Chapter 513 The Unexpected Crown Princess

Yan Jinhua was wrong!

Shen Mingye was the crown prince of the dynasty, and was forced by his mother to cultivate relationships with dozens of noble ladies. He had seen all kinds of tricks.

Those who pretended to be good and cute, those who pretended to be noble and ignored others, those who were extroverted, those who were introverted, those who were lively, those who were beautiful, those who were kind...

He had seen all kinds of them.

Most of those people were pretending when they came in front of him. He could see through them early on. None of them were sincere.

Except...

Meng Yixuan!

When she saw him, her heartbeat accelerated, her eyes were empty, her face was red, and even her hands hidden in her sleeves were shaking slightly.

She would be happy for several days if she could talk to him.

And...

she never dared to look him in the eye.

There is never a shortage of beauties of all kinds in the palace. The only thing missing these days is a true heart.

Shen Mingye put his hands behind his back, bent down and looked at Meng Yixuan with a smile: "You came to the palace to see your mother a few days ago, and said that you were not feeling well and would not attend the Spring Banquet. Why are you here again today?"

I don't know if it was Meng Yixuan's illusion, but she seemed to hear some grievance in the prince's tone?

The girl looked up with her eyes wide open, looking at the prince who was a head taller than her in slight surprise, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.

No, no, no, no... It's impossible?

Madam, madam... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... likes her?

Impossible!

She coughed violently because of her own saliva, and everyone present looked over.

The prince patted Meng Yixuan's back and looked at her intently: "Did I scare you? I like you, so you are so... scared?"

"No, I'm not scared!"

Meng Yixuan coughed and explained: "I was just too surprised, I... no... your servant... your servant also likes Your Highness, I like him very much, I really like him very much!"

He was her dream, a dream that she thought would never be possible.

"Who is that?"

How come a surprise crown princess suddenly appeared?

"She seems to be the legitimate daughter of General Feilong. She performed sword dancing at the New Year's banquet last year and was praised by the emperor for having the style of her father."

"Her? I remember that her mother was the personal maid of the Queen Mother of Heaven. Can she be the Crown Princess with such a lowly identity?"

"That's not the case. Madam Meng's family has a younger brother who passed the imperial examination and has been an official in the court. He's just been sent out. She is also a lady of an official family. You can't think that just because she was the maid of the Queen Mother of Heaven, she can only be a maid all her life and her children can only be slaves, right?"

"Meng Qingyu was not rich before he got married! I think the most respected female official around the Queen Mother of Heaven is worthy of General Feilong. Don't scold her just because you are jealous, okay?"

Lowly?

At that time, Xi Que was already a first-rank imperial lady, Meng Qingyu was also a general, and Meng Yixuan's family background was not low.

"Crown Princess? Isn't the Crown Princess Yan Qingqing from the Yan family? Where is Yan Qingqing?"

"Huh? Yes! Why didn't Yan Qingqing come?"

Everyone looked around, and after confirming that Yan Qingqing was really not seen, many people imagined a conspiracy between the two sisters to compete for the position of Crown Princess.

Jiang Xinyue had a faint smile on her lips, watching her son hand the jade ruyi representing the Crown Princess to Meng Yixuan with both hands, and the smile became bigger and bigger, and she couldn't suppress it.

Yixuan is kind-hearted and gentle, especially her whole heart is hung on the Crown Prince, which is the most rare.

She doesn't believe in arranged marriages. Who the child will live with in the future is the child's business.

"How is it possible? How can Meng Yixuan be the Crown Princess?"

"What is her basis? What qualifications does she have to be the Crown Princess?"

Shen Mingye didn't care about that. He took Meng Yixuan and walked in front of Jiang Xinyue: "Mother, thank you for the marriage."

This brat!

No wonder there is a saying in later generations that a man forgets his mother after marrying his wife.

This brat is a typical example. He hasn't even got married yet, but he came to his mother to ask for a reward for his wife.

Jiang Xinyue glared at him and took off a priceless purple jade bracelet from her wrist: "This was put on me by the Emperor when I ascended the throne. Now I give it to you. I hope you and the prince will live in harmony and grow old together. We will tolerate and understand each other throughout our lives and make progress together."

She said that Meng Yixuan and the prince should make progress together because she hoped that after becoming the crown princess, Meng Yixuan would not be immersed in the harem struggle, but should exert her true power in this position.

A woman does not have to stick to the love of a man in her life. Only when she has her own value will she not waste her time.

Meng Yixuan is just shy, not stupid. She has been in the palace since she was a child and has been influenced by Jiang Xinyue. She immediately understood what Jiang Xinyue meant. "Xuan Niang , please obey the

will of the Queen Mother."

The bracelet felt warm and moist to the touch, with full water content and no impurities. It reached the level of imperial purple, and it must be a top-grade item. The Queen Mother gave it to Meng Yixuan just like this. Did she mean that she was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law? At night - the entire royal garden fell into silence, but a low groan came from the servants' room. Yan Jinhua endured the pain from her body, but her mind was working rapidly. She was not surprised that the prince chose the crown princess. But the choice of the crown princess surprised her very much. Where did a Meng Yixuan come from? Wasn't it rumored that the crown princess was Yan Qingqing? If so, she had to change her plan again. On the second day, a group of noble ladies who had been eliminated from the selection for the position of Crown Princess went to Jiang Xinyue again to be selected by the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Princes. But... the Third and Fifth Princes did not come, only the Fourth Prince came. Compared with the "brothers united" yesterday, today he was the only one standing there "barely".

Jiang Xinyue did not expect this to happen: "What about the third prince and the fifth prince?"

Shuangjiang whispered a few words in her ear. Jiang Xinyue smiled and shook her head: "If they don't want to choose a concubine now, I won't force them, but you send someone to tell me that as long as they are in love with a girl, they must tell me. Regardless of their status, as long as they are happy, I will arrange a marriage for them."

After hearing this, the fourth prince's eyes lit up: "Mother, I have no intention of marrying a concubine now. Why don't you wait a while?"

He twirled his fingers and carefully looked at Jiang Xinyue's expression, fearing that she would feel unhappy and impatient.

"In that case... let's all go!"

Jiang Xinyue waved her hand and smiled at the fourth prince: "In fact, mother also thinks that such a blind marriage is not good. None of you want to get married. You have to talk to your father yourself."

"Your son knows, thank you mother."

He didn't want to build a prince's mansion, nor did he want to be crowned a king, and he didn't want to leave the capital to go to the fiefdom. He just wanted to be with his mother, his younger brother, the crown prince, his seventh brother, and his third sister.

This was his understanding of happiness.
