Chapter 14: Folk Rumors

Xiao Changge got up slowly, and walked in the direction of the Queen Mother under the gaze of everyone.

Chu Yu touched the wine glass with his hand, his fingers tapped slightly, and a layer of ripples rippled in the wine.

The phoenix's eyes were tight, staring at Xiao Changge, who had walked on stage, thinking about what she had just said.

"Come, raise your head and let the mourners see." The Queen Mother stretched out her hand and beckoned, took Xiao Changge's hand and patted it, looking kind.

Xiao Changge looked at the Queen Mother as beautiful and approachable, but who knew what a dirty heart was under this approachable face.

is good to her, but it's just because she is the daughter of the Xiao family.

Xiao Changge couldn't forget that it was this person who smiled gently at her and pushed her into hell with his own hands.

The Queen Mother designed step by step, she was kind on the surface, but secretly made it difficult for her, so that Chu Yan would appear at the right time to save her.

If there is a man who protects you like this, can you not be moved? So to the queen mother's surprise, she did fall in love with Chu Yan with all her heart.

As long as someone is an enemy of Chu Yan, she is an enemy!

In this life, she will never make the same mistake and do the same thing!

"Look at this little face, it's the same as your mother, it looks much longer, and it's a perfect match for the prince." The Queen Mother looked Xiao Changge up and down and laughed softly.

Ignoring the ministers and other young ladies below and praising Xiao Changge like this, the meaning is already obvious.

Below, even the prime minister couldn't help but say to Xiao Yongde: "General Xiao, congratulations so much." ”

"Prime Minister Xia, you're laughing." Xiao Yongde raised his glass and laughed, the two of them collided with each other's wine glasses and drank happily, but they had ghosts in their stomachs.

Chu Yan is the crown prince, according to Xiao Yongde's upright temperament, he will definitely support Chu Yan, and now if Xiao Changge can become the crown princess, it will naturally be a good thing.

Xia Qiong couldn't laugh at all in his heart, what did the Queen Mother mean by that? It has long been clear that Xiao Changge is the one who can be the crown princess.

This Xiao Yongde really has a set!

Xiao Changge bowed his head and was silent, acting very shy, but he was happy in his heart, because Chu Yu had already agreed to cooperate with her!

Why? Because He Niu, who was supposed to appear, hasn't appeared yet!

It also means that someone has stopped it, and it can't be anyone else except Chu Yu.

In her previous life, her reputation was completely ruined because of a He Niu, and in order to consolidate her power, Chu Yan had no choice but to marry her, but she became the object of ridicule in the world.

Xiao Changle held his handkerchief in his hand, looking at Xiao Changge's favored appearance with jealousy, and he was anxious.

He Niu, the dog minion, has not yet come, Xiao Changle is anxious, if the queen mother's words make the emperor marry immediately, then the position of the crown princess will be more and more distant for her!

"Your Majesty, are you right about what the mourning family said?" The Queen Mother smiled and looked at the emperor sitting next to her and asked angrily.

The fact that Emperor Chu is not the biological son of the Queen Mother is well known to the world, the two are very harmonious outside, but they do not agree in private, and even the Queen Mother intends to provoke the thorn of the Emperor Chu, and the Emperor Chu also intends to abolish the Queen Mother, but he can't find an excuse, so the two have been deadlocked.

In addition to the parties involved, only Xiao Changge knew about this matter, after all, she had seen the scene when the emperor abolished the queen mother!

This time, I want to marry her to Chu Yan, not for the Chu Emperor, but for the entire Chu State!

In order for the Xiao family to continue to be loyal to the Chu State, they had to tie it firmly to their side.

In this matter, the two of them are on the same line.

"The Queen Mother is right." Emperor Chu said calmly, glanced at Xiao Changge and smiled.

That serious face and this smile are terrifying.

"Since even the emperor thinks that the crown prince and Changge are a match made in heaven, why don't you take advantage of the mourning family's birthday banquet to add another happy event?" The Queen Mother and the Emperor of Chu sang double reeds, and the others could only listen.

Xiao Changge was silent, just waiting for Chu Yu to make a move.

The ladies in the audience who were dressed up in fancy clothes all looked at Xiao Changge with jealousy, how could this talentless, virtuous and corrupt person become the crown princess?

The most jealous is Xiao Yayan and Xiao Changle, a pair made in heaven by Xiao Changge and Chu Yan? Isn't this a clear lie? Helplessly, this was said by the Queen Mother, although they complained in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it clearly.

Xiao Changge is only beautiful at most, not a country and a city, and his reputation is not very good, such a person can be liked by the Queen Mother!

Chu Yan raised his head, but his eyes met Xiao Changle, Xiao Changle lowered his head like a shy little girl, and didn't dare to look at Chu Yan again.

The corners of Chu Yan's mouth pursed, looking gentle.

"Congratulations to the prince for getting the daughter of the Xiao family" Chu Yufeng's eyes narrowed, and he burped with alcohol and said to Chu Yan.

The voice was small, and only between him and Chu Yan could hear it.

There is a rumor circulating among the people:

There is Xia in the east and Chen in the south.

But not the daughter of the Xiao family.

Just two rumors, but they explain the current situation in Chu State.

Although Xiao Yongde's weight in the court is not heavy, he can protect the Chu State and recruit troops to fight, but he has outstanding achievements, and he holds the military power of the Chu State, which is feared by the Chu Emperor, and the only way to contain the Xiao family is to marry.

Chu Yan smiled, clenching the wine glass in his hand, looking determined to win.
