Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 106 Do you want to marry the prince?
In Shoukun Palace, the Empress sat beside the Empress Dowager and pushed back all the maids who were waiting on her side.In the entire luxurious warm pavilion, only Nanny Gui and the confidant maid beside the two were left to serve.

The maid at the side poured hot tea for the two of them, and the changed ones retreated to the side.

"My queen, this year's Hundred Flowers Banquet just happened to coincide with the arrival of the little princess Mu Zhirui of Mu Lu Kingdom. The emperor wanted to hold the little princess' reception together with the Hundred Flowers Banquet."

The queen held the exquisite teacup in her hand, and blew away the hot air on it.

"Why does Mu Luguo suddenly want to send their little princess here?" The queen mother frowned slightly, although Dakun was not the strongest country among the four kingdoms.But due to the good economic development, it is the richest of the four countries.And this Mu Lu country is just a small country affiliated to Da Kun, famous for its rich pearls.

In previous years, at the end of the year, various affiliated congresses of Dakun sent envoys or princes and princesses to send tribute.However, Mu Luguo suddenly wanted to come before the Hundred Flowers Banquet, which seemed a bit strange no matter what.

"Yes, the emperor said that Mu Luguo got some huge and round pearls a few days ago. I heard that they are once in a hundred years, so they specially sent them personally by their most beloved little princess Mu Zhirui." The queen Putting down the teacup, her long fingers rubbed against the edge of the teacup.

"This reason makes people unable to find fault, and it also prevents us from finding a reason to refuse." The queen mother raised her head to look at the calm queen, thought for a moment and asked: "Do you know that Mu Luguo's What kind of girl is little princess Mu Zhirui?"

The queen was slightly taken aback, and then she thought for a while before she spoke: "I heard that she is a rare beauty, and she was raised by the queen mother of Mu Luguo since she was a child. You also know that the queen mother of Mu Luguo was also a beautiful woman when she was young. Amazing, how can the woman trained by her be so bad."

The queen mother narrowed her eyes slightly, and withdrew her hand holding the teacup.It's not that the woman is not simple, she is fierce and ruthless.If it wasn't for being a woman, she might be the emperor of Mu Lu Kingdom now.

"I think she was the one who brought the little princess of Mu Luguo here this time. Her mind hasn't changed a bit over the years. She still has such a strong desire for power."

"What do you mean, queen mother?" The queen looked at the sneering queen mother with some doubts. She had always known that something seemed to have happened between the queen mother and Mu Luguo's queen mother when they were young, but because it was all in the past, she never Asked.

"The prince is now at the age of choosing a concubine. You said that for a small country like them, if you want to get the most favorable protection, the best way is to marry a big country. And its Mulu country is a subsidiary country of my Dakun. If Marrying with one of several other countries. That is equivalent to being sentenced to Da Kun, do you think Da Kun will let Mu Luguo go?"

The queen mother put down the teacup heavily, and the water in the cup overflowed and spilled on the smooth table.

"The prince will never choose a princess from a small country as his concubine no matter what. It doesn't make sense for her to do so." The queen also frowned. The minister's daughter is not as good.Even if the Queen Mother Mu Luguo sent someone here, she might not necessarily become the Crown Princess.

"Hmph, you don't understand. The purpose of that woman is not to be a crown princess. Although a princess of a small country cannot become a crown princess, she can become a side concubine. If she brought it up to the emperor, would the emperor not give it to her?" Face? In the future, if the crown prince really ascends the throne, then the position of the queen belongs to the princess. But whether she can sit firmly in the end depends on the queen's own ability. Over the years of Dakun, how many queens have grown from a small The concubine did it."

The queen mother sighed, and she patted the queen's hand: "Ni'er, do you think every queen is as lucky as you? I think Aijia suffered so much in this harem for this position. The emperor I have a heart for you, and you are also generous. There are Aijia backing you in the harem, and those who are ambitious don't dare to act rashly. But you think they are so honest, I am afraid that the following small actions will not few."

The queen's eyes were slightly red, and it had been many years since the queen mother called her so affectionately.The empress was Gui Gejiao Yunmanni before she got married. At that time, the empress dowager often sent her to accompany her in the palace, and she liked to call her Nier at that time.

"Queen, Nier is not magnanimous. Is there any woman in this world who is willing to share her husband with other women, but Nier has always known that she is the queen, and Nier's husband is the emperor. He is destined not to belong to Nier alone. One person. After so many years, the emperor has not forgotten that I have treated me as before. I am already very satisfied, and I don't care about those concubines who compete for favor."

"I have always known that you are kind-hearted, but if one day the Ai family is gone and the crown prince has not ascended the throne, if you are still so gentle at that time, how will you protect the crown prince and your own succession?"

The Queen Mother's face became serious, she looked at the Queen whose eyes were still red with a slightly gloomy complexion.Even though I feel reluctant in my heart, sometimes people still have to push.

When the queen heard it, she felt suffocated.Feeling sore in her heart, she bit her lips: "Mother, you have always been in good health, why are you not here? My daughter-in-law forbids you to say such things."

"Silly boy, people are going to die in the end. It's just a matter of time, queen, since the emperor has entrusted this matter to you. Then the Ai family will not ask about this matter, but the Ai family hopes that this time you You have to show the courage your queen should have, and don't let Aijia down."

The Empress Dowager looked at the Empress solemnly. There is no room for a woman who is too kind in this harem.She originally wanted the queen to live a good life under her protection, but someone actually reached out to her Shoukun Palace, and she had to force the queen to take action by taking advantage of this incident.

The queen clenched her palms tightly, and she nodded solemnly: "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows what to do."

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, she watched the queen grow up.Although kind-hearted, she is an extremely intelligent woman.If she can really be ruthless, no one will be able to take this back position from her hands.

Luo Yimei, you were no match for me back then.Now your granddaughter will be like you back then, and will never be able to gain a foothold in Dakun.

"Mother, look at the prince who took the initiative to accompany Wanyu to the imperial garden today." The queen suddenly remembered the abnormal behavior of the prince today, and felt a little worried.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face softened a little.A flash of calculation flashed in her wise eyes, she looked at the queen and said slowly: "You said that since Wanyu was injured last time, has she changed a lot?"

"Well, that child has become more sensible than before. In this way, Man Rou can rest assured." The queen mentioned Shen Wanyu and her sister with a gentle face and a little more tenderness in her eyes.

"Even the two of us can see the change in Wanyu's girl, how could the prince not see it? In the past, the prince hated Wanyu's savage willfulness, but now a person has undergone earth-shaking changes. According to the prince's heart, he How could you not be curious?"

The grandson she likes, she still knows a little about the prince's temperament.Among all the princes, only the prince and that person have the same temperament as the current emperor.

"But is this okay? The crown prince has become curious about Wanyu, what should he do if he suddenly wants to marry her? Wanyu has already made it clear to us that she does not want to marry the crown prince."

The queen was still worried, one was her own son.One is my beloved niece, if both of them are interested in each other, it's okay, but if one is interested and the other is not, it will be difficult.

"We old people should not interfere in these matters. The prince is no longer a child. If he can't even handle his own affairs well, what ability does he have to sit in that position?"

The queen mother doesn't have so many worries, who can explain clearly about emotional matters.Maybe in the days to come, the two will fall in love with each other.

"Okay, let's not talk about these things. It's almost noon, the empress will stay and have lunch with Ai's family." The queen mother stopped the topic, and called Nanny Gui to tell the imperial dining room to prepare lunch.

Shen Wanyu stood in front of Jingting Lake, looking at the calm lake.The heart disturbed by the prince gradually calmed down, her dark and bright eyes were cold and deep.

Standing behind her, Qiuzhu and Nanny Yu glanced at each other, but neither of them dared to ask.They were standing far away just now, and they didn't hear what the prince and his young lady said.

However, judging from the young lady's expression and mood at the moment, it seems that the conversation between the two of them was not pleasant.

Shen Wanyu clenched her palms tightly, her delicate lips pursed into a straight line.What is wrong with His Highness the Crown Prince? How could he suddenly say such a sentence.The good mood in the morning was ruined by him.

"What is Xiao Yu'er thinking about so preoccupied, is she thinking about this son?"

Suddenly a deep and teasing voice sounded, and Shen Wanyu followed the voice.From a distance, he could see Chu Mohan in a moon-white brocade robe walking towards her, with an evil smile on his monstrous face.

The wind by the lake gently blows his black hair scattered on his shoulders, and as he walks, the corners of the moon-white clothes embroidered with flowers flutter.For a moment, Shen Wanyu was in a daze, looking at him like a fairy walking from the sky.It's just a pity that the moment he opened his mouth, he destroyed this indifferent and elegant beauty.

"Yeah, I've been thinking about you. Wherever I want to go, I can meet you as a persimmon."

Shen Wanyu withdrew her gaze and looked at the calm lake.At this moment, my heart really calmed down, and I forgot all the unpleasantness before.

"This can only show that this son and Xiao Yu'er are destined to meet each other in such a big palace." Chu Mohan walked to Shen Wanyu's side and stopped, looking at the sparkling Jingting Lake with her side by side.

Shen Wanyu gave him a pair of supercilious eyes, neither of them spoke.Just quietly looking at the lake, Qiuzhu and Yumao stood behind them and retreated quietly.

After a long time, Shen Wanyu turned her head to look at Chu Mohan who had been silent all this time.Golden sunlight shone on his handsome side face, with a tall nose and deep and charming Danfeng eyes.Perfect lips, resolute jaw.He is completely the darling of heaven, and all the best things in this world are given to him.Good leather, distinguished status.

"Come with me to Baibao Pavilion today."

Shen Wanyu withdrew her gaze and lowered her head slightly.Staring at his toes, what should be done still needs to be done.She did not forget that the two made an appointment to find her master today.After a while, the Shang Academy will start, and she will find her master and persuade him to teach before then.

"Okay." Chu Mohan responded lightly, and there was no evil charm or ridicule in his deep voice: "Xiao Yu'er, do you want to marry the prince?"

Shen Wanyu was taken aback by his sudden question, she suddenly raised her head to look at Chu Mohan with serious expression.For a moment, he didn't know how to speak.

She naturally didn't want to marry the prince, that was not the life and love she wanted at all.It's just that it was strange for her to be asked so bluntly by Chu Mohan.

"Do you want to marry the prince?" Chu Mohan stared closely at Shen Wanyu, as if he wanted to see her thoroughly.
