When Shen Can met Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu, she felt at ease.
After drinking a cup of tea, he stood up and said: "I have to go back and resume my life. Now that you are back, we have plenty of time to reminisce about the past. At this moment, the emperor is waiting for you in the palace to apologize."
He chuckled and said goodbye.
Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu immediately sent him out.
Shen Can took the people away and returned to the palace to recover, while Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu went to find the concubine.
Shen Mingzhu glanced at him on the way and said with a smile: "One mouthful for the father-in-law, the prince is so easy to pronounce."
Xiao Xian smiled and said: "Of course, we are engaged and your father is already my father-in-law. There is nothing wrong with that."
When he called her father-in-law, he felt happy, as if Mingzhu was already his wife.
Although the wedding was only a few days away, he was still a little anxious, but he suppressed that eagerness and made sure to do all the etiquette in order to give Mingzhu an unforgettable wedding.
The two of them entered the room to greet Concubine Xie and told her that the emperor had sent Shen Can to deliver the decree.
When Concubine Xie heard that Shen Mingzhu had been pardoned, she said happily: "This is a good thing, so as not to have to waste time in the future."
Shen Mingzhu escaped to death, and later she also faked her death and left the capital, just to not hold Xiao Xian back, and Xiao Xian pretended to be crazy, which was a sign of weakness for the emperor.
But the emperor obviously didn't appreciate it.
Shen Mingzhu said: "Don't worry, Princess, things are different now. No matter what they do, we will not be afraid of them."
If the emperor wants to take action against them, he has to consider whether he can succeed. If he cannot succeed, he may lose his throne by then.
Concubine Xie said: "Do you want to go into the palace to express gratitude and apologize?"
She always felt a little awkward when it came to asking for forgiveness. After all, whatever her son's fault was, it was because the emperor was too small-minded and could not tolerate others.
She no longer counted on her husband, but such a good son would never let him be wronged.
No matter whose child he is, she has raised him since he was a child, and she will never let him be wronged.
Xiao Xian nodded, "Mom, you have to go to the palace, and you have to go to the emperor to see me. As for asking for forgiveness, it depends on how you say it."
From what he said, it seemed that everything had been planned, and Mrs. Xie was no longer worried.
She took Shen Mingzhu's hand and smiled and said: "I have to get people ready. Tomorrow we will hold a banquet and entertain guests. We will invite all our relatives and friends, as well as Mrs. Pei and Mrs. Mo, to come over and have fun. They have always taken care of me when I was in Daizhou, and now that I have come to the capital, I can fulfill my duties as a landlord."
Several people laughed, and Shen Mingzhu said: "Don't be too tired, Princess. Just let them prepare. You'd better have a good rest. You are very tired from the long journey."
Concubine Xie was in high spirits, "I'm not tired, I'm happy. Mingzhu, we have agreed a long time ago that you don't call me concubine, you should call me mother."
Shen Mingzhu's cheeks turned red and she said, "Wouldn't it be more meaningful to change your mind after getting married in a few days? Why should the concubine be in a hurry?"
Seeing her shy look, Concubine Xie became more and more fond of her and said that she was lucky to have found such a good wife.
Xiao Xian stood there and smiled, looking at Shen Mingzhu's eyes with a hint of stupidity.
Concubine Xie asked them again, "Should Mingzhu go back to Shen Mansion first, or do you want to go directly to the palace?"
