Chapter 216 Disgusting
There was only one page of rice paper. The emperor glanced at it and immediately looked at Prince Ning.
"That kite shop belongs to your family?"
Prince Ning was stunned and immediately said: "Brother Huang is aware that I only have two shops in the capital."
"Really!" With a cold snort, the emperor threw the confession to Prince Ning.
The confession fluttered in the air and landed at the feet of Prince Ning.
Prince Ning picked it up suspiciously and was surprised when he saw it.
The confession clearly stated that the shopkeeper was ordered by Prince Ning's Prince to lie in ambush under the kite pavilion, waiting for Zhou Qing's arrival.
If the person has not arrived at the kite shop, try to lure them here.
At all costs, we must bring the person back to Kyoto safely.
"This, this is impossible!" Ning Wang Huo turned his head to look at Shen Li, "It must be your shadow that defeats him!"
Shen Li smiled and said, "I'll beat you into a move? The shopkeeper's daughter is working in your house. Do I need to beat her into a move? Just a threat is enough."
"you"
Prince Ning really didn't know that the prince actually bought a kite shop just to catch a woman, and even transferred his own servant to be the shopkeeper.
It would be a capital crime for Shen Li to lead people into Prince Ning's Mansion without permission.
Then his son knew that the woman was Shen Li's fiancée but still wanted to take her away by force. This provided a perfect excuse for Shen Li's death penalty, and even made Shen Li beat him up.
Thoughts flashed across his mind, Prince Ning looked at Shen Li coldly.
"Is that person named Zhou Qing really Master Shen's fiancée?
Could it be that Master Shen discovered that she looked very similar to Shen Mingyue, and knew that the king's son had feelings for Shen Mingyue, so he did it on purpose! "
"Deliberately? His Highness Prince Ning, please tell me, why did the lower official do it on purpose? Is there anything in Prince Ning's house that the Shadow Office needs to deliberately investigate?
Isn't it possible that Prince Ning's Mansion was also involved in Zhenshuo Army's reselling of military supplies?
Or is it that Prince Ning's Mansion colluded with Miao Jiang to plot something. "
"You are so slanderous!"
Prince Ning originally wanted to recruit Shen to join his army, but unexpectedly he got himself involved instead.
With a flick of his sleeves, he clasped his fists towards the emperor, "Brother, the emperor is aware that I will never believe that this civilian girl named Zhou Qing is the fiancée of the dignified Shadow Commander!
If she is really Shen Li's fiancée, I have nothing to say about this matter. It's because that evil son of Chen Li can't stand up to Lord Shen.
But if not, I ask the emperor to make the decision for me.
I don’t know how my Prince Ning’s Mansion offended Shadow and ended up in such a deliberate frame-up. "
Shen Li glanced at Prince Ning coldly.
"In order to save my fiancée, I broke into Prince Ning's Mansion without escaping the blame. I accept all punishments, but I hope that Your Majesty and Prince Ning will not favor the initiator of this incident.
Chen's fiancée was so frightened that she was still in a daze.
As for His Highness Prince Ning not believing that Zhou Qing is Xiaguan's fiancée, that's easy to handle. "
With that said, Shen Li lifted up his robe and knelt down.
"I ask for your majesty's decree to confer marriage."
Prince Ning looked at Shen Li in shock.
he.
He actually wants to marry a little girl with no power and no background as his official wife?
Could it be that he is crazy!
The emperor also frowned and looked at Shen Li, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what this kid was thinking.
He looked down upon the richest and most beautiful girl in Kyoto, and said in public that he was ugly.
Now you are asking for an imperial edict to marry a commoner girl?
The emperor speculated, fearing that Shen Li was acting out of anger just to silence Prince Ning's words.
"Marriage is no trivial matter. Even as the king of a country, I cannot grant marriage at will. This requires the consent of your parents and the consent of the other party's parents."
Shen Li looked sincere.
"Zhou Qing is the prospective daughter-in-law of the Guangping family. Everyone in the Guangping family knows this.
To be honest with your majesty, Chen’s grandmother specially brought the jade bracelet she had carried for several years to the Great Buddha Temple to be consecrated, so that the Buddha’s light would always shine and ensure peace, and she asked me to give the bracelet to Zhou Qing.
The reason why the marriage has been postponed is because Chen's father-in-law said that unless he passed the Jinshi examination, he would not marry his daughter to Chen.
I understand my father-in-law's feelings. He is afraid that a weak daughter from her mother's family will be wronged if she marries into the uncle's house.
Originally, I was willing to wait. When my father-in-law passed the exam and came to propose marriage, double happiness came to my door.
pity"
As Shen Li spoke, he turned to look at Prince Ning.
"I never expected that just because of the portrait of my fiancée and Shen Mingyue, I would cause such trouble.
I sincerely request your majesty to grant marriage by decree and inform the world.
Zhou Qing is Chen's first wife. "
King Ning's heart flashed.
Suddenly, he seemed to understand something!
Maybe, Shen Li has been waiting for an opportunity to get married by imperial decree.
After all, Zhou Qing is just an ordinary civilian girl. If she enters the Guangping uncle's house or enters the circle of ladies and ladies in Kyoto in the future, she will inevitably be looked down upon by others.
But marriage granted by imperial decree is different. Even if you are despised by others, you still have the capital to stand up straight.
this.
He had given Shen Li half a million taels of cash, and now he was giving him an opportunity to get married according to the imperial decree?
The corners of his eyes twitched, and Prince Ning's expression turned ugly for a moment.
The emperor looked at Prince Ning's reaction, and a seemingly dispensable smile flashed across his lips, "Are you really going to marry a commoner woman?"
"I hope your majesty will make it happen."
"Okay, I will give you an imperial edict."
After a pause, the emperor glanced at Prince Ning, then looked at Shen Li solemnly, "It's just that you led someone to break into Prince Ning's mansion without permission."
Prince Ning was afraid that Shen Li would insist on fairness, openness and justice, so he immediately said: "It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. It's all caused by the ignorant son-in-law of my younger brother, who has wronged Master Shen."
With that said, Ning Dynasty patted Shen Li on the shoulder.
"When Mr. Shen gets married in the future, I will definitely send you a congratulatory gift."
Shen Li was also polite, "I hope it's a generous gift."
King Ning
Patting Shen Li's hand, he suddenly froze.
ah?
The emperor looked at Prince Ning's expression and couldn't help but want to laugh.
This brat is talking, when did he become like this?
King Ning rushed into the palace to complain, but the complaint was unsuccessful. He even made wedding clothes for others and promised a generous gift.
I felt terribly sick, and after leaving the palace, I went home with a dark face.
Royal study room.
King Ning left, and Shen Li stayed behind on the pretext of discussing the imperial decree of marriage with the emperor.
The bright lights in the royal study illuminated the emperor's tired face. Shen Li pursed his lips and asked, "Your Majesty, has he not been in good health recently?"
The emperor raised his eyelids and glanced at him, and sighed, "The water transportation thing really makes me sleepless and I don't understand. It is obviously a good thing that benefits the country and the people, how can these morons stop this?" kind of situation.”
Feeling angry, the emperor clenched his fist and smashed the table several times.
"Over the years, the official road of the imperial court has always been a dry road, which has formed a complete chain of interests. If any link in this chain of interests is touched, it will cause turmoil in the entire chain.
What's more, we want to break this entire chain of interests.
It is normal for them to object fiercely.
The wages of avarice is death. "
The emperor took a deep breath and raised his hand, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Are you really going to marry that guy?"
"Zhou Qing."
The emperor frowned and looked at Shen Li, "Are you really going to marry a person with no status? You have to know that once you marry, you will be your legal wife. What will your legal wife mean in the future!"
Shen Li's eyes were full of determination, "I hope your majesty will fulfill my wish. I am sincere."
"Why? Looks like a fairy?"
Shen Li shook his head.
