That day, after Shangguan Feng'er finished her performance, she sat at the table and watched other people's performances.
In fact, she didn't like such an occasion very much, but today was her holiday, and she couldn't go away, so she had to sit in a daze. Finally, she became sleepy, and she seemed to hear Shangguan Chen requesting the emperor to marry Liu Shishi.
Shangguan Feng'er knew that Shangguan Chen had been impatient to ask the emperor for a marriage. The emperor also knew about their friendship, so he agreed to his request and granted him a marriage.
Then several ministers asked the emperor to grant marriage, and the emperor agreed.
At this time, the courtiers, regardless of their different positions, all lived in harmony, and the whole scene was very harmonious and enjoyable.
Sitting diagonally across from Shangguan Feng'er was the eldest prince and high concubine Gao Wenqiang. It had been two years since Shen Man's death, and Shangguan Feng'er had rarely seen Shangguan Jue in the past two years.
See you again today, Shangguan Jue's appearance has not changed, but when the emperor just married Shangguan Chen and Liu Shishi, all the ministers congratulated Shangguan Chen. Even the second prince Shangguan Hao, whom Shangguan Feng'er had never met, also wished Shangguan Chen, but The eldest prince was drinking alone there, as if he had no idea what was going on around him. In the end, he went to congratulate Shangguan Chen only after being reminded by Concubine Gao.
Everyone guessed that the eldest prince had always been a polite person, but he was so rude today. They must have thought of the deceased eldest prince and concubine, so they did not bother him.
At this time, Shangguan Feng'er looked at Shangguan Jue again, and he was lying on the wine table drunk. He and Shen Man also met at the adult ceremony banquet, and finally got to know each other and fell in love. It's just that he behaved like this today because When you see Shangguan Chen and Liu Shishi, do you think of yourself and Shen Man?
But Shangguan Feng'er wanted to ask him if he really missed Shen Man and if he really loved Shen Man.
Thinking of this, she shook her head slightly. Maybe even he himself didn't know whether he loved it or not. As an outsider, what was the point of delving into it now? No matter how much he loved, Shen Man couldn't come back. If he didn't love, Shen Man wouldn't be able to come back. Man was also relieved.
"The envoy from Chu has come to ask for peace." A loud voice came, breaking the harmony in the palace.
Everyone looked around and saw a middle-aged man in dark clothes, about fifty years old.
Shangguan Feng'er recognized this person. This person was Zheng Sheng, Prince Shuo of the Chu State. This time, as an envoy from the Chu State, he came to attend Shangguan Feng'er's coming-of-age ceremony.
There is an unwritten rule among the three kingdoms of Yan, Chu and Qi: if there is a coming-of-age ceremony for a princess or prince, the other two countries must send envoys to attend, and there are many royal women who are asked to marry at the banquet. The previous Shangguan Lafang went to The fate of Qi Guo's marriage was also decided at her coming-of-age ceremony.
Shangguan Feng'er fell into deep thought: more than ten years ago, Qi State and Chu State were married. However, not long after, Chu State and his own princess died in childbirth, leaving behind a prince.
If this prince could become the emperor of Qi today, this marriage might still have some effect. But unfortunately, not only did this prince fail to become the emperor of Qi, he was also very incompetent and did not even fight for the throne. Therefore, Chu and Chu Qi's alliance has been in name only for more than ten years.
And now the princess of Yan State is now the queen of Qi State. In this way, the three countries were originally in a tripartite relationship. Now the two countries are allied. How can the third country not be worried? And now it is not wise to go against the two big countries. It is best. The solution is to get married.
"The State of Chu is requesting a marriage. Does it want one of my beloved daughters to marry, and who is the marriage partner?" Shangguan Bu in the palace looked as usual.
"The little princess of your country is marrying the emperor of our country." Zheng Sheng replied calmly.
Sure enough, Shangguan Feng'er's worries were finally revealed in front of her, and the fate of marriage was already in front of her.
Is marriage really the destiny of a royal woman? If Shangguan Lafang is like this, will he be like this too?
Thinking about it, he raised his eyes and looked at Shangguan Bu who was sitting high in the palace: last time the emperor agreed to the Qi State, will the emperor agree to the Chu State this time? Maybe he will choose to sacrifice himself for the benefit of the country.
The emperor of Chu, Li Moran's maternal uncle, should be over fifty years old in terms of age. Shangguan Feng'er screamed in her heart, how could the heaven and earth play such a big joke on her and let herself marry
An old man who is about the same age as her father makes her feel so embarrassed.
Not to mention the marriage partner, an old man whose body was almost buried in the ground, she would not necessarily go even if it was a young, handsome and potential prince from the Chu Kingdom.
But she can't make the decision on her own whether to go or not. The person who can make the decision is sitting on a high throne.
There was silence in the hall, everyone was waiting for Shangguan Bu's golden mouth to open, Shangguan Feng'er was waiting for the life that man had arranged for her, the ministers in the hall were waiting, and Prince Zheng Sheng of Chu Guoshuo was also waiting.
