After breaking off the engagement, the daughter-in-law of the Hou family drove the boss in the capit

When the envoys from Western Shu came, Emperor Dongshan specially held a dinner in the palace to welcome the envoys from Western Shu.

All the aristocratic families in Qingyang City received invitations to attend the dinner, and Lin Jianyue was no exception. She changed her clothes early, put on makeup, and got on the carriage to enter the palace.

When Lin Jianyue entered the palace, she found that the palace was already full of people, and everyone's seat had been arranged early.

For example, Shen Qingmiao's seat is towards the front, while Wang Tang's seat is at the end. Fortunately, Wang Tang and his mother don't care about this, and they feel more comfortable sitting in the corner.

As the princess, Lin Jianyue should have been placed closer to the front, but today her seat was arranged very far back. Many ladies who were not as good as Lin Jianyue were in front of Lin Jianyue.

"Second sister!" Lin Cheng walked beside Lin Jianyue, a little dissatisfied with the arrangement of the palace officials. His second sister was the princess after all, and her position was too far back.

Lin Jianyue patted Lin Cheng's arm. She was not very angry about this. Instead, she pulled Lin Cheng to sit down and greeted the ladies on the left and right with a smile.

"There's nothing wrong with sitting here!" Lin Jianyue said softly. On such an occasion, Lin Jianyue didn't want to be in the limelight, so the further back the better. As for whether the palace people arranged this arrangement to flatter others and despise others, Lin Jianyue did not Don't care.

Lin Cheng saw that the second sister didn't mind this, so he wasn't so angry.

Lin Cheng now lives in the Princess's Mansion, and everyone has understood that Lin Cheng and Lin Jianyue have now become a family. Although they think it is ridiculous, everyone just talks about it behind his back.

After sitting down, some young officials would come over to chat with Lin Cheng. These were his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy.

Lin Jianyue just sat there with a smile on her face, watching Lin Cheng's easygoing exchanges with his colleagues. At some point, that young man began to look like an adult.

At this moment, Lin Jianyue was very happy and emotional. At this moment, Lin Cheng turned around and looked at Lin Jianyue. When he saw the relief in Lin Jianyue's eyes, Lin Cheng only felt a feeling of joy in his chest. They are all high-spirited.

He is finally no longer the child hiding behind his second sister. He now has broad shoulders and can become her second sister's support.

After a while, everyone had already sat down, and Lin Cheng also sat down. Emperor Dongshan arrived belatedly, and everyone stood up and saluted as Eunuch Zhuo shouted.

Lin Jianyue knelt behind the bustling crowd, glanced at Dongshan Emperor's vigorous steps, and then at the two young figures following Dongshan Emperor, who were Crown Prince Yang Shi'an and Shen Weixun.

After all, Emperor Dongshan was still dissatisfied with the prince's actions in the past few days. Even if he relieved the prince and allowed him to receive the envoys, he still asked Shen Wei to seek help.

It sounds nice to be helping, but in fact, it is because he does not recognize the prince's ability, and is afraid that the prince will be embarrassed and lose face in front of the Western Shu Kingdom.

After everyone sat down, Eunuch Zhuo shouted out in a high voice, "Xuan! The envoy from Western Shu is here!"

Voices were conveyed one after another, but after a while, a dozen envoys from Western Shu were seen slowly walking into the main hall, with tall and straight postures.

"I've met Emperor Dongshan!" The envoys from the Western Shu Kingdom headed by Duan Xu saluted. They did not kneel down, but simply saluted with both hands.

The Emperor of Dongshan glanced at it, but did not show any displeasure. He smiled and said, "Everyone from Western Shu has traveled thousands of miles to come to Dongshan. The journey has been hard. I have a special banquet today to welcome you all!"

"Thank you, Emperor Dongshan!" The envoy from Xishu smiled and thanked him, and was led to his seat by the palace attendants. Next, I heard Dongshan Emperor and Xi Shu coming to greet each other, and they all said high-sounding words. Lin Jianyue was bored and did not dare to touch the food on the table. She felt very bored for a moment.

"Your Majesty, my father asked me to come to Dongshan Kingdom this time for the sake of good relations between the two countries! For this reason, I want to ask your Majesty for a marriage, and I hope your Majesty can agree!" Duan Xu stood up, holding the wine bottle and suddenly said.

This is not surprising. Over the years, marriages between the two countries are not uncommon. For example, Emperor Dongshan also had concubines from the Western Shu Kingdom in his harem.

The year before last, there was also a princess who came to Xishu, which symbolized the good relations between the two countries.

"Oh? I wonder which lady of the family the Eighth Prince has chosen?" Emperor Dongshan asked with a smile. Nowadays, Emperor Dongshan has no princesses of the right age except for the five princesses in the temple, so Emperor Dongshan feels that this time the Western Shu Kingdom wants to choose among the ministers.

Emperor Dongshan didn't care about these, let alone the daughter of a courtier, even his own daughter, Emperor Dongshan could send her away for marriage without blinking an eye.

After hearing this, the ladies in the boudoir who were not yet engaged couldn't help but lower their heads, for fear that they would be spotted by the Eighth Prince.

Even if the eighth prince is a talented person and a prince of a country, that is Xishu, a place he is unfamiliar with, and any girl who wants to marry there will have no place to say anything even if she is bullied.

In the past few years, many of the women who got married died of illness, and none of them had a good ending. If the two countries are on good terms, that's all. If the two countries are at war, the first one to suffer is the married woman.

When Shen Weixun heard the eighth prince's words, his heart tightened for some reason and he had a bad feeling.

The Eighth Prince suddenly turned his attention to Lin Jianyue in the corner, and Lin Jianyue's eyes flashed, right?

"When I entered the city, I met a woman by chance. I was astonished and fell in love with her. I fell in love at first sight. I thought we were destined to be together, but I didn't want to see this woman at the palace banquet today. I also asked Emperor Dongshan to grant me a hand in marriage. I am willing to use I will marry this girl as a royal concubine!" Duan Xu said, already pointing his finger at Lin Jianyue.

At this moment, everyone was shocked. Some were worried about Lin Jianyue, while some women felt that they had escaped.

Shen Weixun almost lost his composure and stood up, but it was his sister Shen Qingmiao beside him who held the corner of his brother's clothes to prevent Shen Weixun from losing his sense of proportion.

Duan Xu just looked at Lin Jianyue, boasting that the words he proposed were full of temptation.

There have been many marriages between the two countries in the past few years, but they were all married as side concubines, and never as the principal concubine, let alone the principal concubine of a prince of the same country. If the eighth prince Duan Xu can ascend the throne in the future, then Lin Jianyue will be the queen.

"This" Dongshan Emperor hesitated.

If Lin Jianyue was just a princess, Dongshan Emperor would definitely agree. But behind Lin Jianyue was the Cheng Family Fort. Lin Jianyue himself also held countless wealth. If Lin Jianyue was allowed to marry, it would not be given to Xishu in vain. A golden mountain, Dongshan Emperor is not so confused.

For example, today Emperor Dongshan specifically ordered Lin Jianyue to be moved to the back just to prevent this from happening, but he didn't want the West Shu Kingdom to take advantage of it.

Emperor Dongshan didn't believe that Duan Xu really fell in love at first sight. Not only Emperor Dongshan didn't believe it, but Lin Jianyue didn't believe it either.

"The Eighth Prince doesn't know something, and I am ashamed of Princess Jianyue. Therefore, I will let Princess Jianyue make her own decision regarding her marriage!" Emperor Dongshan acted the same way and threw all the problems to Lin Jianyue.
