CHAPTER XX

When Shen Zhongchen returned to the Shen Mansion with the marriage decree, everyone gathered around.

"Seventh brother, did the emperor really give you the lady of the house?" When Shen Zhongyu heard the news, he felt that he had been pranked.

"Yes, big brother." Shen Zhongchen spread out the holy decree he received, allowing Shen Zhongyu to appreciate it.

He didn't mean to show off, but he could marry Fang Siqi as his wife, which was something he didn't even dare to dream of. He simply wanted to share his joy with everyone.

Shen Zhongyu looked at the holy decree and read it out word by word: Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: I heard that Fang Siqi, the second daughter of Shaobaofang Mingyu, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance, and I and the queen are very happy to hear it. Shen Zhongchen, the seventh son of the Captain's Mansion in the Western Regions, should choose a virtuous woman to match when he is suitable for marriage. In the boudoir, the seven sons of the Shen family can be called made in heaven and earth, and in order to become a beautiful woman, they are specially matched to the seven sons of the Shen family. All etiquette will be handled jointly by the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. ”

Shen Zhongyu's voice reading the holy decree did not shy away from anyone, and the Shen family members present all gasped when they heard it.

Shen Zhongyu was unwilling to read the holy decree again, did he read it wrong just now?

After he repeatedly confirmed that it was Shen Zhongchen, the seventh son of the Shen family, Shen Zhongyu asked from the bottom of his heart, "Seventh brother, did the emperor really marry the second daughter of the Shaobao Mansion to you?" ”

Shen Zhongchen's body couldn't hold it anymore, but he still forced himself to smile at Shen Zhongyu.

"You're a concubine!" After Shen Zhongyu finished speaking, he seemed to feel that he didn't complain hard enough, "Besides, you're still a sick man." ”

Shen Zhongchen was not annoyed, "Speaking of which, the foolish brother can get this good marriage today, thanks to the eldest brother." If you hadn't brought me into the palace today, and left me in Qingzhu Pavilion, I wouldn't have been able to do this family business. ”

When Shen Zhongyu heard this, his intestines were full of regret.

I heard that the young lady of Yuan Shangshufu wanted to calculate a person, and there would be benefits to be taken after the matter was completed, so Shen Zhongyu volunteered to push Shen Zhongchen out.

Who let him be a sick man and even won the appreciation of Lord Yan, Shen Zhongyu had long been jealous of his brother-in-law and went crazy.

originally thought that Shen Zhongchen would be crippled if he didn't die today, but he didn't expect that he didn't wait for the news of his death, but instead made him the fast son-in-law of the Shaobao Mansion.

Who in the capital doesn't know that Fang Siqi, the second daughter of Shaobao Mansion, is deeply favored by the queen's mother, and her maternal grandfather is still An Guogong of the current dynasty, and if she is involved, Shen Zhongchen's future life will be smooth.

Shen Zhongyu regretted it, he knew that he should have stayed in Qingzhu Pavilion today.

People from all over the Shen Mansion surrounded Shen Zhongchen, wanting to ask for more details about the marriage given.

Mrs. Shen couldn't get used to seeing her concubine in charge, so she said unhappily, "Okay, it's just that I've been married, and if there's anything to ask, it's all gone." ”

If Fang Siqi entered the door, then Shen Zhongchen would have to crush Zhongyu. Mrs. Shen has been in charge of the Western Regions Captain's Mansion for many years, and Master Shen has not returned to Beijing at the border all the year round, and no one in the mansion dares to say no to Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen was anxious about her future status in the mansion. No, I must mess up this marriage.

Just as Shen Zhongchen was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Mrs. Shen, who was about to enter the house to rest, and said, "Madam, the emperor also said today that after the wedding date is set, he will summon his father back to Beijing to report on his work, just to attend Zhongchen's wedding." ”

Mrs. Shen's face froze, "In this way, the emperor attaches great importance to this family matter." ”

"Yes, the emperor loves Miss Siqi very much." Shen Zhongchen nodded, "The emperor also gave Miss Siqi the jade pendant he was wearing today. ”

"Oh, really?" Mrs. Shen's expression remained unchanged, "It seems that you are lucky to be able to marry such a young lady." ”

"Borrow the good words of the lady." Shen Zhongchen responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Hmph." Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Zhongchen and left very unhappily.

is just a sick seedling, whether there is the blessing to marry the second daughter of the Fang family into the door. What a!

On the way back to her yard, Xiaoxiao kept pestering Shen Zhongchen, "Seventh brother, is Miss Fang really going to be my sister-in-law?" "Xiaoxiao is Shen Zhongchen's younger sister of the same mother, only one and a half years younger than Shen Zhongchen.

"Yes," talking about Fang Siqi, the corners of Shen Zhongchen's mouth kept rising.

"Great, Seventh Brother, you are seventeen years old this year, and Mrs. has been holding you back from saying goodbye, but now that you are okay, you can finally start a family." Xiaoxiao was very happy after hearing this, "Tell me quickly, what does my future sister-in-law look like?" Have you met her? ”

"Of course she's as beautiful as a fairy." Shen Zhongchen praised it without hesitation.

"So what kind of person is she? Will it be good for you? ”

Shen Zhongchen carefully recalled what happened today, "She is a person with exquisite thoughts. Shen Zhongchen looked at Shen Xiaoxiao, "You, worry less about other things, and wait for the marriage." ”

Shen Xiaoxiao's wedding date has been set, just in November of this year.

"I'm not worried about you!" Xiaoxiao pouted, "Your body is so weak, and your sister-in-law is a high-ranking person, will she dislike you!" ”

"What the hell!" Shen Zhongchen glared at Shen Xiaoxiao, "Your sister-in-law is kind-hearted, so she won't dislike me." ”

Thinking that she would rather risk the anger of the emperor and queen today, but also let the palace maid find a eunuch to support her, Shen Zhongchen was like drinking honey, and his heart was bubbling with sweetness.

However, his body couldn't stand it, so he didn't say a word to Xiaoxiao, and went straight back to the house to rest.

By the time he woke up, it was already dark.

He fumbled out of bed and found that there was still a person sitting in the room.

With the still bright moonlight, Shen Zhongchen took a long time to get used to it before he could see the person clearly, "Lord Yan." ”

Xuanyuan Chen chuckled, "You are quite bold, you are not frightened by this king." ”

Xuanyuan Chen raised his hand, and the entourage who didn't know where to hide immediately lit the light, and the room suddenly became bright.

"Shen Zhongchen, do you know what this king came to you for today?" Xuanyuan Chen looked at Shen Zhongchen playfully.

Shen Zhongchen thought for a while, "The prince is here for the fact that the grass people were given marriage today?" ”

"Not bad." Xuanyuan Chen nodded, "You knew Fang Siqi before?" ”

Shen Zhongchen: "The grass people did hear the rumors of the second daughter of the Fang Mansion before, but the grass people were not fortunate enough to see Miss Siqi's true face. ”

"Then why does Fang Siqi insist on marrying you today?" Xuanyuan Chen asked in wonder, "Do you know," because she fell in love with you at first sight and insisted on marrying you, and now she is still kneeling in the middle palace. ”

Shen Zhongchen's heart tightened after hearing this, "Then Miss Siqi, she... It doesn't matter, right? ”

Shen Zhongchen suddenly felt that he was very powerless, even though he knew Miss Siqi's situation, he couldn't do anything for her.
