Chapter 144 The New Emperor Ascends the
Throne The situation in the capital city changed drastically overnight.
Half a month later, Prince Li Yuwenyan officially ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He issued a general amnesty and the people were rejoicing together. Other countries sent envoys to congratulate him.
During this period, Shu Wan seldom went out, and mostly stayed at home eating, drinking and having fun.
As for Rong Chen, the new emperor has ascended the throne. He is still nominally the imperial teacher of Chi Yan, so naturally he has to attend court. He goes out early and comes back late every day and is very busy.
He was busy with his own affairs, and also busy with the tasks that the new emperor Yuwen Yan had assigned to him.
He had never said anything to Shu Wan, but from Feng Ling's hesitation to speak, she could tell that Yu Wenyan was definitely making things difficult for her on purpose.
After Yuwen Yan ascended the throne, he held a banquet and all the ministers in the court were required to attend the banquet, saying that there was news to be announced publicly.
Shu Wan was naturally also on the banquet list.
Shu Wan didn't know what news he was talking about, but she felt that it would definitely not be a good thing, so Shu Wan decided to take the initiative!
The palace banquet is scheduled for noon.
Rong Chen was called into the palace by Yuwen Yan early in the morning, so Shu Wan entered the palace with Fu Jin.
This also gave Yuwen Yan the opportunity to summon the two of them. After all, they were nominally the princess and prince of Beishuo.
After entering the imperial study, Shu Wan thought Rong Chen would be there, but she did not see Rong Chen.
"Greetings to His Majesty Chi Yan!" Fu Jin bowed slightly in a perfunctory manner. He was a foreign envoy and there was no need for him to kneel down and kowtow to Yuwen Yan.
And Shu Wan stood very straight from beginning to end. She didn't even bother to salute him, let alone look him in the eye. They had already torn their relationship apart a long time ago, and there was no need for her to play tricks on Yu Wenyan.
"No need to be so polite, Your Highness!" Yu Wenyan had a smile on his face. As for whether there was sincerity in his words, Fu Jin didn't care.
All they want is superficial peace! "Shu Wan, we haven't seen each other for only half a month. How come you seem to have forgotten me when we meet today? Is it necessary for us to be so unfamiliar with each other?" There was something wavering in his eyes.
"Your Highness Prince Li... Oh no, now I should call you His Majesty Chi Yan!" Shu Wan deliberately said the wrong thing and then immediately reacted and changed her words, "You are the emperor, how dare I try to marry you, wouldn't that be overestimating my own abilities?" She said with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
"Sharp teeth and fangs, this ability has not changed!" Yu Wenyan seemed to be talking to Shu Wan, but also seemed to be talking to himself.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" Shu Wan continued, "Shu Wan has sharp teeth, but that's only in the verbal department. Unlike Your Majesty, you use thunderous means. If you say you want the throne, you can use such an iron-blooded method to get the throne in the shortest time!"
"Whatever you say!" Yu Wenyan knew that he couldn't beat Shu Wan in talking, and he didn't have any intention of explaining to Shu Wan. It would be a complete waste of words.
"You also know that you are wrong!" Shu Wan did not intend to let him go easily.
"You..." Yuwen Yan wanted to say something to refute Shu Wan, but he didn't know how to say it. Anyway, it would be a waste to say anything to Shu Wan! "Your Majesty, I wonder if you asked us brothers and sisters to come here, but what's the matter?" Fu Jin interrupted quickly. It's better for them to keep a low profile now. At this time, there is no need to confront Yuwen Yan head-on! "Yes, there is something!" Yuwen nodded.
