Yun Xiangye, while boating on a spring day, lost her footing and fell into the lake. She was rescued by Gu Yan, a wealthy young master who was recuperating in Jiangnan.
To repay his great kin...
After hearing what Queen Wei said, Princess Chu said, "Since Your Majesty has made the decision, then let's do as Your Majesty wishes."
Princess Nan'an tugged at Princess Chu's sleeve and said, "Mother, my brother..."
Princess Chu said slowly, "This is his responsibility as a member of the royal family."
It was almost time for the palace banquet, so everyone went to the palace banquet hall. Today's palace banquet was held in the garden. The spring scenery was very beautiful, and the clusters of flowers in the spring scenery added a unique flavor.
Yun Xiangye held Nuonuo and sat next to Gu Yan.
Nuonuo sat between the two of them.
Gu Yan carried Nuonuo to the other side, and then he sat with Yun Xiangye. He whispered to Yun Xiangye, "Zhao Jing is getting engaged to the Princess of Xiwan."
Nuonuo was carried aside and crawled back to the middle of her father and mother by herself.
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes to look at Gu Yan and said, "Zhao Jing is engaged, what do you want to tell me?"
Gu Yan said, "Don't even think about rekindling your relationship with Zhao Jing."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly and said, "He and I have no previous connection. Don't worry, I've already endured the pain of marriage once, and after the divorce, I don't want to marry again."
Gu Yan angrily drank the cup of tea in front of him and asked, "Who will suffer more in our marriage?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Since you also feel it's hardship, we'll be divorced soon anyway, and you won't have to suffer anymore."
Gu Yan took a deep breath, fearing that Yun Xiangye was here to defeat him.
Yun Xiangye heard the eunuch shouting that His Majesty and the Crown Prince had arrived. She stood up with everyone else to greet them, but did not see Ye Wanhe.
However, Yun Xiangye was not surprised. After all, her sister was pregnant, and it was not easy to tell others about her pregnancy, so it would be better for her not to come to the palace banquet.
After His Majesty sat down, he summoned the Crown Prince and the little princess of Xiwan Kingdom.
Yun Xiangye followed the gazes of the crowd and saw that the little Princess Xiwan was wearing a bright red dress from the Western Regions, a bright red scarf on her head, and her whole body was covered in dazzling golden light.
The little Princess Xiwan is indeed very beautiful, and she is almost as beautiful as Fu Anran.
"Diya pays homage to His Majesty, may His Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."
"Musa pays homage to His Majesty, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health and happiness."
The brother and sister from Xiwan Kingdom performed a grand ceremony.
His Majesty said, "Please stand up and take a seat."
Yun Xiangye was feeding little Nuonuo water when she felt a gaze coming over. She raised her head and looked back, and saw that the little princess Diya of Xiwan Kingdom was looking at her with a mocking look in her eyes.
Yun Xiangye only took care of little Nuonuo's lunch. There were many inconveniences after entering the palace. When she entered the palace early in the morning, Yun Xiangye did not give Nuonuo much to eat. After all, it was troublesome for a child to change clothes.
Xiao Nuonuo was really hungry at this moment. She ate every dish that was served, even the winter melon that she usually disliked.
Yun Xiangye was not interested in the conversation between the two countries until he saw Princess Diya stand up and walk to the center of the hall.
"Your Majesty, my father said that there are many smart people in Dasheng and he wants me to be his daughter-in-law."
His Majesty smiled at the cheerful and lively Diya and said, "There are few young ladies in Dasheng as lively as you. I have already chosen a husband for you..."
Diya said, "Your Majesty, Diya's husband must be a smart man. Diya has a difficult question. Whoever can solve it can become Diya's husband."
His Majesty smiled and said, "Then it's up to you to come up with the question."
The question of choosing a son-in-law is exactly what Your Majesty wants. The status of the man to be chosen for the marriage between Dasheng and Xiwan Kingdom must not be too low. He must be selected from the royal family. However, we must also be careful about her identity as a princess of a foreign race and not be able to reuse this royal child.
If a question is asked to choose a son-in-law, there is nothing wrong with it being solved by a young man of humble origin.
Princess Diya glanced at Gu Yan, then called the two maids behind her to come forward with two boxes. "I heard that in the Celestial Empire, daughters need their birth date and eight characters to get married. My birth date and eight characters are on a golden lock, and this golden lock is hidden in one of these two boxes."
Princess Diya said, "My two maids are named A Xing and A Yue. One of them is telling the truth, and the other is lying. The golden lock is in the box in A Xing's or A Yue's hand."
Princess Diya looked at everyone present and said, "The man who can ask one of these maids a question and determine which box contains the golden lock engraved with my birth date will be my husband."
As soon as Princess Diya said this, many people fell into deep thought.
Yun Xiangye was also thinking about this difficult problem. One of them was telling a lie and the other was telling the truth. She could only ask one of the two maids a question to determine which box the golden lock was in. This would probably depend on luck.
Zhao Rui was about to try, but Prince Xiang grabbed his wrist and scolded him in a low voice, "Don't ignore my identity as Princess Xiwan just because of my beauty."
Zhao Rui said, "What's wrong with Princess Xiwan? I don't want to enter the court. I just want to be a free and easy prince. I'll give it a try."
Zhao Rui was indeed stunned by Princess Xiwan's appearance at first sight.
Princess Xiwan looked at the visitor and asked, "Who are you?"
Zhao Rui said: "I am the Prince of Xiang County of Dasheng. Let me give it a try."
Diya chuckled and said, "Let Prince Xiang ask..."
Zhao Rui smiled and said, "I don't need to ask. I believe in my luck. I guess your golden lock is in Miss A Yue's box."
Diya shook her head and said, "Prince Xiang, I want a wise husband, not one who is lucky. If you can't rely on a single question to determine where the golden lock is, relying solely on luck won't work."
