As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Ji Jiuying! Discussions arose.
The envoys from the Western Jin Kingdom and the Garan Kingdom arrived in Cangyue yesterday, so they also saw the strange phenomenon in the sky last night!
Ji Jiuying lowered her head and savored the tea in her hand. Hehe~ Is it finally coming?
Clearly, the emperor laughed heartily upon hearing the words of the third prince of the Kingdom of Garan.
"Hahaha~ This shows that my Cangyue has produced a prodigy, which is a blessing for Cangyue! But I am also very curious about who the master of this divine beast Vermilion Bird is." The emperor said, glancing at Ji Jiuying.
To be honest, he also wanted to know if the strange phenomena in the sky last night were related to her. According to the scouts, there were no suspicious movements at the Princess's residence all night.
I just heard from Eunuch Min that she had been in seclusion all night cultivating and knew nothing about the strange phenomena in the sky or the envoys from other countries. Could it really be that she had nothing to do with it?
"You all saw the Vermilion Bird last night, right? The scene was truly breathtaking!"
"That's right, my dad was so excited that he dragged me to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. Look at the injury on my forehead!"
"Ouch! My dear father!"
"Who do you think is so lucky to be able to contract with the divine beast Vermilion Bird?"
"Could it be Princess Anping again?"
"How is this possible!"
"I suspect that only a deity like the Imperial Preceptor could form a contract with the mythical beast Vermilion Bird!"
"That makes sense!"
"I also think it should be the Imperial Advisor!"
"······"
The discussion below continued, while some people's gazes lingered on Ji Jiuying, seemingly unintentionally.
Jun Linyu looked at Ji Jiuying with a probing gaze, as if trying to see right through her.
Only a woman as outstanding as her is worthy of him as the Third Prince's consort; it seems he needs to find a way as soon as possible...
Meanwhile, Ji Chenyuan was drinking one glass of wine after another on the table, and looking at the outstanding Ji Jiuying now, he was filled with regret.
Unlike the others who were overjoyed, the Second Prince Jun Lintian and Prince Zhen couldn't help but show a hint of worry on their faces.
Sure enough, the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it!
Ji Jiuying is very strong and has also made a contract with a dragon, which is naturally a good thing. However, she is too sharp and outspoken, which may attract the attention of those with ulterior motives!
"I wonder what Princess Anping thinks of the strange phenomena last night?" the Third Prince of Jialan asked with a smile, his eyes fixed on Ji Jiuying, not missing a single change in her face.
"As for the strange phenomenon that the Third Prince Jialan mentioned, I haven't seen it at all, so the Third Prince has asked the wrong person!" Ji Jiuying said with a regretful expression.
"Hehehe~" The Third Prince of Jialan chuckled, clearly not quite believing her words.
Ji Jiuying didn't have time to care whether he believed it or not.
"This is the first time a dragon has appeared on our Cangming Continent. I wonder if Your Majesty would allow us to witness the dragon's majesty?" The eldest prince of Jialan, who had been silent until now, said to the emperor.
That's right, she directly questioned the emperor, bypassing her directly.
Those who had never seen a dragon before were also getting restless, and the scene instantly became exciting again, with everyone looking at Ji Jiuying expectantly.
Emperor Jun Bufan would naturally not easily offend Ji Jiuying, but he had no choice but to pass the buck back to her.
"I cannot make this decision, Your Highness, you should ask Princess Anping of Cangyue!"
Upon hearing Emperor Jun Bufan's words, Crown Prince Jialan was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered and turned to ask Ji Jiuying;
"I wonder if the princess would do me the honor? I'm sure the officials of Cangyue would also like to witness the dragon's majesty once again," the eldest prince said with a forced smile.
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince of Western Jin was scrutinizing Ji Jiuying with an inquisitive look. Before coming, he had found out that in just two months, she had transformed from a good-for-nothing who knew nothing into a genius and had even formed a contract with a dragon.
What exactly changed her, or was she just too good at hiding it? Even the emperor had to curry favor with her.
For most people, having such strength and prestige at the age of fourteen is something to be proud of, but she remained indifferent throughout.
————
Haha, how dare you be disrespectful to me and expect me to do you any favors? It's utterly ridiculous.
"I've long heard that Jialan has plenty of everything but the most cities. I wonder if the Crown Prince of Jialan would do me the honor of giving one of these ponds to my Cangyue?" Ji Jiuying put down the pastries in her hand and said calmly.
Wow~ This princess really dares to speak her mind. Everyone was sweating bullets because of Ji Jiuying's boldness!
But the emperor on the stage was interacting with the empress and Consort Liang, seemingly oblivious to the matter at hand.
As expected, Crown Prince Jialan's face turned cold, but then he suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha~ If the princess could marry into my Jialan family, I would give up not just one city, but ten cities!"
Upon hearing this, not only did the ministers of Cangyue immediately turn cold, but even the emperor's face darkened.
However, a few individuals revealed gloating expressions, their eyes filled with the hope that Ji Jiuying could marry someone far away.
Jun Buhui, who was standing next to Ji Jiuying, tugged at Ji Jiuying's hand and whispered, "Little Jiuying, don't marry into the Jialan Kingdom."
Ji Jiuying chuckled and patted her head. She definitely wouldn't marry him, but she asked curiously, "Why doesn't the Seventh Princess want me to marry Jialan?"
"Because I really like Sister Xiao Jiu. If Sister Xiao Jiu marries Jia Lan, I will never see her again," Jun Bu Hui said reluctantly.
"Why don't you marry my brother, Little Ninth Sister, and become my sister-in-law?" Jun Buhui thought for a moment and then said. She was really too clever!
puff--
Cough cough cough~ Ji Jiuying spat out the tea in her mouth. Well, she shouldn't have been curious about a little girl's thoughts!
"Sister Xiao Jiu, how are you? Why did you suddenly choke?" Jun Bu Hui had no idea that she was the culprit!
"It's okay, it's okay, I just drank it too fast..."
Ji Jiuying gave her a perfunctory reply and then ignored her, while Jun Buhui was still thinking about how to get her brother to marry Sister Xiao Jiu.
"Your Highness, you seem to be blind to the current situation. If I, Cangyue, wanted to conquer ten cities of Jialan, it would be an easy task!" Third Prince Jun Linyu said sternly.
These words immediately changed the atmosphere at the banquet.
In short, the Cangyue of today is no longer the Cangyue of the past. Not only do they not ask Jialan to send a princess for a marriage alliance, but they also dare to shamelessly ask for a marriage proposal!
The fact that Princess Anping was specifically chosen makes the purpose quite clear!
As expected, Crown Prince Jialan's smile froze for a moment, then he forced out an extremely unnatural smile.
"Your Highness is joking. My brother has had too much to drink and is talking nonsense. I hope Your Majesty, the Princess, and everyone else will not take it to heart!" The Third Prince of Jialan stepped forward and bowed to the Emperor.
(I'm taking a day off today. I have a bad cold and my head is spinning. You guys can save this for a few days. Mwah!)
