Reborn Empress: The World Originally Belonged to Her

Inside the Governor's Palace.

"Father, why are you writing so many invitations here?"

Lan Yan couldn't help but ask here, she really couldn't understand why the governor had written so many invitations here.

"Father has made his decision. The date is set for the day after tomorrow. Father wants to see who can marry Father's precious daughter."

Lan Yan glanced at the governor. "There's something I haven't told you, Father. Actually, I already have someone I like, but I just don't know how to tell you."

When the governor heard this, he was a little surprised. When did his precious daughter fall in love with someone? How come he knew nothing about it?

"Why don't we just tell Father which young master he likes?"

"His name is Shangguan Mufeng, but I know that in Young Master Shangguan's heart, he doesn't have much of an impression of me, nor does he particularly like me, so..."

Shangguan Mufeng is the young master of Shangguan Nantian's family. This young master of Shangguan Nantian's family has his heart set on the princess of the neighboring country. This is clearly just a tragic fate. I never expected that my precious daughter would fall in love with Shangguan Mufeng.

"There are so many men in this world, why have you set your mind on him? Tell your father, when did you meet with Shangguan Mufeng and his companion?"

"Father, I don't know how to answer you about this matter, but I'm certain that my heart belongs only to Young Master Shangguan. Other people are not worthy of my attention, so please don't bother with these things here."

……

The governor was unsure of what to say, but he decided that for his daughter's happiness, he had to fight for it. So he went directly to the outside of Shangguan Nantian's residence.

The steward was slightly startled when he saw the governor, wondering if there was something wrong with his eyes, since the governor would never come to the Shangguan residence.

This person was truly a rare guest, but the butler still respectfully invited the governor inside.

Shangguan Nantian was enjoying tea in the courtyard. He had recently acquired some new tea leaves and was now brewing them while admiring the scenery.

Hearing footsteps, he turned around and was completely surprised to see the governor. Shangguan Nantian wondered if his eyes were right, why would the governor be here?

"What brings the governor here?"

To be honest, the governor was a rare guest, since they didn't usually have much interaction. But now the governor had come, and it seemed he had come prepared.

"I wonder if Lord Shangguan would be willing to have some tea and a chat with you?"

Shangguan Nantian naturally agreed, and the two of them drank tea and chatted there.

"Since the governor is here, let's get straight to the point."

The governor had never expected Shangguan Nantian to be so arrogant, letting him speak without hesitation.

The governor then mentioned that Lan Yan was in love with Shangguan Mufeng, but Shangguan Nantian was somewhat surprised when he learned of it.

Why does the name Lan Yan sound so familiar? Shangguan Nantian seems to have a slight recollection of it.

However, this memory dates back many years.

"I simply want to know the relationship between your son and the princess."

Shangguan Nantian also told the governor everything in detail.

The governor suggested to Shangguan Nantian that they arrange a marriage between the two families. Since there was no hope of getting a princess from the neighboring country, they might as well arrange a marriage between the two of them.

However, Shangguan Nantian informed the governor that everything depended on Shangguan Mufeng. If Shangguan Mufeng agreed, then the marriage could proceed naturally; if Shangguan Mufeng disagreed, then they naturally couldn't proceed.

"As far as I am concerned, I believe in voluntariness, and I will not force my children."

Because Shangguan Nantian already owed Shangguan Mufeng a debt, and didn't want to owe him any more in this regard, he only wished that Shangguan Mufeng could marry the person he wanted. At this moment, Shangguan Mufeng overheard their conversation.

He was a little surprised for a moment, but he did have a vague impression of Lan Yan and Shangguan Mufeng, whom the governor mentioned. But hadn't it been several years? He didn't expect that Lan Yan would still remember him.

One thing is that Lan Yan is actually the governor's daughter...

Shangguan Mufeng already had the princess of the neighboring country in his heart, so how could he marry someone else?

At this moment, Shangguan Mufeng had already arrived at the Governor's Mansion. From afar, he saw Lan Yan embroidering. In that instant, he felt that Lan Yan was like a princess from a neighboring country.

Why did Shangguan Mufeng feel that Lan Yan looked so similar to the princess of the neighboring country at this moment? At this moment, he couldn't help but move closer and found that the expressions of the two were indeed somewhat similar.

When he first met the princess of the neighboring country, he mistook her for Lan Yan, but later he discovered that the princess's personality was completely different from Lan Yan's...

In the princess's residence, Xu Jiu came and found Qin Yu.

"Sister Qin, I will go to His Majesty to request a decree tomorrow."

Xu Jiu's eyes held a hint of melancholy. Qin Yu was filled with mixed emotions upon seeing this. Qin Yu asked Xu Jiu if he regretted it, but to her surprise, Xu Jiu told Qin Yu that he did not regret it.

"Sister Qin, there's something else I forgot to tell you. For some reason, I always feel that Young Master Shangguan is actually looking at the shadow of another person in me."

"Is this mine? I look nothing like you."

Xu Jiu shook her head, indicating that it wasn't Qin Yu. As for who it really was, Xu Jiu didn't want to get to the bottom of it. She and Shangguan Mufeng were ultimately just a mistake.

"I believe that one day this girl will definitely appear. I am really grateful for the care she has given me during this time."

They thought Xu Jiu could stay here, but in the end they found that they couldn't keep her and she had to return to her own country.

Qin Yu went to the study and found a box. Inside the box was a bracelet with a lifelike phoenix carved on it.

"I give you this bracelet in the hope that you will meet your ideal husband in this life, and that you will not be bound by your status."

Xu Jiu took the bracelet and bowed to Qin Yu.

After that, Xu Jiu arrived at the palace.

Qin Yanling was utterly astonished at the arrival of Xu Jiu.

"Your Majesty, this trip is to bid farewell to Your Majesty."

"Practice it?" Qin Yanling asked Xu Jiu. "Don't you have a man you like?"
