Chapter 224 The Emperor Bestows Marriage on the Eighth Princess
Chapter 224 The Emperor Grants Marriage to the Eighth Princess
"Is that really her son?" Mrs. Li murmured to herself.
She really didn't understand, Shen Wanxue already had a child, why did her son still miss her? Could it be that her son didn't know about this?
"Madam, what's going on?"
"Is she married?"
"I don't know. When I go home, I want to ask clearly..."
Shen Wanxue knew clearly that the Li family knew that she had a son, so they would definitely give up on the matter that promoted her to Li Xuan.
Although it is possible that her reputation is not very good in their minds, she does not care about this kind of thing.
"Xiaobao, from now on you will be with your second uncle in the capital. You must study hard and be the next top scholar in a new subject, okay?"
"Grandma, I will definitely become the number one scholar in a new subject, so that Grandma will have face!" Xiaobao said excitedly.
"Okay, you, grandma is very relieved!" Shen Wanxue stretched out her hand and gently scratched his little nose.
Not to mention how happy the whole family is.
The two of them didn't go home until the afternoon.
At this moment, Shen Mansion.
A little girl was wandering anxiously inside the door. The servants at the door frowned when they saw her.
This little girl always hangs around the door without going in or saying what she is doing. Her behavior is very strange.
When Shen Wanxue walked back with Xiaobao, she saw Hong Qian's figure. Despite this, Shen Wanxue still pretended not to see it.
She is not afraid of trouble, nor is she afraid of causing trouble. She just simply doesn't want to have too much contact with this person.
When Hong Qian saw Shen Wanxue holding a beautiful little baby in her hand, she hesitated and finally stood in front of her.
"Shen Wanxue, I have something to tell you!"
"Sorry, I don't have time!" Shen Wanxue took a step back, pulled Xiaobao around her, and continued walking towards Shen's mansion.
"You, Shen Wanxue, if I can come to you, this girl has already stepped down for you. You can't stay here without knowing what's going on!"
Shen Wanxue: "..." Ignoring it, the leader left a trace of his back unceremoniously.
Hong Qian didn't expect that she had already lost face and came to see her, but she was so rude to her, and she suddenly became furious.
After all, she is the daughter of a rich man, but she has the body of a rich man. Why do they ignore themselves like this?
"Shen Wanxue, come out if you have the ability? What qualifications do you have to be so superior? Do you really think you are so great? Let me tell you, you are extremely lucky to have me here..."
She was not very tall. She stood at the door and started chirping, but no one paid any attention to her.
The people in the Shen Mansion all avoided this person when they saw her, and did not even bother to answer her words.
"What's going on? That crazy woman came here?" Shen Yufu was waving the weapon in his hand in the courtyard. He saw his sister and Xiaobao coming back, and then heard a lot of noise outside. sound.
"Third brother, don't pay attention to her!" After Shen Wanxue told Xiaobao, Shen Wanxue asked Feibao to take him away.
"This rich lady is troublesome!" Shen Yufu didn't take it seriously!
"Third brother, it's so boring, I almost want to leave!" Shen Wanxue frowned.
The capital was really not suitable for her, and she was thinking of leaving just a few days after arriving.
"Sister, I don't think it's interesting either. How about we discuss it with my second brother and let's go back!"
"Well, Xiaobao, please stay here. With the second brother taking care of you, there shouldn't be any big problem!"
"I think it's okay. It's better here in Kyoto than here!"
After the two people discussed it, they planned to tell the second brother about the matter at night to discuss it.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the second brother had just arrived at the mansion, and before the two of them had time to express their thoughts, the imperial edict arrived.
Upon hearing that it was an imperial edict, everyone in the entire mansion knelt down.
After the princes in the palace announced the contents of the imperial edict, Shen Yuhua accepted it.
Shen Wanxue and Shen Yufu were both shocked. They didn't react until the people in the palace had left.
"Second brother, you, this imperial edict..."
Shen Yuhua thought for a while and then said: "You two follow me to the study!"
After the three people arrived in the study, Shen Yuhua thought for a long time before speaking: "The royal family is fierce in internal fighting.
The prince has passed away and has only one legitimate son, who is only seven or eight years old.
The emperor's health has been declining, so he is struggling with who should pass the throne to him. There are five princes and three princesses in the emperor.
The Second Prince, the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince are constantly arguing, and they all have certain supporters. The Seventh Prince is ignorant of worldly affairs.
They were not born from the same mother, and now they are eyeing the throne.
I was also the top scholar in a new subject, and the emperor was worried that I would get together with someone with evil intentions. Therefore, he betrothed the eighth princess to me.
Just because the mothers of the seventh prince and the eighth princess are both concubines.
From now on, he can rest assured, and I will be bound to the Seventh Prince!"
"It's so complicated!" Shen Yufu frowned.
"Second brother, I have no objection to who you are with. I just hope that you will be safe and sound.
Becoming a consort may help her rise to the top in the eyes of others. She is a princess after all, and she has been pampered since she was a child. I'm afraid she might accidentally..."
"It doesn't matter! Second brother has already made a plan!" Shen Yuhua said, looking at his sister. There were some words he really didn't know how to say.
"The imperial edict only mentions the marriage between you and the Eighth Princess, but it doesn't say when it will be held, right?"
"Well, let's agree to this marriage for now!"
"Second brother, I'm afraid that neither I nor third brother can help you with this matter! Suddenly the princess becomes your sister-in-law, I'm a little excited to think about it..."
Shen Yuhua: "..."
"Well, we can only let nature take its course!"
The news that the eighth princess was betrothed to a new top scholar spread quickly throughout Kyoto. This caught people a bit off guard because the news came so suddenly.
The eighth princess is the youngest princess of the emperor. She is also the youngest daughter of Concubine Shu and the biological sister of the seventh prince.
He was betrothed to a new top scholar, and everyone was stunned. Even those who were ready to make a move suddenly became quiet when they got the news.
Everyone knows that the seventh prince does not have any real rights. Now that the new number one scholar and the eighth princess are brought together, this simply determines the future of the new number one scholar.
Therefore, those people who were a bit flattering before have all retreated.
Shen Yuhua was not affected by this and continued to go to court as usual every day. Although he received many unfriendly looks, he ignored them.
