Chapter 184: Betrothal Gifts (Part 2)

The different people in the room had different expression but Shen Miao’s reaction was on the contrary bland. She nodded her head and said to Tie Yi, “Many thanks.”

After Tie Yi left, everyone looked at each other. Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan had discovered some abnormalities. If Prince Rui’s goal was to incite disharmony between the Shen family and the Imperial family of Ming Qi or make the Shen family unusable by the Imperial family of Ming Qi, then when the Imperial decree was handed out, Prince Rui had already accomplished his motive.

Please pardon me for this chapter as my abilities to translate the description and names of the gifts itself is bad. Most the time I do not know what I am translating and how it looks like. At one point, I was scolding XJX for giving too much gifts. LOL

Chapter 184: Betrothal Gifts (Part 1)

These few days the Shen family was caught in a very strange mood. Because of Shen Miao’s bestowed marriage, everyone seemed to be clouded with anxiety. Even though everyone was trying to express joy, but one could not hide the bleakness of it at the end.

Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan would leave early and return home late daily, most likely they were searching of ways to get this marriage rescinded but they returned without success. Upon some thought it was as so, since Emperor Wen Hui had concealed from the entire court of officials to write this decree, most likely it was to sever Shen Xin’s intention of refusing. A Monarch’s words were not of a joking matter and words spoken were like water that was splashed. In the previous dynasty there was a Princess who fancied a Zhuang Yuan (top scorer in the Imperial examinations) but that Zhuang Yuan already had a wife but it was because of the phrase of ‘Monarch’s words were not of a joking matter’ that he divorced his wife and married another?

“Alright.” Shen Miao glared at her, “All the incoherent rambling. What exactly do you want?”

“Youngest Biao Sister, I just know that you are the smartest. No one in the Shen residence know me the best like you and even my Youngest Brother, Luo Qian, have a connected heart to me like you.” Luo Tan looked at Shen Miao with anticipation, “I just have a wish that when you go to Great Liang, you will bring me as your Older Biao Sister accompanying you to marriage.”

Chapter 183: Identity (Part 1)

When those words were spoken, a blanket of silence fell into the room.

Luo Xue Yan dared not look at Shen Miao’s eyes, Shen Xin’s voice had revealed exhaustion, Luo Ling was stunned, Lou Tan’s jaw dropped and it was Shen Qiu who slammed on the table and stood up, “What is this?”

Chapter 182: Bestowing Marriage (Part 1)

Prince Rui stood still and smiled, “Your Majesty better think it through. The Monarch of a country’s word is as heavy as nine tripods.”

“Ming Qi and Great Liang have good relations and naturally Zhen would assist in a virtuous purpose.” Emperor Wen Hui was smiling uglier than crying as he said, “If the Young Lady of the Shen family marries to Prince Rui, it is the good fortune of the Young Lady of the Shen family and Zhen is happy to see through it. Don’t worry, Zhen will write the decree today and announce it in a few days’ time in court.” After pausing, he then spit out difficultly, “The matter of the border cities…”

Consort Xu Xian smiled prettily and asked, “Why is Older Sister not entering? Could it be that one had done something wrong and is currently kneeling and asking His Majesty for forgiveness? Why not this Younger Sister go in and intercede for Older Sister?”

The Empress gritted her teeth, “No need.”

Chapter 181: Convicting The Crime (Part 2)

The food was very fresh and there were even meat mixed in it. Shen Dong Ling was somewhat happy as the prison food that they ate these days were all smashed else they were difficult to be eaten, thus she was somewhat surprise when she saw such a sumptuous meal and asked, “Older Brother, is this for us?”

That jailer glance at her and smiled strangely, “Yes. It is for you all.”

Chapter 181: Convicting The Crime (Part 1)

The pattern around the safety pendant was very special and one could recognize it from a glance. Luo Ling’s expression thus became very ugly and he asked, “One dare to ask Your Highness Prince Rui… Where does the safety pendant on one’s waist came from?”

Shen Qiu looked at Luo Ling strangely. Luo Ling was one who knew his boundaries and would be very calm outside however he rashly asked Prince Rui and this was simply to abrupt. Prince Rui was in a good mood and came over to greet and it was one’s honour. One had to see if Prince Rui was willing to answer when one asked Prince Rui a question.
