Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me
Chapter 105 Oh, my mother-in-law looks down on him
There were many people welcoming us along the way, and the carriage moved slowly until it finally arrived at Princess Huayang's Mansion.
Originally, the Shen family had an old house in the capital, but Lord Shen and Madam Shen both wanted to live with their daughter, so they naturally forgot about the old house.
The group stopped at the gate of the Princess's Mansion.
Lord Shen just wanted to go into the mansion and have some heart-to-heart talks with his wife, daughter and family behind closed doors, but the Crown Prince brought the ceremonial guard from the Ministry of Rites with him, so he had to get rid of them first.
So he said to Murong Xuan in a tactful way, "Your Highness is really tired today. It's freezing cold. Please go back home early. I will come to thank you another day."
For a rough guy like him, it's quite respectable that he can say such words as to chase someone away!
But Murong Xuan just couldn't understand, and he really wanted to give Lord Shen a tip in advance.
He had a kind face, and his phoenix eyes were filled with a hint of respect: "Lord Shen, there is no need to be polite. I have grown up hearing about the reputation of the Shen family army for their bravery. Today, I finally get to meet Lord Shen again, so naturally I have to offer you two glasses of wine."
As a cunning prince, he said in a serious manner, "I won't leave even if you chase me away. I will stay and have a free meal." He had to say a few kind words to Lord Shen.
Lord Shen: "......"
Shen Xiyue was sitting in the carriage. When she heard Murong Xuan talking, she couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead. How could he be so shameless!
After all, Mrs. Shen is the most meticulous.
She looked at her daughter's face, which was full of reluctance and shyness, and then lifted the carriage curtain to look at the prince who was refusing to leave like a peacock with its tail spread out. Suddenly, she realized something... Hmm...
Madam Shen rolled her eyes and looked at the prince seriously for a few times. She saw that he was in high spirits. Although he was thin, he was full of energy. As a descendant of a royal family, he was naturally a dragon with a handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing, and he was uniquely noble.
He wasn't like this when I saw him before.
At that time, he was only thirteen or fourteen years old and was sent all the way to Western Xinjiang by Duke Qin. Because of his introverted personality, he was ostracized in the military camp of the Shen family army. It was because Xiyue accidentally stood up for him that he was able to stay in the military camp for five years.
If you must say it, these two can be said to have some childhood sweetheart affection.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Shen felt heartbroken again.
When the prince left the Shen family military camp, he privately told Xiyue his identity and left his personal jade pendant to Xiyue, saying it was a token of love and that he would marry her in the future.
Xiyue was only a young girl at that time, and she was ignorant about love and didn't take it to heart. Madam Shen and the Marquis didn't want their daughter to marry into a noble family, so they asked someone to return the jade pendant to Duke Qin.
Who would have thought that after receiving the jade pendant, Duke Qin, under the pretext of being afraid that the child could not keep the secret, personally delivered a pill to Xiyue, and even begged the marquis on his knees to feed it to her.
He repeatedly assured that this medicine would only erase memories and would not cause any harm to the body. The rough man Shen Jianshan thought that this was really a move to protect the Empress's son, so he agreed to feed Xiyue the medicine.
But Madam Shen saw it clearly... Duke Qin was doing this for the prince on the surface, but in fact he had his own selfish motives and wanted the prince to marry a girl from the Qin family, so he cut off this budding romance so early on.
Fortunately, the medicine really worked as Duke Qin said. It only made Xiyue forget the past events and had no other effect.
But over the years, Mrs. Shen has been somewhat resentful of the Qin family's past actions.
Her Xiyue is innocent and simple in nature, so it is better for her not to provoke a "hot commodity" like the prince.
Madam Shen made up her mind, her eyes became clear and calm, she looked at the prince and said apologetically:
"Please forgive me, Your Highness. The Marquis and I have been traveling so hard today that we are not very energetic. I will prepare a feast for you another day and invite Your Highness to come to my house for a chat. I would like to express my special thanks to Your Highness."
Her words were much more straightforward. "I'm tired. Our whole family is tired. We can't accompany you. Please go back."
Lord Shen was stunned. How could his wife, who was always gentle and respectable, speak to the prince like this?
Shen Xiyue also stared at her mother blankly. Her mother's words were too rude. Just as she was about to say something, Mrs. Shen lowered the curtain, reached out and pulled her, warning her with her eyes not to speak.
Shen Xiyue: "......"
Murong Xuan could no longer pretend that he didn't understand.
But his expression remained unchanged, still gentle and respectful, without any sense of frustration: "Madam is right, I was not thoughtful enough, please don't blame me, Madam and Marquis. Madam and Marquis, take a good rest, I will come to the Princess's Mansion for a banquet another day."
After saying this, he turned his horse around very naturally and left towards the main road he came from.
The Ministry of Rites' ceremonial guard also followed Murong Xuan and left.
Shen Jianshan had an inexplicable feeling for a moment, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. But when he saw Mrs. Shen get off the carriage, he stopped thinking about it and followed his wife and daughter inside.
Madam Shen also stepped into the Princess's Mansion as if nothing had happened, admiring it while sighing:
"My dear Xiyue has really grown up. She can tidy up the yard so well by herself. Look at the plum blossoms blooming, they are so beautiful..."
Shen Xiyue really wanted to say, Mother, the prince asked people to plant it.
But after hesitating for a while, he asked a more direct question: "Mother, why were you so rude to His Highness just now?"
Madam Shen couldn't tell them directly about the twists and turns of the past, so she lied calmly, "Xiyue, now that mom and dad have arrived in the capital, we have to be more cautious in everything. We military generals have military power, so we can't get too close to the prince, don't you think?"
Shen Jianshan, who was following the mother and daughter, heard this and suddenly realized that this was the case! No wonder the prince was not invited in!
He quickly agreed: "Madam is really thoughtful."
"Mother..."
Shen Xiyue wanted to say that he was the crown prince appointed by the emperor himself, and it was normal for a minister to respect the crown prince... Besides, it was the emperor who ordered the crown prince to go to the city gate to welcome him today, and it would be disrespectful to drive him away...
Mrs. Shen saw what her daughter was thinking at a glance. She blinked, her expression gentle, and said seriously:
"Our Shen family has guarded the Western Frontier for generations, and we cannot return to the capital without an imperial decree. This year, your father requested to come back to celebrate the New Year, which is already a favor from heaven. Today, the crown prince came to greet him. I'm afraid those civil servants in the capital are trying their best to report your father. Mother deliberately disrespected the crown prince and asked him to leave early. It was just a harmless mistake, which just let people know that our military family is not cunning."
Shen Xiyue: "......"
Why do I always feel that my mother is making excuses?
But on second thought, A'niang's eloquence is a tradition inherited from the Song family. She can argue even if something is unreasonable. It is better not to argue with A'niang as soon as we meet.
As for Murong Xuan wanting to tell his father that he wants to marry her... well, just wait and see what he has in mind.
Then he forced a smile and agreed, "Mother is right."
"Okay, let's stop talking about these boring things! Xiyue, Dad has brought several lambs. Go and ask the kitchen to light a fire and stew them." Lord Shen was even happier when he saw that his wife and daughter had reached an agreement:
“Try it and see if it’s the flavor you miss the most.”
"Ok!"
......
The family of three happily reunited in the Princess's Mansion. In the Crown Prince's Mansion, Murong Xuan frowned.
Ran Luoguo was eating the roasted lamb leg sent from the Princess's Mansion, listening to Murong Xuan sighing from time to time. He was too lazy to pay attention to him. This prince was a smart man, and a smart person would not be easily trapped.
But after he finished a whole leg of lamb and drank two bowls of milk tea, he saw that Murong Xuan still had a confused look on his face, so he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows:
"Your Highness dressed up nicely today to go meet the little girl's father, why did you come back like this? Didn't your father-in-law like you?"
Murong Xuan sighed again: "Lord Shen is cheerful, but Madam Shen is very distant to me for some reason. When I was in the Shen family military camp, Madam Shen was very concerned about me. I wonder if it is because of the passage of time..."
Ran Luoguo poured himself another bowl of milk tea, looked at Murong Xuan and sighed, "You are still young! You get confused when it comes to such romantic matters!"
He drank a sip of milk tea cheerfully, looked at Murong Xuan and said, "Your Highness has everything ready now, even the Imperial Observatory has been bribed. Why are you scared when you are about to go into battle? If you are scared, don't marry her!"
"Of course I will marry her."
Murong Xuan frowned. What was he talking about? He was a little unsure, but that was also because he was worried that Madam Shen would not marry Xiyue to him.
He never thought of backing down.
Ran Luoguo raised his eyebrows, raised his chin with a smile, and twirled his few rare whiskers: "Your Highness, then you are the one who is in charge and confused."
Murong Xuan looked at Ran Luoguo and asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
Ran Luoguo narrowed his eyes:
"Every noble family in the capital wants to keep their family's wealth and splendor."
"Your Highness is now sitting on the throne of the Crown Prince. According to the rules of the Dashun Imperial Family, the Jiang and Qin families will be the first to regard you as a good son-in-law. I'm afraid they have already secretly decided which girl to marry you!"
"If you marry Xiyue, the Jiang and Qin families won't dare to say anything to you. I'm afraid they will hate her behind her back. Your Highness, don't think that just because the Qin family is your in-laws, you won't..."
"Mrs. Shen grew up in the capital, so how could she not know how muddy the waters are in the capital? And Prince Yao is at odds with you...
Xiyue girl has already suffered once, and Mrs. Shen would never let her sweetheart suffer again!
She looked down on His Highness. Firstly, she was worried that His Highness would ask Xiyue to be his concubine. Secondly, she was worried that His Highness would not be able to maintain his position as the Crown Prince!"
Ran Luoguo was extremely impolite when he said these words, perhaps because he had eaten the roasted lamb leg sent by the Princess's Mansion. Even though he was the Prince's aide, his heart could not help but lean towards Shen Xiyue, and he put all the hidden dangers on the table.
After hearing this, Murong Xuan felt even more relieved.
He only felt that all the problems that could be put on the table could be dealt with. Knowing Mrs. Shen's concerns, he was more confident about what he was going to do next.
Ran Luoguo looked at Murong Xuan's expression, smiled with satisfaction, and narrowed his eyes: "Your Highness, His Highness King Yao will be back in two days. This time, we must defeat him with one strike. Let Madam Shen have a good look!"
