Upon receiving the news, Emperor Jingyuan went to Empress Lin's Kunning Palace to wait with her for their reunion with their beloved son.
"The Crown Prince has arrived!"
Accompanied by a shrill voice, Crown Prince Yan Beichen strode into Kunning Palace.
"Your subject greets Your Majesty and Your Majesty."
"Chen'er, get up quickly. You've just woken up, so you need to take good care of yourself."
Yan Beichen noticed that Empress Lin had started to grow gray hairs at her temples and couldn't help but say...
"Mother, I'm sorry to have troubled you!"
"It's good that my son is awake, it's good that you are awake!"
The mother and son had a deep bond. After exchanging a few more words, Crown Prince Yan Beichen straightened up and knelt down in front of Emperor Jingyuan.
"Father, please annul my engagement to Miss Shen of the Marquis's family. The entire capital knows that Miss Shen is in love with my second brother and is also his fiancée. How can I marry Miss Shen? What will the court officials and the people of the Great Yan Dynasty think of me?!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingyuan and Empress Lin immediately shook their heads and waved their hands.
"Chen'er, this is absolutely unacceptable!"
Yan Beichen frowned deeply.
"Father!"
"Chen'er, Miss Shen is the Crown Princess destined by heaven. She and you are a match made in heaven. In the future, she will grant you a lifetime of love and companionship. You must get along well with the Crown Princess. She is a very good person. Your mother and I like her very much."
He looked at his eldest son and then said,
"All the officials in the court also like Miss Shen very much. It's only because your father is the ruler of the Great Yan that you have a chance!"
Yan Beichen: ...
He had met Shen Mingzhu before; she was a girl with crude knowledge and unrestrained behavior, not at all like a noble lady from the capital.
Well...
He suddenly felt a little worried.
Is he, at such a young age, supposed to bear all of this?
Before he could finish his thought, Empress Lin, seated at the head of the table, spoke with a smile.
"Chen'er, you're awake now. Today, your mother will have the Imperial Observatory choose an auspicious day to settle things between you and Miss Shen. Don't worry, you'll definitely thank your mother later."
After speaking, she exchanged a glance with Emperor Jingyuan and gave a mysterious smile.
At this moment, the Crown Princess Shen Mingzhu, who was mentioned, took out her pet cat, Da Miao, after waking up.
Pet Big Meow: A large tiger with the bloodline of a white tiger, resembling a small white cat, with a light pink tinge at the ends of its fur, making it very beautiful. It is one of the most beloved spirit pets among the fairies of the celestial realm.
Skill 1: Fireball Breath. Whoever makes it angry, it will unleash a barrage of fireballs!
2. Rule over all beasts. As the descendant of the king of beasts, anyone who dares to disobey will be devoured! Wahaha!
3. It can change size, be as still as a pet or as fierce as a tiger, travel a thousand miles a day, and be the only one who reigns supreme!
4. I, Big Meow, am the most beautiful pet in the world, and I will not accept any rebuttal from anyone or any beast!
Shen Mingzhu was very satisfied with the introduction.
[Guagua, is the pet I bought so wonderful? It's so powerful, it will only listens to me, right?]
[Host, you can form a contract with "Big Meow" by biting your finger.]
Following Guagua's instructions, Shen Mingzhu bit her finger, squeezed out a drop of blood, and placed it on Da Miao's forehead. Soon, a golden light flashed, and a connection was established between Shen Mingzhu and "Da Miao" in their minds.
Because Da Miao is beautiful, Shen Mingzhu discussed with her and named her Shen Piao Liang (meaning "Beautiful Shen"), with the nickname Da Miao, so that she could enjoy the same treatment as Shen Mingzhu.
Shen Mingzhu even assigned four maids to serve it, and it was called "Master Cat". The maid who served it personally was Lian Qiao, who was also her former personal maid. She was a very steady person.
Hehe~~~ Let's just make do with it.
"You should meow. You're my precious pet now, the master cat of the Marquis's mansion."
Maids: Humans are inferior to cats!
Seeing that it was lunchtime, Shen Mingzhu happily carried her cat to the dining room.
Seeing Shen Qinghong and Shen Qingbo who were already waiting there, Shen Mingzhu greeted them.
"Big brother, fourth brother."
Looking at the kitten in Shen Mingzhu's arms, Shen Qingbo smiled happily.
"Mingzhu has a pet? It's so cute! You can even see a faint pink tinge in its fur. It's the first time I've ever seen one. It's so beautiful!"
Shen Mingzhu, having had a good night's sleep, was in a good mood and replied with a smile.
"Yes, our furball is the prettiest!"
"By the way, eldest brother and fourth brother, Xueqiu's real name is Shen Piaoliang. From now on, her treatment in the mansion will be the same as mine. It just so happens that Shen Jiaojiao is getting married in a couple of days, so her allowance can be given to Shen Piaoliang from now on!"
Is the cat really that amazing?
Looking at the cat lying lazily in Shen Mingzhu's arms, the two looked at it again and again, but still couldn't figure out what was going on.
In short, if my sister says it's amazing, then it's amazing.
They don't want to provoke their younger sister any further.
Shen Qinghong watched Shen Mingzhu playing with the cat and asked curiously,
"Little sister, what are Big Meow's skills? Can you tell us?"
"Does being able to breathe fire count?"
Before Shen Qinghong could speak, Shen Qingbo spoke up first.
"Fine! Little sister, try making it spray one!"
Shen Mingzhu: ...
"Big Meow, how about you breathe a small fireball?"
Big Cat glanced at Shen Qingbo, and for some reason, it could see a hint of disdain in Shen Qingbo's eyes!
"Roar!"
A small fireball was instantly spat out from Big Meow's mouth, and then a chair not far from Shen Mingzhu caught fire.
"Oh no! Fire!"
As a result, Shen Qinghong poured a pot of tea down the fire, but it didn't extinguish the flames at all; instead, it made the fire even more intense!
"Little sister, little sister, hurry and put out the fire!"
Shen Mingzhu patted Da Miao's little belly.
"My dear! Quickly put it away. This is our own home. If it gets burned, we'll have to spend money to buy new ones. We can't waste it!"
"Roar!"
The fire was slowly extinguished.
"From now on, you have to say 'meow meow meow'! Okay? You're a cute little kitten."
What do you mean by "you are a little kitten"?
"Mingzhu, is that a tiger?"
Shen Qinghong asked tentatively.
"Big brother, it's a big cat! A white big cat at that, it loves to look pretty. Next time you see it, call it 'Pretty Chen,' it'll be in a better mood. It's so well-behaved!"
Shen Qinghong: ...
Another "living ancestor" has come to our house!
He felt that ever since Shen Mingzhu was found and brought back, his status at home had been getting lower and lower.
Seeing that her parents hadn't arrived yet, Shen Mingzhu looked at Shaoyao.
"Peony, go and see why Mother hasn't come yet."
"Yes, Miss."
