Chapter Forty-Three: I Saw Pity
"Zhao State is rampant, and I, Shen Guo, will not tolerate him, so I can issue an order and order the soldiers to go on a new expedition."
"Yes!" Gu Jinghuai and the crown prince received the order at the same time, and when they got up, the two of them glanced at each other, although there were no waves, but the undercurrent was turbulent in private.
In order to protect the safety of the crown prince, the emperor allocated another 10,000 elite soldiers and a personal guard to him.
"Sons, more fathers."
After Gu Jinghuai received the order, he continued to walk forward with Shen Qiqi.
Under his feet is the cold white marble staircase, Gu Jinghuai is wearing a bright red wedding dress, his eyes are looking straight ahead, his thin lips are pursed into a straight line, and his side face is shadowed, which is a cold and resolute arc.
Shen Qiqi stumbled after her, and her beautiful face was shocked.
The two of them walked to the palace gate, and an angry female voice behind him stopped him.
Gu Jing......huai and Shen Seventeen stopped and looked back.
Between the princesses, carrying a long red dress, the phoenix crown walked in front of Gu Jinghuai and Shen Qiqi.
"Are you really so ruthless......" She raised her delicate face, there was a slight tear stain under her eyes, and her red lips were slightly raised, and I felt pity.
"The princess carries love, and the minister can't bear it."
The military order is not subject to "a good one can't be forgiven, is it just for this charming woman?" She stretched out her hand and wanted to slap Shen Qiqi, but she didn't want to be stopped by Gu Jinghuai.
Gu Jinghuai said word by word.
"Princess, please respect yourself."
The princess's tears were already rolling in her eyes.
Self-respect, saying so much, is just her wishful thinking.
Gu Jinghuai, you wait for me.
The princess lowered her hand and walked away, her body like the red glow on the horizon.
"Seventeen, let's go."
Gu Jinghuai reached out and held her slightly cold hand, as if holding a lifelong agreement.
Shen Qiqi smiled and handed his hand to him, his ten fingers clasped tightly, as if it was made in heaven.
Soon, General Gu re-marched with his army and fought again.
The emperor gave him a gift, and he promised that from now on, he would only marry Shen 17.
On Chang'an Avenue, the autumn sun should be slanting.
After getting married, the general resigned from military service and handed over military power.
Only take your beloved wife and go all over the world.
Since then, a lifetime of a couple.
The change of the imperial court was only an instantaneous storm, and the state that had flourished for hundreds of years also went into decline, the emperor was mediocre and incompetent, the ministers were embarrassed, and the people were not happy.
Small countries everywhere are eyeing each other and revolting one after another.
In the end, the army led by Gu Guo successfully invaded the kingdom of Xu, but at this time, the great power of the kingdom disappeared overnight.
* Gu Guo 83 years, Sheng Yi 11 years winter.
Twenty kilometers outside Gu Guocheng, the team of Haohao Tangtang struggled to move forward in the wind and snow, and the red luxury car in the middle looked particularly dazzling in this white field.
Another cold wind blew, and the front flag, which symbolized the image of the country, was blown over on the side of the road, and the two eagles facing away from each other on the flag seemed to have broken their wings and fell to the ground.
The front was forced to be interrupted, and the curtain of the sedan was lifted at this time, revealing a face with a prosperous face, the cheeks were slightly red, the face was covered with beautiful makeup, the skin was crystal red, and the blow bomb could be broken, the little hand that opened the curtain was slender and soft like a soft wattle, Ying Ying held it, and a pair of black jewel-like eyes were quiet, looking at the faintly visible Gu Guohuang in the distance, which was no different from the memory, it was still so prosperous and majestic, and it made people feel cold...... "Princess, the wind and snow are even bigger, and the team is forced to stop, please instruct the princess." ”
A maid next to the car walked to the window and said respectfully.
"Then take a break."
It doesn't matter, she's waited so long, it's not a day or two.
* Seventy-seven years of Gu Guo and five years of Shengyi.
Another year of wax moon.
In the imperial city of Guguo, the sky is full of heavy snow, and the goose feather snow will attach a layer of white silver to the entire imperial city overnight, and the pedestrians on the street are sparse, and the people are willing to hide in the quilt to keep warm without going out.
The teahouses and wine shops on both sides have lost their former liveliness, just sits sporadically with some hurried guests, and the entire imperial city is rarely quiet today, silent, so no one noticed that a black shadow flashed into the Shen Mansion located on the bustling street, and quickly disappeared into the sky outside the imperial city.
Inside the Shen Mansion.
Shen Cheng Prime Minister Shen Zhuangsheng's dormitory was not quiet at the moment, Mrs. Shen Xi Yanxue took the holy decree in the hand of her father-in-law, opened it and glanced at it a few times, her delicate and beautiful face began to not calm down, and her beautiful eyes looked at Shen Zhuangsheng, seeking answers: "Brother Zhuang Sheng, what can I do about this?" ”
"I don't know......" Prime Minister Shen Cheng, who has always been high, has a helpless time, the holy decree in his hand is this afternoon The emperor specially announced that he entered the palace and promulgated it, and the content of the holy decree is to marry his eldest daughter Shen XVII to the third prince - Mo Wangye, and the wedding will be a month later.
Marrying into the royal family, this should be a good thing, no, this represents the emperor's recognition of their Shen family, and it is the supreme glory of their Shen family, but the problem is that his eldest daughter Seventeen has already been married...... However, although Shen Zhuangsheng knew that his daughter had already married the Xiao family, who would dare to disobey the emperor's holy decree? He had to accept the holy decree, and he also understood that the emperor intended to break up the marriage contract between their Shen Xiao and the two families, Shen Xiao and the two families were both prime ministers and high powers, assisting the new emperor, and they were indispensable left and right hands around the new emperor, however, the new emperor's wings were stiff, and he naturally couldn't allow the people around him to threaten his status, so he had this holy decree.
"I'll go tomorrow to cancel the engagement with the Xiao family."
Things have come to this point, Shen Zhuangsheng had to compromise, now the only way to cancel the marriage contract with the Xiao family is to go, the new emperor began to avoid himself and the Xiao family, which is all in his expectation, the emperors of the past dynasties who want to be surrounded by crises, the new emperor is most afraid of a high-powered minister, the people's hearts and minds to the emperor This is what the emperors of the past dynasties think, the Shen family has been wholeheartedly loyal to the emperor for generations, there has never been two hearts, but still can not really trust, Shen Zhuangsheng also knows that the emperor and the ministers will always be suspicious of each other, But the suspicion fell on him, Shen Zhuangsheng couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, how could he face the Xiao family, who had been friends for generations? "Brother Zhuang Sheng, I'll accompany you tomorrow."
Xi Yanxue's slender hand was on Shen Zhuangsheng's shoulder, and her delicate face was also full of sadness, but it didn't affect her beauty at all, making people look pitiful, and she just wanted to smooth the wrinkles on her forehead.
"Yanxue, don't be so worried, Brother Xiao will understand, maybe they have also received the news."
Shen Zhuangsheng pulled Xi Yanxue and let her sit on his lap, while he buried himself in her arms, "Seventeen, let's go tell her tomorrow." ”
"Okay."
Xi Yanxue touched the head in her arms all over again, and the sadness on her face slowly disappeared little by little, there is always a solution to things, and she believes that Brother Zhuang Sheng will handle everything well.
*Jun Accord.
The door was slammed! With a bang, a bloated figure walked rudely into the hall.
Haitang and Bai Ruo heard the sound of opening the door, and immediately greeted them, and when they saw the person coming, they asked: "Miss, are you back, the snow is so heavy outside, why don't you wear more coats to go out......" Haitang was still chattering, and was interrupted by the person who came in.
"I'm not coming back, you don't have to worry."
"Miss, hurry up and warm up."
Bai Ruo handed over a cup of hot tea, which was steaming warmly.
"No need."
Shen Seventeen's chubby body crossed them, walked directly to his bed, pushed open the upper bed board, and there was a storage compartment below, only to see that it was full of bottles and jars of different sizes, although Shen Seventeen was fat, but his movements were very neat, he took out a medicine bottle from his arms and put it in it and immediately closed the dark compartment, and the whole person quickly stood up and sat on the bed.
"Miss, can you see him this time?" Begonia came up curiously and asked, at the beginning of every month, the young lady will go out to meet a person, but it is said to be a meeting, but in fact, it is just to get a medicine bottle, and it is difficult to say if the person who sent the bottle can see it.
"Eventful!" Shen Qiqi glanced at Begonia, and his whole body fell on the bed, only to hear another "bump--" sound, which was the sound of her colliding with the bed board.
"Miss, you tap, this bed board has just been changed."
