Chapter 806 Identity (1)
As soon as these words were spoken, the room suddenly fell silent.
Luo Xueyan didn't dare to look into Shen Miao's eyes. Shen Xin's voice revealed deep fatigue. Luo Ling was stunned. Luo Tan opened his mouth wide. But it was Shen Qiu who slammed the table and stood up: "What the hell is this!"
The calmest thing is actually the most profound.
Although she appeared calm on the surface, her heart was not without ripples. She had long thought of Xie Jingxing's move, but she had never expected Xie Jingxing to be so brazen... Wait, how did he get Emperor Wenhui to issue an imperial decree to grant the marriage?
While Shen Miao was thinking, Shen Qiu couldn't wait to stand up and said anxiously: "Who is Prince Rui? How can my sister, a girl from Mingqi, marry someone from Daliang? Is the emperor crazy?"
"Qiu'er!" Luo Xueyan glared at him: "Be careful with your words!" Walls have ears, and the royal family might have spies everywhere. Chen Qiu was so angry that he actually said such outrageous words.
Chen Qiu suddenly shut up, glanced at Shen Miao, scratched his head and said, "No matter what, my sister can't marry that bastard Prince Rui... Prince Rui, why does this name sound so familiar..." A light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "So it's that guy! I was wondering why the dignified Prince of Daliang would take the initiative to greet me, it turns out he came for my sister, damn it!"
Shen Xin frowned when he heard this and asked, "Have you met King Rui?"
"Last time, my cousin Ling and I met him on the way back home, and he invited me to compete at Prince Rui's Mansion," Chen Qiu said angrily, "If I had known that this was his intention, I should have cut off his horse's legs and let him fall to his death!"
Shen Miao: “…”
Luo Ling was also stunned for a moment, then thought of something and looked towards Shen Miao.
Shen Miao was baffled by Luo Ling's complicated gaze, but at this moment, she didn't have the heart to ask any more questions. She just asked Shen Xin, "Is this the imperial decree issued by His Majesty? Why did the Emperor suddenly grant me a marriage?"
If Daliang had many girls of marriageable age, the royal family also had several princesses and a number of princesses. There was no need to cling to her anyway. Of course, Shen Miao knew this was Xie Jingxing's idea, but she still wanted to find out how Xie Jingxing had convinced Emperor Wenhui.
Shen Xin looked at Shen Miao with a heavy heart. After a pause, he sighed and said, “Jiao Jiao, it’s Daddy who is incompetent——” He then slowly told the story of today.
Today, during court, Emperor Wenhui had finished handling some court affairs, but as he was leaving, he suddenly changed the subject and mentioned that Prince Rui of Daliang was interested in marrying a princess from Mingqi and bringing her back to the country. Some court officials were excited, while others were uneasy. Those who loved their daughters naturally didn't want them to marry far away, while those who were determined to climb the social ladder hoped their daughters would marry Prince Rui, at least to become a princess.
Emperor Wenhui did not give everyone a chance to think and directly granted the marriage. The girl he granted the marriage to was Shen Miao, the legitimate daughter of the mighty general Shen Xin.
Everyone was stunned. Everyone knew that Shen Miao was the apple of Shen Xin's eye. If Shen Miao were to marry to Daliang, Shen Xin would probably be unwilling. And now, Ming Qi needed Shen Xin so much, so why would Emperor Wen Hui be trying to antagonize Shen Xin at this time? Even though the court officials were as cunning as foxes, they couldn't see through the emperor's heart this time.
Shen Xin was naturally filled with rage, wishing he could draw his sword and chop down the Golden Throne Hall. He could endure all kinds of grievances, but he couldn't let his daughter suffer any injustice. Emperor Wenhui hadn't even consulted him this time, directly granting Shen Miao the marriage. This meant the Shen family had no chance to object. If they did, it would be disobeying the emperor's order, and the entire Shen family would perish with them. Shen Miao wouldn't agree to that either.
