Fu Hengyu started pretending again.
He looked a little guilty, "I have been away for the past three years. Yue'er has been alone at home and has suffered a lot. She finally asked me, her brother, for something. I can't refuse her."
It would be bad for you not to give it to me, so why don’t you ask for it yourself!
Shen Yuerong complained endlessly in her heart, but she still pretended to be dignified on the surface.
"Then... I'll do my best."
His Majesty looked at the person in front of him as soon as he said this, and his gaze, which had been fixed for almost the entire night, drifted away, making him even more certain of the deep affection that the person in front of him had for the people in the General's Mansion.
"I remember there is indeed a woman in the general's mansion, but she seems to be younger. But as long as you like her, age is not a problem."
Chi Mu was about to speak when he heard him speaking to the general.
"General Fu."
When his name was called, Fu Hengyu quickly stood up, took two steps forward, and knelt in front of His Majesty.
"Your Majesty."
The emperor was very satisfied and praised him repeatedly, "General, you have worked hard for the past three years. Now that you are back, is there any reward you would like?"
Fu Hengyu glanced at his sister and spoke quickly.
"Since Your Majesty has asked, I would like to ask for a marriage for my sister. I hope Your Majesty will grant my wish."
"Your sister? Who is her crush in the capital? Great! If there is a real pair of lovers, I would naturally be willing to grant them marriage, which would be double happiness."
Fu Hengyu glanced at Fu Hengyue and urged in a low voice, "Come over and tell His Majesty."
The woman's face flushed as she walked up and knelt beside Fu Hengyu. She raised her head slightly and glanced at the prince who was sitting next to him, her eyes full of shyness.
"I have admired the prince for a long time, but unfortunately I was too young to catch his eye. Now that the prince has returned from the frontier, he is so heroic and has attracted many people's attention. I cannot forget him, so I beg you, my elder brother, to help me find a marriage."
Fu Hengyue knelt on the spot, her face full of the shyness of a little girl.
Many of the young men from Beijing attended the banquet.
Seeing that the girl from the Fu family was so disregarding her dignity and taking the initiative to ask for a marriage for herself, there was a lot of talk among the people around her.
"Like... Your Majesty?"
The emperor's teasing eyes fell on Chi Mu, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
He stood up, his tone very cold, completely destroying the admiration of all the girls present for him.
"I already have someone in my heart, but unfortunately that person has already married someone else. Since that day, I have secretly vowed that I will never get married in this life. Your Majesty, please do not match me with someone you shouldn't match."
I don't know how many women in the capital were alarmed by this sentence.
Even the queen beside her was a little surprised.
They didn't know Chi Mu very well and had no idea that he already had a lover.
Fu Hengyue was standing on the field, her shy face now filled with fear.
Why?
But his eyes were clearly on me just now.
"Your Highness said that he has a beloved one, but just now... your eyes were fixed on me, your servant..."
“This prince is looking at the general’s wife, Shen Yuerong.”
The tea bowl that Shen Yuerong had just picked up stopped in mid-air at the man's voice.
Is he looking at her?
And he spoke so bluntly and directly.
Fu Hengyu raised his head in disbelief, his eyes following Shen Yuerong closely.
Could it be that the married wife Chi Mu loves is her?
There were many different opinions at this moment, and even the emperor looked a little ugly.
"Why? You guys don't think that she's the one you like, do you?"
With a bit of joking, he looked at the ministers present who had unhappy expressions, and then he spoke again.
"Speaking of which, I do have some old connections with the Shen family. Although Shen Yuerong is the only orphan left in the Shen family, she was, after all, a third-rank official appointed by His Majesty himself. Now...she can only stay in the harem, just like an ordinary woman. I just feel sad."
At that time, the Shen family was very prosperous in the capital.
His reputation as a miracle doctor was admired by many nobles in the capital.
And Shen Yuerong, who had learned medical skills at a young age, was even better than the miracle doctor.
He was also employed as a military doctor and saved countless soldiers.
This was once proof of the Shen family's contributions to the country.
But how many people in the court now still remember who the person in front of them is?
Shen Yuerong had never expected that Chi Mu would mention his own past in public, let alone that he would mention the Shen family in public.
“If Your Majesty hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten that Lord Shen has been dead for three years.”
The miraculous doctor of the Shen family has saved many lives from danger with his miraculous healing skills. Unfortunately, it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself.
Now that it has been mentioned again, all the civil and military officials in the court are particularly mindful of the old friendship.
"I remember... Madam Fu also destroyed her legs and feet in order to save the general. Are they better now?"
Although Shen Yuerong's legs were conscious, she couldn't move them, so she could only reply from where she was.
"The imperial physician diagnosed that my legs...would never be able to stand again."
Thinking back to the past, His Majesty's expression was filled with a bit of regret.
"Thinking of you, a woman, but as brave as a man, if it weren't for you, the general would have been dead by now. The entire general's mansion should always remember your kindness."
Shen Yuerong lowered her head and did not tell His Majesty about the unfair treatment she had received from the General's Mansion over the years.
"I will naturally keep Madam's friendship in my heart and will treat him as before."
Seeing this, Fu Hengyu quickly spoke up to express his love for Shen Yuerong, and his eyes also fell on Shen Yuerong.
Shen Yuerong met his gaze, smiled and lowered her head, looking like a shy girl.
"Look at how loving you two are. I think Dr. Shen can rest assured."
"Father used to think that General Fu was a good man. Now that he sees that the general and I are getting along well, he will naturally be happy."
Shen Yuerong didn't want to embarrass the General's Mansion in public, so she naturally followed the emperor's words.
The emperor was very satisfied and let the two of them go first.
The original intention was to arrange a marriage for the prince, but to remind everyone of the former glory of the Shen family.
After three rounds of drinking, His Majesty left on the grounds of being tired.
Afterwards, Fu Hengyu also said that he was a little sleepy and turned to leave.
Soon, Shen Yuerong saw the person beside him walking over.
"The prince said he had some important matters to discuss with Madam, so please step aside, Madam."
Shen Yuerong looked at Fu Hengyu who was sitting next to her, with some hesitation on her face, and for a moment she didn't know whether she should meet him privately.
"The prince is looking for you, so you go first."
There was no sign of embarrassment on his face, and he even looked a little happy.
Seeing this, Shen Yuerong didn't say anything else and left first.
Back garden.
The man was sitting in the corridor, his figure alone looked somewhat pitiful, and Shen Yuerong slid her wheelchair over to him.
"Meet the prince."
He looked at the person in front of him as if he had just woken up from a dream.
