Chapter 107 Granting Marriage to Pei Zhanzhou
Since Pei Zhanzhou is not worried about Shen Qiuyun being plotted against by the emperor, Jiang Wansang naturally won't care either.
With Shen Qiuyun's ability, if she could be so easily tricked by the emperor, she would not have done so many things for Su Huanyu in the book.
The fact was just as they expected. Shen Qiuyun did not fall into the emperor's trap at all, and even deliberately used the emperor's trap to trick him.
In the huge palace, only a few dim candles flickered, and the room was filled with incense, adding a hint of ambiguity to the atmosphere.
Shen Qiuyun stood in front of the incense burner, her body as soft as if she had no bones, gently shaking the teacup in her hand.
Her clothes were a bit loose, and her face was full of contempt and sarcasm, making her look like a fox spirit.
Shen Qiuyun stretched out her slender fingers, and gently lifted the lid of the incense burner with her exquisitely manicured nails. The smoke that was originally rising became thicker.
The next moment, the tea in his other hand was poured directly into the incense burner, extinguishing the burning incense.
After doing all this, Shen Qiuyun turned around and looked at a bright yellow figure lying on the ground not far away.
That person was the emperor who had left the banquet early.
Shen Qiuyun slowly walked over, picked up the kettle on the table, and slowly poured it towards the emperor's face.
She had a malicious smile on her face, as if she was not facing a high and mighty king, but a lowly person who could be toyed with by her at will.
The cold water was poured on his face, and the emperor, who was originally unconscious, immediately woke up. The water flowed into his mouth and nose, choking him and making him cough.
After coughing twice, the emperor reacted and immediately opened his mouth to call for help.
As the king of a country, he planned to set a trap for a woman and do that kind of thing, so naturally he had to send all the people around him away, but he would not send them too far away, after all, as the emperor needed someone to protect him.
As long as he calls out, the palace servants and secret guards in the dark will rush over immediately.
When the time comes, he will definitely teach this woman who dared to disrespect him a lesson!
The emperor just opened his mouth, but before he could utter a single word, Shen Qiuyun spoke first: "Your Majesty, please call someone. It would be best if you call all your concubines and officials. Let them see how a king of a country can make such a mess of himself by drugging a woman."
The emperor's voice suddenly stopped and his face looked very ugly.
After all, he had been the king of a country for so many years, so he quickly restrained his expression, wiped the water off his face, and propped himself up to sit by the window behind him.
He straightened his clothes and sat upright. If you ignore his wet appearance, he looked like a majestic emperor.
"The Third Princess may have misunderstood me. I didn't know she was here, so..."
"Hasn't the emperor heard of this princess's reputation in Beisheng Kingdom?" Shen Qiuyun had no intention of listening to his explanation and interrupted him directly.
The emperor didn't understand what she meant, and there was a hint of confusion in his slightly frowned expression.
Shen Qiuyun smiled sarcastically, "Everyone in the Northern Sheng Kingdom knows that my princess's mansion is a place of revelry every night. Sometimes, to make things more enjoyable, I also use a lot of things to liven up the atmosphere."
As she spoke, she turned her head and glanced at the incense burner that had just been extinguished. "If this thing kills me, how can I justify the nightly revelry in the Princess Mansion?"
The emperor was stunned, his expression a little distorted.
He really didn't expect that a woman, a princess at that, could say such... such shameless words!
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and the emperor also calmed down his emotions.
Since the things in the incense burner were useless to Shen Qiuyun, it proved that she had not been tricked from the beginning, and naturally knew that it was him who did it.
Originally, he planned to make it a fait accompli and take Shen Qiuyun into his harem.
A princess who was used as a pawn for marriage and had a bad reputation in Beisheng Kingdom. The emperor did not believe that she would do anything excessive after the success of the marriage, and she would definitely have to obey in the end.
At that time, he will not only be able to suppress Bei Sheng to some extent, but also gain the power behind Shen Qiuyun, killing two birds with one stone.
But he didn't expect that such a simple plan that could bring great benefits would fail because the medicine had no effect on the woman!
In this case, the emperor did not need to continue pretending and asked in a deep voice, "What are the Third Princess's plans?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiuyun didn't rush to state her conditions and demands. "Although I have a bad reputation in Beisheng Kingdom, I am at least a legitimate princess, and my brother has always been firmly seated on the throne of Crown Prince. If they knew that I was almost bullied in Nansu Kingdom, they would probably think that the emperor was provoking Beisheng."
As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor's originally restrained expression changed instantly, with a hint of coldness.
The national strength of South Su and North Sheng is comparable. If a war really breaks out, South Su may not lose.
But as the ruler of a country, he couldn't possibly be the culprit who started the war between the two countries, let alone for such a shameful reason...
The emperor's face was tense, and he exuded the majesty of an emperor. "Whatever the Third Princess wants, just tell me directly."
She didn't make a big deal out of it, but instead stood here and talked to me for a long time. What she wanted was definitely not as simple as "justice".
Shen Qiuyun seemed completely unaware that the person sitting before her was the emperor. She said, "Hasn't this princess already told His Majesty what she wants?"
She smiled brightly, "This princess has taken a fancy to Imperial Preceptor Pei and is willing to marry Nan Su on behalf of Bei Sheng. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
The emperor obviously did not expect that her request would be so simple. He was stunned for a moment and then fell into deep thought.
Although he cannot control Shen Qiuyun personally, Pei Zhanzhou is his man. If Shen Qiuyun really gets together with Pei Zhanzhou, it will not be a bad thing for him.
The emperor thought quickly and after only a moment's thought, he nodded and agreed. "Since Bei Sheng is willing to marry Nan Su, and the Third Princess has taken a fancy to the most capable man around me, I will naturally agree to it."
He stood up and straightened his clothes, looking righteous. "Today's incident nearly got me and the Third Princess into trouble. I will definitely find out who set this up and give the Third Princess an explanation."
Shen Qiuyun could tell that he wanted to write off what had just happened, so there was no reason for her to refuse. "Then I will wait patiently for the emperor's good news."
No one knows what happened in this palace, but no one knows how many wonderful things happened under the cover of this grand and lively birthday banquet.
Originally, no one knew the content of the conversation between Shen Qiuyun and the emperor, but Pei Zhanzhou had already placed people around the emperor.
Not long after he wrote the imperial edict granting the marriage, this matter reached Pei Zhanzhou's ears.
