When the emperor arrived, the banquet officially began.

Even though many people had their own thoughts throughout the banquet, the atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious.

After the banquet went on for a while, Shen De suddenly opened his mouth and said, "Regarding the marriage proposed by the prince of Nangong a few days ago, I have already determined a good candidate. ”

's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet, and even made Shen Huanting, Shen Yuwei and Shen Qingli nervous.

Earlier, they had heard about the marriage with Nangong Yao, and the palace was full of the three princesses of the right age, and the final selection was made from among the three of them.

Shen Yuwei had long been in love with Situ Che, and she was unwilling to marry Nangong Yao.

And the person Shen Huanting has always liked is Shen Yiqing, of course, she is also unwilling to get married.

As for the second princess Shen Qingli, she was very happy.

Although it is very far away to marry Nanyue, she will be the princess of Nanyue at that time, and more importantly, the emperor of Nanyue has not yet been crowned a prince, and the person who is most likely to become the prince is this Nangong prince.

If she becomes the eldest princess, she will be the crown princess in the future, and she will eventually be the queen of Nanyue.

It's better than marrying the son of an official, right?

In addition to the nervousness of these three people, Situ Che, who was invited to the banquet, was also deeply nervous, and his hands on his legs were clenched unconsciously, and his eyes were fixed on Shen De, who was at the top.

At this moment, he could only pray secretly in his heart that the person chosen by the emperor must not be the third princess.

Under the gaze of everyone, either nervous or expectant, Shen De said with a smile: "Prince Nangong, I am really reluctant to marry this daughter to you, I have watched the daughter who grew up since childhood, and she is so far away to marry Nanyue Kingdom, how can I, who is a father, be reluctant?" ”

"Your Majesty rest assured, I will definitely treat the princess well, and I will never let the princess suffer the slightest grievance, and live up to Your Majesty's high expectations." Nangong Yao stood up and arched his hand.

Regardless of whether he said this from sincerity or superficial effort, at least he made a promise, and Shen De naturally would not embarrass him.

So, Shen De also stopped selling Guanzi, and said: "I have three daughters, and among these three daughters, the most well-behaved and sensible is the third princess Shen Yuwei. ”

When his words fell, Shen Yuwei and Situ Che froze at the same time, looking at Shen De in disbelief, and Shen Yuwei's eyes widened in shock.

How did you choose her?

Shen Yuwei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and subconsciously turned her head to look at Situ Che, looking at him with expectant eyes, hoping that he would have a way.

Situ Che was also very anxious, his eyes kept turning, thinking about what to do.

Others didn't notice the reaction of the two, and Nangong Yao didn't care.

He doesn't care which princess he marries, as long as he can marry a princess of the Eastern Wu Kingdom.

Therefore, when Shen De announced that Shen Yuwei would be promised to him, he immediately thanked him.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your love, I will definitely regard the third princess as the treasure in my hand, and I will never let down the third princess."

"Okay, remember your promise." Shen Dedao.

And at this moment, at the banquet, Situ Che suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Situ Che has something to say. ”

"What do you want to say, Situ Gongzi?" Shen De was a little confused by his sudden move, and frowned slightly unpleasantly.

Right now, he is talking to Nangong Yao about the marriage, what is he Situ Che coming to get involved in?

Situ Che is just a proton sent by the Western Chu State to the Eastern Wu Kingdom, and on this occasion, he can not invite Situ Che.

Being able to invite him to the banquet has already given him enough face, but he didn't expect him to be so uninteresting.

However, Situ Che didn't notice Shen De's displeasure, strode from his seat to the middle of the hall, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, there is a reluctant request from below." ”

Even though there was some displeasure in his heart, Shen De didn't show it, and said calmly: "Situ Gongzi, please speak." ”

Situ Che lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down directly, looked at Shen De with a firm gaze, and said pleadingly: "Your Majesty, I have long been in love with the third princess, I wanted to ask the emperor to marry us before, but I have never had the opportunity to see the emperor, until now, I can't continue to be silent." ”

Saying that, he ignored the surprise of others and continued: "I know that I shouldn't make such a request at this time, but I can't watch the third princess marry the prince of Nangong. ”

Immediately, he turned his head to look at Nangong Yao and said, "Prince Nangong, I didn't mean to prevent you from marrying Your Majesty, but please see if you can change your choice for the sake of me and the third princess?" ”

"This ......" Nangong Yao was a little embarrassed, obviously he didn't expect such a fuss.

He was clear about Situ Che's identity.

Since the prince of the Western Chu Kingdom has already spoken, of course he will not force it.

Although Situ Che is still working as a proton in the Eastern Wu Kingdom, he has already heard about it and learned that the Western Chu Kingdom intends to take this prince back.

Therefore, there is no need for him to get along with Situ Che at this time, it is better to be a favor and fulfill him.

So, he looked at Shen De and said, "Your Majesty, since Situ Gongzi and the Third Princess have long been in love, why can't Your Majesty fulfill them and achieve a good deed?" As for the matter of marrying your country, Your Majesty also has two princesses, and if you are lucky enough to marry one of them, it will be an honor in your lifetime. ”

Seeing that he had said so, Shen De couldn't give Shen Yuwei to Nangong Yao again.

His eyes fell on Situ Che's body, and Shen De asked in a deep voice, "Do you really want to marry the third princess?" ”

"Yes, please also ask the emperor to fulfill it." Situ Che said, kowtowing heavily.

"Can you call the shots?"

Situ Che was stunned, and then understood what he meant.

He's just a proton, and even his scope of activity is limited to the Imperial City, let alone anything else.

But he didn't want to give up Shen Yuwei just like that, she was the person he had identified, and she would never change.

So, he said firmly: "Your Majesty, since I have come forward to ask the emperor to fulfill it, I have made up my mind that only the third princess will not marry in this life." ”

Shen De did not respond immediately, but carefully observed his reaction, seeing that there was no hesitation in his expression, full of firmness, Shen De was sure that he was serious.

Glancing at Shen Yuwei, seeing that her gaze always fell on Situ Che's body, Shen De sighed a little helplessly, and secretly slandered himself, sure enough, it was a female lady who was not left.

Putting away the sourness in his heart, he raised his voice and said, "Okay, then I will fulfill you." But it's not enough for me to say yes, you should know what I mean. ”

Situ Che knew that what he said was about those people in the Western Chu Kingdom.

"Thank you to the emperor for your success, as for the rest, I will handle it well, and I will never wronged the third princess."

Since he has decided to marry Shen Yuwei, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, he will not back down!
