delicious, not sweet

Not long after, Chu Yu led his daughter-in-law back to the center of the banquet.

The queen mother was right next to her, and Shu Yanyan cast a somewhat embarrassed look at her, only to find that the beautiful lady's face was flushed with excitement.

Shu Yanyan quickly withdrew her gaze, and her heart beat faster at the same time.

Why does it feel like the whole world knows what's going to happen next?

But she soon lost her attention to others, and after standing in the position she wanted, Chu Yu let go of her hand and put it directly on her shoulder.Leaning into Chu Yu's arms suddenly, Shu Yanyan was stunned for a moment, and after recovering, she could only blushed and quietly stayed by her side.

At this time, the banquet hall was already in a state where needles could be heard.

Chu Yu cleared his throat, looked at the audience, and said hello first: "Good evening, everyone."

The entire banquet hall seemed to be awakened by this sentence, and everyone in the audience spontaneously leaned towards the stage, and then the men took off their hats and bowed down, and the women raised their skirts and bowed their knees, returning salutes in their direction.

"Emperor, good night."

When everyone lowered their heads, Shu Yanyan dared to look up and look down.

It was this one glance that made her legs go weak - why are there so many people!And many of them were people she could only see on the news.

When she collected dessert information before, she deliberately avoided those big shots, but now seeing that they were all saluting respectfully, she felt even more flustered.Of course, what made her even more embarrassed was that she also saw many people who had greeted them a little while ago. On the east side of the banquet hall, the lady in the long black dress and the younger sister in the starry sky skirt were also secretly looking at this side during the salute.

When the eyes of the three met, Shu Yanyan waved at them awkwardly.

The next moment, after everyone finished their salutes, Shu Yanyan turned her head to the side and fixed her eyes on Chu Yu's face like a little hamster.In this way, she can ignore the eyes that fall on her.

Chu Yu lowered his head and smiled gently at her.

But the heroine in her eyes at this moment is not Shu Yanyan.

Chu Yu weighed Yun Miao, who was sitting on her arm, and continued to say to everyone: "I am very glad that you can come to this banquet today. Here, I would like to introduce my daughter, the eldest princess of the empire, to everyone. Chu Yunmiao."

As if a spoonful of clear oil fell into a hot pan, this sentence instantly blew up the audience.

Although everyone had a rough guess in their hearts when they saw Chu Yu's actions just now, but the shock of what they thought and hearing the person admit it with their own ears could not be compared.

But obviously, this shock was mixed with a lot of doubts, causing everyone to start discussing with their companions.

"What's going on? When did the emperor have such a big girl?"

"Is this...adopted?"

"No wonder the queen mother has such an attitude towards that little girl. My God, I can imagine what the news page of the empire will look like in the next month!"

"..."

"Cough." Chu Yu coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention and calming down the boiling water in the banquet hall.

She directly explained: "Yun Miao is my own daughter, she had it when I was missing and living abroad. Today is just a preview, and I will hold a formal press conference to announce it to the public in the future. But..."

She paused, her eyes sweeping across the room.

In the venue, there were still a few commotions, but they were frozen stiff as if they had been frozen.

Chu Yu was very satisfied, and continued: "However, I hope that the nobles can set an example and not spread any rumors indiscriminately. If there is any situation that is not conducive to the princess of the empire..."

She paused here and said nothing further.But the expressions of everyone in the stands, as if she didn't say anything, is no different from what she said, even more frightening than saying——

Unforeseen dangers are the most frightening.

The Duke who was closest to the stage bowed first and saluted, and said: "Follow the emperor's will and protect the eldest princess of the empire."

This sentence awakened the dreamer, and everyone in the audience came back to their senses, followed him and saluted together: "I will follow the emperor's will and protect the eldest princess of the empire."

Although Yun Miao is small, she doesn't know everything.

She clung to Chu Yu's ear and asked in a low voice: "So... I can tell others in the future that my mother is the emperor, right?"

Chu Yu smiled and kissed her on the cheek: "Yes.

"There's no need to hide it, Yun Miao's mother is Yun Miao's mother, and Yun Miao can tell whoever she wants."

Yun Miao was a little distressed: "I don't just say it casually..."

Chu Yu: "Huh?"

Yun Miao put her arms around her neck: "Mother belongs to Yun Miao, no... oh no, mother belongs to Yun Miao and Mommy, too many people know, mother might be snatched away."

Chu Yu smiled: "Mother can't run away.

"Only the mother is worried about you and your mommy being snatched away."

Yun Miao wrinkled her little nose and said nothing.

Chu Yu squatted down and put her on the ground: "Yun Miao, be good, wait a moment. Mother has something to say to your mommy."

Yun Miao nodded: "Okay."

She was very obedient, took the initiative to trot for two steps, returned to the Queen Mother, and stood on the legs of her own grandmother.

Now, only Shu Yanyan and Chu Yu were left on the stage.

It was as if the spotlights of the whole audience followed Chu Yu's eyes and stayed on Shu Yanyan. Everyone in the audience stared at her intently, and no one would mistake the protagonist.

Chu Yu gently held her finger.

Shu Yanyan's heart beat like a drum.

In fact, it was not quiet, there were rustling noises.After all, at this moment, everyone was curious about her identity.But to Shu Yanyan, these background sounds seemed very illusory.They seem to be not far from the ear, but they are separated thousands of miles away by some invisible and intangible barriers.

On this small stage, in the entire magnificent banquet hall, in the magnificent and huge palace, on this entire planet, and even the entire universe, it seemed that only she was left, and Chu Yu beside her.

Chu Yu smiled slightly, and looked at her sideways, with a slightly troubled look on his face.

She said: "This one..."

The audience waited for her answer, but she herself paused.

After several seconds passed, she seemed to barely think of an answer.

Chu Yu continued: "She is Yun Miao's other biological mother, someone I... like."

She coughed lightly, and her face also turned rosy: "To be precise, I'm pursuing her."

It was completely different from when she announced Yun Miao's identity just now, and there was a long silence in the audience.Even Shu Yanyan, while being shy when she heard these words, didn't know what to say for a while.

When Chu Yu introduced Yun Miao, he was very firm and immediately put a crown on the little girl—this is the eldest princess of the empire.

In the eyes of everyone in the banquet hall, the process when she introduced Shu Yanyan was probably the same——

"She is the Empress of the Empire."

Or "She is the future queen-to-be of the Empire."

Obviously, no matter which of the above sentences, the weight is more important than "I am pursuing her".

As smart as Chu Yu would know, but she didn't say that, she said: "I'm pursuing her."

Shu Yanyan was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, her nose felt a little sour.

The title "Queen" is too heavy.

From the time she refused to directly marry Chu Yu, Chu Yu knew that she was not ready to accept this identity.

On this occasion, Chu Yu not only showed her honorable status as Yun Miao's mother, but also did not give her a high hat directly. Instead, she infinitely lowered her posture and positioned her as the object of her pursuit.

You know, there's a big difference between the two...

Refusing to become the queen of the empire, one has to bear the pressure from the entire empire.

But if she is only Chu Yu's pursuit, then if she refuses, it is only Chu Yu who she refuses.

Chu Yu even considered this level for her.

Shu Yanyan covered her mouth with her other hand, too moved to speak.

She turned her head desperately, wanted to speak, wanted to respond to the brilliance in Chu Yu's eyes.

But before she could think of what to say, Chu Yu, who was holding her hand, suddenly knelt down on one knee.

"what--"

"God—"

"Emperor!!!"

The quiet audience in the audience couldn't help it, and let out various exclamations at the same time.

Shu Yanyan, who was right in front of Chu Yu, was undoubtedly the most shocked. Her eyes widened in surprise, and she stared blankly at him.

Chu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and began to express his feelings: "I know that Ms. Shu Yanyan may not be ready yet. I also know that Ms. Shu Yanyan needs more time to think about her future life. But when I know Under the circumstances of all these prerequisites, he still couldn't help but want to take Miss Shu Yanyan as his own as soon as possible.

"I have to admit that I am not a very considerate and perfect lover. I wish I had more patience and reason to resist the growing love and desire. But the more I suppress them, the more I feel These emotions filled the entire atrium, and it was difficult to breathe smoothly.

"So, Miss Shu Yanyan——

"Are you willing to accept such a despicable soul? She has many shortcomings, will make mistakes, and will make you angry, but she is honest enough for your love and devout enough for your desire."

Saying that, Chu Yu fled a small ring from his bosom.

Shu Yanyan was so excited that she couldn't speak at all.

Fortunately, Chu Yu didn't force her to answer with words.

She sent the ring to Shu Yanyan's right middle finger.

"Get engaged to me, will you?"

Shu Yanyan's tears fell first, and then she nodded heavily, and moved her fingers forward tremblingly.

Chu Yu held her hand and began to put on a ring for her.

At this time, Shu Yanyan clearly realized that the other party was also nervous.Because not only did Chu Yu's fingers tremble slightly, but the movement of wearing the ring was also a little funny.After wearing it three or four times, she finally slipped the small silver ring into her finger.

There was warm applause from the audience, and Chu Yu stood up again. When the two held hands, Shu Yanyan felt the slight moisture in her palm——

He was so nervous that he was sweating.

Realizing this and not knowing why, Shu Yanyan stopped crying and couldn't help laughing.

In the relationship between the two, Chu Yu is the one who takes the initiative most of the time.She never thought that the person who always bullied her would be nervous when she asked her to agree to get engaged.

Chu Yu naturally knew exactly what Shu Yanyan was laughing at.

Of course, she also wanted to hide her helplessness, and wanted to present the most perfect self in front of Shu Yanyan.

But all this is simply impossible.

Love fades reason, and in front of Shu Yanyan, she can only reveal her truest self.

But seeing the smile on Shu Yanyan's mouth, Chu Yu was slightly relieved.

"...It can make you smile, heck, it's worth the sweat."

Shu Yanyan lowered her head shyly.

As soon as she lowered her head, she saw the shiny ring on her hand, and the smile on her lips suddenly deepened.

She asked in a low voice: "Bottom... a lot of people are watching us... What are we going to do next?"

Chu Yu raised his eyebrows: "Next?

"Hmm... I remember the next step, it should be kissing my fiancée."

Shu Yanyan raised her head and looked at her in surprise.

Chu Yu knew that she was shy.

She just wanted to tease her prospective daughter-in-law, after all, the occasion was not right, and she didn't want to force a feast.Just when she was about to end this little prank and tell Shu Yanyan that it was just a small joke she made, she suddenly felt that Shu Yanyan's face gradually enlarged.

The future empress of the empire gently tiptoed in the middle of the palace, shyly but firmly, kissed her beloved fiancée.

The cheers erupted in the arena were enough to penetrate the sky, and the queen mother covered Xiao Yunmiao's eyes with a smile.

Chu Yu came back to her senses, stretched out her hand to hug Shu Yanyan tightly, and deepened the kiss warmly and reverently.
