Empress Abandoned in the Cold Palace: Queen Juan, she doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 169 A Beautiful Marriage
Su Lijin caught his expression in his eyes, and a mocking arc flashed on the corner of his lips.

For Xiao Zhaolin, there are still times when his face is so dark in public.

She couldn't help but think of this man's usual ambitious appearance, and couldn't help but smile in her heart.

How could Su Lijin not know what Xiao Zhaolin was thinking?
Based on her understanding of this person in two lifetimes, she naturally understood that Xiao Zhaolin really didn't want to marry Ye Shuyin from the bottom of his heart.

Speaking of which, Ye Shuyin is just the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department, and she is still far from the position in Xiao Zhaolin's heart.

How could Xiao Zhaolin be willing that his wife is just a daughter of Shangshu?
What he wants has always been the supreme imperial power. The daughter of Shang Shu is a good match in the eyes of outsiders, but in his eyes, it is just a small stepping stone, not qualified for him to exchange his wife's position.

What's more, if he gets married, then he will be more restrained, how can he fool more women into working for her?
Thinking of this, Su Lijin hummed coldly in her heart. Back then, she also thought that she could marry Xiao Zhaolin, but she didn't know that even she herself was just a pawn in Xiao Zhaolin's heart.

A chess piece is not qualified to marry him at all!
Thinking of being humiliated by him ruthlessly sent to Mongolia in the previous life, a layer of ice appeared on Su Lijin's face.

"Your Majesty, it was only a verbal announcement just now, why not make a formal marriage decree to reassure the two lovers."

Su Lijin spoke with a very pointed tone.

Ye Shuyin was naturally even more delighted, and thanked her again.

"Empress, this is too hasty, isn't it? I have my own opinion about the subject's marriage."

Xiao Zhaolin narrowed his eyes, still resisting.

He looked over, but Su Lijin didn't look at him.

I couldn't help being surprised and puzzled in my heart, I don't know why Su Lijin behaved like this suddenly.

"Ye Shangshu's family is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and Miss Ye is also infatuated with you. If you refuse again, won't it make the old minister feel cold?"

Xiao Shengyong's black eyes swept across the Queen's expression, and he ignored Xiao Zhaolin's resistance directly: "I think you don't want the government to be unstable, right?"

These remarks directly put the pressure of the government on Xiao Zhaolin, making him unable to express his dissatisfaction for a while: "I dare not."

Looking back, Xiao Shengxun nodded, and immediately asked the eunuch to draw up an order: "Then get married according to the order, and get married in three days, and those who violate the order will be dealt with according to the order."

The last sentence directly suppressed what Xiao Zhaolin wanted to refute back into his throat.

He clenched his teeth, suppressed the anger in his eyes, and didn't speak any more.

After the birthday banquet, Xiao Shengyun sent Su Lijin back to the palace.

Su Lijin poured tea, handed it to Xiao Shengyun, and asked, "Does the Emperor have anything to ask my concubine?"

Along the way, Xiao Shengyun looked at herself with a certain look, and then she left him to drink tea and solve his questions together.

Presumably, although Xiao Shengyun agreed to her offer of marriage just now and obeyed her wishes, he still had some doubts in his heart.

"Queen, what do you think of Ye Shuyin?" Xiao Shengyun looked at her with piercing black eyes.

He knew very well that Ye Shuyin had offended Su Lijin time and time again.

Logically speaking, Su Lijin should not like her.

But today, he readily promised her a promise, offering her a marriage on the spot, and even giving her an expensive dowry.

That's really not how she behaves.

This matter is very strange.

"The emperor must be wondering why the concubine would help a person who made things difficult for the concubine several times, right?"

Su Lijin opened his mouth and directly pointed out the doubts in his heart.

Xiao Shengyun raised a smile in his black eyes, nodded and said: "I am indeed confused, can the queen answer one or two questions?"

Poured himself a cup of tea, Su Lijin took a sip, and said lightly: "The concubine doesn't have any feelings for Ye Shuyin, she is just a court lady."

After finishing speaking, she continued: "Since she intends to ask for a marriage, why not be a concubine?"

"The queen is only for this reason?" Xiao Shengyong raised the teacup, looking at her with black eyes for a moment.

Su Lijin raised her lips: "Otherwise? Since the concubine has accepted her expensive gift, it's hard to refuse. Helping her once is considered a thank you."

Xiao Shengyong's black eyes stayed on her face for a moment, and seeing her look so natural, it seemed that she really had other plans.

After a while, Xiao Shengyun looked away, and just said: "I'm afraid, the virtuous king doesn't intend to marry."

Although the marriage was settled, he could tell that Xiao Zhaolin didn't want to marry Ye Shuyin at all.

"That's their business."

Su Lijin looked like she had nothing to do with herself: "The concubine only knows that this is a beautiful marriage."

In her previous life, Ye Shuyin's only obsession was to marry Xiao Zhaolin.

After living a new life, she could also see that the current Ye Shuyin was also focused on Xiao Zhaolin.

However, she did not expect that Ye Shuyin would ask to marry Xiao Zhaolin on the spot.

Since Ye Shuyin is interested, she will just do a favor.

Xiao Shengyun didn't ask any more questions, the two sat opposite each other for a while, and then he left.

However, as soon as he left, Xiao Shengying came back.

Looking at the man in front of him whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot and who was staring at him with a sneer, Su Lijin looked back at him unchanged.

"Empress, what do you mean?" Xiao Zhaolin couldn't help asking, his tone full of anger.

From the birthday banquet until now, he wanted to know what it meant for Su Lijin to give Ye Shuyin a marriage!
"Your Highness, you are going to get married soon, it seems inappropriate to come to this Palace." Su Lijin moved a little further away from him.

Xiao Zhaolin approached immediately, and asked angrily: "Your Majesty doesn't love this hall anymore, does she? Otherwise, how could you be so cruel and marry that woman to this hall?!"

"Your Highness, now that the concubine is a queen, she can't help herself."

Su Li raised her head and looked at him, her eyes were calm, and her tone was quite tactful: "For Your Highness, the concubine does not dare to have any hope anymore, Your Highness has found a lover now, Miss Ye has a deep affection for His Highness, Your Highness There will also be a beautiful marriage..."

"Beautiful marriage?" Xiao Zhaolin sneered: "This palace doesn't want to grant a marriage, did your empress know?"

Su Lijin lowered her head, with a somewhat helpless expression: "Your Highness, my concubine is the queen... There is no hope with Your Highness..."

Xiao Zhaolin looked gloomy, stared at her for a moment, then walked away with a cold snort.

As night fell, Su Lijin lay down on the bed under the service of Xianxian.

"Your Majesty, I heard from the palace lady that there will be a boat cruise soon, and I heard it will be very lively." Xianxian said casually while tidying up the corner of the bed.

"Cruise boat? Could it be that the Flower Festival is coming?" Su Li was taken aback.

Then it occurred to me that there is indeed a Huachao Festival recently, and there will be a grand cruise at that time.

Thinking about it, Su Lijin got off the couch.

"Your Majesty, are you not going to sleep?" Xianxian asked doubtfully.

Su Lijin waved her hand, and the person was already walking outside.

She came all the way to Xiao Shengyong's dormitory.

Seeing her coming, Xiao Shengyun was a little surprised: "Is there something wrong with the queen?"

Su Lijin smiled: "Does the emperor know that the Flower Festival is coming soon?"

The black eyes moved slightly, and Xiao Shengyun thought about it: "I have heard that the Huachao Festival has always been very lively, and it is just these few days."

"Your majesty would like to watch the cruise activities of the Huachao Festival. The event is extremely grand, and it is said that there will be countless cruise ships rushing into the water."

With raised eyebrows and a smile, Su Lijin's tone even carried a hint of coaxing.

How could Xiao Shengyun fail to see her thoughts, with a smile floating in his black eyes, he said: "Since the queen wants to go, then go then."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Su Lijin's tone was brisk: "After finishing the wedding ceremony, the Flower Festival will come. At that time, the emperor and his concubines will go to have fun together."
