"It's done!"

As the clear and loud voice of the official resounded throughout the venue, the guests below all congratulated him.

Everyone says that Master Wen is blessed, as both of his daughters are so beautiful, gentle and polite.

Master Wen was also happy. He loved both Shan Yanjing and Mei Susu very much, and believed from the bottom of his heart that both children were excellent.

"I wonder if Miss Shan Er is married?"

I don't know which lady asked this question, but the whole table fell silent. Everyone looked towards the stands, waiting for Master Wen's reply.

Master Wen glanced at Madam Shan, and they both looked towards the door.

Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince late today?

Do they say yes or no?

Seeing that Grand Master Wen and his wife were hesitating, the people below started to make a noise, "Grand Master Wen has been hesitating for so long, could it be that the second Miss Shan already has an engagement?"

The other party's tone was unkind, and it was obvious that he was saying, your daughter is raised in the farm, and she has never returned to Kyoto. Is there an engagement? Could it be some country bumpkin?

The other party's words elicited a few low laughs, and everyone was whispering to each other, and the words they said were somewhat unbearable to hear.

Master Wen's face immediately fell: "Today is my daughter's coming of age. Whether my daughter has an engagement or not is none of outsiders' business. If there is someone who spoils the fun and wants to embarrass everyone, then stay at the gate and leave!"

The person who spoke was the son of Jingzhao Yin Shu. Relying on his father's high position and power in the court, he never took others seriously.

Normally, others would give him some leeway, for fear that this second-generation rich man would be targeted by the Jingzhao Yin and cause trouble for the rest of his life.

If it were in the past, Master Wen would probably have just let it go, but today, he would not give in to anyone.

Even if Xuanyuan Che wasn't there, he would never allow anyone to slander his child's reputation at his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony!

Mr. Shu had never been ordered to leave in front of so many people, so his face immediately turned ugly. He slammed the table and stood up, looking cynical and dissolute.

"Could it be that I am wrong? If there is an engagement, then there is one. If there is no engagement, then there is no one. If there is something hidden, then there is something shameful! Could it be that this second girl has secretly decided to spend her life with someone else?"

"Shut up!" Master Wen was so angry that he wanted to rush off the stage and shut up Master Shu.

Master Shu didn't know that he was in big trouble yet. He fanned himself in a playful manner, "Look, I just told the truth and Master Wen was so angry. It's just like what my father said. This Master Wen's Mansion has fallen into decline!"

After saying that, he kicked the stool away and prepared to leave.

Before he could move, a servant's voice came from the door.

"The emperor is here!"

"His Royal Highness is here!"

There was an uproar.

Everyone stood up to greet him, and Master Shu stopped moving to leave.

The emperor and the prince are people who are rarely seen. Even though his father is the prefect of Jingzhao, he himself has no official position, so it is extremely difficult for him to see the emperor and the prince.

If such a noble person can gain face in front of the other party, then promotion and wealth will be just around the corner.

So he quickly pushed his way through the crowd and prepared to show his face at the door.

Xuanyuan Che was wearing a dark red brocade robe with gold thread trim today. Dragon patterns could be seen on the background of the robe. The sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and black bird patterns were embroidered on his chest and arms. As he walked, the black bird's eyes changed with the light, sometimes showing good, sometimes showing evil, and it was strange and changeable.

He wore a gold and jade belt around his waist, with a long tasseled palace belt, and a black jade hanging from it. Next to the black jade was a love knot. Judging from the embroidery and workmanship, the love knot was extremely crude, but inexplicably it matched Xuanyuan Che's clothes today.

Xuanyuan Che was born with a beautiful appearance, and even if he wore the plainest clothes on weekdays, his charm was still hard to conceal.

Today's outfit not only makes him look noble, but also makes his already enchanting appearance look more majestic, making people look up to him.

Emperor Shunde was still wearing a dragon robe and acting like an emperor. Although he was not as handsome as Xuanyuan Che, he was much more majestic than Xuanyuan Che.

As soon as the father and son entered the house, everyone knelt down in unison, except for a woman in white in the corner who did not kneel. She just held the cat in her arms and looked at the two people in front of the door quietly.

"Your Highness, long live the Emperor! Long live the Crown Prince!"

Emperor Shunde hummed lightly and raised his hand: "Everyone, please stand up. I am here to join in the fun. No need to be polite."

Compared with Emperor Shunde's amiable expression, Xuanyuan Che's face was dark and frightening.

He scanned the room and his eyes fell on Master Shu. Then, under everyone's gaze, he walked towards Master Shu.

Mr. Shu thought Xuanyuan Che knew his identity and was about to show off, but Xuanyuan Che came up and grabbed his collar without saying a word, then kicked him to the front door.

This scene happened so quickly that before everyone could react, Master Shu had already been kicked away.

Xuanyuan Che didn't even bother to look at him. He swept away his robe and strode towards Mei Susu in the stands.

Looking at the little girl wearing the crown, Xuanyuan Che's heart beat fast. His little cat has finally grown up.

Following the rules, Mei Susu did not rush over excitedly. It was not until Xuanyuan Che approached that she whispered, "Cheche."

Then she looked up at him, aggrieved: "Why did you come just now? You missed my coming-of-age ceremony."

Xuanyuan Che curled his lips and smiled: "It's my fault, so Su Su wants to punish me? I accept the punishment."

Mei Susu saw the light flashing in his black eyes and knew that this thief fox was exuding his charm again. She glared at him unhappily and said, "Anyway, I don't care. You missed her coming-of-age ceremony, so you have to make it up to her."

"Okay, after today, I will compensate Susu for whatever she wants."

Mei Susu smiled brightly: "Then I want to go out and play, to many fun places."

Xuanyuan Che smiled dotingly: "As you wish."

"Cough cough." Shan Yanjing couldn't stand it anymore, so she coughed twice to remind them that there were other people next to them and asked them to please care about other people's lives.

Mei Susu stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously.

"Cheche, is it okay for you to kick that guy so far away?" Mei Susu looked at the person at the door who was not aware of his own life or death and asked worriedly.

Xuanyuan Che turned around to take a look, then waved his hand, and the young eunuch hurriedly came up to the stage carrying the things.

Emperor Shunde was also invited by Grand Master Wen to sit in the stands.

It was not until Zhao Zhen read out the engagement speech that the guests in the audience reacted.

They realized why when they asked Master Wen whether the second young lady of the mountain was engaged, Master Wen and his wife hesitated.

It’s not because the second young lady of Shan has secretly married someone, nor is it because the Shan family has some shameful secret to hide.

But the person Miss Shan is engaged to is the Crown Prince of the Dashun Dynasty, Xuanyuan Che!

Shan Ruijin is actually the Crown Princess appointed by the Emperor!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Master Shu who was lying on the ground at the door. Thinking of his careless words just now, they knew that the Shu family, the Jingzhao Yin, was in great trouble.
