Looking at the peerless face in the mirror, Shen Qianfeng couldn't help but let out a sigh. There are so many ups and downs on the road of life, and no matter how many hardships and hardships they are, they have already passed. Although I don't know how difficult the road ahead will be, but there are She was content to have someone she remembered walking with her all the way.

The happiest thing here is Tuan Tuan, who has been bored in her room since she came back from Rongcheng County. Her room was equipped with a super powerful formation, even if Situ Huixin wanted to go in and have a look, it was in vain. And return.

There was nothing important to discuss in the court today, so the emperor talked about the wedding of the third prince. In two days, it will be the day for Princess Qianfeng and her hairpin. Previously, the emperor planned to let Concubine Min be his bride. The daughter-in-law has completed the hairpin ceremony. But now the principal’s mother has come back regularly, and the son’s mother’s own wife has also come back. This hairpin ceremony has become embarrassing for who should be given to the princess. .

Nominally, she, Shen Qianfeng, is a princess with a different surname in the empire. As the mother of a country, the Queen is of course also the mother of Her Highness the Princess. There is no problem at all with the Queen as Princess Qianfeng and her hairpin, but as a model of etiquette, Xun, the Minister of Staff, Nanjiang simply stopped working.

He told an allusion about the teachings of the sages and started a debate with the emperor in person. The two were at loggerheads for a while, and all the ministers were stunned. In the end, Jiang Qi couldn't stand it anymore and sent someone to Fengqi. The palace invited his own mother to be the queen. Finally, the emperor listened to the queen and handed over the rights to Princess Qianfeng and Ji to Situ Lan.

The Imperial City has four seasons all year round, except for the abnormal cold in winter. The other three seasons are as warm as spring. Now Shen Qianfeng is relaxed. She is holding a small hoe in the garden, cultivating and watering some rare flowers and plants. , I was very busy pruning the extra branches and vines.

A little girl ran in in a hurry, shouting as she ran: "It's not good, it's not good."

Shen Qianfeng put down the scissors in her hand and looked over. She knew this little girl. She was Ling'er, the little girl who reported in the front hall. Normally, Ling'er was a person who never panicked when big things happened. But now This model made Shen Qianfeng's heart skip a beat.

Because Ling'er was too panicked, she accidentally fell down on the bluestone road. Seeing that she was not far away from her master, she knelt on the ground and hurriedly replied: "Master, something big has happened. General Shen is being sent to Yunnan." On the way to the state, I encountered a robber and was killed."

"Robbers are robbing!" Shen Qianfeng's vision went dark, and her throat felt bitter and she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Although the father in this world tried every possible means to kill herself and her mother, she must still be his bloodline, Shen Xiongfei. So. He didn't do it himself and let his father in this body live. He could let him live in pain and repay the suffering that his mother and himself had endured for so many years.

"Master, master, are you okay?"

When Shen Qianfeng came to her senses, Ling'er had already walked up the stone steps next to her. Pushing Ling'er away, her business was a little trembling: "Bandit, I would like to ask what kind of mountain it is." Thieves can take the life of General Zhenguo." This is not Shen Qianfeng's conspiracy theory, but the time of Shen Xiongfei's murder was too obvious.

Is this purely to delay her marriage to Brother Qi, or is it just for revenge. If it is revenge, who is the murderer? It is useless to think too much, although she does not mind marrying Brother Qi under the infamy. But Princess Qianfeng and Her status as a human saint really made her have to take an examination of the wedding date.

When Situ Lan saw her daughter, she quickly understood that her daughter already knew what she knew. The wedding of the third prince and the saint of the Situ family had been announced to the world, and now something unexpected happened and she had to take her daughter into the palace and marry her. The emperor went to discuss a solution.

At the south gate of the Imperial City, five luxurious carriages slowly approached from a distance. The soldier guarding the gate saw the sign on the leading carriage, frowned, and turned to ask his companions.

"Brother Li, is this convoy the Shen family's convoy that used to belong to the Zhenguo General's Mansion? They don't seem to have the right to enter the Imperial City anymore, right?"

The soldier squad leader who was called Brother Li glanced at his companions with baptismal eyes and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the emperor just took Shen Xiongfei's official position. He didn't give orders to the Shen family, what are you talking about? Is there something wrong with your head? Don’t forget that Princess Qianfeng is also a member of the Shen family."

The carriage came to the gate of the city, and a man in his early years got out of the carriage in front. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and it looked like he was a young man from a wealthy family. The young man trotted hurriedly with two silver ingots in his hands. When he saw him, The two inspection soldiers were simply thrown into their hands.

"Both officers, here are the elders of the family. You are old, so you don't need to get out of the car to check the car." The young man said it nicely, and the two soldiers smiled and accepted the money. Brother Li said: "Okay, you guys can get in the car and take a look. Take out your identity documents and get checked."

The young man handed his identity document into the soldier's hand, and then heard the soldier call out a name.

"Shen Mo!" After handing the identity document to the soldier next to him to take to the throne, the other companions inspected the car and let him in without finding any problems.

Two Gray Runners lined up not far behind were calling their ears, one said to the other: "Master, do you think the murderer is Shen Qianfeng?"

The other one shook his head: "No, Hong Ling, please remember. Even though Shen Xiongfei is a heinous sinner, Shen Qianfeng will not kill him by herself. If she does, she will lose the support of the people. A human saint who has lost the support of the people will still have What's the use? Besides, this news came to the Imperial City during this Minggan period." The man shut his mouth and shook his head: "It seems that someone wants to use this matter to delay the long-destined wedding."

Hong Ling snorted: "Is it someone from the Lu family? The Lu Yan they sent has long since disappeared. Do they dare to send someone here again?"

Xiao Lang is full of sex. He came back this time to see that crazy woman. What exactly are he looking for in Jiang Qi? No matter what he is looking for, he is destined to fail because he will not let that crazy woman To disturb the next events of the human saint.

Fengqi Palace, above the main hall. The queen looked at the concubines below with cold eyes, and waved her hands to let everyone get up and talk. Everyone knew that the queen loved Princess Qianfeng these days, and now Shen Xiongfei suddenly His death forced the royal family to be caught off guard, so today's morning and evening gatherings became a debate.

The first person to stand up and speak was Concubine Min. According to Concubine Min, the emperor received the news late last night and didn't sleep a wink all night. In the morning, the lord of Hanmo City wrote a letter, preparing to send a daughter to the Three Princes' Mansion to be a concubine.

The emperor directly issued an imperial edict, and Concubine Min was not sure what the edict was.

It was just that the Emperor was in a happy mood after writing the imperial edict, which made Concubine Min really confused. Very few people in the Lu family knew what was going on, and even Concubine Min was kept in the dark.

"Did the emperor agree or not?" The queen was ready to fight with the Lu family from the moment she woke up. So she felt very irritable when she heard the news.

"No, the emperor directly rejected the Lu family's kindness and even threatened him." Concubine Min's words just meant to give everyone peace of mind.

The queen smiled and said, "Sister, please take a seat. Speaking of which, Princess Qianfeng is also a member of your Situ family. My son's marriage is on the royal side, so I would like to consider letting you take full responsibility."

Among the several concubines who were doing this, no one dared to make a sound of objection after Concubine Li made a light snort.

Concubine Liang quietly came to Concubine Min and said, "Sister, sister, if you need anything, just ask. If Her Highness hadn't taken action against the plague last time, the fifth prince would have died long ago."

Concubine Li looked at the group of people who were following the trend. When she saw the queen coming back, the trend suddenly changed. The sisters who had been attached to her in the past became alienated. She quietly came to Concubine Han and whispered: "Concubine Han.

, are you really not afraid that if this continues, will your son, His Royal Highness, be unable to keep his position?"

Concubine Han indeed replied with an indifferent expression: "If my son's position as crown prince cannot be kept, I will definitely ask you for an explanation. Don't sow discord in front of me. The second prince has been ruining the prince's reputation outside for so many years.

I just don’t want to pursue the matter. If you make me anxious, be careful and I will ask the emperor to drive you mother and son out of the imperial capital city in a minute."

Several colleagues who were chatting with the concubines and the ministers above the main palace had also learned that Shen Xiongfei was assassinated on the way to the southern border. Jiang Qi didn't understand why everyone knew about such a secret.

Well, it seems that someone wants to stop his wedding and make the empire's promise become a piece of paper, but now how to break the situation.

The emperor also had a headache. He scanned the people on the ground and asked: "What should we do now? Whether it is three years of mourning or three months of mourning, the empire will definitely break its promise this time. We must make this happen this time."

The loss has been reduced to a minimum. Xun Nanjiang, what do you think?"

In dealing with Shen Xiongfei before, Princess Qianfeng has been giving him a lot of help behind the scenes. If there is no support from the other party, or the other party blocks you in front of you, it will be as difficult as climbing to the sky to move Shen Xiongfei, but

Now that Shen Xiongfei is dead, he is happy from the bottom of his heart, but he is the emperor's subject after all. It is better to share the emperor's worries in this regard.

So he nodded and walked out of the crowd, came to the main hall on the same line as the emperor, and supported himself: "Of course you cannot violate the emperor's imperial edict, but you cannot let a saint in the world bear the reputation of being unfilial. Three years of filial piety is a sure thing.

No, it will take at least three months. If we can’t prepare for the third prince’s wedding, this is the minimum limit.”

The emperor is thinking about the possibility of this matter. If this matter is really postponed for three months, it is not impossible. Is the empire able to bear the consequences?

While the emperor was thinking about whether he could agree to this plan, Jiang Qishi, who was standing in the court without saying a word, said: "Father, I think what Mr. Xun said is absolutely correct. With the strength of our current empire, , who dares to say that we have gone back on our word. Everything must still be based on protecting Feng'er's reputation."

The emperor was about to issue an order when he heard the eunuch outside hurriedly barging in. He knelt down in the main hall and said loudly: "Your Majesty ordered the eldest elder of the Shen family, the second elder and Mrs. Shen to seek an audience outside."

There is an unwritten rule in the Qingyuan Empire, that is, the chief elder of each family will have one or two opportunities to meet the emperor every year. The law gives them this opportunity mainly to participate in or formulate their views on some of the following rules. . Only by broadening public opinion can we better govern this empire.

Now the two elders of the Shen family appeared at the same time, and it happened to be at this time. They must have come for Shen Xiongfei's death.

Jiang Qi also didn't want these two old guys to appear, for fear that the good ones would not come and the coming ones would be unkind. Before he could speak, the emperor issued an order: "Invite them to the palace!"

The three of them walked up to the main hall, knelt down, and shouted long live. The latest person to speak first was not the two elders, but the old lady who represented the highest seniority in the Shen family.

Of course, the emperor would not criticize the Shen family because of what happened to Shen Xiongfei. His most promising daughter-in-law must have the blood of the Shen family flowing on her body. He waved his hand and said, "Get back on your feet!"

After the three people stood up, they heard the emperor ask: "I don't know why the two elders and Mrs. Shen came to the Jinluan Hall?"

The old lady glanced at the great elder, but she saw the great elder said cautiously: "The purpose of our coming this time is because of Shen Xiongfei's death. It is a major event that has affected the entire world. Although Shen Qianfeng is my Shen family, The direct bloodline of the clan is also responsible for the rise and fall of the Shen family. From this point of view, the death of Shen Xiongfei's unworthy descendant should not affect the justice of the world."

Jiang Qi said that his union with Xiao Feng'er was the righteousness of the world. Jiang Qi curled his lips disdainfully and asked you to finish your good words. How do you want other people to live?

But what the eldest elder of the Shen family said really made Jiang Qi look at him with admiration. He heard the eldest elder say this: "So, we weighed the pros and cons and decided to let Shen Qianfeng take over the position of the head of the Shen family. In this way, Shen Qianfeng can only All she needs to do is support her father's spirit and observe mourning for a month."

"One month!" The emperor was also shocked and asked hurriedly: "Is this okay?"

The old lady nodded: "Such things have happened to our Shen family in history. The family rules are recorded. Second Elder, would you like to submit the family rules to His Majesty the Emperor for a look?"

At this time, everyone discovered that the second elder turned out to be a handsome young man, almost the same age as Jiang Qi. Jiang Qi rubbed his eyes vigorously, and suddenly called out a person's name: "Shen Mo, why is it you? ?”
