Chapter 447 King Jin, what do you think about this?
The reception banquet was held in Jingrui Palace, and Xiao Weijing and officials from Honghong Temple entered the palace early in the morning to host it.
As the Princess of Jin, Shen Ning also had to attend. She dressed up in a hurry and entered the palace in the afternoon.
After entering the palace, I first went to the Queen Mother's palace to say hello, and stayed with her chatting until about the hour, and then went to old Granny Bailian to say hello.
In the absence of Xiao Weijing, Concubine Yi was neither embarrassed nor sarcastic. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law understood each other tacitly and tried hard to maintain a superficial peace, making every question and answer seem friendly and polite.
Not wanting to chat with her sisters-in-law, Shen Ning almost attended the finale. When she stepped into Jingrui Palace, all the envoys had arrived.
The South Vietnamese envoy had a coffin-like face, but he was crouching in a prairie costume, with Zhang's cultivated facial features and a smile on his face.
His eyes passed over Shen Ning, his smile did not diminish at all, but his eyes were extremely unfamiliar.
Well, his reaction is quite satisfying.
But the deputy envoy next to him suddenly stood up, looking shocked and excited, "Princess Daya!"
The deputy envoy was in his fifties, with a face full of vicissitudes of life. When he saw Shen Ning, he looked as if he had seen a ghost, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.
Shen Ning turned a deaf ear and walked towards Xiao Weijing, but her eyes secretly glanced at Shen Huairen.
As expected, when he heard Princess Daya, his body froze.
Deputy envoy Namu walked out of his seat and blocked Shen Ning's path, "Princess Daya."
Shen Ning was startled by the rude man and subconsciously hid behind Xiao Weijing, "Your Majesty."
Princess Jin was unparalleled in beauty, and her appearance brought with it a halo that attracted attention. Now she was blocked by the Mongolian envoy, and all eyes in the palace swept over her.
Who is Princess Daya? Princess Jin is the biological daughter of Prime Minister Shen.
"The Emperor has arrived."
Everyone returned to their seats and quickly saluted the emperor.
After lying flat, everyone sat down at their seats.
Shen Ning held Xiao Weijing's hand and gently hooked his fingertips into his palm. He knew how to play.
According to etiquette, all envoys came to see him.
The envoys from each country went out to salute one by one.
Shen Ning attended the diplomatic dinner for the first time. It was quite interesting to listen to the officials of Honglu Temple translate the languages of the countries with which they have diplomatic relations and both sides express their greetings at the national level.
Mongolia ranked last, and the Min Dynasty language, which is extremely familiar to both squatters and namu, directly expresses the warm greetings from the Golden Tent.
The old emperor was in a good mood, nodding and talking about the situation.
After the etiquette process was completed, Kuuda and Namu were supposed to return to their seats, but Namu suddenly said, "Your Majesty, on behalf of the royal court, I have a heartfelt request."
The old emperor thought for a while and then said after a while: "Please speak."
"I have been missing Princess Daya for 20 years. Emperor Simei has been eager to send people to search for the East Continent for 20 years with no results. Today I saw Princess Jin and I was shocked. She actually looks exactly the same as Princess Daya. It is really surprising. .
Is there anyone so similar in the world who dares to ask Princess Jin who is her biological mother?"
The old emperor looked surprised, "Princess Jin, are you similar to your mother-in-law?"
Tsk tsk tsk, he is going to cause trouble!
Even though he is the emperor, Shen Huairen is the prime minister, and there are so many banquets held in the palace throughout the year. How could he not have seen Mrs. Shen.
The King of Jin has a high reputation among the people. Once the people learned that Shen Ning had the blood of the Mongolian royal family, they could not accept this fact either emotionally or due to border friction.
The courtiers will be even more worried because the birth of King Jin is not worthy of publicity. The Princess Jin also has the blood of the Mongolian royal family, and the children she gave birth to are of impure blood.
Those who are not of my kind will be punished.
The Dog Emperor is really ruthless. He uses people to go forward and not people to go behind. Even his own son is eager to kill him.
Shen Ning stood up and returned the greeting, "Back to my father, although I was born from my mother's tenth month of pregnancy, I have no similarities."
"This is impossible." Nammu was a little passionate and quickly ordered to bring the portrait of Princess Daya to show the true appearance of the beautiful woman from the grassland for four thousand years in front of hundreds of officials.
The officials looked at them and dared not say they were exactly the same. They were simply the same person.
The old emperor was shocked, stroking his beard and thinking carefully: "Princess Jin, I still remember what you said about genetic phrenology. I wonder if it is really possible for people who are not related by blood to look exactly the same?"
Shen Ning answered truthfully, "The world is full of wonders. It is true that some people who are not related will look very similar, but at most they are only 70% to 80% similar."
Even if the leaves from the same tree are similar in shape, it is impossible to find them exactly the same, let alone those that are not related by blood."
The old emperor asked, "So, why do you look so similar to Princess Daya of Mongolia?"
Shen Ning was neither arrogant nor humble, with a bit of grievance on his face, "Father, why do I look similar to Princess Daya? I should ask my father for this. After all, children's looks are given by their parents, and children cannot do anything about it." Answer this question."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to Shen Huairen.
Namu couldn't hide his excitement, "Mr. Shen, the newly crowned princess said that no matter how similar people are who are not related by blood, they will never look exactly the same. Could it be that you tricked my princess into hiding her beauty in the golden house?"
"Insolent!" Shen Ning yelled angrily: "Messenger Namu must be careful, my father has a deep love for his mother's family. Even if he takes a concubine, he keeps it in the backyard openly. How can I allow you to insult me like this!"
"Princess Jin, you said it yourself. When did I insult your father?"
The Mongolian envoy's words were degrading and polite, but there seemed to be nothing wrong with him, so his eyes turned to Shen Huairen again.
Shen Huairen's face was extremely ugly. He remained silent for a moment and stood up to go out of the queue. He knelt down to plead guilty and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty."
The old emperor pretended, "What's the crime of loving me?"
"Back then, Jujing was pregnant with twins. This was supposed to be a great thing. Unexpectedly, one of the fetuses died during childbirth. It happened that the servants of the mansion picked up a baby from outside two days ago and brought it back to be raised. I was afraid that my wife would be too sad. So he took the child and held him under his knees.
That child back then was my daughter Shen Ning.
Ah Ning is cute, I regard her as my daughter from the bottom of my heart.
It has been twenty years since this incident, and Wei Chen has never mentioned it to anyone, not even my wife knows about it."
"Xiang Shen is confused." The Minister of Rites jumped out and sternly accused: "As a court official, you adopted the baby without knowing the origin of the baby without repenting. Afterwards, you even asked the emperor to grant a marriage to the King of Jin. What are your intentions?"
"After more than ten years of raising him, I regard Aning as my own flesh and blood. If the envoy hadn't brought it up today, I would have forgotten that this happened."
At this point, Shen Ning did not hesitate to expose his shortcomings, and Shen Huairen's sophistry was useless, "This matter is due to my negligence, and I ask the emperor to punish me."
The old emperor had a complicated expression, but he was not in a hurry to convict Shen Huairen, and looked at Xiao Weijing, "Prince Jin, what do you think of this matter?"
