068 The Empress of the Kingdom (20)
After staring at the other party for a moment, Xuanyuan Zichen nodded his head and agreed to her proposal. Seeing that the other party had such an attitude, Shen Mengdie also breathed a sigh of relief, and after saying goodbye to the other party with a smile, she slowly left the Liwang Mansion.
Xuanyuan Zichen looked at the figure of the other party leaving, and after clenching his fists, he suppressed the urge to keep the person strong, and looked at the picture scroll hanging on the pillar, he smiled silently.
In the following days, Shen Mengdie asked Mo to go to the garment shop to study, and at the same time deliberately cultivated her to be her right-hand man. At the same time, in the face of Xuanyuan Zichen's attitude towards herself, she was also a little undecided.
Just when the Shen family's business was booming, the forces that were secretly about to move also began a series of actions against the Shen family, in the face of this sudden crisis, Shen Mengdie could only try to do a good job in the industry he was currently operating, and could not find out who was behind the scenes.
Just when things were at a loss, Shen Mengdie received a holy decree from the palace, and with the second holy decree she received, she couldn't cry or laugh for a while.
It's just because Xuanyuan Zichen expressed his willingness to marry her as a concubine when he invited her to get together recently, but considering his actual situation, Shen Mengdie politely refused the other party's request, and that person asked the emperor for a holy decree to give marriage.
And just after the news came out that Prince Li was going to marry the princess, the people who were behind the Shen family suddenly disappeared for some reason.
"Miss, Prince Li is here to visit." The maid hurried in from outside the house, and said in a panic. In the face of Prince Li himself, most women are a little scared, although the other party is a prince, but the perennial iceberg face and the murderous feeling, it is difficult for ordinary women to approach with confidence.
Looking at the personal maid's appearance of such a gaffe, Shen Mengdie scolded. "Panic, what kind of system."
"Miss is taught."
Seeing the maid's respectful attitude, Shen Mengdie was not ready to say anything more, but asked, "Where is Prince Li?" ”
"Miss Hui's words, Prince Li is waiting in the living room."
"Well, let's go." After knowing where Xuanyuan Zichen was, Shen Mengdie slowly walked towards the living room after smoothing the hair on her sideburns.
After Shen Mengdie walked to the door of the living room, she saw the person sitting on the chair at a glance, waving her hand to signal everyone who was waiting to go down, and she slowly walked towards the other party.
"Why did you come to my house today?" She paced over to a chair next to the other and sat down, looking at each other with a puzzled look.
"You have received the holy decree, when are you going to marry me?"
In response to Xuanyuan Zichen's direct and clear question, she pondered for a moment and then replied, "Now is not the time. ”
"Why isn't it time? Don't you ......" Xuanyuan Zichen held her hand tightly, and stared straight into the other party's eyes with burning eyes.
Shen Mengdie lowered her eyes under the other party's gaze, bit the corner of her mouth, suppressed the words that were almost spoken, and said softly after being silent for a long time: "Can you wait for me any longer?" ”
Faced with this answer, although Xuanyuan Zichen was not very satisfied, he still nodded his head, and agreed with her decision, and stepped forward to stop the person in his arms.
Shen Mengdie buried her head in the other party's arms and smiled bitterly. She felt lost about the future, and couldn't help but ask herself in her heart. "Should I be selfish once? Agree to the other party's request. ”
After trying to suppress the sourness that surged in her heart, she suddenly remembered the business that she had forgotten, so she raised her head and looked at Xuanyuan Zichen's face and asked, "Zichen, do you know that the prime minister's son-in-law has a person surnamed Mo?" ”
"The prime minister's son-in-law?" Xuanyuan Zichen looked at her suspiciously, and continued to hug her tightly. "How do you ask this?"
"I was also entrusted to help her find her father."
"Mo ......," Xuanyuan Zichen pondered for a moment. There is indeed such a person, who was the new champion of the year, and later entered the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"Can you help me get someone out? I want them to meet in private first. For Xuanyuan Zichen to be able to help herself, Shen Mengdie seemed a little happy.
For this kind of small request, Xuanyuan Zichen can naturally do it easily. And on the second day, when he went to the morning court, he took advantage of the short time to invite the other party to the Liwang Mansion in the afternoon, and Shen Mengdie, who received the notice, also called Mo Qian back.
"Sister Mengdie, is there something going on today?" In the recent period, Mo Qian has been studying hard, and under Shen Mengdie's instructions, she has naturally never encountered any difficulties. And in the face of Shen Mengdie's decision to let her stay today, there are also faint doubts in her heart.
"Accompany me to the Liwang Mansion this afternoon."
"Liwang's Mansion?" Mo Tianxin repeated a little dazedly, and then nodded in agreement. "Okay, Sister Mengdie."
After a period of subtle change in the recent period, Mo Qianxin is no longer the girl who just came out of the countryside, under Shen Mengdie's intentional cultivation, she has grown up quickly without knowing herself.
Shen Mengdie naturally understood the other party's doubts, but she felt that it was better to wait until she met Father Mo in the Liwang Mansion in the afternoon, and it would be no good to inform her in advance now.
So when the two of them arrived at King Li's Mansion and saw a middle-aged man with a gentle temperament, Shen Mengdie pushed Mo Tianxin behind him forward, and whispered in her ear: "He is the father you are looking for, go and tell him what you have." ”
After listening to her words, Mo Qian looked at the middle-aged man with some surprise, and after staring at the other party silently for a long time, he walked towards the other party with tears in his eyes. "Daddy......"
Father Mo was a little confused when he received Prince Li's invitation, and when he learned from Prince Li that it was his daughter who had found him, although he was surprised, he did not have any gaffe. After so many years, he always knew that he had a daughter, but he couldn't go back to his home.
When Shen Mengdie and the two came in, he turned his gaze to Mo Qianxin, just because the other party was too similar to his wife, after listening to Mo Tianxin's crying voice, he stood up a little excitedly and greeted him.
Shen Mengdie watched silently from the side, and when she saw the two of them with tears in the corners of their eyes, she was a little moved for a while. "When will I go back to see my parents?" Thinking of this, she was also a little uncomfortable for a while.
After noticing her expression, Xuanyuan Zichen came over and took her hand and temporarily took the person away from here. The two stood in the garden and looked at each other speechlessly, looking at the colorful butterflies fluttering on the flowers, she leaned her body into the arms of the person behind her with peace of mind, and Xuanyuan Zichen also naturally hugged her waist.
When the subordinates who were waiting on the side saw the movements of their prince, they all tried to reduce their sense of presence as much as possible, and their eyes were firmly fixed on their toes.
