The sun was high in the sky, and the golden light shone down, making Wu Kuoliang's heart feel warm at that moment.

"Excuse me, please tell Cui Yuanniang that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty have promised that from now on, Wu Niang will be solely responsible for her own marriage."

Shui Rong was sincerely happy for Wu Chan, with a smile on her lips: "That's great, Yuan Niang will definitely be very happy to know."

Influenced by her, Wu Kuoliang also smiled: "It is not convenient for me to thank Cui Yuanniang in person at this time. Please ask the girl to thank Cui Yuanniang for me. I will thank Cui Yuanniang properly another day."

"Vice Commander Wu is being polite. Yuan Niang said that Wu Wuniang is her friend, and she did this for her friends. It's just that this trick has hurt Wu Wuniang's reputation. I hope Deputy Commander Wu and Duke Zhen will forgive her."

Shui Rong bowed her head deeply and expressed her apology for Cui Hengyue.

Wu Kuoliang has already learned the truth from his elder brother. Although he is a little regretful that it has damaged his niece's reputation, at least not many people know about it. If you think about it carefully, there is no harm.

"Young lady, you are worrying too much. Compared with entering the palace, such trivial matters are not worth mentioning."

Hearing what he said, Shui Rong felt at ease, and took out the medicine bottle that she had prepared a long time ago and handed it over: "Yuan Niang said, do the whole show, and ask Deputy Commander Wu to take this bottle of medicine back to Wu Wuniang."

"Thank you!"

Wu Kuoliang took the medicine bottle, said goodbye and left.

Not far away, the emperor saw all this and couldn't help but said to Fuquan: "That medicine was prepared by Dr. He. It seems that Wu Wuniang will be disappointed."

"Perhaps... Dr. He's medical skills have improved in recent years," Fu Quan said.

The emperor didn't think so. He believed that the smell was not easy to eliminate, otherwise he wouldn't be so opposed.

Shui Rong glanced back calmly, returned to the side hall with a natural expression, and reported to Cui Hengyue: "Yuan Niang, the medicine has been given to Deputy Commander Wu, and His Majesty also saw it."

Then, Shui Rong conveyed Wu Kuoliang's words to Cui Hengyue.

"Things went smoothly." Cui Hengyue breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shui Rong: "I don't feel very well today. I'll ask Dr. He to come."

This was to see Dr. He and get information from him. Shui Rong understood and immediately went to invite him.

After Wu Ronling and his two brothers returned to the palace, they informed everyone about the situation in the palace. Mrs. Zhenguo couldn't help but clapped her hands and applauded: "Cui Yuanniang must have thought carefully, otherwise even if Achan has a hidden illness, she will not be able to pass this test."

Wu Chan took it seriously, with a happy smile on her face, not caring at all about her reputation being ruined.

"However, let's not get too happy too soon."

Wu Ronling's words made everyone's smiles freeze. They only heard him say: "The Queen Mother is so strong this time, which shows that she eagerly hopes that His Majesty will take charge of the government. If I am not wrong, His Majesty also has this thought.

"If your Majesty wants to rule personally, he must first control the military power, at least he must have military power that can compete with the regent.

"As long as we, the Wu family, still have military power in our hands, the Queen Mother and Her Majesty will not let us go. Everything else will be easy to deal with. However, A-Chan's marriage must be settled as soon as possible to prevent the Queen Mother from having other thoughts."

Mrs. Zhen Guogong nodded slightly: "Master Guo is right, I already have a few candidates in mind, and I can make a decision after seeing each other..."

Remembering that her daughter was still here, Mrs. Zhen Guogong hurriedly said to her daughter: "Achan, you go back to your room first."

Wu Chan felt uneasy and wanted to stay and listen, but had to pretend to be shy and leave.

...

The Duke's office here is discussing Wu Chan's marriage, and the Queen Mother in the palace is also discussing the emperor's marriage with the regent.

"Now it is impossible for Wu Chan to enter the palace. The Queen has to choose someone else. Prince Regent, do you have any good candidates?" the Queen Mother asked tentatively.

Chen Zhan looked at her and asked nonchalantly: "Do you have any good candidates?"

"I......"

The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment, then finally plucked up the courage to fight for her son: "I think these young ladies are very good..."

She opened the booklet and pointed to several portraits inside to show to Chen Zhan. While flipping through the pages, she introduced the reasons why she chose them.

Chen Zhan remained silent until the Queen Mother finished speaking and asked him for his opinion again, then he spoke: "These young ladies are indeed good.

"However, they are too weak-tempered. They only know how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they don't know how to ride or shoot. I heard that they are not good at being in charge of the middle school. How can such people shoulder the important responsibility of the queen?"

They didn't even know that they couldn't take charge of the middle feed. It seemed that they had already guessed her thoughts and had done some research. They were well prepared.

The Queen Mother felt that something was wrong, and she heard Chen Zhan say again: "I think Gao Cong's daughter-in-law is very good, she is good at riding, shooting, playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

“The most important thing is that she has been helping her mother take care of the middle school since she was ten years old, and she has not made any mistakes so far.

"With her calm and cautious temperament, she will definitely be able to help His Majesty take care of the harem so that His Majesty will have no worries."

The Queen Mother's face darkened: "You mean that I am not in charge of the harem and have distracted Your Majesty?"

What is this nonsense?

Chen Zhan just felt baffled: "I mean after she entered the palace, she didn't say that the harem is not peaceful now. Is the Queen Mother thinking too much?"

"..." The Queen Mother was choked, and she was so frustrated that she couldn't vent her anger.

Seeing that she was unhappy, Chen Zhan asked again: "Why, does the Queen Mother think the person I chose is not good?"

The Queen Mother's heart suddenly jumped into her throat.

When she chose Wu Chan, the regent didn't say anything and let her make arrangements. Now that things were messed up, it was the regent's turn to choose someone. How could she object?

Although Gao Cong usually obeyed her words, Gao Cong was the first person to stand up and support Chen Zhan, who was still King Rui at the time, as emperor after the death of the late emperor. His daughter entered the palace, so who might he be helping.

"I......"

Seeing the tangled look on the Queen Mother's face, Chen Zhan said kindly: "Gao Erniang has been in and out of the palace since she was a child. She is familiar with His Majesty, and she is also familiar with you.

"You know best what her temperament is like. With such a well-informed little lady, why are you worried about her?"

It's not the second girl in high school that she's worried about...

The Queen Mother struggled in her heart not to agree: "Of course there is nothing wrong with the person chosen by the Regent, but..."

Before the next words were spoken, Chen Zhan made the final decision: "Since there is no problem, let's settle it quickly to avoid things like today happening again."

He stood up and looked at the Queen Mother meaningfully: "It's still early. The Queen Mother can go and discuss it with Your Majesty. If Your Majesty agrees, let's issue the decree today."

So fast?

Without waiting for the Queen Mother to object, Chen Zhan had already walked out and disappeared at the door in the blink of an eye.

The Queen Mother hesitantly got up, changed her clothes, and went to the emperor's palace in person.

"Your Majesty, this second lady was chosen by the Prince Regent. What do you think?"

The Queen Mother wanted to hear her son's objection, but she didn't expect that after hearing this, the Emperor thought for a moment and agreed: "I said, as long as it's not Wu Wuniang, you have the final say on who to appoint as the queen."

"..."

The Queen Mother was unwilling to give in and reminded him: "That Gao Cong is a loyal regent..."

"Isn't Gao Cong one of yours, mother?" The emperor asked doubtfully, "I have never seen him disobey you. He always does things according to your wishes."

The Queen Mother was speechless for a moment.

The emperor added: "Actually, why should mothers care who they are? As long as their daughter becomes a queen and gives birth to an heir, they will wholeheartedly assist the royal family."
