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

"Zhihua! Hurry up and take off the bracelet and return it to your sister!"

Prime Minister Shen ordered in a cold voice.

"Father, you are the Prime Minister, why should you be afraid of them? Besides, the Crown Prince has promised to let me be the Crown Princess in the future. I think they should be afraid of us!"

"Shut up!" Prime Minister Shen was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped Shen Zhihua in the face.

This idiot who doesn't know how to talk.

"Father, you...you actually hit me?" Shen Zhihua covered her swollen face, tears welling up unconsciously, "You actually hit me for an adopted daughter?"

"Take it off quickly and return it to the princess!"

Shenyang roared again.

Shen Zhihua was startled.

Her father had never yelled at her like this before, and it seemed that he was really angry this time.

She reluctantly took the bracelet off her wrist and handed it to Shen Li.

"My little girl is ignorant. I will go and teach her a lesson right away." After saying this, Shen Yang dragged Shen Zhihua away in disgrace.

Shen Li looked at Yun Chenyu, the corners of his lips curled up: "What if she doesn't return it?"

"Didn't I just say that? Didn't A Li hear clearly?"

It wasn't that Shen Li didn't hear clearly.

She was just curious whether Yun Chenyu would really chop off Shen Zhihua's hand if she refused to return the bracelet.

Yun Chenyu took the bracelet from Shen Li's hand and gently put it on her wrist.

"I'll have my craftsmen make you a better one someday."

Not far away, the brother and sister from Japan watched the entire scene.

The woman frowned slightly and asked, "Brother, who is that woman?"

"That's Prince Chen's wife, Shen Li."

"Prince Chen's Concubine? Isn't it said that Prince Chen's Concubine is ugly and Prince Chen hates her?"

How come that woman is not ugly at all and has such a stunning appearance?

And, Prince Chen still protected her so much? He even put the bracelet on her with his own hands? Even the way he looked at her was so gentle.

"This, brother doesn't know either. I did hear before that Prince Chen doesn't like Princess Chen."

The graceful woman frowned, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.

"Let's go, the chrysanthemum viewing banquet is about to begin. Let's go in quickly."

......

Since it was the Double Ninth Festival, the Linde Hall was filled with chrysanthemums everywhere.

At this moment, the hall was filled with chrysanthemums, five hundred colors, red like fire, white like snow, and golden like gold shining brightly...

Some chrysanthemums look like small balls, with golden petals wrapped around the stamens; some look like graceful beauties, stretching their waists as if dancing. Each pot of flowers has its own unique beauty, and when put together, they form a colorful garden.

Everyone was talking and praising.

About half an incense stick of time later, the eunuch's unique voice was heard at the door of Linde Hall.

"The Emperor has arrived! The Empress has arrived!"

When everyone heard the announcement, they immediately knelt down to greet him.

"My dear ministers, please don't be so polite." The emperor's majestic voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Today is the Double Ninth Festival, my dears, enjoy the chrysanthemums to your heart's content."

At this time, those people in strange costumes bowed and paid homage.

"Prince Yin of Fusang pays his respects to His Majesty of Yunyan." Prince Yin bowed five times to the emperor.

"Princess Yingri of Fuso pays her respects to His Majesty of Yunyan." Princess Yingri also bowed five times to Emperor Xuanyuan.

Following behind them were three other people who also bowed and saluted.

"Welcome to the Prince and Princess of Fuso Kingdom from afar. No need for formalities." Emperor Xuanyuan raised his hand and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this is a gift my father asked us to bring. May the friendship between Yunyan and Fusang last forever."

The messenger behind presented a brocade box. When the lid was opened, a dazzling night pearl appeared in front of everyone.

"I will accept it and thank Fusang for the gift."

The emperor raised his hand and asked someone to accept the gift.

"Today is the Double Ninth Festival. Our Yunyan Kingdom has always had the custom of appreciating chrysanthemums on this day. The envoys from the Fusang Kingdom can enjoy the chrysanthemums to their heart's content and experience our Yunyan customs."

"Yes."

"Okay, then I declare the Double Ninth Festival Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet officially begins!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, cheers were heard in the hall.

The entire hall suddenly became lively.

Ministers and noble ladies were all chatting and laughing around the pots of chrysanthemums.

Shen Li pointed at a pot of chrysanthemums and said, "What kind is this? It's quite beautiful."

This pot of chrysanthemums is purple all over, even the stamens are dark purple. The petals spread out like curtains, one by one, and are extraordinarily gorgeous.

Yun Chenyu said, "Ali has good taste. This is called a ten-foot curtain. It was sent as tribute from Goryeo last year. It is very rare."

Shen Li nodded: "You know quite a lot."

Yun Chenyu's long eyelashes fluttered slightly: "Learn and apply now."

In order to be able to personally introduce chrysanthemum varieties to Shen Li, he secretly worked overtime to study at night.

Princess Yingri was overwhelmed with jealousy when she saw Yun Chenyu being so affectionate towards Shen Li.

Originally, Fuso did not need a princess like her to go on a diplomatic mission, but she heard people's descriptions of Yunyan's God of War Yun Chenyu from rumors, which aroused her curiosity and made her secretly fall in love.

Until she saw Yun Chenyu outside the palace just now, her heart was in turmoil, and she secretly made up her mind to marry Yun Chenyu.

However, seeing that Yun Chenyu and Shen Li seemed to have a good relationship, she found it difficult to intervene.

Suddenly, she had an idea.

She heard from the people that Shen Li had been spoiled by Prime Minister Shen, and that Shen Li was now a clueless fool. She was now bewitching Yun Chenyu only by relying on her beauty.

She could definitely compete with her and show Shen Li and Emperor Yun Yan that she had the qualifications to marry Yun Chenyu.

"His Majesty."

Princess Sakurahi spoke.

"Just admiring chrysanthemums is really boring. How about we have a painting competition?"

Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes darkened: "Painting?"

In the past, the Double Ninth Festival Chrysanthemum Banquet held by the palace never had a competition. Usually, the palace painters would paint on their own and present the finished paintings to him.

Now, Princess Sakurahi, as an envoy from Fuso, actually proposed a painting competition?

The queen beside her smiled.

She was just planning to use this Double Ninth Festival Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet to select a concubine for the Crown Prince, and Princess Yingri's suggestion touched her heart.

Through this competition, she can see which noble lady is both virtuous and talented enough to become the Crown Princess.

"Princess Yingri's suggestion is very good, Your Majesty, what do you think?"

At this moment, the noble ladies were very excited when they heard that they were going to have a painting competition.

They are all of marriageable age. If they can stand out from the crowd in painting and catch the eye of a prince, they will become imperial concubines in the future. It’s really exciting just thinking about it.

The emperor saw that the cheers from the audience were quite loud, so he nodded in agreement.

Shen Li continued to calmly admire the chrysanthemums. It had nothing to do with her anyway, and she would not participate in those boring competitions.

At this moment, Princess Yingri said again: "Your Majesty, I want to compete with Shen Li!"

At this time, the queen and other noble ladies were stunned.

what?

She only competed with Shen Li?
