Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Chapter 235: The Token of Love My Mother Accepted for Me

The emperor sat behind the imperial desk, and Fang Yao stood beside him. The two of them watched Xiao Chenze and Shen Li come in, each with different feelings.

In the eyes of the emperor, there is no daughter-in-law more suitable than Shen Li.

In Fang Yao's eyes, no one was worthy of his niece. In comparison, the princes scored the lowest. Because the royal family was full of things to do, with open and covert fighting and daily calculations, it was simply not a life for human beings.

"My son has met my father."

"Your Majesty, your servant has met you."

"Okay, okay, oh, okay, everyone stand up."

"Uncle." Shen Li stood up and glanced at Fang Yao.

"Well, Li'er, please check the emperor's pulse first to see how he is doing. After that, the emperor has something to ask you."

"Yes." Shen Li reached out and took the medicine box from Qiluo, opened it, took out the stethoscope and walked towards the emperor.

Xiao Chenze looked at the stethoscope and suddenly remembered the time when he woke up from a coma and found himself taken to a strange room by Shen Li.

At that time, Shen Li had used a stethoscope to listen to his movements. When she asked her, she said to listen to his heart, lungs, etc. He had never heard of most of those words. His injuries were serious at the time, so he was not in the mood to ask.

Besides this, there is another very strange thing.

Is that why every time Shen Li uses the instant teleportation technique to abduct people, she always takes them to the same place?

Shouldn't we stop at the nearest place where we took them from?

But she wasn't like that. The place where she had taken them was always there, like her house. No, it was like a cage, holding all the people she had taken captive and taking them to wherever she wanted.

"Your Majesty, you are doing well now. I have brought you some medicine. After the Imperial Hospital examines it, you can take it according to the instructions I have written down. This medicine is very effective. As long as you take it on time, Your Majesty will be free from worries forever."

Fang Yao let out a long sigh and instantly felt proud.

"For eternity? Alas, how could I dare to think so much? Now I only hope to see my sons get married and take over my kingdom safely. When I go to the underworld to meet my ancestors, I won't be scolded by them. I will be thankful."

Fang Yao pricked up his ears when he heard it.

The emperor is starting to bring the topic back to that topic.

After saying this, the emperor saw that no one took over, so he winked at Eunuch Chang.

Eunuch Chang quickly said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The princes are outstanding people. Isn't it easy for them to get married?"

"How can it be simple?" the emperor said sadly after coughing twice. "Take my eldest son for example. His two brothers have already agreed on princesses, but he hasn't made any moves. Sigh, it really makes me worry."

He looked at Fang Yao, who was standing there with his eyes closed, looking very leisurely. The emperor was so angry just by looking at him that he really wanted to hit him in the face with the memorial on the table.

I've already given you such a way out, and you bastard still refuse to respond. Do you really have to force me to say it so bluntly?

Cough, cough, cough.

The emperor covered his mouth and coughed hard twice.

Fang Yao twitched his ears, curled his lips inwardly, and then said, "Your Majesty, why are you coughing again? Didn't you just use the medicine Li'er brought? Besides, no one here is bothering you, why are you so anxious?"

You ask even though you already know the answer. This bastard asks even though he already knows the answer.

The emperor looked at Fang Yao pretending to be stupid, and if the children were not around, he really wanted to have him beaten up.

"Your Majesty, I remember the general saying his niece was beautiful, intelligent, and clever, a role model for the ladies of the capital. Now it seems that it is true as the general said. Miss Shen is one of the finest girls in the capital." Eunuch Chang had been serving the emperor for so many years. Seeing that Fang Yao was unwilling to respond to the emperor's words, he quickly said with a smile, "Such a fine girl cannot be matched with a husband lower than hers. But if she is to be matched with a higher one... it seems that only the princes can be considered worthy. Ahem, well, I think that Miss Shen and the eldest prince are a perfect match. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"Yeah, you're right. I think they're a good match. I didn't expect that you, who don't even have a wife, are so good at predicting marriages. So, you think they look like a good match, too?"

"Yes, I've felt this way for a long time. Even though I don't understand the inner mysteries, the ones I see on the stage are all perfect couples, just like the eldest prince and Miss Shen. Oh, my heart, just looking at them is filled with beauty."

Fang Yao rolled his eyes.

Eunuch Chang tried his best to cooperate with the emperor in a double act, but he was too lazy to say a word.

Anyway, Li'er has made up her mind. No matter how much they say, as long as Li'er doesn't agree, it won't matter what anyone says.

Xiao Chenze stood next to Eunuch Chang and looked up to see Shen Li standing next to Fang Yao. Shen Li's face gradually turned red, her eyes rolled around, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"Miss Shen," the emperor said for a moment, the atmosphere building to this point, so he didn't intend to continue beating around the bush. His voice deepened, carrying the emperor's majesty, "What do you think of what I just said? Since you happen to be in the palace today, tell me the truth."

Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Li.

Shen Li thought quietly for a while, squatted down, opened the medicine box, reached in and felt around, and took out a purse.

Then he stood up and opened his purse in front of everyone, and a jade pendant shining with a lustrous luster appeared in front of everyone.

"This is the engagement token my mother received when she arranged my marriage at the farm. I'm not being proud, but I'm already married, so I can't discuss marriage with the eldest prince. Your Majesty, please understand."

Eunuch Chang hurried over, took the jade pendant from Shen Li, and prepared to present it to the emperor.

Little did he know that his eyes would almost pop out after just one glance.

The jade pendant was handed to Eunuch Chang, who held it in both hands and came before the emperor, "Your Majesty, look..."

Before it was handed to him, the emperor's eyes were already filled with surprise, and he could hardly sit still.

To be cautious, he took it and looked at it carefully.

The jade pendant was so eye-catching that Xiao Chenze, who was standing nearby, could see it clearly.

The corners of Xiao Chenze's mouth curved up.

The emperor's mouth twitched as he looked at Shen Li and then at the jade pendant in his hand.

Just as he was about to say something, he became worried and looked down again. Only then did he suppress his laughter, coughed, and asked kindly, "Miss Shen, are you sure this is the engagement token your mother received when she arranged your marriage?"

"Yes, your Highness is certain."

"Okay, then... has your mother ever seen that... has she ever seen the other person?"

Shen Li raised her head, not understanding what the emperor meant by this question.

Unable to tell anything from the emperor's expression, she turned to look at her uncle.

She noticed that her uncle was winking at her.

This is because I am worried about her and want her to admit it quickly.

"Yes, of course I have. Mother and the other party both know each other."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"So, what about you? Have you ever met the other person?"

After asking this question, Shen Li felt that the emperor was a little nagging today.

"I have seen it too, and I am very satisfied."

She had to say she had seen him before, otherwise what would happen if the emperor said she was crazy and unreliable and didn't approve of her? Besides, she had to prove that he was good to her. Of course, you can only know the good of the other person if you have met him.
