Quick, I don't want to be in love anymore

Chapter 281: Love in the Sadistic Story (28)

"In May, shortly after the palace examination, it lasted for more than a year."

Shen Su stretched out five fingers. Now she no longer had to hide the truth like she did when she was a child, but could directly tell the time when the incident happened.

"Okay, you go in first. Dad will go to the palace to report now."

Zhou Chengyun in the palace was about to take a short break and go to the Queen's palace to have a meal together when he heard the report that the Prime Minister had arrived. Helplessly, he could only suppress his eager heart and sit down again.

After learning about this, he quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.

In the past seven years, the cultivation of potatoes and sweet potatoes has been promoted throughout the country, so there is no need to worry about food. We just need to notify all parts of the north in advance to store food and water. I believe we can survive this drought.

"If this time it turns out as your little daughter said, then she has accomplished another great feat."

Zhou Chengyun patted Shen Heng on the shoulder and became more and more satisfied with him. He himself was very capable. Now his two sons were one in literature and the other in martial arts, and even his youngest daughter should not be underestimated.

After Shen Heng left, he began to think seriously in his heart. If Shen Su could really predict the disaster that would happen to David in the future, then he must keep her in David in the future. The best way is to marry her back.

Thinking of this, he began to wonder if he had a son of similar age.

The eldest prince is now twenty-one years old. He already has a wife and a concubine, and two legitimate sons.

Although the second prince was not favored by the emperor because of Concubine De, he was already twenty years old this year. Two years ago, he was given a principal wife and a concubine, and now he has several children.

The Third Prince had been refusing his arranged marriage, claiming he already had someone he loved. He was seventeen this year, five years younger than the youngest daughter of the Shen family. No, no, thinking of this, he shook his head violently. Firstly, the Third Prince already had someone in his heart, and if he forced a marriage between the two, they would probably become a pair of resentful lovers.

The second reason is that the third prince's biological mother was just a slave. Although she was posthumously conferred the title of concubine, if the old man Shen Heng knew that she had betrothed his precious little daughter to him, he would definitely rush over and make a fuss.

Thinking of what he had done in the past in order to get him to arrange a marriage between him and Yan Qingman, Zhou Chengyun immediately gave up the idea.

The princes below the third prince were either of unsuitable age or incompetent. After much thought, he still couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

The palace examination officially kicked off in April. Before the examination began, the candidates would be arranged to enter the palace and attend a royal banquet hosted by the emperor.

This is an opportunity to showcase the candidates' image and etiquette, and it also helps to urge candidates to better cope with the tense atmosphere of the palace examination.

However, Shen Huaizhi did not feel nervous about this palace examination. After all, he had been to the palace many times since he was a child. Because of the relationship between his mother and the empress, he had seen the emperor many times.

Just like that, under the encouraging and expectant gazes of everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, the carriage slowly moved towards the palace until it was out of sight. Only then did Shen Heng call everyone back to the mansion.

Perhaps it was a common problem among elders, they tended to be more serious about various exams than their own children. Even Yan Qingman, who had never believed in Buddhism, dragged Shen Su to the small Buddhist temple.

Shen Su looked indifferent. She was full of confidence in her elder brother's success in the palace examination. She believed that he would definitely pass, it was just a matter of ranking.

However, she did not say anything. In order to reassure her mother, she also knelt obediently on the mat and prayed silently in her heart.
