319 New Year's Eve Banquet 2

"The grandson has met the emperor's grandmother." He bowed and bowed, the young man was tall and gentle, calm, "The grandson had been in poor health a few days ago and could not enter the palace to pay his respects to the emperor's grandmother. He also asked the emperor's grandmother to forgive his crimes."

The Queen Mother smiled faintly: "It's okay. Have you been getting better recently?"

"It's much better, thank you for your concern."

"The Ai family asked you to come over because they wanted to point you a marriage." The empress dowager said, sighing softly, "You are not young anymore, it's time to start a family."

While speaking, the queen mother fell in the direction of Zixi intentionally or unintentionally from the corner of her eyes, but saw the girl sitting upright on the table with a calm expression, drinking tea freely, without any strange look on her face.

Frowning, the queen mother looked up at Chu Chen: "Cang'er thinks, who is more popular with Wanjun or Shuang'er?"

Chu Chen paused slightly: "What did the emperor's grandmother say?"

Bai Shuang, who stood beside the empress dowager, quietly clenched her hand, her eyes fell on the boy's face, and the admiration in her eyes could hardly be concealed.

"Bai Shuang was born into a noble family and was already noble. She taught her family for so many years. She has a dignified manner and a kind and elegant temperament. She is a rare good girl." The empress dowager said lightly, "Wanjun is the niece of the Ai family. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her appearance is outstanding among the women of the family. The Ai family is difficult to make up for a while. I wonder who Cang'er likes more?"

Originally, Princess Qingxue of the Xiao family was also considering it.

However, after Prince Xiao was assassinated, the Xiao family had no successor and was defeated sooner or later. Naturally, Xiao Qingxue's identity could no longer be compared with Bai Shuang and Tang Wanjun.

When Chu Chen heard this, he was silent for a moment.

It seems that he is thinking, or it may be that he is surprised by the Queen Mother's words and does not react.

But it was only a short moment.

Soon he came back to his senses and smiled humbly: "Go back to the emperor's grandmother, the grandson did not have much contact with Miss Bai and Miss Tang, and he had no feelings for them. The emperor's grandmother might have misunderstood."

The Queen Mother was stunned.

Misunderstand?

What misunderstanding?

Does he not understand what she means?

She was asking him to marry, and the candidate for the princess could be chosen among the two women, Tang Wanjun and Bai Shuang.

It's not that he likes it or not.

"The grandson already has a woman he likes." Chu Chen then spoke, not seeming to know what the Empress Dowager thought, "So, thank you for your kindness."

The Empress Dowager's face darkened: "Do you have a woman you like?"

Chu Chen nodded: "Yes."

"Who is it?" the queen mother asked again, "Bai Shuang, or Wan Jun?"

The cold voice was filled with force, and the warning was obvious during the period.

But Chu Chen seemed to be unable to hear it at all and said honestly: "The emperor's grandmother misunderstood. My grandson said just now that she was not familiar with them. The person she liked was Zixi--"

"Chu Yucang!" The Empress Dowager slapped the handrail suddenly, and her voice turned sharp, "Ai's family is not allowed!"

The whole palace was silent, and the ministers raised their eyes at the same time.

Chu Chen paused, his eyes were very calm, and he looked at the Queen Mother without any emotion.

"Cang'er." Chu Huan frowned and looked at him, with pressure in his eyes, "I don't know how to reply in front of the Queen Mother?"

Chu Chen smiled, humble but respectful, but his tone was particularly firm: "The grandson will not marry a woman he doesn't like, please forgive me for your crime."

At that moment, the folds on the Empress Dowager's face began to tremble and was so angry.
