Chapter 411 The Princess Who Loves Me 3
Dan Yan also counterattacked: "Bing Ning, you are so bold, have you forgotten who your master is? Could it be that you have some ulterior motives towards Master Fan?"
Bingning's heart skipped a beat and she looked at Luo Chen, who was looking at her with a half-smile. She suddenly felt panicked.
I quickly knelt down and explained, "Princess, please forgive me. I just didn't react for a moment.
The princess has never asked Master Fan to perform a ceremony before, so I lost my temper for a moment. Please forgive me, princess."
Luo Chen played with the red nail polish he had just applied and said, “When we were still young, we didn’t have so many etiquettes.
Now that we are all grown up, we have to be more polite. Otherwise, if outsiders see us, they will think that the people in the Cheng En Marquis's mansion have no manners. Don't you think so, Master Fan?"
Fan Hongshen glanced at Luo Chen and felt that what Luo Chen said made sense, but he felt a little uncomfortable, so he stood up and saluted: "I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess."
"Stand up." Luo Chen then smiled.
"Sister Luo Chen, what's the matter that you want to see me today?" Fan Hongshen asked.
Luo Chen also returned to his original appearance and asked the servant to leave.
She also came down and sat down in front of him and said, "Cousin Hongshen, the Queen Mother went to see my father and asked him to grant us a marriage."
Fan Hongshen was so shocked that he stood up immediately, even knocking over his teacup: "No, absolutely not."
Luo Chen looked at him and asked, "Why not? Cousin Hong Shen, don't you like me?"
Fan Hongshen glanced at Luo Chen and said embarrassedly: "Sister Luo Chen, I only treat you as my sister. By the way, do you still remember Jiang Shuyun whom I mentioned to you?"
Luo Chen was puzzled: "Jiang Shuyun? Who is she? Your sweetheart? Which daughter?"
Fan Hongshen said: "She is my aunt's cousin. She has lived in my house since she was a child. We are close friends."
Luo Chen suddenly realized: "Oh, confidante, if that's the case, I wish you all the best. I will go and tell your father that you have a lover, and ask him not to grant the marriage."
Fan Hongshen looked at Luo Chen happily: "Really?"
"Of course it's true, but cousin Hongshen, you also know that the reason why the Empress Dowager asked my father to grant us a marriage is to bring us together.
So my cousin has to talk to the Empress Dowager.
There are two of us. I will go and persuade the Emperor, and you will go and persuade the Empress. One for each of us, it should be fair." Luo Chen fooled Fan Hongshen.
Fan Hongshen nodded: "Fair, OK, then I will go and talk to the Queen Mother now."
Luo Chen hurriedly stopped him: "Cousin Hong Shen, wait a minute, our father hasn't given the order yet, if you go find our grandmother, everyone will know about it.
If the news gets out, we'll have to make it happen."
Fan Hongshen thought about it and realized, "What should we do?"
"I will go find the emperor first and tell him your feelings, asking him not to grant the marriage.
When the time comes, the Empress Dowager will naturally come to you. You can ask the Empress Dowager to grant you and Miss Jiang a marriage. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Fan Hongshen nodded and agreed: "Sister Luo Chen, you are really smart. I will listen to you."
Luo Chen said: "Master Fan, it is because we have been so close since we were young that the Queen Mother wanted to bring us together.
From now on, we should keep our distance. You call me Princess and I call you Master Fan, so that we won’t seem to be familiar with each other.
This way, no one will bring us together again, remember that."
"I've remembered it. Don't worry, Princess. I know what to do." Fan Hongshen.
"That's good. I wish you to marry your beautiful girl soon." Luo Chen was satisfied. This child was easy to fool.
"But in order to avoid any trouble, you should go back and ask Madam Fan to arrange a marriage for you and Miss Jiang."
"I'll go back and tell you."
After saying that, he ran away, happy like a fool.
Luo Chen looked at his cheerful back. He was so innocent and believed whatever she said.
Then why did he suddenly turn against her so quickly, and why did he not know what was good for him, and was so malicious towards the original owner who he grew up with.
Bingning and Danyan came in and asked someone to deal with the overturned teacup.
Bing Ning asked quickly, "Princess, Master Fan looked very happy when he left. Was he so happy because he knew that he was going to marry the princess?"
Luo Chen smiled and said, "Of course, I'm naturally happy to marry my sweetheart. How about I let you be her concubine after he gets married?"
Bing Xin was so frightened that she knelt down: "I dare not."
Luo Chen smiled, personally pulled Bing Ning up and said, "Don't worry so much, I'm serious.
Since you care so much about me, I certainly can’t treat you unfairly. Even if you weren’t cousin Hong Shen, I would definitely marry you to an official.”
Bingning stood up nervously, and seeing that Luo Chen was the same as usual, she felt relieved.
Luo Chen brought Dan Yan, a bowl of rock sugar and snow pears, and went directly to the imperial study to see the emperor.
The emperor was in a dilemma at that time because the empress dowager wanted her precious daughter to marry her nephew's grandson.
The Queen disagrees. She has to consider both sides. The Queen Mother is her biological mother, and the Queen's family is powerful. It's a dilemma.
At this time, the chief eunuch Wang Jiabao came in and said, "Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here."
The emperor quickly let Luo Chen in.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty, Father." Luo Chen saluted.
The emperor personally stepped forward and helped his daughter up: "Why is Luo Luo here?"
"Isn't it that the Queen Mother and the Imperial Grandmother are having an unpleasant quarrel over their daughter's affairs?
If my daughter continues to shrink, it will be a huge loss of face if word gets out to the previous dynasty." Luo Chen sat down next to the emperor obediently.
The emperor saw that his daughter was not like an ordinary girl who would shyly avoid talking about her marriage, but he spoke directly about it.
So he became interested and asked, "What do you think, Luoluo? Are you willing to marry Fan Hongshen?"
Luo Chen smiled and said, "To be honest, I don't want to."
"Why?" the emperor asked, "You grew up together. Although the child is a little mediocre, he is still a good child."
Luo Chen looked at the emperor and said, “Father, the good boy has a lover.
I just told my daughter that he would marry his cousin Jiang Shuyun in this life, even if I were a princess, he would not marry her. "
The emperor was instantly furious. When had his precious daughter been chosen by others? "Humph, he doesn't want her, and I don't want to give her to him either. What a fool."
Luo Chen smiled and patted the emperor on the back and said, “Father, why are you so angry?
Everyone knew that this marriage was arranged by the Empress Dowager in order to continue the glory of her mother's family.
From the beginning to the end, Fan Hongshen and I had no such intention towards each other.
Moreover, Fan Hongshen was deeply in love with Jiang Shuyun. When he heard that his daughter was going to marry him, he was so scared that he almost committed suicide.
She smashed the teacup in my son's palace and was about to commit suicide. If my daughter hadn't stopped her, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager would have fainted from crying this time."
The emperor was amused by his daughter: "Hahaha, you are such a clever girl, you are talking nonsense."
"My daughter is not talking nonsense. This is true. If you don't believe me, ask the palace servants in my palace. They all heard the sound of Fan Hongshen smashing the cup outside the palace."
