Chapter 635: Chapter 635: The Destiny Princess vs. The Ambitious Younger Sister (Eighteen)

Gu Shengyin expressed her agreement with silence.

The Crown Prince did not like it, and there was nothing the Phoenix Monarch could do.

Those families returned home and were waiting for the imperial decree from the palace.

In the end, the spouses for the Third Princess and Fourth Princess were settled, leaving only the Crown Prince without a match.

Not to mention a legal spouse, there wasn’t even a decree to confer a side consort.

Everyone was discussing spiritedly, unsure of the palace’s stance on this matter.

The Phoenix Emperor was worried too, her eldest daughter was good in all aspects, but she seemed to have been raised too proudly by herself, with standards impossibly high.

But no matter what she said, even to the point of anger, Gu Shengyin refused to compromise,

She declared that she liked none, and even if she were to marry one day, the two would likely maintain a respectful distance.

For the first time, the Phoenix Emperor felt that being too close to her daughter was not a good thing.

If it were in the past, she would have directly issued an imperial edict for marriage and Changge would have said nothing.

But now, as she clung to her sleeve with a reluctant expression on her face, the Phoenix Emperor found herself unwilling to force her.

Even the Phoenix Emperor herself felt in her heart that she should find the best legal spouse in the world for her eldest daughter.

Just like that, half a month went by.

On the occasion of the Phoenix Emperor’s Longevity Festival, a delegation from a neighboring country across the vast prairies came.

Speaking of which, the neighboring Da Qin Dynasty and the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty were completely different nations.

It was said there, in contrast to the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty, it was the men who became emperors, held official positions, while women stayed at home caring for their husbands and educating their children, even giving birth was regarded as a woman’s responsibility.

In the eyes of the people from the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty, this was completely unimaginable.

And to the people of the Da Qin Dynasty, having women rule in the Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty was also utterly incomprehensible.

It was precisely because the two dynasties had such distinct systems that there had been no conflicts between them, and they had managed to coexist peacefully for thousands of years, even maintaining rather good relations.

This time, in celebration of the Phoenix Emperor’s longevity, the Da Qin Dynasty had sent envoys to represent His Majesty of the Da Qin Dynasty Emperor to offer birthday congratulations.

"His Royal Highness Prince Yong, this Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty truly is as the rumors say, with women running all about," whispered a voice from inside the grandest carriage at the front of a luxurious convoy.

"Indeed, it is amusing," a languid and luxurious voice replied.

The previous speaker continued, "Women as emperors and officials, it’s unheard of and truly strange."

The owner of the luxurious voice said, "Nothing is impossible. What we find odd about them, they might find just as peculiar about us."

This procession of grand carriages drew the gaze of many passersby, who all speculated about the identity of those within.

Finally, the day of the Phoenix Emperor’s Longevity Festival arrived.

The Phoenix Emperor was hosting a grand feast for her ministers in the Heavenly Phoenix Hall of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace.

Sitting beside her, dressed in full regalia, was the Phoenix Monarch.

As the Crown Prince, Gu Shengyin occupied the first seat to the left below the Phoenix Monarch.

Huang Mingge, who had been confined for several months, was finally allowed out on this occasion.

She was contemplating using her sought-after valuable gifts to regain the favor of the Imperial Mother.

"Envoys from the Da Qin Dynasty, bearing instructions from His Majesty of the Da Qin Dynasty Emperor, have come to offer birthday congratulations to Your Majesty Phoenix Emperor!"

The voice of the Palace Attendant attracted the attention of everyone present.

The assembled ministers all turned their heads to look towards the entrance of the grand hall.
