Chapter 187 Sincerity
Under the eager eyes of everyone, Shen Furong closed the empty box again and raised the black cloth in her hand again:

"Now, please let our envoy Wu Yuanlie come out!"

When her voice fell, the black cloth in her hand also fell, and then the box was reopened, and everyone saw Wu Yuanlie, whose face was as heavy as water, came out from inside.

At the same time, Xiao Tianmo quietly returned to the crowd.

At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to Shen Furong and Wu Yuanlie who were in front. No one noticed Xiao Tianmo coming back, just as no one noticed him leaving before.

Seeing Wu Yuanlie come out safe and sound, Wu Yanji, the envoy of the Northern Qiang Kingdom, immediately walked over to him and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

Wu Yuanlie shook his head, raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Tianmo in the crowd, the gloom in his eyes flashed.

It was this man who suddenly appeared before, dragged him out of the box, and dragged him into the secret door on the other side.

When he was struggling, the two of them passed a few tricks. This man is very powerful, and all his tricks are better than him. His strength is not weak.

Following Wu Yuanlie's line of sight, Wu Yanji also saw Xiao Tianmo in the crowd. He immediately whispered in Wu Yuanlie's ear:

"He is the eldest son of the former Marquis Xiao Jingnian, Zhenwei General Xiao Tianmo. I heard that he is brave and good at fighting, capable of both literature and martial arts, and is highly valued by the emperor here."

Wu Yuanlie's eyes darkened when he heard the words, "Do you know if he is married?"

Wu Yanji raised his eyebrows and seemed a little surprised that Wu Yuanlie actually cared about Xiao Tianmo's private affairs. He thought about it and replied:
"I heard that he hasn't married yet, and he hasn't set a marriage plan with anyone."

Wu Yuanlie nodded invisibly, looked at Xiao Tianmo again, and then turned to Shen Furong not far away.

When she was performing just now, that Xiao Tianmo was behind to help. I don't know what the relationship between the two was.
Shen Furong was assisting Xiyue in commanding the maid and the palace maid, packing up all the props she used just now, and suddenly felt that the back of her head was swept away by a glance.

She turned her head and found that Wu Yuanlie was staring at her.

She smiled, revealing a line of neat and clean teeth, and said to Wu Yuanlie:
"I offended you just now, thank you for your cooperation!"

Her smile was clean and agile, as bright as the sun, the sullenness in Wu Yuanlie's eyes gradually dissipated, and the corners of his lips slowly twitched.

Because of Shen Furong's outstanding talent show, he won the recognition of the envoys of the Northern Qiang Kingdom, and the emperor Longyan Dayue immediately gave Yuruyi a handle to show the award.

……

Sitting on the carriage back to the mansion, Shen Furong held the Yu Ruyi gifted to her by the emperor, while playing with the red silk on it, she cracked her mouth and smiled.

This jade ruyi is green and green, how much would it be worth if it was brought back to modern times, so she had to keep it well.

Moreover, whether something is precious or not, and whether it is valuable or not, is the second priority. This is a gift from the imperial family, and its meaning is very different.

Old Madam Zhou was still sitting in the same carriage as Shen Furong.

At this moment, her eyes were also on Yu Ruyi in Shen Furong's hand, and she turned round and round, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Unexpectedly, the granddaughter she has always looked down on, and such good fortune, such a jade Ruyi, if it is put into the dowry when she gets married, who would dare to look down on her husband's family?

It's just a pity, she won't let this granddaughter marry into an ordinary family, her real intention is to send this girl to have a kiss, and the Queen's concubine's intention is the same.

Mrs. Zhou recalled the meaningful words Empress Yu said to her when she was leaving the palace, and she became more and more certain of her thoughts.

Maybe not long after they returned to the palace, the emperor's decree for marriage arrived.

At that time, this girl was named a princess and married to the Northern Qiang Kingdom. She would be the master of this jade Ruyi and enshrined it in the ancestral hall, which could represent the glory of the Zhou family.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou felt that it was necessary to explain a few words to Shen Furong, so she put on a kind-hearted look and said slowly:
"Furong, your performance today really impresses grandmother. Grandmother looked down on you before."

Shen Furong raised her head and looked at Madam Zhou, a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes.

She heard it right, Mrs. Zhou, who has always looked down on her, would actually praise her?

Why does she always feel like a weasel is greeting the chicken for the New Year.

Sure enough, the next second, I only heard Mrs. Zhou continue to say:

"You must also know that this banquet is for the royal family to choose a noble girl to be a princess and go to the Northern Qiang Kingdom to have a relationship. You performed very well at the banquet just now, and you will definitely stand out.

Grandma knows that you are a child who cares, but there are some things that grandma still has to tell her.

It is your blessing to be able to marry the emperor of the Northern Qiang Kingdom as a country, but after you get married, remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, live a peaceful life, and never compete for favor or jealousy. In the event of family and country affairs, you must not do anything that betrays my dynasty..."

Shen Furong frowned when she heard this, and interrupted Old Madam Zhou's chatter directly:

"Grandmother, you think too much, I won't go to kiss."

"what?"

Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, her face changed greatly, and she said angrily:

"Ridiculous! What kind of nonsense are you talking about, child? Since ancient times, marriages, the orders of parents, the words of matchmakers, how can you decide whether to go and marry?"

When the old lady Zhou said this, her tone was suddenly severe:

"You can be named a princess by the royal family, that is a gift from heaven, and it is the honor that our Zhou family can't ask for.

For the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries, it is even more of a great honor. You keep saying that you can't have a relationship now. Isn't this willful nonsense?

Besides, if you don't want to go to kiss, why do you want to go on stage to perform talent? "

Shen Furong rolled her eyes secretly, saying that she was not going to sacrifice her for fame and fortune.

"When I came to the stage to perform my talent, I was chased by a duck. I just didn't want the envoys of the Northern Qiang to look down on my noble daughter, and I didn't want to have a kiss."

"Hmph, no matter what, it's up to you whether to go and kiss!"

Mrs. Zhou's eyes were stern and cold, her tone was tough, and she was very disgusted with Shen Furong's ignorant attitude.

She wanted to have a good communication with this girl, so as to save her from the reputation of being unkind, but if this girl doesn't eat hard, oil and salt, I'm afraid she can only force her to go.

Shen Furong saw through Old Madam Zhou's mind at a glance, she sneered in her heart, and said slowly:

"Grandmother, even the emperor has rewarded Yu Ruyi. I hope that I will be happy in the future. Could it be that my grandmother wants to disobey the Holy Order?"

When Mrs. Zhou heard Shen Furong's words, her face was gloomy, and her face seemed to be dripping water, which seemed to be a sign before the storm, which was really frightening.

Shen Furong looked at her without fear, and in this silent battle, it was up to whoever couldn't hold on first.

The confrontation between the two sides was silent, and no one refused to bow their heads.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage curtain was pulled open, revealing Zhou Xuezheng's surprised face:

"Huh? Mother, Furong, they are all at the gate of the mansion, why don't you get out of the car?"

Madam Zhou finally raised her eyelids, took a deep look at Shen Furong who couldn't see the expression on her face, and raised her head high.
