The prince didn't understand what it meant to go there and not touch anything.
But being granted a marriage between him and Ziwei Fuxing represented his father's support and love for him, and also represented that his position was secure.
He is happy.
His mother died early, and his only sister grew up with Concubine Li. Over the years, she has only been close to the Second Prince, and doesn't have much affection for him, her eldest brother.
Now, his father is his only support.
The prince's eyes filled with tears. He went out and knelt to receive the order, "Your son, I accept the order!"
"The Emperor of Heaven and Fortune decrees: This is Princess Zhaoyang, blessed by heaven, and she is a match made in heaven for our Crown Prince. I grant you a good marriage and we will get married on the Lantern Festival!"
"Your son accepts the order."
The prince stood up holding the imperial edict, his eyes reddened, "Thank my father for me."
Eunuch Yuan nodded, but the look in his eyes was not warm.
"Please go back, Prince. I still need to go to the Shen family."
The prince turned around and walked in holding his copy of the imperial edict, and gave the order, "Starting tomorrow, prepare to marry the Crown Princess!"
Eunuch Yuan shook his head and went to find Shen Ruyi.
The emperor's favorite son is not the crown prince.
However, the emperor is in his prime, and he cannot be too hasty about some things and some people. If you are impatient, you will not get what you want.
…
Shen family.
Shen Yu had just bandaged his wound and was sitting next to Shen Xiao, waiting for Shen Cangyun to come back.
"Big brother, fourth brother, you two are injured, third brother and second brother are gone, fifth brother hasn't come back yet, and the New Year is almost here, what should we do?"
Shen Jiaojiao knelt beside the bed, helping Shen Xiao change the bandages, tears welling up in her eyes.
"If I had known this day would come, I would not have come back. Maybe everyone in this family would be better off without me."
"It's all my fault..."
"Why are you crying?"
When Shen Xiao saw her like this, he couldn't help but hate Shen Ruyi again.
"What does the trouble caused by that bitch Shen Ruyi have to do with you? In my opinion, father should announce that he has severed ties with her! We don't have such a daughter in our Shen family!"
He already knew about the Gu family's affairs.
What Shen Ruyi did at the banquet really shocked him.
Shen Xiao wanted to get up and go out to slap her twice, but he was injured and couldn't move, so he could only keep it to himself.
When Shen Xiao heard Shen Jiaojiao trying to take the responsibility on himself, he became so angry that he felt like his wounds were about to split open.
Seeing this, Shen Jiaojiao was secretly delighted and added fuel to the fire.
"After all, my sister was also raised in the Prime Minister's Mansion. My father might be reluctant to let her go. Although he doesn't say it, he actually cares about her in his heart."
"That's what parents are like. Even if their children tear down the family, they can still tolerate it..."
What she wanted was to drive Shen Xiao crazy.
It would be best to completely sever the relationship between the Prime Minister's Mansion and Shen Ruyi, and then find someone to silence Shen Ruyi.
Once Shen Ruyi and Shen Luo die...
Shen Jiaojiao sneered.
It was as if she had already seen the father and son of the Shen family, who had trusted and protected her so much, being executed for treason.
When that time came, she transformed herself...
Now, the only thing that needs to be dealt with urgently is to prevent Shen Luo and Shen Ruyi from talking nonsense and bringing trouble to her.
She also has to find an opportunity to meet the third prince.
She can't handle this matter alone.
Sure enough, when Shen Xiao heard what he said, he became so angry that his eyes turned red and his saliva splashed everywhere.
"Tolerance is bullshit!"
"Tomorrow morning, I will have people spread the word that from now on I don't have a sister like Shen Ruyi!"
"I want to see what she would be without the Shen family!"
The whole room was filled with his roar.
The roar gave Shen Yu a headache.
But Shen Yu also felt that what Shen Xiao said made sense.
So he said, "She doesn't know the benefits of the family. If she really leaves this family, what does it matter if she is a lucky star?"
"She will still be manipulated by others. Moreover, she is not innocent now and cannot enter the Ninth Prince's Palace. She can only enter the temple and become a nun."
Shen Jiaojiao nodded and sighed, "Yes, after all, the Ninth Prince said today that it was him who was with my sister in Zuixin Tower that day. If he can't marry her, then my sister will have to go to the temple from now on."
"After all, no one else dares to marry her."
Will the Ninth Prince marry Shen Ruyi?
Shen Jiaojiao thinks that won't happen, because the Third Prince said in Yingchun Tower today: Shen Ruyi is Ziwei's lucky star, and marrying her to anyone would be risky. The implication is too obvious, and the Emperor would not agree.
Then, all that awaits Shen Ruyi is to become a nun.
Shen Ruyi, after all, can't compare to her.
She also has three princes.
Thinking about this, Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but smile secretly in her heart.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Master, Eunuch Yuan is here, holding the imperial edict and looking for Miss!"
Shen Jiaojiao froze and looked towards the door.
"At this time, my father hasn't come back yet, so why did the people from the palace come first? The emperor just issued an imperial decree today, why did he order her to come again?"
Speaking of Shen Ruyi's title of "Lucky Star of Ziwei", Shen Jiaojiao was so jealous that her eyes turned red.
Today, in front of everyone, if Shen Cangyun hadn't protected her, she would have been beaten to death by Rong Yan.
However, Shen Ruyi was conferred the title of princess by the emperor.
Shen Jiaojiao couldn't help but look forward to the imperial edict tonight, which would be the emperor's punishment to Shen Ruyi, blaming her for angering the old lady of the Gu family to death and making the entire court a mess.
So, she followed Shen Yu out the door and asked Eunuch Yuan, "Eunuch, did my sister do something wrong to make the emperor angry?"
Eunuch Yuan's gaze fell on the face of the second young lady of the Shen family.
The light from the red lanterns under the eaves shone faintly on her. She looked pitiful, but there was a kind of inferior flattery hidden in her every frown and smile...
Eunuch Yuan suddenly laughed, "No, the Emperor has granted marriage to Princess Zhaoyang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I am here to announce the marriage decree."
He came out of the palace.
I've seen a lot of beauties, and I've also seen a lot of sluts.
Not to mention the eldest daughter of the Shen family, he had seen dozens of people like the second daughter, if not a hundred, but not a single one of them could survive in the palace for more than three years.
Playing this trick in front of him?
Too tender.
The smile on Shen Jiaojiao's face froze inch by inch.
"How is it possible? My sister is already having an affair with the Ninth Prince, how could the Emperor grant her marriage to the Crown Prince?"
"Doesn't that mean I will become the Crown Princess?"
Jealousy made her voice tremble and become sharp, and the delicate and innocent appearance she acted out was also shattered.
Eunuch Yuan's eyes fell on her face, full of teasing, "Aren't you happy for her? I heard you call her sister."
"Glad..."
Shen Jiaojiao forced herself to smile, but her nails dug into her palms, and then her stomachache came back!
Just now, she was still fantasizing that Shen Ruyi would not be able to get married and would be sent to a nunnery. After all, she was not as lucky as her and would be able to marry the Third Prince in the future.
Who knew that the slap in the face would come as fast as a tornado!
Shen Ruyi suddenly transformed herself and became the Crown Princess?
Shen Jiaojiao's entire body and mind were filled with jealousy.
But he still had to smile at Eunuch Yuan.
