Chapter 408 The Marriage Edict for the Third Young Master

Chapter 408 The Marriage Edict for the Third Young Master

It was too late last time.

The relaxation before parting almost made Shen Tingxue shiver.

Rong Zhan had already got up and put on his clothes.

She suspected that he hadn't slept at all, at most he would take a nap with her in his arms and count as sleep.

Rong Zhan changed into a light armor, he looked tall and straight, his eyes were cold and intimidating.

He turned his head to look at the little girl who was struggling to get up, all the coldness on his face disappeared, and he stared at her brightly, "Be obedient and sleep for a while."

"No, I'm going to take you out of town."

The little girl sniffed and insisted on getting up.

After tidying up casually, she was still charming and charming with a thin layer of makeup.

Shen Tingxue picked up the whip hanging on the wall and pinned it to her waist.

Since Rong Zhan gave her this whip, she will never leave her body whenever she goes out.

"Let's go, I'll take you out of the city, and I'll pick you up after your triumphant return."

Shen Tingxue looked up at him, her eyes sparkling.

Rong Zhan was slightly taken aback.

He thought that the little girl would make a fuss to follow him, but she didn't. She raised her beautiful eyes and sent him away with a soft expression on her face.

She didn't want him to worry.

Rong Zhan's heart softened, he lowered his head and kissed her lips fiercely, breathing unsteadily, "Xue'er, wait for me to come back, I will be back soon, take care of yourself."

"Ah."

"Third brother and the others are still in Beijing, and the people from Yin Pavilion are also with me, so you don't have to worry."

"And you must promise me to come back to see me well. The people think you are a god, but you are just my husband, an ordinary person. You are also a mortal body, and you will be hurt and painful."

"I don't want to have a new scar on my chest when you come back."

Her slender fingers gently tapped his chest.

There was a long scar there, from a battle that nearly killed him when he was 15 years old.

In addition, there are many large and small scars on his body.

King Dingbei didn't care too much. The son who went to the battlefield didn't have scars all over his body. It wasn't until the wedding night when he saw the little girl touching the scars on his body and secretly wiping tears that he regretted that he didn't take care of those scars before.

"I promise you, there will be no injuries, no new scars, just a bunch of thieves, not worth mentioning."

"Pingnan Wang is an idiot, his brain is not very good, and it is not surprising that he is seriously injured. I am not Pingnan Wang, so don't worry."

Rong Zhan took the little girl's hand and walked out.

The sky was slightly bright, and the temperature was still a little low. A golden light tore through the sky and slowly leaked out, spreading on the ground.

Rong Zhan tightened the cloak for the girl in his arms, and the two did not separate until they reached the gate of the city.

He mounted his steed.

Shen Tingxue rubbed her hands, and stood at the gate of the city on horseback, looking at him with longing eyes.

However, there are still so many soldiers around him.

She couldn't be more affectionate, so she could only hold back her reluctance and waved to him, "Thirteen, return home as soon as possible, I'll wait for you."

"Ah."

Rong Zhan responded, looked at her twice, and then led her away.

He didn't bring many people with him this time to suppress the bandits, but they were all elite soldiers he brought back from the frontier, and they were all brave and good at fighting.

Shen Tingxue sat motionless on the horseback, her body straight, her red cloak fluttering in the wind.

She watched him lead the army away with clear eyes, and watched the team drift away for a long time.

At first, the flag of the Zhanzi Army could be seen from a distance, but later on, nothing could be seen clearly.

Shen Tingxue's heart was empty, and she felt wronged and wanted to cry.

The civil and military officials in Beijing did not deal with each other, and in private they always called the generals vulgar, ignorant of etiquette, and humiliating.

But without these military generals stationed at the frontier, without them defending the country, can the party be stable with the words of those civil servants?

The sound of horseshoes came, and Shen Tingxue looked back.

Hachiko came on horseback and ran very fast.

"My brother-in-law is gone?"

"gone."

Shen Zhi scratched his head, "It's so early, I wanted to see you off, forget it."

"Xiao Jiu, my brother-in-law is not here, you can go back to the general's mansion with me, the third brother misses you."

"Of course I'll go back, I've asked them to pack my things and send them home."

The palace is too big and too few, and it is very deserted.

Therefore, after Rong Zhan left, Shen Tingxue directly moved back to the General's Mansion to live with his brothers.

"Brother, why haven't you attended morning class? I heard that my master has been scolding you recently, so I'll go and listen to help you vent your anger!"

Shen Zhi turned his head, saw her smiling face, unmoved at all, raised his head and rolled his big eyes, "You'd better go play chess with third brother."

Will she help him find a wife?

If she didn't add fuel to the flames, it would be good if the master scolded him a few more times.

Shen Tingxue happily ran back to the General's Mansion.

She is an optimistic girl. Although she is reluctant to tolerate the war, she will not hurt the spring or autumn.

She will obediently wait for him to come back, help him take care of his mother and concubine, and take care of Dingbei Palace.

Now all the properties of Dingbei Palace are in her hands.

Fortunately, Shen Yu helped her take care of it before leaving, so she was not too tired.

However, Dingbei Prince's Mansion has too many properties, and the shops in her hands are also in need of manpower.

Mother also left her a lot of land, and she also bought a lot of land in places where droughts and floods occurred.

Spring is the time to sow seeds. After a long and comfortable life, Nine Girls has long forgotten that she aspired to be the richest woman in the first place.

As a result, letters from all over the world came, and she remembered this.

With Rong Zhan gone, she probably won't be able to relax.

After returning to the mansion, Hachiko was stared at and went to the master to attend a class.

Shen Tingxue went to find Shen Qi with a lot of books and letters.

Shen Qi had nothing to do, so he helped her read the account book and make suggestions.

In this way, half a month of clean days passed.

Shen Tingxue received two letters from Rong Zhan, those gangsters were very cunning, they dared to confront the mediocre King Pingnan, but they did not dare to confront the brave and skilled Rong Zhan.

Therefore, when Rong Zhan rushed to the place, the other party evacuated his lair, and he didn't know where to hide.

So a month of content wars won't come back.

In fact, Rong Zhan didn't tell Shen Tingxue that the trip was full of difficulties.

Pingnan was King Pingnan's territory, he refused to cooperate with the suppression of the bandits, and the officials under him were even more ignorant and refused to disclose any useful information.

Even when Rong Zhan first arrived, King Pingnan deliberately ordered people to block the city gate, and blocked Rong Zhan's people outside Pingnan City for a whole night.

On the second day, they asked someone to open the door, falsely claiming that they checked the bandits in the city yesterday, fearing that opening the gate would cause the bandits to escape in the chaos.

It's not a good excuse, it's just nonsense.

Shen Tingxue was practicing whips in the yard this day.

Su Bugui stood aside with his sword in his arms, looked at him coldly, frowned slightly, and sternly yelled a few words from time to time, scaring Shen Tingxue, a half-hearted apprentice, almost throwing the whip in his hand.

She regretted it, Uncle Su should leave Beijing...

After Shen Zhi listened to the master's class, he pushed Shen Qi over to watch Shen Tingxue practice.

The butler hurried in, "My lord, the emperor has appointed a crown prince."

"Who?"

Shen Tingxue put away the whip in her hand, and asked first.

Why didn't she hear anything?
"It's the fifth prince."

Shen Tingxue frowned.

Rong Heng lost power, and the remaining princes who are most likely to become princes are the third prince and the fifth prince.

The Seventh Prince is a transparent person.

There are quite a few remaining princes, but they are too young, and the power behind them is not as good as those of their older brothers.

But Rong Heng, the legitimate son, has been seeking for many years, but he has not become the prince.

On the contrary, it was the fifth prince who picked up the bargain so quickly.

This doesn't look like Rendi's style...

"My lord, miss, the emperor has an imperial decree, calling for the third son to go out to receive the decree."

Shen Tingxue's eyelids twitched, and she raised her head to look at the boy, "Let Third Brother go and receive the order."

The servant nodded and said anxiously: "Okay, it seems to be a marriage decree."

Shen Qi's expression changed instantly, and the hands hidden in his sleeves tightened suddenly...

"We resist the decree!"

Shen Zhiqi jumped up and muttered in a low voice: "The emperor must have no good intentions."

And why didn't he wait for his father and elder brother to marry him when they were in Beijing?
Why not wait for his brother-in-law to marry him when he is in Beijing.

"Should come down first."

Shen Qi's brows were calm, after the initial shock, he had already returned to his usual expression.

"No."

Shen Tingxue frowned, "Third brother wants to find a girl he likes, how can he be married casually."

"It's good that the girl has a good character, but if her character is not good, wouldn't she harm third brother for the rest of her life?"

In her eyes, the third brother is as good as the other brothers, and has the same right to find the girl she likes.

Some people came to propose marriage before, but they were all bad girls.

The meaning behind the matchmaker's words was that she disliked Shen Qi as a cripple, and it would be nice if there was a girl who liked it, so there was no need to pick and choose.

After all, a cripple's legs are not good, men are afraid that they are inflexible, and ordinary girls are not willing to marry.

When Shen Tingxue heard this for the first time, she picked up the stick and knocked the matchmaker unconscious.

Afterwards, no one dared to propose marriage.

All the matchmakers knew that Miss Jiu, who had suddenly recovered, was very vicious and had high eyesight.

Not to mention that she likes King Dingbei herself, she doesn't allow her elder brother to marry a girl from an ordinary family, she's just a cripple, so picky.

Now that Emperor Ren bestows a marriage, it is undoubtedly a great honor.

But the Shen family didn't want such an honor.

Shen Tingxue's face was livid.

The old emperor didn't succeed in attacking her, so he picked up her third brother's idea.

"The emperor bestowed a marriage in public, we can't resist the order, it's just a marriage, it's not about getting married tomorrow."

"Earlier, the elder brother and the second elder brother have already rejected the emperor's offer of marriage, and our Shen family cannot produce another person who resists the order."

"Otherwise, the emperor will have the opportunity to attack eldest brother and father."

Shen Qi raised his head and glanced at the direction of the palace, his voice was cold.

The emperor is the emperor after all, this move is very clever.

Before that, both Shen Chen and Shen Yi rejected Emperor Ren's offer of marriage, and even rejected the royal princess.

At that time, in front of everyone, Emperor Ren showed a magnanimous appearance, not only did not blame the two, but also rewarded them as usual.

And there was no decree at that time.

But now that the imperial decree of bestowing marriage has been sent directly to the mansion, if Shen Qi refuses again, it may not be so easy to be kind.

Again and again and again and again and again.

After all, Emperor Ren is the Son of Heaven, and no one dares to disobey him.

Shen Tingxue touched the whip around her waist.

Shen Qi sighed, "You are not allowed to speak for a while."

His voice was not loud, but full of majesty.

It can be said that the two brothers and sisters were brought up by him alone, and they never dared to disobey.

Even though she was as grumpy as Nine Girls, she lowered her head honestly and put away her anger.

Shen Qi took his younger siblings to receive the order.

Because of his inconvenient legs and feet, Emperor Ren allowed him to take the order in a wheelchair without moving.

The attitude of the eunuch passing the decree was very good. After waiting for a while, he didn't show any signs of impatience. He smiled and read the edict of marriage when everyone was present.

"Follow the sky, the emperor's edict said..."
