Chapter 132 Palace Banquet 4
As the words fell, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Ji Jiuying! Discussions broke out everywhere.
The envoys from the Western Jin Dynasty and the Jialan Kingdom had already arrived in Cangyue yesterday, so they also saw the strange phenomenon in the sky last night!
Ji Jiuying lowered her head and savored the tea in her hand. Haha~ Is it finally coming?
Apparently, the emperor laughed out loud at what the third prince of Jialan said.
"Hahahaha~ This means that I, Cangyue, have a child of destiny. It is a blessing for Cangyue! But I also want to know who the owner of this divine beast, Suzaku, is." The emperor said and glanced at Ji Jiuying.
To be honest, he also wanted to know whether the strange phenomenon in the sky last night was related to her. According to the spies, there was no suspicious movement in the princess's mansion the whole night.
I just heard from Eunuch Min that she was in seclusion practicing last night and knew nothing about the strange phenomena in the sky and the envoys from other countries. Could it be that it really has nothing to do with her?
"You all saw the Suzaku last night, right? The scene was truly shocking!"
"That's right. My father was so excited that he pulled me to the ground and kowtowed violently. Look at the wound on my forehead!"
"Hiss~Dear father!"
"Who do you think is so lucky to have the chance to contract the divine beast Suzaku?"
"Could it be Princess Anping again?"
"How can this be!"
"I guess the only one who can contract the sacred beast Suzaku is a god like the Imperial Master!"
"That's right!"
"I also think he should be the national teacher!"
"..."
There was constant discussion below, and some people's eyes were still fixed on Ji Jiuying.
Jun Linyu looked at Ji Jiuying with an inquiring look, as if he wanted to see through her.
Only such an outstanding woman could be worthy of his Third Prince's wife. It seemed that he had to find a way as soon as possible...
At this time, Ji Chenyuan was drinking one glass of wine on the table after another. Looking at Ji Jiuying, who was so outstanding now, he felt very regretful.
Unlike the joy of others, the Second Prince Jun Lintian and Prince Zhen couldn't help but show a trace of worry on their faces.
As expected, a big tree attracts the wind!
Ji Jiuying is very powerful and has a contract with a dragon, which is naturally a good thing, but if she shows off too much, she might be targeted by someone with ulterior motives!
"I wonder what Princess Anping thinks about the strange phenomenon last night?" The third prince Jialan said with a smile, staring at Ji Jiuying, not missing any change on her face.
"As for the strange vision that the Third Prince Jia Lan described, this princess didn't even see it at all, so the Third Prince asked the wrong person!" Ji Jiuying said with a regretful expression.
"Hehehe~" The third prince Jialan chuckled, obviously not quite believing what she said.
Ji Jiuying didn't have time to care whether he believed it or not.
"This is the first time that a dragon has appeared in our Cangming Continent. I wonder if the emperor could allow us to witness the dragon's majesty?" The eldest prince Jia Lan, who had been silent, said to the emperor.
That’s right, he asked the emperor directly, bypassing her personally.
Those who had never seen a dragon were also a little eager to try it. The scene instantly became lively again and everyone looked at Ji Jiuying expectantly.
Emperor Jun Bufan naturally would not offend Ji Jiuying easily, but he had to kick the ball back to her.
"I can't make the decision on this matter, Prince Jia Lan, you should ask Princess Anping of Cang Yue!"
When Emperor Jun Bufan said this, the eldest prince Jia Lan was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses! He turned to Ji Jiuying and asked;
"I wonder if the princess would do me the honor? I'm sure Cang Yue's officials would also like to witness the majesty of the dragon again." The eldest prince said with a wry smile.
The Crown Prince of the Western Jin Dynasty on the side was looking at Ji Jiuying with an inquiring look. He had found out clearly before coming here that in just two months, he went from a good-for-nothing to a genius and even contracted a dragon.
What exactly changed her, or did she hide it too well? Even the emperor had to please her.
For most people, having such strength and status at the age of fourteen is something to be proud of, but her expression remained indifferent from beginning to end.
----
Haha, it's ridiculous that you are disrespectful to me and yet you still want me to show favor to you.
"I've heard that Jialan doesn't have much but has cities. I wonder if Prince Jialan could do me the favor and give me a pond?" Ji Jiuying put down the snacks in her hand and said lightly.
Hiss~ This princess is really bold to say that. Everyone was sweating at Ji Jiuying's boldness!
But the emperor on the stage was interacting with the empress and concubine Liang, as if he didn't hear anything about it.
As expected, the eldest prince Jia Lan's face turned cold, but suddenly he started laughing again.
"Hahaha~ If the princess can marry me, Jialan, let alone one city, I can give up ten cities!"
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did the faces of Cang Yue's ministers turn cold, but even the emperor had a gloomy face.
But there were also some people who showed a gloating expression, and their eyes showed how much they hoped that Ji Jiuying could marry someone far away.
Jun Buhui, who was beside Ji Jiuying, pulled Ji Jiuying's hand and whispered, "Sister Xiaojiu, don't marry Jialanguo."
Ji Jiuying patted her head with amusement. She definitely would not marry him, but she asked curiously, "Why doesn't the Seventh Princess want me to marry Jia Lan?"
"Because Buhui likes Sister Xiaojiu very much. If Sister Xiaojiu marries Jialan, Buhui will never see Sister Xiaojiu again." Jun Buhui said reluctantly.
"How about Sister Xiaojiu, you marry my brother and be my sister-in-law!" Jun Buhui thought for a while and said, she is so smart!
puff--
Cough cough cough~ The tea in Ji Jiuying's mouth sprayed out instantly. Well, she shouldn't be curious about a little girl's thoughts!
"Sister Xiaojiu, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly choke?" Jun Buhui had no awareness of being the culprit at all!
"It's okay, it's okay, I drank too fast..."
Ji Jiuying said a few perfunctory words and then ignored her, while Jun Buhui was still thinking about how to get her brother to marry Sister Xiaojiu.
"Prince Jialan, you may not be able to see the current situation clearly. Now, if I, Cangyue, want to capture the ten cities of Jialan, it will be a piece of cake!" The third prince Jun Linyu said sternly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the banquet changed again.
In short, the Cangyue today is no longer the Cangyue of the past. Not only did they not ask Jialan to send a princess for marriage, they even had the audacity to ask for her hand in marriage!
And Princess Anping was designated, so the purpose is obvious!
Sure enough, the smile of Crown Prince Jia Lan froze for a moment, and then he forced out an extremely unnatural smile.
"The Third Prince is joking. My brother drank too much and talked nonsense. I hope the Emperor, the Princess and everyone else will not take it to heart!" The Third Prince Jialan stepped forward and bowed to the Emperor.
