Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Shen Li's words silenced everyone. She mentioned the most important aspect.

Xiao Chenze already has an uncle who is the Duke of Zhenguo, who already holds the military power of three-tenths of the Great Zhou.

If he were engaged to Shen Li, Shen Li's uncle would be the General of the Cavalry, and his military power would be no less than that of the Duke of Zhenguo.

Shouldn't the emperor be most concerned about the two military giants becoming relatives?

This does not include the support of Guanyong Marquis Mansion. Shen Li is the savior of the old lady of the Marquis Mansion. Whoever Shen Li marries, Guanyong Marquis Mansion will unconditionally favor him.

As a reminder, the military power of Guanyonghou Mansion is also 30%.

In this way, once the matter between Xiao Chenze and Shen Li is settled, it means that all the military forces of the Great Zhou will be in Xiao Chenze's hands. How can the emperor still sleep well?

What if something like what happened to the Fourth Prince happens again?

The emperor and the empress dowager looked at each other.

Fang Yao also frowned.

Could it be that the emperor has chosen Xiao Chenze as the prince?

Seeing the atmosphere becoming somewhat tense, the Queen Mother coughed, drawing everyone's attention. "The Emperor doesn't care about these matters, and I care even less. I only know that my eldest grandson still hasn't found a princess, while his brothers are all getting married one after another. How can that be okay?"

"Girl Li, listen to me. Let's arrange this marriage with Chen'er today. With the support of me and the Emperor, you will be the most honored among the sisters-in-law. I'm telling you, don't be fooled by Chen'er's sour face all day long. In fact, when he was young, he was kind and amiable, and was a prince loved by everyone in the palace. Alas, it was after his mother passed away that he became quiet and withdrawn..."

"Look, why am I talking about all this? I won't say any more. Let's continue talking about your marriage. Where was I?"

Shen Li said softly, "Speaking of which, let's get engaged first."

"Yes, yes, you two should get engaged first. You finally agreed. Great, great! You are such a good child. You know that I am not in good health and you don't want me to die with regrets. You are such a filial and good child."

"Oh no, when did I...didn't your servant..."

"Your Majesty, why don't you draft the decree quickly? What are you still standing there for? Miss Li has agreed. Are you so surprised that you have forgotten what to do?" The Queen Mother interrupted Shen Li's words and yelled at the Emperor.

Everyone was stunned.

Fang Yao was the first to react and opened his mouth to object. At this time, the emperor also reacted. As soon as he saw Fang Yao's expression, he knew what he was going to do. He hurriedly said to Eunuch Chang, "Prepare the writing materials. This is a great event. Hahaha, this is a great event."

Shen Li was almost crying, "No, Queen Mother, I, your servant did not..."

"It's okay, it's okay. I understand everything," the Queen Mother interrupted her again, not wanting her to continue. "I know you're filial. You agreed to this because I'm old and in poor health. I understand everything. It's rare for you to have such a heart. The Emperor and I have seen it. Don't worry, my dear child. I will personally prepare the betrothal gifts for you and let you enter our royal family with great fanfare. Oh, my heart is so relieved. I feel relieved. Your Majesty, my health has only improved thanks to Miss Li's kindness. You must reward her well."

"Yes, what the Queen Mother said is true. I understand."

The emperor quickly agreed and had to admire his mother's cunning.

After all, the experienced one is very experienced. Seeing that both the uncle and nephew refused to agree, the queen mother was able to find a way out and lure Miss Shen into the trap.

Hahaha, seeing Fang Yao's frustrated look, why is he in such a good mood?

Fang Yao was already staring blankly, completely confused by the Empress Dowager.

Shen Li was also in a difficult situation.

If you don't agree, it means you are disregarding the Queen Mother's health; if you agree, it means you are filial to your children. How do these things connect?
