Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

There was clearly something else behind Hong Chengchou's words.

If you still dare to question it, I am afraid the emperor will be furious and you will be in big trouble!
Thinking of this, all the ministers knelt down and apologized.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have no other intentions. It's just that I can't adapt to it for the time being. Please understand your majesty."

"Humph!" Hong Chengchou stood with his hands behind his back, his tone grim, "Is it difficult to adapt? I ascended the throne today, how can I allow you to question me?"

"If you neglect me again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

When the ministers heard this, they were terrified.

They kowtowed hurriedly and said they would obey the imperial edict.

Only then did Hong Chengchou nod with satisfaction and waved his hand to signal the ministers to leave.

In the hall, only he and Shen Rong were left.

Hong Chengchou turned around and looked at Shen Rong with burning eyes.

"Shen Qing, now that I am about to ascend the throne, the safety of the country depends entirely on you and me!"

Shen Rong bowed and said, "Your Majesty is on the throne, and the world is fortunate. I am willing to serve Your Majesty with all my heart and soul!"

"Very good!" Hong Chengchou nodded with satisfaction. "My dear minister and I are as close as brothers. In the future, we must work together to create great achievements and create a prosperous world!"

Shen Rong was filled with gratitude and nodded repeatedly.

Hong Chengchou added: "My dear, the death of the Queen and the Crown Prince really makes me sad and angry."

"Now I am all alone and need a good wife to help me."

Shen Rong was shocked when he heard this.

He vaguely felt that Hong Chengchou's words seemed to have a deeper meaning.

As expected, Hong Chengchou said, "Mr. Shen, we have a deep friendship. I have a favor to ask of you. Would you be willing to agree to it?"

"Your Majesty, please speak freely," Shen Rong bowed and said, "I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Hong Chengchou smiled and said slowly, "I am very pleased that you are so loyal."

"My dear, would you be willing to marry your sister to me?"

When these words came out, Shen Rong was struck by lightning.

He stared at Hong Chengchou in a daze, unable to speak for a moment.

"Your Majesty, are you serious?" he asked stutteringly.

"Of course!" Hong Chengchou said solemnly, "I am lonely and helpless, and I can't sleep at night. If your beloved sister is by my side, it will definitely help me get rid of my loneliness."

"Besides, we two are as close as brothers. If we can get married, it will be the icing on the cake!"

"This..." Shen Rong looked embarrassed and said hesitantly, "But my sister is still young and frail."

"How dare I approach Your Majesty?"

"What are you talking about?" Hong Chengchou frowned and said, "I like your sister because I really like her. Why would I care about her background?"

"Besides, if your sister enters the palace, she will be rich and prosperous. Isn't that a good thing?"

Shen Rong felt even more conflicted when he heard this.

On the one hand, he was deeply grateful to Hong Chengchou.

If I could marry my sister to the emperor, that would be a great thing.

But on the other hand, he was worried that his sister was still young and might have difficulty adapting to the palace.

If I fail to serve the emperor well, it would be a disaster!
Thinking of this, Shen Rong's forehead broke out in sweat and he shook his head repeatedly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really don't dare to marry someone so high."

"Why do you think so?" Hong Chengchou sneered, "Could it be that your sister has someone else in love?"

"No! I dare not!" Shen Rong knelt down immediately in fear. "My sister has always been well-behaved. How could she have a lover?"

"Just. Just"

"Just what?" Hong Chengchou's face darkened, "Could it be that Mr. Shen looks down on me?"

"No! I dare not!" Shen Rong kowtowed hurriedly, "I, Shen, am deeply grateful to Your Majesty. How dare I be disrespectful?"

"It's just that this matter is of great importance. Your Majesty, please think twice." "Think twice?" Hong Chengchou snorted coldly, "I have made up my mind. How can I allow you to question it?"

"Someone come here," he shouted, "bring Shen Rong down and give him eighty lashes!"

"Your Majesty!" Shen Rong was so frightened that his soul flew out of his body. He kowtowed repeatedly, "I know I was wrong and I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."

"Asshole!" Hong Chengchou was furious. "My granting of marriage is a great grace from heaven. How dare you refuse? It's simply treason!"

"Come here, why don't you quickly drag this rebellious person away to me?"

"Your Majesty, spare my life!" Shen Rong burst into tears and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Shen, Shen is willing to marry my sister to Your Majesty."

"That's more like it!" Hong Chengchou sneered, "Since Mr. Shen knows what's good for you, I won't bother with you."

Hong Chengchou nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Shen Rong.

"Shen Qing is indeed a wise man. He who knows the current situation is a hero!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Rong forced a smile, but he felt extremely miserable in his heart.

My sister is young and ignorant. If she enters the palace, I'm afraid she will be in great danger.

But the emperor has already issued an order, how dare he disobey?
"Your Majesty, when will my sister enter the palace?" Shen Rong asked cautiously.

"It's better to do it today than to wait for a day!" Hong Chengchou waved his hand, "Let's do it today! I want to go and pick up the bride myself."

"Today?" Shen Rong was shocked. "Isn't this too hasty? My sister hasn't prepared her dowry yet."

"Don't worry!" Hong Chengchou sneered, "After entering the palace, are you worried about not having a dowry? My woman, of course, wants to be clothed in fine clothes and fed with delicious food, and enjoy all the wealth and luxury!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Rong could only smile bitterly.

The emperor has made up his mind, and it is useless for him to say more.

"Then I'll have to trouble Your Majesty to come and welcome the bride in person." Shen Rong lowered his head sadly, not daring to look Hong Chengchou in the eye.

"Of course!" Hong Chengchou was very proud. "Come here, prepare the car. I want to go to the Shen Mansion to pick up my bride!"

"Yes!" His Highness's eunuch took the order and left.

Shen Rong felt dizzy and his eyes went dark.

He stumbled behind Hong Chengchou and felt his legs go weak and he could hardly stand.

The group of people left the palace in a mighty procession and headed straight for the Shen Mansion.

When the people along the way saw the emperor arriving, they all knelt down to salute and shouted "Long live the emperor".

Hong Chengchou sat upright in the carriage with a smug look on his face.

All the way, he was imagining the beauty of the bride.

I heard that Miss Shen is as beautiful as a flower. It would be a great honor if I could win her heart!
The carriage stopped in front of the Shen Mansion, and the housekeeper hurried out to greet it.

"Your Majesty, my Lord invites you!"

Hong Chengchou strode into the courtyard, looking around.

"Where is your sister, Mr. Shen? Why don't you come out and greet me?"

Shen Rong's heart trembled, and he said calmly: "Your Majesty, my sister is dressing up, please wait a moment."

"Get dressed?" Hong Chengchou snorted coldly, "You are just a common girl, how dare you keep me waiting?"

He slammed the table and shouted, "Come here, bring out the bride!"

"Yes!" Several palace maids took the order and left.

Shen Rong was extremely anxious and complained secretly.

My sister is simple by nature. How could she have seen such a scene?

If I were to meet the emperor rashly, I would be so ashamed!
Just at this moment, the sound of light footsteps was heard.

I saw a girl in pink clothes walking out of the courtyard slowly.

She has long black hair like a waterfall, skin as white as cream, and eyebrows and eyes as picturesque as a painting.

That graceful figure is simply more beautiful than any other! (End of this chapter)
