Chapter 313

"Brother, it's not good to be drunk. Don't get drunk again next time. Although you're better after drinking the hangover soup, you should drink more." Shen Lidong said, pouring the hangover soup Gave it to Shen Wenxuan, staring at him to drink it.

Seeing Shen Lidong staring at him like this, Shen Wenxuan smiled wryly, then took the bowl from Shen Lidong's hand, and drank the rest of the hangover soup in one go.After drinking, Shen Lidong handed him a cotton towel soaked in hot water. "Here, wipe it off quickly, your head is full of hot sweat from the smell of alcohol, you must be feeling uncomfortable right now."

Shen Wenxuan stared at the cotton towel that Shen Lidong insisted on delivering, so he had to accept it obediently again, raised his hand to wipe it quickly, and then threw it into the washbasin beside him.

Seeing that Shen Wenxuan was fully awake now, Shen Lidong could talk to him about the matter, so he asked Shen Wenxuan. "Brother, when you came back, the father-in-law told us that the elder brother was given a marriage by the emperor to Princess Zhou Yanping at the palace banquet tonight. Dong'er wants to know, what does the elder brother think? Also, parents let Dong My son asked elder brother, do you have to make preparations for the marriage between this elder brother and the princess?" Shen Lidong looked at the imperial decree on the desk, and signaled that elder brother should give his advice, after all, the emperor bestowed the marriage The imperial decree, it was written that the elder brother and the princess would get married three months later, so there is not much time left for preparation, so some things should be settled by the elder brother himself as soon as possible, so that the parents can follow the The elder brother's preferences and the princess's preferences are gathered together.

This Shen Wenxuan followed Shen Lidong's gaze to see the imperial decree for bestowing marriage, and his eyes dimmed a bit.

"Dong'er, elder brother drank too much tonight, he lost his composure, and made Dong'er laugh. But don't worry, elder brother won't get drunk like this again in the future, and won't worry the family anymore." At this point, he changed the topic and said: "As for the marriage between the elder brother and the princess, let the mother handle it according to the rules, as long as it conforms to the rules, there is no need to make special preparations, the elder brother doesn't care about such formalities , Dong’er let parents not have to work too hard to find out what the eldest brother likes and the princess’s preferences, and neither the eldest brother nor the princess will care too much about these things.”

When Shen Lidong heard that his elder brother didn't care about anything, he felt depressed.Is it really the eldest brother's unwilling marriage?That being the case, why does the eldest brother have to continue?Is there no other way?
"Brother, Dong'er looks at him as if he doesn't want to marry the princess. If so, Dong'er thinks it's better to find another way and just push back the marriage. Maybe, maybe Dong'er can go to marry the princess. Let's talk about it, maybe after the princess heard this, she might agree to Dong'er, and she might push away the elder brother's marriage." Shen Lidong said so, but Shen Wenxuan shook his head.

"This matter, the emperor has issued a decree to bestow marriage, not just talking about it verbally. At this moment, all the civil and military ministers know that the emperor has issued this imperial decree to bestow marriage, no matter how good the relationship between the princess and Dong'er is. , it is impossible for her to have the courage to stand up and withdraw this marriage at this time. Besides, the princess herself is not willing to withdraw such a marriage at all, because the enemy country sent a letter, intending to marry the Qin and Jin Dynasties with the Great Zhou Dynasty Okay, so, in the suitable royal family, the age of the princess and the age of the third princess are suitable, and the emperor has promised the third princess that she will not let her go to the marriage, so the marriage is very likely to happen It fell on the princess. I don’t know why, but the emperor finally changed his mind and gave the princess a marriage to the elder brother, but he didn’t send her to the enemy’s country to get married. The master will be happy to agree. So Dong'er, don't bother, and don't go to the princess at this time, because this matter is a foregone conclusion."

What's more, Shen Wenxuan knew in his heart that this imperial decree was clearly prepared by the emperor long ago, and at the palace banquet, it was just that the concubine De concubine joked that the princess was getting old, so she should be matched with a good husband. The emperor laughed and teased him a few words, and then seemed to inadvertently ask about his family affairs, and after asking, the imperial edict of bestowing marriage came to him.If it is not something that the emperor had planned long ago, then the emperor just made a joke at that time, so it is impossible for the chief eunuch Xiao Shunzi to take out the imperial decree and declare it immediately. Under such circumstances, what else can Shen Wenxuan say?Can he resist the decree?Can he afford the crime?

The answer is obviously, he can't afford it.

Once he resists the decree, the face of the princess will be damaged, and the emperor will definitely be furious. Not to mention that the Bai family who has just been rehabilitated will be implicated again, even the Shen family will be disrespected because of his decree. The whole family has to go to jail.

So, at that time, Shen Wenxuan, apart from pretending to happily comply with this will, what other things could he do for his family?

No, nothing else, nothing.

What he can do is to agree to the emperor's gift of marriage, marry the princess within three months, and then rely on the princess from now on, the Shen family will naturally be protected by the emperor from now on, so that the family can be safe Now, what is the sacrifice of his lifelong happiness?

It's just that his lifelong happiness has been fixed in this way, he doesn't even have a chance to turn around, and it's impossible to stay by Dong'er's side silently.

Under such circumstances, he originally wanted another person to guard Dong'er so well, but at this moment, that person was cut off from Dong'er by an imperial decree just like him.

Thinking about it, Shen Wenxuan's eyes became more sad, and the expression on his face was very dull.

But Shen Lidong listened to Shen Wenxuan's words and looked at Shen Wenxuan's expression, obviously he misunderstood. "Brother, Dong'er will understand now. If the emperor hadn't changed his mind, it would not be the third princess who should go to get married right now, but the princess, right?" Since there is only the possibility of choosing one of the two Shen Lidong thought so naturally, but what Shen Wenxuan said next surprised Shen Lidong.

"Dong'er, you misunderstood. The emperor didn't let the third princess go to make a kiss."

"Didn't the eldest brother just say that besides the princess, the third princess is suitable?" Shen Lidong asked puzzled.

"How could it be possible for the emperor to let the third princess go to marry him? He had planned it long ago. It is of great use to keep her as a princess. Your elder brother and I didn't realize it until tonight." Shen Wenxuan said, the bitterness in the corner of his mouth became more and more bitter. It's heavier.

Seeing what Shen Wenxuan said, Shen Lidong seemed to understand something. "Could it be that the person who was sent to be married has someone else?"

"That's right, the person who was chosen to marry has now been recognized by the queen mother as her granddaughter, and has become the emperor's golden branch and jade leaf. That person, Dong'er also knows, is the Cao Keren who escaped from death." Shen Wenxuan said With a sneer, the emperor really made full use of it, and arranged for the last member of the Cao family so cleverly.

Shen Lidong heard that Cao Keren was the candidate, although he was a little surprised, but when he thought about the emperor's thoughts, he understood.It was just about the use of the third princess mentioned by the eldest brother, Shen Lidong guessed: "Big brother, since Cao Keren has become a princess and is going to get married, then the third princess, does the emperor treat the third princess as a pawn for marriage?" Thinking about it Go, Shen Lidong can only think that this reason is more credible.

And when Shen Wenxuan heard Shen Lidong's words, he really wished that his younger sister could be a little more stupid, but what should be known must be known. Instead of letting Dong'er learn from others, it is better to learn from her big brother. It is better to learn from the mouth.

In this way, Shen Wenxuan told Shen Lidong the last happiness of the so-called three happiness coming to the door tonight.

"Dong'er's guess is useless at all. The emperor has indeed used the third princess as a chess piece to marry. The person the third princess wants to marry is none other than Brother Qi."

When Shen Lidong heard his elder brother Shen Wenxuan mentioning this matter, his heart skipped a beat, and he had a vague premonition that this matter would be very difficult.With Tang Yuanqi's irritable and impulsive temperament, if he was forced to point out this marriage, he would definitely not bear it rationally like his elder brother.
