Only then did the brave general realize that the one who suppressed the rebels outside was also a young general from the Chu family who had practiced martial arts since childhood. With such a combination, it was no wonder that the emperor was able to sit down at the banquet without any panic.
From this point of view, the emperor has not completely relied on Xiao Guogong in recent years. These seemingly idle people have become the mainstay of protecting the royal family.
The brave general touched his neck and secretly felt grateful.
Princess Shengya, however, looked at Jun Zifeng and was a little distracted. She didn't expect that this man called the Emperor's Uncle actually looked the most similar to Jun Lingyun.
However, this person does not have Jun Lingyun's cold aura, but instead has a warmer and warmer atmosphere that makes people feel like they are taking a breath of spring breeze.
When the emperor saw them coming back, he knew that the civil strife had been resolved and he was in a good mood.
"You are all heroes, take your seats. Let's have a banquet!"
The emperor finally ordered a banquet, and the maids served exquisite dishes like a stream of water.
The emperor raised his glass:
"Today is a good day. Our country, Yunxiao, has put down the civil strife and regained its new life. Princess Nanyan Kingdom has come all the way. Our two countries will surely share peace. Let us raise a toast to Princess Shengya.
Take the wind and wash away the dust.”
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for your kindness."
Princess Shengya stood up to thank her and drank all the fruit wine.
"My princess has had a hard time on this trip, why not let my second prince accompany her for a few days? What do you think, princess?"
The emperor suddenly asked: the princess of a country was on an envoy to another country just to get married. However, among his sons, except for the prince who had already decided to get married, the second prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince did not have a concubine yet.
This time the second prince was successful in putting down the rebels. It would also be a good thing if he could marry the princess of Nan Yan Kingdom.
Princess Shengya asked back with the tenderness of a girl.
"Your Majesty, is it possible that Shengya is not worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince's personal company?"
As soon as she said these words, everyone present felt a sigh of relief. It turned out that Princess Shengya had fallen in love with His Highness the Crown Prince, but sitting next to the Crown Prince was his fiancée, the eldest lady of the Chu family.
The emperor also narrowed his eyes. If the princess of Nanyan Kingdom insisted on marrying the prince, what would the Chu family do? The Chu family had just helped him put down the rebellion, and they must not chill the hearts of the courtiers.
"What the princess doesn't know is that the prince is already engaged and is about to get married to the Miss Chu family. Everything is complicated and difficult to get away from."
Although Princess Shengya understood what the emperor meant, she had worked hard all the way to come here and couldn't just not fight for it at all, so let's forget it.
"Your Majesty, my father intends to ask Sheng Ya to come to Yunxiao Kingdom to make peace and promote a century of peace between the two countries. I wonder what your Majesty's intention is?"
Princess Shengya's words were very direct, without the coquettishness or reserve of her daughter's family. Many ladies and ladies covered their slightly open mouths in surprise. How could any daughter's family say the words of marriage proposal on their own?
Chu Yunxi thought highly of Princess Shengya. It was better to fight for what she wanted openly than to use secret means behind the scenes.
The emperor had no intention of letting go and pointed to his other sons.
"Princess Shengya, none of my sons are married yet. As long as Princess Shengya likes you, you can choose one of them to be your husband."
The emperor's words were quite generous. He no longer designated the second prince, but allowed Princess Shengya to choose among the unmarried princes. This was considered as giving face to Zunan Yanguo.
Princess Shengya understood that not only Jun Lingyun was unwilling, but also the Emperor of Yunxiao Kingdom was on Chu Yunxi's side. Her marriage path with Jun Lingyun was completely blocked.
Chu Yunxi was also quite capable. Forget it, in the past few days, she had also realized that Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi had clearly communicated with each other.
She was a dignified princess, so why did she hang herself from a tree? She just regretted that face. Thinking of that face, Princess Shengya turned to look at Jun Zifeng, who had just walked in, and raised her hand.
"Has he ever been married?"
Everyone followed Princess Shengya's fingers and saw that the Princess of Nanyan Kingdom was really discerning and had set her sights on the two most outstanding men in their Yunxiao Kingdom.
Jun Zifeng's heart skipped a beat, what does this princess mean?
The emperor looked at Jun Zifeng meaningfully. Zifeng had also reached the age of marriage, but he was very ambitious and had not found a woman he had chosen yet.
If Zifeng doesn't want to, he, as the emperor's uncle, will inevitably have another headache.
"This is the eldest son of Prince Hao, who is not yet married. However, the princess is not satisfied with any of my sons?"
The emperor's question had a hint of spark. Lord Shengya didn't know how to praise him. He didn't think highly of a prince, so he thought too highly of himself.
Princess Shengya is not a fool, so she can naturally understand what the emperor means.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the princes are naturally the best among men and are impeccable. However, some things depend on fate. Since the prince is not yet married, can you give Shengya a chance to get along with each other for a few days?"
Princess Shengya put away her usual arrogance and spoke in a humble and courteous manner. She only wanted to get along with her for a few days. If the emperor did not agree to this, it would be a loss of courtesy for a great country.
Jun Zifeng completely did not expect that she and Princess Shengya had not even met each other, so why did she leave several princes alone and not point at her, but instead pointed at herself?
She had just asked the prince to accompany her, but he had already been rejected. If she refused her again, she might hurt Nan Yanguo's face.
Nowadays, the Northern Barbarians and Dongyi are eyeing the Yunxiao Kingdom. At this juncture, it is not a trivial matter to affect the diplomatic relations with the Nanyan Kingdom.
But if he agreed, would he be able to pick it out after playing with her for a few days? He had absolutely no intention of marrying a princess.
Jun Lingyun looked at Princess Shengya and then at Jun Zifeng, thinking that it would be a good thing for this boy to get married as soon as possible, so as to save him from thinking all day long.
Although Princess Shengya is unruly, she is also someone who listens to what she is told. Her character is not bad, and her status is worthy of Zi Feng.
Chu Yunxi, who was beside Jun Lingyun, looked at her cousin Su Yan. Chu Yunxi could clearly see the panic and anxiety in her eyes.
Before the emperor could agree, Chu Yunxi suddenly stood up.
"Princess Shengya, since you are temporarily staying in the General's Mansion these days, why not let Yunxi accompany the princess on a tour for a few days. At that time, she will introduce the noble ladies from the capital to the princess so that the princess will not be alone."
As soon as she said this, not only Princess Shengya, but also Jun Lingyun didn't know what she meant. Could it be that Xi'er knew Zifeng's thoughts and that's why she refused her?
Jun Zifeng was also flustered, and her thoughts coincided with Jun Lingyun's. She, why was she? He was clearly trying his best to endure it in front of her, could she still notice it?
He didn't want anyone to know, he just wanted to digest it silently until the day when he could let it go calmly.
Princess Shengya raised her eyebrows, why is she everywhere? She just dominates Jun Lingyun, what does this person have to do with Chu Yunxi?
"Isn't Miss Chu getting married? I won't take up your precious time, Princess."
After she finished speaking, she looked directly at Jun Zifeng and asked.
"Your Majesty, how many days are you willing to host Shengya? If you don't want to, Shengya will not force you to do so, and will set off back to Nanyan Kingdom."
Although Nanyan is not as powerful as Yunxiao Kingdom, she still has a temper. As the envoy of Nanyan, if she gives in every step, she will look down upon the people of Yunxiao Kingdom.
Princess Shengya had a good sense of proportion, and Jun Zifeng also understood the power of it, so she had no choice but to accept this hot potato first and then make plans.
