There are two girls in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion.

Miss Wen married the Prince of Qi as his concubine, but was killed by his concubine.

The second one is Wen Yue, one of the four most talented women in Yanjing City. The Queen naturally knows her.

Emperor Ren De half-closed his eyes, his gaze fell on Marquis Ning Yuan who was sitting there.

At this moment, Ningyuan Hou, who was sitting in his position, saw His Majesty looking at him and suddenly felt a little confused.

Emperor Rende asked, "Marquis Ningyuan, do you know whose purse this is?"

As soon as Emperor Ren De finished speaking, Marquis Ningyuan stood up from his seat, walked to the center of the hall, and immediately knelt down.

"Reply to Your Majesty, I don't know."

The emperor's expression was cold: "You really don't know?"

Ningyuan Hou trembled and said, "Your Majesty, I really don't know."

The emperor handed the purse to the eunuch, and the eunuch presented the purse to Marquis Ningyuan.

Looking at the mandarin duck purse in the eunuch's hand, Ning Yuanhou's hand trembled slightly, and he reached out to pick up the purse.

When he saw the two words on the purse clearly, his expression suddenly changed.

He turned his head and glared at Wen Yue fiercely.

Wen Yue's face turned pale and she grabbed her dress, at a loss.

How do you explain this?

Before he could react, he heard Emperor Ren De say, "This purse belongs to the daughter of Ningyuan Marquis's mansion. How come it has the name of the second daughter of the Shen family embroidered on it?"

As Emperor Ren De's voice fell, Wen Yue's body trembled all over. She immediately stood up, walked to the center of the hall at a loss, and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, this purse is a good one for your servant."

"But, a few days ago, I lost this purse at the Lantern Festival. I didn't expect it to appear here."

She glanced sideways at Shen Mi beside her.

"Your Majesty, Miss Shen and I had a dispute over the lanterns at the Lantern Festival. I'm afraid Miss Shen picked up the purse."

"I didn't expect that the second Miss Shen liked Prince Xin so much that she sent the purse she found to Prince Xin's mansion and even secretly got engaged to Prince Xin."

As soon as Wen Yue finished speaking, Shen Mi subconsciously turned her head to look at her.

Emperor Ren De asked, "Second Miss Shen, what's going on with this purse?"

"Since Prince Xin is in love with you, I would like to ask you, are you willing to marry into Prince Xin's mansion?"

Pingyang Hou, who was in the position, was very nervous, fearing that Shen Mi would really be married to Prince Xin.

Shen Mi looked calm, raised her eyes to look at Emperor Ren De who was sitting on the high throne and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to!"

Emperor Ren De chuckled and said, "Could it be that Miss Shen has someone she likes?"

Shen Mi knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I have never had a crush on anyone."

As soon as she finished speaking, Murong Che, who was sitting in the men's seat, raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes fell on her unscrupulously.

The moment he lowered his head, there was a deep coldness in his eyes.

He closed his eyes slightly and heard Shen Mi's voice again.

"This purse has never been seen by this servant, and I have never secretly agreed to marry Prince Xin."

"I did meet Fourth Miss Wen once during the Lantern Festival that day, but I did not pick up Fourth Miss Wen's purse."

"Besides, I don't know how to sew. The purse has my name embroidered on it, so it must have been embroidered by someone else."

"I think Fourth Miss Wen sent her purse to Prince Xin's mansion in the name of this minister, hoping to frame me."

"you……"

The corners of Wen Yue's lips twitched. She didn't expect Shen Mi to be so eloquent.

She looked at Emperor Ren De and immediately said, "Your Majesty, I will not do such a despicable thing."

"This purse is indeed mine, but it was lost a long time ago. Your Majesty, please understand!"

Emperor Ren De rubbed his brows and glanced at the people in the hall. Today was his birthday, and now there was such a commotion, he was a little unhappy.

But he didn't want Shen Mi to marry into Prince Xin's mansion.

Prince Xin has been harboring evil ambitions for many years.

Besides, the queen had mentioned to him a few days ago that she wanted to marry Shen Mi to the prince.

Thinking of this, Emperor Rende looked at Prince Xin and said with a smile: "Royal brother, I am afraid you have misunderstood me this time and have mistaken the person."

"Perhaps there is someone else who has secretly married my brother."

"This purse belongs to Fourth Miss Wen. It's a bit strange that Second Miss Shen's name is embroidered on it now."

Prince Xin turned his head and looked at Shen Mi, then lifted his robe and knelt down.

"Royal brother, even if this purse is not from Miss Shen Er, I have liked Miss Shen Er for a long time. Please grant us the marriage."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion in the hall.

Shen Mi looked at Prince Xin in disbelief, but saw that Prince Xin had a malicious smile on his face.

Prince Xin is over fifty years old, old and ugly. Is he really looking for young girls?

She immediately said, "Your Majesty, I have been regarded as the calamity star of the Shen family since I was born. My fate is mostly bad and less good. I am afraid that I will bring bad luck to Prince Xin."

"His Majesty."

At this moment, Marquis Pingyang also stood up from his chair and immediately bowed to Emperor Ren De who was sitting on the high seat.

"Your Majesty, Mi'er has had an unlucky fate since she was a child. If she were to marry into Prince Xin's mansion, it would probably harm His Royal Highness Prince Xin."

"Since Mi'er has not yet secretly married Prince Xin, why don't you ask how the purse got to Prince Xin's mansion?"

"In case Prince Xin makes a mistake."

The emperor sighed and his eyes fell on Wen Yue again. Wen Yue immediately shrank back in fear.

Then, that cold and cruel voice was heard.

"I am too lazy to pursue this matter, but it is ultimately Miss Wen's fault for not taking good care of the purse, which led to this farce."

"In that case, the banquet is over, Fourth Miss Wen will go down and receive the punishment!"

Wen Yue knelt on the ground and trembled. Just as she was about to speak, she met the cold gaze of Ning Yuanhou.

She could only admit defeat: "Yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Shen Shu was looking at Shen Mi and Pingyang Hou fiercely.

This purse was stolen by Bai Lu from Shen Mi's room, so how did it become Wen Yue's?

She couldn't understand why everything didn't go according to her own ideas.

From a high seat, Emperor Ren De's eyes fell on Shen Mi. Shen Mi's face was calm, not timid at all.

He looked at Prince Xin and forced a smile.

"Royal brother, I'm afraid this marriage will disappoint you."

"There are many noble ladies in Yanjing City. Besides Miss Shen, there must be someone who will satisfy you."

He sighed and said with a smile: "Miss Shen Er is extremely intelligent. The other day, the Queen discussed with me to marry her to Jing Er as the Crown Princess."

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, the hall suddenly became noisy.

Shen Mi was surprised and looked up in disbelief, then met the cold gaze of Emperor Ren De.

At this moment, Shen Shu couldn't believe what she heard.

Is Shen Mi going to be married to Crown Prince Murong Jing so soon?

So, her plan today completely failed?

Instead, she was granted marriage to the prince.

The sound of people whispering in the hall could be heard again.

Shen Mi pursed her lips tightly and looked at Emperor Ren De who was sitting on the high seat.

She said, "Your Majesty, I have no talent or virtue, and I am really unworthy of Your Highness the Crown Prince."
