Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 179 I Almost Forgot My Father

Shen Nanqiao automatically ignored Prince Cheng's indignation. She looked at the new Princess Cheng and spoke word by word.

"Shen Mingde has never been a generous person. When he returns today and thinks things over, he will definitely come to confirm with the princess whether he will be safe for the rest of his life. After all, you have held his handle for so many years, and he has an instinctive fear."

Having said this, she paused and looked at King Cheng who had an unhappy expression on his face.

"But then again, this is a hidden danger after all, so we have to make plans early to avoid being caught off guard by him."

Princess Cheng still had some confidence in her ability to control Shen Mingde, so she obviously didn't take it seriously.

Besides, her mind was not here at all at the moment. After Shen Nanqiao finished speaking, she took a deep breath and spoke tentatively.

"Really, are you going to keep calling me princess?"

Shen Nanqiao met the other person's expectant gaze and sighed very softly.

"Originally I shouldn't have mentioned this. Madam and I look so similar, and Madam and my mother are sisters, which is a rare fate. So I'm going to take the risk and ask for a god-in-law. How do you think?"

When Princess Cheng heard "she is my mother's sister", her eyes dimmed noticeably, but when she heard her say that she wanted to adopt her as her godparents, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

King Cheng waved his hand, stood up immediately, and roared in dissatisfaction.

"You are obviously our biological daughter! Why are you admitting your relationship with us?"

Ever since he found out Shen Nanqiao's identity, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do.

Thinking back to the first time they met, he had an inexplicable liking for this pretty girl, and even wondered if there was something wrong with him.

And during this period, there were also speculations about her identity.

When he found out that this girl was indeed his biological daughter, he was so overjoyed that he wanted to pick all the stars and the moon in the sky and give them to her to make up for the void that had been missing for so many years.

Shen Nanqiao smiled.

"Your Highness forgot that my last name is Shen. If I really acknowledge you as your Highness or your wife, wouldn't all the efforts of the Cining Palace today be in vain?"

King Cheng knew it very well.

But he had been lonely for half his life, and now he had finally married the princess, but he could not recognize his beautiful daughter even though she was right next to him.

Ning Su, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

"First acknowledge him as your godparents. There may come a day when you can recognize him as your real relative."

Prince Cheng's heart was moved. As long as Emperor Ming was around, it would be difficult for the three of them to truly reunite. But what if Emperor Ming was gone?

Thinking of this, he looked up at Ning Su, and they both saw a tacit understanding in each other's eyes.

Shen Nanqiao obviously understood the deeper meaning and gave Ning Su a sweet smile.

For a moment, Prince Cheng felt mixed emotions.

I am such a well-behaved little girl, and I was coaxed away by this boy before I even had the chance to be with him. I feel so unwilling to accept this.

Shen Nanqiao had no idea of ​​the twists and turns in his mind. He simply picked up the untouched tea on the table and knelt down in front of King Cheng and his wife.

"In that case, why not wait for a better day? I will offer this cup of tea to the princess. From now on, she will be my goddaughter."

Princess Cheng's heart warmed. She rushed to take it, took a sip quickly, and reached out to support her daughter.

Prince Cheng was quick to pull the man back and stared at the half-remaining cup of tea, speaking with grievance.

"And there is this prince! How can you only recognize your godmother and not your godfather?"

Shen Nanqiao was stunned for a moment and subconsciously glanced at Ning Su.

In fact, she had never thought about Prince Cheng at all. Her mind was previously filled with reuniting with her biological mother, and only now did she realize that she seemed to have a father.

Prince Cheng was already feeling quite aggrieved, and when he saw his daughter looking at that boy, he felt even more aggrieved.

His beloved daughter, whom he picked out from thousands, actually had to look at other people's faces. This was because she was already married. If she wasn't, he would have to find a way to separate the two of them.

It's not like now, the matter is done and we can only endure it.

Princess Cheng saw through Prince Cheng's thoughts, so she lowered her voice and spoke.

"Looking at the court, at this age and with this talent, and being so devoted to Qiao Qiao, what else can you find fault with?"

After being stroked, Prince Cheng calmed down a lot, and then he thought about it, the last time he fought side by side with this guy to quell the rebellion, the two of them were like equals.

At this moment, he felt inexplicably a generation younger than himself, and he felt a lot more comfortable.

Shen Nanqiao received a look of affirmation from Ning Su, so he took another cup of tea and respectfully offered it to King Cheng.

"Your Highness is in charge of the Yanyun Guards, and is truly a person that the current emperor values. It is a great honor for me to recognize Your Highness as my foster father."

King Cheng felt extremely relieved by these words, and the unhappiness he had just felt was completely forgotten.

He hurriedly took the tea from his daughter, drank it all, and then solemnly placed the jade pendant that Princess Cheng had given him when she asked for medicine in Shen Nanqiao's hand.

"This is what your grandmother left for me. I gave it to you...godmother. Now I pass it on to you as a gift."

When Shen Nanqiao saw King Cheng take out the jade pendant, he remembered the day when he generously gave him medicine, so he softened his voice.

"Thank you, foster father. I haven't even repaid you for saving my life last time. I'm really sorry to have to take something from you again this time."

Before he finished speaking, King Cheng's voice was heard as loud as a bell.

"What are you talking about! I have no children, so everything will be yours in the future. A mere jade pendant is not worth mentioning." He glared at Ning Su in a warning tone, "Qiao Qiao is also a person who is protected by someone, so you better be careful in the future. If you make her unhappy, I will not be polite."

Before Ning Su could speak, he saw Shen Nanqiao quickly blocking the way.

"I have always been a very dedicated and devoted official to my work. Your Majesty, there is no need to act like a father-in-law."

Prince Cheng was choked and froze in place. Is this what people call a female appearance?

It really lives up to its reputation.

Shen Nanqiao didn't think so. Ning Su's protection of her could be traced back to the previous life, and Prince Cheng was just an outsider who was not much better than a stranger to her.

Although they are related by blood, it is obvious who is more important emotionally.

Princess Cheng smiled with her hands covering her lips. Although she didn't know much about this factory official and the public opinions she had heard about him before didn't seem very good, but judging from the attitude he had towards Qiao Qiao in recent days, he was indeed impeccable.

So I couldn't help but support my daughter.

"Qiao Qiao has taken care of herself all these years and is used to seeing the instability of human nature. Her judgment should not be wrong."

Prince Cheng was originally a little angry because his daughter favored Ning Su, but when he heard what Princess Cheng said, he immediately felt sad.

If he had not been absent all these years, his daughter would not have been bullied in the Shen family, and in the end even her marriage was snatched away by someone else. If it were not for the eunuch Ning Su, she would have become a laughing stock in the whole city.

Thinking of this, he looked at Shen Nanqiao with some sympathy and guilt.

Shen Nanqiao could roughly guess what he was thinking, but it was difficult for him to explain in detail. Just as he was about to respond, he heard King Cheng patting his chest and making a bold statement.

"We have put our past behind us. Today you have acknowledged me as your king. From now on, Prince Cheng's Mansion and Yanyun Guard will be your backers. Whoever you want to punish, your godfather will help you punish him."

This is equivalent to granting her the right to run rampant in the capital. Ning Su raised his eyebrows, seeming very satisfied with this statement.

Shen Nanqiao knew when to stop, so he immediately bowed slightly.

"Thank you, godfather."

Prince Cheng was so overwhelmed by the word "godfather" that he was at a loss. A godfather is also a father! Just ignore the word "godfather".

So he immediately asked the old housekeeper to take care of it, as he wanted to marry and recognize the relative at the same time.

Ning Su felt a little relieved. With the golden signboard of King Cheng, if others wanted to cause trouble for Shen Nanqiao in the future, they would have to think twice.

"The Ninth Princess suffered such a great loss today, and the Emperor confronted the Queen Mother in the Cining Palace. I'm afraid he will use someone as a pretext next." Ning Su glanced at Prince Cheng, "Qiao Qiao's safety is in your hands, Your Majesty."

Prince Cheng was about to promise, but Shen Nanqiao found the loophole.

"how about you?"
