Seeing that Zhao Xu had blown his hair and achieved his goal, Zhao Yan felt relieved and stopped entangled with him. He pretended to be a brother and friend, and patted him on the shoulder to remind him: "Come in quickly, don't let Father Huang stay for a long time." wait."

He seemed to have just discovered Yinyue hiding behind Zhao Xu, his eyebrows and eyes were full of ridicule: "Xinhuan?"

"Good taste, brother."

Zhao Xu remained silent.

When they arrived, the palace banquet had already begun.

Zhao Xu, Zhao Yan, Shen Xi paid homage to the high-ranking emperor - Zhao Yu, and all took their seats.

Zhao Xu's seat was just opposite to Shen Xi's.

He looked at Shen Xi who was thinking about it day and night, and he had a lot to say to him but couldn't say anything.

He just wanted to stare at Shen Xi like this until eternity.

"Shen Aiqing."

"The minister is here."

"For so many years stationed in the frontier fortress, I have worked so hard for Aiqing, and I will respect Aiqing for the world."

Zhao Yu raised a glass of wine towards Shen Xi, and Shen Xi immediately held the wine glass.

Zhao Yu raised his head and drank a glass of wine, and then said: "Thank you, Aiqing, to continue guarding the world for me."

"I am afraid, this is what I should do."

The Shen family has been generals for generations.

Generations of loyal people.

His ancestor, General Shen Tingwei, and the founding emperor were friends who fought together on horseback.

From the establishment of the Daning Dynasty to the present, for a hundred years, relying on the Shen family army to garrison the frontier fortress, it was able to keep the Daning frontier fortress peaceful for many years and no one dared to invade.

The emperors of all dynasties valued the generals of the Shen family very much.

After drinking a glass of wine, Zhao Yu returned to the topic, which is also the main purpose of his holding this palace banquet.

"Shen Aiqing, you are not young anymore. Is there any Miss Qianjin who you are in love with? I will give you a marriage."

Zhao Xu put his hands under the table and clenched them into fists.

Shen Xi smiled and said: "I have been stationed in the frontier fortress for many years, how can I have any chance to meet such a rich lady?"

"Oh, how about I point out a family for you?"

"Sir, thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen Xi was obviously very excited.

He is a 25-year-old young man who has been single for the country for so many years, and he finally has a wife. Can he not be excited?

Zhao Yu also has his own plans.

It is said that the Shen family protects Daning and peace, but the Shen family holds most of the military power of the Daning Dynasty.

As an emperor, he always taboos the courtiers who hold military power.

No matter how loyal this courtier is on the surface, he can't completely dispel the emperor's grudge.

Unless the person is closely associated with the royal family.

Only by becoming a family can we eliminate the hidden danger of possible rebellion.

After much deliberation, he decided to use this palace banquet to point out his youngest daughter, the Twelve Princesses, as his wife.

Say it and point it.

Zhao Yu recruited the servants in the palace to whisper a few words, and ordered the palace servants to bring the princess.

After a while, the princess came elegantly dressed in colorful feather clothes.

Zhao Yu looked at the slim daughter in front of him, and stroked his beard very satisfied.

"Is Shen Aiqing satisfied with the twelve princesses?"

Shen Xi hadn't seen such a beautiful woman in ten years, and was stunned for a moment.

So much so that he didn't respond to the emperor's inquiry.

Zhao Xu looked at this scene with a worried expression.

Shen Xi hurriedly said: "The princess is as beautiful as a fairy."

"Then you are willing to betroth the princess to Aiqing."

Shen Xi opened his eyes wide, then nodded frantically and said: "Thank you Zu Rongen."

Zhao Yan's seat is next to Zhao Xu's.

From the very beginning he had been watching his little brother's every move.

Seeing his clenched fists under the table, and the man-eating look in his eyes when he heard that his father gave Shen Xi a marriage, he could tell that his younger brother liked Shen Xi very much.
