The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1171

[Chapter 1171 Princess Anyang]

After seeing this, the Emperor and the Empress immediately showed understanding on their faces.

“Lord Lin, whose family is this lady? She is so lovely?”

The Emperor and the Empress carefully looked at Chen Huifang, and then the Emperor spoke to Lin Tian.

“Your Majesty, I am not a lady from a rich family. I am just a commoner. Prime Minister Lin saved my life when he was out for fun, and then we got to know each other. Now I have no relatives in Jizhou, the capital of Yan State, so I can only follow Prime Minister Lin.”

After hearing the Emperor’s words, Lin Tian wanted to answer the Emperor, but before Lin Tian could answer, Chen Huifang spoke to the Emperor first.

But in the eyes of other officials, Chen Huifang’s words were simply an attempt to cover up the truth. Obviously, they did not believe what Chen Huifang said. Not to mention them, even the Emperor and the Empress did not believe what Chen Huifang said.

Because when they came down, the emperor and the empress had already seen Lin Tian and Chen Huifang holding hands, so they could tell at a glance that the relationship between Lin Tian and Chen Huifang was not what Chen Huifang said.

“Oh? Then where does the girl live? How old is she? Are you married now?”

After hearing what Chen Huifang said, the emperor smiled and asked Chen Huifang.

“Ah…?”

After hearing the emperor’s question, Chen Huifang was also stunned. It was obvious that she did not expect the emperor to ask her these questions.

Not to mention Chen Huifang, even the empress beside the emperor, Lin Tian beside Chen Huifang, and all the other officials in the hall, after hearing the emperor’s question, they all showed very puzzled expressions.

They didn’t know what the emperor was thinking, because it was too much like those flower-stealing thieves in the rivers and lakes.

“I originally lived with my grandfather in the mountains. I am eighteen years old this year and have not yet married.”

After Chen Huifang was stunned, she thought of the worst plan in her heart, that is, the emperor fell in love with her, but Chen Huifang had to answer the emperor’s question, so she could only speak to the emperor. When Chen Huifang said these words, Lin Tian even felt Chen Huifang’s trembling.

“Eighteen? In this case, you are a good match for Lord Lin. I wonder if the girl is willing to marry Lord Lin?”

The emperor did not notice the eyes of other officials. After hearing Chen Huifang’s words, he just pinched his chin and thought for a while, muttered to himself, and then spoke to Chen Huifang.

Chen Huifang was relieved when she heard the emperor say this. It was obvious that she did not want to be taken into the harem by the emperor, but she just thought of the emperor’s question to her, and her face became red again.

“How can you ask like that?”

The Queen thought that the Emperor was being beastly and wanted to take a new concubine to the harem. After hearing what the Emperor said, she was relieved. Then she thought of the Emperor’s question about Chen Huifang, so she said to the Emperor.

“May I know your name? Your Majesty was just considering Prime Minister Lin, so there were some shortcomings in your consideration.”

After hearing what the Queen said, the Emperor realized that he was too abrupt before. He laughed twice, and then looked at the Queen and asked Chen Huifang.

“I am Chen Huifang, the commoner, and I pay my respects to the Queen.”

Chen Huifang saw the Queen so closely, and felt the kindness from the Queen, the mother of the country, so she was very kind to the Queen.

“Chen Huifang? What a good name. Come, follow me, I will ask you something.”

After hearing what Chen Huifang said, the Queen silently read Chen Huifang’s name, and then stretched out her hand, wanting to pull Chen Huifang away.

Chen Huifang heard what the Queen said, but she did not refuse. She also reached out and took the Queen’s hand, and left with the Queen.

This time, Lin Tian became the center of attention here. After the Emperor saw the Queen pulling Chen Huifang away, he looked at Lin Tian deeply again.

“My dear Lin, won’t you tell me in detail?”

The Emperor asked Lin Tian, but the gossipy expression on his face betrayed his upright words, so Lin Tian rolled his eyes.

“Your Majesty, what do you need me to tell you? I must tell you everything I know.”

Lin Tian also said to the Emperor, but Lin Tian’s questioning did block the Emperor’s mouth, so that the Emperor didn’t know where to ask Lin Tian.

In the end, the Emperor could only reach out his hand, nodded at Lin Tian, and then left here and returned to his seat. After seeing the Emperor leave here angrily, Lin Tian also poured a glass of wine, raised the glass to the Emperor, and then drank it all.

After a while, the Empress also came out with Chen Huifang. Chen Huifang did not return to Lin Tian’s side, but sat directly beside the Empress.

“Ahem, I have been the Empress for so long, but I have not been able to give birth to a son for the Emperor. I feel guilty towards the Emperor. Now I have no hope, so I can only adopt a goddaughter. This girl will be my goddaughter in the future, and she will also be the eldest princess of Yan State. Now please agree, Your Majesty.”

After the Empress came back, she did not sit down, but took Chen Huifang to the Emperor, and then knelt down, and spoke to the Emperor and other civil and military officials in the court.

The Emperor on the main seat, Lin Tian sitting below, and other civil and military officials sitting below, all showed shocked expressions on their faces after hearing the Empress’ words.

I didn’t expect that Chen Huifang and the Empress would be considered the Empress’s goddaughter after such a short time away. This is not like reading a novel, it is really unbelievable.

“Please agree, Your Majesty.”

The Empress saw that the Emperor did not react after hearing her words, so she could only remind the Emperor again.

“Ah? Yes, yes.”

The Emperor reacted and looked at the Empress again. The Emperor saw the determination in the Empress’ eyes, and then spoke.

“In the future, Chen Huifang will also be my goddaughter, and also the Princess of Yan State, with the title of Anyang.”

The Emperor spoke again to the civil and military officials in the hall.

“Your humble servant greets Princess Anyang. May Princess Anyang live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years.”
