Traveling through famine years, peasant girls hold space in their hands to store food

The emperor looked much better today, and Empress Shuyuan's face was also full of joy.

"Please stand up, everyone. Today we are welcoming the third princess of Shangyu Kingdom."

As they were talking, the eunuch outside the palace shouted, "The third princess of Shangyu Kingdom has arrived."

"Prince Xiao, Princess Yan Xi is here."

Everyone in the hall looked outside and saw a woman in a purple pleated skirt and a veil of the same color walking gracefully towards the hall.

Prince Xiao, who was standing beside him, saw that his eyebrows were too cold. He looked at everyone in the hall with cold eyes, and then his gaze fell on Lu Qingqing beside Chu Haochen. He raised the corner of his lips and nodded slightly at her.

"Qing'er knows him?"

Lu Qingqing rolled her eyes and muttered indifferently, "Who knows that narcissistic person?"

There was a hint of coldness in Chu Haochen's eyes as he looked at the Prince Xiao with cold eyes.

At this time, Xiao Zihong was playing with the wine cup in his hand, with the corner of his lips slightly curled, but his eyes were always focused on the Second Princess Qi Xueer opposite him.

"Yu Yao pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty and His Majesty the Empress."

The third princess of Shangyu, Yu Yao, bowed gracefully, and the people behind her also followed suit.

The emperor at the top raised his lips, his eyes flashed with an intriguing light, and said in a dignified and polite voice: "Princess Three, please stand up."

The Queen looked at the few people with a gentle smile on her face at this time. Yu Yao had a charming look on her face and said with a smile that she was entrusted by her father to come to Yuan Dynasty to marry.

The Queen turned her head to look at the Emperor, and saw that he smiled knowingly, as if asking seriously: "Princess Three, among my sons who have reached adulthood, only three have not yet had a wife. I wonder which one you are interested in..."

Yu Yao curled the corners of her lips slightly and began to look at the princes on the left. After looking around, she turned to Lu Qingqing, glanced at Chu Haochen, and then smiled at Lu Qingqing provocatively.

Princess Changning frowned and glared at her. Is this the case with the princess of Shangyu Kingdom?

"Yu Yao often heard father mention the great Yuan Dynasty's god of war, General Chu, who was very brave. I wonder if the one in front of me is him?"

The emperor at the top heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then said with a smile, the person in front of him is the God of War of the Yuan Dynasty, and the person next to Prince Chen is Princess Chen.

"I am lucky to meet you today. I am very lucky. Princess Chen is also a wonderful person."

Yu Yao praised Chu Haochen and his wife in a gentle voice, but the two of them did not look very happy. Instead, they nodded slightly with a serious look on their faces.

Perhaps Yu Yao also felt bored, so she turned around and looked at the princes again. She stayed on Xiao Zimo for a moment, then smiled and turned to the emperor at the top and said quietly:

"Yu Yao should just follow the arrangement of His Majesty the Great Yuan Emperor. Whether or not he can marry Yu Yao, I hope that Shang Yu and the Great Yuan can live happily together for a hundred years in the future."

The emperor and the queen looked at each other. They didn't expect her to say that.

"In that case..." The emperor's eyes swept over the three princes, only to see Xiao Ziyi frowning and turning away, with Concubine Hu sitting beside him.

Xiao Zimo lowered his eyes and played with the celadon wine cup in his hand.

Finally, the emperor's gaze fell on Xiao Zihong, and he raised the corners of his lips and asked Yu Yao.

"This is the first time that the Third Princess has come to my Great Yuan. There are many young talents among my ministers. Princess can also choose a suitable consort. Is that possible?"

Yu Yao glanced at Xiao Zihong opposite her, then raised the corners of her lips, bowed with a smile, and responded obediently.

Xiao Zihong on the opposite side was stunned. He didn't expect his father to say that. All his expressions fell into Qi Xueer's eyes.

Seeing his slightly angry expression, Qi Xueer felt a pang of pain in her heart and a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

She didn't hear what the emperor and the three princesses said later. She was just immersed in her own world of sorrow. The child had not been found. She was really sad in her heart...

Seeing that something was wrong, the maid beside her leaned over and took the opportunity to pour tea to remind her, which helped Qi Xueer to come out of her sad mood.

Only then did Xiao Zihong look at Qi Xueer opposite him, and saw that her face was haggard, and there was a hint of loss in her eyes as she stared at him.

"Second Princess, I wonder how my little grandson is doing now? Bring him to the palace one day so I can see him."

Qi Xueer's face showed panic for a moment, then she stood up and stammered in response.

The maid behind her was also sweating for her master, and looked at her helpless master trembling as she sat down. She glanced at the Fourth Prince opposite her...

Xiao Zihong's hands under the table were clenched into fists, and even the jade ring on his thumb was cracked by him.

The Queen Mother was also trying to smooth things over. It was true that they had not seen the child since the Second Princess gave birth! She smiled and turned to greet Qi Xueer, saying that she must bring the child to the palace to see him one day.

Qi Xueer forced a smile from the corner of her lips with an embarrassed look on her face.

Under the table, she twisted the handkerchief with both hands, feeling nervous. She couldn't help but look at Xiao Zihong across from her, only to see him signaling to her with his eyes that it was okay...

Only then did Qi Xueer feel relieved.

Princess Changning has never liked the people of the Qi family. She glanced at Qi Xueer coldly at her behavior and then started chatting with her son and daughter-in-law beside her.

"Your Majesty, I heard that your country's Princess An Ning is not only beautiful, but also a rare talent. In the past, Master Yu spent the high price of ten merchant ships to listen to a song by Princess An Ning. I wonder if I have the honor to listen to it today?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows with a gleam in his eyes as he looked down at Lu Qingqing with a faint smile on his lips.

Lu Qingqing put down the teacup in her hand, turned her head to glance at Prince Xiao, and asked him with her red lips slightly opened.

"The prince just said, how much money does Master Yu have? How about you?"

Prince Xiao didn't understand what she meant for a moment and glanced at Xiao Zihong opposite him.

"Sir, you see that Grandpa Four is useless! This princess is asking you, where are you suffering from the fever as well?"

When Lu Qingqing finished speaking, many people in the hall laughed out loud, which made Prince Xiao's face turn pale. He stared at Lu Qingqing with gloomy eyes:

"The Princess of Anning is just as eloquent as the rumors say..."

Lu Qingqing raised the wine cup in front of her towards him nonchalantly, and said without blushing or beating her heart:

"I will take it as a compliment from you, Princess."

After he finished speaking, Chu Haochen glanced coldly at the Prince Xiao, then turned around and squeezed Lu Qingqing's hand with a faint smile.

Yan Xi, who was standing beside Prince Xiao, watched her brother being humiliated. She stood up unconvinced and said to Lu Qingqing provocatively:

"How about this princess compete with Princess An Ning? This will also allow this princess to see Princess An Ning's superb piano skills. Is that okay?"

Yan Xi had a delicate make-up on her face, her chin slightly raised, and she looked straight at her.
