In the past few days, he was really too tired. In addition to physical fatigue, he was also mentally stressed.
Therefore, I slept almost all day and all night.
When Shen woke up, his head was still a little groggy. He sat up from the bed. There was some movement. Tian Chong, who was guarding the door, immediately ran all the way to find his father Jiang Sheng. Jiang Sheng quickly called him. Bring a basin of hot water over.
Shen Yi washed his face and asked, "What time is it?"
Jiang Sheng looked up and looked outside and replied: "It's almost noon."
Shen Yi's movements on his hands paused for a moment, then he rubbed his brows and frowned, "I've been sleeping for so long..."
He looked up at Jiang Sheng and asked, "Is there nothing major happening in the capital during this day?"
"No, it's so quiet and weird."
"The imperial guards outside the city that the Marquis asked to pay attention to were all peaceful and did not move."
Jiang Sheng paused and continued: "Last night, Luo Sizheng came here, and the inner guard also sent someone to deliver some documents."
Shen Yi frowned: "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"See you, little Marquis."
Jiang Sheng said softly: "The young Marquis also read the documents. The young Marquis said that there was nothing particularly important, so he did not let us disturb the Marquis' rest."
"Little Marquis said..."
Jiang Sheng whispered: "It's such a big thing, we can't tire the Marquis anymore, otherwise the court will really be in chaos."
Shen Yi was silent for a moment and sighed slightly: "This child has really grown up a lot in the few years he has been out."
"yes."
Jiang Sheng smiled and said: "It's much better than before. At first, you were worried that the young prince would be too cowardly and useless. Now it seems that the young prince is able to take charge of his own business, or..."
"Still very much like Mr. Hou."
Shen Yi hummed, stood up, put on his clothes, and said silently: "In a moment, bring the food to me in the study. I'll eat something casually in the study. I have to go out in the afternoon."
"yes."
Shen Yi stepped out and said, "Go to Ji'er and ask him to come to the study to find me."
"yes."
A moment later, the second young master Shen Ji, dressed in winter clothes, appeared in Shen Yi's study. He bowed slightly and said, "Father."
Mr. Shen put down the brush in his hand and said, "Sit down and talk."
Shen Ji did not sit down as he was told, but walked to the desk and sharpened the ink for Shen Yi. While sharpening the ink, he asked again and again: "Dad, what do you want to do with the child?"
"There is something I want to discuss with you."
Speaking of this, Shen Yi seemed to feel that the choice of words was inappropriate, and sighed: "I should say that I told you."
Shen Ji is a very smart man. With just these two sentences, he understood the meaning of Shen Yi's words. He quickly said with a smile: "You gave birth to me and raised me. No matter what happens, as long as you decide, the child will do it." .”
"It's about your marriage."
Shen said silently: "When I was young, I thought about the marriage of you children. When you grow up, it will be up to you to choose the one you like and get married. Now your brother, your sister, including you …”
“It seems like I can’t help myself.”
Shen Ji lowered his head and said, "Dad, have you decided to marry your child?"
"That's about it."
Shen Yi said silently: "A few days ago, His Majesty said that Princess Ning Guo will be betrothed to you. After your sister's wedding tomorrow, the imperial edict granting you the marriage will probably be issued."
"Ning Guo...Princess Ning Guo?"
Shen Ji was startled, then suddenly raised his head to look at his father: "Dad, this is not the Queen..."
"yes."
Shen Yi said quietly: "The emperor's legitimate daughter."
Seeing that his son seemed a little shocked, Mr. Shen added: "But don't worry, my father will not let you be like other princes-in-law who need to report before going to the princess's house. Then you will live in our Shen family's house."
"After all, this house..."
Mr. Shen said softly: "Your brother probably won't live too long."
Shen Ji scratched his head and said, "Dad, will anyone in the court object to this?"
Mr. Shen said softly: "Your Majesty mentioned that it was something that my father agreed to."
"It is useless for anyone to object."
Shen Ji lowered his head and said, "If the father agrees, the child agrees."
"It's just a child...it's a bit too high."
"As long as you don't feel wronged."
Shen Yi said silently: "In the future, the Shen family's business in the capital will most likely depend on you, Ji'er."
Shen Ji bowed and saluted: "My child does not have the bravery of his elder brother. He can take care of his father's house. I am already satisfied."
Shen Yi stood up, walked to Shen Ji, and patted his shoulder: "You are so obedient."
"Go to your mother and talk to her."
"yes."
Shen Ji bowed his head and silently exited the study.
The moment he turned around, the second son of the Shen family looked slightly sad.
He was in a complicated mood.
A mixed blessing.
Fortunately, his status as a commoner son finally became nobler in the future.
What is worrying is that the future will probably stop here.
However, he has a non-competitive temperament, a bit like Shen Yi's gentle side. He only felt melancholy for a moment, then raised his head and walked forward. Not long after, he walked to his mother Ye Chan's villa. After knocking on the door and walking in, he saw My mother was teaching her sister to write.
His sister's name is Shen Jin, whose nickname is Qingqing. She is Mr. Shen's youngest daughter. She is only in her early tenth year.
My dear, there will be more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue, there will be more exciting things to come!
"Mother."
Shen Ji stepped forward to greet him, then bent down to look at his sister's handwriting, and chuckled, "Qingqing's handwriting has improved a lot."
Ye Chan glanced at her son, then stood up and walked aside.
"Is something wrong with Ji'er?"
"Well, I have something to tell my mother."
He paused and added: "Father should have told you, but my father has been too busy in recent days, so I asked my son to tell you first..."
Ye Chan frowned and then said, "What's the matter? Just tell me."
"The father has found a marriage for his child."
When Ye Chan heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "Which family is the girl from?"
"Royal."
Shen Ji lowered his head slightly and said: "The Queen's second daughter, Princess Ningguo..."
Ye Chan was startled at first, and then became excited: "Is this... can this... really be possible?"
"Father said that the imperial edict granting marriage will be issued soon..."
Ye Chan was overjoyed, took her son's hand, and said with a smile: "This is such a great thing, why are you covering it up?"
"Have you told your aunt?"
Shen Ji shook his head: "Not yet."
Ye Chan pulled her son's sleeve and said with a smile: "Let's go and talk to your aunt and tell her the good news."
Shen Ji hesitated and said: "Mom, if we rush over like this, will aunt think that we are showing off..."
"What are you showing off for?"
Ye Chan shook her head slightly and said: "Your eldest brother still looks down on the royal princesses. What is there to show off?"
"This is a family wedding, so naturally I have to tell my mistress, why are you so thoughtful at such a young age?"
Shen Ji scratched his head and said nothing.
The mother and son went to meet Lu Ruoxi together.
…………
The next day, the prince got married.
In the past two days, Shen and other officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion were busy with the matter of the prince's wedding, and never had a moment to spare.
But even so, the preparations for the big wedding were only half-baked, and many things were not done in time.
However, there is no other way to do it in a hurry.
His Royal Highness the Prince's wedding will still be held as scheduled.
Because it was the prince's wedding, and he was marrying the future empress, there was a lot of excitement outside the palace. Shen Yi, his wife, and the Shen family all came to the palace and participated in the entire wedding.
It is a pity that His Majesty the Emperor was unable to attend the wedding due to physical reasons. Only the Queen and His Highness the Crown Prince's biological mother participated in the wedding ceremony.
At sunset, the wedding finally came to an end, and the civil and military officials gathered in the East Palace to toast and drink.
Lord Shen was placed in the first place and sat at the same table as Lu Ruoxi. From time to time during the dinner, people came up to toast and congratulate the couple.
Mr. Shen dealt with it one after another, looking in the direction of Deqing Palace from time to time.
After Lu Ruoxi drank a few glasses of wine, her face turned a little red. She pulled Shen Yi's sleeve and sighed, "Unknowingly, the children have grown up."
Shen Yi turned to look at his wife, held her hand, and was about to speak.
A young eunuch hurried over and trotted all the way to Shen Yi, trying hard to suppress his trembling voice: "Master Hou, Master Hou..."
"Deqing Palace, Deqing Palace..."
He was so anxious that he couldn't speak and was about to cry: "Go quickly..."
Shen Yi stood up silently and looked at his family, his voice hoarse.
