Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 431

"Daddy."

The sound of "Daddy" shocked everyone in the hall. No one thought that the emperor's newly adopted daughter would be the daughter of a businessman from Xifeng Kingdom.With such an identity, she can be regarded as a noble lady.

His Majesty Dakun was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't think that the adopted daughter he recognized would have such an identity.Surprised, he looked at Shang Rui whose tears kept falling, and opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Under the main hall, there is a handsome middle-aged man.Those slender eyes were full of excitement and disbelief, looking at Shang Rui above the hall.The outstretched hand trembled, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.

"It's really Rui'er, my poor daughter. Do you know how anxious you were for your husband after you disappeared? The whole business house has been looking for you. Seeing that you are fine now, I feel relieved for my husband gone."

The owner of the merchant, Shang Yu, the father of Shang Rui's body, spoke in relief.It seems that he is very happy to see his daughter.

As if sensing the weird atmosphere in the hall, Emperor Xifeng suddenly realized that he looked at Shang Rui and said, "I thought Princess Chiayi looked familiar, but she turned out to be the eldest lady of the merchant. Ruier, can you Remember Uncle Huang?"

"Naturally, Rui'er remembers Uncle Huang. Uncle Huang was very kind to me." Shang Rui wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and smiled brightly at Emperor Xifeng.

"It's good that you're fine now, what are your plans for Rui'er in the future?" Emperor Xifeng looked at Shang Rui lovingly, but he glanced at his absent-minded son intentionally or unintentionally.

Shang Rui lowered her head slightly and squeezed her hands tightly together.As if he had made up his mind, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Emperor Dakun.Then he knelt down on the ground.

"Father, Chiayi misses Xifeng very much now. I miss my family, so I want to go back to Xifeng with His Majesty for a while."

Shang Rui's words stunned everyone in the hall, and they looked at her with uncertain expressions.

"Since Chiayi has made such a decision, I will naturally agree to you. After being separated from my family for so long, I naturally want to go back and have a look. But Chiayi is my adopted daughter, and you will always be my Dakun's Chiayi princess. If you have been wronged in any way, just come back and tell your father. Father will definitely not go around those who made you wronged."

The emperor reached out and rubbed Shang Rui's hair, his tone full of love.He knew the purpose of Shang Rui's trip to Xifeng this time, plus what Shen Wanyu had said to him before.I felt a little more pity for this girl.

Shang Rui had never felt true fatherly love, but the big hand covering her head gave her a warm feeling.Shang Rui's heart couldn't help but twitch, and his eyes turned red involuntarily.

"Thank you, Father."

At this time, the Prince of Xifeng Kingdom who was still in a daze suddenly stood up and walked to the center of the hall.Clasping fists with both hands, he knelt on the ground on one knee.

"Your Majesty, my nephew begs to marry Princess Chiayi as the Crown Princess of Xifeng Kingdom."

The words of Prince Xifeng once again set off a huge wave in the hall, and everyone's jaws were about to drop when they were shocked by this incident again and again. Why did this good palace banquet suddenly turn into a meeting to recognize relatives?

Of the people in this hall, only Shen Wanyu and Chu Mohan remained unchanged.Like a bystander, quietly watching the play they arranged.

"This..." Emperor Dakun looked at Emperor Xifeng with some hesitation, frowned and said, "Brother Xi, look at this matter."

After all, this can be regarded as a major event of the marriage between the two countries, and now the prince of Xifeng Kingdom is asking to marry Princess Chiayi.But with Emperor Xifeng here, it is really not the turn of Prince Xifeng to come out and say these words at this time.

"Brother Chu, Rui'er had a marriage contract with my son. It was just because Rui'er disappeared at the beginning, so the marriage contract was over. Now that Rui'er is still alive, the marriage contract must continue to be fulfilled. The only difference is that now My son married Princess Chiayi as a concubine. The marriage between our two countries is naturally a good thing."

From the words of Emperor Xifeng, everyone knew that this was the agreement of the marriage between the two countries.

"Jiayi, what do you think?" The emperor nodded slightly, then his eyes softened and he turned to look at Shang Rui and asked gently.

The emperor's move surprised everyone below.Unexpectedly, the emperor would ask Princess Chiayi's opinion, if Princess Chiayi disagreed.Will the emperor reject this marriage? If the emperor's inquiry just now surprised everyone.Then the emperor's next words made everyone's jaws drop.

"If you don't want to marry Prince Xifeng, I will withdraw this marriage. You are my adopted daughter, the noble princess of Dakun. I leave your marriage to your own decision."

Shang Rui raised her head and looked at the emperor with emotion, she didn't care if the words were true or not.But her heart felt very warm because of this sentence, she turned her head to look at Prince Xifeng who was kneeling on the hall.There was a complicated light in his eyes, and he remembered what Shen Wanyu had said to himself.

"Father is in charge of the marriage in Chiayi." Shang Rui's fair face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head not to look at the expressions of others.

But her behavior fell into the eyes of others, making Shang Rui shy and embarrassed.

"Okay, if that's the case. Then I have complied with Emperor Xifeng's marriage request, and Princess Chiayi will marry Prince Xifeng." The corner of the emperor's mouth was raised, obviously in a good mood.

The marriage between Dakun and Xifengguo was finalized in this way, and congratulatory voices immediately rang out in the hall.

Shen Wanyu watched the drama end with cold eyes, covered the corner of her mouth and yawned in boredom.In this way, the marriage between the two countries was facilitated, and someone might not be able to sit still.Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at Princess Ziyue, who had a flash of anxiety in her eyes, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

When Prince Xifeng heard that the emperor had agreed to the marriage, a look of joy flashed in his eyes.He looked at Shang Rui with burning eyes, stood up and returned to his seat with the emperor's permission.

"Big sister, is this food not to your liking? Qing'er looked at it, you didn't take a few bites."

Suddenly, Shen Wanqing's worried voice sounded in a moderate voice, which just happened to reach everyone's ears.

Sensing that everyone's eyes were on her, Shen Wanyu said without moving her expression, "Thank you for your concern, the second sister, the dishes made by the imperial chef are naturally delicious. It's just that the princess is pregnant and can't eat many things. .”

"Big sister is pregnant now, even if she no longer has an appetite, she still has to eat. Now you are not alone."

Shen Wanqing showed a gentle smile, like a good sister who cares about her sister.

"Yes, Yu'er. You are not alone now, and you can no longer be so self-willed." The old lady sitting at the table beside her nodded in agreement, and she also noticed that her granddaughter hadn't moved much.

"Grandmother, Yu'er knows her own body. You don't have to worry about it, I also ate just now." Shen Wanyu showed a coquettish smile at the old lady, and blinked her eyes.

"Yu'er, I asked the imperial dining room to prepare some soup for you that is very good for pregnant women. It's good to think about it, you can drink more later." The queen mother sitting at the top looked at Shen Wanyu, showing a doting smile .

"Yes, Yu'er will definitely live up to the Empress Dowager's wishes."

Shen Wanyu smiled sweetly at the Queen Mother, and nodded heavily.

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, a little maid brought the soup.Served Shen Wanyu a bowl and put it in front of her.

Shen Wanyu nodded towards the little palace lady, but her gaze was when she saw the hard-to-find powder in the little palace lady's nails.His eyes flickered.

When the little maid stepped back, Shen Wanyu waved to Yu Shui who was standing beside her.Let her come over and whisper a few words in her ear.Yu Shui's eyes turned cold, he nodded and retreated quietly while everyone was not paying attention.

Shen Wanyu picked up the small bowl of soup, but she stretched out one hand and blocked it with her wide sleeve.She sniffed the soup in the bowl, and a sneer curled up at the corner of her mouth.

The person who gave the medicine really put his heart into it, and the taste of the stuff inside is extremely mild.If her nose was not more sensitive than average, she would not have noticed it.Since her pregnancy, her nose has become more sensitive to odors.

She raised her head and drank the soup in one gulp, then put the empty bowl on the table.Wiping the corners of his mouth with the handkerchief in his hand, he looked at the empress dowager with a smile.

"This soup is really delicious. I wonder if the Empress Dowager can ask the imperial chef to write a copy of the recipe of this soup and send it to the Hou Mansion after the banquet?"

"Okay, if you like to drink, drink more. You girl should pay more attention to food. It's rare that you like Aijia so much and ask the chef to write a copy for you and send it to the Hou's mansion."

The queen mother watched Shen Wanyu drink a bowl of soup, and then nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing Shen Wanyu drink up that bowl of soup, Shen Wanqing's eyes flickered.There was a sneer on the corner of your mouth, seeing how proud you are smiling now.You will feel better in a while, I hope you can still laugh so proudly.

Shen Wanqing lowered her eyes slightly, hiding the hatred in her eyes.

Shen Wanyu naturally didn't notice the change in Shen Wanqing's expression, she glanced at Princess Ziyue.But just in time to see the flash of complacency in her eyes, she narrowed her eyes.Could it be that Princess Ziyue also participated in the administration of the medicine this time?
"Haha, it is often said that good things come in pairs. Now that Dakun is married to Xifeng Kingdom, how can I, Beimu Kingdom, fall behind. Brother Chu, I, Beimu, are also willing to marry Dakun. I will marry my favorite Princess Ziyue How would you like to marry Brother Chu, His Royal Highness King Han, as an equal wife?"

Bei Muguo's words once again made the hall fall into silence.Everyone turned their eyes to Shen Wanyu, and then looked at the emperor above.Everyone is very curious, what decision will the emperor make?
