The Queen Mother joked with Shen Yanzhi for a while, then she took Qinglian into her arms, smiled at Shen Yanzhi and said, "The Ai family is old, and they like this child's lively and lively personality."

"But the daughter is getting married. The Qinglian family is already helping Qinglian arrange her marriage. The Ai family is really reluctant to let Qinglian go back. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

When Shen Yanzhi heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "If the Queen likes it, I can grant you a marriage."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother immediately shook her head: "It's like living outside the palace after a marriage. The Ai family will not be happy if they don't see Qinglian for a moment."

"It's better than this. Your Majesty, what do you think of Qinglian? Can she be included in the harem?"

Although Ren Yuhuan had been mentally prepared, when he heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly clenched his fists to suppress the change in his expression.

He just quietly raised his eyes to look at Shen Yanzhi.

"Mother, you don't know that if you want to enter the harem, you need to pass the examination."

Shen Yanzhi looked sideways at Qinglian: "The first thing to look at is family status. Qinglian is naturally not a problem."

"The second thing is talent, the third thing is character."

"Although I don't know Qinglian well about these two things, I probably know that she is good at it."

The Queen Mother thought that Shen Yanzhi was looking for words, and was about to refute, but paused when she heard that Shen Yanzhi didn't mean it that way.

Shen Yanzhi continued to say: "It's just that there are many rules in the harem. I'm afraid that Sister Qinglian will be made unhappy by the rules of the concubine."

He picked up the cup and continued: "After all, after I establish a queen, Sister Qinglian will not be so free under the control of others."

The Queen Mother's expression became a little ugly, and she said angrily: "The Ai family knows that His Majesty has many things to do and has no time to spend with the Ai family. Now the Ai family can't even keep a person they like by their side?"

Shen Yanzhi put down the cup with a slight smile: "Why are you so persistent, mother? I already have so many concubines, why not consider it for Shen Hebei who hasn't invited her yet?"

Qinglian's heart was beating, her face, ears and even her neck began to heat up, waiting expectantly for the Queen Mother's answer.

The Queen Mother had never considered Shen Hebei at all. What she wanted was for Qinglian to move into the harem.

"Ah, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here."

Shen Hebei followed the palace servants to the imperial study room, dressed in white and spotless.

Shen Hebei could clearly see the situation in the palace at a glance, and his eyes quickly swept over everyone's faces, lingering a little longer on Ren Yuhuan's face.

"So lively?"

Shen Hebei walked in after saluting and sat at the seat arranged by Shen Yanzhi.

Qinglian leaned against the Queen Mother, finding it increasingly difficult to suppress the tension in her heart.

"Mother, I think the emperor's brother and Qinglian are a perfect match for each other."

Shen Hebei found the tea cup in Ren Yuhuan's hand and was looking up to smile at Ren Yuhuan. Hearing this, he quickly turned around and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, no more, I don't like her."

Qinglian's face turned pale with anger and quickly turned red again.

"What did you say?"

Qinglian screamed very loudly and trembled non-stop.

But Shen Hebei, who has always been gentle, didn't even look at it, and continued: "It's just that he has no etiquette, and his personality is not kind. Does your Majesty know who the person I requested to marry you is, right?"

Shen Yanzhi said coldly: "Brother Emperor, you have never been so cold and rude to any woman. Why are you like this today?" The Queen Mother also disliked what she heard and said to Shen Hebei: "Hebei, my girl is still here. Here it is.”

But Shen Hebei just smiled and said: "The person I truly love is here too. How could I let her misunderstand? As long as I keep her happy, I don't care about anything else."

Qinglian's almond-shaped eyes turned to Ren Yuhuan.

Ren Yuhuan stood beside Shen Yanzhi, lowering his head and trying to remain indifferent.

It doesn't matter that Shen Hebei doesn't like Qinglian, but it doesn't matter if he says it in front of Shen Yanzhi, the Queen Mother is also here at the moment...

Ren Yuhuan thought, had Shen Hebei considered her situation when he did this? How will she live in the palace in the future?

Shen Yanzhi glanced sideways at Ren Yuhuan and saw that Ren Yuhuan was not squinting, his expression was motionless, his plump red lips were pressed together, and his upper lip pressed against his lower lip.

If you are angry and endure more, where is the half joy?

The reason why Shen Yan brought everyone together was because he had expected that Shen Hebei would not accept the marriage offer and would definitely find a way to ask Ren Yuhuan for a marriage grant.

What he wanted to see was Ren Yuhuan's reaction.

Shen Hebei's friendship has faded away.

Everyone in the hall looked unhappy. Only Shen Yanzhi looked slightly happy and asked Qinglian: "Sister Qinglian, since you are here, I want to ask you what you think."

The Queen Mother held Qinglian's hand tightly, and Qinglian's eyes moved from Shen Yanzhi's face to Shen Hebei.

As if she was angry, she pointed at Shen Hebei and said, "You don't like me, but I want to marry you!"

Shen Hebei never expected that there would be such a woman in the world, so he frowned and said, "You are willing to marry, but I am not willing to marry."

The Queen Mother's face was full of anger. She immediately let go of Qinglian's arm and said angrily: "This is a major marriage matter, how can you be angry? Qinglian, how can you, a woman, express your feelings in public like this? How can you be angry?" Aren’t you embarrassed?”

"Forget it, let's talk about this later-"

Shen Yanzhi stopped the Queen Mother who was about to get up and said with a smile: "I have granted you a marriage. The Queen Mother is kind to Sister Qinglian. As long as Sister Qinglian is happy, of course I will agree!"

Shen Hebei stared at Shen Yanzhi but didn't say anything.

He knew the Queen Mother's thoughts and would definitely not let Qinglian lose it like this.

"Your Majesty, you know Qinglian. She is doing this just to get angry. Why should she cooperate with a child? She will definitely regret it in the future."

Shen Yanzhi did not change his mind at all: "The emperor's brother also has the idea of ​​​​getting married, otherwise he would not have allowed me to marry him many times. Now Princess Qinglian is very compatible in terms of character, personality and status. This is a good match. "

"Queen mother, please stop talking. This matter is settled."

Shen Yanzhi stood up and saluted the Queen Mother: "Wang Lian, tell people to send the Queen Mother and Sister Qinglian back home."

Qinglian knelt down and bowed her head: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage."

The Queen Mother was very angry and walked out while holding the hand of the palace maid. Qinglian stood there and did not follow.

When Shen Yanzhi saw this, he said to Qinglian: "What's wrong, are you worried that your mother will be angry?"

Qinglian nodded, but there was no regret in her expression.

Shen Hebei stood up slowly and knelt on the ground to salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the marriage."

"Very good. I became a moon elder today and am in a good mood. Since sister Qinglian's home is far away, I will help you prepare the dowry."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Shen Hebei thanked him, he walked straight out of the imperial study room. From the beginning to the end, he never saw Qinglian, who was already engaged.
