Prince, Do You Still Need a Prisoner

"What does the empress dowager think?" Noble Consort Guan asked.

There seemed to be no reason for Her Majesty not to agree. However, she did not want Ruan Xiaonuan to take advantage of her just like that, so she did not express her stance.

"Everyone, why didn't you ask me if I agreed?" Ruan Xiaonuan's voice broke the temporary silence.

As soon as she spoke, eight pairs of eyes looked at her, waiting for her to say something. She cleared her throat and looked directly at Her Majesty. "Majesty, why don't you agree? Even if you agree to grant me a marriage, I might not necessarily accept it. "

The others widened their eyes as they stared at her. To speak out such outrageous words in front of the most noble people in their dynasty, no one had the guts to do so. And judging from her appearance, she seemed to be rejecting the idea of marriage.

The empress dowager's face turned completely black as she shouted, "How dare you! How can you put up a front for the Royal Family's arranged marriage? "

Ruan Xiaowang rolled his eyes. This was a typical fire set by an official of Xu Prefecture. No lights were allowed, and she didn't even have the authority to speak as a client. Surprisingly, she said, "I don't agree to grant you a marriage, which will save the empress dowager some trouble. This isn't a matter of mutual beauty, so why are you so angry?

Gu Junxiu, who was standing beside her, also had a completely black complexion as his entire body emitted an ice-cold aura. He opened his mouth coldly, "Try saying another word of rejection?"

These words were definitely not a question. Everyone could hear the dangerous aura behind his words, but Ruan Xiaonuan was not one of them. She was already angry, so she bluntly said, "I rejected. I was the one who wanted to get married, so why didn't I have the right to refuse? Did you discuss this with me before you did it? "

They did not understand why the main character of this matter would actually quarrel, and why the two of them seemed to be quite angry. However, she was also the first and possibly the last person who dared to be angry at Prince Yu.

Ruan Xiaonuan was not in the mood to see what they were thinking, she stared straight at Gu Junxiu, and said word by word, "Is there any difference between what you are doing and robbing a commoner girl?"

Gu Junxiu's aura seemed to have become even colder. However, he did not do anything to Ruan Xiaonuan, who was extremely daring, and said very indifferently, "Regardless of whether or not I tell you, you are still this king's consort. There's no difference even if I don't say it."

She was so infuriated that she almost laughed. This person probably didn't know what 'respect' meant. That's a big difference, okay? Seeing that she was about to speak again, Gu Junxiu immediately pulled her back and warned her in a rather strong tone, "Just stand here honestly. After this is over, I will give you a reasonable explanation."

Ruan Xiaonuan understood that he had given in. She was overjoyed in her heart. The words she had said just now were not in vain. In an instant, more than half the anger in her heart dissipated as she prepared to see how he would make the empress dowager agree to grant them a marriage.

When Esteemed Empress Dowager saw their tightly clasped hands, her anger was not light, especially what Ruan Xiaonuan had just said. Although she really wanted to agree with her, she only cared about the honor of the royal family. This was because they had always been the ones to choose. How could they let others choose them?

Noble Consort Guan also did not expect Ruan Xiaonuan to make the situation worse herself, and her delicate eyebrows knitted together deeply. Gu Qingcheng looked like he was deep in thought, no one knew what he was thinking.

"Royal Brother, please fulfill your promise." Gu Junxiu's voice sounded again.

Jun Wu Yi was joking, but no one had expected that he would actually put the agreement between the two of them on the open. In front of all the civil and military officials, even if he was unwilling, he could only say, "In a moment, I will decide that you two will marry each other one day." He didn't notice how pale he had become when he finished speaking.

Although he agreed, Her Majesty still did not agree. Gu Qingcheng and Gu Junxiu were both filial children, without her permission, they would not dare to make such a huge decision.

Ruan Xiaonuan was originally relieved, and was just waiting for a good interrogation. Unexpectedly, she kicked him again, and said angrily, "In the end, is it your wedding, or Ah Xiu's wedding, marriage is your wish, since both of us have no objections, then what are you interfering in?"

She spoke so enthusiastically that she didn't notice the look in the other three's eyes at all. The empress dowager was so angry that she couldn't speak. She pointed at her for a long time without uttering a word of rebuttal.

Gu Junxiu understood that in this sort of situation, the more he spoke, the angrier the empress dowager became. Therefore, he decided to just silently stand to the side and not speak up unless he had no other choice.

Seeing that no one else had spoken, the Noble Consort Guan could only laugh dryly. "Esteemed Empress Dowager, Miss Ruan is still young, and is in love with the Prince. It's hard to avoid impulse. You have forgiven her. We're family from now on."

The empress dowager glared fiercely at her, probably reprimanding her for turning his elbow outwards. She said without holding back, "I and her are not family."

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, it's rare for your highness to meet a girl who feels good about herself. If you refuse this time, what if he doesn't have a family in the future?" Weren't you always talking about your family? Isn't it time for your highness to get married? Now that he has brought it up, why don't you agree? " Noble Consort Guan's words were warm and tender, as if she could pacify the empress dowager's anger.

She understood that all three of them were now in Ruan Xiaonuan's favor, and what Noble Consort Guan had said was not wrong. But no matter how much he made her lower her body and nod, he couldn't do it. Thus, he simply flicked her sleeve and left.

Gu Junxiu heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that the empress dowager had agreed.

At this point, everyone knew that there was going to be an imperial concubine in the Prince Yu Palace soon, and one that was an average looking civilian woman at that. Now, His Majesty had no choice but to agree to their marriage due to her achievements in the river.

There were still a lot of things about Ruan Xiaonuan, and there were many versions of him that were common to the commoners. She stood in the Wang Jiang Restaurant, and upon hearing the discussions below, she gave a noncommittal smile. Although there was a lot that was not true, she did not stop it.

Because Wang Jiang Restaurant had put up a brand-new signboard, the words on it were cool, powerful, and handsome. Ruan Xiaonuan made the people in the Wang Jiang Restaurant talk about the origin of the signboard from time to time, which attracted a lot of customers.

The other restaurants were all staring at the Wang Jiang Restaurant's door with reddened eyes. Almost every day, there was a bustling atmosphere. However, it was completely deserted here. Wang Jiang Restaurant snatched a portion of their customers away. They were unwilling, but did not dare to do anything. This was because the two most powerful people in the capital were her backers. Who would dare to cause trouble here?
