Chapter 148: What can go wrong with arranged marriage?

Shen A-Jiao was not interested in banquets or socializing. Besides, as a modern person, she was too obsessed with things like in-laws, connections, and family background. She might offend others without knowing it by saying something careless, which would cause her losses.

She just stayed there quietly, establishing an image of an obedient and docile person.

Lin Daiyu went for a walk, but when she found it boring she came back and sat down to chat and laugh with Shen Ajiao.

Many ladies looked towards Shen Ajiao, waiting for her to look at them and smile. Then they would have the opportunity to come forward and say a few words to her, and they could be considered familiar with her.

After all, she is also a figure in recent public controversy.

But Shen A-Jiao didn't pay attention. When she raised her head, her eyes were empty and they didn't meet anyone's eyes at all. As a result, many people couldn't come up to talk to her.

On the contrary, Zhen wanted to take this opportunity to get to know more ladies, to socialize with old acquaintances, and to build some relationships, but no one looked at her.

She greeted them with a smile, but found that the ladies were all looking at Shen A-Jiao, and she was very angry. Seeing Shen A-Jiao wasting such a good opportunity, she couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

"I wonder if you thought Mrs. Lin had never eaten anything good?"

Shen A-Jiao? ? No, what are you doing here?

She thinks it's delicious, so why not eat a few more? Did she eat your rice?

"Haha, yes, I think the palace dim sum is good. Mrs. Wang has tried it and it tastes better. Could it be that your dim sum is better than the imperial chef's?" Shen Ajiao said sincerely, "No wonder Mrs. Wang doesn't like this."

Shen A-Jiao, huh, who is worse than who in terms of yin and yang?

Zhen suddenly felt that the air around her had cooled down by several degrees. She looked around and realized that she had said something wrong. She quickly said, "No, the food in the palace is naturally the best in the world. The food made at home cannot compare to this."

As she spoke, she took a few bites of food to prove what she said.

Shen A Jiao smiled sweetly, "You think so too, Madam Wang, enjoy your meal."

Zhen was even more upset. Why did she say all this when she had nothing to do? Who knows, tomorrow someone might impeach her Wang family and commit crimes. She was so angry that she ate two more bites of food.

But in Wang Yingying's eyes, these were just Shen Ajiao bullying her mother.

Originally, everyone came to attend the banquet, but they were narrow-minded and only focused on the food in front of them. Their mother tried to remind them, but they didn't appreciate it.

"What a bumpkin."

Shen Ajiao subway old lady question mark face? Aren’t these mother and daughter sick? What the hell?

Lin Daiyu: "I wonder which celestial being this sister is?"

"After eating the heavenly fairy dew and seeing the grand occasions, it's no wonder that you are country bumpkins. The delicacies in the human palace are not worthy of your sister's eyes."

"Yes, yes, report your name, and we can also see the glory of the fairy." Shen Ajiao asked the mother and daughter sincerely, "The saint is coming soon, why don't you tell him, the saint may also want to know."

"What do I want to know?"

Zhen turned around and saw that it was Sheng Xiao, who was standing behind them with his hands behind his back. She quickly pulled her daughter to kneel and kowtow, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

Everyone came to their senses and came forward to greet him.

"Your Majesty, I wish you the best of health."

Shen Ajiao hurriedly glanced at Shengxiao, who was paying respects with everyone else. She thought she would see a very serious Shengxiao, but she found that Shengxiao was smiling, giving people a faint sense of warmth and gentleness.

But speaking like that was an unprecedented pressure, and there was a hint of authority in the tone.

I heard that Shengxiao was already thirty years old when he ascended the throne, and he was also the longest-serving crown prince in this dynasty. To be able to ascend the throne smoothly from the crown prince was not as simple as he looked gentle.

Now, it has been only 15 years since he ascended the throne, but his achievements are remarkable and his reputation is growing.

Shen Ajiao didn't dare to be careless and could only blame herself for her slip of the tongue.

"Stand up! Today is a palace banquet, there is no need to be so cautious, you two speak." Sheng moved quickly, sat on the dragon chair, and looked at Shen Ajiao with a hint of kindness.

"Ms. Shen, who did you just say was the celestial being?"

Shen Ajiao looked up at Sheng Wo, smiling slightly, not seeming angry, and quickly explained, "I was just joking with Mrs. Wang, praising Miss Wang for her beauty, like a fairy from heaven."

Zhen designed a plan and quickly agreed, but later said that he was not worthy of it and that Mrs. Lin was exaggerating.

Sheng 껗 became interested, "Which one is the daughter of the Wang family?

Wang Yingying was behind Zhen. When she heard the emperor calling her, she quickly bowed and greeted him, "Your Majesty, I am your servant."

Sheng 껗 took a look and nodded, "Wang Ziteng, your girl is indeed good, you can marry her."

When Prince Teng heard that the emperor was asking about his daughter's marriage, he was shocked and a thin layer of sweat instantly covered his forehead. After thinking for a while, he said, "Your Majesty, the marriage has been arranged."

Sheng Wo smiled and said, "That's a pity. I was thinking of arranging a marriage for your daughter. Now that it's arranged, let's forget it."

When Zhen saw the look Wang Ziteng gave her, she didn't dare to move or say anything. She just lowered her head and said nothing.

But Wang Yingying was young and spoiled at home. When she heard that His Majesty wanted to arrange a marriage for her, she thought that the man His Majesty arranged for her must be a rare talent.

Just as she was wondering who this good boy was, she heard her father say that she was engaged. Her face turned pale and tears fell uncontrollably. She...

She's engaged there! Isn't this deceiving the emperor, father?

Maybe he ordered it privately without telling her?

I was in a panic for a while. How could there be any good family in such a situation?

For a moment, I couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

Zhen frowned and pinched Wang Yingying hard, and Wang Yingying barely stopped crying.

Both mother and daughter were unhappy.

I heard Sheng 껗 continue to ask, "Lin Ruhai, where is your daughter?"

Lin Ruhai glanced at Lin Daiyu and said calmly, "Your Majesty, the girl is too young. I would like to stay for a few more years. After all, she is my only daughter."

"Hahaha, it shows that you usually dote on her. How about arranging a son-in-law for her?"

Lin Ruhai fell to his knees with a thud, "Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

"Why not? I haven't even said who this good boy is."

Lin Ruhai swallowed his saliva, "Your Majesty! My daughter is young, please don't delay me."

"Look at you, would I say there's a big age gap?"

Lin Ruhai nodded, "Aren't they the same as me and my wife?"

Isn't this what you also accept?

Sheng Wo saw the way Lin Ruhai looked at her and felt a little embarrassed. Look, you even pointed out the wrong marriage?
