Regardless of whether Yun Zheng was willing or not, Emperor Wen had issued the decree and he had no choice but to accept it.
That’s all!
Just grant the marriage!
Let’s get the military power first!
After all, I am a prince!
The prince is getting married, so even if those court officials look down on me, they have to show some appreciation, right?
Well, take the opportunity to make money!
The more the better!
In addition to soldiers and horses, you also need money and food!
However, if this is the case, I will have to stay in the imperial city for a while!
...
...
Yun Li and Shu Fei will definitely take this opportunity to take revenge on me!
This period of time in the imperial city is definitely the most dangerous time.
We have to think of a solution!
"Sixth Prince, please stay!"
Just as Yun Zheng was walking and thinking, Mu Shun, the chief eunuch of Emperor Wen, caught up with him.
Yun Zheng stopped and looked back at Mu Shun: "What did Manager Mu call me for?"
Looking at Mu Shun, Yun Zheng's mind instantly became active.
Mu Shun is a popular figure around his cheap dad.
Even the former crown prince had to be polite to Mu Shun.
If I could win over Mu Shun...
Soon, Yun Zheng gave up the idea.
I have no power, no influence, and no background. How can I win over Mu Shun?
If you are not careful, you might expose your ambitions.
If Emperor Wen knew that I was going to the border to seize military power, he would kill me!
Mu Shun replied with a smile: "The emperor ordered that the Sixth Prince should accompany me to the Shen family to pass on the imperial decree and meet the future Sixth Prince's consort."
"All right!"
Yun Zheng agreed and followed Mu Shun in the carriage.
On the way, Yun Zheng didn't say anything, just thought about his own things.
But in Mu Shun's opinion, this was just a timid behavior.
"Your Highness, do you know the situation of the Shen family?"
Mu Shun took the initiative to break the silence.
"this……"
Yun Zheng smiled awkwardly and shook his head to indicate that he didn't know.
He really doesn't know.
He has lived in the palace for a long time and seems to be oblivious to what is happening outside the palace. He knows very little about what is happening inside and outside the palace.
Mu Shun laughed and said, "The Shen family is truly a family of loyal heroes..."
Five years ago, Emperor Wen personally led an expedition against the Northern Huan.
Shen Nanzheng was appointed as the general of the vanguard army and led the men of the Shen family to follow Emperor Wen into battle.
After two months of fierce fighting between the two sides, Emperor Wen misjudged the situation, fell into the trap of Beihuan, and was besieged by the Beihuan army.
In order to rescue Emperor Wen, Shen Nanzheng led 10,000 elite troops to raid the Beihuan royal court, forcing the Beihuan army to return for support.
In the end, the siege of Emperor Wen was lifted, but the 10,000 elite troops led by Shen Nanzheng were besieged by the Beihuan army and were eventually wiped out.
In this battle, Shen Nanzheng and his two sons were all killed, leaving behind an orphan.
And Shen Luoyan is Shen Nanzheng's youngest daughter, who just turned twenty this year.
After hearing what Mu Shun said, Yun Zheng couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Emperor Wen is a bit unfair!
The Shen family had made such a great sacrifice to save him, but now he was betrothing Shen Nanzheng's only daughter to himself who was determined to die.
This is clearly bullying the women of the Shen family!
…
Shen Mansion.
Mrs. Shen and the women of the Shen family were enjoying the flowers and drinking tea in the back garden.
A maid ran in hurriedly and bowed, saying, "Madam, someone has come from the palace. It's the Sixth Prince and the Chief Eunuch Mu!"
"oh?"
Madam Shen was slightly startled, and quickly called everyone to the main hall.
"Sixth Prince? Didn't the Sixth Prince die young?"
"The one who died young was the Seventh Prince..."
"The Sixth Prince is the cowardly prince of the current emperor. Not only is he not good at literature or martial arts, he is also timid and cowardly. Every time the palace holds a banquet or something like that, he either pretends to be sick and doesn't attend, or hides in a corner..."
Several female relatives were talking about it.
“Ahem…”
Madam Shen turned around and glared at them, "Be careful with your words!"
These girls are really something!
Is it their turn to discuss royal affairs?
The women stuck out their tongues and quickly kept silent.
Soon, they arrived at the main hall.
Everyone looked at Yun Zheng curiously, thinking to themselves, is this the cowardly prince?
She looks pretty good.
He just doesn't look manly at all.
"Greetings to Chief Steward Mu, and greetings to the Sixth Prince!"
Madam Shen and her female relatives saluted the two men.
Yun Zheng listened to it, but shook his head and smiled in his heart.
How much he looks down on me!
Even the order of priority is reversed!
I don't know whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally.
Mu Shun chuckled, but raised his eyes to look at Yun Zheng.
"No need to be polite!"
Yun Zheng raised his hand gently, thinking that Mu Shun was quite sensible.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Everyone then straightened up.
"Mrs. Shen, congratulations, congratulations!"
Upon seeing Madam Shen, Mu Shun immediately congratulated her.
Madam Shen was delighted and asked quickly, "Butler Mu, what are you so happy about?"
Mu Shun kept it a secret and asked, "Is Miss Chen Luoyan Chen here?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Luoyan immediately stepped forward and said, "My humble servant greets Manager Mu."
Yun Zheng looked at Shen Luoyan carefully.
Bright eyes, white teeth and tall figure.
There is still a hint of heroism between his eyebrows.
She is a heroic beauty!
Mu Shun glanced at Shen Luoyan and suddenly shouted, "Shen Luoyan, listen to my orders!"
Shen Luoyan was slightly stunned, and quickly knelt down to listen to the order.
"The emperor has issued an edict: The Shen family is full of loyal and brave people, and their family tradition is strict, which is the model of our dynasty! Now Shen Luoyan is appointed as the sixth prince's principal wife, and the wedding will be held on a chosen date..."
boom!
As Mu Shun's voice rang out, everyone in the Shen family's heads began to buzz.
Emperor Wen granted marriage to Shen Luoyan?
Or grant the marriage to the loser Sixth Prince?
Shen Luoyan was even more grief-stricken and indignant, with a look of rage on his face.
She had just been mocking the Sixth Prince as a loser in the back garden, and in the blink of an eye, the Sixth Prince had become her husband?
No one came to their senses until Mu Shun finished reading the imperial edict.
"Sixth Prince Consort, please accept my order and express your gratitude!"
Mu Shun looked at Shen Luoyan with a smile.
Shen Luoyan raised her head slightly, looked at the imperial edict handed over by Mu Shun, stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Please ask Chief Steward Mu to tell His Majesty that I am sorry that I cannot accept the edict!"
“Bold!”
Mu Shun's face suddenly turned cold: "Chen Luoyan, do you want to disobey the order?"
"Yes! I just want to disobey your order!" Shen Luoyan shouted angrily.
"presumptuous!"
Mu Shun's face was full of frost. "Do you know what the crime is for disobeying the order?"
"Isn't it just death?"
Shen Luoyan's eyes were red, she held her head high, and gritted her teeth and said, "You can go back and tell His Majesty now that I am waiting at home for His Majesty to give me poisoned wine or white silk!"
Listening to Shen Luoyan's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Is this woman so tough?
Disobeying the emperor's order in public and still wanting the emperor to sentence you to death?
How the hell is this the same as me?
However, he asked for death because he wanted to live.
But she asked for death, as if she really wanted to die!
By the way, am I that bad? Would you rather die than marry me?
She disobeyed the emperor's order in public. Does she want to play Candy Crush Saga?
"Do you think that if you disobey the imperial order, I will sentence you to death and that's it?"
Mu Shun stared at Shen Luoyan coldly, "According to the laws of our dynasty, those who disobey the order will have their entire clan... executed!"
Kill all three clans?
After hearing Mu Shun's words, Shen Luoyan was stunned and his momentum weakened a bit.
Until this time, everyone in the Shen family finally came to their senses.
Sister-in-law Wei Shuang glanced at her daughter who was less than six years old, and hurried forward to hold Shen Luoyan, begging in a low voice: "Please don't let your temper do what you want. If you don't consider yourself, consider the Shen family!"
Having said that, Wei Shuang quickly looked at her mother-in-law again.
Madam Shen’s chest rose and fell violently, and she tried hard to suppress her anger.
After a long while, Madam Shen clenched her fist tightly and asked with gritted teeth: "Butler Mu, what crime has my Shen family committed? Why does His Majesty treat my Shen family like this?"
Mu Shun stared at Madam Shen calmly: "Madam Shen, this is because the emperor specially granted the marriage to show his favor because of the outstanding merits of the generals of the Shen family!"
"Grace?"
Madam Shen's eyes widened with anger, "This is clearly bullying our Shen family, which is a lonely family!"
“Mrs. Shen, be careful with your words!”
Mu Shun's face suddenly turned cold, and he said sternly: "From now on, the Shen family will be royal relatives! Isn't this considered the favor of the emperor?"
Mu Shun said, and looked at Shen Luoyan with a cold gaze, "Miss Shen, considering your father and brother's outstanding contributions, this old servant will give you one more chance! If you don't accept the order again, you will really be disobeying the order!"
As Mu Shun's voice fell, several Yulin guards had already put their hands on their weapons.
For a moment, the atmosphere was extremely tense.
"Wow……"
Suddenly, the crying of a little girl broke the depressing atmosphere...
