Su Qingyu ignored Princess Yongjia's expression. She was right in this matter, so what was she afraid of?
Li Chaoyun wants to take the position of the third wife of the Shen family by using dirty means, but that is a dream.
At this time, she couldn't retreat a single step.
Once the imperial decree granting the marriage is issued, there will be no room for maneuver even if the person involved is not Shen Zhixiu.
Princess Yongjia scolded him harshly, "How dare you! You're just someone lucky enough to marry into the Shen family, but you're not worthy of Lord Shen. Now that the Emperor wants to grant us a marriage, how can you refuse?"
"Brother Emperor, you have to make the decision for Chaoyun..."
When Emperor Xuande heard what Su Qingyu said, he waved his hand to stop Princess Yongjia from finishing her words.
"Since the Su family is unwilling, I cannot grant the marriage."
When Emperor Xuande talked about this with Su Qingyu, he always felt that he was bullying the girl. She was unwilling, and he couldn't force her to give up her position as the main wife.
It was one thing for Princess Yongjia to threaten her secretly, but it was another thing for him to bully her openly.
"Royal brother, Shen Zhixiu bullied Chao Yun so much, are we just going to let this go?"
As soon as Princess Yongjia finished speaking, two people came in from outside the hall. They were Shen Zhixiu and Old Madam Shen.
Everyone looked at Shen Zhixiu in astonishment, and subconsciously looked at his clothes and face.
I want to see if I can find any signs of having sex, such as messy clothes, lustful eyes, etc.
But to their disappointment, Shen Zhixiu's clothes were neat and tidy, without a single wrinkle. There wasn't even a single unnecessary expression on his handsome face.
Shen Zhixiu walked to the center of the hall, stood beside Su Qingyu and saluted Emperor Xuande.
He turned around and whispered to Su Qingyu, "Why are you standing here? What happened?"
Shen Zhixiu’s first reaction was, did Su Qingyu say something wrong and make the emperor unhappy?
Su Qingyu shook her head first, then said calmly, "It's not a big deal. The emperor wants to grant you a marriage with Princess Chaoyun. He asked the Su family for their opinion, but I disagreed."
Shen Zhixiu: ...
The emperor granted him a marriage with Princess Chaoyun?
How could Su Qingyu speak so calmly about such a big thing?
Shen Zhixiu looked at the emperor again and said, "Your Majesty, I have already been engaged. I will not trouble Your Majesty to worry about this."
Although Shen Zhixiu spoke humbly and appropriately, Emperor Xuande felt, perhaps due to psychological factors, that Shen Zhixiu seemed to be disliking him for meddling in other people's affairs.
Emperor Xuande was confused at this time. Shen Zhixiu didn't look like he had just returned from a secret meeting with someone.
He looked at the maid Danju who had just reported the news with a cold expression, "Say what you just said to Lord Shen again."
Because the person who came was Li Chaoyun's maid, everyone assumed that she must have seen it with her own eyes and confirmed it without a doubt. After all, what maid would throw dirty water on her master? And even say it with such confidence?
Danju's mind was blank at this moment, and she could only follow Emperor Xuande's order and repeat what she had just said word for word.
As Danju spoke, Shen Zhixiu's expression turned gloomy.
After Danju finished speaking, he took two steps forward, looked down at Danju who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a cold voice, "Did you see me go in with your own eyes?"
Danju was stunned by the question.
In fact, in order to prevent Lord Shen from noticing, the princess did not let them serve inside the house. Instead, she asked them to hide in the side room and told her to report to the emperor if she heard any noise.
She did hear the voice, but the person's appearance...
Thinking of this, Danju's heart skipped a beat.
Isn’t it Lord Shen?
Seeing Danju stammering and unable to speak, Princess Yongjia also panicked.
Shen Zhixiu is here, so who is with Chaoyun?
Emperor Xuande obviously thought of this as well, and he could no longer sit still. He stood up and said, "I'll go and take a look."
Seeing this, everyone followed the emperor and Princess Yongjia from a distance and walked towards the back hall.
Logically speaking, this is a royal scandal and so many people shouldn't be allowed to watch.
But those attending the palace banquet today were either the wives and daughters of dukes and marquises, or high-ranking officials and their families. Hiding the truth was impossible, so Princess Yongjia remained silent.
When we arrived at the west wing of the rear hall, we heard a slight rustling sound from inside.
The nanny beside Princess Yongjia pushed open the door of the west wing and walked in at her signal.
After a while, the nanny came out.
He whispered, "Your Majesty, Princess, the person inside is... the eldest young master of the Shen family."
The sound was not loud, but those who should have heard it heard it.
Su Qingyu stood behind the crowd, looking surprised. Why was it Shen Zhao?
Could it be that Li Yunzhou threw Shen Zhao in?
At this time, the emperor and Princess Yongjia also came to their senses and said in unison that it was impossible.
Su Qingyu's eyes flashed with a sneer, thinking that the emperor and Princess Yongjia were quite interesting. If someone said this person was Shen Zhixiu, they would be equally happy. If someone said this person was Shen Zhao, neither of them wanted to admit it.
She glanced around and suddenly saw Li Yunzhou leaning against a tree not far away, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if basking in the sun.
Su Qingyu slowly took a few steps back, then walked towards Li Yunzhou calmly.
Everyone's attention was focused on Li Chaoyun and Shen Zhao, and no one paid attention to her.
"You threw Chen Zhao into Princess Chaoyun's room?" Su Qingyu asked directly after approaching.
Li Yunzhou pursed his lips, then said with a half-smile, "It's not me. I'm not stupid. Letting Li Chaoyun marry into the Shen family is not cheating my teacher, is it?"
Su Qingyu raised an eyebrow, "Then how did Shen Zhao get in?"
Li Yunzhou shook his head and said, "I don't know. I followed your instructions and told the teacher. There were many ministers from the six ministries around at the time. The teacher didn't say anything, just nodded, and I left."
"But not long after I came out, I saw Shen Zhao go in. After he came out, I don't know where he went."
Su Qingyu had some vague guesses in her mind, but it didn't matter how Shen Zhao went there. What mattered was how this matter was resolved.
She thanked Li Yunzhou, turned around and went back outside the crowd, standing next to Shen Yue.
Then Emperor Xuande heard him say, "I will grant Chaoyun and Shen Zhao a marriage when I return. The Shen family should prepare to propose marriage."
Old Madam Shen didn't say much, just said yes.
Shen Yue muttered to Su Qingyu, "If she marries into the Shen family, will we ever have a peaceful life in the future?"
After thinking for a while, he said, "But I'm not afraid, as Uncle San is here."
In Shen Yue's heart, as long as Shen Zhixiu is there, this family can live in peace.
Su Qingyu raised a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and the warmth in her eyes gradually dissipated.
"She can't cause any trouble."
If Shen Zhixiu still had to interfere in the affairs of the inner house, wouldn't she, the third wife of the Shen family, be a complete failure?
