Your Majesty has arrived, the Queen Mother has arrived, the Empress has arrived—

Hearing the sound, the women in the hall stood up and saluted.

The empress supported the emperor and appeared at the palace gate. The empress dowager stood beside the emperor, and behind him were Shen Ziyu and several princes.

Several members of the royal family took their seats, and then the clan members and ministers followed in and sat in their respective seats.

Seeing that everyone was gathered, the emperor on the high throne smiled and clapped his hands, and the palace servants brought the meals up like flowing water.

Qin Yanning stole a glance at the emperor, and it looked like he had been bedridden for a long time. The emperor was extremely thin, with a noticeable blue color under his eyes. Even the empress dowager looked younger than him.

Compared with the bright and handsome Shen Ziyu, the emperor looked nothing like his half-brother.

Qin Yanning didn't dare to look any longer and continued to lower his head to fight with the Longjing shrimp on the plate.

Halfway through the dinner, the atmosphere in the hall reached a climax due to the performance of the actors.

When the entertainers finished their dance, the emperor began, "Today, the palace is holding a flower-hair banquet. Firstly, it is to allow the young men and women from our families to get to know each other, and secondly, it is to congratulate the Yan family army on their victorious return to the court."

When Yan Da heard the emperor mention the Yan family, he quickly stood up with his son and grandson.

The emperor coughed and continued, "Lord Yan, what reward do you want?"

Hearing this, Yan Da raised his head, and Shen Ziyu, who had been playing with the cup in his hand, also stopped.

Yan Da wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I would like to ask Your Majesty to grant a marriage between my granddaughter Qin Yanning and the Regent."

For a moment, there was no sound in the hall.

Even Shen Yuanan, who had been sitting in his seat with his eyes and nose and his mouth observing his heart, looked at Qin Yanning who was sitting in the Yan family's seat.

In the silence, Shen Ziyu only heard a pleasant female voice.

[My grandfather asked His Majesty to grant me a marriage. Will Shen Ziyu be angry? But... I really like him.]

Shen Ziyu glanced around and found that there was no woman sitting next to him. Moreover, in the quiet hall, if someone spoke, no one else would respond.

An absurd guess arose in Shen Ziyu's mind. Could it be that what he heard was the inner thoughts of General Yan's granddaughter?

☆☆☆☆☆High-energy reminder! ! ! ! ! ☆☆☆☆☆

The heroine let Shen Ziyu hear her inner thoughts just to win his love and let him help her deal with the seventh prince later.

The heroine is not in love, she is very clear-headed, and those thoughts are all deliberately expressed to Shen Ziyu. In short, she is acting! She plays the role of someone who is madly in love with him in front of Shen Ziyu!

My dear children, please don’t misunderstand me, otherwise I will be very sad.
