Traveling through ancient times, the princess of the special forces became the group's favorite

Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi sat upright on the dragon throne, his brows slightly furrowed, and he was lost in deep thought.

At this moment, Zhang Yin, the Minister of Personnel, suddenly stood up and expressed his opposition.

Everyone knows that Zhang Yin is the confidant of Prime Minister Shenyang and has always been in cahoots with Shenyang. Naturally, he is speaking on Shenyang's side at this moment.

He bowed respectfully to Emperor Xuanyuan and spoke loudly, "Your Majesty, I believe this action is inappropriate! In my humble opinion, Prime Minister Shen's daughter, Shen Zhihua, is the most worthy candidate for the Crown Princess. Prime Minister Shen has devoted himself to the country and has been loyal to his duties for many years. His achievements are obvious to all. Moreover, his beloved daughter, Shen Zhihua, has already married into the Eastern Palace as the Crown Prince's concubine, and now has given birth to a daughter for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. With such merits, she should be promoted to the Crown Princess!"

As soon as Zhang Yin finished speaking, Zhao Yuanji, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, stood up and refuted him without showing any weakness.

He said seriously, "Master Zhang, what you said is wrong! Putting aside other things, just talking about the New Year's Eve palace banquet, if the Crown Prince's concubine hadn't gotten a bird from somewhere and disrupted the entire banquet, how could the Crown Prince have been confined by His Majesty?

From this, it can be seen that Shen Zhihua is not worthy of the title of Crown Princess. Moreover, she gave birth to a girl, not a boy. There is really no need to elevate her status just because of this!"

At this moment, Prime Minister Shen's people and the Queen's people were arguing fiercely. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in, arguing so fiercely that their faces were red.

Shen Li sat leisurely aside, accompanied by the handsome Yun Chenyu, and opposite her was her brother Hua Manlou. The three of them raised their glasses to celebrate from time to time, as if everything that happened in the hall had nothing to do with them.

Emperor Xuanyuan, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was distracted by the quarrels among the people below and felt as if his head was exploding.

He couldn't help but rub his brow with his hand, his face full of irritation, and said loudly: "This matter is my family affair, and there is no need for you to worry so much. As for which woman the Crown Prince should marry, I will make a decision after careful consideration."

Hearing the emperor's words, everyone responded in unison: "Yes."

As the emperor finished speaking, the song and dance performance that had been suspended began again.

The graceful dance moves and melodious music intertwined together, restoring the entire hall to its previous lively and cheerful atmosphere.

However, at this moment, the queen suddenly turned her head and whispered a few words to Sun Jingshu beside her.

Then, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. She then picked up the wine glass in front of her and said to Shen Li:

"Princess Chen, I've heard that you've been taking meticulous care of Prince Chen these past few days. Your contribution is truly invaluable. I'd like to offer you a toast today."

Shen Li, who was leisurely eating melon seeds and enjoying the singing and dancing performance, was stunned when he suddenly heard the queen call his name.

You know, the Queen usually dislikes her the most. How come the sun rose from the west today?

No, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal!

Shen Li thought to herself, based on her understanding of the Queen, she knew she wouldn't be so polite to her for no reason. There must be some conspiracy hidden in it. Thinking of this, Shen Li couldn't help but be more vigilant.

Out of basic courtesy, Shen Li still stood up, smiled and bowed respectfully to the queen with graceful movements, and said slowly:

"Your Majesty, your words are too kind. As the consort of Prince Chen, it is my duty to take good care of Prince Chen. Your Majesty, there is really no need for you to offer this special toast."

At this moment, Sun Jingshu, who had been standing quietly beside the queen, was stunned for a moment, as if she had fallen into a big hole in an instant.

Her big eyes were now as big as copper bells. She stared at the woman standing below in disbelief, thinking to herself: Could it be... could it be that she is the legendary Princess Chen?

Isn’t this the kind and gentle princess who just saved his life?

What on earth was going on? Could it be that the person who just saved his life was Princess Chen? I never expected this, I never expected this!

If it weren't for Princess Chen's timely help, I would have died by now!

Not only that, after saving me, she also said a lot of words of comfort and encouragement, which made me rekindle my longing and expectation for a better life in the future.

Although Sun Jingshu was born in the remote Miao countryside, she still knew the simple truth of repaying kindness!

Sun Jingshu kept shaking her head, muttering to herself, "No... No... Absolutely not... I can't possibly harm my savior!"

Seeing Sun Jingshu standing there in a daze, still mumbling something, the Queen raised her eyes and glared at her fiercely, saying:

"Hurry up and send the drinks to Princess Chen!"

Looking back, the sinister look on the queen's face disappeared in an instant, and now a very gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face again.

"Princess Chen, this wine was specially sent as tribute from the Western Regions. It is extremely precious. Please try it quickly."

You know, at this palace banquet, the wine and drinks consumed by the emperor and the empress were very different from those consumed by the ministers below.

Not only the wine and drinks, but even the exquisite snacks and delicious food were completely different from what the officials below enjoyed.

During this lively banquet, if something cheerful happened, the happy empress and emperor would generously give some rewards to their ministers.

At this moment, Sun Jingshu picked up the wine glass in front of her with trembling hands. The wine in the glass seemed to be as heavy as a thousand pounds, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Her body began to shake involuntarily.

Because she knew that she must not drink this wine, otherwise it would harm her savior.

Just as Sun Jingshu was walking forward like a zombie, she suddenly felt her feet slip, her whole body lost balance in an instant, and fell straight to the ground.

With a "bang", the cup in her hand fell to the ground, and the wine in the cup splashed everywhere, forming wet stains.

The cup rolled down the steps, making a series of crisp and pleasant tinkling sounds.

"What a useless waste!" Upon seeing this, the queen's expression suddenly changed. Her gentle smile disappeared, replaced by a cold face as she shouted angrily.

At this moment, Shen Li seemed to suddenly understand something and quickly said:

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Please do not reward me. It is my duty to take good care of His Royal Highness Prince Chen. I dare not expect any other reward."

At this moment, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne above frowned and felt very annoyed.

This series of farces really gave him a headache.

He stood up, waved his hand and said, "I am a little tired, so I will go back to rest. My dear ministers, please continue to enjoy your drinks here."

After saying this, he turned and left surrounded by his attendants.
