Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

"Now that His Majesty is here, and we are to let the princess choose her own husband, I wonder if the princess has a suitable candidate in mind?"

Qin Yu asked Xu Jiu a question here.

Xu Jiu stood up and turned his gaze to Cheng Qixia.

At this moment, Cheng Qixia felt a little flustered. As a prince of the opposite sex, it was already quite remarkable that he had won the favor of this princess. However, Cheng Qixia's only wish was to marry Qin Yu.

The officials around them were discussing who Xu Jiu would choose as her husband.

Shangguan Mufeng, on the other hand, was leisurely drinking his wine.

Although he appeared relaxed on the surface, he was actually quite worried inside, after all, what if Xu Jiu didn't choose him...

"If Your Highness has no one to choose from, then I will allow Your Highness to stay in the capital for a period of time. During this time, you can choose a husband here. If you still cannot find someone satisfactory, then I will allow Your Highness to return to your hometown."

The ministers were shocked upon hearing this, never expecting that Qin Yanling would allow this princess to return to her hometown.

At this moment, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Qin Yanling was puzzled when he suddenly heard the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review speak, and asked him, "I wonder why the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review suddenly stood up? Has something happened?"

"Your Majesty, my son is not yet married. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to meet my son?"

Some officials, however, were here to ponder the princess's appearance.

After all, Xu Jiu had always appeared in public with a veil since she arrived here, and had never taken it off.

Even if everyone in the world says that Xu Jiu has an exceptionally beautiful face, and they have never seen it with their own eyes, how can they make such a conclusion?

Suddenly a gentle breeze swept over her, and Xu Jiu's veil fell off her face.

Xu Jiu's face appeared before the world. There was a beauty mark at the corner of her eye. More importantly, her oval face was perfect. When Qin Yu and Xu Jiu stood together, they were equally matched, yet she seemed to be another Qin Yu.

After all, Xu Jiu gives people a very gentle and graceful feeling, while Qin Yu gives people a sharp, vicious feeling, like a femme fatale.

Shangguan Mufeng was pondering what kind of trouble the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review was planning to cause.

Xu Jiu glanced at Shangguan Mufeng, who lingered for a moment, before finally returning to his seat.

During that brief pause, Shangguan Mufeng was somewhat lost in thought as he got a clear look at Xu Jiu's face.

Qin Yanling was stunned by Xu Jiu's appearance, but fortunately, he came to his senses and realized that what people said was indeed quite reasonable.

"I wonder if the princess is here? If you have someone you admire, please tell me, and I will act as matchmaker for you."

"Marriage is a major event, so how can it be taken lightly? The two people should understand each other. If it is feasible, then they can get married. Just by looking at each other, can one know whether the two are suitable?"

Qin Yanling understood Xu Jiu's intention, and Qin Yudao was shocked by Xu Jiu's words. It seemed that Shangguan Mufeng's road to winning back his wife was long and arduous.

"In that case, I will allow the princess to stay in the capital for a period of time."

The people around were all stunned in that instant. They never expected that the emperor would allow Xu Jiu to live in the capital for a period of time. They all understood Xu Jiu's identity.

Shangguan Mufeng was pondering what Xu Jiu's intentions were in all of this. He looked up at Xu Jiu, but Xu Jiu completely ignored him.

After the banquet ended, Qin Yu called Xu Jiu aside. "I want to ask you, how could you be able to spend your life with Shangguan Mufeng, and yet now..."

"Your Highness, regarding this matter, you only feel that Young Master Shangguan and I have only met for a few days. It seems a bit too hasty to be discussing marriage after only a few days of meeting."

Qin Yu was surprised by Xu Jiu's words. She didn't expect Xu Jiu to have such an idea, but it was also feasible.

"What I want to tell you is that if anything happens, just come to me."

Perhaps it was because they saw a reflection of themselves in Xu Jiu that they chose to help her. Although Xu Jiu may seem innocent and naive, she is more shrewd than anyone else.

Upon learning that Qin Yu, whom Xu Jiu had accompanied, had left, Shangguan Mufeng arrived at the princess's residence and stood at its gate. Yuan Jie, seeing Shangguan Mufeng, was momentarily surprised.

At this moment, Xu Jiu was asking Qin Yu, "Did Your Highness truly have feelings for Young Master Shangguan in the past?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu did not answer Xu Jiu's question, but instead told Xu Jiu, "I only want to tell you one thing: you only need to understand that in Young Master Shangguan's heart, there is only you."

At this moment, Yuan Jie arrived at Qin Yu's location and informed Qin Yu that Shangguan Mufeng had arrived. Qin Yu naturally invited Shangguan Mufeng in, and the group sat facing each other.

The atmosphere around them suddenly became a little strange. Qin Yu turned her gaze to Shangguan Mufeng and asked if he was looking for Xu Jiu. Shangguan Mufeng nodded slightly.

Shangguan Mufeng, Qin Yu's former male concubine, is now...

At this moment, the ministers in the court were discussing the marriage of the princess from the neighboring country.

"However, recently, my messengers have informed me that it seems the princess of the neighboring country and Shangguan Mufeng are getting quite close. Shangguan Mufeng was once the princess's male favorite, so marrying a princess from a neighboring country would inevitably cause some problems..."

They were all talking at once.

"I think the princess of the neighboring country definitely doesn't think much of Shangguan Mufeng. Even though Shangguan Mufeng has become a military general now, it doesn't change the fact that he was Qin Yu's male favorite in the past, does it?"

Since he was the princess's lover, how could he have regained his wife?

Qin Yu was completely unaware of this. "Since Young Master Shangguan is here, why don't we sit down and chat?"

For some reason, Xu Jiu felt a little unhappy at that moment.

Xu Jiu focused her gaze on Shangguan Mufeng, but quickly looked away.
