Chapter 1183: All The Careerists (13)

Shen Yu didn’t favor Duanmu Shu recently so she brought her imperial concubine to the banquet.

Shaoyao still wore a white dress. It formed a stark contrast with Huan Li who was sitting below in red.

Shen Yu looked at Ming Shu mysteriously before starting her speech.

Then, the ambassadors of Beiyue Country said their speech.

After the awkward speeches, they carried on with the procedure of the banquet.

“Prince Huan Li, you came from afar. Let me offer you a toast first.”

Huan Li got up and walked to the center. “Thank you, Your Majesty.”

The rest of the men looked at Huan Li. Huan Li’s actions were bold and arrogant. He was different from the shy men from Fengqi.

This was a man from Beiyue Country.

Just like how the women from Fenqi disliked the women from other countries, the men from other countries were disgusted by the men from Fengqi.

They felt that the man from Fengqi was useless. They had to be protected and ruled by women.

Huan Li didn’t show his emotions, but his eyes betrayed him.

Huan Li raised his cup and finished his drink.

Shen Yu put down her cup and cleared her throat. “Prince Huan Li is here to marry one of our princesses. Since that is the case… I will let you make your own decision. If you like our princess, I will fulfill your wish.”

Ming Shu narrowed her eyes.

Huan Li already said that he wanted Shen Yu. Shen Yu was doing this so that Shen Pin couldn’t reject the marriage.

Huan Li looked at Shen Pin. After a while, he bowed and said, “Please let me marry Princess Seven.”

Although the ministers heard the rumors that Huan Li liked Shen Pin, they were still shocked by the decision.

There were many powerful families at the scene. Even if Prince Huan Li didn’t like the daughters from these families, there was still the Prime Minister. Why did he choose Princess Seven…

“The Beiyue Country is different from us. It makes sense that Prince Huan Li likes Princess Seven.”

“Make sense…”

“They don’t like powerful women like us. Princess Seven is more suitable for them.”

People started discussing below.

Shen Pin looked at Ming Shu.

Ming Shu put down her cup and stood up. “Your Majesty.”

Shen Yu felt her heart jump. Even Shen Yu felt Shen Yu grabbing his hand tighter. Red marks started appearing on his hand.

Shaoyao didn’t say anything. He looked at Ming Shu with curiosity.

As compared to Shen Yu, he liked this lady more.

He liked her face as well as her aura.

Shen Yu said, “Prime Minister, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it later.”

“No.” Ming Shu walked to the center and stood beside Huan Li. “If I don’t say it now, Your Majesty will finalize Princess Seven’s marriage.”

“Oh, what does her wedding have to do with you?” Did Shen Pin buy Jing Se over to his side?

That useless Elder Feng. She didn’t find out anything.

Huan Li looked at Ming Shu too.

“Of course…” Ming Shu said, “Princess Seven can’t marry Prince Huan Li.”

Huan Li flicked his sleeve and turned his body slightly. He looked at Ming Shu, “Prime Minister, what right do you have to object to my marriage?”

Ming Shu smiled. “I’m the pillar of the country.”

Shen Yu: “…”

Why did she say that Jing Ru was the pillar of the country before? Now, she was using this against her all the time.

“Pillar of the country?” Huan Li looked as though he heard a joke. “You are right to say this, but this is not a reason for you to reject my marriage, right? After all… the princess didn’t say anything.”

“I object to the marriage.” Shen Pin raised his hand.

Huan Li: “…”

Shen Yu glared at Shen Pin. “Prime Minister, the marriage affects the peace of the two countries. If you don’t give me a good reason, I will not listen to you.”

“Reason…” Ming Shu touched her neck. She looked at the other ministers. “What reason should I give…”

Everyone: “…”

Shen Yu: “…”

Huan Li: “…”

Huan Li was furious. “Your Majesty, even if you disagree with our marriage, you don’t have to do this.”

Shen Yu wanted to strangle Ming Shu.

“The prime minister is drunk. Someone bring her down!”

“Wait.” Ming Shu raised her hand. “I want to marry Princess Seven. Is that a good reason?”

The hall turned quiet.

Prime Minister… and Princess Seven… they are both females, right?

How can a woman marry a woman?

“I’m willing to marry her.”

Everyone was shocked.

“What’s happening? Princess Seven and the Prime Minister… how can it be…”

“This is against principals…”

“How dare you!” Shen Yu swept the wine glass on the floor with her sleeve. It fell onto the ground and shattered into pieces.

The ministers kneeled on the ground. No one dared to make a sound.

Fire exploded in Shen Yu’s eyes. “Prime Minister, do you know what you are saying?”

“Yes.”

“Why are you so bold then?”

“If I’m not bold enough, how can I marry Princess Seven?”

Shen Yu: “…”

Huan Li regained his senses. “Your Majesty, this is such a good show. Did you prepare it especially for me?”

Shen Yu’s expression turned gentle. “Prince Huan Li, I will give you an explanation for this.”

“If you don’t like our marriage, you can say it. The Beiyue would not force it on you.” Huan Li was indignant. “I’m the prince of Beiyue. I’m not here to be bullied by you all.”

“No…” Shen Yu hated Ming Shu. “Prime Minister, this joke is going overboard. Apologize to Prince Huan Li.”

“Apologize? No way!” How dare you try to snatch my little demon.

Ming Shu rolled up her sleeve. “Shall we have a fight? The person who wins will get to marry Princess Seven.”

Talking is ineffective.

We shall fight.

Huan Li: “…”

Shen Yu: “…”

Shen Yu winked at Elder Feng and tried to get her to salvage the situation.

However, Elder Feng didn’t receive her signal.

“Sure.”

Everyone was astounded again.

The man in red slowly replied, “Since Prime Minister offered me a challenge, I must accept it.”

Shen Yu: “…” No! This shouldn’t happen!

Shen Pin appeared calmer. He felt elated in his heart.

“Your Majesty can be the judge.” Huan Li bowed at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu: “…”

If there were two men in front of her, she could still accept this. However, the two contestants were a man and a woman.

Huan Li was serious. Shen Yu nodded her head after a while.

No matter what, this fight would definitely happen.

Everything could be settled with the fight.

Shen Yu was afraid. Was her decision wrong?

What is the relationship between Shen Pin and the prime minister!

What is going on between these two women!
