Chapter 295: I'm in Charge
Zhaoyang Palace.
Shen De looked at Shen Changge, who was staring at him fixedly with a pair of peach blossom eyes full of doubts below, and sighed helplessly.
"I was going to make a direct order in two days, but since you already know, I'll tell you now." Shen De said, with a restrained expression, "That's right, I have already decided to marry Du Qin from the Hubu Shangshu Mansion to you." β
"Father." Shen Changge was a little anxious.
Originally, when she heard those rumors, she still had a bit of luck in her heart, maybe things were not as rumored.
But now that she heard the emperor say these words himself, she knew that the rumors were all true, and the emperor really made such a decision.
"Father." She said urgently, "Erchen can't marry Du Qin!" β
"Why?" Shen De raised his eyebrows and looked at her puzzled.
Shen Changge subconsciously took a step forward, his expression full of eagerness, "Erchen knows this Du Qin, and also knows that she and Liu Qingfeng of Dingguo Mansion have long been in love, and Liu Qingfeng is a friend of Erchen, how can Erchen do something to take away his friend's wife?" β
Shen De's expression became a little serious, and he was silent for a few seconds, and said, "But this Du Qin is the person I think is the most suitable person to be elected as the crown princess after I discussed with the regent, so I decided to canonize her as the crown princess." As for what you're saying, as long as they're not married. β
"Uncle Huang?" Shen Changge was a little stunned, and quickly caught the word in his words.
Shen De didn't notice the strange look flashing in her eyes, nodded and said, "That's right, the regent also thinks that Du Qin is the most suitable candidate." I trust the Regent's vision, and even if he thinks it's appropriate, there will be nothing wrong with that. β
"Father!" Shen Changge forced down the dissatisfaction in his heart, but his voice was still a little higher, "I also ask my father to take back his fate, and his son must not marry Du Qin!" β
When Shen De heard this, his face gradually became cold, and he was also a little impatient: "Prince, this matter has been decided, you don't need to say more." It's not your turn to make your own decisions about your marriage! β
At the end of the day, there was a hint of warning in his tone.
Shen Changge was slightly stunned, looked up at Shen De in a little surprise, but said with his mouth faster than his brain: "I make my own decisions about my marriage!" β
"Presumptuous!" Shen De was immediately angry, slapped his right hand the armrest, and glared at Shen Changge angrily, "It seems that I have indulged you too much, and I have actually let you learn to resist me!" β
Shen Changge stubbornly raised his chin and looked at him firmly: "Father, the son knows that you are thinking about the son, but the son really can't marry Du Qin, and the son doesn't want to marry a wife now." β
"As a prince, how can you not take a wife? And the candidate for this crown princess has to be carefully selected, to choose the most suitable person for you, how can you say that you won't marry if you don't marry? Shen De's tone was firm, revealing a majesty that could not be refuted.
"But Fatherβ"
"Alright." Shen De directly interrupted her words, "I have made up my mind, you don't have to say it anymore." I will give you a decree to marry you later! β
As he spoke, he waved his hand and motioned for Shen Changge to step back.
The hands hanging by his side were clenched tightly, Shen Changge bit his lower lip tightly, glanced at Shen De unwillingly, and then turned to leave.
Walking out of Zhaoyang Palace, the warm sun shone on her body, but she didn't feel the slightest warmth, but felt very cold.
It seems that the emperor is determined to let her marry Du Qin this time.
She's going to have to figure it out.
The worst result is nothing more than telling the emperor the fact that she is a woman, and ending up in a crime of bullying the king.
Anyway, she's a person who has died once, and she doesn't care about dying again.
What's more, she is still drunk with red dust, and she has not yet reached the point of exhaustion.
Comforting herself like this in her heart, she took a deep breath, and then stepped down the stone steps and slowly left Zhaoyang Palace.
However, not long after she left Zhaoyang Palace, she met someone she hadn't seen for a while.
When she saw the other party, she subconsciously stopped her steps and stared at the tall and slender figure in a daze.
This glance actually made her feel in a trance.
But she quickly came back to her senses and subconsciously wanted to take a detour.
But just as she turned around, she suddenly remembered that the emperor had just said that he also felt that Du Qin was the most suitable candidate for the crown princess.
Thinking of this, a wave of anger rose in her heart, and her legs went directly to the other party uncontrollably.
Shen Yiqing had already seen her, and he deliberately pretended not to see her, but when he suddenly saw her angrily walking towards him, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
"Princeβ"
"My father gave marriage to the palace, and I canonized Du Qin of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Household Affairs as the crown princess, does the imperial uncle know?"
When Shen Yiqing heard this, Ying Ting's brows frowned without a trace, and his face nodded a little solemnly.
"Did you propose it to your father, or did it take your own decision?"
"The emperor hesitated between Liu Yue'er, Du Qin and Qu Wanru, so he asked the king's opinion, and it was Du Qin who was chosen by the king."
Shen Changge wanted to keep himself calm, but right now, it was difficult to restrain the anger in his heart.
"You know that Du Qin and Liu Qingfeng are in love, why do you still propose Du Qin to your father?" She looked at him unhappily, and her voice asked with undisguised questioning, "Moreover, this is my marriage, why should you make a decision?" β
Once the words were spoken, she regretted it.
But she was just unhappy in her heart, and she was angry with him.
Is he so eager for her to take a wife?
In order to draw a clear line with her, even if he knew the relationship between Du Qin and Liu Qingfeng, he didn't care?
Even if his father asks him for his opinion, he can just find a reason to prevaricate in the past, and if he doesn't have an idea, will his father punish him for this little thing?
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and her eyes looking at him were full of displeasure, and there was a hint of grievance in them.
Shen Yiqing also stared at her for a moment, completely taking her reaction in her eyes, and because of her last sentence, there were indescribable complex emotions spreading.
He admitted that when he proposed Du Qin, he really didn't expect the relationship between Du Qin and Liu Qingfeng.
It's just because he never cares too much about things that have nothing to do with people.
He just selected the most suitable candidate for the crown princess from those three.
However, seeing the prince questioning him so angrily, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
After a moment of silence, he spoke: "It's not the king who makes the decision, it's the emperor, and the king just made a suggestion." β
"Don't you know how much your father trusts you? Since my father wants to listen to your advice, he acquiesces that your suggestion is his decision. What's the use of you saying this now? β
Shen Changge's emotions were a little excited, and without waiting for him to speak, she continued: "I won't marry Du Qin, even if my father wants to punish me, I won't marry!" β
After speaking, she no longer paid attention to Shen Yiqing, and walked straight away.
