Chapter 415 Your Majesty, you are so beautiful

Sheng Sheng shifted her gaze to the side.

Beside Emperor Gan Ning stood a graceful young woman with a pleasing oval face, fair skin with a rosy tint, and round eyes like apricots.

Her black hair was loosely tied up and adorned with a small pearl hairpin.

Her everyday dress, embroidered with lotus branches in a light purple color, is simple and elegant. She only has a small pearl hairpin in her hair, and the simple outfit makes her look even more gentle and approachable.

You wouldn't guess she's almost thirty; her vibrant and lively appearance is no different from that of a teenage girl.

What did the Ode to the Goddess of the Luo River say again?

Graceful as a startled swan, lithe as a swimming dragon.

Her words were unspoken, yet her fragrance was as delicate as a fragrant orchid.

It's so lifelike!

Empress Shen gently scratched the palm of the person beside her with her fingertips, raised her eyes to look at the Shen family members who came to greet her, her eyes as gentle as spring water, and said softly, "The courtyard is unusually quiet today. I wonder if it's because our guests are here that those naughty kids haven't been jumping around."

"Third brother said that the princess is lively and cute. Those boys must have behaved themselves in front of her."

Emperor Gan Ning gently supported her wrist as she landed, his fingertips tightening slightly to protect her balance, his voice gentle and warm, "No rush, walk slowly."

Empress Shen was being led by the hand by Emperor Gan Ning, and her pace was somewhat slow, so Emperor Gan Ning kept pace with her.

The two stood side by side; he was tall and imposing yet without a trace of imperial airs, while she smiled gently, exuding tenderness.

The two whispered amongst themselves, which was seen by everyone. The Shen family members were used to it and smiled with satisfaction.

But for Sheng Sheng, who was meeting them for the first time, this was a devastating blow!

Sheng Sheng exclaimed almost instinctively, "Wow, what a perfect couple!"

Xie Yun-yang didn't know much about Emperor Gan Ning and Empress Shen, so she naturally had to be cautious and quickly spoke up to stop her: "Sheng Sheng, don't be rude."

"It doesn't matter."

Empress Shen stepped forward.

Empress Shen bent down, a gentle smile on her face.

Sheng Sheng saw her gently smooth her hair from her forehead, and a fragrance wafted into Sheng Sheng's nose with her movement.

I heard her voice again and again.

"How can praising us be considered rude?"

Sheng Sheng blinked her eyes wide, took a deep breath of the aroma, and nodded repeatedly: "Mmm-hmm! It doesn't count, it doesn't count!"

Damn it, why didn't anyone tell her that Empress Shen was such a beautiful and gentle woman!

She's like a fairy descended to earth, radiating an ethereal aura!

She smells so good.

It smells so good!

Sheng Sheng's eyes practically sparkled. She had seen countless beautiful women, but this Empress Shen possessed a unique and extraordinary charm that made people feel refreshed and happy just by looking at her.

It is said that loving someone is like growing a flower, and Emperor Gan Ning truly cherished Empress Shen very much.

Looking at Empress Shen, who would guess that she is a woman who is almost thirty?

She looks exactly like a young girl who has just gotten married!

Wow, what an adorable little sister!

An unusually exaggerated voice suddenly appeared beside Sheng Sheng's ears, interrupting her rich inner monologue.

Sheng Sheng looked over and saw a handsome young boy with exaggerated expressions, squeezing past Emperor Gan Ning to stare at her.

"Mother, I also want a cute little sister like this. When will you and Father grant my wish?"

Emperor Gan Ning, unable to bear it any longer, pulled him over and scolded him: "If you make any more noise, I'll throw you back to the palace."

Gu Nanchuan then quieted down awkwardly and said "Oh".

The Shen family was already used to Gu Nanchuan's personality. As the emperor and empress's only son, Gu Nanchuan was very comfortable in the palace. Over time, he completely let himself go and developed such a carefree personality.

The Shen family members bowed in accordance with etiquette, and Emperor Gan Ning personally helped Old Madam Shen up, saying, "We are all family, there is no need for such formalities."

"Your Majesty, etiquette must not be disregarded." Madam Shen introduced them with a smile, "This is His Highness the Crown Prince of Yu Kingdom, and this is His Highness the Second Princess."

Xie Yun and Sheng Sheng curtsied as instructed, and then Sheng Sheng smiled and said to Empress Shen, "Your Majesty, you look so beautiful!"

Empress Shen covered her mouth and chuckled, helping them up: "I heard from Fourth Brother that the Second Princess is an extremely clever young girl, and seeing her today, it is indeed so. His Highness the Crown Prince is the same, calm and gentle, without a trace of youthful impetuosity."

"Your Majesty flatters me. How could I dare to say such a thing in front of you and His Majesty?"

"Alright, alright, why do we keep talking about this? Let's get down to business." Shen Jiaqing stepped in to cut the flow. "Your Majesty, don't you want to know about the Ninth Prince of Song? The Second Princess is good friends with him."

Emperor Gan Ning looked at her upon hearing the sound.

Sheng Sheng: "Huh?"

Ninth Prince, Brother Pei Ji?

A quarter of an hour later, Sheng Sheng and Xie Yun were sitting in the tea room prepared by the Shen family, with only Emperor Gan Ning opposite them.

Empress Shen took the young crown prince of Jin and the Shen family to talk, without participating in their conversation.

Emperor Gan Ning didn't keep them waiting long and took the initiative to ask Sheng Sheng, "I heard from Fourth Brother that Your Highness and the Ninth Prince of Song are good friends. May I ask Your Highness to tell me how you became good friends with him?"

Sheng Sheng felt that this question seemed familiar.

Oh, so it turns out that Master Mo asked the same question back in Qingyang City.

Sheng Sheng found it a bit strange and asked, "Sheng Sheng, may I ask you why?"

Emperor Gan Ning raised an eyebrow; he had assumed the little princess would answer directly.

Seeing that he did not answer immediately, Xie Yunyang assumed that he was dissatisfied. After thinking for a moment, she chose a compromise.

"Your Majesty, please don't be offended. Sheng Sheng is a child with her own opinions, and we've spoiled her. She didn't mean to offend Your Majesty. But I'm also a little curious, why did Your Majesty ask Pei Ji?"

This was meant to tell Emperor Gan Ning how important Sheng Sheng was to them, so that even if he made a move, he would think twice.

The first part of the sentence says that Sheng Sheng is a child with his own opinions. It is also telling him through Sheng Sheng that although they are sitting here talking harmoniously because of the Shen family, they should still lay everything out and make their words clear so that the other party can feel their sincerity.

Since Xie Yun had agreed to meet the Emperor of Jin, he naturally believed in his good intentions.

To be honest, it's no use not believing it.

Since this is the capital of Jin, there must be spies everywhere. If Emperor Gan Ning really wanted to do something to them, they certainly wouldn't be able to escape.

However, if he were a rational and wise ruler, he would not do anything bad to them.

After all, they were members of the royal family of the Yu Kingdom.

If something happens to them in the capital, the State of Yu will not let it go.

However, this is certainly not the situation that the two countries that advocate peace would like to see.
