For a moment, the whole court was silent.

The court officials who had been discussing the matter a moment ago fell silent, and all eyes were focused on that person, wanting to see how he would react.

This eldest daughter of the Shen family is so bold!

They had never heard of such unorthodox behavior.

How could a daughter of an aristocratic family openly marry a eunuch? Is this something glorious?

Even if this eunuch was the powerful Ninth Prince, it was still unbelievable.

At least, it is impossible for their family's noble daughter to marry a eunuch, no matter how powerful or noble the eunuch is.

It’s not that they love their daughter so much, but they can’t afford to lose face in front of this person!

If they really did this, our ancestors would probably be so angry that they would die.

In their opinion, the daughter of the Shen family said this simply because she was extremely jealous and couldn't swallow her anger, so she just said it in a fit of anger.

But His Majesty actually threw this question to the Ninth Prince in front of the entire court, as if he would grant the marriage to the Shen family's daughter if the Ninth Prince agreed to marry her...

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the biggest event since the founding of North Vietnam.

Shen Nanxing also set his sights on the man.

Before, I only dared to glance at him secretly out of the corner of my eye, but now I can look at him openly.

From her angle, she could only see the man's profile, with the perfect curve outlining his extremely handsome face.

Still the same monster as always!

In her previous life, she was blinded by love and only had eyes for that scumbag Xie Tingyu. It can be said that she had never looked at other men, let alone noticed the peerless beauty of Jiu Qian Sui.

But perhaps because he was the one who collected her body, she was forced to stay by his side and couldn't leave him more than three steps away.

The days were long and when she was bored, she would just stare at him in a daze.

Anyway, no one else can see her, so she can look however she wants without restraint.

It was also at that time that she noticed that the Nine Thousand Year Old Man, who had always been aloof, had such an enchanting appearance, more than ten times more handsome than Xie Tingyu.

Especially those phoenix eyes. Whenever they looked at her tombstone, the expression in them was so complicated that she couldn't quite understand it. But whenever her eyes met those eyes, she would be deeply immersed in them...

Facing a face like this every day, even if he can't do that, it's not a loss!

From the moment Shen Nanxing woke up after rebirth, she decided that she would stay by his side in this life, one to repay his kindness, and the other to use his power to take revenge.

And the best way to stay with him is to marry him.

He probably was willing. After all, he had done that for her in his previous life. She didn't believe that he had no feelings for her at all.

But seeing him acting as if he was staying out of the matter, she still felt uneasy.

She held her breath, waiting for his answer.

The court was silent for a while.

The man didn't move, not even his posture changed, he just slowly uttered two words.

The sound was not loud, but it echoed throughout the court.

"Don't marry."

......

After leaving the court, Xie Tingyu looked anxious and walked out of the palace without even looking at Shen Nanxing.

Shen Nanxing had no time to care about him, because as soon as she walked out of the hall, her grandfather grabbed her ear and put her into the sedan chair to leave the palace.

As soon as he left the palace, he was away from the crowd.

Lord Shen couldn't help but roared, "Shen Nanxing, explain to me clearly why you said in the court that you wanted to marry the Ninth Thousand Years Old Man?"

"Are there no good men left in North Vietnam? Huh?"

With a lion's roar, Shen Nanxing rubbed his ears, which were numb from the shock. "Grandfather, please keep your voice down! I'm going deaf!"

The old man glared at her with his beard puffed out, and said nothing angrily.

Shen Nanxing curled her lips and gave in: "Okay, can't I tell you the truth?"

"Hmph!" The old man turned his face away, but his ears were wide open.

Shen Nanxing laughed and then explained: "Grandfather, Prince Jing's heart is not with me, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life dying in the palace. You also know my temper, I..."

"Don't you know what kind of temper you have?" the old man interrupted her.

"You've been half-hearted about everything you do since you were a child, but you've only been persistent in one thing, which is liking that kid Xie Tingyu."

"When you were little, your only wish was to marry that guy. You only cared about things related to that guy. You were as thin as a bamboo pole when you were little. No matter how your mother tried to persuade you to eat more, it was useless. It was only when the old man tricked you into saying that the guy liked fatter women that you started eating a big bowl of rice for every meal."

"And during those eight years when you pretended to be your brother, you must have made hundreds of purses for that boy, right? You couldn't do needlework to begin with, and you pricked your fingers until they were like sieves..."

Shen Nanxing was startled, his eyes reddened. "You, you knew I wasn't... your brother?"

"When did you...?"

Old Master Shen tilted his head upwards and blinked vigorously. When the sourness faded a little, he said, "You and Beiyue may look identical, but your expressions, habits, and little movements... are all different. I watched you grow up with my own eyes. How could you possibly hide this from me?"

"The first day you dressed up as Beiyue, the old man saw through it..."

"Beiyue started learning martial arts from the old man when she was four years old. She wouldn't cry when she did horse stance for two hours, nor would she sneak out to play when the old man was not around..."

Shen Nanxing's eyes widened in shock: "Since you knew I wasn't your brother, why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep me by your side like a brother?"

For the past eight years, she has been carefully imitating her brother's every move, and she always thought that only she and her mother knew about it.

It turns out that my grandfather also knew about it!

Old Master Shen still felt his eyes sting, so he raised his hand and rubbed them. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Prince Jing was wrong about what happened yesterday, and His Majesty has fined him a year's salary. As for that woman, His Majesty has also ordered her to be beaten with thirty sticks."

"Well, let's just let this matter go! Live a good life with Prince Jing in the future. You've already made a fool of yourself today. Don't ever mention such nonsense as marrying the Ninth Thousand Years Old again. Do you understand?"

Shen Nanxing hurriedly said: "Grandfather, I no longer like Prince Jing. I am in love with Prince Jiuqian, I..."

"But the Ninth Prince has already rejected you in front of the entire court. Besides, what do you like about the Ninth Prince?"

"He's good-looking!"

Mr. Shen:!!!

......

Xie Tingyu ran all the way out of the palace, his court robes soaked with sweat and sticking to his body. But he didn't care at all, and couldn't even wait to get in the carriage. He untied the reins, jumped on the horse, and galloped towards Prince Jing's mansion.

But before he ran far, he was blocked by a black sedan not far ahead.
