"Your Majesty, Xiao'er is not the kind of person who covets beauty, and he doesn't want to covet the blessings of others. The Jiang family has never had the custom of marrying a wife or taking concubines, so it is absolutely impossible to set a precedent from this time. A dignified princess, working with others, say it, if you don't know, don't you think that the Great Zhou is bullying? Your Majesty, this must not be done. ”

Emperor Zhaowu nodded, "Jiang Aiqing's words are very heartfelt. I once issued an edict that officials could only take concubines if they were thirty-five childless. Jiang Lanxi is only a weak crown and has not yet married, how can he be virtuous, how can he sit on the double beauty? Prince Nanzhao, there is no need to mention it at this time, I have a law in the Great Zhou, and officials must be honest and self-disciplined. Several of my emperors have only one wife to accompany them, not even a side concubine, not to mention that Jiang Lanxi is just an official from the fifth grade, this is not good. ”

Emperor Zhaowu said in his heart, even if he can't let it, he loves Shen Xing's sisters like his own daughter, who can allow his son-in-law to prepare another flat wife and concubine room before he gets married?

Prince Nanzhao was unwilling, but he didn't dare to say anything else, so he had to retreat aside.

Prince Gao Li turned his head and smiled at Prince Nanzhao at this time, and then stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to plead with Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Zhaowu immediately came to his senses, and he intuitively felt that today's events were very strange. Right now, this prince Gao Li doesn't know what moth is going to come out, so it's better to be careful. "Aiqing, please speak."

"After the palace banquet yesterday, the minister was wandering on the street, and happened to meet a woman who was teaching the disciples on the street. The minister was very fond of the woman, wanted to marry her as a concubine, and asked His Majesty to fulfill it. Prince Gao Li knelt down and said.

Emperor Zhaowu's eyes widened at that time, the girl that Prince Gao Li said in his mouth, he didn't have to think about it to know which it was, it must be Shen Chen. It's really strange, these two girls have not been proposed, what's going on this year, is it really marriage? No, Shen Chen can't marry Prince Gao Li, and the pearl that the Shen family holds in the palm of his hand must not marry to a place like Gao Li where birds don't lay eggs.

But how do you refuse it? You must know that Shen Chen's reputation in the capital is even louder than Shen Xing, and her marriage is even more difficult to find. Shen Chen has no one to propose, what excuse should he use to veto? "What Aiqing said, I don't know which girl is going on? If it is a woman from an ordinary family, Aiqing will go directly to propose marriage. "There's no way, Emperor Zhaowu can only pretend to be stupid first.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is the sister-in-law of Zhenguo Gong and Yasukuni Gong, the second lady of Guogong Mansion, Shen Chen." Prince Gao Li has already inquired, where is he willing to let Emperor Zhaowu pretend to be stupid? directly pointed out which daughter it was.

Emperor Zhaowu showed a suddenly realized expression, "Oh, it turns out that the Qing family is talking about Chen'er." Then this matter should not be discussed with me, the three brothers of the second miss of the Shen family are all above the main hall, and the Qing family can discuss with them. Shen Fang, you are Chen'er's eldest brother, you can decide this matter. ”

When Shen Fang heard this, he also had a big head, the key was Shen Yuehai's thoughts about Shen Chen, everyone in the family knew it, but Shen Chen himself didn't know. Moreover, Shen Yuehai has always minded his identity, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to show his heart, but he just silently guarded behind Shen Chen, what should I do about this matter?

"Your Majesty, the courtier's sister is independent by nature, and her father and mother are very loving, and she once said that the courtier's sister's family affairs are her own decision. Let's wait for Weichen to go back and ask his sister, but Weichen doesn't dare to disobey his parents' wishes. Shen Fang had no choice but to push the matter onto his father. Anyway, the two of them went out, and they couldn't come back for a while, Prince Gao Li wouldn't have waited forever.

As soon as Prince Gao Li saw this, he knew that people were unwilling, and he was unwilling, so he turned his head and asked, "Grandpa Guo, hasn't Da Zhou always flaunted three obedience and four virtues?" A woman's marriage should be the order of her parents, the matchmaker's words, why should Ling Mei's marriage be made by herself? ”

Shen Fang looked at Prince Gao Li with a smile, "The prince doesn't know, our Shen family has always been used to being casual, and the father and mother love their daughter more than their son, so they naturally refuse to treat their sister badly in family affairs." So I said at the beginning that the two sisters' family affairs must be nodded and agreed to. No one is allowed to interfere unless they agree. This is also the reason why my two younger sisters know that they are not married at the age of seventeen. ”

The Shen family's maverick behavior is no secret in the Great Zhou, and the legendary deeds of Shen Hongjun and Han Yunxue have long been well-known. Shen Fang's words are all the truth.

Prince Gao Li was still a little unwilling, "Dare to ask Grandpa Guo, can you ask to see the second miss of the Shen family?" The second lady has never seen Zaixia, how can she like Zaixia? If you can meet the second lady below, maybe the second miss will be able to like the upper and lower ones? ”

Shen Xin and Shen Yu were also in the main hall, and when they heard this, Shen Yu really had the urge to beat people. This man's skin is too thick, isn't he? The eldest brother's words are clearly refusals, he still wants to see his sister? Who is he as his own sister, who can see any cat or dog?

Shen Yu secretly gritted his teeth and said in his heart, "Boy, don't be embarrassed anymore, be careful of making the master unhappy one day, just lead the troops to fight directly across the river, so that you can't even be a prince." ”

Shen Yu turned his head and happened to see Shen Liang beside him, so he said in a low voice, "Uncle Liang, it's all this time, what kind of identities are you and Yuehai still thinking about?" I can tell you, if Yuehai doesn't confess quickly, Chen'er really doesn't have to marry anyone. ”

Shen Yuehai is the son of Shen Liang and Rulan, Shen Zhong, Shen Liang, and Shen Fu all came out of the Shen family, and the children of the three families simply used the word Yue as a ranking. Shen Yuehai is the second son of Shen Liang's family, and the eldest has been married a long time ago.

Shen Liang and Rulan are both from the Shen family, and they always feel that their identities are not worthy of the Shen family, although Shen Liang is now also a second-rank general, but in his bones, he still regards himself as a slave of the Shen family. Therefore, although Shen Yuehai admired Shen Chen, he never dared to take action.

The Shen Fang brothers all knew about it, and they had also persuaded Yuehai, but Yuehai was a dead brain, admitting death, and felt that as long as he could guard Shen Chen in this life, he would be very satisfied. That's why it's been dragging on like this until now, but in the end, it was such a Gao Li prince.

Shen Liang listened to Shen Yu's words, and couldn't help sighing, "Third Prince, don't mention this matter, if the second lady really marries Yuehai, what do you let others say?" People can't say that the daughter of the dignified government really can't get married, and in the end she can't marry the son of a slave? It's not right, it's really not right. ”
