Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me
Chapter 58 Family dinner and family dinner seem different
Shen Xiyue knew that although her parents were far away in the Western Frontier, they were not blind or deaf, and they must have known about what had happened to her in the capital.
Her father, Shen Jianshan, is a military commander who guards a frontier. He is also a tough guy with a soft heart and dotes on his wife. Now that his only daughter has suffered such a great injustice, how can he sit still and dote on her?
The first few pages of the letter were all written by Shen Xiyue's mother, Song Yingzhao. Song comforted Shen Xiyue and told her that it was a good decision to break off the relationship and that she didn't have to be afraid of the divorce because her parents were her support and she could live her life as usual in the future.
The small calligraphy written by her mother with flowers on it was as gentle as flowing water and warmed her heart.
But when I turned to the last page, that gentle feeling disappeared in an instant, leaving only a short sentence: Yue'er, Dad has already submitted a letter of recommendation and will return to Beijing to spend the New Year with you this year.
The brushstrokes are thick and powerful, and the force can be seen through the back of the paper.
Shen Xiyue could even see her father's temper and anger at the time.
The Western Frontier was filled with wind and sand, with hot weather during the day and cold nights. My father had stayed there for more than ten years, and even though he was not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict, he never complained.
Now she was forced to submit a petition and return to Beijing to seek justice for her.
Shen Xiyue's eyes were wet. After being reborn, the people she felt most guilty about were her parents. If she hadn't fallen in love with Qi Xun in her previous life, the Shen family wouldn't have ended up like that.
She remembered that in her previous life, when the Shen family was implicated in a conspiracy case, her parents were escorted to the capital. Her mother did not survive and died of illness on the way. When she finally saw her father, it was already time for his execution at the Meridian Gate.
The executioner's knife fell, and Daddy's head rolled to her feet.
Shen Xiyue sniffed. That was great. After some time, she would be able to see her parents again.
Wang wiped her tears distressedly and said, "Why are you crying, child? Your parents are coming back for the New Year. This is a good thing! I heard from your uncle that the memorial was submitted half a month ago, and our emperor also granted his approval."
Shen Xiyue smiled and said, "Aunt, I have to go back to the Princess's Mansion to prepare. When my parents come, I will let them see that Yue'er is surviving well in the capital, so that they can feel at ease."
Wang Shi saw that she had made up her mind, so she didn't know what to say. She sighed and said, "Okay, okay."
Shen Xiyue hurriedly assured: "I will come back to visit my uncle and aunt often!"
At dinner time, my uncle and cousin also came back.
After knowing Shen Xiyue's plan, he couldn't help but question her with concern, but in the end he couldn't persuade her, so he nodded in agreement.
Only Yang's face showed a slightly uncomfortable apologetic look, and the look she gave Shen Xiyue was occasionally filled with a hint of gratitude.
Shen Xiyue curled the corners of her lips. She knew how difficult it was for women in the inner house, so how could she care about her cousin's sister-in-law's little thoughts?
He just gave her a calm look in return and then lowered his eyes to eat.
Prime Minister Song picked up the bowl and immediately remembered something: "...Oh, Xiyue. Your cousin asked the Qi family for five thousand taels of silver for you, as well as the hot spring manor in the West Mountain, and a cosmetics shop, a medicine shop, and a spice shop in the south of the city."
Shen Xiyue was confused at first. Asking for money from the Qi family?
Then I remembered that when I was sticking bloodstains on my face that day, my uncle seemed to have said this... Is it really going to come out?
Shen Xiyue was shocked, then delighted: "Thank you, uncle!!!"
Prime Minister Song waved his hand and said, "Take the flowers."
Everyone sat together and the meal became more and more delicious.

in the palace.
Emperor You'an prepared a welcoming banquet for Murong Xuan in Funing Palace.
It was called a welcoming banquet, but it was just a family dinner for the princes, princesses, and several high-ranking concubines in the harem.
Emperor You'an has four princes and two princesses.
The eldest prince Murong Yao and the fourth prince Murong Duan were born to Concubine Qi.
Concubine Qi was born with unparalleled beauty. Not only did she have a childhood sweetheart relationship with the emperor, but she was also the woman with the highest rank in the harem. She sat beside the emperor, leaning against him, her eyes as charming as stars, as if she didn't take anyone seriously except the emperor.
The two princes she gave birth to were also exceptionally noble.
The eldest prince Murong Yao had a solemn and proud look on his face, and even the occasional flash of brutality in his eyes revealed his aura of having the power of life and death;
The Fourth Prince's facial features were more feminine, and he always had a half-smile on his face, making people feel he was unfathomable.
The two brothers glanced at Murong Xuan, then looked at each other. It was unclear whether they were planning something, but they seemed to be on good terms.
The second prince, Murong Rui, was born to Concubine Fang.
Concubine Fang was originally a foot-washing maid in Concubine Qi's palace. The emperor visited her after getting drunk, but forgot about her after he woke up and sent her to the cold palace.
Later, Concubine Fang became pregnant and gave birth to the second prince quietly in the cold palace. She was then given the title of Concubine because of her status as a mother with a son. However, the Emperor did not like her, and Concubine Qi hated her even more.
Concubine Fang was a person who could bend down. Although she was a concubine, she always behaved like a maid in front of Concubine Qi.
When the imperial concubine stood, she bent down; when the imperial concubine sat, she knelt at her feet; when the imperial concubine ate, she stood up and served the dishes before kneeling down again. In short, she did not have the slightest aura or airs of a master in front of others.
Besides, her appearance was just pretty, and she would never dress herself up carefully when the imperial concubine was around, and the emperor would not even look at her.
Perhaps Concubine Qi found pleasure in this humiliating act, so she kept Concubine Fang alive.
With such a mother, the second prince Murong Rui is usually very low-key and kind, and always looks submissive.
Whatever the eldest prince said was what it was, and whatever the fourth prince asked him to do was what he did. When he saw Murong Xuan, the legitimate son of the Empress, he felt that he was inferior to him and was about to kneel down and kowtow.
At this moment, he also lowered his head so that people could not see his expression clearly.
Of the two princesses, the third princess has already married, and the sixth princess Murong Jing, who looks only about fourteen or fifteen years old, is sitting next to her biological mother, Concubine Liang, with a steady and dignified look on her face.
Concubine Liang is the youngest niece of Empress Dowager Jiang. She is seven points similar to the late Empress Jiang and has an equally noble status. She is now more than six months pregnant and the imperial physician has already confirmed that she is pregnant with a prince.
She was holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, looking relaxed and as if waiting to watch the fun.
Murong Xuan glanced at the monsters in the room, then withdrew his gaze indifferently, lowered his eyes, and couldn't help but think of his mother.
Although Queen Qin was the emperor's successor, she was the rightful ruler of the imperial palace, but she was forced to leave the palace and could not return for many years.
Just as he was thinking, Emperor You'an's praiseful gaze fell on him: "Xuan'er, thank you for your hard work in this disaster relief mission!"
"Cough... cough..." Murong Xuan couldn't help but cough twice before saying, "It is my honor to be able to share the worries of my father."
The smile on Emperor You'an's face faded, and his tone was a little concerned: "Why do I see that you are still coughing all the time? Are you tired?"
Murong Xuan sighed.
He was indeed tired. The tiredness from his three-month trip to Jiangnan was not as much as the tiredness from sitting here for a quarter of an hour with a forced smile.
But he also said: "Thank you for your concern, father. Everything is fine."
The fourth prince Murong Duan looked at him with great concern and said, "Father, please see that the crown prince is so weak. Don't bother him with these errands in the future. Let him take good care of himself. Your sons and ministers can also share your worries."
As soon as the words fell, the Sixth Princess Murong Jing took over the conversation with concern:
"Yes, my brother, in previous years, several of my brothers went to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief and returned in just a month or so. You've been gone for more than three months before returning. Did you get sick again there?"
Murong Xuan lowered his eyes and smiled, saying nonchalantly, "Because your prince brother is afraid of trouble, the river banks in Jiangnan burst and flood every year, and disaster relief is needed every year, so your prince brother rebuilt all the river banks in Jiangnan."
Murong Jing said with an "oh" and praised: "The prince is really amazing!"
