Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 206 You Dare to Disobey Me

Before Bei Yao could finish his words, the teacup came flying towards him.

Bei Yao slightly turned sideways to avoid the tea, but his clothes were still wet by the tea.

The queen pointed at Beiyao and said angrily, "Beiyao, how dare you disobey me?"

"Everyone in the court knows that I have arranged a marriage for you and the Third Miss of the Song family. Now you want to cancel the engagement? Dream on!"

Realizing that she was too angry, the queen turned around slightly, straightened her sleeves, and said again: "Today, I will pretend that you have never been here."

"But Erchen is here."

Bei Yao looked at the Queen's furious expression, and remembered that when the teacup was thrown at him, the Queen showed no intention of avoiding people or him, so his tone gradually became cold.

"It is indeed good that the Song family has an official position as the Grand Marshal, but such a person is at most a new noble in the capital. Just like when my brother wanted to marry the eldest daughter of the Qi family, why didn't the Queen Mother object? Or, in the eyes of the Queen Mother, I am only worthy of being married to a family like that."

Tianqi attaches great importance to clan identity, especially to aristocratic families.

It is true that emperors come and go, but the clan remains unchanged.

When the royal family marries, they usually choose the daughters of famous noble families.

The prince has been married for many years, but the queen has always looked down on Qi Shengmei. The reason is that Qi Shengmei's family background is not good. Although her father is now the prime minister, the Qi family has only been established in the capital for more than 20 years.

Not to mention compared with those famous and prominent families, even the current queen's mother's family is not as good as them.

But at that time Qi Shengmei had lost her chastity, and the queen had no choice but to accept Qi Shengmei.

Compared with the current situation, it is completely different.

"Although the Song family is not a famous family, it is almost worthy of you. Beiyao, the eldest daughter of the Song family, is worthy of you."

"But I don't like it."

"Do you not like Song Xiujing, or do you not want to be crowned king and leave the capital?" The queen looked at Bei Yao with coldness in her eyes.

"I don't even want to."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"The king left the palace."

"Impossible." The Queen's voice suddenly turned cold.

"I came here today, but I didn't think of giving my mother a chance to say no."

Bei Yao looked around and saw that they were all the confidants of the Queen, so he said bluntly: "Mother, I know that everything you did was to pave the way for my brother. One of your plans was to use me to marry the daughter of the Song family and take over the military power of the Song family. The other was to use my marriage to enthrone me as the King of Changle and make me leave the capital and never come back. I didn't want to fight for anything, but your partiality made me feel that I must fight for it."

"Beiyao, what do you mean?"

The queen stood up and looked at Bei Yao with disbelief in her eyes.

Bei Yao was dressed in white, standing in the hall.

Although he looked very much like her, the queen suddenly felt that the person in front of her was extremely unfamiliar.

"I said, I want to compete with my brother."

Bei Yao raised his head calmly, looked at the queen, and said slowly: "My queen, today I will give you two choices. One is to cancel the engagement and let me be crowned a king and leave the palace to set up a residence. The other is that the prince will be imprisoned today and give up the position of crown prince."

"You are presumptuous!"

The queen was so angry that she grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at Bei Yao.

Bei Yao stood firmly, not dodging or letting the tea pass no matter how hot it was, and said in a cold voice: "Chen Shan, hand the evidence to the queen, and let her see for herself what her good son had done."

Seeing Beiyao's neck was burned red, the nanny hurriedly grabbed the queen and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"My queen, calm down! Take a look at what the Three Emperors sent you first."

Hearing this, the queen took several deep breaths before calming down.

She sat down, without looking at Beiyao, and said, "Bring it up."

The white scroll slowly unfolded.

The queen took only one look and immediately closed the scroll. She looked at Bei Yao with a cold gaze, as if quenched with poison: "Bei Yao, what do you want to do?"

Bei Yao smiled and said, "My conditions are known to the Queen, right?"

"Who else knows about this?"

"Prime Minister Qi."

The Queen slammed her palm on the table and said in a cold tone: "Beiyao, aren't you afraid that I will order someone to kill you today?"

Hearing the Queen's words, Bei Yao was suddenly stunned. A cold feeling spread from his limbs to his chest, making it impossible for him to maintain the smile on his face.

But he still stood up and said, "It is true that Beiyao's life was given by my mother, but a few months ago, I was looking for medicine for my mother in the desert, and my life was hanging by a thread. Even if I had given my mother a life, now that the queen wants my life, you should first ask yourself if you have the ability to kill me."

He went to Hanzhou just to retrieve the gift he wanted to give to the queen.

If I hadn’t met Xuyuan, nothing would have happened afterwards.

Without Xuyuan's rescue, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of Zhuifengtang.

"Can you repay all that I have given you?"

"Besides life, what have you given me?"

Bei Yao lowered his eyes, gently lifted his sleeves, revealing a belt around his waist.

The moment he saw Luozi, a faint smile appeared on the corners of his lips: "I didn't know what family affection was before. I thought that if I was like my brother and had a wealth of knowledge, my mother would look at me more. But later I realized that if she doesn't like me, she doesn't like me. My mother likes my brother and hates me. No matter what I do, even if I die in front of her, she won't frown."

"Family love should be like this necklace. Although it is not valuable, the love inside it is priceless. I was born into a royal family, but no one has ever treated me sincerely. Even this necklace was given to me by someone else. If I could choose, I would rather be born in an ordinary family than in this cold and distant palace."

After Bei Yao finished speaking, he used his cloak to cover the belt hanging around his waist, and also to block the queen's cold gaze.

He said, "Empress, have you thought about it carefully? Which one do you want to choose?"

"No matter how much you say, you are no match for the prince."

The queen looked at Beiyao, her eyes still cold. She held the scroll for a long time before she said, "Beiyao, if a third person knows about this, I will never let you go."

Clearly he won, and it was clearly the expected answer, but when Bei Yao heard it, sadness still spread out little by little.

Tears silently flowed down her cheeks, leaving only slightly red corners of her eyes.

Bei Yao took a step back and bowed, saying, "I'll take my leave."

The queen said nothing.

Several maids around her looked at the queen, but did not dare to speak.

The main hall of Fengyi Palace has a tall gate.

When Bei Yao was young, he often hid behind the stone lions outside Fengyi Palace, quietly watching the Queen and Bei Yuan study together.

At that time, he hated the high gate of Fengyi Palace, which prevented him from seeing his mother.

Today, he still hates it.

Thinking of this, Bei Yao turned around and looked at the queen, and asked, "Mother, am I really your biological son?"

Perhaps Beiyao's expression was too broken, and the maidservant beside him said, "Your Highness, you were born after the Queen's pregnancy for ten months, how can it not be real? You and the Queen are cut from the same mold."

The queen held her forehead and said nothing.

Bei Yao smiled but didn't respond.

The moment he stepped through the gate of Fengyi Palace, he turned around, knelt down, and said loudly: "Your son asks the Queen Mother to cancel the engagement."
