Chapter VIII Delay in Marriage

What the hell is this King Meng Yuanheng? Shen Qianmo was really depressed, why did she just find a way to withdraw from a family business, and came again so soon. Can't you let yourself be a quiet older leftover girl?

Luzhu and Mama Xu were very happy to learn that the emperor had given the marriage, and when they heard that the object of the marriage was Queen Xuan, they suddenly looked like frosted eggplants - wilted, with a bitter gourd face, as if they had eaten Coptis chinensis.

"What's the matter, could it be that there is something wrong with this Xuan King?" Shen Qianmo asked puzzled. She searched the memories of the original owner and found that the two had never crossed paths, and there was no information about King Xuan. It's no wonder that the original owner originally lived a life of ignoring things outside the window and only wanting to live in peace, and she couldn't ask how much she knew about current affairs and politics.

"Miss, it's not a problem, it's a big problem!" Lu Zhu said with a worried face: "This Xuan King is not only crippled in his legs, but I heard that he is also ...... Also ...... "Green bamboo has been supporting me for a long time, but I still can't say it."

Mama Xu sighed beside her, and then said, "Miss, it is rumored that King Xuan is not only disabled in both legs, but also inhumane. ”

Inhumane? Shen Qianmo couldn't accept this word, digested it in his mind, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, even the dignified prince couldn't be humane to know such a private thing, the gossip ability of the people in the capital was really extraordinary.

Thinking of this, she chuckled and said, "Isn't that great?" ”

Very good? What's so good? King Xuan can't be humane, marrying is equivalent to being a widow, so it's good? Luzhu and Mama Xu stared at their young lady with wide eyes, thinking: Miss shouldn't be scared stupid, right? Also, since that fire, Miss's performance has not been normal, could it be that the fire hurt not only Miss's face, but also burned her brain?

Shen Qianmo looked at the dumbfounded expressions of the two of them, secretly laughed, and said, "Don't worry, your young lady knows it in her heart, and it will be fine." ”

As the object of his future marriage, Shen Qianmo made a special inquiry about King Xuan and his people, and felt more and more that the old emperor, the object of marriage, was exactly what she wanted, but it would be better if he didn't give marriage.

Xuanwangfu can be described as famous in the Dasheng Dynasty, the former Xuanwang and the former Xuanwang are all heroes admired by the people of the world, who fought against foreign enemies all their lives, defended the country, and repelled countless invasions of small border countries such as Beidi and Xiliang. It's a pity that they both died young, neither of them lived past the age of 40, and when the former Xuan Wang died on the battlefield, the current Xuan Wang Meng Yuanheng was only 16 years old.

Xuan Wangfu is thin, a few years after the death of the previous Xuan Wang, the former Xuan Princess also died of depression, and then Meng Yuanheng has been supporting the entire Xuan Wangfu family business with a sick and weak body, 7 years ago.

Regarding the battle 7 years ago, the people of the capital are still embarrassed to talk about it.

At that time, the 300,000 troops of Beidi invaded the border and captured three cities in a month. If the Zhengyang Pass is broken, the Beidi army can drive straight into Kyoto. The former King Xuan was ordered to lead an army of 100,000 to support Zhengyang Pass, and within 10 days, he forced the enemy back for 30 miles and recaptured 2 cities. However, when attacking Jingzhou City, he encountered the enemy's plot, was seriously wounded, and was in danger.

Meng Yuanheng rushed to the battlefield alone to save his father and drove the Beidi army out of the border, but when he returned to the dynasty, he only brought back the ashes of his predecessor King Xuan, and he was also scarred and his legs were crippled. After that, Meng Yuanheng succeeded to the throne of King Xuan, lived in a simple house, avoided guests, and King Xuan's Mansion gradually faded out of people's sight.

Although Shen Qianmo has never seen Meng Yuanheng, in these descriptions, you can still imagine how complacent Meng Yuanheng was before the age of 16 and the scenery is infinite, and how should such a proud son of heaven bear the fact that his legs are crippled and he has become a wasted person?

However, for her, compared to those healthy princes and grandchildren, King Xuan is really a good candidate. Physically handicapped and inhumane? Then I shouldn't marry a lot of concubines and aunts and the like, so I can't make myself upset. Both parents are dead, and the people are thin? Then it shows that the personnel relationship of Xuanwangfu is simple, and you don't need to look at the faces of your in-laws. Cold-hearted and ruthless, indifferent? So does it mean that you have enough freedom in your future married life?

Just when Shen Qianmo was secretly making his own little calculations, another news came: King Xuan asked for a decree, due to his ill health, he had not yet recovered, and asked the emperor to allow him to delay the marriage for one year, and if his body recovered after one year, he would complete the marriage according to the decree.

Xuanwangfu said so, and Emperor Mingde could only approve it. King Xuan's illness is well known, he did not directly refuse to marry but only postponed the marriage, which is already enough to give the emperor face, and Emperor Mingde naturally knows the truth of accepting it when he sees it.

When Shen Qianmo heard the news, she couldn't help but give King Xuan a thumbs up. Look at what people say about this level, if the body still does not recover after a year, the marriage date can naturally be delayed, after all, no one can guarantee when King Xuan's body will recover, and to what extent he can get married.

Since King Xuan is so "sympathetic" to her, she naturally wants to appreciate it. It's just that other people don't necessarily think so, such as Cui Shi and Shen Qianxue. Because Shen Qianxue is about to marry into King Rong's mansion, the mother and daughter have become more and more rampant recently. Now seeing that Shen Qianmo can't even look down on her as a crippled and down-and-out prince, and deliberately delays the marriage, I don't know how many times I have laughed at her openly and secretly, and her arrogance in front of Shen Qianmo has become more and more arrogant.

Shen Yi'an didn't care about King Xuan's delay in marriage, and he didn't care much about this eldest daughter's affairs, anyway, the emperor's decree to marry had been issued, and King Xuan's mansion would come to marry sooner or later, and it would make no difference to him a year earlier or a year later.

Although Old Madam Shen probably guessed King Xuan's thoughts, she was still a little jealous of King Xuan's mansion, so she could only wait and see what happened.

Shen Qianmo herself was light-hearted, as if the protagonist of this incident was not herself, but when she saw Shen Yi'an that day, she asked him that now that her marriage had been decided, could the dowry left by her own mother be handed over to her for safekeeping. She remembered that Xie's last words were to hand over the dowry to Shen Qianmo and Lu that year, and now that she is 18 years old, it stands to reason that Cui's should have handed it over a long time ago.

Speaking of this, Shen Yi'an also has an impression. So he called Cui's and asked her to transfer the list of dowries left by Xie to Shen Qianmo along with the dowry in the warehouse.
