The resentful best friend travels through daily life

Chapter 262 Marriage

It was late at night, but the Fengtian Hall was brightly lit.

The entire Chaotian Hall was covered with yellow and red silk. Half-human-sized luminous pearls were placed in eight directions in the hall. Three hundred palace maids filed into the Chaotian Hall and arranged the food on each table in an orderly manner.

There was a table filled with all kinds of delicious food and fine wine. Even before the ministers arrived, the singing girls and dancers had already arrived, dancing and singing to the lively atmosphere of the hall.

Shen You's seat was next to the Queen, a treatment only legitimate princesses could enjoy, while the princes could only sit below the Emperor.

The Shen family didn't come, saying that they were afraid of embarrassment. After all, Shen You is a princess, but she is also the daughter of the Shen family, and it would be difficult to deal with the mess if the time came.

Zhou Ning followed Cui Wangmei and sat in the front middle seat, attending as the daughter of the Cui family.

Oh, Zhou Wan didn’t come. She said that the children couldn’t leave their mother, but in fact, Zhou Wan was a little scared of such a situation.

"Are you doing well with your pregnancy? You're about to give birth, right?" Zhou Ning had nothing to do, so when he saw Cui Wangmei's belly was so big, he said a few words of comfort.

Cui Wangmei touched her round belly happily and said, "It's OK. The baby in my belly is very obedient. It's already seven months old. My husband was afraid that I would have an accident, so he didn't let me go out. But I was bored staying at home all the time, so I wanted to go out for a walk."

Zhou Ning munched on some melon seeds and nodded, "You can walk, but be careful not to slip. Get someone to help you."

"I understand." Cui Wangmei smiled and said, "You and Bai Zhao have been engaged for a long time. You will soon reach the age of marriage. When do you want to get married? I can prepare for you in advance."

The ladies from noble families would prepare things for their wedding six months in advance.

Zhou Ning laughed dryly: "It's too early. It will take a long time for me to get married. You should just take care of your baby first. If it's a girl, you will have to prepare a dowry for her."

"I actually hope that the child can be a boy." Cui Wangmei said with emotion, "I have a brother myself, so I know that having a man in the family is very useful. If my child is a boy, he can also support you and your sister. Although I don't doubt Bai Zhao's feelings for you, people's hearts are unpredictable. If he treats you badly in the future, you will always have your brothers to support you."

Zhou Ning raised an eyebrow, looked at Cui Wangmei's belly, and said, "When it comes to support, it's best to support yourself. If you can support yourself, why do you need brothers? Besides, if my relationship with Zhao really reaches the point where I need the support of my mother's family, then what is the point of this husband coming? I'd better get rid of him as soon as possible."

Bai Zhao, who was on night shift: A-choo! Who is talking about me?

Cui Wangmei looked at Zhou Ning worriedly. This child has a stubborn temper and would rather break than bend. She was afraid that he would suffer a lot in the future.

Not long after, the eunuchs shouted: "The Emperor has arrived."

"The queen has arrived."

"..."

Shen Lin and the Queen entered one after another, followed by Song Lingyu, Song Lingyun, Shen You and a group of princes.

Since then, everyone shouted in unison "Great blessings and good fortune" and the like, the emperor and the empress said a few auspicious words, and everyone said a few more blessings, and half an hour had passed.

When they arrived at Yangwu, the envoys came to meet the emperor.

Kong Sanghai and Kong Sangling came forward and said, "Prince Kong Sanghai of Yangwu and Princess Kong Sangling come to see Your Majesty."

Although Yangwu was a defeated country, Shen Lin did not want to embarrass him, so he asked him to sit down and exchange a few words while watching the singing and dancing.

After the song and dance ended and everyone was enjoying the dinner, Kong Sanghai suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I have a treasure I want to present to you."

Shen Lin put down his chopsticks, his eyes unchanged, and asked: "What treasure? Show it to me."

Kong Sanghai winked at his subordinates, and something half a person's height covered with a red cloth was presented to them.

Kong Sanghai opened it with his own hands, and it turned out to be a piece of glass.

This colored glass shows colorful light under the candlelight, which is very beautiful.

"Okay!" Shen Lin happily asked someone to present the colored glass to him and touched it personally. "You Yangwu are so honest. I don't know what I should reward you with."

Kong Sanghai was overjoyed and immediately said, "I don't want anything, I only want Her Royal Highness the Princess."

Kong Sanghai glanced at Shen You and said, "Not long ago, Her Royal Highness the Princess welcomed my delegation, and I fell in love with Her Royal Highness at first sight. I hope Your Majesty will fulfill my admiration for me. I will marry the Princess and I will protect her and stay together forever."

Everyone present was silent.

Marriages between states were common, but when they thought of Princess Kongsangling coming to Daqian to be a consort, they never thought of letting the Princess of Daqian marry into the family.

Shen Lin had already drunk three cups of wine, his face flushed, his expression dizzy, and he said, "Okay, I will give the princess to you."

Shen You was stunned and looked at Shen Lin in disbelief.

She was not in a hurry because she was sure that Shen Lin would not agree.

Why now... ?

"Your Majesty, no!" Qi Ji knelt down and begged, "The princess cannot marry..."

Qi Ji originally wanted to say that Shen You was engaged to him in order to escape this marriage.

"Shut up!" Shen Lin rubbed his temple and said, "Whenever I make a decision, you get involved. Come, bring Minister Qi. This matter is settled."

After that, the queen said that His Majesty was drunk and dismissed everyone.

Zhou Ning clenched her fists. If they weren't in the Fengtian Hall, if he wasn't the emperor, she would have slapped him long ago.

Kong Sanghai surrounded Shen You, smiling: "Your Highness, it is said that the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is very lively, you..."

Shen You's eyes cut through Kong Sang Hai like a knife, and she said indifferently, "I should go home."

Qi Ji stood not far away, looking at Shen You who was trying hard to hold back her tears, his heart ached.

Shen You held up her skirt and walked step by step with difficulty.

Before she even got to him, Shen You couldn't hold back her tears any longer: "Qi Ji, I want to go home."

Qi Ji held Shen You's face, gently wiped her tears, and said with great cherishment: "Okay, let's go home."

Kong Sanghai just frowned and thought, the bride will be his anyway, why bother about one or two lovers, when they get to Yangwu, no matter how powerful she is, she can't get over his Five Finger Mountain.

Zhou Ning asked Cui Wangmei to go first, intending to go to the emperor alone to find out the truth.

"Miss Zhou Er, do you have a maid?" asked Nanny Li beside the Queen.

Zhou Ning shook her head. She never liked being served by others.

Nanny Li pointed to the woman beside her and said, "This is Yuhe. The Queen asked me to bring her here to serve you. It's dark and the road is slippery, so please walk carefully."

Zhou Ning looked at the "maid". She had an average appearance and figure, rough hands, and a steady look in her eyes. She looked like a woman who practiced martial arts.

Zhou Ning looked at Yuhe for a long time.

"Are you dissatisfied with Yuhe?" asked Nanny Li.

Zhou Ning suddenly understood the emperor's ridiculous behavior today, sneered, and said, "I was just thinking that your majesty is indeed a monarch above all others, and he has calculated us thoroughly. Go tell your majesty... and the queen that I have accepted Yuhe, so they can rest assured."

"Yes." said Nanny Li.
