What if I said that Miao'er is also my little princess?

The ruler of the Southern Dynasty raised his eyebrows and unconsciously raised his voice a few decibels.

Upon hearing this, Su Miao's pupils contracted sharply, her head buzzed, and her thoughts completely stopped for a moment.

Not only was Su Miao shocked by the news, but even the usually calm and collected Shen Changji was unable to remain composed at this moment.

The Empress Dowager, however, was already mentally prepared.

Following up on Shen Changji's words, the ruler of the Southern Dynasty asked, "Who is the fine man that General Shen speaks of? I would like to meet him as well."

Su Miao: "No... Your Majesty, are you sure you haven't made a mistake?"

She knew she was an orphan, and although she had thought about finding her biological parents, she never imagined that they would be like this...

She had previously learned some about the situation of the ruler of the Southern Dynasty.

She never dared to dream that he would be her father...

The ruler of the Southern Dynasty said, "I am not mistaken; you do resemble your mother by seven or eight points."

As he spoke, the attendant quickly handed the portrait to Su Miao.

Su Miao was skeptical of the conversation, but when she opened it and saw the woman in the painting, her eyes widened instantly.

Not just seven or eight points... she was practically sculpted exactly like the person in the painting.

The ruler of the Southern Dynasty said, "In the end, it is I who have wronged you and your daughter."

Thinking about those past events, his eyes welled up with tears.

If he could... he would never let that tragedy happen.

Even though she is gone, she is his eternal love, and no one can change her place in his heart.

He was already incredibly excited when he first heard the news that Su Miao was still alive.

Upon seeing her now, the joy he had suppressed for many years surged up instantly.

He would be willing to offer up the entire Southern Dynasty if Su Miao wanted him to.

Su Miao still couldn't accept the news, so to prove it, they conducted a blood test to determine kinship.

But when the results came out, there weren't many surprises.

Su Miao has a relationship with the ruler of the Southern Dynasty.

The Empress Dowager had lived to a ripe old age, so she naturally understood what Su Miao was thinking.

She looked at Su Miao and smiled, "Grandmother has always said that you have good medical skills. Right now, the King and General Shen probably have something to say. Miao, why don't you come out for a walk with me and tell me about Grandmother's situation over the years?"

Su Miao nodded and reached out to help the Empress Dowager up.

After the people left, the Northern Dynasty emperor naturally became less reserved.

"I did indeed promise Minister Shen yesterday that I would issue an imperial decree, but... if Minister Shen wishes to marry a girl from another family, then I can still issue the decree directly."

But Minister Shen, you wish to marry the little princess of the Southern Dynasty! Her father is here; I dare not issue an imperial decree directly!

Since he had other matters to attend to yesterday, he could only send Su Miao to the palace today.

The king of the Southern Dynasty originally wanted to go and find Su Miao, but the Empress Dowager was worried that it would frighten Su Miao, since the amount of information was too great, so the Empress Dowager allowed Su Miao to enter the palace.

Shen Changji changed his previous attitude of refusal and said sincerely, "I have deep feelings for Miao'er. In this life, I only recognize her as my wife. I hope that Your Majesty can entrust Miao'er to me."

The ruler of the Southern Dynasty did not intend to make things difficult for Chen Changji.

After all, he had just seen it outside; Su Miao's eyes revealed her deep affection for Shen Changji.

But he still had to say something earnestly, "Miao'er is similar to her mother in personality. Once she's made up her mind about something, she's committed to it. Since she's decided to stay with you, then you should treat her well."

Shen Changji answered almost without hesitation, "Definitely!"

The King of the Southern Dynasty said, "I don't have many children. Miao'er is my only daughter. The other four are all boys. If you dare to bully Miao'er, don't blame us for being ruthless."

"clear."

The ruler of the Southern Dynasty looked at Shen Changji and nodded.

Su Miao accompanied the Empress Dowager for half an hour before returning, and the King of the Southern Dynasty met with her alone.

Some of what he said to her was similar to what Shen Changji had said, except that Su Miao saw more love in his eyes.

She has mostly processed this matter.

From this day forward, she can be considered to have a family.

"If you are wronged or bullied, remember to tell your father immediately. Your father will stand up for you."

"Okay!" Su Miao smiled through her tears.

How could Shen Changji dare to bully her? If it could be considered bullying... it would probably be in some way.

However, when the ruler of the Southern Dynasty wanted him to leave, Su Miao was able to go back with him to visit.

Su Miao did not refuse.

"Don't be so reserved. If possible... I'd like to have tea with Father again in the future," Su Miao smiled.

I'm so happy to have a powerful backer like this!

Upon hearing the word "Father," the King of the Southern Dynasty instantly smiled.

When Su Miao returned with Shen Changji, she was also beaming with joy.

She couldn't help but lean on Shen Changji's shoulder, imagining their future life together.

"What if you get tired of me after a while?"

Thinking of what was written in the storybook, Su Miao couldn't help but ask.

He chuckled softly, "I won't get tired of it."

Why are you so sure?

Chen Changji: "Because I'll come up with all sorts of new things so you won't get tired of me."

Upon hearing this, Su Miao recalled the scene of her blushing face last night, and a jolt of electricity ran through her heart, sending a shiver down to her lower abdomen.

She looked at her tightly clenched fingers, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

Su Miao then thought of what the ruler of the Southern Dynasty had just told her.

“My name is not Su Miao. He said my real name is Qin Yingying.”

"Whether it's Su Miao or Qin Yingying, you are my only wife."

Hearing Shen Changji's words, Su Miao's heart fluttered.
