Chapter 31: Marriage
The girl Shen that Empress Dowager Lu said was obviously not Shen Li, as for why Si Yan pulled her into the water, Shen Li didn't have time to think.
However, as long as Shen Li had a brain, he would not refute Si Yan's words in this hall.
Shen Li stood up, saluted respectfully, and replied dryly.
"Yes."
She didn't say much, and others only thought she was shy.
Zou Yuan had no impression of Shen Li at all, and he had never heard of Si Yan knowing her.
But in any case, the marriage decree has been decided.
"General Si has been stationed at the border for many years, and it's time to get married, since you are both in love, I will make the decision to marry you today."
When Empress Dowager Lu heard that this was completely beyond her expectations, her eyes were a little flustered, and she said hurriedly.
"Marriage matters, we still need to think about it in the long run, or ......"
Zou Yuan raised his hand and pressed it on Empress Dowager Lu's arm, looking unhurried or impatient.
"Didn't the queen mother say it just now, General Si is not young, the two are happy, the beauty of adults, sooner rather than later!"
Empress Dowager Lu heard Zou Yuan blocking her with what she had just said, and her face turned blue.
Zou Yuan struck while the iron was hot, and directly sent the eunuch to send pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and with a stroke of his pen, he directly issued a holy decree at the scene of the flower-viewing banquet.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, I heard that Shen Li, the daughter of An Dingbo, is skilled and generous, with outstanding appearance, and General Wei Si Yan has meritorious service in protecting the country and chaos, and is early enough to marry.
In order to become a beautiful woman, Shen Li Xu married Si Yan as his wife, and chose a good day to get married.
Chin this. ”
After the decree was read, Zou Yuan said.
"It's inconvenient for General Si to accept the order, so Miss Shen will thank you on your behalf."
Shen Li knew that it was time for her to appear, and she caught a glimpse of Zhong Ning, who looked frightened and didn't know what was going on, and her heart was in a mess.
Under the eyes of everyone, she stepped forward without hesitation, and her mood seemed to be heavier than going to the guillotine.
Shen Li stepped forward to receive the order, and when she turned around, Si Yan had already reached the center of the main hall, and she knelt beside Si Yan and thanked him together.
"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
……
Shen Li didn't know how he walked back to his seat.
As soon as she sat down, the hem of her clothes was grabbed by Zhong Ning, who leaned in front of her, tried to keep her face calm, and said to her in a very low voice.
"Li'er, do you know that person, why did you suddenly give marriage?"
Zhong Ning's hands were trembling, she didn't know what Shen Li had in touch with that General Si, she hadn't even seen Si Yan's face.
Where do you come from!
Shen Li's palm was weakly placed on the table and replied.
"It's a long story, I'll talk to you about it when I get back."
Zhong Ning also knew that the current occasion was not suitable for talking, so he only looked at it and didn't ask any more questions.
Above the main hall, the singing and dancing continued, raising a glass and drinking, and suddenly, Shen Li even felt that the marriage just now was an illusion.
The people around him cast an inquiring gaze from time to time, and the meaning was obvious, probably wondering how these two people got together.
Shen Li's plan to be invisible fell through, and it is estimated that tomorrow, the news that she and Si Yan are going to marry will spread all over the streets and alleys of the capital.
…
In the second half of the flower-viewing banquet, Shen Li had been absent-minded.
Until the banquet dispersed, Shen Li saw Si Yan go out, she drank all the fruit wine in her hand, and turned back to Zhong Ning.
"Mother, you wait for me outside the palace gate, and I'll look for you later."
After finishing speaking, Shen Li ignored Zhong Ning's reaction and chased straight out.
