As soon as he arrived at the door, Ye Lingwu saw an orderly group of people coming to the corridor over there, led by a tall hat, wearing a dark red brocade robe, wrapped in a cotton coat, and holding a scroll in his hand.

As they walked all the way, the maids bowed and saluted.

When Jiang Lanshu saw this, she hurriedly pulled Ye Lingwu into her seat, and didn't tell why, when Ye Lingwu knelt down and sat down, and was about to ask, the group stepped into the room.

"Little Marquis Shen, eldest princess Jiayi, congratulations, congratulations!"

The person holding the scroll at the front spoke in a sharp and penetrating voice, like a woman's voice, but it was much more difficult to hear than a woman.

His appearance instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room, and Qin Mingyu, who was sitting on the top, saw him, and hurriedly got up and stepped forward slowly, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, why are you here." ”

Father-in-law? Ye Lingwu suddenly realized, no wonder the voice was strange, she had heard "father-in-law" in Yuzhou before, and it was the first time she saw it today, but she didn't expect this father-in-law to look so white, and his skin was smoother than a woman.

The visitors more or less cast their eyes, and some were even ready to salute and stopped the jade chopsticks in their hands.

Gonggong Wan smiled and said, "...... In addition to coming to congratulate our family, we also came to the Ningbei Hou Mansion to announce the decree in accordance with the will of the Holy God. Eldest Princess Jiayi, Shen Xiaohou, and everyone here, please receive the order, right? ”

Shen Zhan got up and walked slowly, Shen Chongwen in the second room, and the Zhao family also stepped forward and knelt down, and the guests on both sides bent their upper bodies deeply.

Seeing this, even if Ye Lingwu didn't understand etiquette anymore, he understood what to do now, so he quickly got up and knelt down again, and gave a heavy salute.

Although Shen Ci knelt, he did not bend his upper body deeply like the crowd, but just put his hands in front of his forehead and straightened his back.

Wan Gonggong pinched his throat and preached: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, Shen Zhan, the Marquis of Ningbei, finds the lost ordnance in Jincheng, captures Fan Kun who secretly communicates with the enemy country, and makes a first-class meritorious service, and is specially awarded the general of the Zhuguo State, and the reward is ten thousand taels of gold.

The visitors looked at each other darkly, exchanging glances with unknown meaning. This Ningbei Hou Mansion is now a sky-high wealth and monstrous power.

"Minister Shen Zhan, the order." Shen Shen Zhan's tone was unwavering.

"Jiayi eldest princess Qin Mingyu, leader!" Qin Mingyu's smile deepened.

Gonggong Fang handed the holy decree to Shen Ci's hands, and after the holy decree ceremony was completed, everyone stood up.

Shen Pan'er took the lead and ran over and said, "Congratulations to the eldest brother to the general of the Zhu Kingdom, and congratulations to the eldest aunt to seal the first rank of Mrs. Fate!" ”

Some people came first, and others followed.

"Congratulations to Xiao Marquis Shen, he is already a general of the Zhu Kingdom at a young age, and he is even more powerful than your father."

"Congratulations to Marquis Shen, you are the first general of the Pillar Kingdom since the founding of my dynasty!"

"Congratulations to the eldest princess Jiayi for her fate!"

“……”

There's a circle over there.

Ye Lingwu was at a loss, hesitating whether to step forward to congratulate, but he couldn't step over the hurdle in his heart for a long time.

The voice of Shen Zhan giving her a death order in her dream can shiver when she thinks about it now.

Not only him, but Qin Mingyu's reaction when he saw her for the first time outside the Hou Mansion that day was indifferent...... With a hint of disgust?

Whether it was or not, Ye Lingwu could be sure that Qin Mingyu would not want to see her, since this was the case, he would not go up to make people suspicious.

Well, that's right, just make a good background.

Ye Lingwu was intoxicated with self-persuasion, but she didn't want everyone's eyes to follow Shen Zhan to her.

The top of her head suddenly darkened, Ye Lingwu slowly raised her head, and saw Shen Zhan looking at her condescendingly, and the people behind him were also looking at her.

There are surprises, doubts, jealousy, and dissatisfaction......

In front of everyone's eyes, Ye Lingwu followed Shen Zhan out of Begonia Zhai.

said that there was something to tell, but it was inconvenient to disclose the specific things to everyone, so I moved to the sidelines.

When I got out of the house, the cold wind poured into my collar, and the lantern on the porch was much darker than before, and the candles inside were about to burn out.

Ye Lingwu followed Shen Zhan unhurriedly, and when she entered the side hall, Shen Zhan had already sat down on the soft couch.

Ye Lingwu was puzzled, and stepped forward lightly: "I don't know what Master Hou wants to say to me?" ”

Shen Zhan lowered his eyes, and there was no expression on his face. He raised his hand, his slender fingers picked out a jade pendant from the sleeve of his green coat, and said quietly: "Can you complain that today's decree has no credit for you?" ”

Ye Lingwu was stunned, only feeling that this question was a little confused. She did help Shen Zhan break the predicament, but then she thought about it for a long time, in fact, no matter whether she helped or not, Fan Kun couldn't escape.

It's just that the results are ahead of schedule.

Because she still remembers the scene after passing the Fushou Pass on the third day, three majestic ships surrounded the building.

The Shenzi flag flies in the sea breeze.

This was the first time she had seen the majesty of Shen Zhan, Marquis of Ningbei.

Admiration, proximity and fear.

For so long in the future, if she really breaks her mind and commits some unforgivable mistake, such a person will take her life like crushing an ant, silently.

Shen Zhanwu played with the jade pendant in his hand, his long fingers were carved like jade, and he was cultivated like green bamboo, he didn't seem to be in a hurry to get an answer, and it took a long time to hear a young female voice break the silence.

"I didn't complain."

Shen Zhan lazily raised the long eyebrows of the yin owl and said, "Why? ”

Ye Lingwu said truthfully: "I think highly of myself and underestimate Master Hou. If I had known it was you, I wouldn't have played a trick. ”

Shen Zhan didn't speak for a long time, and then said: "I still remember what you said to me on the boat, innocent and honest, unwilling, unwilling to turn a blind eye, don't you think your current words contradict before?" ”

“……”

Ye Lingwu was asked by this, and his mind went blank, as if whatever he said was wrong.

couldn't figure it out, so he simply said: "Ling Wu doesn't understand what Master Hou means, you asked me to move here, is that what you ask?" ”

Shen Zhan raised his eyes, quite indescribable. This cousin's little temper is coming?

Ye Lingwu pretended not to know that he was looking at her, and just stared at the pair of embroidered shoes under her feet and counted how many tiny white beads were inlaid with them.

One hundred and nine, she counted dozens of times, and she couldn't be wrong.

"This is the jade pendant that the Holy One has given you," Shen Zhan stretched out the jade pendant in his hand towards her, "You didn't say 'you lost the ancestral jade pendant', and the Holy One will give you one." Shen Zhan's jade-like handsome face was full of playfulness.

！！！！！！！

He knows, he knows everything.

Ye Lingwu was stunned, his round eyes were clear and bright, and his eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars, glowing with Lingling starlight.

"Holy ...... Holy gift... Given to me? Ye Lingwu stammered.

Shen Zhan stood up and walked towards her, the candlelight shone on his tall body, but the shadow fell on Ye Lingwu, and the oppression that belonged to a high-ranking person hit him.

He said, "Take it." ”

Ye Lingwu frowned, slowly took the jade pendant with both hands, and asked later: "The sage is a gift, I ...... Shall I kneel? ”

Somewhat dumbfounded.

Shen Zhan hooked the corners of his mouth, walked past her and walked out of the house, "Hurry up and go back to the table." ”

Several lanterns on the corridor were extinguished, Shen Zhan walked in the dark night, the surroundings were pitch black, and Ye Lingwu still followed not far behind, keeping the most appropriate distance.

In fact, he wanted to hand over the jade pendant to Ye Lingwu in the carriage this morning, but after seeing her deliberate alienation, he inexplicably didn't want to give it easily.

But just now, everyone gathered around to congratulate, but she lowered her head and didn't move, Shen Zhan had to admit that his heart was suffocated for a moment.

After all, he risked life and death to pay, but he didn't get any awards, so whoever is afraid will be disappointed.

That's why he asked Ye Lingwu to come out alone and speak regardless of everyone's presence, this was the first time he had the intention of comforting a woman.

At this moment, Ye Lingwu didn't know Shen Zhan's thoughts at all, his eyes were all on the jade pendant in his hand, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

If my grandfather knew that she had received a gift from the king, he would be proud of her.
