Remarry 9,000 Years Old

As soon as these words were spoken, before others reacted, King Cheng's face showed genuine joy.

Anyone could tell that Princess Cheng acted like the head of the family, which was what he had always wanted.

So Prince Cheng immediately straightened his back, displayed his dignity as a prince, and supported his own princess.

"The Yanyun Guards are at your service at any time." The implicit threat was self-evident.

Shen Mingde, who had remained silent, raised his head slightly when he heard the words, but his gaze did not stay on Princess Cheng for too long. He looked a little dazed, like an old monk in meditation.

The Ninth Princess was completely humiliated and lost all face, so naturally she didn't dare to say anything more.

Shen Jingyi was even more cautious, wishing she could disappear on the spot for fear of being implicated.

But Shen Nanqiao didn't even look at her.

The Queen Mother also felt that today's events were boring, so she struck up a conversation and said a few polite words before asking everyone to disperse.

As soon as I reached the gate of Cining Palace, I heard the excited Prince Cheng inviting us to a banquet.

The Ninth Princess and Shen Jingyi were left behind.

After everyone had dispersed, the Cining Palace fell silent for a moment. The empress dowager was as gloomy as water and sent all the servants away.

Shen Jingyi felt that her lower abdomen was a little bloated after standing for half a day, but she dared not make a sound and had to endure it. At this moment, she began to regret why she got involved in this mess.

The Ninth Princess can just pat her butt and go back to her fiefdom, but he still has to face Shen Nanqiao for a long time.

The Queen Mother naturally had no time to care about what others were thinking. At this moment, she was playing with the white jade ornament in her hand with an extremely ugly expression.

What happened today was really unexpected, because I didn't expect the emperor's test to come so soon.

He just punished the Ninth Princess in front of everyone, which was nothing more than killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. It seems that it is only a matter of time before the showdown and the fall out.

She hesitated for a moment, looked up at the Ninth Princess who looked exhausted, and spoke unexpectedly.

"How many soldiers does Lao Jiu have now?"

Shen Jingyi, who was feeling anxious at the side, shuddered subconsciously when she heard this.

The Ninth Princess didn't seem surprised at all.

"Less than 50,000, but they are all elite cavalry. But if we add the Tartar cavalry, there will be more than 100,000."

Shen Jingyi's heart was in turmoil. Even if she was slow-witted, she had learned history after all. This was obviously a conspiracy between internal and external forces to rebel.

The Queen Mother's eyes fell on Shen Jingyi and she gave a meaningful smile.

"Do you want to be the Crown Prince's wife?"

Before she could react, her body had already reacted and she fell to her knees on the ground.

"I am willing to serve the Queen Mother with my whole heart and soul."

The Queen Mother's long armor slid across the table, leaving shallow scratches.

"Go back and inform Marquis Pingyuan. The old Marquis of the Ning family has close relationships with many veteran generals. If you tell him, he will naturally know what to do."

Shen Jingyi pinched her knuckles with her fingers in her sleeves and replied "yes", but her heart sank.

After Shen Nanqiao and his companions left the Cining Palace, Prince Cheng stopped first. He held Princess Cheng's hand and looked at Shen Nanqiao with a look that contained thousands of words.

There were many people in the palace, so Shen Nanqiao didn't dare to be negligent. Just as he was about to say a few polite words, he saw Shen Mingde with a sullen face walking up to Prince Cheng and his wife and bowing.

"Congratulations to His Majesty on your wedding. The Ministry of Rites will select a few auspicious dates and send them to your residence for His Majesty to hold a banquet and hold the ceremony."

After saying this, he didn't wait for King Cheng to answer, but turned around and left without looking around.

This was beyond Shen Nanqiao's expectations. Today, Shen Mingde seemed like a completely different person. She had been worried before, fearing that he would expose his mother's true identity in the Cining Palace.

Although he was full of doubts, he couldn't ask in front of so many people, so he could only bow to Princess Cheng.

"Congratulations, my Lord and Princess. I will present the gift to you another day."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two sides parted ways. Shen Nanqiao and Ning Su got on the same carriage, but before she sat down, she heard the other party ask her.

"Are we going to Prince Cheng's Mansion now?"

Shen Nanqiao lifted a corner of the curtain and shook his head slightly.

"There must be someone following me now, so it's better not to let anyone gossip about me." She sighed with concern, "Although the matter was resolved today, the reason is really far-fetched. I'm afraid the emperor may have doubts in his heart. Moreover, Princess Cheng and I are 80% similar. If someone with ulterior motives sees me, I don't know what kind of gossip will come out."

Ning Su reached out to help her lower the curtain.

"That's fine. As the saying goes, trying to hide something only makes it more obvious. So, just acknowledge your relationship and get along openly with each other."

Shen Nanqiao looked back in surprise.

"Recognize my mother? How is that possible? Shen Mingde just denied my mother's identity in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor..."

Ning Su laughed when he heard this. He originally thought that this girl was steady enough, but he didn't expect that she would also be confused due to concern.

"Of course not." He unconsciously stroked the ring on his finger, "You two look very similar, and she is your nominal aunt, so why not just recognize her as your godparents, and it will be legitimate for you to visit each other in the future."

Shen Nanqiao had never thought of this possibility and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

She really had never thought carefully about the difference between her biological mother and godmother.

Ning Su explained to her patiently.

"As you said, the Emperor will most likely not completely trust Princess Cheng's identity. He is a very suspicious person, so it is better for him to move around openly."

"Then can't you just recognize your aunt again? Why do you need to recognize a godparent?" Shen Nanqiao was puzzled.

Ning Su stared at the stunning face so close to him and moved back without making a sound.

"Because only in this way can you legitimately call her mother."

Shen Nanqiao was struck by lightning.

Ning Su's face was calm and no emotion could be seen, but those words pierced her heart.

He has never had a mother and doesn't know what it feels like to be loved. Since he has never lost anything, there is no gap.

Fentuanzi was different from him. Since she could remember, she had enjoyed her mother's love and care for several years. Naturally, she felt resentful about the sudden loss of it.

Now that she was finally found again, he could sense that she really wanted to call Mrs. Shen "mother" again.

The carriage passed through the streets in silence and soon stopped at the main gate of Prince Cheng's Mansion. Shen Nanqiao didn't dare to get off for a moment.

"Go in. With such a big incident today, it would be unreasonable for you to return home with a clear conscience." Ning Su had accompanied Emperor Ming for many years and knew his character well. "The Emperor must have sent someone to follow us. It would be better to let him feel at ease."

Shen Nanqiao was shocked to realize that Emperor Ming had been on guard against him for a long time.

"Those people are..."

"The palace's secret guards." Ning Su reached out to help her get off the carriage, lowering his voice very low, "Not all the factory guards are my people."

"Then your situation is very dangerous!" Shen Nanqiao widened his eyes in surprise, but Ning Su took him in his arms.

"Don't make a fuss, it's just a check and balance." He hugged her tightly and chuckled complacently, "You don't think he will let me dominate alone, do you?"

The two men went up the steps and before they knocked on the door, the butler came out to greet them. It seemed that Prince Cheng knew that they would definitely follow him.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Nanqiao stepped into the gate, he saw King Cheng and his wife waiting at the door.

Princess Cheng no longer cared about anything else and took two steps forward to hold Shen Nanqiao's hand.

“Today was so dangerous!”

In comparison, Shen Nanqiao was no longer as surprised as she was in the palace. She looked steadily at Princess Cheng and directly asked the question she wanted to ask most that day.

"Why would Shen Mingde pretend not to know you?"

Princess Cheng's hand paused.

Upon seeing this, Prince Cheng quickly took over the conversation.

"This must be a long story, let's go in first."

Princess Cheng looked at him gratefully, and the four of them entered the hall.

Then the old butler and two servants brought up tea.

Prince Cheng was a little embarrassed: "There has been no mistress in the mansion for these years, so there are no maids to serve us. I have to buy some tomorrow."

"No need." Shen Nanqiao paused, "I'll send a few useful ones to honor Princess Cheng."

Prince Cheng and his wife seemed to be offended by the title and fell silent at the same time.

"There's no outsider here, so there's no need to be so polite..." Prince Cheng stammered, as if he didn't know how to get along with a girl as old as Shen Nanqiao.

"Since there are no outsiders here, just tell me everything you need to know."
