Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy

The emperor looked at Shen Xue in front of him and asked, "Does the Princess of Ya'an know how to play chess?"

"Your Majesty, I know a thing or two."

"Come and play games with me."

"Your humble servant is stupid and I am afraid I will spoil the emperor's fun."

"It doesn't matter."

Shen Xue bowed slightly and saluted, "Your Highness obeys your command."

Chen Fu quickly set up the chessboard, and Shen Xue carefully came to the opposite side of the emperor and sat opposite him.

"Your Majesty, do you want to play white or black?"

"Black."

"Your Majesty, please."

After the emperor placed the black piece, Shen Xue followed suit and placed the white piece.

After a few moves, the emperor raised his eyes slightly and looked at Shen Xue. He saw that her eyes were clear and she was focused on the chess game. Although she was not as brave and careful as her elder sister, she was also a good girl.

As she reached the midfield, Shen Xue gradually immersed herself in it, a hint of confidence revealed in her eyes, and she dared to make bold moves.

As the chess game drew to a close, beads of sweat began to form on Shen Xue's forehead. She would think for a long time before making each move.

Finally, the game ended and Shen Xue lost.

"Your Majesty, your chess skills are superb. I am ashamed to be inferior to you."

"It's okay, continue."

Shen Xue gradually relaxed and started to play games with the emperor.

Shen Rou brought her two children to the Empress Dowager's Yongshou Palace.

When Aunt Cui saw Shen Rou and her son, she said, "This old servant greets Princess Mu and the two young masters."

"Madame Cui, please excuse me. Where is the Queen Mother?"

"The Queen Mother is in the warm room, Princess Mu, please come in."

When she arrived at the warm room, the Queen Mother smiled kindly.

"The daughter-in-law pays homage to the Queen Mother. The grandson pays homage to the Imperial Grandmother."

"Princess Mu, please excuse me. Yan'er and Qing'er, come here to the Empress Dowager."

The two children slowly came over, and the Queen Mother handed them the cakes on the table, "Thank you, Grandmother."

"Like it?"

"like."

The Queen Mother said worriedly, "I heard that Pingzhou had a severe snowstorm and the Emperor sent Lao Jiu to deal with it. I'm really worried about his safety in this icy and snowy place."

Shen Rou hurriedly comforted him: "Don't worry, mother. The prince is accompanied by guards. When he arrives in Qingzhou, he will go to the military camp to mobilize 10,000 soldiers to provide disaster relief."

"Old Nine was sent by the Emperor to carry out disaster relief as soon as he returned. Is there no one among the numerous civil and military officials in the court who can take on this important task?"

"Mother, the Emperor and his ministers have discussed and unanimously decided that sending the prince to provide disaster relief is the most appropriate. The snow disaster is ruthless and we must send a noble and steady person to comfort the people and help them overcome this crisis, so that the people will feel that the Emperor has not forgotten them."

"The princes are of noble status, but they are young and unstable. If they go there and are not handled properly, it may cause unnecessary trouble."

"I just feel that you are pregnant, and it will take Lao Jiu several months to go to Pingzhou and back. He may not be able to come back in time for you to give birth."

"When the prince goes to Pingzhou, he only needs to help the affected people resettle their lives. The emperor will send other officials to rebuild their homes. He will definitely be able to return by the time I give birth."

"That would be best. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. Having a husband by your side would make you feel much more at ease."

"What the Queen Mother said is absolutely right."

"Nowadays, many female doctors in the Royal College of Physicians can help women with caesarean sections and save many women's lives."

"I know this is all thanks to you sisters."

"this is what we are supposed to do."

The Queen Mother looked at Shen Rou, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and she felt more and more satisfied with her daughter-in-law. She had been dissatisfied with her before, probably because the more her son cared about her, the more uncomfortable she felt, so she targeted her everywhere.

At this moment, she thought to herself that Shen Rou's character and temperament were indeed unique. She was well-mannered, with intelligence and determination in her eyes. Only a woman like her was worthy of my son.

The Queen Mother's attitude towards Shen Rou changed, and the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law became much more harmonious.

Two children were playing nearby, and bursts of laughter from the elderly and children could be heard from the warm room from time to time.

In the main hall, Shen Xue played several games of chess with the emperor. Although she still lost more than she won, she was getting better and the game was in full swing.

As the game progressed, Shen Xue fell into a difficult situation and ended up losing. Her expression was calm, without any impatience, which made the emperor look up to Shen Xue's character.

She gently put down the chess piece and said, "Your Majesty is a master of chess. I, your humble servant, am humbled by your skill."

A glint of admiration flashed in the emperor's eyes: "Princess Ya'an, your chess skills are not bad either, though you are slightly inferior today."

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I still have many shortcomings and need to improve."

"Princess Ya'an, today's chess game ends here."

Shen Xue quickly stood up and took her leave, then she left the hall and let out a deep breath.

Su Yu had been waiting at the entrance to the main hall. "Princess Ya'an, the princess sent a message saying that you and the emperor should end your game and return home directly."

"it is good."

The next day in the court, the emperor recounted the story of Shen Rou and her sister donating money yesterday, his words full of praise.

When the civil and military officials heard this, they all nodded in praise and expressed their sincere admiration for the sisters' kindness and righteous deeds.

Under this wave of praise, the people were deeply moved and donated money generously. For a time, the court was filled with warmth and goodwill.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, anyone who dares not to donate will be regarded as an unkind and unjust person.

Shangguan Rui showed a hint of pride when he heard the emperor and the ministers praising Shen Xue, and was happier than when others praised him.

However, the eldest prince and Censor He were worried in their hearts, always afraid that the secret in Xiping Mountain would be exposed.

After the morning court session, the Emperor issued two imperial edicts. "Chen Fu, send this imperial edict granting marriage to the Princess's residence and order Shen Xue, the Princess of Ya'an, to receive it."

"Old slave obeys the order."

He then gave another imperial edict to Chen Fu and ordered him to send someone to deliver it to the Third Prince's Palace.

"Princess of Ya'an County, Shen Xue receives the order."

Shen Xue and everyone in the Shen family knelt down to receive the order.

"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims: The Lady of Ya'an, Shen Xue, is gentle and virtuous, with outstanding talent and beauty. I have personally heard of her and am delighted. Now that the Third Prince, Shangguan Rui, has reached the age of twenty, it is time for her to be married. Your virtuous daughter is a perfect match, a match made in heaven for the Third Prince. I betroth you to the Third Prince as his principal consort. All ceremonial arrangements shall be jointly handled by the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Observatory. I decree this."

Shen Xue was so excited that she even forgot to accept the imperial edict.

Shen Rou reminded quietly, "Xiaoxue, accept the decree and express your gratitude."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Shen Rou handed the eunuch a hundred-liang silver note and said, "Thank you, eunuch."

"Congratulations, Princess Mu. Congratulations, Princess Mu. I'll take my leave."

"Han Lin, please see my eunuch off for me."

"Yes."

Shen Xue was so excited that she held the shining imperial edict in both hands, still in a daze.

The Shen family members all smiled, and the grandparents were so excited that they danced with joy.

"Father and mother, Xiaorou is marrying the prince, and Xiaoxue will soon marry the third prince. Our Shen family hasn't had a scholar or an official for decades, and it's amazing that Xiaorou has one. One will become a princess, and the other a prince's consort. The ancestors have appeared, and our Shen family will be royal relatives from now on. It seems like a dream."

"A few years ago, our family had trouble finding food, clothing, and daily necessities. But in just a few years, we've become members of the royal family. This is something we couldn't even dream of."

Grandma pinched Grandpa's arm hard, causing Old Man Shen to frown in pain. "Old woman, why are you pinching me?"

"I just wanted to see if I was dreaming."

"Shouldn't you pinch yourself? That way you'll know if it's real or not."

"Doesn't it hurt when you pinch yourself? I may be old, but I'm not stupid."

Everyone in the Shen family smiled when they saw what grandma did.

Shen Rou gently stroked her slightly bulging belly, looked at everything in front of her with satisfaction, and smiled happily.

Shangguan Rui received the imperial decree granting him marriage and knelt on the ground with his heart in his throat. But when he heard that the girl he loved would become his principal wife and that the emperor also appointed him as the admiral of the navy, his face slightly raised, unable to hide the joy in his heart.
