The naughty and cowardly little crybaby sold himself out

Chapter 137 Fuso, is she your beloved girl?

In the carriage entering the palace.

Prince Qi sat on one side, and Fusang sat on the other side holding Chu Jian, her cloak still wrapped tightly around her.

"Prince, an ugly daughter-in-law will eventually have to meet her parents-in-law. You don't have to protect her so closely."

"Little uncle, she is timid and pregnant. You guys are so powerful that you've frightened her. Besides, I'm not ready to let her show up now."

"The child is already four years old, how long are you going to wait? Fusang, you are the crown prince. Although you cannot give her the status of a principal wife due to her family background, it is not a problem to take her in as a concubine and then give her a title of concubine or consort in the future. You can't let her follow you without any status or position."

Her origin? Chujian's mind was spinning. They must have believed the story made up by Fuso that she was an orphan who was taken in.

She only told Yuechan about this. Fusang would not go out and make a fuss on her own, so it must have been Yuechan who made the fuss.

She couldn't help but slap herself in her heart. If she hadn't gone to Yaotai to find Fuso that day and hadn't had a conflict with that maid, all these troubles wouldn't have happened later!

Now it's okay. I used to think that Fuso was just a rich kid, and he was just pretending. I could just leave when the time comes, or let him dump her and kick her out. I could always find an excuse to say goodbye.

Now that he has such a high status and has been caught, she can't run away even if she wants to. They have confirmed that the baby in her belly is Fuso's child, and the royal bloodline cannot be left out in the world. How could they let her go!

Alas, Chu Jian sighed in his heart. From one royal family to another, he was putting himself in danger.

But the only good news is that her identity as Princess Zhan has not been revealed yet.

But... she frowned slightly again. Could it be that Fuso already knew who she was?

After all, he is the prince, how could he not find out about the affairs of Lingyin Kingdom? Moreover, she was rescued and brought back by them in Lingyin Kingdom.

If he knew her identity, why did he behave like this towards her? Was his affection fake? Was he trying to use her? To deal with Jing Muyang?

When she thought of this, she became scared again, feeling like she was surrounded by wolves on both sides.

She is just a little white rabbit, she doesn't know any martial arts, and she has no one around her. She either dances with the wolf or seeks the skin of the tiger.

The three of them had their own thoughts in their minds. Prince Qi stared at them without moving his eyes, as if he could find a hole and find out everything by staring at them.

Fuso ignored him and hugged Hatsumi tightly, occasionally lifting his hood a little to look at her, and fortunately, she had calmed down and at least stopped shaking;

Chu Jian nestled in Fusang's arms. Even though she resisted a lot, there was nothing she could do. She and Fusang were tied together. Right now, Fusang was the only way for her and her child to survive. As for whether she could leave smoothly in the future, that would only be discussed later.

The royal palace of Nanbang is not as majestic as that of Lingyin Kingdom. When I first saw it, I had passed by it from outside and saw the city wall. I never thought that I would enter it in this way.

Fuso held her in his arms as they walked slowly, and carried her up the long stairs when there were any.

Soon, they arrived at the Golden Palace. Although she didn't understand why a woman was brought to the Golden Palace, shouldn't they be taking her to the emperor's study?

The hall was full of ministers attending court. Chu Jian was protected by Fusang with a huge hood covering her head. No one could see her appearance, but everyone could clearly see her belly.

“Your son pays homage to His Majesty!” The Crown Prince saluted, and Chu Jian followed suit.

"No need to be so polite!" The emperor spoke in a gentle tone, sounding like someone who was easy to talk to.

"Miss Chu, I have heard about what happened between the prince and you. You have been wronged over the years." The emperor took the lead in speaking to comfort her.

"I am grateful for the prince's love, and I do not feel wronged." She replied softly when she first saw him.

"My dear girl, I have thought about this for several days. Fusang has refused marriage proposals many times since he was born. I guess it's because of you. He is my only son. If I can marry his beloved girl, no matter what your background is, I am willing to help him. So I have decided to appoint you as the Crown Princess. What do you think?"

She was stunned when she first saw him, and couldn't help but look up at the man on the throne. He had kind eyes and no majesty of a king. Instead, he smiled like a kind father, waiting for her consent.

Chu Jian turned to look at Fusang, and it was obvious that Fusang was also stunned. He probably didn't expect that the emperor would grant the marriage directly.

There was a commotion among His Highness and his ministers.

"Your Majesty, you can't do that. Since ancient times, the royal prince must marry a match made in heaven. Miss Chu has given birth to many children for the prince. I think it is enough for her to be a concubine." A minister stood up and spoke.

"What the Minister of Rites said makes sense. How can we just casually select the Crown Princess of Nanbang? It would be a laughing stock. Your Majesty, please think twice!" Another minister seconded the motion.

Many ministers agreed at once.

"Fusang, what about you? Is she your beloved girl? Do you want to give her the title of Crown Princess and make her the Queen of Nanbang in the future?"

"Father..."

"Your Majesty! I know that my status is humble. I only wish to be by the Crown Prince's side. I dare not dream of the position of Crown Princess." Chu Jian interrupted Fusang. She was so afraid that Fusang would agree.

"No problem, you can just dream about it, I'll support you!"

The emperor smiled and waved his hand, asking the eunuch to take out the imperial edict that he had written while waiting for them. It was mainly the imperial edict that Prince Qi had not seen yet. "Eunuch Li, read it out!"

Eunuch Li respectfully opened the imperial edict, stood in front of the imperial desk and read it out:

"It is God's destiny, the emperor decreed:

I have heard that there is a girl named Chuyang in Qingshui Town. She is outstanding in appearance, virtuous, gentle and kind. She has made great contributions to the treatment of the epidemic in the three towns of Qingshui. From now on, she will be named Princess Qingyang and given 100,000 taels of gold. Princess Qingyang and my son, the crown prince, Zhu Jin, have been childhood sweethearts. It can be said that they are made in heaven. In order to make the beauty of the beautiful woman, Princess Qingyang is betrothed to the crown prince as the crown princess. All the rituals will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. The wedding will be held on an auspicious day.

The announcement was made at home and abroad, and the envoys heard about it.

Admire this! "

The hall was suddenly in an uproar. I felt dizzy when I first saw her. How could she be granted marriage after just seeing each other and exchanging just one word?

She looked panicked and incredulous. The emperor was too hasty in choosing his daughter-in-law.

"Chu Yang, accept the order." The emperor urged her with a smile.

"No!" When Chu Jian was at a loss, Prince Qi stepped out from the side and said, "Brother, this woman's origins are unknown!"

"Why is her origin unknown? Isn't she just an orphan taken in by the shopkeeper? I can give her the status she deserves."

"Brother, as far as I know, the owner of the Qingshui Town Clinic has only taken in an orphan girl named Furong. Chuyang suddenly appeared a few months ago. Moreover, brother, she looks very much like someone."

When Chu Jian looked up at the emperor, Prince Qi, who was sitting below the emperor, naturally saw her appearance. At first he only felt that she looked familiar, but when he saw Chu Jian's horrified expression after hearing the imperial edict, he immediately remembered the portrait.

"Oh? Like who?"

"Like the princess of Lingyin Guozhan Wang Jingmuyang!"
