Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Chapter 217 I want her

Shen Shen's scalp immediately went numb. He prayed in his heart: Huai Bi, don't tell me, don't tell me, please.

"Shen Shenshen."

Things don't always go as planned, so Mu Yejun spoke.

Shen Shen covered his face with his hands: Welcome to the death scene of the Royal Palace Banquet.

Marquis An and Madam Shen froze.

Emperor Huaisheng and Empress Mu: It is indeed so.

"Shen Shen Shen?" Princess Beiyan Qianyan said in a clear voice, "What a strange name. May I ask which lady is this sitting here today? Please stand up and let me take a look."

Amid the curious gazes of the delegation, Shen Shenshen first glared at Mu Yejun who was looking at her with a smile, then stood up reluctantly, without even looking at Princess Beiyan, and walked straight to the center of the venue, kneeling down to pay homage to the highest power center of Dongxiang.

"Goddess Shen from Anbohou Mansion pays respects to His Majesty and His Majesty. I wish Your Majesty a long life and the Queen a thousand years of life."

The three princes also looked at her.

The most popular woman in the capital recently is Miss Shen Er from the Anbo Marquis's mansion. She was proposed to by both the Yunsheng Duke's mansion and the Zhong Prince's mansion at the same time. Then, because of her, the eldest daughter of the Duke's mansion had her face disfigured. The recent opening of the Heyin Building, each of these events caused a sensation in the capital. The princes were also very curious about her. Who was she that caused the two most popular noble ladies in Dongxiang to fight each other to the point of bloodshed.

After seeing it today, all my doubts have been answered.

Emperor Huai Sheng was also quite curious about her, and was just worrying about not having a chance to call her up to take a look, when this opportunity came.

"Stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Shenshen stood up.

"I remember that Miss Shen has discussed marriage with Prince Zhu of Prince Zhong's mansion?"

Shen Shen bowed and said, "In reply to the Queen, we have already exchanged notes and the wedding date is set for the twelfth month of this year."

"Oh, so she's already got a boyfriend." Princess Qianyan spoke at the right time, "Mr. Mu Ye, Shenshen has already arranged a marriage."

"So what?" Mu Yejun had a blank expression.

"So, you can marry this princess."

"I think the princess has misunderstood. Whether Miss Shen is engaged or not has nothing to do with whether I like her or not."

Princess Beiyan frowned. She didn't quite understand what Dongxiang meant, so she lowered her head to think.

The rest of the people in Dongxiang looked at Mu Yejun. Was this... a statement in front of His Majesty that he would marry no one but Second Miss Shen? Was he trying to compete with the Prince Zhong's mansion?

The fourth prince looked at the gorgeous Shen Shen standing in the middle of the field, and understood. No wonder this Second Miss Shen could make Mu Yejun ignore his big plan and indulge in love, and could also become the last straw that Zhou Yiran used for himself.

As expected, she was stunningly beautiful. As a prince, he had some thoughts the first time he saw her. Can he also take Shen Shen under his command? This way, he could better control the other two. The fourth prince looked at Shen Shen and began to ponder.

"You are holding a jade tablet, so stop talking nonsense." Queen Mu's eyes flashed and she rebuked him lightly.

Mu Yejun bowed and said, "I have overstepped my bounds."

Emperor Huai Sheng did not care, "Hey ~ Queen, let me handle my own affairs." He then said to Shen Shen, "I heard that Second Miss Shen is very popular in the capital recently."

Shen Shen hurriedly bowed, "Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I don't deserve it. It's mainly because of your majesty's greatness. Because Dongxiang is peaceful and prosperous, the weather is good, so I can do whatever I want in the capital. In the end, it's all thanks to your majesty."

"Hahaha, Marquis Anbo, I love to hear your daughter speak. I feel comfortable when you flatter me."

Marquis Anbo hurriedly stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. It is because I, an old minister, did not teach my daughter well and spoke without restraint."

Shen Shenshen reacted and thought to herself that her old father was still good at talking. "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being rude. I am not exaggerating, I am speaking the truth. Although I have never been out of the capital, I have a maid in my house who can sew. Her family lives in the countryside outside the capital. My mother has eye problems and I have a younger brother. My father does odd jobs for others. The whole family mainly relies on the monthly salary she earns from mending clothes for me in the Marquis's mansion."

She had a sweet look and a clear voice, and she spoke to everyone in a leisurely manner, and everyone listened attentively.

"I thought this maid's family was in a very difficult situation, but she smiled and told me that her whole family felt very happy. Since she was born, there has been no war in Dongxiang, the Marquis's Mansion does not deduct wages, and there are many rewards during festivals. The whole family has enough food and warm clothes, and her younger brother can go to school. She said that Your Majesty is a wise ruler, and their whole family hopes that Your Majesty will live a hundred years. If Dongxiang is always so peaceful, the people will have a good life. Your Majesty, this is not what this maid said, but what the maid in your house said. She also asked me to kowtow to Your Majesty and the Queen if I see them one day."

After saying this, Shen Shen knelt down and bowed deeply, "This humble servant has no special abilities, I just hope that Your Majesty will live long and long, and Your Majesty will live a thousand years and a thousand years."

The entire banquet was silent.

Eunuch Liu beside Emperor Huai Sheng thought: This Second Miss Shen is no simple person. I'm afraid the Marquis An's Mansion will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future.

As expected, Emperor Huai Sheng remained silent, but Empress Mu knew that His Majesty was very excited at this moment.

"Good. Very good. It's worth my hard work in reviewing memorials every day. Finally, finally, there are people who remember my kindness." Emperor Huai Sheng patted the armrest of the dragon throne with some excitement and looked at Marquis Anbo, "My dear minister, you are good and you teach your daughter well."

"I am deeply awed. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your praise."

"Second Miss of the Shen Mansion, is there anything you want? I can grant it to you."

Shen Shenshen was not stupid. The emperor was just being polite and he couldn't take it seriously. Besides, his family's Ziyuan had everything he wanted.

"Your Majesty, I have just asked for your Majesty and the Queen to live a hundred years. I have no other request."

"Hahaha, Lord Shen, your daughter is very cunning. Forget it, I won't embarrass you, child. Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Shenshen quickly returned to his seat and sat down.

The mysterious man from Nanxiang had been looking at her, as if he was planning something. Shen Shenshen pretended not to see it, and ate the cakes from the palace on the table with small bites.

Princess Qianyan of Beiyan was about to speak when the man beside her grabbed her wrist and shook his head at her. Princess Qianyan bit her lower lip and finally did not speak again.

At this time, someone stood up and walked to the center of the venue, saluting to Emperor Huai Sheng.

When Shen Shenshen saw this person, his heart skipped a beat. Is he finally going to take action?

The fourth prince Zhu Jizhan bowed to his father and said, "Father, today I have a treasure to present to you." He looked at Emperor Huaisheng and continued, "Please allow me to accept this treasure."

Emperor Huai Sheng was about to nod slightly to show his agreement when he heard a voice.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Nanxiang also has treasures to present to Your Majesty."

The tall and straight man with wheat-colored skin who had been staring at Shen Shenshen today stood up, spoke the Dongxiang language not very fluently, walked to the side of the Fourth Prince and interrupted his treasure offering.

Zhu Jizhan suppressed his anger and said to the man with an unhappy look on his face: "This envoy from Nanxiang, I don't know the rules of Nanxiang, but it is very impolite to interrupt other people's speech and actions in Dongxiang."

The man was not angry. He bowed slightly to the Fourth Prince and said, "I'm sorry. Seeing the Fourth Prince presenting his treasures, I... I also want to present our Nanxiang's gift. Let's see whether the Fourth Prince's gift is better or the Nanxiang's gift is better."

"Oh? Interesting." Emperor Huai Sheng became interested, "Prince De, let's do as the Nanxiang envoy said and compare them."

The Fourth Prince suppressed his anxiety and said respectfully to Emperor Huai Sheng: "Your son will obey your father's order." He turned to the man and said, "You are a guest from afar. I will present the treasure first, and the envoy from Nanxiang will present the treasure later. You will be the last one to present the treasure. How do you think?"

"All is fine." The envoy said expressionlessly.

"What good things will Prince De give to my father today?" Emperor Huaisheng was very interested.

The fourth prince clapped his hands, and immediately a eunuch came forward with a tray covered with a red cloth. He stretched out his hand and lifted the red cloth, revealing a jade Buddha statue with a green body.

"This is..." Emperor Huai Sheng looked at the Buddha statue, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Hotan Jade Buddha?"

"Your Majesty, you have a good eye." The fourth prince smiled, "This Buddha statue is carved from the finest Hetian jade, and it is lifelike. I have specially found it and present it to your Majesty. I wish your Majesty good health and prosperity for the country."

Emperor Huaisheng nodded with satisfaction, "Prince De is thoughtful."

Upon seeing this, the corner of Nanxiang's mouth slightly raised. He waved his hand gently, and the entourage behind him stepped forward and handed him an exquisite wooden box.

"This is the most precious treasure of my Nanxiang - the Night-Shining Pearl of the South China Sea." The envoy opened the wooden box, and a round and smooth pearl emitting a faint blue light appeared before everyone.

"Wow!" There was a cry of exclamation in the hall.

Emperor Huai Sheng picked up the Night Pearl and looked at it carefully, with an admiring look on his face, "What a treasure! This pearl is really rare."

"It seems that this competition is too close to determine the winner." Emperor Huai Sheng said with a smile, "I am very happy and will give generous rewards. What reward do you want, Envoy Nanxiang?"

The man raised his hand and continued speaking in the awkward Eastern language, "Your Majesty, this young master wants her."

Everyone looked in the direction of the man's finger, and saw that it was Shen Shenshen.
