The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Shen Shijing was anxiously preparing for the wedding and did not tell Jiang Xianyue.

However, half of the silver did indeed arrive. Jiang Xianyue counted it; it amounted to tens of thousands of taels.

Xu Qingfeng arrived with several fellow disciples. Seeing the prosperity of the capital, everyone was in high spirits and began preparing to open their shop.

"Junior sister, I've noticed someone lurking around this shop lately!"

The shop is called Tianxing Pavilion, a name given by Xu Qingfeng. After all, Jiang Xianyue can't come every day, so it's natural for her to ask Xu Qingfeng for help.

The shop hasn't even opened yet, but people have been busy coming and going these past few days, and the day of the palace banquet is getting closer and closer.

“Senior brother, once my marriage is settled, I will open my business. I feel that I no longer need to fear those people who are observing from the shadows, nor do I need to hide my strength.”

Previously, she had not gained Shen Shijing's trust, so she was hesitant in doing things, dared not prove her abilities to others, and always hid her strength.

Now that Jiang Xianyue's spiritual energy is no longer weak and is about to be bound to her mobile blood pack, she is even less afraid.

It would be good to make a name for oneself in the capital.

She's ready to get started.

"Marriage? Why are you in such a hurry, Junior Sister? Marriage is a major event. Have you thought it through?"

Xu Qingfeng, standing before me, was still just as anxious.

"Of course I've thought it through, and I've been waiting for it for a long time. Maybe it didn't start from this lifetime, but in any case, this time I've finally made the right choice."

Xu Qingfeng didn't understand those words at first.

Sigh.

"Master said that everything is due to fate and destiny, and it is Junior Sister's destiny. Junior Sister has something that needs to be dealt with down the mountain. If it is not handled properly, her life will be in danger. We came here to protect you and help you get through this tribulation."

"Why did my master say that? Why didn't he tell me when we went down the mountain?"

Jiang Xianyue asked in confusion.

"It was after my junior sister sent a telepathic message that my master specifically calculated it."

We weren't supposed to tell you, because I didn't want you to worry, junior sister, but I couldn't help myself when I saw you.

Jiang Xianyue understood that her decision had changed the original cause and effect; if she had hidden her strength, she probably wouldn't have been in danger.

Shen Qinglan and the Grand Preceptor tested her several times, and many suspicions fell on her. If her secret of hiding her strength were exposed, everything would be...

She is not afraid!

……

The palace banquet was exceptionally lively; at the last palace banquet, Jiang Xian Yue stole the show.

This time, Jiang Xianyue stole the show.

Jiang Xianyue has been back in the capital for some time now, and no one says she's a country bumpkin who can't see the world anymore.

The banquet began with singing and dancing.

After the Emperor had drunk several rounds of wine, he looked at Jiang Xianyue, who was sitting obediently in the corner.

"Miss Jiang, do you still remember what I said a few months ago? I asked you to choose one of my sons to marry."

The Grand Master said you were born with the destiny of a phoenix, and being chosen by someone of extraordinary significance.

Everyone looked at Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan frequently visited the Vice Minister's residence and took care of Jiang Xianyue. During this time, the other princes did try to compete for her, but Shen Qinglan's morale was as high as in his previous life, so much so that everyone felt they couldn't win and gave up.

"Your Majesty, must I make a choice?"

Jiang Xianyue spoke, causing an uproar throughout the room.

"What, Miss Jiang, do you feel that marrying my son is beneath you?"

Jiang Yu's face turned pale, and he quickly led his whole family to kneel down beside Jiang Xuan Yue.

"I have failed to properly educate my daughter."

At this moment, Jiang Xianyue remained unhurried.

"Whether the Emperor will grant the marriage to the person I have chosen, or offer any further advice."

"Since the Grand Preceptor has chosen me, and the Emperor trusts my judgment, this matter cannot be taken lightly."

"Of course!"

At this moment, Jiang Ruyan gently tugged at Jiang Xianyue's sleeve.

“Sister, the Second Prince is of excellent character and talent, and is the Emperor’s favorite prince. I know that you may have misunderstood something before, but the whole family hopes that you will make the right choice.”

Jiang Ruyan disregarded everything else and could only try to persuade Jiang Xianyue.

"I know it well."

Everyone held their breath, even though they already knew the answer in their hearts, and listened to what the chosen one had to say.

After Jiang Xian Yue makes her choice today, the Crown Prince will no longer be the Crown Prince.

Even if the emperor doesn't depose the crown prince, the crown prince is already at his last gasp.

Jiang Xianyue kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your trust."

Jiang Xianyue looked around and saw Shen Qinglan holding her head high.

Shen Qinglan watched carefully at every turn. Jiang Xianyue had the most contact with her, and in Shen Qinglan's opinion, Jiang Xianyue could not possibly have chosen anyone else.

"Your Majesty, I have taken a liking to His Highness the Crown Prince. I beg Your Majesty to grant my wish."

Jiang Xianyue knelt down again, her voice loud and clear, strong and resounding.

Shen Shijing, who was nearby, was still drinking and didn't even bother to stand up.

At the beginning of the incident, everyone was tense, but Shen Shijing seemed to be completely detached from everything.

It's like what's happening right in front of me, it has nothing to do with me.

But now all eyes are on him, and Shen Shijing, slightly tipsy, points to himself.

"solitary?"

He staggered to his feet, and many people's expressions changed.

“Miss Jiang is serious.”

"This is before the Emperor, a matter of great importance concerning marriage, so naturally we must take it seriously."

They chatted back and forth as if they were complete strangers, and even the Emperor couldn't find a single fault with them.

Then, Shen Shijing reached out and pulled Jiang Xianyue up.

"Father, since Miss Jiang is so kind, I am willing to accept. I beg you to appoint Miss Jiang as the Crown Princess."

Everyone was in an uproar again.

Perhaps, others have a different answer in their hearts.

Everyone in the capital knew that the Crown Prince was out of favor and had been ill for a long time.

This all happened far too suddenly.

"Miss Jiang!"

Shen Qinglan lost her composure.

"I know that something happened a few days ago that caused you to misunderstand, but you didn't need to go to such lengths. Marriage is a serious matter, and there's no room for presumption before the Emperor. You and I..."

Shen Qinglan still wanted to confuse the public.

Shen Qinglan visited Jiang Xianyue at the Vice Minister's residence many times, bringing expensive gifts. She and Jiang Xianyue were often seen going out together. If it weren't for today's events, almost everyone would assume that they were a couple.

now……

Shen Qinglan wanted to show her unrequited love and to demonstrate just how outrageous Jiang Xianyue was.

Proving that the two are in love might change the emperor's mind.

It's possible that the Emperor is biased towards himself.

"Jiang Xianyue, I ask you, between the Second Prince and the Crown Prince, who will you choose?"

"I hope you think carefully before you speak. You will not tolerate such disrespect before me. If you utter any nonsense, I will exterminate your entire family."

The Emperor's tone was authoritative, clearly indicating that he wanted Jiang Xianyue to repeat herself.

He didn't believe Jiang Xianyue's words and directly assumed that Jiang Xianyue and Shen Qinglan had a conflict.

Especially after Shen Qinglan made it clear.

All eyes turned to Jiang Xianyue, and the pressure finally fell on her.
