Not only did they not break off the engagement, they also gave her a lot of condolence gifts.
Shen Huairen cursed his mother in his heart.
When Mrs. Shen learned that the engagement had not been broken off, her anxious heart finally settled, "Our Rou'er is a phoenix, and we still can't bear to come to the royal family."
Fetching water from the bamboo basket came to nothing, and Shen Huairen was filled with exhaustion, "What do you know?"
"But Rou'er's innocence is still there."
"The emperor does not agree to break off the engagement at this time, not because he considers the relationship between the prince and Rou'er, but because he is afraid of being criticized by the world."
Mrs. Shen staggered, "What should I do now?" Rou'er was still in a coma. If she knew that the position of the Crown Princess was gone, she would not have the courage to survive.
"The arm cannot twist the thigh, and Rou'er's position cannot be saved. Now we can only hope that the prince will still have feelings for her, and that she will be included in the harem after he ascends the throne. We will take care of the rest slowly."
"How could this happen?" Mrs. Xu's eyes were red, "Rou'er is a phoenix, and He Lu is just an animal."
It's too late to say anything now. As long as he is still the prime minister of the country, the prince must rely on him if he wants to ascend to the throne. Rou'er still has a chance, but it's just not like in the past. If he wants to get ahead, he has to fight for it.
Sure enough, the villain should not be offended by anyone, but he didn't expect him to easily make the heroine fall off the altar.
Slightly lost in thought, his jaw was gently pinched.
Xiao Weijing raised her chin, rubbed her delicate skin with his fingertips, and said in a low voice with a hint of laziness, "Are you afraid of me?"
Shen Ning was forced to look at him, her deep eyes reflecting her delicate facial features, "The prince is joking, you are helping me deal with the Shen family. I am grateful that you are too late."
"It's good to know." Xiao Weijing sneered, "Even He Lu can't deal with her. The title of Shen Roufeng's daughter is really wasted."
"That's because the prince is so powerful. Anyone who encounters you will be in trouble." You flattered him and brushed his hand away.
Xiao Weijing hugged her over and forced her to sit on his lap. His hands on her cheeks became harder and harder, and his eyes showed domineering oppression.
After several struggles, instead of escaping, she encountered something hard. Shen Ning was instantly embarrassed and asked, "What do you want to do, Your Majesty?"
"Don't move." His voice was hoarse and forbearing, and he kept stroking her face with his fingertips, "Your face looks a bit phoenix-like."
Shen Ning was also shameless and rolled her eyes at him, "I think so too. Ever since the prince married me, I've been in trouble."
Xiao Weijing did not refute, but stared at her condescendingly, "Shen Ning."
"Um?"
He opened his mouth and paused, then said after a long while: "How long will it take for my illness to be cured?"
Shen Ning took advantage of his relaxation to get away and sat down half a foot away, "Your Majesty is in strong health and the effect of removing the poison is much better than expected. It doesn't take a year to be completely cured."
"how long?"
Shen Ning thought for a while, "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be this winter."
It's late summer now, and soon it will be autumn, followed by winter.
She must leave?
Xiao Weijing's face was as dark as water, "Speed up the pace of treatment."
In order to get the He Li Shu as soon as possible, Shen Ning chose the best plan, but the prerequisite was that he had strong tolerance. "If it goes any faster, there will be backlash in the body."
No matter how strong he is, side effects cannot be avoided.
"Did you know that the weather is dry, large areas of Mongolian grassland are withering, and there is already a locust plague?"
Shen Ning was surprised that the two countries had been fighting at the border, but the enemy country had never moved south in a big way. Except for repeatedly testing Min's bottom line and worrying about Xiao Weijing returning to the throne, there was also a good harvest in the past two years and grain harvesting.
At present, many prefectures and counties in the Min Dynasty are experiencing drought, and crops in large areas of farmland are unable to ear due to lack of water. It is very likely that production will be reduced on a large scale. If a locust plague breaks out in Mongolia, they will be forced to send troops south to plunder.
War and war are not good news. Xiao Weijing is wearing armor and going into battle, but the people are still facing famine.
It's not that she cares about the villain, but that she has been tied to his boat. She will suffer both prosperity and loss, and she cannot be tolerated in Cao's camp and her heart in Han.
Unfortunately, what she knew about the plot was from the perspective of the male protagonist. It seemed that there were indeed droughts and locust plagues, and there seemed to be a once-in-a-century blizzard. However, the focus of the text was on the male protagonist's romance, and these were briefly mentioned. All she knew was that the front lines suffered heavy losses.
It is said that the front line is covered with bones and bones, but the capital remains blooming with flowers.
The hero and heroine opened a porridge shed to help the people, and won continuous praise from the people.
"What should the prince do if there is a locust plague and the food crop fails?" Shen Ning couldn't help but remind, "Should we stock up on food in advance?"
"You don't eat much, but I can still afford it."
Hey, who is raising whom? Shen Ning gave him a free look and said, "The northern border is the prince's fiefdom. If the people and soldiers starve to death, wouldn't the prince become a toothless tiger?"
"Are you worried about me?"
"No, we are wearing the same pants now."
This seems a bit strange, "We are in the same boat. I hope that the prince will be unscathed."
The imperial court has been making a fuss about food and grass during the good harvest years. If there is a famine, it will be impossible to care about the life and death of the northern border. Now that the villain threatens the male protagonist, it is best not to take the opportunity to strangle him by the throat.
Xiao Weijing glanced at her, "Is there anything you can do?"
"Let's secretly stock up. Anyway, the ice shop makes a lot of money, and the dim sum shop that just opened is also doing good business." As long as the capital stabilizes, it will surely bloom everywhere.
Unfortunately, time is too tight, and the Northern Territory Army numbers hundreds of thousands, which is not easy to maintain.
Due to the interruption of supplies to the court, this battle severely damaged Xiao Weijing's vitality, and he lost his troops and generals to defend the city. It took him several years to recover.
At that time, the male protagonist also lamented that the villain was fatal, which shows that this battle was extremely tragic.
Shen Ning felt that it was strange that there was no handwriting from the protagonist group.
Even though his lips were dying and his teeth were cold, it was still necessary to remind him, "Your Majesty, when the locust plague passes by, no grass will grow, and the drought will make the vegetation wither, and there may be a snow disaster."
"When did you become a semi-immortal?"
"Haha, it's better to be prepared for any trouble. I've always had a bad mouth."
Penetrating and sharp eyes stared straight at her. Shen Ning didn't like this feeling, so she stared back hard.
Xiao Weijing laughed and handed over the fresh account book, "Is this last month's profit, or do you want gold bars?"
Shen Ning looked through it carefully and found that several more branches had indeed been opened and the profits were extremely considerable. After reading it twice, there was no suspicion of falsifying the accounts.
She stared at the amount of the share, raised her head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I will lend you my profits for emergencies. Is it okay for you to pay me back double next year?"
It is true that the ice shop makes money, but its operating time is too short. Even if the family business of the Jin Palace is added, it will not be able to support hundreds of thousands of mouths in the north.
She would never be able to spend all the dowry in her lifetime, not to mention the royal uncle's share of the glass and the previous ten thousand taels of gold. Furthermore, the emperor's uncle had decided to build a glass greenhouse to grow vegetables.
Therefore, the share here is not very attractive to her, so it is better to transfer it to him to increase the chance of winning, which may trigger a butterfly effect.
"Can."
Xiao Weijing has secretly made preparations for possible disasters. Although the time is tight and the tasks are heavy, he has not thought about her sharing.
But if she is willing to give it, does it mean that she already has him in her heart and hopes that he can return safely?
