Chapter 247: I'm Your Second Sister-in-law
"I'm not married!" Princess Zhaohua shouted loudly: "If I can't see Shen Yunlan today, I won't leave!" β
As soon as she was excited, her hands began to tremble, and the dagger held in the palm of her hand trembled, and the sharp tip of the dagger almost cut through the neck and chin that was as smooth as snow......
Father-in-law Zhang and the others, as well as the onlookers outside, all looked sweaty, and Father-in-law Zhang didn't dare to say it anymore, but kept begging: "Princess, you can't do this!" Your Majesty will be furious when he finds out about this......"
"Since this princess has done this, will she still be afraid of her father's reproach?" When Princess Zhaohua heard this, she smiled sarcastically, her eyes full of desperation.
Old Mrs. Shen knelt in the gate of the Shen family with a gloomy face, looking at this crazy and noisy princess, and was a little worried in her heart - what should I do to be decent and send this princess away without offending anyone?
Oh, my God! It's so hard!
Naturally, they didn't dare to offend the princess directly, but they couldn't let Shen Yunlan come out to see the princess, not to mention that Shen Yunlan didn't return home at all.
"Quick, call someone to inform the Second Highness, and the eldest young master." Mama Zhou whispered on the side.
Unexpectedly, this was heard by Mrs. Shen, she immediately turned her head to look at Mama Zhou, shook her head and said: "Don't ask someone to go to the Second Prince's Mansion, this matter can't make Nianzhen girl embarrassed, this is originally the Shen family's business!" Yunlan can't come back either. β
"Then, old lady......" Mama Zhou was stunned when she heard this.
"Inform the boss and tell him to come back quickly." Old Lady Shen sighed and said, "After all, he is the head of the family, and if there is such a big matter in the family, naturally he can only rely on him to solve it." β
There's nothing wrong with that.
Mama Zhou nodded immediately when she heard this, and then turned around and ordered.
At the same time, in the palace.
Shen Yunlan knelt in front of the emperor and begged the emperor to send someone to take Princess Zhaohua away and not to harass his family, Shen Yunlan was a big man, but his eyes were red and he had a sad and worried expression.
"Shen Yunlan, don't you really like Zhaohua at all?" Seeing his daughter being so disliked, the emperor felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Shen Yunlan was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is already engaged, has a fiancΓ©e, and the princess is also engaged, and she will get married tomorrow. Otherwise, wouldn't that be a brute? β
What do you say......
Why does it sound so swearing?
The emperor glared at him, suddenly sighed, and asked a different question: "If the empress didn't stop you at the beginning, and I agreed to marry Zhaohua to you, would you be willing to marry her?" β
"Yes." This time, Shen Yunlan replied without hesitation.
"Oh? Willing? I thought you would say you wouldn't say no. The Emperor was slightly surprised.
"The princess is delicate and cute, she has a real temperament, and the minister is not blind, why don't you like it." Shen Yunlan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's just that the minister is self-aware, and he will never think about things that don't belong to him in the first place, this is the minister's tutor." β
These words are very meaningful.
The emperor couldn't see through Shen Yunlan more and more, and his anger was suddenly extinguished by Shen Yunlan's words.
"It's not your fault that this matter was originally done, it was Zhaohua who was too willful and actually did such a humiliating thing." The emperor sighed slightly, looked at Shen Yunlan and slowly asked, "Shen Yunlan, what are you going to let me do?" β
"It's up to Your Majesty." Shen Yunlan replied respectfully when he heard this.
"Then I'll let people cancel tomorrow's wedding, let Zhaohua marry you as his wife, and let Miss Zhu be your side room, how about it?" The emperor said jokingly.
"Your Majesty! Never! I can't afford it! When Shen Yunlan heard this, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his face.
"The minister has been engaged to Xiuyan for more than half a year, the two families have many contacts, in the minister's heart, she is the minister's wife, Princess Zhaohua is very good, and the golden branches and jade leaves, she deserves a better person, please forgive the minister! The minister didn't want to be a negative man. β
"Don't want to be negative? Then why did Zhaohua make trouble for you? Is this what you are responsible for? The emperor sneered when he heard this.
"Is it true that if all the women in the world like the ministers, the ministers must be responsible and marry them all?" Shen Yunlan replied: "Your Majesty doesn't need to be angry, the minister is just an analogy, the queen mother warned the minister, and asked the minister not to have delusions about Princess Zhaohua, the minister has always regarded the queen's words as a golden rule, and I remember it until now, and I dare not forget it all the time, and now Your Majesty said so, the minister ...... I really don't know what to do! β
As he spoke, he knelt down.
actually took out the queen's original words as an excuse, and the emperor was scolded and had nothing to say.
He frowned and thought for a while, feeling that this matter could no longer be left alone, Zhaohua was his daughter, a golden branch and jade leaf, what did he look like kneeling in front of the gate of the Shen family! At present, we must get people back to the palace as soon as possible! Then everything will be easy to say......
As for the Jiang family...... Who can take care of the Jiang family now!
"Okay, I will give you a chance, you will go back now, personally persuade Zhaohua to return to the palace, I will spare you and the Shen family, and forgive you for your innocence." The Emperor said.
This is ridiculous!
Director Zhaohua is reckless and defies the condemnation of the world, what is wrong with the Shen family! The Shen family is innocent from beginning to end! β
This is the imperial power, even if the princess makes a mistake, it is the fault of the courtiers!
Shen Yunlan's face did not change when he heard this, and he immediately refused: "Your Majesty, no, Weichen just didn't want to face Princess Zhaohua, so he specially entered the palace to make amends to Your Majesty." β
In other words, if he was willing to face Zhaohua, why did he still come here!
"You actually refused directly?" The emperor was taken aback when he heard this, and his face couldn't help but show a trace of anger.
"Yes." Shen Yunlan replied when he heard this: "Because Weichen knows that once Weichen appears in person, then the scene will be even more difficult to control." β
The emperor was silent.
Indeed, what is Zhaohua making such a big battle for? It's just to see Shen Yunlan! See what he does? must have forced him to agree to turn off his relationship with the Zhu family and marry her instead! If Shen Yunlan didn't agree, would Zhaohua be willing to return to the palace? Isn't it going to be even more complicated then?
"No, you can't go."
The emperor frowned tightly when he heard this, and said, "Then who should be sent?" β
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be sent." Shen Yunlan replied when he heard this: "After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the brother of Princess Zhaohua, and the relationship between the two is also deeper, if he persuades him, Zhaohua will definitely be afraid." β
The prince is here, which means that the emperor is there.
No matter how crazy and crazy Princess Zhaohua is, she has to be measured, unless she really wants to completely lose the emperor's heart.
The emperor was silent for a moment, then called over a palace man and ordered: "You go to the East Palace to see what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing at the moment." β
As soon as the words fell, the voice of the palace people sounded outside: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is asking to see you outside!" β
The emperor waved his hand: "Call him in!" β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Soon, the prince wearing a yellow python robe hurriedly walked in from outside, and said while greeting him: "Father! Something happened to Zhaohua! She was about to get married, and the Shen family still refused to give up, and actually forced her to kneel outside the gate......"
As soon as the words fell, the prince saw Shen Yunlan kneeling beside him.
Shen Yunlan looked at the prince who was beating a rake with a smile, and snorted coldly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this news is really well-informed!" β
In front of the emperor, he didn't say anything nasty.
The crown prince was furious, without the emperor's orders, he suddenly stood up and walked in front of Shen Yunlan, raised his foot and kicked him in the chest: "You bastard still dare to come to see your father!" Isn't it enough for your Shen family to harm Zhaohua! What else do you want to do! β
"Prince! Stop it! β
The emperor didn't expect the prince to do it without saying a word, and he was immediately a little angry: "It was Zhaohua who ran to kneel outside the gate of the Shen family by herself, who can force her to do it?" Where did you get the news? What a mistake! β
The prince actually knew the truth for a long time, but he deliberately said it in front of the emperor, and immediately knelt down respectfully when he heard the words, and then honestly admitted his mistake: "What my father said is very true, and his sons know their mistakes." β
Seeing that his attitude was sincere, the expression on his face softened slightly, and he coughed lightly at the moment, and said, "Zhaohua is not like talking like this, so let's do it, the prince, you personally take someone to the door of the Shen family and bring her back." β
"Huh?" Want him to go?
The prince was taken aback when he heard this.
"What? That's your own sister, you don't want to go? The emperor's eyes were cold when he heard this.
"No, since it's my sister's business, Erchen naturally did his best to die." When the prince heard this, he hurriedly spoke: "But what did the son do?" What if my sister doesn't listen to persuasion and refuses to come back? Did the retainers tie her up and bring her back? β
"That's right! Bring people back! No more shame! The Emperor nodded.
"That'...... All right. The prince reluctantly agreed.
"However, you can't hurt the Shen family." The emperor added.
When the prince heard this, his eyes were raised, and he was about to answer, but at this time, someone from the palace hurriedly rushed in to report: "Your Majesty! Prince, Princess Zhaohua took out a dagger in front of the Shen family! Personally against your neck! Threatened that if he didn't see Commander Xiao Shen today, he wouldn't leave if he died! β
"Shen Yunlan! What the hell did you do! Zhaohua has become what it is today! It's all your fault! Your Shen family is harmed! When the prince heard this, he immediately turned his head and glared angrily at Shen Yunlan.
It's as if the reason why Princess Zhaohua did this was forced by Shen Yunlan.
But the conscience of heaven and earth, Shen Yunlan is the person in this world who hopes that Princess Zhaohua will put down the knife and go as far as she goes!
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen has been in the government all day today, and he has not left a step." Shen Yunlan said with an innocent face: "I have never taken the initiative to provoke Princess Zhaohua, every time I get the news that the princess is around there, I will take a detour and leave secretly, and try to retreat, what do you want Weichen to do?" It's better to be like this, Wechen is willing to advance the marriage date by a few months, hurry up and get married, and then Your Majesty will release Weichen out of Beijing! Wechen is willing to take his wife to the local office. β
As he spoke, he knelt down.
The emperor was taken aback when he heard this, looked at Shen Yunlan in disbelief and said, "Shen Aiqing, you ...... Are you going out of Beijing? β
"Yes." Shen Yunlan nodded when he heard this: "Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother think that the reason why Princess Zhaohua has become what she is today is because of Weichen, then Weichen naturally has no face to stay in Shangjing anymore, in order to make the princess and Niangniang live comfortably, Weichen is willing to go to other places to experience." Shen Yunlan's voice was steady, and he could see that he was very calm.
These words are definitely not a temporary intention, but have been planned in my heart for a long time.
The Emperor was surprised.
Because although he was very angry about today's farce, he had no intention of punishing Shen Yunlan, nor did he mean to send him out of Beijing.
But now, it seems that Shen Yunlan himself really wants to leave Shangjing.
The so-called can't be provoked, hide, is that what it means?
The emperor saw a little helplessness in Shen Yunlan's expression.
He himself is very helpless! Shen Yunlan is really a very good and promising young man, he likes such a vigorous force, and he doesn't want Shen Yunlan to leave Shangjing.
However, this is almost the key to solving this problem.
"Yes, I promise you." The emperor thought for a while, nodded and agreed: "Your marriage can be advanced, and the appointment of leaving Beijing can also be considered later, the most important thing at the moment is, who do you want to go to the gate of the Shen family to persuade Princess Zhaohua back?" β
After speaking, the emperor's eyes slowly glanced at the crown prince and Shen Yunlan.
The prince was embarrassed and resistant.
And Shen Yunlan, in addition to a touch of helplessness, there is also a touch of unbearable.
If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to let Princess Zhaohua get off the stage in person.
"Alright, let's go to the prince." When the emperor saw Shen Yunlan's gaze, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and immediately turned his head to the prince and said: "After all, you are Zhaohua's brother, and you are the prince of this Great Zhou, Zhaohua must listen to you, so you can go." β
"But...... Zhaohua was so stubborn, she said that if she wanted to see Commander Xiao Shen, she must see it. Hearing this, the prince hesitated and said: "Father, it's really not that the son deliberately shirks, but that you and I know her character!" If it weren't for Shen Yunlan to go, who would be able to persuade her? β
What the prince said was not unreasonable.
Princess Zhaohua has always been a stubborn person, and sometimes the emperor can't do anything about her.
"Then ...... The two of you go together. The Emperor finally said.
"Yes, Father." The prince happily agreed, and immediately stood up from the ground, looked at Shen Yunlan and said, "Little Commander Shen, let's go with the palace!" Thank you for your hard work today. β
Shen Yunlan hesitated a little when he heard this.
"Let's go, let's go!" At this time, as soon as the crown prince stretched out his hand, he grabbed his arm, forcibly dragged him out, and said in an inaudible voice from the perspective that the emperor could not see: "You don't want this palace to have a conflict with the people of the Shen family, right?" β
This is a threat to him!
Shen Yunlan slowly raised his head and glanced at the prince, and then nodded in agreement: "Okay, with His Royal Highness the prince, Weichen is very pleased." β
With that, the two of them saluted the emperor together, and then withdrew.
In the main hall, the emperor saw the back of the two people leaving, he breathed a sigh of relief, and was very relieved in his heart, although the prince was a little mediocre on weekdays, but at the critical moment, he was still kind-hearted! And there are wrists, it is very suitable for such a person to be an emperor.
And out of the palace, the prince who was sitting in the carriage was single-mindedly trying to figure out how to push Shen Yunlan out to resist Zhaohua without a trace, and Shen Yunlan would solve the matter, and he would take the benefits.
The abacus is wonderful.
But unfortunately, when the carriage arrived in front of the Shen family, it heard a noise, and then the crowd of onlookers was very excited.
The prince didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly called someone to come forward to investigate.
"Your Highness! It's the second princess! She was in front of the Shen family, in front of everyone, pulling Princess Zhaohua's hair! Teach her that she shouldn't play with something as dangerous as a knife, and say that if she is injured, how to explain it to the emperor......"
Shen Nianzhen! How did she come!
The prince was taken aback when he heard this.
However, there were too many onlookers in front of him, he glanced back at Shen Yunlan behind him, and immediately ordered the guards to separate the crowd, he wanted to step forward to see what was going on.
The crowd quickly dispersed.
The prince's carriage was able to reach the gate of the Shen family, and before he got out of the car, he heard Shen Nianzhen's voice raise his voice: "What if you are a princess?" I'm still your second sister-in-law! Why, the elders can't teach you a lesson? What's more, as a princess, you kneel to the sky, kneel to your parents, kneel to Your Majesty, what's the matter with kneeling here! And the knife in your hand! What if something happens! How do I go and explain to Your Majesty! β
This was followed by Princess Zhaohua's burst of crying: "Don't worry about me!" What kind of second sister-in-law are you-"
Princess Zhaohua didn't admit Shen Nianzhen's identity!
"Huh, huh? I am the second princess of Your Majesty who personally gave the marriage decree, and your second brother carried a sedan chair into the second prince's mansion, why is it not your second sister-in-law? Hearing this, Shen Nianzhen looked condescendingly at Princess Zhaohua, who was almost collapsed, and said sarcastically: "When you say that, are you questioning Your Majesty?" Then I'm going to go and talk to you in front of Your Majesty. β
How could Princess Zhaohua confront Shen Nianzhen in front of the emperor? Obviously, she ignored the one who didn't care, so she wouldn't humiliate herself!
Princess Zhaohua ignored Shen Nianzhen, and just kept repeating: "I want to see Shen Yunlan!" I won't leave today without her! β
"Shen Yunlan is here!" The prince immediately shouted loudly.
"What? Where is he? When Princess Zhaohua heard this, she immediately turned her head excitedly.
As a result, the prince's side was empty, where was Shen Yunlan's figure?
