Chapter 1427 Old cow eats young grass
"I guess so, even though we're all savages together." Nangong Xi couldn't help but complain when he heard that.
Shen Mei: ...
The emotions that I had finally built up were completely destroyed by Xixi's words!
Everyone:...
We are sending so many things over this time, they shouldn't become savages, right?
But that’s not necessarily the case. If they continue to be unlucky and keep shuttling through the secret realm, no matter how many things they have, they will not be enough to consume.
"Mother, Ayang, don't worry, we will be back as soon as possible." Liu Cheng spoke to the void.
He couldn't see the palace at all.
"Okay, I'll hold a wedding for you when you come back." The emperor replied.
"Cheng'er, take good care of Liang'er, we will wait for you to come home." The Queen Mother was still very moved by the fact that Meng Liang was willing to enter the secret realm to accompany Liu Cheng.
So she kind of acknowledged her.
"Okay." Liu Cheng nodded.
At this moment, an hour passed and the scene in front of everyone's eyes gradually became blurred until it disappeared.
"This is the most meaningful birthday I have ever had, Miss Nangong, thank you so much." The Queen Mother wiped away her tears and thanked Nangong Xi again.
"I hope the Empress Dowager likes this birthday gift." Nangong Xi smiled and shook her head.
Princess Jiang Yan, who was standing by, had a dark look in her eyes when she saw this. She knew that since the Third Prince Liu Xiao had his limbs broken, the royal family would not stand up for him.
"Miss Nangong, was it you who cured Mr. Shen's illness?" The emperor looked at Nangong Xi with great curiosity.
"Yes." Nangong Xi did not deny it.
"Xier is the miracle doctor we met on this trip." Old Master Shen also spoke.
After spending some time together, the Shen family members became more familiar with Nangong Xi, and their interactions became more natural.
The way they address each other has become much closer.
When everyone heard that it was Nangong Xi who cured Mr. Shen, they all looked at her in shock.
"Since Miss Nangong's medical skills are so high, could you please treat the third prince?" Princess Jiang Yan said and looked at Nangong Xi.
"No." Nangong shook his head.
"No? Why not? Aren't you a miracle doctor?" Princess Jiang Yan sounded anxious.
"Is there something wrong with your brain? I was the one who beat him up, why should I heal him?" Nangong Xi looked at Princess Jiang Yan as if she were an idiot.
"Puchi..." Shen Mei couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Everyone:...
Miss Nangong was right. Breaking a person's limbs and then going through the trouble to heal them, that would be stupid, right?
"The third prince was injured before because of a challenge in the ring. Now he is asking you to treat him. It is a compassionate doctor. I hope you can recognize your identity. You are now an alchemist." Princess Jiang Yan said.
"So what if I'm an alchemist? I'm just not going to take any action and I'm just going to piss you off to death." Nangong Xi's face was full of disdain.
"You..." Princess Jiang Yan trembled with anger when she heard this.
If the Third Prince Liu Xiao is not cured quickly, what will happen to her marriage?
"Your Majesty, the envoy of Liuyang Empire requests to see you." At this moment, the chief of the palace guards came in to report.
"Please let him in." said the emperor.
Upon hearing this, Princess Jiang Yan collapsed powerlessly in her seat. Everything was over!
It is impossible for my father to choose a prince with broken limbs as his marriage partner.
So Princess Jiang Yan turned her attention to the second prince Liu Po who was drinking calmly.
"Prime Minister Fu Yi of Liuyang Empire pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager." Prime Minister Fu Yi walked in and saluted the Emperor.
"Prime Minister Fu, please do not be polite. Please take a seat." The emperor ordered someone to add a seat for him.
"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, this is a little gift from our Liuyang Empire. Wishing the Queen Mother a long and healthy life." After saying this, Prime Minister Fu ordered his men to deliver the birthday gifts they had brought.
"The Liuyang Empire is thoughtful. Prime Minister Fu must have traveled all the way, please take a seat." The Queen Mother said.
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Prime Minister Fu said and walked towards the newly added seat.
Prime Minister Fu's seat was right next to Princess Jiang Yan's.
"Prime Minister Fu, can we not mention the marriage for now?" Princess Jiang Yan whispered to Prime Minister Fu.
"Princess Jiang Yan, the emperor has made up his mind. You must take part in this marriage." After the prime minister said this, he looked at Princess Jiang Yan.
"This princess is not against the marriage, I just want to postpone it for some time." Princess Jiang Yan said with anger in her tone.
"Princess, you also know that this date was set by the Emperor. If I don't mention it, it would be disobeying His Majesty's order." Prime Minister Fu said in a very calm tone.
"Your Majesty, this is a handwritten letter from our emperor." Princess Jiang Yan wanted to say something else, but Prime Minister Fu had already presented the handwritten letter from the emperor of Liuyang Empire.
"Isn't it said that the Magma Princess is the most favored in the Liuyang Empire? Why is she forced to marry?" Nangong Xi looked puzzled.
"Generally, the one sent by the empire to marry is the most favored one who is well known to everyone." Mrs. Shen, who was not far from her, sighed after saying this.
"I understand." Nangong Xi understood immediately after hearing this!
The princess that others think is the most favored is not necessarily the one that the emperor of Liuyang Empire loves the most.
The further her name of favor spread, the more the emperor desired her.
Just like myself in the past!
"Marriage?" After reading the handwritten letter from Emperor Liuyang, the emperor looked at Prime Minister Fu suspiciously.
In fact, ever since Princess Jiang Yan's sudden visit, he had some idea of the purpose of the Emperor of Liuyang Empire.
But he didn't expect that the Emperor of Liuyang Empire would be so impatient.
"That's right. Princess Jiang Yan is our emperor's most beloved princess. For the sake of friendly development between our two countries, our emperor is willing to give her up." Prime Minister Fu stood up and bowed.
"Oh my! The Emperor of Liuyang Empire is planning to marry the Magma Princess to him as his consort. Isn't it like an old cow eating young grass?" Nangong Xi complained.
As soon as Nangong Xi finished speaking, the surroundings instantly fell silent!
Everyone looked at Nangong Xi in disbelief.
She was the first one who dared to complain to the emperor’s face about his old age and his desire for young girls.
"Sorry, I accidentally said what was in my heart. Please continue." Nangong Xi realized that everyone was looking at him strangely and then he reacted.
Everyone:...
continue?
How to continue?
You say that the emperor is an old cow eating young grass. If the emperor really took Princess Jiang Yan as his concubine.
Then where would he put his old face?
"Your Majesty, our princess has no intention of entering your harem as a concubine. Our emperor means that you can just choose a prince." Prime Minister Fu hurriedly explained when he found the atmosphere around him very strange.
"I wonder which of my princes Princess Jiang Yan has taken a fancy to?" The emperor asked this question even though he knew the answer.
"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Princess Jiang Yan is deeply in love with the Third Prince, so it must be the Third Prince." Old Master Shen said with a smile.
In fact, he was very optimistic about the second prince Liu Po and wanted him to become his grandson-in-law, but he couldn't let him be harmed by Princess Jiang Yan.
"The third prince? Who is he?" Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Fu looked towards the seats where the princes were sitting.
