhao couldn't figure it out. Although Nanyan's appearance was slightly better than her daughter's, she was no match for Xuelian overall. Not to mention that she had just returned to the capital not long ago. Could she be a good queen of a country?

Moreover, it set a precedent by personally sending someone to propose marriage. I don't know if the Emperor and the Empress Dowager were bewitched by Nan Yan.

Mrs. Zhao only dared to think about these things in her heart and did not dare to say them out loud.

Looking at her crying and sad daughter, she patted her back and comforted her: "Xue Lian, don't be sad. My daughter is so good. Her future husband will definitely... definitely be very good." She couldn't say anything that would be better than the emperor.

In terms of appearance, identity, status and ability, the emperor is definitely the best man in Da Shang.

"Wow...but no matter how good he is, he can't compare to my cousin." Her cousin was the only one in her heart.

Madam Zhao said helplessly: "Xue Lian, the emperor's proposal is now a fait accompli and cannot be changed."

When Zhao Xueying ran in, she saw the mess from a distance. She was shocked and at the same time became more worried about Zhao Xuelian.

My sister likes her cousin the emperor so much, she won’t do anything stupid, right?

Although Zhao Xueying sometimes disliked her sister for being a little fake, she still cared about her very much. When she heard the news that the palace had proposed marriage to Nan Yan, she hurried over.

She ran into the house and felt relieved when she saw Mrs. Zhao hugging Zhao Xuelian and comforting her.

She walked over and said softly, "Sister, I heard everything, don't be too sad."

"Sister, you are so good. There are many men who secretly like you! In addition to the emperor and cousin, there are many good men."

Zhao Xuelian shouted at Zhao Xueying: "What do you know?"

Zhao Xueying was stunned for a moment by her angry rebuke, and then her face darkened, "Why are you so fierce? I came here with good intentions to comfort you, but you took my kindness for granted."

The little firecracker couldn't bear it anymore.

"I've already told you that your cousin doesn't like you and won't marry you, but you just didn't believe me and insisted on doing it. Are you okay now? Are you sober now?"

"Aren't you always claiming to be a gentle and elegant lady? Why did such a small thing make you smash everything in the house?"

Mrs. Zhao listened to Zhao Xueying's increasingly excessive remarks, frowned, and said disapprovingly, "Ying'er, don't you see that your sister is very sad? Stop talking, aren't you rubbing salt into her wounds?"

"Did I? I just wanted her to be more sober. You're only making her more extreme. Just wait! Sooner or later she will do something harmful to herself and others because of your favor."

"Ying'er, you..."

Zhao Xueying interrupted Madam Zhao directly, "Humph! I don't want to care about these things! It's annoying to see you crying for a man."

She turned and ran away angrily.

Mrs. Zhao sighed deeply. For some reason, these two sisters had never gotten along since they were young.

Zhao Xuelian in his arms suddenly became excited, "Mom, by the way, if I don't become the queen, I can still enter the palace and become my cousin's concubine."

Now the emperor has chosen the queen, but it is still unknown when he will hold a new selection of concubines.

Xuelian is a woman and can't afford to wait.

Mrs. Zhao wanted to say it, but when she saw her daughter's expectant expression, she suddenly couldn't say it.

Xuelian has suffered a blow today, so I'll talk to her slowly later.

At dinner, Zhao Yunhe did not see Zhao Xuelian at the table and knew why she did not come.

"Madam, please keep an eye on Xuelian and comfort her more."

Madam Zhao nodded, and then she said, "Master, do you think the selection of concubines will be resumed after the Emperor appoints a queen?"

Zhao Xueying rolled her eyes. This must be another of Zhao Xuelian’s ideas. She would not turn back until she hit the wall.

Zhao Yunhe put down his chopsticks and glanced at Mrs. Zhao lightly.

"No." He said with certainty.

"Throughout history, this is the first time that the Queen Mother has personally come to propose marriage, which shows how much they value Nan Yan. Also, the Emperor doesn't really care about love affairs, so he won't hold another beauty pageant."

He knew very well what kind of person his nephew was.

"Don't think too much about those groundless thoughts. Tell Xuelian too."

Mrs. Zhao was guessed by Zhao Yunhe, so she lowered her head in embarrassment and replied in a low voice, "Yes, Master."
