Chapter 23 Princess

"Auntie, go back and tell Concubine that whether it's man-made or God's will, I, Wang Shu, have never admitted defeat, and I will come back."

After a long time, Wang Shu opened her mouth. At this moment, the oath in her mouth was really not in line with her appearance, but Li Ge didn't say anything...

In the afternoon, the Wang family's carriage waited at the palace gate and picked up Wang Shu. Shen Sirong knew that Wang Shu was leaving and kept standing in front of the window watching, knowing that it was getting dark, and she did not move.

If she guessed correctly, Wang Shu would have suffered for her. Generally speaking, the wind was not big last night, and now it is also very dry, so it is not easy to get rubella. And time is too coincidental. So she concluded that the matter was man-made. And the target should be her...

Where on earth is the poison?

Shen Sirong doesn't know who is behind the scenes. If it hadn't been for the cold fragrance sent by Mother Lan, I would have been the biggest suspicion.

And when Wang Shu left, the probability of the remaining four people increased.

On the day of the election, the clothes and jewelry they wore were exactly the same, which was unprecedented. It is said that it was proposed by the prince. Although everyone felt strange, there was no objection.

Han Qianxue, Ye Su, Shen Sirong, Song Yiyi.

All four are wearing water-blue gauze skirts, embroidered with colorful cloud patterns on the sleeves and skirts, silk embroidered shoes under their feet, and auspicious cloud buns on their heads. Standing neatly in the Zichen Hall of Shangyang Palace.

According to the rules, the prince and the emperor need to decide together to choose the concubine. At this time, the emperor's concubine and the prince had not yet come, so they had to stand aside and wait.

It wasn't long before Xiao Yuanfeng, the king of glass, entered the palace.

"I've seen the glass king."

Xiao Yuanfeng went through the door of the palace and saw Shen Sirong among the crowd at a glance. Today, she was carefully dressed and looked more beautiful. Compared with the other three people, she was less nervous and deliberate, and had no sense of attitude at all.

He stood opposite Shen Sirong and smiled at her. His bright face was warm. Shen Sirong also smiled politely. Han Qianxue looked at them and glanced elsewhere.

"His Royal Highness has arrived."

Before the voice of the internal supervisor fell, he saw Xiao Yuanqi coming out of the inner hall. It seemed that he had already come to Shangyang Palace.

Xiao Yuanqi came in advance to confirm what Xiao Ze thought, but he didn't expect his father to leave only one sentence: feel free. He ignored the incident of the Ministry of Internal Affairs a few days ago and watched his father solve it. He also understood that his father did not want to marry Shen Si to Xiao Yuanfeng.

Just came in and saw Shen Sirong and Xiao Yuanfeng smiling at each other. He only felt ridiculous. He remembered that Shen Sirong said that he had only a few faces with Xiao Yuanfeng that night.

Their relationship made Xiao Yuanqi vigilant. Whether what happened in those years had anything to do with the Wang family or not, now the power of the Wang family must be suppressed. Will the Wang family let Shen Sirong be the princess of glass? Obviously not. Shen Sirong must have some meaning for them.

Xiao Yuanqi walked into the hall with a cold face. After the four of them saluted, Song Yiyi and Han Qianxue put on what they thought were the most beautiful smile, hoping that Xiao Yuanqi would take a look and hope that they could be selected by him. Ye Su has a rigid and dignified appearance, while Shen Sirong is indifferent to nature.

"I have seen His Royal Highness." Xiao Yuanfeng put away his smile and bowed his hand. Xiao Yuanqi wore the prince's clothes today, and Xiao Yuanfeng's clothes were kings and ministers.

"I haven't seen my seventh brother for some days. Let's go to my palace another day." Xiao Yuanqi said with a smile.

"Definite."

Xiao Yuanqi kept looking between the four people and looked at Xiao Yuanfeng from time to time. Although Xiao Yuanfeng had nothing to say to him, his attention did not leave Shen Sirong. Xiao Yuanqi looked sideways, and the narrow corners of his eyes raised slightly...

Shen Sirong could feel that there was a sight on her body that had never left her, which made her scalp numb and could not show anything strange, so he had to deliberately ignore it.

When she stood in this position, she began to think in her heart. The position of the crown princess is impossible for her, so she doesn't consider it. But I heard that if you are not selected, you will be accused of marriage. Li Wang knows what she thinks about her, but she really doesn't want to marry into the royal family.

"The emperor is here, and the Empress Shu is here." Shen Sirong's thoughts were interrupted, and she knelt down with the people in the hall.

Xiao Ze got angry that day and didn't go to Zilan Palace for several days. Today, he specially picked up Shufei and came down the steps.

After a few simple questions, Xiao Ze handed over the leadership to Prince Xiao Yuanqi.

"Yuan Qi, you have met these four ladies. Who do you want to choose as your concubine?" Xiao Ze asked bluntly. As soon as this was said, the breathing in the hall was lightened, so quiet that even the heartbeat echoed.

Xiao Yuanfeng's palm was pinched with sweat. He suppressed his desire to look up at Shen Sirong, turned around and pretended to make fun of Xiao Yuanqi and said, "Brother is so blessed. I'm also curious who can get the prince's blue eyes."

Is that right? Then I'm going to marry my father for my seventh brother..."

Xiao Yuanfeng shook his head as soon as he heard it and wanted to refuse, but when he thought about it, how could he ask for marriage if Shen Sirong was defeated later? So, he simply changed the topic: "Brother, let's decide quickly."

Xiao Yuanqi stood up, walked to the hall, and walked back and forth in front of the four people. Shen Sirong lowered her head and turned her eyes along the beautiful pattern at the front end of Xiao Yuanqi's boots. Knowing that the pattern was fixed in front of her, Shen Sirong felt a burst of depression. She raised her head and was facing Xiao Yuanqi's black eyes.

Shen Sirong was overwhelmed by his momentum, and his always calm face cracked a crack. Xiao Yuanfeng saw Xiao Yuanqi approaching her and subconsciously wanted to go forward, but was recalled by Shufei's gentle cough. Xiao Yuanqi deliberately took another step closer when he heard Shufei's cough.

"Are you Miss Shen?" Xiao Yuanqi asked.

"Your Highness, yes." Shen Sirong didn't know what he was selling. After answering, he waited for his follow-up. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuanqi suddenly turned around and strode away, which made Shen Sirong breathe a sigh of relief. However, before he could lower his throat, he was directly stuck by Xiao Yuanqi's next sentence.

"Father, please marry Miss Shen Sirong as the crown princess."

As soon as this word came out, there was an uproar in the hall. Shen Sirong seemed to have been crossed by thunder. There was no expression on Ye Su's face, and her eyes seemed to be happy. Song Yiyi's face was full of unwillingness, and the people present did not dare to react. Han Qianxue is more restrained than her, but the sadness in her eyes also shows her emotions. Compared with them, the last one to accept this news is Xiao Yuanfeng. As soon as he moved, he unconsciously wanted to walk to the center of the hall.

Concubine doesn't like Shen Sirong very much, but she is always the heart of her son. At this moment, she is preempted by Xiao Yuanqi's invitation to get married, and she is also flustered. How can Shufei still remember that she originally just wanted Shen Sirong to be the side concubine of King Li.

As soon as Xiao Yuanfeng moved, Shufei reacted and didn't care that Xiao Ze was on the side. Her voice was like broken wings, trembling and deliberately suppressed: "Yuanfeng, congratulations to your royal brother."

His chest was stuffy, and Xiao Yuanfeng clenched his fists and sent them away. He slowly walked to Xiao Yuanqi, bowed deeply, and closed his eyes: "Congratulations to Your Highness Hongluan."

The corners of Xiao Yuanqi's mouth were still shallow. He lowered his body and raised Xiao Yuanfeng's arm: "Thank you, seventh brother, for your good words." After saying that, Xiao Yuanqi looked deeply at Shen Sirong. He originally thought that the position of the crown princess was somewhat important to her, but he didn't expect that Shen Sirong's eyebrows were undisguisedly locked, and Xiao Yuanqi's eyes darkened.

Xiao Ze also saw Shen Sirong's expression and saw that her ambition was not in the deep palace. It was just right...

Seeing that the matter was settled, Xiao Ze announced a decree to inform the world and ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a good day to decide on an auspicious wedding. Shen Sirong was ordered by the emperor to return to Shen's mansion to wait for marriage.

In order to show the emperor's kindness, the emperor married the rest of the people to the talented men in the court. Ye Su married Tai Shicheng. Song Yiyi married the eldest son of the king of Qi, who is Xiao Yuanqi's cousin. Han Qianxue is assigned to the new scholar of Hanlin Academy.

Originally, the emperor wanted to marry Xiao Yuanfeng, but Xiao Yuanfeng found an excuse to refuse. Xiao Ze saw that he was unwilling and did not force him, so he only said that he would settle earlier.

Until he walked out of Shangyang Palace, Shen Sirong's heart did not sink. Ye Su came to say good to her, and she just responded with a dry smile. She ignored the envy of Han Qianxue and Song Yiyi and quickly returned to Chuxiu Palace after being in the internal prison. Xiao Yuanfeng rushed out of Shangyang Palace after Shen Sirong, but saw her leave in a hurry, with mixed feelings.

Zilan Palace.

"Feng'er, don't drink it. Wake up." When Shufei returned to the palace, she saw Xiao Yuanfeng, who was drinking in Zilan Palace. She was worried and went forward to take the wine pot in his hand.

"Mother concubine...Mother concubine..." Xiao Yuanfeng shouted, as if the person drowning in the water could not escape. The murmur in his mouth was his straw, which could give him the last trace of strength.

Shufei couldn't bear to hold his hand. When did her son have such a deep obsession?

Xiao Yuanfeng could not answer this question. He just thought that Shen Sirong was very special, and his appearance and intelligence were appreciated by him, so he wanted to marry her. But today, after the prince asked for marriage, he suddenly found that Shen Sirong could no longer belong to him. It was also at this time that he realized that the appreciation and love he gave had penetrated into his heart.

"Why, why..." Xiao Yuanfeng didn't know who he was asking and what he was asking. Ask the prince why he chose Shen Sirong? Ask yourself why you are slowing down? Why is it unfair?

Shufei found a trace of anger in Xiao Yuanfeng's eyes, and her eyes flashed. Perhaps, this was not a bad thing.

"Feng'er, do you ask why? The mother tells you that you are not the tallest one, because you don't have the supreme power, because you are not the prince. Shufei's words are tightly clenched.
