After school, Shin Chae-jeong declined a friend's invitation to go play together, returned home, and saw her family members with glowing eyes.

Shen Caijing pursed her lips, "What's wrong with you?"

"Chaejeong." Shen Chaejeong's father and mother spoke at the same time, and looked at each other. Shin Chaejeong's mother signaled for Shin Chaejeong's father to speak. Shin Chaejeong's father ran up to Shen Chaejeong, put his hands together, and squinted his eyes dreamily, " Caijing, the palace is calling."

"What?" Shen Caijing blinked.

"I invite you to go to the palace tomorrow to discuss the marriage contract." Shen Caijing's mother added on the side.

After speaking, the whole family looked at Shen Caijing expectantly.

Shen Caijing looked at her family with her mouth pursed. She neither overreacted nor resisted, nor was she as excited and happy as her family expected. She nodded lightly and said, "Understood, I will go tomorrow."

Now Shen Caijing's family members were surprised, the three looked at each other in doubt, Shen Caijing's reaction was too flat, wasn't it?

Shin Chaejeong's mother winked at Shin Chaejeong's father, and Shin Chaejeong's father blinked to express acceptance, and hugged Shen Chaejeong's arm with a flattering smile, "Chaejeong, have you figured it out, do you want to agree to the marriage contract?"

"Hehe." Shen Caijing sneered, shook her head and said word by word: "That's not true, parents, stop dreaming!"

Then he pushed Dad away, walked into the living room, put down his schoolbag and sat on the sofa, "I will go to the palace, but I am going to dissolve the engagement!"

"What!?" Shen Caijing's parents rushed to sit down next to Shen Caijing, pulling Shen Caijing one by one to persuade her: "Caijing, don't be arrogant! Such a good thing, don't push it away because of anger! "

"I didn't get angry, and I didn't act rashly!" Shen Caijing looked at her parents with a serious expression, "Mom and Dad, marriage is a lifetime thing, so this is my serious and prudent decision."

"Why? Why?" Shen Caijing's father wrinkled his face, very sad.

Seeing her father like this, Shen Caijing couldn't bear it, "Dad, how could His Royal Highness marry someone like me?"

"How can it be impossible!" Shen Caijing's father held up the ring, "You have a marriage contract! Do you understand the marriage contract! It's you, the grandson of the emperor, the promise that you two will get married!"

"But the grandson of the emperor doesn't want to marry me at all!" Shen Caijing shouted unbearably.

"What? How do you know? Why doesn't the grandson of the emperor want to marry you?" Shen Caijing's family was startled and looked at Shen Caijing with concern.

Shen Caijing sighed weakly, "Today the grandson of the emperor came to our school."

"It's too much!" Shen Caijing's father stared angrily, "How could His Royal Highness be like this, the elder's agreement, what did he tell you at school? Didn't like my daughter? He told you that he would cancel engagement?"

Brother Shen, who had always worshiped the emperor's grandson, frowned, "His Royal Highness is not such a person!"

"Father!" Shen Caijing sighed, "No, the emperor's grandson didn't see me, but I overheard the conversation between the emperor's grandson and Prince Li Xin. The emperor's grandson said that he didn't want to marry a complete stranger."

Then imitating Azhuo's worried tone, he said: "That girl is just a high school student, a child from a commoner family, she has not received court education, and she doesn't know court etiquette. She can withstand the pressure of the royal family and can bear the burden Is it the responsibility and obligation of the empress dowager and concubine?"

Shin Chae-jeong's family looked at Shin Chae-jeong, Shin Chae-jeong's younger brother curled his mouth, Shin Chae-jeong's father bit his lip, Shin Chae-jeong's mother lowered her eyes, and the three of them sighed together.

My own daughter knew that if it wasn't for the marriage contract that fell suddenly, Shen Caijing's parents would not have dared to think that their daughter could marry the emperor's grandson, and they were indeed unworthy.

"Anyway, this marriage contract is invalid! Just give it up!" Shen Caijing finished speaking, pushed her parents away and went back to the room sullenly.

The next day, because she was going to the palace and she couldn't be rude, Shen Caijing put on the best clothes, and Shen Caijing's mother helped Shen Caijing tie her hair.

Shin Chaejeong's father looked at his daughter and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."

Shen Caijing looked at herself in the mirror, lowered her eyes uncomfortably, turned her head and said, "Anyway, anyway, I... have said that and quit, what kind of dress is this!"

Shen Caijing's mother bowed her head, and Shen Caijing's father didn't speak. Seeing this situation, Shen's younger brother lay on the ground with his mouth puckered and fiddled with the keepsake ring.

"Father's company went bankrupt, and the family became like this because of a wrong letter of guarantee. I know that." Shen Caijing glanced at her father cautiously, and Shen Caijing's father sighed in shame.

"Dad has been unemployed for more than a year, and my mother makes insurance to make ends meet. Sending me to that art high school with very expensive tuition fees made you very hard." Shen Caijing looked at her mother again and said, "My parents are reluctant to eat and wear to support us. all know."

Shin Chae-jeong's mother also sighed.

"But..." Shen Caijing paused after saying this.

Shen Caijing's parents, who felt that something was going on, immediately came over and looked at Shen Caijing nervously, "But?"

"However, if you sell me in this way, will you really feel at ease?" Shen Caijing finally asked what was in her heart.

Hearing this, Shen Caijing's parents looked down, looked at each other, and sighed at the same time, Shen Caijing's father thought about it, stood up, went to his son to grab the ring, and threw it outside, "Forget it, just be Haven't had it!"

Shen Caijing's mother looked at her husband's behavior in surprise, and slapped her husband angrily, "You man! Are you crazy? Really..."

Brother Shin rushes out to find the ring.

Shen Caijing's father stiffened at this time, "Is there anything more important than the happiness of my daughter? Marriage, what terms are you talking about, is money everything? Is it everything?"

"It's everything, it's the condition!" Shen Caijing's mother said, "Caijing, you are still young so you don't know. Among the blessings of women, marriage accounts for the most. I hope you will no longer be like me. I have trouble making a living, so I did that, but I never thought of selling you."

Shen Caijing lowered her head and blinked her eyes.

"I still have to live my own life." Shen Caijing's mother sighed, "Forget it, forget it." Then she took out the latest sewing machine she bought for Shen Caijing.

Shen Caijing looked at the sewing machine in surprise, pursed her lips, and said, "What is this for? Why did you buy such an expensive one? The family doesn't have much money, and they are all in debt."

Brother Shen found the ring and took it in. When he saw the sewing machine, he pouted unhappily, "What am I? I want to buy an mp3 too."

At this time, the doorbell rang, and Shen Caijing's father blinked and said, "Is someone from the palace here?"

It's a pity that the people who came were not people from the palace, but loan sharks.

A few men entered the house and searched for the valuables of Shen Caijing's family. They pasted red sticky notes on all of them, and complained disgustedly, "Why is this family so poor?"

The Shen family could only watch, but could not do anything.

First, Shen Caijing's father self-criticized and apologized to Shen Caijing's mother, and then Shen Caijing's mother pleaded with the loan shark, but was completely ignored.

The loan shark saw the newly bought sewing machine and went to post the note, but was stopped by the family. Shen Caijing's mother finally broke out and quarreled with the loan shark.In the chaos, the family and the loan sharks fought from inside to outside the house. The loan sharks won an overwhelming victory. A man even put a red stripe on Shen Caijing's father's head, making fun of Shen Caijing's father's incompetence .

Shen Caijing was too angry to hit that person, but was grabbed by the hair and slapped on the head.

Shen Caijing's father hurriedly protected Shen Caijing and yelled angrily: "Do you know how noble this child is! You gangsters!"

At this time, the people from the palace arrived.

The loan shark took a look, and continued to bully Shen's family indifferently.

Shen Caijing stood up to protect her family, glared fiercely at the loan shark, then took a deep breath, made a decision in her heart, stretched out her hand and said to younger brother Shen: "Give me the ring."

After getting the ring, Shen Caijing held it tightly in her hand, looked at her family one last time, turned around and walked firmly towards the people in the palace.

When they arrived at the palace, Shen Caijing was brought to a living room, sat and waited for a while, someone outside announced: "The Empress is here, Huizheng Palace is here."

Shen Caijing stood up quickly, the queen and Xu Huaying went to sit down opposite Shen Caijing, looked at Shen Caijing for a while, the queen said: "Sit down, you look more beautiful than the photo."

"Thank you." Shen Caijing smiled shyly.

"So, what do you think about the marriage contract with the emperor's grandson?" the queen looked at Shen Caijing kindly and asked.

Shen Caijing bit her lips nervously, looked at the queen and Xu Huaying anxiously, "I... I am actually, I am here to tell you that I plan to get married."

"Really?" Xu Huaying's complexion turned bad instantly, "I thought you would strongly oppose it."

The queen gave Xu Huaying a disapproving look, Xu Huaying stopped her breath, and the queen asked Shen Caijing with a smile, "Then, what is the reason?"

"Well, you probably all know that." Shen Caijing said in a low voice, "My father is unemployed, and my mother's job is in insurance."

After hearing this, the queen was a little surprised, and Xu Huaying's complexion became even worse, "So?"

"So, can you make the hard-working parents live a little more comfortably?" Shin Chae-jeong lowered her head.

"It seems that you want to get the corresponding reward. You are more worldly than you look." Xu Huaying was really angry, "How dare you put any conditions on marrying into the royal family!"

"It's not a condition, it's just a request..." Shen Caijing quickly explained.

"You shouldn't be the one to come forward for this kind of thing." Xu Huaying said coldly.

The queen pressed Xu Huaying, "The future in-laws of the royal family will of course give them appropriate help to preserve dignity."

"What?" Shen Caijing was stunned for a while when she heard the queen's words, and then she smiled sincerely, "Then, thank you...thank you, empress, I will work hard to get married!"

"The emperor's grandson is here!"

Ah Zhuo, who had just finished his archery class and arrived, happened to hear Shen Caijing saying that he would work hard to get married, so he couldn't help laughing, "Work hard? What are you trying to do?"

Because Shen Caijing eavesdropped on the conversation between Ah Zhuo and Li Xin, she naturally knew what Ah Zhuo was thinking, and she stood up guilty, "I will try my best to be a concubine." Then she bowed deeply to Ah Zhuo, "Trust me, please!"
