Finally, Nian Yun Chen slowly walked from the last layer of the drum to stand before the empress dowager.
At that moment, the smoke began to disperse. Nian Yun was half-kneeling, holding out the flower basket in his hand to the empress dowager, his eyes beaming enchantingly.
"Esteemed Empress Dowager, I'm a small fairy by the side of the pond. When the Empress Dowager heard of the empress dowager's birthday, she ordered me to present her with peach buns and immortal medicine."
"Hahaha, good, good, good, good, a little fairy, good Wang Mu, what virtue and ability do you have to be able to obtain Wang Mu's favor? Yun Shen, today's program can be said to be my favorite birthday present for all these years!"
The empress dowager was truly excited as she personally came down to help the kneeling Nian Yun up.
His eyes squinted into slits as he laughed and held Yun Chen's hand. "Yun Sen, since you were a child, your intelligence has been a problem. I never thought that not only have you become beautiful, but you've also become smart. This Dowager is deeply gratified for your father!"
Nian Bing immediately bowed humbly and smiled. "Many thanks, empress dowager!"
"It'll be Yun Sen's third life's honor to have Esteemed Empress Dowager smile so often."
"Yo!" Look at your sweet mouth, hurry, let This Dowager see what that Immortality Peach of yours looks like. "
"Esteemed empress dowager, this Immortality Peach is actually a larger one as well. Yun Sen's true intentions are here!"
"Esteemed empress dowager, look, these are the immortal medicines Yun Chen told you about."
"Oh? Immortal medicine! What kind of medicine can be called immortal medicine, This Dowager would like to hear more about it. "
"These medicines are called the Flower Rain, Dragon's Tears, Grand Yi Immortal Ice, and Zhaotian Mirrorjade. I presume Esteemed Empress Dowager has heard of them before?"
"Oh my god!" It was actually such a godly medicine! To use it as an immortal medicine is not excessive at all! " the empress dowager shouted in delight.
The crowd below immediately erupted in excitement.
"Oh my god, these are all miraculous medicines that prolong life. It is said that not only is the production process complex, but the raw materials are also hard to come by, and the probability of failure is very high in the process of production. The person who refines these medicines also needs a high level of internal energy, so if he can get one of these pills, it would be amazing, but who would have thought that Nian Yun Chen could take out three bottles in one go!"
"What a huge sum of money, this is definitely a huge sum!"
"This is really the best show and present in the past years!"
Even the emperor clapped his hands and praised, "Yunshen, these medicine are what the empress needs the most. Where did you get them from?"
"Yun Chen found the medicinal ingredients and asked for them from Young Master Meng Xiaoran of the Phoenix Spirit Manor."
"Being able to invite Young Master Xiao Ran is also a skill." For the Emperor to say something like this showed how important Meng Xiao Ran was to the country of Yue.
The empress dowager suddenly thought of something and beamed. "This one is truly fortunate to have a granddaughter-in-law like you!"
"Huh?" Nian Yun Chen was stunned.
However, the empress dowager waved her hand towards Xiao Cangyun. "Cangyun, everyone says that women change at the age of eighteen. Quickly come and take a look at your future Crown Prince consort!"
Xiao Shiyun also had a confused expression. 'Royal Grandmother, can we not talk about this matter?'
At this moment, he was frustrated that he was going to break off the engagement with Nian Yun. Although Nian Yun's performance today had greatly broadened his horizons, in his heart, there was only Lady Jiu Mo. This point would not change!
"Royal Grandmother, I also have a very important matter to discuss with royal father and you today."
Xiao Shiyun had always been a very obedient and sensible person, so he rarely brought up any requests. Once in a while, he would make a request, which both the empress dowager and the emperor took seriously.
"Cangyun, what request do you have?"
He didn't know why, but he had always been able to be calm and collected when he was facing Whispering Cloud. But now, looking at the elegant and refined Whispering Cloud, he felt incomparably ashamed.
In the past, he had despised her because she was ugly, fat, and had some mental problems, but now that she was fine and didn't do anything, he had to cancel the engagement?
It was truly a bit heartless.
As he passed by Yun Yang, he lowered his head in guilt and whispered to him, "Yun Chen, I've let you down this time. I'll definitely make it up to you in the future."
Nian Yun Chen naturally knew what Xiao Bao Yun meant. At this moment, he was extremely excited! It was naturally good that Xiao Shiyun took the initiative to end the engagement, but she did not have to worry about that!
However, she couldn't reveal it yet, so she pretended to be astonished as she looked at Xiao Shiyun. "Yun Chen doesn't understand your highness's meaning."
However, Xiao Shiyun didn't continue his conversation with Nian Yun. Instead, he came before the empress dowager's emperor with a plop.
He knelt down without any warning!
"Aiya, my darling grandson, aiya, what are you doing? If you have something to say, then say it.
The emperor frowned as he asked, "Crown Prince, speak your mind. There are so many people here, what's wrong with you?!"
It wasn't just the people of the State of Yue, but also the envoys of other countries. The Emperor couldn't understand why Xiao Shiyun would say such things at such a time.
He even kneeled down on the spot, looking very serious.
As Xiao Shiyun fell to his knees, the surrounding envoys, including Wang Sun, all subconsciously looked over. They were also curious, just what did the Crown Prince want to say?
Xiao Shiyun gritted his teeth and hardened his heart as he said, "I would like to request royal father to cancel this marriage between me and Nian Yun Sen!"
"What!"
"What!"
Both the empress dowager and the emperor widened their eyes at the same time, as if they'd misheard the conversation. They almost fainted when they saw that the crown prince didn't want such a good girl? Was he blind?
As for the empress dowager, her mouth twitched as her eyebrows leapt up and she excitedly pointed at Xiao Shiyun. "You stinking brat, we have such good clouds, why don't you like us?"
"Pfft –" He tried his best to hold it in as he warned himself that he mustn't laugh at a time like this.
Earlier, almost no one in the State of Yue had looked favorably on her. Of course, even the empress dowager and the emperor had disliked her, but who would have thought that she would become the 'We Cloudy Deep' as the empress dowager spoke of today?
The emperor was also infuriated as he said, "Crown Prince, don't speak nonsense. Miss Nian is so sensible and obedient, what reason do you have for not wanting her?"
Xiao Bao Yun was sweating profusely as he looked at his mother.
The empress immediately took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, chenqie had always heard from my son that she didn't like Young Miss Niu and fell in love with another lady. That's why she wanted to cancel the engagement."
