Chapter 633: Chapter 633: The Destiny Princess vs. The Ambitious Younger Sister (Sixteen)

Gu Shengyin swiftly mustered a smile and very consciously walked over to pull the Phoenix Emperor to sit down.

She did not bow to the Phoenix Emperor. Over time, the Phoenix Emperor had grown accustomed to this daughter’s displays of affection and did not mind it.

It was the Phoenix Monarch, however, who was surprised by the manner in which mother and daughter interacted.

But while Changge could act coquettishly, he could not.

"Your servant pays homage to Your Majesty."

Gu Shengyin quickly stepped aside.

The Phoenix Emperor waved a hand: "Phoenix Noble, there is no need for such formalities."

Only then did the Phoenix Monarch rise and sit properly, undoubtedly pleased in his heart. It was certainly a good thing that his eldest daughter enjoyed the favor of the emperor.

"Imperial Mother..." Gu Shengyin drew out her voice.

The Phoenix Emperor’s expression did not change: "If it is about the selection, there is no need to mention it."

Gu Shengyin felt somewhat deflated. She knew in her heart that, as the Crown Prince, delaying marriage to the Legal Spouse was simply impossible.

After some thought, she switched tracks: "Then, can Imperial Mother agree to let your daughter choose the Legal Spouse herself? The person who will accompany your daughter for a lifetime should at least be someone to her liking, right?"

The Phoenix Emperor considered: "To some extent, that is possible. But you must choose a Legal Spouse who will benefit you in the future."

Gu Shengyin thought to herself, how would I know what his status in this world is?

Her expression turned serious, and she said proudly: "Imperial Mother, that is where you are wrong! I believe that only an incapable monarch needs to rely on the power of the Monarch Clan to secure his own position. A king who cannot even suppress his own court officials is not a qualified monarch!"

The Phoenix Emperor’s expression softened slightly as she looked at her daughter, her eyes filled with gratification and pride. Such a dazzling and proud Changge was indeed taught by herself.

Then, in the next moment, the dominating air of Gu Shengyin looking down upon the world disappeared, and she looked at the Phoenix Emperor with somewhat of a pleading smile: "Of course, Imperial Mother, you are different; you are a formidable Sage Monarch. With parents like you and father, it adds glory to glory, even better, far better."

Her words just now, if heard by someone with ulterior motives, could certainly lead to accusations of disrespect towards the Phoenix Emperor. After all, the union of the Phoenix Emperor and the Phoenix Monarch was also largely one of interest.

The Phoenix Emperor could no longer suppress a smile and glanced sideways at Gu Shengyin, rebuking with laughter: "You are without proper manners, even daring to tease me!"

Though she spoke thus, her tone contained not a hint of reprimand.

Gu Shengyin seized the opportunity to climb higher, asking: "Then... about your daughter’s Legal Spouse?"

The Phoenix Emperor pondered: "Since you possess such boldness, as long as the family background is unblemished, I will let you decide on your own."

Gu Shengyin was overjoyed: "Imperial Mother is wise!"

The Phoenix Emperor smiled teasingly: "If I had not agreed just now, would I not be wise?"

Gu Shengyin’s expression became serious: "How could that be possible? In the eyes of your servant, Imperial Mother, you are always the greatest monarch."

The Phoenix Emperor was very pleased to hear this.

Then Gu Shengyin added: "Since this is the case, Imperial Mother, would you perhaps agree to one more thing for your servant?"

The Phoenix Emperor really is being pushed an inch further, she glanced at her: "Speak."

Gu Shengyin considered carefully: "Your daughter has never learned how to get along with a Legal Spouse. I wonder if Imperial Mother would be willing to not take in concubines and secondary spouses for a while at the time of the grand marriage."

The Phoenix Emperor thought it over; this was good too, first giving birth to a legitimate daughter could guarantee the Legal Spouse’s position.

She spoke: "Such a minor matter, you and your father can discuss it."

Phoenix Monarch, who had been watching his eldest daughter and the Phoenix Emperor interact with rare fondness, quickly nodded in agreement.
