"Yeah, I didn't expect that Miss Ye and Emperor Zun are still old acquaintances. For Emperor Zun to come to the rescue personally, it shows how much Emperor Zun values Miss Ye."
When she said this, she paused for a moment, looked at Ye Xiyue again, and said with a smile:
"But Miss Ye is so outstanding. Emperor Zun always cherishes talents, so it's no wonder that she is like this."
Ye Xiyue raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
This is really interesting to say.
But before she could speak, a deep and cold man's voice sounded from beside her.
"When the princess is in danger, I will naturally do my best to protect her."
…
Dead silence.
Ye Xiyue clearly felt that the moment Emperor Shitian said these words, the surrounding space froze.
A look of horror could not be suppressed on everyone's faces.
If they were trying to control their expressions and not show too much shock before, they really couldn't care less at this time.
The words of Emperor Shakten were like throwing a huge stone into the lake, which immediately caused a huge storm!
The smile on Cheng Lingsu's face froze, like a mask about to break.
"Wha, what..."
She murmured absently, her nails digging into her palms.
After a brief blank moment, she finally understood the meaning of Emperor Shitian's words. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Ye Xiyue, as if there was a flame burning crazily in her chest.
She opened her mouth and wanted to ask again, but found that no words could come out.
princess……
princess!
What this means is so obvious!
She swayed and almost lost her balance. Cheng Yu on the side quickly supported her, but at this time he couldn't care less about asking about Cheng Lingsu's situation.
What did Emperor Zun say? Ye Xiyue is, is... the princess?!
At this time, even Cheng Chongjun and others who had been relatively calm before were shocked on the spot and their expressions changed.
In the past, ministers in the court had written several times asking the emperor to consider marrying a concubine, but the emperor refused.
Everyone was anxious, but they also comforted themselves. Emperor Zun could not have an empty harem forever, and this matter had to be put on the agenda after all.
Furthermore, if the emperor's status is uncertain, every family will still have a chance.
This hunting competition is an opportunity.
Many of the daughters of aristocratic families participating in this competition have this idea, hoping to perform well in the hunting competition and win the emperor's favor.
Who knew that Ye Xiyue would suddenly appear halfway!
Without any warning, the emperor spoke and promised the position of princess!
…
"Emperor, this..."
Cheng Chongjun quickly adjusted his expression and tried to sound calm,
"The establishment of a concubine is of great importance. Although Miss Ye is excellent, it is too hasty. This... I wonder where Miss Ye is from? I remember that among the many aristocratic families in Xingyao, there seems to be no Ye family..."
This is to check her situation.
But Ye Xiyue didn't mind, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, and she said:
"I never said that I was from Xingyao. As for my origin - the Tianlan Ye family of the Canglan Empire."
After the words fell, everyone was quiet for a moment, looking at each other in bewilderment.
The rumors are indeed true. Not only is Ye Xiyue not from the empire, she even comes from a remote and small affiliated country!
Although there is no requirement for an emperor to marry a concubine, she must be from Xingyao. After all, the three empires have also had marriages with each other.
But how could she not even be from the empire?
How can such a status be worthy of the position of princess?!
Cheng Chongjun showed some hesitation on his face and turned his eyes slightly.
Soon someone came forward.
"Emperor, with Miss Ye's background, I'm afraid... she's not suitable to be a concubine!"
