"The grandson has seen the imperial grandmother." Bowing and saluting, the young man's posture was tall and gentle, and he was calm, "My grandson has been in poor health a few days ago, and he couldn't enter the palace to ask the imperial grandmother for peace, and he also asked the imperial grandmother to forgive him." ”

The Queen Mother smiled faintly: "It's okay." How are you feeling better? ”

"It's much better, thank you for your concern."

"The mourning family called you over to point you to a marriage." The Queen Mother said and sighed softly, "You are not young anymore, it's time to start a family." ”

While speaking, the corner of the Queen Mother's eyes fell in the direction of Zixi intentionally or unintentionally, but she saw the girl sitting on the seat with a calm demeanor, drinking tea freely, and there was no strange look on her face.

Frowning, the Queen Mother raised her eyes and looked at Chu Chen: "Cang'er thinks, who does Wanjun or Shuang'er like you more?" ”

Chu Chen's expression paused slightly: "What did the imperial grandmother say?" ”

Bai Shuang, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, quietly clenched her hands, her eyes fell on the young man's face, and the admiration in her eyes could hardly be concealed.

"Bai Shuang was born in a family, she was already noble, and she has been teaching by the side of the mourning family for so many years, she has a dignified demeanor, a kind and elegant temperament, and she is a rare good girl." The Queen Mother said lightly, "And Wanjun is the niece of the mourning family, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her appearance is also outstanding among the women of the family. ”

Originally, Qingxue, the county lord of the Xiao family, was also under consideration.

However, after Xiao Shizi was assassinated, the Xiao family had no successor, and sooner or later it would fall, and Xiao Qingxue's identity naturally could no longer be compared with Bai Shuang and Tang Wanjun.

When Chu Chen heard this, he was silent for a moment.

It seems to be thinking, but it may also be surprised by the Queen Mother's words and not reacting.

But it was only for a short time.

Soon he came back to his senses and smiled humbly: "Back to the imperial grandmother, my grandson has not had much contact with Miss Bai and Miss Tang, and he doesn't have any feelings for them, and the imperial grandmother may have misunderstood." ”

The Queen Mother was stunned.

Misunderstand?

What misunderstanding?

Didn't he understand what she meant?

She is giving him a marriage, and the candidate for the princess can choose one of the two women, Tang Wanjun and Bai Shuang.

Not to ask him if he likes it or not.

"My grandson already has a woman I like." Chu Chen then spoke, as if he didn't know what the Queen Mother was thinking, "So, thank you for your kindness." ”

The Queen Mother's face sank: "You have a woman you like?" ”

Chu Chen nodded: "Yes." ”

"Who is it?" The Queen Mother asked again, "White Frost, or Wanjun?" ”

The cold voice carried a sense of urgency, and the warning was obvious.

But Chu Chen didn't seem to hear it at all, and said honestly: "The imperial grandmother misunderstood, just now the grandson said that he is not familiar with them, and the person that the grandson likes is Zixi-"

"Chu Yucang!" The Queen Mother slapped the armrest suddenly, and her voice turned deep, "Mourning is not allowed!" ”

The hall was silent, and the ministers raised their eyes in unison.

Chu Chen stopped, his eyes were very calm, and he looked at the Queen Mother without any emotion.

"Cang'er." Chu Huan frowned and looked at him, his eyes full of coercion, "In front of the Queen Mother, I don't know how to reply?" ”

Chu Chen smiled, humble and respectful, but his tone was extremely firm: "My grandson will not marry a woman I don't like, please ask the imperial grandmother for forgiveness." ”

At that moment, the folds on the Queen Mother's face began to tremble faintly, angry.

She stared at Chu Chen coldly: "Are you going to be angry with the mourning family?" ”
