Chapter 109: The ministers eat melons: Whose child is it?
Emperor Xuanyuan still had a smile on his face.
Before this, he had asked the palace physician to take Princess Yingri's pulse.
Princess Sakurahi was indeed pregnant.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to grant them a marriage in front of all the ministers, the Fusang envoy, and Shen Li today.
Royal offspring are already rare, and now that Princess Sakura has a royal child, of course she should be welcomed into the family immediately.
However, Yun Chenyu is now refusing to admit it.
Then let the woman he likes personally take Princess Sakurahi's pulse, and when the pregnancy is confirmed, see how he can refuse.
"Shen Li!"
Shen Li was thinking about what to do after moving out of Prince Chen's Mansion when he was suddenly called by Emperor Xuanyuan and came back to his senses.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
"You have extraordinary medical skills. Please check Princess Yingri's pulse yourself to see if she is pregnant."
Without waiting for Shen Li to agree, Princess Yingri took the initiative to walk up to her.
He held his head high and stretched out his hand with great pride.
"This princess has already said that I will be the future mistress of Prince Chen's Mansion!"
Shen Li ignored her.
Reach out and feel her pulse.
It turned out to be a pregnancy pulse.
Shen Li was very shocked.
A princess of a country, who has not yet married, is actually pregnant. In this ancient time when reputation is more important than life, this is really shocking!
"Do you finally believe what I said?"
Princess Yingri did not feel ashamed at this moment. Instead, she felt even more excited when she saw Shen Li's surprised expression.
Now that she has confirmed her pregnancy, and Emperor Xuanyuan attaches great importance to having offspring, she will definitely be married to Prince Chen's Palace.
Shen Li glanced at Yun Chenyu, then turned his gaze to Emperor Xuanyuan.
"Your Majesty, she is indeed pregnant."
Emperor Xuanyuan laughed when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, his son, who looked cold and heartless on the outside and said that he and Shen Li would be together for life, secretly got Princess Yingri pregnant.
He was still hesitant in the palace and refused to marry Princess Yingri.
She's already pregnant, and there are so many ministers in the court, even the Fuso envoy is here. Can he just refuse to marry her?
Emperor Xuanyuan smiled broadly and said, "Prince Chen, it has now been confirmed that Princess Yingri is indeed pregnant with your child. If you don't marry her, how will she save face?"
At this moment, all the ministers responded and agreed to let Yun Chenyu marry Princess Yingri in order to maintain diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Yun Chenyu's face was calm, and he said slowly, "Father, does her pregnancy prove that it's my son's child?"
These ministers in the court usually look quite smart, why have they become stupid now?
Just because a woman is pregnant, he's blamed?
"Your Highness! Why don't you admit it? I'm the princess of Fusang. How can I face people in the future if you do this?"
Princess Sakura was so anxious that she spoke several times faster than before.
Now everyone in the court knew that she was pregnant, but Yun Chenyu, who made her pregnant, said that the child in her belly was not his.
She felt that she had lost face.
No, she must hold on. Now, only if Yun Chenyu admits that the child is his can she save some face.
Prince Yin felt that his sister's actions had really brought shame to Fuso.
He felt like he was being roasted on a fire, his whole body burning with shame.
He came to his senses and figured it out.
Now, the only way to restore his and Fusang's reputation to the greatest extent is to let Yunchenyu recognize the child.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Chen has made my sister pregnant and yet he refuses to acknowledge it. This is not the behavior of a gentleman. I hope you can take charge of the situation and grant them a marriage, which will also save the reputation of Fusang.
Prince Yin's words made Princess Yingri more confident.
She gave Prince Yin a look that was unclear whether it was gratitude or guilt.
Retracting her gaze, she looked at Yun Chenyu and said in a firm tone: "Your Highness, when you were in Prince Chen's mansion, you promised me that you would take responsibility if I became pregnant with your child."
Really? Princess Yingri and Prince Chen really are having an affair.
Otherwise, why would he openly bring someone into the courtyard of his own house!
All the ministers were eating the big melon.
"Royal brother, I didn't expect you to have a child so soon, even faster than me, your brother." Prince Yun Tingye joked.
"Princess Yingri loves you deeply and is now pregnant with your child. You should marry her back home as soon as possible. I'm sure Shen Li won't refuse."
Seeing that Yun Chenyu remained silent, Princess Yingri took a handkerchief and began to wipe her tears.
"Your Highness, I am also a princess of a country, of noble status. I am now willing to be a co-wife with another woman and share a husband, which is already a step back. What else do you want me to do before you acknowledge the child in my belly?!"
Princess Yingri turned to look at Emperor Xuanyuan: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me!"
The Xuanyuan Emperor was now immersed in the joy of finally being able to hold his grandson, his brows relaxed. "Princess Yingri is pregnant with a royal child. I am very pleased. I have specially granted the marriage between the two. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory will select an auspicious date for the wedding ceremony!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this moment, Princess Sakura and the envoy from Fuso Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief.
With the emperor's marriage arrangement, they saved face.
"and many more……"
Yun Chenyu walked out of the crowd, his dark eyes sweeping across Princess Yingri's lower abdomen.
"I am not someone who dares to do things but not take responsibility for them. I will never allow anyone to accuse me of something I haven't done."
At this moment, the atmosphere in the court became even more tense.
What Prince Chen said clearly meant that the child in Princess Yingri's belly was not his.
So who of them is telling the truth and who is lying?
All the ministers were waiting to watch the fun.
After all, most people tend to stay out of things that don't concern them.
Princess Yingri's face turned pale instantly, her fingertips became extremely cold, and tears welled up in her eyes: "Your Highness, you still don't recognize this child?"
Yun Chenyu and Shen Li looked at each other and then looked at Princess Yingri.
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes: "I haven't even held your hand, how did you get a child?"
Princess Sakura's lips couldn't stop trembling, and her fingers were clenched in her sleeves.
She originally thought that Yun Chenyu was a gentleman, but she didn't expect that he was actually a villain!
He is a villain who dares to do things but not to take responsibility!
"Your Majesty, the child in my belly is Prince Chen's! Now he doesn't even dare to admit it. Are all Yunyan men like Prince Chen? He really makes the world laugh at him!"
Princess Yingri's words not only insulted Prince Chen, but also all the men in Yunyan. How could Emperor Xuanyuan stand idly by?
"Prince Chen! This matter concerns the diplomatic relations between our two countries. It cannot be taken lightly. I will ask you one last time, is the child in Princess Yingri's belly yours?"
"I have never touched Princess Yingri, so the child in her belly is naturally not my own."
Princess Sakura stamped her feet in anger.
He still refuses to admit it, he still refuses to admit it!
