Thinking this way, Xu Zhaoning once again entered the original owner's residence. She tremblingly replied, "My name is Xu Zhaoning, I'm the first daughter of Loyalty Duke's Mansion."

These words were definitely not a problem, but it was not the best answer to Jun Haotian's question. Jun Haotian's face turned ashen and he stopped talking. Noble Consort Xu, who was beside him, smiled sinisterly. She wished that Xu Zhaoning would kill her.

"Royal Grandmother, Father, Ming has an important request."

Ever since Xu Zhaoning had entered the hall, Jun Muming's expression had always been gloomy. This time, seeing Xu Zhaoning standing there with her head lowered, not knowing what to say, Jun Muming suddenly became angry again.

The empress dowager was currently in a good mood and wanted to break the awkward atmosphere in the palace, so she gestured for Jun Muming to speak frankly.

"Ming wants to cancel the marriage with Xu Zhaoning. I hope Royal Grandmother and Father will agree." Originally, he wanted to say that he had let Xu Zhaoning off, but he was worried that Xu Zhaoning would grab the unmarried son to refute him.

"Ming, stop messing around!" This marriage was promised by This Dowager to Princess Shuyun. " The empress dowager scolded Jun Muming, but Xu Zhaoningmin noticed that the empress dowager wasn't really angry.

In other words, Her Majesty didn't approve of this marriage. As long as Jun Muming could give the proper reasons, she could agree at any time.

"Royal Grandmother, Ming is the crown prince and to a certain extent, he represents the face of Lingyun Kingdom. Ming's future spouse must be a tens of thousands of girls. But take a look at Xu Zhaoning's disgraceful appearance, how could she have any of Crown Princess's grace. If she were to marry into our clan, what would be disgraced is our Lingyun Kingdom Imperial Family's face! "

The empress dowager seemed to have been left speechless by Jun Muming as she looked at Xu Zhaoning with a troubled expression. "Sister Ning, what do you think about this matter?"

Due to the empress dowager's words, everyone in the hall focused their gazes on Xu Zhaoning, including Si Jingyu.

Xu Zhaoning used her wide sleeves to viciously pinch herself. Tears streamed down her face from the pain. Only then did she look at the empress dowager with a sorrowful expression that had never been seen before.

"Empress Dowager, Zhaoning doesn't want to break the engagement with the Crown Prince. Zhaoning knew since she was young that she was going to marry the Crown Prince. For so many years, Zhaoning has always requested for herself according to Crown Princess's standards."

Xu Zhaoning's words were not a lie. In the original owner's memory, Jun Muming was the source of all hope and happiness for the original owner. Everything she did was to get closer to Jun Muming.

But now, this person said he didn't want her, so he didn't want her. Due to the remnant emotions of the original owner, Xu Zhaoning really did manage to replace him. His eyes reddened, and he felt extremely depressed.

"But I don't like you!" Seeing that his Royal Grandmother seemed to be infected by Xu Zhaoning, Jun Muming yelled out anxiously.

Xu Zhaoning came back to her senses. She lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, dissipating some of the original owner's grief and indignation. He put on the mood of watching a good show and started a new round of dramatic events.

"I know, the one that His Highness likes is my Second Sister. That's right, I don't have Second Sister's thriving family support, Mrs. Lin's virtuous mother's upbringing, nor do I have the favor of imperial concubine aunts. It's only right that His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't like me.

I am also surnamed Xu, and I am still the first daughter of Xu Family. I can persuade Grandfather to support His Highness, or I can stand behind the crown prince like Imperial Concubine Yi. I can also … "

"Xu Zhaoning!" Noble Consort Xu shrieked as she interrupted Xu Zhaoning. She stood up from the chair with a pale face and knelt before the emperor. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Your Majesty, please forgive me. Xu Zhaoning has nothing to hide. Chenqie will bring her back to the palace and discipline her."

As if she was frightened, Xu Zhaoning quickly rushed to Noble Consort Xu's side and held her hand in confusion, "Aunt, what's wrong with you? Zhaoning was right, as long as I marry the crown prince, wouldn't our Loyalty Duke's Mansion be related to the imperial family? When that happens, grandfather and aunt will be closer to the crown prince. "

"Shut up!" Noble Consort Xu didn't care about her appearance at this moment. She just hoped that Xu Zhaoning wouldn't say anything else.

The Emperor was suspicious of his character, so he was usually wary of court officials forming parties and working in private. Even the communication between the princes would receive too much attention.

Her father was loyal and valiant when he was young, and he fought alongside the Emperor during the war. He had done many meritorious deeds in order to obtain today's glory. It was precisely because of this that Loyalty Duke's Mansion had always been loyal to the Emperor, and did not interfere with the princes and parties. She hoped that Xu Yanran marrying the crown prince was also part of her private collaboration with Lin Loong.

After all, she currently had no son, so she could only use Xu Yanran to win over the Crown Prince.

However, even if the reasoning was clear, it couldn't be stated in public. Now, not only did Xu Zhaoning declare her goal, she even added salt and vinegar to it, dragging the Loyalty Duke's Mansion down as well.

At this point, Noble Consort Xu wanted to kneel before the emperor. "Your majesty, Sister Ning is still young and can't speak clearly. I hope Your Majesty won't take her heart to heart."

But how could the emperor not take it to heart? He looked at Jun Muming with a cold expression. "I will ask you, do you really not like this young miss Xu Family?"

"Your son really doesn't like Xu Zhaoning." Jun Muming gritted his teeth and replied. He looked at Xu Zhaoning with a dagger-like gaze.

"Very good, then tell me, who is the person you truly like, is it Xu Family Second Miss?"

Noble Consort Xu's cold voice was filled with the anger of an emperor. When she heard this, she trembled in fear, afraid that Jun Muming would insist on admitting that she liked Xu Yanran. This way, her Xu Family really wouldn't be able to escape.

Luckily, Jun Muming's brain worked fast enough, he endured the pain and clenched his teeth, "No, that's not it. I just don't like Xu Zhaoning's pettiness and don't like any other girl from Xu Family."

Jun Haotian's expression was clear as he looked at the crown prince with a warning look, as if he wanted to confirm that the crown prince was not lying.

The Crown Prince's face was tense until Jun Haotian finally stopped looking at him.

"Since the crown prince does not like Miss Xu Family, let's forget about this marriage. If mother feels ashamed of Princess Shuyun, then reward her a little. In the end, the imperial family owes her."

These words were said by Jun Haotian to the empress dowager, but it also caused Noble Consort Xu and Jun Muming to heave a long sigh of relief. Noble Consort Xu no longer needed to worry about her Xu Family getting tired, while Jun Muming was satisfied with their decision to break off the engagement with Xu Zhaoning.

"Sister Ning, come over here and let This Dowager have a look." The empress dowager waved at Xu Zhaoning with a smile, as if she had no idea what had just happened.

"Your majesty is right. A forcefully twisted melon is not sweet at all." Your mother saved my life back then, and now that she is no longer here, I'll leave this gratitude of yours to you to accept. Tell This Dowager, what reward do you want? "

Xu Zhaoning lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time. Just when the empress dowager was about to run out of patience, she raised her head with a wronged look and said, "Almost everyone in the capital knows that Xu Zhaoning is going to marry into the imperial family. "But now that the marriage is over, Zhaoning, in the name of being annulled, will no longer be wanted."

These were childish words, but they were also true. The empress dowager and the emperor looked at each other and thought for a moment. She at least knew a little about the matters within the Loyalty Duke's Mansion.

If it was just a simple gift of money, there really wouldn't be many people who could get their hands on her. Besides, besides having a good marriage relationship, there weren't many things that a girl with Lingyun Kingdom could ask for.

"Then, how about I give Sister Ning another marriage?"

"Then, can Zhaoning choose the person to marry?"

The empress dowager was stunned. She thought of a little girl living in the inner chamber and wondered how many people could be more outrageous. She agreed immediately, treating it as an indication of her attitude.

"Sure!"

"Then can I choose him?" Following Xu Zhaoning's excited voice, a small hand pointed at Si Jing and Yu without the slightest hesitation.

Everyone present was stunned!
