Chapter 674 Beauty in the world
Chapter 674 Beauty in the world
The most horrifying thing some people say is that she ran away from home and went to a pirate island, where she became an island prostitute who was raped by thousands of men and slept with tens of thousands of men. She had already become a broken and destitute woman.
She returned to Fu Wuyang because she had no other options and had to pretend to be pregnant and beg the prince to take her in.
But in fact, she had been unable to have children due to miscarriage a long time ago. The reason she said she was pregnant was because she was jealous of the princess' pregnancy.
He also planned to steal the princess's child on the day of delivery and pass it off as his own, but when his discovery was exposed, he fled overnight.
……
Each of these versions is extremely explosive, and for the women of this world, it is enough to destroy their entire family.
Fortunately, her mother and three brothers love her very much. Not only do they trust her 100%, but they also protect her and are determined not to go against those who gossip about her.
On several occasions, Su Shengming had fought with guests at Zuixianlou who were drunk and talked about her affair with King Xiaoyao, and she had to pay a lot of money.
But even so, Su Shengming said that he would still beat them every time he saw them, and would never show mercy!
In the end, it even evolved into a situation where whenever he was short of money, he would run to Zuixianlou and scold Su Lanyin, and after getting a beating he would extort money from Su Shengming.
Song Huaizhi couldn't stand it any longer, so she asked the shopkeeper to take care of it for a few days and forcibly dragged Su Shengming back home and locked him up.
He was not released until the storm had passed.
In three years, Su Lanyin's name gradually became obscured and no one cared about it anymore.
But when she returned to Shengjing, she caused another uproar.
After all, many people speculated that she had an affair with the Seventh Prince, and that she left Xuecheng and abandoned Fu Wuyang because she wanted to find Fu Mingchuan.
But when they found out that she had been in Quanzhou with her mother and grandfather for the past three years, the group of people said that she must have found another lover.
No matter what she does, there will always be people who criticize her. If that's the case, then she should just ignore other people's opinions and just be herself.
Thinking about it now, those two children are still the pain in Su Lanyin's heart that she doesn't want to mention.
When she was in Quanzhou, what she did most was to accompany her mother to the temple to chant scriptures, pray and burn incense, just to pray for the two children to be reborn, hoping that they could be reincarnated again and come back to the world as soon as possible.
……
Qianqing Palace.
Su Shengyan was a minister who had made great contributions, and he should have sat in the front with Su Lanyin.
But she didn't want to show up, so she had someone move her to a corner.
After the banquet started, everyone toasted each other amid the singing and dancing, and the emperor and others also looked very happy.
If they can resolve the problem in the Northern Territory, they won't have to worry about wars for at least several decades.
After Fu Wuyang sat down, he looked around intentionally or unintentionally, trying to find Su Lanyin, but unfortunately, she was not with Su Shengyan.
Didn’t he come?
Impossible... The Queen Mother specifically asked her to enter the palace, how could she not come?
Just as he was distracted, Shen Ruchu gently tugged at his sleeve and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is asking questions."
"Uh...Royal brother."
Fu Wuyang quickly collected his thoughts and looked at the emperor in surprise.
"You have made great contributions this time, but I am very curious about how the Jiang Kingdom negotiated with you and helped you to wipe out the Northern Jiang tribe."
Fu Wuyang stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Brother, this matter was not negotiated by me, but the King of Jiang has long intended to coexist peacefully with our Dasheng, and he also gave us a great gift."
"Oh? What great gift? Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"
"This gift is extremely special. In order to prevent spies from other countries from discovering it and maliciously sabotaging the relationship between the two countries, I have hidden this gift very secretly."
The emperor nodded: "It was so secretive that even I didn't receive any news. I think it is really a great gift."
"My Royal Brother, please look."
Fu Wuyang straightened up and then clapped his hands twice.
The singing stopped abruptly, and all the dancers retreated. Then, palace maids dressed in Jiang Guo costumes walked in from outside the hall in two teams, guarding a mysterious woman in an elegant dress.
She was dressed in a red gown as gorgeous as fire, with a jade and gold crown unique to the Jiang Kingdom on her head, and her face covered with a red veil.
Full of mystery and exotic charm.
"Brother, this is the daughter of the Emperor of Jiang, Princess Mingzhu, Luo Qingyi."
The woman in red slowly took off her veil, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.
Her facial features are exquisite, bright and enchanting, and coupled with an impeccable figure, she is truly a stunner on earth.
Luo Qingyi saluted, then curled her red lips slightly, revealing a confident and flamboyant smile.
"Mingzhu pays homage to the Emperor of Dasheng. Long live the Emperor."
Everyone present was stunned, even the emperor was full of surprise.
"What does this mean?"
Fu Wuyang explained, "The Emperor of Jiang is interested in forming a marriage alliance with Dasheng. In order to show his sincerity, he has sent the princess here. Brother, what do you think?"
"Great!" The emperor immediately clapped his hands and applauded. "The Jiang Kingdom is willing to allow such a noble and beautiful princess to marry. This shows that they are sincere. I naturally cannot refuse. On the contrary, I am very happy."
Fu Wuyang continued, "Brother, among the princes of marriageable age, only the seventh prince has not yet married a princess..."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at Fu Mingchuan who had been silent for a long time.
He himself had been oblivious to the situation the whole time, and only looked up when he heard that it was related to him.
After realizing what was happening, he quickly stood up and interrupted Fu Wuyang.
"Uncle, be careful with your words!"
He walked to the front and knelt on the ground, his eyes firm and brave as he said: "Father, I already have someone in my heart, and I cannot marry the Princess of Jiang."
Of course the emperor would not allow him to refuse, as she was the princess of the Jiang Kingdom, and there was a powerful country behind her.
If the two countries form an alliance, not only can they avoid war, but they can also join forces to resist other threatening countries.
Moreover, the only one who can marry the princess now is Fu Mingchuan, so he has no chance of refusing.
The emperor immediately turned cold and stared at him gloomily: "Mingchuan, you should think clearly before you speak. If you have someone in your heart, I can naturally make that person disappear."
Anyone who hinders the country's progress must die!
Even if it was someone he once valued, it would be the same!
In the eyes of the emperor, nothing is more important than the country. Apart from the people's peace and happiness, the only thing left is to continuously strengthen the country.
Fu Mingchuan suddenly felt like there was something stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.
His mind was in a mess, and it was not until the imperial decree granting the marriage was settled that he stood up in a daze and returned to his seat.
If possible, he would rather return to his previous position as an idle prince.
At least, apart from his life, he can decide everything else, including who he likes and who he wants to marry.
At this moment, he suddenly understood Fu Wuyang's helplessness.
I think he also resisted marrying Shen Ruchu, but he was facing the emperor, an emperor who could kill people without anyone noticing with just a glance!
When the emperor gets angry, millions of people will die. This is no joke.
