It is difficult to obey the order of the common people

Chapter 19 19. Marriage Rejection in the Palace
Empress Nalan, the current empress, looked at Yang Qian, who bowed her head respectfully, with a calm expression.

Empress Nalan is the successor of Emperor Longtai. She was the good concubine whom Emperor Longtai established when he was the prince. She won the king's heart, but she only had a pair of children under her knees, namely the current prince and the fifth princess, Princess Shou'an.

Empress Zhaode, the concubine who was registered by Emperor Longtai when he was in the East Palace, died 14 years ago. They were named Prince Duanhui and King Dai Gong.

Empress Nalan did not enter the central palace until seven years after Empress Zhaode's death, and was the mother of the world.

Therefore, the son of Empress Nalan, the third prince, was established as the crown prince. The prince was kind and generous, and was highly praised by the court.

Right now, besides the crown prince, Emperor Longtai also has the seventh prince Dian King, born of Nalan Noble Concubine, who is very powerful, plus the grandson of the same Nalan clan, Dian King's voice in the court is not much inferior to that of the benevolent and filial prince.

In order for the crown prince to ascend the throne smoothly, Empress Nalan intended to find a capable Yue family for him, but she didn't want Emperor Longtai to be jealous, so after much deliberation, she decided to choose the daughter of Emperor Longtai's confidant minister's family as the crown princess.

Yang Qian, who was the servant of the household department, also entered the eyes of Empress Nalan.

Emperor Longtai refused to comment on Queen Nalan's marriage proposal for the prince, which seemed to be tacit consent.

Yang Qian heard that it would be a great honor to put it in an ordinary person's house. Instead, he said decisively, "Thank you, Empress, for your love. It's just that the little girl is so stubborn. Since I was born, I don't know how many people my wife has raised for my little girl." The marriage, but the youngest daughter looked down on her and rejected the marriage, with such a temperament, I am afraid that the youngest daughter is not worthy of the position of crown princess."

In other words, Yang Qian refused.

When Empress Nalan heard this, even though Yang Qian found a good reason, she still thought that she was losing face, and she couldn't help but coldly said, "What? Does the Second Young Miss of the Yang family not like my son?"

In any case, the position of crown princess is an honor that countless ladies in the capital are eager to flock to. For the future queen, who can refuse the glory and wealth of the mother's world?
However, Yang Qian's ability is mediocre, but he still has a bit of vision. He can see that the battle for the imperial court is intensifying. He is a trusted subject of Emperor Longtai, and he must not stand in line to support any prince at will.

Not to mention that there are more than two princes under Emperor Longtai's knees, and there is also an ignorant Ninth Prince. The two princes confront each other, and the result may be unexpected, and the Ninth Prince is cheaper in the end.

Yang Qian thought that if he didn't have the ability to win the merit of being a dragon, he should be his courtier honestly. After all, Concubine An was still in the harem. Although she had cultivated her personality and never been favored in these years, Emperor Longtai felt guilty for her. , I often ask questions.

In this way, there is no need for Yang Qian to take the initiative to approach Queen Nalan's faction.

"I don't dare, it's just that the little girl is dull and stubborn, and the little girl is definitely not worthy of being a noble princess."

Yang Qian said.

With Emperor Longtai here, he didn't need to worry about Empress Nalan making trouble. As for Prime Minister Nalan, he was just like this in his life anyway, what else could he do?

Empress Nalan was so irritated by Yang Qian's attitude that she was about to scold her when Emperor Longtai beside her said, "Queen, the second lady of Yang Aiqing's family, the noble concubine, proposed to me before that she wanted to be betrothed to the King of Dian, but I never said that. , the Queen and Yang Aiqing are both present today, why not ask Second Miss for her opinion."

　Yang Qian is not a good father, he will also weigh the pros and cons, and exchange his children for glory and wealth, but he is a bit human, and he disdains selling his daughters for glory, so Yang Qian can't be said to be good or bad
