He was a majestic Miao lord, but the next Miao king was actually fooled by the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty.

Wan Yeshi angrily took the guards to the palace.

In the court hall, the emperor was discussing with Dachengmen how to receive the Miao lords, when he received a report from the guards that the lords came to see the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand and let the person in.

After being reminded by his confidants, Wan Yueshi first paid a respectful visit to the emperor, and then pretended to casually ask the emperor about the princess, "I wonder where Princess Yuluo is now?"

The emperor sat on the dragon chair, waved his hand and laughed loudly: "It seems that Lord Wan is also a man of temperament, and Princess Yuluo is currently staying at the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Wan Yueshi bowed his hands towards the emperor and asked: "I heard that Princess Yuluo is very beautiful, and the title of princess was given recently. I wonder if this is true?"

Wan Yueshi's move was really brilliant, he directly questioned him in front of all the civil and military officials.

It's not true that the emperor admits it, nor does he admit it, nor does he admit it. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Wan Yueshi with a calm face.

The civil and military officials were in an uproar. Chengwen, the Minister of Rites, stood up and saluted Wan Yueshi, and said loudly: "I wonder where Lord Wan heard such gossip?"

Wan Yueshi sneered, "Even the kid on the street knows something, why would he need to hear it from other places?"

"Not to mention that that person was previously engaged to another person."

"If the emperor doesn't want to make peace with me in Miao territory, that's all. Why do you want to randomly insert people into me? Do you really think that I have no one in Miao territory and will not refuse anyone who comes?"

Seeing that Wan Yueshi's words were so serious, the Minister of Rites did not dare to speak to persuade him anymore, so he had to retreat silently.

For a moment, there was a strange atmosphere in the court, which made people feel very subtle. Every look and every murmur made people feel at a loss.

"No. Lord Wan must have misunderstood."

At this time, Lu Shiyan stood up, and his handsome and elegant demeanor attracted Wan Yueshi's attention.

"Misunderstanding? What is there to misunderstand about this kind of thing?"

"Please allow me to explain this to Lord Wan, Your Majesty."

Lu Shiyan bowed his hands towards the emperor at the top. The emperor had a gloomy face and said: "Yes."

Seeing this, Lu Shiyan finally opened his mouth to explain: "I am the princess's ex-fiancé as you said. What you said is true, but please allow me to come with you for the reason..."

So Lu Shiyan talked eloquently in the court, "The person who was supposed to be friends with the lord in the Qin and Jin Dynasties was the eldest princess of Huayang. However, a strange thing happened from the sky. The eldest princess of Huayang had to pray for the people and always accompany the green lantern. This We just changed the candidate temporarily.”

"It just so happens that Princess Yuluo is the daughter of our prime minister. She is also a treasured person, and she is also the companion of Princess Huayang. Before the princess went to pray, she had left a letter asking the saint to take good care of Zeng. playmate."

Lu Shiyan looked at Wan Yeshi

"The saint naturally believed that there was no better place than marrying to the Miao territory to accompany the future King of Miao, so by some mistake, he named her Princess Yuluo in the hope of marrying the lord to the Qin and Jin Dynasties. .”

"I hope the lord will calm down. I don't know where the lord heard the one-sided remarks before. Now it is really inappropriate to bring it to the court to question our emperor."

After listening to Lu Shiyan's explanation, Wan Yueshi looked much better. At least it wasn't the emperor deliberately trying to fool him.

But he still felt unwilling to do so, "Wan will not be lucky enough to marry a princess like Qin and Jin, and have a pact between the two surnames. Please take back your life."

Seeing that Wan Yueshi rejected the engagement, the emperor sighed with a gloomy face and said: "After all, we are destined to have no destiny. In this case, the engagement is invalid."

Seeing the unhappy look on the emperor's face, Wan Yueshi felt much relieved. He raised his hand and said, "Since the engagement is invalidated, Wan does not dare to delay the princess. It is better to take the opportunity to restore the princess's previous engagement partner in order to fulfill her lover."

Things started to get weird.

Wan Yueshi's demands were repeatedly excessive, but the emperor knew that Wan Yueshi had brought this matter up in front of all the civil and military officials, so he had no choice but to comply. After all, it was indeed his lack of thinking about this matter, and he looked at it again. Lu Shiyan looked respectful underneath.

"This is a very good matter. Lord Wan has thought very carefully about it."

In order to save face, the emperor had to compromise with the Miao territory.

"Lu Shiyan stepped forward to listen to the order."

"You and Gu Shufei are now ordered to resume your engagement. The Qintian Prison will choose a good date for the date... and we will get married within next year. You two have been through many twists and turns, and good things have come in many ways."

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace."

Lu Shiyan saluted and thanked the emperor.

Upon hearing this, Wan Yueshi raised his hands to Shi Yan and said congratulations: "Congratulations."

A smile appeared on Lu Shiyan's cold face, he nodded towards Wan Yueshi and said softly: "Thank you."

After the break, many courtiers were mumbling about today's events.

"Do you think that Miaojiang lord did it on purpose?"

"Be a good fiancée and don't pass it on to others?" The white-haired old man asked the old friend beside him gossiping with his golden eyes shining.

Another old man also said enthusiastically: "I'll give you someone who was engaged and then broke off. Do you want it?"

The old man with the white beard thought for a moment and shook his head.

"You don't want it, how do you expect others to want it?"

"Then what do you mean by the superiors pushing this person back to Lu Shiyan?"

The old man with a white beard looked around and asked the friends around him softly.

"Don't guess, don't tell."

The two looked around cautiously, then coughed twice and walked forward.

This kind of gossip spreads quickly.

Before Gu Yuanzheng returned to the house, Gu Shuyan had already learned that Gu Shufei had resumed her engagement with Lu Shiyan and had moved the date forward.

She gritted her teeth with hatred. Everything was first come, first served. If Gu Shufei got engaged earlier than him, what's the point?

No matter what, you should be better than her.

So Gu Shuyan made an appointment with Lu Shizhan to meet by Dongting Lake.

Gu Shuyan's legs are not easy to walk yet, and she doesn't want to use crutches. So he had to be carried in and out.

Next to Dongting Lake. Welcome guests.

"My lord, you are here..."

When she saw Lu Shizhan, Gu Shuyan sat up straight and looked at him with a sweet voice.

The strange thing is that usually, if he saw Gu Shuyan calling him so coquettishly, he would have been filled with satisfaction, but today something seemed wrong, as if something was missing.

So he just nodded silently and took the tea cup from Gu Shufei.

"Can my marriage to the prince be brought forward?"

Gu Shuyan's shy blush crept onto her cheeks.

"Why?"

Lu Shizhan frowned. When he heard that the engagement was brought forward, he thought of Gu Shufei and Lu Shiyan.

"I just want to marry the prince as soon as possible..."

Hearing this voice, he felt unspeakably annoyed, "My father has the final say on the engagement..."

The implication is that there is no way to do this.

"Your Majesty..." Seeing Gu Shuyan's weak and disappointed look, Lu Shizhan became even more impatient.
