Chapter 705: A Divine Decree One Step Late
The Emperor's will came sooner than they thought.
Xiao Jingchen was about to leave with the matchmaker when he saw several fast horses galloping towards Linjia Village.
"The holy decree has arrived, and King Xiao has received the decree."
Before the messenger dismounted, he shouted.
Lin Ruan heard movement in the house and hurriedly led people out of the room together.
Receiving this kind of thing, as long as it is in this house, everyone will be present.
A group of people knelt on the ground, and the dragon guard who announced the decree took out the holy decree and read it out loud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor is like saying, Xiao Wang Jingchen, has repeatedly made great contributions, is loyal to the king, and I am very relieved...... It is specifically pointed out that Zhao Mingyue, the daughter of King Qi, is the wife, and she will get married on a certain day. ”
As soon as the decree was announced, most of the people present were stunned.
But the two protagonists and the husband and wife of King Shen Jun and the crown prince are calm.
Seeing Xiao Jingchen kneeling still, the palace people said again: "Lord Xiao, please accept the order." ”
Xiao Jingchen remained motionless: "The minister's marriage has been decided, and the emperor's decree is one step late." The minister does not want to be a man of his word and has no faith, so this holy decree cannot be accepted by the minister. ”
The palace people are also a little confused, is this to resist the decree?
"Lord Xiao, please don't embarrass the slave, this is the emperor's will, please ......"
Xiao Jingchen said to the palace: "This king will not accept this will, father-in-law, please return the holy decree, and all the consequences will be borne by this king." ”
This kind of thing is the first time that the palace people have encountered it.
I couldn't make a decision for a while, so I could only cast a look at the prince who was standing on the side for help, hoping that the prince could persuade Prince Xiao.
The prince waved his hand, "This holy decree, you should go back first." Prince Xiao's marriage has indeed been decided, and Lone is still a witness. Lone would write a letter to explain this to his father in person. ”
The prince spoke, and the palace people had to roll up the holy decree, put it back in the bag and take it away.
The first time I encountered this kind of thing, when the palace people left, their minds were confused.
Waiting for the people of the Decree Palace to leave, Lin Ruan asked worriedly: "......What are the consequences of disrespecting the decree?"
Xiao Jingchen glanced at the prince with a smile, "That's why I found the prince to be our witness." Our marriage agreement is in front, and the emperor's will is one step late, so strictly speaking, this matter is not considered to be a protest. ”
Lin Ruan was still a little worried: "What if the emperor in Kyoto has already issued an order in advance?" ”
There are two holy decrees for marriage, one for both men and women, and this holy decree will go to Linjia Village for nearly half a month, which shows that the emperor has long known what Xiao Jingchen has made up his mind, and it is likely that in order to cut off Xiao Jingchen's back road, he went to the Qi Palace's mansion in advance to announce the decree. In that case, the marriage would have happened before she and Xiao Jingchen got married.
Xiao Jingchen smiled slightly: "If that's the case, then you can only use the jade pendant in your hand to save my life." ”
Lin Ruan nodded without hesitation.
King Shen Jun was very satisfied with Xiao Jingchen's attitude, but he was still unforgiving, "Don't be too happy, the emperor has always been the most disobedient person to him. If it is because of the matter of resisting the decree that it affects Ah Ruan, see how I spare you. ”
The prince hurriedly helped to play the round: "Don't worry, old man, I will definitely help with this matter and try to minimize the impact." ”
The prince has spoken, and King Shen Jun can't say anything more, "Act, the marriage has been agreed, what should you do." Ah Ruan, accompany me and your grandmother for a walk. ”
Lin Ruan should go down.
Xiao Jingchen and the crown prince left with the people.
The countryside is not as smooth as the road in Kyoto, and you can push a wheelchair to walk, and Princess Shen really wanted to go out for a walk and take a look, so Lin Ruan hurriedly asked people to use a chair to transform a chariot and let people carry it to the mountains.
After all, there is nothing to see in the village, and if you want to talk about the scenery, it is better in the mountains.
In particular, King Shen Jun already knew from Shen Tingyu that Lin Ruan had raised two big tigers, so this first stop was naturally Shen Wu Mountain.
When the big tiger and the little tiger appeared in front of the husband and wife of King Shen Jun, the two were shocked fiercely.
King Shen Jun was very bold, and he didn't say hello to Lin Ruan, but he had already touched the back of the big tiger.
It is also thanks to the spirituality of the big tiger, knowing that the people personally led by Lin Ruan are their own people, and they did not show their teeth to the king of Shen County.
King Shen Jun likes the big tiger mother and son so much, it is so much that he can't put it down.
He turned his head to touch Xiaohu, but Xiaohu didn't appreciate his face, so he turned his head and went to find his little friend Xiuxiu.
rubbed Xiuxiu affectionately, and lay on the ground to carry Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu happily ran over, rode on Xiaohu, and patted it gently, "Don't run too fast, I'm afraid of falling." ”
This is the first time she has ridden Xiaohu, and her heart is still a little hairy.
The little tiger was also steady, carrying Xiuxiu slowly, like an obedient foal, which provoked Princess Shen to exclaim again and again, "God, this tiger is too human." ”
Lin Ruan said with a smile: "They do have spirituality, grandmother, the road up the mountain is not easy to walk, and it is uncomfortable to sit in the chariot, or I will let the big tiger carry you." ”
Princess Shen waved her hand again and again, riding a tiger, she really didn't even dare to dream of such a thing, "I'm so heavy, beware of crushing the big tiger again." ”
Lin Ruan patted the big tiger with a smile: "Grandmother, don't worry, the big tiger has a lot of strength." Even carrying an adult man is not a problem. ”
King Shen Jun was eager to try, "If you don't ride, I can let the big tiger carry me." ”
Princess Shen glared at him, "You don't look at your own size, so you bully other people's big tigers and can't speak." ”
After that, he reached out and touched the cat-like tame tiger, "You carry me for a while, if you are tired, you stop, let's rest while walking." ”
The big tiger nodded obediently, lay on the ground, and waited for Princess Shen.
Princess Shen, supported by Lin Ruan and King Shen Jun, sat on the back of the big tiger, and couldn't help but sigh: "I really never dreamed that I would be able to sit on the back of the tiger in my life." It's the wronged tiger, the king of beasts came to carry me, an old woman. ”
Lin Ruan smiled: "The big tiger is very happy. ”
She had just asked for the consent of the big tiger in advance before proposing to let Princess Shen ride the big tiger.
Big Tiger is her partner, and she definitely won't force Big Tiger to do things she doesn't like to do. The big tiger "said" to her that she liked the breath on Princess Shen's body very much, and it was very peaceful and peaceful.
King Shen looked at Princess Shen, who kept "communicating" with the big tiger all the way, not to mention how jealous he was.
What man doesn't like to conquer beasts, if he can ride the tiger once, he will see his fellows in the future.
It's a pity that the big tiger is not uncommon.
Regarding this matter, Dahu's explanation to Lin Ruan later was that it was because the murderous aura on King Shen Jun's body was too heavy, which made him feel uneasy. It is already good to be able to control yourself from attacking King Shen Jun.
Including Xiaohu, Xiaohu was even more resistant to the approach of King Shen Jun.
After knowing the reason, Lin Ruan couldn't cry or laugh.
Her grandfather's wish to ride would not come true.
