Chapter 192 Why did the emperor let the eldest sister marry Lu Yanfu as his second wife?
Shen Yunying looked at Li Yun with complicated eyes. She made a mistake in a moment and now there is no turning back.
She could only hold on to the person in front of her.
Thinking of what her grandfather had said to her, Shen Yunying knew that she could never return to her mother's home.
I can only rely on myself.
In front of Shen Yunying's maid and his followers, Li Yun hugged Shen Yunying and said softly:
"Angry?"
"No."
"I understand what you said, but I am the only one who knows what I said." Li Yun sniffed Shen Yunying's hair, "I am in a different position, so I naturally look at things differently from you."
"I believe your grandfather will understand as well."
Shen Yunying raised her head in panic, "I'm sorry. Am I holding you back?"
"No. Listen to my arrangements from now on."
Li Yun's breathing intertwined with hers, and he whispered until Shen Yunying's face turned a darker shade of red:
"You must learn to trust me in the future."
"Prince."
"Call me Brother Yun." Li Yun bit Shen Yunying's lips.
Shen Yunying couldn't help but let out a soft moan.
The maids behind looked at each other, unable to hide the panic in their eyes.
Li Yun's attendant looked straight ahead, as if blocking out all the sounds around him.
Shen Yunying is no match for Li Yun.
"Brother Yun."
She softened into a puddle of water in Li Yun's arms, and her voice was trembling like never before. Her lips bitten by Li Yun were burning hot, and she couldn't help but close her eyes.
Li Yun is a famous and stunning figure in Nanli Kingdom.
Even in the Great Zhou Dynasty, his appearance is first-class, coupled with his aura of a superior and a hint of arrogance and evil charm in his eyes.
It adds a different kind of charm.
Shen Yunying knew that Princess Dongyang and many other girls from aristocratic families in the capital were infatuated with Li Yun.
"Tomorrow, you go to Tang Mansion alone."
Shen Yunying's thoughts came back a little, "What do you mean?"
"Sister is angry, we always have to bow our heads first."
"Why did you do that to her?" Shen Yunying didn't dare to know the answer, "Is it really my sister?"
"Don't ask too many questions."
Li Yun sniffed the fragrance on Shen Yunying's face and gently bit her earlobe. He used a little force when grinding his teeth, and Shen Yunying couldn't help but scream in pain.
"pain."
There was an earring in Li Yun's mouth.
After spitting out the earrings, he let go of Shen Yunying.
"It hurts."
Say it.
He walked towards the door and the attendant came to open it.
Li Yun left straight away.
Shen Yunying, whose face was red as blood, was left alone.
Shen Yunying's maid hurried over and picked up the earrings, and said worriedly:
"Miss."
Shen Yunying touched the earlobe that was bitten by Li Yun with one hand. She always abided by her duty and never did anything against the rules. After meeting Li Yun, her life seemed different.
"It doesn't matter."
"But, I always feel that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Shen Yunying's face turned cold, "What about him? How can a prince not have a temper?"
The maid didn't dare to speak.
The next morning.
Shen Yunying came to Tang Mansion with her maid.
Hear the concierge's report.
Su Rutang frowned. He made it very clear yesterday.
"Just say I had a cold yesterday and I'm not feeling well. I'll make an appointment with her in a few days when I feel better."
"Let me go and tell you."
Chunxi was very dissatisfied with Shen Yunying and walked out directly.
Shen Yunying didn't wait for Su Rutang to come, and when she came again the next day, she found out that Su Rutang had entered the palace.
Su Rutang was called into the palace by the Queen.
When the queen saw her, she smiled and asked the female official to help Su Rutang up.
She stepped forward and held Su Rutang's hand, not letting go for a long time. Su Rutang felt uneasy, thinking that the queen, who had always been unkind to her, was a little sick.
The queen smiled and said:
"Madam Shang, the King of Zhendong, Lu Yanfu, will be returning to the capital soon to report on his work. Have you heard about it?"
Su Rutang was stunned.
Lu Yanfu, the Prince of Zhendong, was a king of a different surname, probably in his forties. His eldest son married the daughter of the emperor's confidant, and it was said that Lu Yanfu's children all had bad tempers.
"I don't know."
"Lu Yanfu's wife has been dead for several years. The emperor is worried that he has no one to love him, so he has to find a marriage for him." The queen smiled as she spoke, and it seemed that she really cared about Lu Yanfu.
"The King of Zhendong has concubines around him, right?"
"Of course there is no shortage of concubines, but concubines are not as good as second wives." The Queen patted the back of Su Rutang's hand, "Today, I am here to congratulate the Su family. The Su family is not in the capital now, and the emperor's decree has been sent out."
Su Rutang felt uneasy.
"Empress, is this an imperial decree granting marriage?"
"Su Rumei divorced and returned home, and the emperor is concerned about her marriage." The queen smiled and said, "Old man and young wife, Lu Yanfu is a loving husband."
Su Rutang's head was buzzing.
Did the royal family have an affair with the Su family’s daughter?
Lu Yanfu's eldest son is two years older than Su Rumei.
Su Rutang knelt down hurriedly, "Queen, I have no intention of marrying again..."
The Queen gave earnest advice:
"Su, you have been married three times. You naturally understand the benefits of getting married. Although Shang Yan is a eunuch, the dignity he brings to you is rare."
"You don't have to feel wronged. The King of Zhendong has plenty of wives to marry."
"I asked you to come here just to let your Su Mansion prepare. Su Rumei will return to the capital with the imperial edict this time. By then, she will be the real lady of Zhendong County, which is close to the border of Liguo."
Incense was burned in the temple.
Su Rutang still couldn't relieve his headache by smelling the incense.
She clenched her left hand into a fist.
She lowered her head to hide the hatred in her eyes, "Your Majesty obeys your command."
The queen smiled.
"I will definitely not let Su Rumei suffer any injustice. The emperor's granting of marriage is a great honor. The palace will also reward Su Rumei with a thousand taels of gold as a support."
After hearing what the Queen said, Su Rutang knew there was no room for maneuver.
My grandfather's concession only brought temporary peace.
The children of the Su family still could not escape the fate of being pawns. She was afraid that even if she was reborn, she would not be able to change the fate of the Su family being exterminated.
Su Rutang felt a sense of powerlessness and desolation.
The Queen said a few more words.
After giving Su Rutang a lot of rewards, he let her go.
After Su Rutang left.
Dou Tianya's wife came out from behind the screen and said, "Your Majesty, I see that Su is not very happy."
"Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. The Su family can only bear it." The queen massaged her face with a jade wheel. "We can only blame that bastard Su Buli for daring to deal with my brother."
Dou Tianya’s wife knew it in her heart, no matter whether Su Buli beat Dou Tianya or not.
The emperor has decided the fate of the Su family's daughter.
Su Rutang left the palace in a daze, "Go to Jinyiwei."
this moment.
She just wanted to see Shang Yan, and wanted Shang Yan to succeed.
Duhuo drove his carriage to the gate of Jinyiwei.
Eshi was standing at the door talking to a boy. He glanced at Duhuo helping Su Rutang down and hurried over to pay his respects.
"Ma'am. The master is inside."
"Let the message go out and tell them I'm here to see your Lord."
Eshi hurriedly laughed and said:
"My Lord has said that there is no need to inform the lady when she comes. Please come in."
Eshi brought Su Rutang inside.
Shang Yan, Yao Tongzhi and a few other men were discussing something. When they heard someone say that Su Rutang was coming, Shang Yan quickly stood up and went out to greet him.
"Rutang. What's wrong?"
Shang Yan, dressed in a dark official uniform, held Su Rutang's arm.
Su Rutang raised his eyes and looked at Shang Yan.
When their eyes met, she felt much more at ease. "The Emperor granted marriage to my elder sister, asking her to marry the Prince of Zhendong, Lu Yanfu, as his successor."
The crowd was in an uproar.
The emperor is keen on granting marriages, but today's marriages are not honorable at all.
Huo Mi slammed the table.
"The emperor is incompetent and can only rely on the daughters of ministers to maintain the dignity of the border. He even has to send daughters from high-class families to marry enemy countries, and he cannot even complain. What kind of wise ruler is he?"
Yao Tongzhi glared at Huo Mi angrily.
"Be careful, the walls have ears."
"To hell with the walls having ears. I've had enough of this bullshit." Huo Mi already had a bad temper, and after hearing what Su Rutang said, he wanted to directly instigate Shang Yan to rebel.
Yao Tongzhi raised his hand and punched Huo Mi in the chest.
"It doesn't matter if you die, just don't let your master get hurt."
Huo Mi kept silent.
Shang Yan looked at the people in the room, and his determined eyes fell on Su Rutang's face.
"Rutang, we are not helpless, but ready to strike."
Now is not a good time.
Many times, what is needed is the right time, right place and right people.
Su Rutang understood.
She just wanted to vent her dissatisfaction, but by then, she didn't know what Su Rumei would do.
Su Rutang held Shang Yan's hand tightly, "Don't regret your move."
Shang Yan could only enter holding Su Rutang's hand.
"Drink some tea and calm down."
"I'll ask someone to find out if there's any room for maneuver."
Shang Yan just asked someone to go out.
Then I heard someone say that someone from the Tang Mansion had come and said that the eldest daughter of the Su Mansion had returned.
Su Rutang was stunned.
It turned out that the emperor had made a plan long ago, but he kept it a secret from them, even from Shang Yan.
"I don't understand why the emperor wants my eldest sister to marry Lu Yanfu as his successor? Lu Yanfu is in Zhendong County, and his eldest son is very powerful now. He may inherit the position of King of Zhendong in the future."
"Zhendong County is short of silver and military rations. This year's supplies are short of more than one million taels of silver." Shang Yan said this lightly.
