Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 12 Imperial Decree, Splashing Wealth and Power
As soon as she arrived at the door, Ye Lingwu saw a group of orderly people coming from the corridor over there. The leader was wearing a tall hat, wearing a dark red brocade robe, wrapped in a cotton cloak, holding a reel.

As they walked along the way, the female envoys and servants bowed and saluted one after another.

Seeing this, Jiang Lanshu hurriedly pulled Ye Lingwu into her seat without telling why, and when Ye Lingwu knelt down and was about to ask, the group stepped into the room.

"Master Shen, Princess Jiayi, congratulations, congratulations!"

The voice of the person walking in the front holding the scroll was sharp and penetrating, like a woman's voice, but much harsher than a woman's.

His appearance instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the room. Qin Mingyu, who was sitting at the top, saw him, quickly got up and walked forward with a straight posture, and said with a smile, "Eunuch Wan, why are you here?"

Father-in-law?Ye Lingwu suddenly realized, no wonder the voice was weird. She had heard "father-in-law" in Yuzhou before, and saw it for the first time today. She did not expect this father-in-law to be so fair, with smoother skin than a woman.

The visitors cast their gazes more or less, and some even got ready to salute and stopped the jade chopsticks in their hands.

Eunuch Wan smiled and said: "... Besides coming to say congratulations, our family also came to Ningbei Hou Mansion to announce the decree. Princess Jiayi, Lord Shen, and everyone here, please accept the decree? "

Shen Zhan got up and walked slowly. Shen Chongwen of the second bedroom and Mrs. Zhao also knelt down, and the guests on both sides bent their upper bodies deeply.

Seeing this, Ye Lingwu understood what to do now, even if she didn't know etiquette anymore, so she quickly got up and knelt down again, and bowed heavily.

Although Shen Ci was kneeling, he didn't bend his upper body deeply like the crowd, but put his hands on his forehead and his back was straight.

Eunuch Wan squeezed his throat and proclaimed: "Following the emperor's decree, Ningbei Marquis Shen Zhan recovered the lost ordnance in Jincheng, captured Fan Kun, who was secretly collaborating with the enemy country, and made first-class meritorious service. The Eldest Princess teaches her son well, and she conferred the title of First Grade Madam, to lead the decree~"

The visitor secretly looked at each other, exchanging glances with unclear meaning.This Ningbeihou Mansion is now overwhelmingly rich and powerful.

"Minister Shen Zhan, lead the order." Shen Chenzhan's tone was calm.

"Princess Jiayi Qin Mingyu, lead the decree!" Qin Mingyu's smile deepened.

Eunuch Fang handed the imperial decree to Shen Ci with both hands. After the imperial decree ceremony was over, everyone stood up.

Shen Pan'er took the lead, ran over and said: "Congratulations to my elder brother for being the general of the Zhu Kingdom, and congratulations to my aunt for being a first-class madam!"

Some people are in front, and others follow.

"Congratulations to Young Lord Shen, you are already a great general of the Zhu Kingdom at such a young age, even more powerful than your father."

"Congratulations, Young Master Shen, you are the first general of the Zhu Kingdom since the founding of our Dynasty!"

"Congratulations to Princess Jiayi for conferring a first-rank imperial order!"

"..."

There is a circle there.

Ye Lingwu was at a loss, hesitating whether to go forward to congratulate her, but she couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart for a long time.

The voice of Shen Zhan giving her the death order in the dream makes her shudder just thinking about it now.

Not only him, Qin Mingyu's reaction when he saw her for the first time outside the Hou's mansion that day was indifferent... with a trace of disgust?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Ye Lingwu can be sure that Qin Mingyu doesn't want to see her, if that's the case, don't go up to her to make people hate her.

Well, that's right, just make a good background.

Ye Lingwu was intoxicated in self-persuasion, but she didn't want everyone's eyes to follow Shen Zhan to her.

The top of the head suddenly darkened, Ye Lingwu slowly raised her head, and saw Shen Zhan looking down at her, and the people behind him were also looking at her.

There are surprises, doubts, jealousy, dissatisfaction...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye Lingwu followed Shen Zhan out of Haitang Zhai.

It is said that there is something to inform, but it is inconvenient to disclose the specifics to everyone, so I moved away.

After leaving the house, the cold wind poured into the collar, and the lantern on the porch was much darker than before, probably because the candles inside were almost burnt out.

Ye Lingwu followed Shen Zhan unhurriedly, and when she entered the side hall, Shen Zhan had already sat down on the soft couch.

Ye Lingwu was puzzled, stepped forward lightly and said, "I don't know what Master Hou wants to tell me?"

Shen Zhan lowered his eyes with no expression on his face.He raised his hand, picked out a jade pendant from the green sleeve with his slender fingers, and said quietly: "Can you complain that today's decree does not have any credit for you?"

Ye Lingwu was stunned for a moment, only feeling that the question was a bit muddled.She did help Shen Zhan out of the predicament, but after thinking about it for a long time, Fan Kun would not be able to escape whether she helped or not.

It's just that the result is ahead of schedule.

Because she still remembers the scene of three majestic ships surrounding the building after passing the Fushou Pass on the third day.

The Shen character flag was flying against the sea breeze.

This was the first time she had seen the majesty of Ningbei Hou Shen Zhan.

Looking at it makes you admire, and getting close makes you afraid.

For such a long time in the future, if she really loses her mind and makes some unforgivable big mistake, such a person will kill her like crushing an ant, silently.

Shen Zhan was playing with the jade pendant in his hand, his long fingers were carved out of jade and sculpted like green bamboo, he seemed not in a hurry for an answer, it took a long time before he heard an immature female voice break the silence.

"Never complained."

Shen Zhan lazily raised his long, sullen eyebrows, and said, "Why?"

Ye Lingwu said truthfully: "I overestimated myself and underestimated Lord Hou. If I knew it was you, I wouldn't have played tricks."

Shen Zhan didn't speak for a while, and then he said after a while: "I still remember what you said to me on the upstairs boat. You were innocent and upright, and you were so impressed by your ears and eyes. You don't want to turn a blind eye to it. Don't you think what you said now is contradictory to what you said before?"

"..."

Ye Lingwu was so questioned that her mind went blank, as if no matter what she said, it was wrong.

Unable to figure it out, she simply said: "Ling Wu doesn't understand what Master Hou means, you asked me to come here just to ask these questions?"

Shen Zhan raised his eyes, quite speechless.This cousin girl's petite temper comes as soon as she says it?
Ye Lingwu pretended not to know that he was looking at her, and just stared at the pair of embroidered shoes inlaid with tiny white beads that she had already counted during the day.

One hundred and nine, she counted it dozens of times, and she can't be wrong.

"This is the jade pendant bestowed on you by the Holy Majesty," Shen Zhan stretched out the jade pendant in his hand towards her, "Didn't you say 'lose the ancestral jade pendant', the Holy Majesty will give you one." Very interesting.

! ! ! ! ! ! !

He knows, he knows everything.

Ye Lingwu was stunned, her beautiful round eyes were clear and bright, as if thousands of galaxies were included in her eyes, glowing with lingling starlight.

"Holy... the Holy One gave... to me?" Ye Lingwu stammered.

Shen Zhan stood up and walked towards her, the candlelight shone on his tall body, but the shadow fell on Ye Lingwu, and the sense of oppression that belonged only to a high-ranking and powerful person came over.

He said, "Take it."

Ye Lingwu frowned, took the jade pendant slowly with both hands, and asked after knowing it: "Sage Yuci, I...do I want to kneel down?"

Some stay.

Shen Zhan hooked the corners of his mouth, walked past her and walked out of the house, "Hurry up and go back to the table."

Several lanterns on the corridor were extinguished, Shen Zhan was walking in the dark night, the surroundings were pitch black, Ye Lingwu still followed behind not too far, keeping the most appropriate distance.

In fact, he wanted to give the jade pendant to Ye Lingwu in the carriage this morning, but after seeing her deliberately alienating, he somehow didn't want to give it easily.

But just now, everyone gathered around to congratulate, but she lowered her head and did not move. Shen Zhan had to admit that his heart was suffocated for a moment.

After all, he risked his life and death, but he didn't get any rewards. Anyone would be disappointed.

That's why he ignored the presence of everyone and asked Ye Lingwu to speak alone. This was the first time he wanted to comfort the woman.

But at this moment Ye Lingwu didn't know Shen Zhan's thoughts at all, her eyes were all on the jade pendant in her hand, and she couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.

If grandpa knew that she had obtained the imperial gift, he would definitely be proud of her.
