The ministers had different thoughts when they saw the Queen's attitude.

Mu Yan accepted the Queen's praise generously and nodded again, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

Seeing her calm look, the Queen nodded with satisfaction again.

"The county guard has done a great job in repelling the enemy. If you want any reward, I will satisfy you."

Everyone understood the meaning of the Queen's words. The Queen had already decided what reward she would give her, and these words were just a passing statement.

Everyone present thought that the county guard would say that it was all up to the Queen.

Unexpectedly, she actually started to think seriously, as if she was carefully considering what kind of reward she needed.

Mu Yan looked serious and knelt on the ground with his back straight.

"Your Majesty, I have three wishes in this life."

As soon as these words came out, the Queen's interest was instantly aroused.

You must know that her ministers dare not mention their trivial wishes in public.

"Go on."

After receiving the approval, Mu Yan pursed his lips tightly and looked serious.

"First, I wish that Dongning will live in peace forever. Second, from that day when I was granted the title of Magistrate of Longcheng County, I made an oath in my heart to be loyal to Your Majesty forever."

The first two wishes for Her Majesty the Queen are very useful. After all, everyone wants someone who is loyal to them without any distracting thoughts.

But it was different when it came to the ears of those ministers.

They cursed in their hearts this little county governor who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, but he actually flattered the queen right away.

Their faces were expressionless, but they despised such behavior in their hearts.

Xiangguo, who was sitting in the first place, showed no expression at all. He only thought that Mu Yan was a loyal person.

Mu Yan didn't say the third wish for a long time, but it aroused the Queen's curiosity.

"What are the three wishes?"

Speaking of the third wish, a suspicious blush appeared on the serious-looking Mu Yan's face.

She calmed down and said with a trembling voice, "My third wish is to marry the person I love."

The Queen instantly understood that since ancient times, heroes have always had a hard time with beauties.

It seems that even this upright-looking girl cannot escape.

"Tell me who the governor's sweetheart is, and I will make the decision for you."

Mu Yan looked excited and looked at Xiang Guo, who was sitting in the first place.

"When I was an official in Longcheng, I was in danger once. Fortunately, the young master of the prime minister came to rescue me. From then on, I fell in love with the young master at first sight. I would not marry him but him. I beg your majesty to make the decision for me."

After saying that, the entire banquet fell silent for an instant, and even the queen's face, which was still smiling, darkened.

The eldest princess next to her was even more angry, and the murderous intent in her eyes seemed to tear Mu Yan into pieces.

Ruan Jing and the second princess had a hint of surprise in their eyes. They didn't expect Mu Yan to be so bold.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the word "crazy" in each other's eyes.

It's okay to say that Mu Yan didn't know the Queen's plan. She knew the problem. She wanted to steal people from the Queen's hands openly.

Ruan Jing knew Mu Yan's plan, but he didn't expect her to move so quickly, but it was more to her liking.

If she had gone crazy like this, why had she and Jing Qingyu been separated for so many years?

Mu Yan lowered his head respectfully and knelt on the ground, not seeing the eyes of everyone.

Although the Queen's face was smiling at the moment, the smile did not reach her eyes. She was trying to figure out Mu Yan's intention.

As soon as he entered the city, he wanted to marry the son of a high-ranking prime minister. This idea was so bold.

Mu Yan raised his head to accept the Queen's scrutiny. She only wanted to marry the one she loved and could not think of so many twists and turns.

Seeing that her eyes were firm and there was no trace of distracting thoughts, the Queen threw the question to the Prime Minister who was sitting aside.

"Xiangguo, your brother is asked to marry you, what are your plans?"

The Prime Minister came forward in fear and knelt down, "Chen..." As soon as the word "Chen" came out, he closed his eyes, "It's all up to your Majesty." She neither refused nor agreed.

But the Queen understood that the Prime Minister agreed.

There was a hint of coldness in her eyes, "How can I decide the matter of marriage by myself? It is said that the young master of Xiangguo, I want to listen to his opinion."

How could the courtiers not know that she intended to marry Ruan Yu to the eldest princess?

But now that Mu Yan is so involved, it is impossible to grant a marriage to the eldest princess.

How can a royal person marry a brother who has a private relationship with others?

Mu Yan pretended to be puzzled. She didn't know why she was in this situation because she just wanted to marry a husband.

The Queen took in all her expressions, and the original coldness had dissipated, replaced by deep exploration.

The eldest princess on the side couldn't hold back and wanted to step forward to express her love, but was frightened by the queen's majestic gaze and sat back down.

If she interferes again at this moment, she will undoubtedly destroy the royal family's face.

Rumors will spread throughout the palace and outside the palace, and the eldest princess is trying to steal the hero's favorite husband, and she will be punished.

In just two quarters of an hour, Ruan Yu hurried to the banquet venue under the guidance of the female officer.

He saw his mother, father and Miss Yan kneeling on the ground. He didn't know why, so he also knelt down and kowtowed.

"Ruan Yu, Prime Minister's Office, pays homage to Your Majesty."

This question broke the silence of the banquet. The Queen put down the tea cup in her hand and stared at him.

Ruan Yu was a little nervous. He didn't know what was happening. His mother, father and Miss Yan would all kneel together.

He glanced at Mu Yan quietly, trying to suppress his panic.

Seeing his little action, the Queen finally spoke.

"Ruan Yu, the governor said that she and you will be privately engaged for life, is this possible?"

Ruan Yu raised his head in shock and looked at Mu Yan, then his ears and cheeks turned red, and he lowered his head in shame.

"But there is such a thing."

The clear voice spread throughout the banquet, causing all the ministers sitting here to take a breath.

The Prime Minister's Mansion really wants to cancel the Queen's marriage.

The queen asked again, "The governor said you saved her, but is this happening?"

She just wanted to know if Mu Yan lied.

But she didn't know that Ruan Yu often acted with Mu Yan, and his receptive ability was already very strong.

Ruan Yu's face was still red, "It's true, I saved her, and then Miss Yan fell in love with me at first sight and pursued me relentlessly, so I agreed."

The final sound was as thin as a mosquito or a fly, but it was still heard clearly by everyone present.

The two people's testimonies were consistent, and Xiang Guo's face was extremely wonderful. She had no idea that her brother had hidden so many things from her.

Suddenly she looked disgusted.

You must know that no one can accept that his brother has a private life with someone, and so many things have happened.

The person who is most happy to see this matter come to fruition is the Prime Minister.

At first, she was thinking about how to damage Ruan Yu's reputation so that he could not become the rightful king of the eldest princess.

However, now that sleepiness met the pillow, everything was as she wished.

She stood up, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the county governor and the young master of the prime minister are very happy with each other. If they can get married, it will be a match made in heaven."

After hearing her words, everyone in the Prime Minister's party expressed their agreement, and even the Second Princess stood up to support her.

Seeing the Prime Minister's sudden interference, the Queen felt unhappy.

Ruan Yu was originally a chess piece in her hand, but now that the chess piece was about to jump out of the chessboard, she was so happy.

"Jinghong also thinks the two of them are compatible?"
