Chapter 558: Shu He Stuns the Audience, Lady Zheng Seeks for Treatment
Shu He took two steps forward and bowed slightly to the crowd, "My Lords, I am honored."
As soon as she opened her mouth, her clear and pleasant voice was ethereal and beautiful, like a shallow stream flowing around the rocks, and inadvertently flowing into everyone's heart, making people inexplicably feel refreshed, relaxed, peaceful and comfortable.
At that moment, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, as if time had stood still for a moment.
When she raised her head and revealed her face completely, a sense of amazement suddenly surged over her like a tide.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to the woman and they couldn't look away.
On an exquisite and perfect face, with a calm gaze, elegant posture and extraordinary temperament, every part of her seems to be emitting a dazzling light, which makes people sigh that there is such a stunning person in this world!
However, after being amazed, almost everyone's heart was filled with doubts and confusion.
"This is the eldest daughter of the Shu family, Shu He? How is this possible?!"
Isn't it said that Shu He is an ugly girl? And a fat guy?
How can it be so beautiful?
The young lady next to Mingyan had an expression of jealousy and suspicion on her face.
Could it be that Prince Li found a stunning beauty to replace Shu He just to save face?
Ming Yan had stood up involuntarily, and her slightly charming eyes revealed disbelief and shame, followed by deep jealousy.
How could this woman be the ugly, stupid, and immoral pig Shu He as rumored?
In the upper part of the men's area, two distinctive gazes were fixed on Shu He.
A complex and secretive thread, as if revealing a kind of emotion as fine and slender as lotus root silk, yet difficult to cut off.
One was passionate and arrogant, like a burning flame, wrapped in a strong sense of arrogance and a determined sense of aggression.
Everyone's eyes were on Shu He, so few people noticed the gazes of these two people.
Shen Ziyan had seen Shu He before, but in her memory, the woman back then didn't seem this stunning. How come in just six months, she seemed to have undergone some kind of rebirth and transformation?
The astonished and complicated looks from the crowd made her feel a little unwilling. She didn't understand why she, who was equally beautiful, was not as stunning as Shu He when she entered the venue?
What's the difference between her and her? Why is there such a huge gap?
She frowned and looked away, but inadvertently noticed the gaze of the Eighth Prince.
The fiery and aggressive gaze made her angry.
I've heard he's into women, but is he so eager to do this in public? He's too lazy to even try to hide it?
The dignified Eighth Prince actually stared at his sister-in-law with burning eyes! How could she be worthy of being Shen Ziyan's husband with such an immoral attitude?
If other people found out about this, how would Shen Ziyan still have the face to stay in Tianqi and get married?
Looking at Shen Lanzhi who came to escort the bride, the hatred in her eyes deepened.
How come he, who has never been interested in women, has also fallen for Shu He?
Is this woman really that charming? Prince Li isn't enough, she's also trying to seduce her brother and her future husband?
The long chopsticks made of jade were tightened continuously in her hands until a crisp sound of jade breaking broke the silence in the hall and brought everyone back to their senses.
The officials smiled and greeted Shu He in return, "Greetings, Princess Li!"
Some of those who were enthusiastically supporting Baili Moqing began to praise him, "Prince Li's wife is a beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament. She and the prince are simply a perfect match made in heaven!"
"Yes, yes, Lord Wang is right. I never thought that the princess is not only capable of defending the city and defeating the enemy, but also has a kind heart and medical ethics, and is even more stunningly beautiful! Only someone as talented and stunning as the princess can be worthy of our God of War of Apocalypse!"
The officials on the side echoed the words.
The corners of Baili Moqing's mouth rose uncontrollably, and his eyes and brows revealed a tenderness and admiration that no one had ever seen before.
"You are right, my Lords. Even I, a prince, would feel that I am marrying above my station with a woman as talented and stunning as Ah He..."
His words made the faces of the adults freeze.
Could they have misheard? How could the dignified Prince Li actually feel that he was marrying above his station?
Why, it feels a bit far-fetched?!
Baili Moqing turned around and glanced at Baili Moqi coldly, his eyes full of warning.
Finally, he looked at Zheng Zihe and the wife of Duke Zheng, with a hint of displeasure on his face. "Madam, although my wife knows medicine, she is not a doctor or imperial physician who can be ordered around by anyone."
The implication was: "Not everyone is qualified to be seen by this king's princess!"
The wife of Duke Zheng's face turned ashen, and beneath her seemingly calm eyes lay deep hatred and coldness.
This is the first time I’ve been looked down upon like this!
"However, today is the Chunhua Imperial Banquet, a good day to announce my daughter's status to the world. I am in a good mood and will not mind the Zheng family's rudeness and presumption."
After saying that, Baili Moqing turned to look at Shu He and said, "Ah He, since the Duke's wife is not feeling well, please help her."
"If it's just a minor problem, just write a prescription and ask the Imperial Physician to get the medicine. If it's really an incurable disease that you can't cure, don't worry too much, there's still the Imperial Hospital."
The Duke's wife could no longer hold back, and a sinister expression uncontrollably appeared on her face. "Prince Li! Your words are a bit too vicious, aren't they? Are you cursing me?!"
Baili Moqing raised his eyebrows slightly, looking innocent, "What do you mean, Madam Duke?"
"This prince believes that the madam must be suffering from some difficult and complicated illness. If it is a minor illness, the imperial hospital's doctors should be more than capable of treating it. Why does the princess need to come in person?"
"Or is it that the Madam is not ill at all and simply wants to play a trick on the Prince and the Princess?"
"you!"
The Duke's wife was speechless, but she was anxious and wanted to argue, but she couldn't find anything to say.
The angrier he got, the more anxious he became, and the angrier he became, even his breathing became visibly faster.
"mother!"
"Mother!"
Zheng Zihe and Zheng Xiaodie, who was sitting in a seat, hurried forward to support her and help her breathe smoothly.
Shu He pursed her lips, the corners of her mouth rising uncontrollably. If the Duke's wife might not have been ill before, now, there must be something really wrong.
She stepped forward, took Baili Moqing's arm, and smiled at him from the corner of her eyes, "Your Highness, I think the Duke's wife is really feeling a little unwell. I'd better take a look at her!"
"It's just that Madam, Shu He's cooking skills are not very good, so there may be some mistakes. I hope Madam will not mind!"
After saying that, Shu He asked Zheng Xiaodie to help the Duke's wife sit down.
Seeing that the two parties had reached an agreement, Emperor Qiwen allowed the banquet to continue.
