Chapter 167 Is it too late for me to leave now?

"The Queen Mother has passed away, but if she knew you were in Xia Country, she would be very happy."

The Seventh Prince also turned to look at Shangguan Sui with a gentle expression.

"Sui Sui, you have done a great favor to the Jiang family, so what's wrong with being a princess of two countries? In the future, you will be the fifth princess in Dayue Country, and Princess Yuzhen in Xia Country."

Eunuch Li also smiled and said, "Yes, Fifth Princess, you saved the Emperor's life. This is a great achievement. No reward is too much."

He originally thought that the fifth princess was just a little girl who was ignorant of the world.

Unexpectedly, she first exposed Prime Minister He and then took out the magic medicine to save the emperor.

He had never seen such a smart and clever little girl.

Shangguan Sui narrowed his eyes and thought about it, then quickly accepted the award.

Upon seeing this, the servants in the palace immediately bowed and saluted.

"I have met Princess Yuzhen and I pay my respects to her."

Shangguan Sui's eyebrows were wrinkled.

[Hehe, from now on I can walk sideways in Xia Country! ]

Soon, the news that Shangguan Sui was named Princess Yuzhen spread throughout the capital.

King Yong naturally also received the news.

After the attendant finished reporting, he saw the expression on King Yong's face and immediately shut up and stood aside, not daring to say a word.

Prince Yong suddenly exerted force on the hand holding the teacup and dropped it directly to the ground.

The sound of cracking porcelain tiles suddenly exploded in the room.

What followed was the angry roar of King Yong.

"Why didn't she tell me earlier that she had this miracle drug?!"

He missed the opportunity to please his father in vain!

If he was the one who presented the medicine this time, my father would definitely look at him differently!

Maybe he will pass the throne to him directly!

But now it's all gone! All destroyed by that damn Shangguan Sui!

And she actually went to offer medicine with the Seventh Prince!

The Seventh Prince is his political enemy! His mortal enemy!

Didn't Shangguan Xi even tell her about this? !

Shangguan Sui actually dared to share the credit with the Seventh Prince!

Prince Yong's face looked frighteningly gloomy.

Shangguan Sui had been staying in Prince Yong's mansion for these days, but he had never revealed the fact that he had the magic medicine.

This girl is really scheming! She is the same as her aunt!

When the attendant saw that he had finished venting his anger, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. You will have another chance tonight."

Prince Yong's wrinkled brows slightly relaxed. "Chance? What chance?"

"The Emperor has held a family banquet in the palace tonight, and has only invited you and the Seventh Prince, as well as five or six other loyal ministers."

"If you perform well then, the emperor and the ministers will surely take notice of you."

When King Yong heard the news, his originally irritable and angry mood calmed down instantly.

This was the first time he had summoned him since his father fell seriously ill.

And only two princes, him and the seventh prince, were summoned.

It goes without saying what the purpose is...

The heir to the throne is either him or the seventh prince!

But he is definitely the final winner!

When Prince Yong thought of this, he instantly became confident again.

He turned around and ordered loudly: "The king needs to take a bath, change clothes, and burn incense. Go and prepare!"

Soon the sun set and the sky darkened.

Prince Yong got on an exquisitely decorated carriage and drove slowly towards the palace.

There weren't many people in the banquet hall, but they were all important officials in the court, and the Seventh Prince had also arrived.

After greeting everyone one by one, Prince Yong sat down in his seat.

The maid next to her immediately brought tea.

Not long after he sat down, a sharp voice came from outside the hall.

"The Emperor has arrived—"

Upon hearing this, Prince Yong immediately straightened his back and looked towards the door with a respectful look on his face.

Soon, a bright yellow figure slowly walked into the hall.

Jiang Feng is already over 60 years old, with gray hair, and his steps were always weak when he walked.

But today I feel particularly good, and every step I take is steady and powerful.

Prince Yong pursed his lips, looking slightly disappointed.

It seems that after taking the magic medicine given to him by Shangguan Sui, this immortal old man can probably live another ten years.

Prince Yong took a quick glance and his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Wait! The little figure walking beside my father...

It turned out to be Shangguan Sui!

Shangguan Sui had already changed into a rouge-red silk dress, which made her face look even whiter and more tender.

Her big eyes blinked, and she looked like a fairy who had accidentally entered the mortal world.

Shangguan Sui supported Jiang Feng and walked slowly, and Jiang Feng looked at her kindly.

They are just like grandpa and grandson!

When passing by the Seventh Prince, Shangguan Sui did not forget to wink at him.

The Seventh Prince also gave her a gentle smile in return.

Prince Yong looked extremely ugly at this time.

It seems that my father really likes Shangguan Sui.

But the more Jiang Feng doted on Shangguan Sui, the angrier and more upset he became!

Such good chips actually belong to the Seventh Prince!

And for some reason, Shangguan Sui seemed to dislike him!

Prince Yong suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and drank the tea at hand in one gulp.

Shangguan Sui helped Jiang Feng walk to the main seat and sat down.

The court officials immediately stood up and bowed.

"Greetings to His Majesty, and to Princess Yuzhen."

Jiang Feng waved his hands cheerfully, "Today is just a family dinner, no need to be polite."

"During the days when I was seriously ill, many things were delayed. Why not take advantage of today to have a good discussion?"

When Shangguan Sui saw that they were actually preparing to discuss political affairs, his eyes suddenly widened.

[Ah, is this something I can listen to? I’m from Otsuki Country…]

[Is it too late for me to leave now? ]

Other court officials also looked at each other with some hesitation.

Jiang Feng glanced at them and said calmly, "You don't have to worry too much. Sui Sui is also the princess of our Xia country. She will naturally listen to these things."

He believed that Shunshun would never harm their Xia Kingdom.

And Suishun seems to know a lot of things, and maybe he can help Xia Guo solve many problems.

Seeing that the emperor had already spoken, the ministers naturally didn't know what to say.

Jiang Feng quickly raised a question.

Should Xia Kingdom open its border with Dayue Kingdom to engage in mutual trade?

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince immediately stood up and said, "I agree with opening the border. Xia and Dayue are neighbors. Opening the border and allowing trade will be extremely good for the people and for the relationship between the two countries."

Prince Yong snorted coldly.

The seventh brother is really stupid.

This issue of whether or not to open the border has been discussed before. My father's attitude has always been not to open the border and to close the country.

I don't know what the seventh brother was thinking, he actually wanted to go against his father's opinion.

But it just so happens that his stupidity can highlight his intelligence.

Prince Yong smiled confidently, stood up and bowed, saying, "Father, my opinion is exactly the opposite of my seventh brother's. I do not agree with opening the border."

Jiang Feng looked at him and frowned slightly when he heard this.

Obviously there is some interest.

King Yong couldn't help but feel excited when he saw this.

He had indeed guessed his father's thoughts!
