Chapter 380 Princess Zhenguo
"You are the most important thing to your mother. This kind of banquet is held every year and it doesn't have much meaning. This year, your mother just wants to spend time with you." The queen patted Shen Wanning's hand with satisfaction and said.
"How does Wanning feel now? Is he feeling better?" asked the emperor.
Shen Wanning nodded, "Don't worry, Father. I'm fine now."
"That's good, that's good." After saying this, the Emperor looked at the Empress, "Empress, today is a very auspicious day. It's your birthday banquet, and we've found our beloved princess. Why not use this day to announce Wan Ning's identity to all the officials?"
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, Mother. Today is a good day for double happiness. What's more, after making Sister Wan Ning's identity public, I want to see if there is any blind person who dares to harm Sister Wan Ning again." The prince agreed.
"Wanning, what do you think?" the queen looked at Shen Wanning and asked.
"It's all up to my father, the emperor, and my mother, the queen." Shen Wanning said obediently.
Even if not now, the Emperor and Empress will announce her identity in the future.
"Okay, then I'll make arrangements now." After saying that, he turned to Eunuch Xi and said, "Little Xizi, there's no need to read the imperial edict I was going to use to confer the title of Princess on Lady Jingu. I'll have other arrangements later."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Eunuch Xi replied.
"Since you are here, why don't you join the palace banquet?" the emperor said as he passed by Lin Jingyou.
Shen Wanning got up from the bed, drank a cup of tea, and then went to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with them.
Now that the aphrodisiac scent in her body had worn off, she felt no discomfort anywhere.
When they arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Shen Wanning followed the emperor and empress as they walked in. Many people's eyes were on her.
However, she acted as if she didn't see it, and walked beside the queen without looking away.
"Greetings to the Emperor and the Empress. Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, and a thousand years live the Empress." The ministers shouted in unison.
"Everyone, please stand." The emperor finished speaking, and after the ministers stood up, he immediately said, "Today is the Queen's birthday, a happy occasion that everyone in the world celebrates. Not only that, the Queen and I have an even greater joy today."
When saying this, the emperor and the queen looked at each other, their eyes full of happiness.
"Today, the Queen and I finally found Princess Shoukang!" The Emperor stretched out his hand. Shen Wanning placed her hand on the Emperor's hand and stood between the Emperor and the Queen.
"As everyone knows, three years ago, Princess Shoukang encountered an assassination attempt upon her return to the palace, and her whereabouts remain unknown. I only learned today that the princess, having wandered among the common people, was rescued by the family of Lin Jingyou, the magistrate of Baocheng County. Over the past three years, Princess Shoukang not only discovered crops like cassava, sweet potatoes, and cotton during a severe drought, but also discovered golden rice last year and cultivated hybrid rice this year.
Princess Shoukang saved the people from disaster and served the country and its people with immortal contributions. From today on, she is specially named the Princess Guarding the Nation and enjoys the right to participate in political affairs!
When the emperor said the last few words, Shen Wanning was startled and looked up at the emperor. Not only her, but even the queen looked at the emperor. She didn't expect that the emperor would actually make Shen Wanning the Princess of the Nation.
Perhaps shocked by the emperor's words, the ministers below were stunned. Some even started to discuss quietly.
The prince took the lead and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Father, your majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise! He greets the Princess Zhenguo. May your Majesty live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!" The ministers were very sensible. They certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to go against something that the three most powerful people in the country supported.
The Queen looked at Shen Wanning and nodded encouragingly. Shen Wanning let out a long breath and said, "Stand up."
Originally, after the recognition, Shen Wanning wanted to go down to find Lin Jingyou, but the emperor and the queen had just recognized the princess, so how could they let her go so easily?
Therefore, the two of them added another table next to the queen, and Shen Wanning had no choice but to sit there.
But his eyes were always looking for Lin Jingyou below.
Seeing Yan Hui chatting with Lin Jingyou, Shen Wanning felt relieved. She would go find him after the banquet.
At the banquet, because Shen Wanning was named Princess Zhenguo, it seemed that the protagonist today was not the queen, but her.
Many ladies came to toast her, and the queen, like an ordinary mother, gently introduced everyone's identities to her.
Shen Wanning listened carefully, after all, she would inevitably have to deal with these people in the future.
Finally, the banquet was over and Shen Wanning stood up and wanted to leave.
"Hey, Wan Ning, now that you are a princess, you should live in the palace. Why are you running out? I have asked someone to take the nanny and maid you brought into the palace to Mingyue Palace." The queen grabbed Shen Wan Ning who was about to run away.
The Queen's reminder reminded her of Gui Ma and Bai Zhi. She had just mentioned them to the Queen, and she thought the Queen had already found them and sent them back first!
"But my driver is still waiting outside!" Shen Wanning couldn't say anything to Lin Jingyou at this time.
"That's fine. Send someone to tell him to go back first." The queen still held Shen Wanning's hand, not letting her leave.
She had never felt the warmth of family before, and she felt a little uncomfortable with the Queen's concern. But she knew in her heart that the Queen cared about her, so she didn't say anything to refuse.
"Wan Ning, just live in the palace with peace of mind! If there is anything you need or want, just tell your mother and she will find it for you." The queen was still chattering.
The emperor looked on and found it a little funny. The queen didn't know why she was in such a hurry to go back, but he knew it clearly.
With such a big change today, Shen Wanning must be anxious to go back and explain everything to Lin Jingyou. After all, he knows their relationship very well.
When he was about to send Lin Jingyou away and mentioned the arranged marriage, he saw Lin Jingyou's expression.
"Yes, Wanning, your mother is right. During the years you were missing, your mother thought about you every day, fasted and chanted Buddhist scriptures, just hoping that you would be safe. Now that she finally sees you, you must accompany your mother no matter what!" The emperor advised.
Shen Wanning had no choice but to agree. She would leave the palace tomorrow and explain everything to Lin Jingyou.
Just now at the banquet, Yan Hui kept asking about Shen Wanning. Lin Jingyou could only evade the question, saying that he didn't know how Shen Wanning became the Princess of the Nation.
Back home, Lin Jingyou guessed that Shen Wanning would probably not come home tonight. However, he still asked someone to guard the door and notify him if Shen Wanning came back.
As for Shen Wanning, she had been sent to Mingyue Palace by the Queen.
