Black Moonlight, after her robbery

Shi Shen's words made Ti Zhen feel uneasy, and he lay awake at night, always having the illusion that something big was going to happen.

It wasn't until a pair of hands held her in his arms that the warmth gave her a sense of comfort.

Everything went by smoothly, and the short-term prosperity of the capital was about to return to ordinary due to the departure of the envoys of Xiangguo and Rouran.

August [-]th is a famous traditional festival in the Central Plains. The palace continued the celebration. Because it was inconvenient for Ti Zhen to be pregnant and to avoid suspicion with Xiao Li, she did not go there on this day.

During the days in Antai, I took out my calligraphy treasure, wrote a few couplets and pasted them in the wing below, making the house more festive.

The sound of footsteps reached under the eaves, and Nian Ying came in and knelt down in front of her with a plop, "Greetings to the princess and aunt."

Ti Zhen put down the pen in his hand and raised his hand to signal him to move away.

But he seemed to have not seen Ti Zhen for a long time. He was so happy that he hugged her legs and choked softly like a child.

"I haven't seen you for the past few days, and I miss you every day..."

Wen Yuan and Wen Xiu looked at each other. It was normal for a nephew to miss his aunt, but after all, he avoided his mother when he was older. Besides, he was not his aunt, so he might not be too close to her.

After all, Wen Yuan knew the inside story and stepped forward to grab Nian Ying's wrist, "Master Nian Ying, please get up! Kneeling like this... is unreasonable."

However, she was soft-spoken and people ignored her at all.

Ti Zhen couldn't help it, so she lowered her hand and pulled him, "You are still acting like a spoiled brat at the age of [-] or [-]. Your third uncle will laugh at you if you tell me!"

Her skirt had a faint fragrance, just like the smell she had left in Nanyuan. As long as he smelled it, he would think of her face.On the contrary, the more King Qin stopped him, the more eager he became.

He stood up with her hand and complained in his heart. Before he could think of where to complain, Ti Zhen asked.

"I heard that after August [-]th, His Highness plans to arrange for you to be trained in the Hussars."

He smiled again and said: "That's good. Your Shen family is already a talented general. A tiger father has no dog son. You will definitely be as brave as your father and third uncle."

There was doubt in Nian Ying's eyes, "Does Auntie think this is great? But I think I'm still young and want to learn from Auntie the skills in books, just like Zhaoxu!"

Ti Zhen immediately shook his head and joked, "That kid Zhaoxu is useless. He hasn't memorized all the Four Books and Five Classics yet. Fortunately, the Shi family doesn't need him to be the head of the family. It doesn't matter if he is just lazy. But you are different."

She pinched her shoulders and said, "You still have the burden of the Shen family on your shoulders, as well as the hopes of your third uncle. Although he doesn't want you to be too proud of your ancestors, a man's ambition should be upright. How can you have someone who is afraid of it?" 'Are you good at writing?"

"Besides, when your third uncle was your age, he even got first place in the swordsmanship exam many times. How can you relax?"

Nian Ying thought for a moment and said, "Auntie really thinks so?"

Ti Zhen smiled, "Of course, if you make a difference, I will be happy too."

He slowly bowed his head and rested his forehead on her toes in a humble manner, "Since Auntie said so, I will not let Auntie down."

Ti Zhen really didn't understand what was wrong with him. After thinking about it, the child must have felt that he was helpless and missed his previous home, but he was too embarrassed to speak frankly, so he could only lose his temper in front of her.

He finally stood up, lowered his hands, and glanced at her, "Auntie..."

She smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, your Uncle Kong is in charge of the Hussars, and there are people taking care of you inside and outside. Just don't be too big to attract attention. You keep a low profile, do your best, and your family will make good arrangements for you. Although it's hard in the military, After all, His Highness is doing it for your future."

Whether it was for his own good or because he was afraid that he would covet his wife, only King Qin himself knew.

He couldn't tell the truth, so he could only deal with it with a smile.

Ti Zhen pursed her lips and said, "I just want to send a few copies of these words to your great-aunt, so come with me and ask."

Nian Ying obeyed her words and accompanied her out the door.

Passing by the lake, the lotus leaves in autumn are all ruined, and there is infinite desolation in the shadows.

Nian Ying suddenly said: "Uncle Three is watching over Northern Xinjiang at Beilu Pass and protecting our country. When I grow up, I will be like Uncle Three and show off my skills to defeat those restless barbarians." Everyone is in ruins, especially that Xiao Li, it would be better to beat him to death hard."

When Ti Zhen heard him talking about Xiao Li, he stumbled and almost fell down.

With quick eyes and quick hands, he turned sideways to catch her, and threw her into his arms.You can have such a moment in your life, no matter how short it is, it is enough to remember for a lifetime!
He unexpectedly hugged her and asked, "Auntie, are you okay?"

Ti Zhen said it didn't matter, "The newly cut skirt is a bit too long, so I'll step on it." He looked up and realized something was wrong, so he pushed him away awkwardly, "Luckily you have quick hands and quick eyes, otherwise this fall would have been a big deal."

After calmly resolving the situation, Nian Ying still had some aftertaste, until an anxious figure knelt in front of Ti Zhen, bringing him back to reality.Cao You said anxiously: "The girl is in trouble! Today at the palace banquet, the emperor issued a decree that Princess Ruyang will be married to Rouran Khan and become the Dalan clan!"

I just felt a thrill, and my whole body was drenched with ice water, and a chill came from my bones.

Rouran Khan is already over 60 years old this year, how could the emperor let the princess marry him!
"Did the emperor give the order? Did the emperor give the order in front of everyone?"

Cao Er's eyes were a little uncertain, "I heard...it was Uncle Shen's suggestion...His Majesty agreed to it right away."

Ti Zhen's eyebrows moved slightly, and his color changed. When he raised his head again, there was a trace of tears in his eyes, "Brother? It's him!"

She suddenly became sharp-eyed and asked: "Where is he now? Has he come back?!"

Cao Er nodded, "Fang entered the house."

Before she finished speaking, she felt like it was stabbing her heart. She pushed people away and ran towards Shi Shen's courtyard.

The sound of footsteps was like thunder. Just as Shi Shen took a sip of tea, he heard the movement. When he saw that it was Ti Zhen running towards him with a big belly, he could not help but scold him.

"You're already a mother, but you're still so unsteady, carefully bumping the child."

Ti Zhen ignored his words and asked him directly, "Did you ask the princess to get married?!"

Shi Shen was surprised and wanted to comfort her, "Sister, listen to me..."

"Just say it, right!?"

Shi Shen's eyes were as strong as a mountain and there was no way to hide. It was worth admitting, "Yes, but..."

However, before he could explain, he was slapped hard on the cheek, and Ti Zhen almost cried out in anger.

"Damn! Damn!!!"

She opened her eyes wide, holding back her grief and anger, and looked at him.

"Do you know that Rouran Khan can be the princess's grandfather? How can you ruin her and let her get married? Do you know... you will kill her if you do this!"

Shi Shen received a slap and didn't take it seriously, "But I didn't kill her either! I've already said that this scourge can't be saved. Since you will be sad if I kill you, I'll just go as far away as possible to save her life." , I’m already showing mercy to her!”

"Have mercy?" Ti Zhen stared at him with disdain, "You might as well kill her! By doing this, you not only insult her, but you also insult me, and you insult thousands of women!"

"I send a concubine to settle the country, but I don't know where to use the general. What I hate most are hypocrites who sacrifice women for benefits! What I hate the most now is my brother's doing... You simply used what I despise the most You insulted me! You licked your face and said it was for my own good!"

She grabbed his collar and burst into tears, "Do you know that since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for a marriage. It was you who created the first one. Then when a marriage is needed again, you will want to I can’t even refuse! Because you started it!”

"Do you think it's just the princess of the royal family who is sacrificed? It's us ministers and clan members who are more likely to be sacrificed! If one day the daughter of the Shi family and my daughter are getting married, can you say with peace of mind that it's okay! Can you bear to... ...Watching your dearest relative marry an old wretched Danglan family!"

"Have you ever thought about this...?"

Originally, Shi Shen was just immersed in the joy of driving away the princess. When he heard Ti Zhen's words, he instantly got goosebumps and fell heavily on the chair.

"I...I don't know, I didn't know there would be such consequences."

Ti Zhen's eyes were red, and he was unwilling to give in after all. He said angrily: "You don't know? Because of your ignorance, everyone outside now says that the person who did this will not die well!"

"We all have to die!"

Shi Shen was dejected and had nothing to say for a moment. He wanted to open his mouth and say that he would meet the emperor, but the decree was already issued, so how could the emperor withdraw?Is it one wrong step after all?
"Little sister..."

He tried to arouse her, but she turned away, feeling indescribable boredom and disgust.

If he had known this, if he had known that this brother was not qualified to be an official, why would he have been given such great rights and opportunities, which would bring disaster to the princess.

She is!Like the age when a flower bud blooms, it is originally carefree.Even not long ago, she was discussing with the princess how to take her out of the palace. Now that she heard the news, she felt so desperate and helpless!

Could it be that she has committed so many sins that even God is not willing to give her a chance to atone for her sins...

Trying hard to suppress the sadness and hatred surging in his heart, he had to go to the palace first to do whatever he wanted at the moment.She turned around angrily and hurriedly asked people to prepare for the eviction of the sedan chair.
