Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 349 Reception Banquet, Provocation
Shen Wanyu looked at Chu Mohan, and saw her winking at him.Immediately understood what he meant, but felt a slight warmth in my heart.No matter when, he always protects her like this.

The emperor glanced at Chu Mohan, his face changed slightly.With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, he said in a deep voice.

"Come here, add a table beside me for Princess Rou Ning and Prince Han to sit over."

The eunuch immediately followed the emperor's instructions and added a table and two cushions beside him.The food was served again, and then he retreated to the side.

Chu Mohan stood up and walked in front of Shen Wanyu.He stretched out his hand to hold her little hand, and walked towards the head step by step under the gaze of everyone.

Everyone's eyes fell on the two of them, and there was a flash of surprise in their eyes.The looks of these two people are unforgettable at a glance, standing together is like a pair made in heaven.

With an elegant smile on the corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth, she let Chu Mohan lead her to the table and sit down without looking sideways.And Chu Mohan's gentle eyes, and his thoughtfulness to Shen Wanyu made countless women feel envious and jealous of Shen Wanyu.

"This is the newly named Princess Rouning, Shen Wanyu, the daughter-in-law of Beining Hou Mansion, right?"

A deep and majestic voice sounded, and Shen Wanyu looked over at the sound.He saw a middle-aged man with a handsome face, but there was a bit of cunning hidden between his brows.

"That's the emperor of Xifeng Kingdom—Xi Sheng, who is quite cunning and sophisticated."

The corners of Shen Wanyu's mouth overflowed. It was the first time she heard that an emperor was evaluated as cunning and sophisticated.But she will never forget the due etiquette, especially at such a reception banquet.

She stood up slowly and bowed gracefully.The smile on his face was respectful and soft, just right for people to find no faults.

"Wanyu has met His Majesty Xifeng Kingdom, I wish His Majesty good luck and prosperity."

Xisheng, the emperor of Xifeng Kingdom, narrowed his eyes slightly.The girl in front of her is dignified and virtuous, and she has the temperament of a lady all over her body.She is indeed a woman who can move the heart of even the prince Han, who has never been close to women.

"Get up, she's a nice girl."

Shen Wanyu smiled slightly, thanked Emperor Xifeng for his compliment, and sat back beside Chu Mohan.It seems that it is difficult for her not to attract others' attention this time.She was just a little puzzled, why did the emperor push her to the cusp of this storm.

You must know that even the emperor's princesses are not qualified to sit here with this honor.She looked at the emperor with probing eyes, but was cast a comforting look by the other party.

Shen Wanyu calmed down and lowered her head slightly.No matter what purpose the emperor has, it is enough for her to know that the emperor will not harm her.After all, the emperor still depends on her if he wants to recuperate his body.

After the emperor announced the start of the banquet, music sounded in the hall.The dancers walked in slowly in light dance skirts, and then began to dance lightly.

Shen Wanyu lowered her head and ate the dishes on the table, trying to minimize her presence.It's a pity that some people don't give her this chance at all, and they always want to provoke her.

"I heard that Princess Rouning's painting is a masterpiece. I don't know if I have the honor to compete with Princess Rouning?"

Even in the midst of the music, the voice that was as crisp as a ding-dong bell was still clearly heard by everyone, and everyone's eyes fell on the girl who was speaking.

A flash of amazement flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Shen Wanyu who was sitting next to Chu Mohan and was still eating with downcast eyes.They can't be blamed for being surprised, after all, the woman who spoke is no less beautiful than Shen Wanyu.

The girl stared at Shen Wanyu with burning eyes, and after a while she still didn't get an answer from Shen Wanyu.His brows were slightly frowned, feeling a little displeased in his heart.

"Princess Rouning, can I compete with my courtier?" The woman's voice suddenly rose several times, making the originally pleasant voice a bit harsh.

Shen Wanyu put down the chopsticks in her hand, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.She didn't remember that she had provoked this girl, but where did the provocation and hatred in her eyes come from.Her gaze involuntarily shifted to Chu Mohan's body. Could it be this monster's rotten peach blossom again.

Chu Mohan was aggrieved by Shen Wanyu's stare.He didn't seem to provoke her, so why was she staring at him again.

Shen Wanyu raised her head slowly, tilting her head slightly.Everyone knows that she, Shen Wanyu, has mastered nine out of ten skills in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, leaving only one thing that she doesn't know.And she said that, didn't she just want to see her jokes?
"Miss, let the emperor welcome the other three kingdoms today. This is not a competition between you and my little girl."

Shen Wanyu's voice was extremely gentle, and her words were soft and muffled.Chu Mohan's body was numb when he heard it, and he raised his eyes and glanced at the man below who had his eyes on Shen Wanyu.A cold light burst out from the eyes, which turned into sharp swords and pierced into their hearts.

"Princess Rouning's words are wrong. Our competition is also a performance for the banquet, so why not do it?"

Shen Wanyu raised her eyebrows, and glanced at the girl lightly.It seems that this young girl has made up her mind that she must compete with herself.The bright red lips pursed slightly, and a faint light flashed in the lower eyes.

"Since Miss, you must compete with me, then the princess will agree to you. But since it is a competition, there must be some prizes. I don't know this lady, what is your prize?"

Shen Wanyu suddenly smiled and raised her jaw.Looking down on the woman standing below, there is a condescending feeling.The contempt and disdain in her eyes deeply stimulated the girl below.

"Since Princess Rouning said so, then our prize is..." The woman paused slightly when she said this.Burning eyes fell on Chu Mohan beside Shen Wanyu, a provocative smile curled up on the corner of his mouth: "If I win, then he will become mine."

The woman's bold words caused everyone below to gasp, no one expected it.This seemingly gentle woman has such courage.But soon everyone's eyes fell on Chu Mohan and Shen Wanyu.

After all, the relationship between these two is known to everyone in Dakun.The two really love each other, especially Prince Han's extreme care for Princess Rouning.

Shen Wanyu narrowed her eyes slightly, it seems that this woman is really here for evildoers.It's just that such a glamorous girl, how could she not have any reputation in Kyoto.She quickly searched for information about this woman in her mind, but there was nothing at all.

Chu Mohan's face was covered with frost, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to condense the air into ice.He squinted his eyes, and a dangerous light flashed in them.He stared at the woman coldly, but saw that she didn't seem to be afraid of him at all.Instead, she met his gaze and smiled brightly at him.This smile was somewhat similar to Xiao Yu'er's, which made his frown even tighter.

Suddenly there was a bit of tension in the hall, and it was as quiet as if a silver needle fell to the ground and could be clearly heard.The emperor's eyes fell on the two of them, and the corner of his mouth suddenly raised a curve.

"This lottery seems to be a bit too much. The marriage between Princess Rouning and Prince Han was bestowed by me personally. The so-called king is not joking, today's lottery will be given by me. Come on, let me take the light of glory that I got a few days ago." Take the mountain."

When Shen Wanyu heard about the Mountain of Light, her eyes flickered slightly.If she remembers correctly, the Koh-i-Noor is the name of a precious diamond, produced in the Kola Mine in India, and the rough stone is said to weigh 800 carats.Originally ground into a rose shape, it weighed 191 carats.This diamond has caused disputes between the Indian government and the British royal family, and its history can be traced back to the fourteenth century.

I don't know if the Mount of Light that the emperor mentioned is what she thought.If it is true, then this brick is even more valuable.There's no masonry here, after all, and it seems like a good idea to use it to create a pair of her-and-his exclusive rings.

While Shen Wanyu was meditating, the little eunuch had already brought a box.The emperor took the box and opened it.The Koh-i-Noor inside immediately attracted everyone's attention.Especially the gazes of those young girls and noble ladies, regardless of whether ancient or modern women seem to have little resistance to bricks and stones.

Shen Wanyu's eyes lit up when she saw the Mountain of Light.Sure enough, it was masonry, and she must get it.

"The emperor is really willing to part with it. This minister of the mountain of light heard that it is something from overseas. I didn't expect the emperor to get it."

Suddenly someone spoke, and everyone heard his words.It can be said that I like the Mountain of Light even more.He was even more jealous of Shen Wanyu and that girl, and it seemed that the Koh-i-Noor would fall into the hands of one of these two people today.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to change the lottery of this competition. However, Wan Yu hopes that if Wan Yu wins this competition, can the Mountain of Light be rewarded to Wan Yu?"

Shen Wanyu blinked suddenly, and looked at the emperor with a smile.Seeing the emperor's brows furrowed slightly, she pouted and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, you know the level of Wanyu's painting skills. If Wanyu wins, isn't it worth rewarding again?"

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, Shen Wanyu had never learned to draw at all.I don't know if he knows the first point, but everyone in Kyoto knows it.So if she wins this competition, it will really surprise people.

"Okay, just do as you say."

Shen Wanyu nodded with a smile, and then her eyes fell on the girl.Glancing at her lazily, he taunted: "I use my weakest to your most proficient. If I win, then you will be my slave from now on!"

Shen Wanyu's words once again plunged the entire hall into a strange silence.
