After traveling day and night, the delegations from Dongyue and Xiyu finally arrived in Yongdu.

Emperor Yong had already issued an imperial decree, ordering people to work overnight to repair the two royal post stations in the eastern and western suburbs for distinguished guests to stay and rest.

Empress Helan Yi of the Western Regions possessed an exceptional temperament and carried the dignified bearing of a person in a high position.

Although she is nearly forty, she is well-maintained and possesses a beautiful and noble appearance.

The beautiful young girl beside the Empress was Princess Helanya.

She was tall and slender, wearing an exotic crimson gauze dress, with a graceful waist and snow-white skin.

She was extremely beautiful, with a dazzling charm and a unique exotic flair.

Especially those eyes, they were absolutely captivating.

Shen Fu was also among the attendees.

Several days have passed since she last fainted.

After she woke up, everything was back to normal.

She already knew that her health had not improved and that she didn't know when it would "relapse" again.

But she never considered giving up the child in her womb, believing that there's always a way out.

Heaven wouldn't be so cruel; it will surely find a solution.

Yun Dai, dressed as a maid, stood behind her.

Why did she appear today?

One reason was to take care of Shen Fu's health, and another important reason was naturally...

Let's see the true face of our future rival!

"Is this the princess from the Western Regions? She's quite beautiful. Looks like someone's lucky with women."

Shen Fu sniffed and asked in confusion, "Why does it smell so strange?"

"What does it taste like?"

Yun Dai immediately became alert. Could someone be using gas to poison her?

Wait, why can't she smell anything?

"It tastes sour! It's like the smell of spilled old vinegar."

"..."

No way, has her nose stopped working?

Yun Dai was immediately alarmed, as her sense of smell was an important part of her preparation of medicines and poisons.

If something really goes wrong, wouldn't she lose her reputation as a saintly doctor?

Only when she saw the smile in Shen Fu's eyes did she belatedly realize what was happening.

"You're making fun of me!"

"I'm just reminding someone that they're jealous but don't realize it."

"Who's jealous? Don't talk nonsense. How could I be jealous of that princess from the Western Regions?"

"Oh? Did I say who it was?"

"..."

This is what they call "protesting too much here!"

To hide her embarrassment, Yun Dai could only look up at the sky.

"Oh, the weather is so nice today."

Shen Fu couldn't help but remind her, "If you keep doing this, be careful that the Second Prince might really be snatched away by someone else."

Yun Dai remained defiant, "Then let him become the prince consort of the Western Regions. Anyway, I've already taken the account books, and they're not being returned!"

She wanted to say something more, but was interrupted.

"Look, the envoys from Dongyue have arrived too. Isn't that the Crown Prince of Dongyue leading the way? He certainly has an extraordinary air about him."

Shen Fu turned her head and saw that the other person had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a face as handsome as jade, and an extraordinary temperament.

Holding a folding fan, the smooth ribs gently rest in the palm of your hand.

A faint smile always lingered at the corners of his lips, seemingly gentle and warm, yet a hint of composure lurked in his eyes and demeanor.

He is none other than Chu Lingyu, the Crown Prince of Dongyue!

At that moment, the other person suddenly turned around.

The moment their eyes met, Shen Fu felt a strange sensation, as if there was a sense of familiarity about them.

She had never met this Crown Prince of Dongyue before, so why did she have this feeling?

Xiao Xuanjin stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, you have come from afar and must be tired from your journey. Please rest at the post station for a while. His Majesty will host a welcoming banquet at the palace at 5 PM to welcome you all."

Chu Lingyu chuckled, "I have long heard of the Great Yong War God, but seeing is believing. Today I truly understand what it means to be a hero of unparalleled stature and towering spirit. The Emperor sent the Xuan King to welcome you, which shows how much he values ​​my Eastern Yue."

After saying that, he couldn't help but look at the woman beside him.

"Could this be the Princess Consort of Xuan?"

The man had just noticed that the Crown Prince of Dongyue was staring intently at Shen Fu, and a sense of crisis immediately welled up in his heart.

He put his arm around Shen Fu's shoulder and gently pulled her into his embrace, as if declaring his ownership.

"It is indeed my wife."

Shen Fu was also somewhat surprised.

With so many people here, why would he specifically mention himself?

And that familiar feeling from just now...

Just as a thought crossed my mind, I heard the other person say, "For some reason, when I first met Princess Xuan, I had a feeling that we had met before."

Upon hearing this, Yun Dai almost burst out laughing.

Isn't this exactly what they say in storybooks, where a man falls in love with a woman at first sight and tries to flirt with her in this way?

She tugged at Shen Fu's sleeve and whispered, "Looks like you're about to have another suitor."

Shen Fu could only glare at her and say, "Don't talk nonsense!"

She's already a married woman, how could this be?

Yun Dai didn't care. So what?

Don't forget about the eldest prince of the Northern Dynasty. He rejected all the noble ladies at the concubine selection banquet and only wanted her, a "married woman"!

What does this prove? It means she has boundless charm!

Their actions were observed by the man beside them, whose gaze grew even more somber.

"His Highness the Crown Prince seems quite interested in my Queen?"

Chu Lingyu sensed the hostility in the man's tone and immediately understood what was going on.

But he didn't explain; instead, he just smiled slightly.

"So what if it is?"

The man was surprised that he dared to admit it so easily; wasn't that a bit too disrespectful of him?

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and an invisible gunpowder smell began to permeate the air.

Yun Dai excitedly grabbed Shen Fu's sleeve.

She said coming out today was the right decision, there's more gossip to come!

Even Murong Xiao was just bluffing in front of the God of War of Dayong. Once he got serious, he had no choice but to back down.

This Crown Prince of Dongyue actually dared to confront the God of War of Dayong head-on; he's incredibly brave!

Although Shen Fu didn't understand why Chu Lingyu would say those words, her intuition told her that the other party meant no harm.

Moreover, she had the same thought in her mind.

"What a coincidence! The moment I saw Your Highness, I felt an instant connection. We are both wanderers in this world, why should we need to have known each other before? This must be fate!"

Yun Dai was stunned!

Good grief, there's something even more impressive coming up.

How dare she flirt with another man in front of her husband? Is this what they mean by "a red apricot branch about to climb over the wall"?

She could almost feel the raging anger surging in someone's eyes, almost like a wildfire.

The two of them hit it off immediately and reached a consensus, but couldn't they consider the feelings of others at all?

Shen Fu finally realized the tense atmosphere around her and took the man's arm.

"Since we are so fortunate, Your Highness, please visit the Xuanwang Mansion as a guest another day. My wife and I will certainly treat you well."

With just one sentence, the man's surging anger was completely extinguished.

Not only that, but a slight smile also appeared on the corners of her lips.

"That's how it should be!"

Yun Dai's heart was pounding wildly, it was truly astonishing.

Such skills in controlling one's husband are truly not something that ordinary people can learn.
