Chapter 20 Proposal

In winter, the Empress Dowager and the emperor sent someone to the Anguo Mansion to make a final determination, saying that when Shen Xuanji became filial in the next spring, she would get married with Xue Zhen.

Because of this marriage, Wei Han has been much more popular recently. When he went down to the court, he was surrounded by people. Wei Han had to return the gift and promised to be a host before he was released home.

He came to the carriage that had been waiting for a long time and saw the driver standing stiffly on the ground. He felt strange and asked, "What's the matter?" Then he lifted his feet and boarded the car.

The driver did not answer, but the little man pulled the curtain. Wei Han looked in and was so shocked that he almost fell out of the car.

"Lord Nine and Nine, what are you going to do in my car?"

Xue Zhen pulled Wei Han into the car and made a "quit" gesture at his mouth, "Duke, whisper!"

Wei Han frowned, "Ninth Prince, this is not polite. It is spread to hinder the reputation of the prince and his nephew's daughter."

Xue Zhen opened his eyes seriously, "I know, so I hide... sit in your car!"

"As long as you don't say it, I won't say it. If Miss Shen doesn't say it, no one will know!" He narrowed his eyes with a smile. Wei Han was very helpless, but he couldn't push him down, so he had to call the driver to leave.

Because of her filial piety, Shen Xuanji has hardly walked out of the door in two or three years, so it was not difficult for her to go out during this period of time when she decided not to go out.

The dowry was prepared by Mrs. Ye, and the wedding ceremony was also prepared by Aunt Chun and Ye Dongyu. Originally, Yao also helped to cook, but she paid a large amount of money from her account, and everything she bought was vulgar. Mrs. Ye was furious at first sight.

"The flower was originally the silver of the Shen family. What are you doing like this? I think you are old and cute, aren't you?"

Yao didn't believe it, "Old lady, who are you lying to? How much salary can uncle have? Isn't it all my sister-in-law's dowry? Why is my sister-in-law's dowry not the money of the Wei family?

Mrs. Ye was almost pissed off and patted Xiaoji, "Do you think your sister-in-law is you? Didn't the family have any savings over the years? Don't say these words to make their sister and brother sad. If you let me know, you must tell the master!"

Yao's heart has a book. The old house, land and title of the Shen family are inherited by Yulang. The family's wealth is divided into three parts, and the three sisters of Xuanji are each one. In addition, a few more Zhuangzi are also limited. Yao believes that although Wei Li's dowry is also divided into three parts on the surface, Mrs. Ye must be considerate of Shen Xuanji and Shen Yuluo. She is just a face for Shen Coral. After all, Mrs. Ye is a human, and she will not really love her son-in-law and other women's daughters.

She detained Shen Xuanji's silver this time, which was the money of her and Wei Ji. When Shen Yingluo was married, Shen Yingluo's dowry was naturally also their mother and son. Second aunt, is your calculation too refined?

Yao told Aunt Xiang about this calculation, smiled on her face and praised her for her success, but secretly said in her heart, you know nothing!

She went to the "Linlang Pavilion" many times, always taking advantage of Shen Xuanji's absence. Shen Yuluo was too lazy to accept her. Only Shen Coral, who was young and ignorant, was hammered by her and had already made a lot of words. Although it doesn't matter, at least the wind direction will be wrong.

She knows very well that even if Mrs. Ye will not deliberately treat Shen Coral well, her two sisters will never treat her harshly.

When she thought like this, the target slowly shifted. In the final analysis, it was too difficult to marry Shen Yuluo. After she calmed down, she regretted that she had crooked her brain to fight with Yao. In case Shen Yuluo is provoked, she is fierce, but it is difficult to get off. Fortunately, at this time, Shen Coral came into her field of vision.

It's easy to say that a concubine's daughter is not a concubine's daughter, mainly because Shen Coral is young and ignorant of the world. Even if Shen Xuanji and Shen Yuluo know in the future, as long as she cries and begs by herself, they must be soft-hearted.

They are all the same princess sisters, and they all have the same meaning for Xiangyuan.

The plan for my aunt has taken shape, and Yao is still dreaming.

At this time, no one knows the obscene thoughts of their sisters, and the three Shen sisters are nestling together to make needles and threading.

The princess's wedding clothes are regulated. Shen Xuanji can't do it herself, so she has to embroider some small things such as covers, belts and purses. Shen Yuluo is lazy in poetry and sewing, so she is talking with her. Shen Coral lay on the edge of the bed to pick the line.

Shen Xuanji looked at the two sisters with mixed feelings. She remembers that when she fled, the girl was still young and weak, and the coral was even more ignorant. More than two years later, both of them had grown upright, and their faces showed a completely different look from that time.

"What is your sister looking at?" Shen Coral touched his face and his eyes were watery.

"Look at the flowers on your face!" Shen Xuanji smiled and said, "You are so old, it's time to find your mother-in-law's house."

Shen Coral's face suddenly turned red, "My sister is thinking about being a matchmaker before she becomes a daughter-in-law!" She turned her body aside, and Shen Xuanji came to coax her again.

The sisters were playing when they saw Qingqi coming in. Shen Xuanji stood up and said, "Why are you free to come here now? Is everything on the old lady's side?"

The green face is difficult, "It's the old lady who asked me to treat you."

Shen Xuanji said curiously, "Didn't the old lady say that I don't have to go there today? What's the matter?"

Qingqi eats Ai Ai even more. Shen Xuanji can't understand her like that, "You have something to say directly. What's going on today?"

"Oh, just come with me!" Qingying was anxious and pulled Shen Xuanji away. Shen Xuanji shouted "hey" and was pulled away by her until the small garden behind the "Listening to the Rain Pavilion".

"What are you doing? Why did you bring me here? Didn't the old lady call me? Is it Yulang? What's wrong with you? The embroidery hasn't been released yet..." Shen Xuanji was still complaining. As soon as she raised her head, she was stunned.

"Lord Nine and Nine, why are you here?" Qingzhen has run away for a long time. Only Xue Zhen stood there in a rusty red fox coat. Behind him was a clump of bamboo and snow was still piled up.

"What did you embroider?" I haven't heard Xue Zhen's voice for a long time, and I actually feel very clear and pleasant at this time. Shen Xuanji blushed at this shameless idea, "I didn't embroider anything."

"Let me have a look." Xue Zhen stretched out his hand to her. His fingers were slender, his nails were as clean as shells, and the lines of his palms were clear and deep.

"It's just..." Shen Xuanji was so ashamed that she wanted to hit the wall. Who let her embroider this pattern at the beginning?

"and Tilian." Xue Zhen smiled, "This pattern is also ordinary, similar to mandarin ducks and dragons and phoenixes. Why are you so scared?"

"Don't... say..." Shen Xuanji gritted his teeth fiercely and spit out three words from between his teeth.

Xue Zhen was afraid that she would really be angry, so he didn't say anything and just looked at her with a smile. Shen Xuanji went out in a hurry and only put on a big cloak. He asked again, "Are you cold?"

Shen Xuanji was afraid that he would take his clothes and undress again, so he was afraid that he couldn't tell clearly. He quickly shook his head, "It's not cold. I'm very hot!"

"Do you have a fever?" Xue Zhen was anxious again and didn't dare to reach out to touch Shen Xuanji's forehead. "Touch it yourself."

"The prince is here, but what's the matter?" Shen Xuanji quickly interrupted his cold and warm feelings, "If you have something to ask the prince to order, let people see it. I'm afraid it's not good." The engaged man and woman should not see each other before marriage. She spit on Xue Zhen in her heart, who is still the prince, and she doesn't even understand this truth.

"I'm here to ask you a word." Xue Zhen finally talked about the topic, and it was inevitable that he was a little embarrassed. He was also very worried. In case Shen Xuanji was too straightforward to tell the truth, how could he deal with himself?

"What are you talking about?" Shen Xuanji opened his eyes slightly and looked up at him.

"Are you, are you, really, really willing to marry me?" When they said this, both of them were immediately as ashamed as ripe prawns.

Shen Xuanji waited to stab him and felt very indecent. She tilted her head and thought about it, but Xue Zhen didn't dare to look at her, as if she was more afraid of him.

Her heart suddenly softened and didn't want to entertain him. She whispered, "I think it won't be too bad..."

If it were someone else, it would be inevitable to say that Shen Xuanji was too ignorant to praise. Unexpectedly, Xue Zhen's eyes would light up, "No, no, how can it be bad? It won't be bad, ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, it won't be bad!"

Shen Xuanji was so scared that he retreated a few steps and asked timidly, "Your Majesty, how are you?"

"It's okay," Xue Zhen arched his hand to Shen Xuanji, "I'm fine. I'm leaving. You go back early. It's too cold outside."

Shen Xuanji felt a little regretful at this time. How could this man be nagging, but what's the use of regretting at this time?

As she thought, she slowly walked out of the small garden with a smile on the corners of her mouth.

"Big girl!" Shen Xuanji looked at Fang Chen with a sad face, "Brother Fang, three times."

Fang Chen did not laugh as usual, but looked at her a little melancholy, "I just saw the ninth prince."

Shen Xuanji blushed and answered "um" in a low voice. Fang Chen smiled slightly and his eyes darkened. "Since the eldest girl will be taken care of in the future, I will also leave."

"Where are you going?" Shen Xuanji was shocked.

Fang Chen shook his hand with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I want to vote for the 'Wei Army' and ask the eldest girl to ask for a letter of recommendation for me."

"Brother Fang, what am I not doing well?" Shen Xuanji's face was no more shy, and she looked as stable and generous as usual, but her eyes were covered with a layer of moisture.

"Big girl, don't be too careful." Fang Chen was not good at words. Seeing that she was about to cry, he didn't know what to do. It's not that you didn't do well, but that I was wrong from the beginning.

He was sad. It was the time when he went back and forth, but he saw Shen Xuanji wiped his face and said with a smile, "It's Brother Fang's wish to serve the country, I know. Don't worry, I'll send someone to send it to you when my uncle writes the letter.

Fang Chen nodded and said very solemnly to Shen Xuanji, "If one day the eldest girl calls me back, I will die."

"Why is it so scary?" Shen Xuanji smiled anly, "I heard that the weather in northern Xinjiang is colder than Wanping. Although you are very good at it, you should also take care of yourself."

She smiled cheerfully, "I'm still waiting for the day when you defeat Beijin and return to the court triumphantly, which is also a fulfillment of my father's wish!"

Fang Chen also smiled, "If the ninth prince bullies you, you can send me a letter." He looked at Shen Xuanji's eyes and said slowly, word by word, "You have a family. You don't have to be bullied."

Shen Xuanji felt that her tears were about to rush out. She waved to Fang Chen and said softly, "Don't worry, it won't happen."
