Chapter 31: Marriage
Chapter 31 Marriage
The Miss Shen mentioned by Empress Dowager Lu is obviously not Shen Li. As for why Si Yan dragged her into the water, Shen Li didn't have time to think.
However, as long as Shen Li has brains, she will not refute Si Yan's words in this hall.
Shen Li stood up, saluted respectfully, and answered dryly.
"yes."
She didn't say much, and others only thought she was shy.
Zou Yuan has no impression of Shen Li at all, and he has never heard that Si Yan knew her.
But no matter what, the marriage decree has been made.
"General Si has been stationed at the border for many years, and it's time to start a family. Since you two are in love, I will decide to marry you today."
When the Empress Dowager Lu heard that this was completely beyond her expectations, her eyes were a little flustered, and she said hastily.
"Marriage is a major issue, and it needs to be discussed in the long run, or..."
Zou Yuan raised his hand and pressed on the Empress Dowager Lu's arm, with a calm expression.
"Didn't the empress also say just now that General Si is not young anymore, and the two love each other, and the beauty of adulthood should be sooner rather than later!"
Empress Dowager Lu turned blue when she heard Zou Yuan blocking her with what she had just said.
Zou Yuan hit the iron while the iron was hot, and the **** sent the pen, ink, paper and inkstone directly. With a swipe of the pen, he directly issued the imperial decree at the scene of the flower viewing banquet.
"By God's blessing, the emperor said, I heard that Uncle Anding's daughter, Shen Li, is skillful and generous, with outstanding appearance. General Wei Si Yan has made great achievements in protecting the country and calming chaos. She is at an early age for marriage. The two fall in love with each other.
In order to become a beautiful woman, Shen Li was specially betrothed to Si Yan as his wife, and they chose a good day to get married.
I like this. "
After the edict was read out, Zou Yuan said.
"It is inconvenient for General Si to accept the order, so Miss Shen will thank you on your behalf."
Shen Li knew that it was time for her to appear on the stage. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Zhong Ning who looked terrified and didn't know what happened, and her heart was in a mess.
Under the eyes of everyone, she walked forward without hesitation, her mood seemed heavier than that of going to the guillotine.
Shen Li stepped forward to receive the order, and when she turned her head, Si Yan had already walked to the center of the hall, and she knelt beside Si Yan, thanking him together.
"Thank you Lord Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
…
Shen Li didn't even know how she got back to her seat.
As soon as she sat down, Zhong Ning grabbed the hem of her clothes. Zhong Ning leaned in front of her, tried to keep his face as calm as possible, and spoke to her in a very low voice.
"Li'er, do you know that person, why did you suddenly marry him?"
Zhong Ning's hands were trembling, she had no idea what kind of relationship Shen Li had with that General Si, she had never even seen Si Yan's face.
Where did the two love each other come from!
Shen Li put her palm on the table weakly and replied.
"It's a long story, I'll tell you about it when I get back."
Zhong Ning also knew that the current occasion was not suitable for talking, so he only restrained his expression and didn't ask any more questions.
Above the main hall, the singing and dancing continued, toasting to drink, suddenly, Shen Li even felt that the marriage just now was an illusion.
People around would cast inquiring gazes from time to time, the meaning was obvious, and they were probably wondering how these two people got together.
Shen Li's plan to become invisible has failed, and it is estimated that tomorrow, the news that she and Si Yan are getting married will spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
…
During the second half of the flower viewing feast, Shen Li was absent-minded.
Until the banquet was over, Shen Li saw Si Yan going out, she drank the fruit wine in her hand, and turned her head to tell Zhong Ning.
"Mother, wait for me outside the palace gate, I will find you later."
After finishing speaking, Shen Li ignored Zhong Ning's reaction and chased after him.
