Su Tai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she still looked cautious, for fear of upsetting Princess Huai'an by any mistake.
Princess Huai'an knew what she was worried about, so she didn't try to persuade her. Instead, she looked at Shen Yuezhang and asked with interest, "Can Miss Shen paint today?"
Shen Yuezhang stood up and saluted politely, "Princess, follow me!"
Led by Shen Yuezhang, Princess Huai'an went to the backyard. Seeing the bricks and stones in the yard, she was surprised again, "Are these fired bricks?"
Shen Yuezhang nodded, "I heard that my parents built it themselves after they got married. This house is the result of my parents' hard work."
Princess Huai'an nodded and praised: "Lord Shen is a man of real ability!"
"Thank you for the compliment, Princess!"
The group entered Shen Yuezhang's boudoir.
After seeing the layout inside, Princess Huai'an had to say that the Shen family was indeed extraordinary. Although the courtyard looked ordinary, the layout inside was very exquisite. It looked comfortable but not luxurious, which was excellent.
What surprised her even more was that in the cold winter, there was a pot of flowers in Shen Yuezhang's room.
She then sat down beside the flowers.
Shen Yuezhang set out his painting supplies and began to paint seriously.
forecourt.
While Chen Yi was talking to Murong Jue, Su Tai hurriedly took the twins to the workshop to inquire.
"You two both know the identity of the eldest princess?"
The twins shook their heads.
Shen Congyu pushed Shen Yuean to the front, “Mom, I am usually in the martial arts field, and recently I went out to perform tasks with my master. My sister has been with my aunt for a longer time, so you have to ask her.”
Su Tai set her sights on Shen Yuean.
Shen Yuean looked innocent, "I don't know either! Anyway, my aunt asked me to call her aunt, and she was very nice to me. When I got into trouble, she would plead for me, secretly let Amber cook for me, and my clothes were also arranged by my aunt."
Before Princess Huai'an came, she didn't have any new clothes to wear. They were all prepared for her by her family.
It’s not that the master and the others are reluctant to spend the money, but they themselves haven’t thought about it.
When Princess Huai'an arrived, she felt that she was finally living the life of a young lady.
Su Tai got a headache when she heard the word "cause trouble". She knew that her little daughter was unreliable, but even if she was embarrassed before, she only embarrassed herself in Zhaohua County, and no one outside knew about it. But now, even the Princess of Huai'an knew about her bad behavior. How could she get married in the future?
Shen Yuean didn't understand Su Tai's worries at all. Seeing that she didn't ask any more questions, Shen Yuean immediately ran away with Shen Congyu to play with Shen Xi.
Su Tai felt uneasy because she couldn't get the truth out of the two children.
That day, she was busy entertaining guests.
She thought she could send these nobles away in the evening, but unexpectedly Shen Yi said that Princess Huai'an wanted to stay. She jumped up.
"Why? How can our family entertain Her Royal Highness, the Princess, who is so precious! Don't you have any way to refuse?"
Chen Yi smiled bitterly, "Do you think I don't want to? It's impossible! Yue Zhang said that the painting will probably take two days to finish. It's not easy for the princess to come here, so she can't leave until the painting is finished!
I have sent people to clean up the ancestral house. Everything that is needed is ready. You don’t have to worry.”
If this is the reason, I can understand it.
Su Tai sighed tiredly, "Forget it! I will be careful for two more days and serve this noble man first."
For the next two days, the couple lived with their breath held high.
I waited so long for the painting to be finished.
The couple secretly thought that Princess Huai'an should go back, but she was not in a hurry and did not mention leaving at all.
Just when the couple was feeling uneasy.
Princess Huai'an talked to Su Tai.
"Mrs. Shen, what do you think of my Ajue?"
That’s what you asked!
Su Tai looked confused, but she was very tactful and praised Murong Jue.
“I still remember when I first met the young master. He was so imposing at a young age. Wherever he stood, no one dared to be presumptuous. He was also very opinionated and intelligent.
Those two naughty kids in my family were brought up by you, sir. To be honest, I am so grateful to you that I cannot express it in words. Before, I even wondered what kind of family could raise such outstanding children.
Now that I know he is the eldest princess' son, I can understand it."
The princess laughed loudly upon hearing this. "Your mouth is as sweet as honey! Since you think my son is good, why don't you marry your daughter to my son?"
"Bang!"
Su Tai's butt, which was not firmly seated to begin with, fell off the stool and made close contact with the ground.
She didn't care about losing her composure, she leaned on the chair and looked at Princess Huai'an in shock, "Your Highness! Did you just say that you want Master Jue to marry my Yue Zhang?"
Princess Huai'an smiled, "That's what I meant. Madam Shen, don't be surprised. The situation in the imperial capital is unpredictable. The emperor can even demote his most beloved son to a commoner. I don't want Ajue to be involved in these disputes. I want to find him a Yue family away from power struggles.
Your family is very good! Miss Shen is also very good! Of course, the most important thing is that my son has been in love with Miss Shen for a long time.
Madam Shen, you can think about it carefully and give me your answer before I leave tomorrow."
Su Tai had no idea how she got back from her ancestral home.
When she came to her senses, she was already sitting in the main room of her house.
Yu Mei brought her hot tea.
Su Tai took it tremblingly, as if she had Parkinson's disease.
Yu Mei was horrified, "Madam! What are you doing?"
Su Tai's eyes did not turn away, and she ordered: "Go and invite the master to the bedroom, and tell him that I have something to discuss with him."
Shen Yi pushed open the door and saw Su Tai's absent-minded look. His heart tightened and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Did the princess give you a hard time?"
Su Tai slowly raised her head and suddenly grabbed Shen Yi's clothes, wanting to cry or not, "What should I do? The princess wants our Yue Zhang to be her daughter-in-law!"
Shen Yi's expression changed immediately, "No! My precious daughter cannot be wronged. Is it easy to be the eldest princess' daughter-in-law? No, no, no."
Shen Yi said a lot of no's, which showed how much he resisted this marriage.
Su Tai had a bitter face, feeling very embarrassed. "How can I refuse? What if the princess is unhappy? You are just a small county magistrate, you can't offend the powerful!"
They now have a large family and a lot of wealth, and they have more than one child. They can't just ignore the overall situation and act recklessly.
Chen Yi gnashed his teeth in anger, and was very emotional. "I suspected that Murong Jue had ulterior motives at the beginning! But he didn't say anything at that time, and I secretly despised myself for thinking too bad of him! Now it seems that my intuition was right! How hateful!"
Su Tai also felt that Murong Jue was really amazing. A child could actually fool two adults, and he did it right under their noses. If the person he was thinking about wasn't her daughter, she would have praised him. (End of this chapter)
