Chapter 2651 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone

Two women fighting for one man, this is quite explosive no matter when.

From the emperor and the crown prince to the ministers and palace maids, everyone tried their best to pretend to be calm, but in fact their eyes were shining.

However, seeing that the Princess of the Feather Clan obviously disliked Shi Li, everyone felt a little angry in their hearts.

No matter what, Shi Li is still their compatriot, just a barbarian princess. Why should they look down on her?

If any other noble lady had her shortcomings exposed in public, she would be so embarrassed that she couldn't control herself. However, Shi Li acted quite calmly and just nodded in response to the gaze of the Feather Clan Princess.

No more explanation will be given.

Whether you are worthy or not is not something that others need to say.

"He is a man going to the battlefield, what gives you the right to..." The princess of the Feather Clan obviously had a natural sense of superiority. She raised her slender swan neck and started to lecture Shi Li.

She was interrupted just as she opened her mouth. Lu Shenyuan's face had already turned cold when she mentioned Shi Li just now, which had overwhelmed her joy that Shi Li stood up for him, and she stood directly in front of Shi Li.

He didn't even look at the Feather Princess, but just saluted the emperor with both hands.

"Your Majesty, Miss Shi and I have already been engaged, and we have made a promise to be together for the rest of our lives. A gentleman's promise is more important than his life. Please fulfill it, Your Majesty!"

The emperor looked at Lu Shenyuan with increasing satisfaction, his smile deepening. He immediately ignored the Feather Princess and clapped his hands, saying, "Well said, a gentleman's promise is more important than a thousand pounds. I support your marriage with Miss Shi!"

The final word is mine, and I’m serious about it.

The princess of the Feather Clan lowered her head in frustration, but still looked at Shi Li unwillingly. Lu Shenyuan noticed it and blocked her view tightly.

"The princess' marriage will be discussed later. There are many talented young men in the capital, and they will definitely help the princess find her ideal husband."

The emperor couldn't let them stand in the middle of the hall forever, so after saying this closing statement, he asked them to leave.

Lu Shenyuan walked naturally behind Shi Li and pushed her wheelchair, not caring at all about the overt or covert stares from the people around him. Instead, his heart was soft and warm, and he had countless things to say, but he also knew that now was not a good time to speak.

The vast majority of people in the hall were happy to see this marriage.

Shi Li was of noble status, but she would have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of her life, so she was not a good candidate for marriage among the wealthy families in Beijing.

Although Lu Shenyuan is young and promising, he is destined to go far away from the capital to a remote place like the northwest. Anyone who loves their daughter will not like him.

So no one thinks it's wrong for the two of them to get together.

Except for a very few people.

The saddest person among them was Prime Minister Shi.

The moment Shi Li opened his mouth just now, Prime Minister Shi's face became very sad.

After all, he had been an official for many years, and he always had a clear view of things. Although Shi Li rejected Lu Shenyuan last time, he had already seen through his daughter's thoughts.

The reason for rejecting Lu Shenyuan was simply because his reason for proposing was wrong.

Now that someone came to snatch it, Shi Li was forced to speak first.

Hey……

Prime Minister Shi watched everything that happened silently.

When the Princess of the Feather Tribe said those words of disdain, Prime Minister Shi had already sentenced her to death in his heart. However, his daughter was so generous and calm, and as a father, he was still extremely proud.

Who says people in wheelchairs are inferior? His daughter is never inferior to anyone!

The other person whose face turned pale was Zhong Shanlang.

Even though he failed many times in his attempts to get close to Shi Li, he still believed confidently that he could become the son-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was just that the time had not yet come.

But today at this royal banquet, the emperor's words completely extinguished his delusions and blocked his path to success.

Moreover, he didn't know how to go back and explain to that person, since he had promised before that he could get in touch with the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Zhong Shanlang sat in the corner, his face as pale as paper, but he was like a nobody here and no one cared about him.

The banquet ended hastily, and Shi Li followed Prime Minister Shi out of the palace.

Halfway through the journey, Lu Shenyuan caught up from behind.

Prime Minister Shi looked at him, then looked at Shi Li, and finally shook his head.

"Forget it. I'll go to the carriage first. You can say whatever you want to say." The old father accepted his fate with great sadness.

As he walked, he comforted himself: Forget it, this son-in-law is still acceptable, and he is better than other ugly ones.

There were not many palace servants coming and going on this road. Lu Shenyuan walked behind Shi Li and continued to push her wheelchair forward.

I have a lot of things in my heart, but I don’t know how to say them.

"Don't you have any flowers to tell me? You're about to leave the palace?" Shi Li raised her head and looked at him helplessly.

Lu Shenyuan opened his mouth and finally squeezed out a sentence, "Why did you help me just now?"
