The next day the maid came to report and Shen Nanfeng asked to see him. I pursed my lips and smiled and asked Aunt Rong to take him to the flower hall. I changed into serious clothes and sat behind the screen in the flower hall without meeting him directly. Nan Feng seemed to be shocked by the behavior of a lady like me. After a long while, he clenched his fists and coughed lightly. He stood up and bowed his hands to me and said, "I have finally met the princess."
I adjusted my voice and said calmly: "Although you and I are already engaged, we are not intimate with each other. If something happens, General Shen Shen can write a letter and ask the servant to deliver it. In this way, he can directly enter and leave my princess's mansion. If they see it, they will definitely say that I, Cheng Jinyue, don’t know how to behave, and it doesn’t matter if it ruins my reputation. The Shen family is a scholarly family with a rigorous family tradition..."
"What the Princess said is absolutely true. It was the last general who was rude." Shen Nanfeng bowed to me again politely, stood up and said with a half-smile: "But the Princess is a little biased, and my cousin can do whatever he wants. I came and went as I pleased, and even competed with the princess several times to discuss martial arts, but I didn’t see the princess talking about the great defenses between men and women. Instead, I came here to get more serious. Is it possible to understand that the princess is not interested in the emperor’s gift of marriage? unwilling?"
"Since General Shen Shen keeps mentioning the 'granted marriage', he should know that the emperor Jinkou said that it doesn't matter whether I am happy or not. It is a sure thing anyway." Chunzhu brought tea, and I picked it up and sipped it. With a mouthful, he sneered: "General Shen Shen will always be stationed in the army. You don't know what I, Cheng Jinyue, am like. I definitely don't meet your Shen family's standards for choosing a wife. I'm afraid I can't hide my thoughts about Murong Qingfeng from you. You But you insist on stirring up this muddy water. I don’t know what your intentions are, but if your mind is on the Zhenbei Army, it will definitely be nothing.”
All the generals of the Zhenbei Army have been members of my Cheng family. Although I am the only weak woman left in the Cheng family in my generation, there are many people who are looking at her. Currently, Qian Hu is still the warden of the Zhenbei Army, and he was originally the general of the Zhenbei Army. The matter of my Cheng family general resigning from office and retiring to old age was delayed due to the affairs of the eldest princess Yihe. Outsiders did not know about our plan, which is why Shen Nanfeng proposed in front of the emperor. The emperor looked at it coldly and did not criticize it. Originally, He was worried about my marriage, and now someone came up and took over my hot potato, and he naturally agreed with a smile on his face.
Shen Nanfeng's expression remained unchanged, his eyes stared at the screen with an expression on his face, and he said: "It is right for the princess to be so guarded against me. After all, there are many people who have ideas about the Cheng family army, but I did fall in love with the princess at first sight and then again. That's why I ignored my parents' objections and decided to ask the emperor for marriage."
Young children from aristocratic families will arrange for girls to marry into their houses when they are just fifteen years old. When they are seventeen or eighteen years old, they will form gangs and hang out with outsiders. There are many beautiful family members in the house, so they will never be like the stupid scholar in the play who meets everyone. The girl couldn't walk in front of her, and then fell into lovesickness. She swore not to marry anyone other than Qing. I don't believe what Shen Nanfeng said. Marriage between aristocratic families cannot be based on congeniality. It's just driven by interests. If it wasn't for the Cheng family, The daughter is some other orphan from the Su family, the Wang family, and the Li family. I'm afraid he won't even be able to look at her.
I hummed, "Aren't you afraid that your cousin Murong and I have already had a relationship, and someone points the finger at your spine and calls you a cuckold bastard?"
His expression changed after hearing this, and he returned to his smiling and noble appearance in just a moment. He sat down in the chair next to him and chuckled, "I'm not sure about the princess's character, but I still know my cousin very well. , he is thinking about my sister, so how can he have feelings for the princess? Even if the princess tries her best, I'm afraid she won't be able to get her wish."
I was so angry that I almost burst out of my lungs. It seemed that he had the Holy Spirit in his hands, so he was confident enough not to take me seriously. He really underestimated me, Cheng Jinyue, not to mention whether the marriage was possible or not. Even if it really happened, I am not the kind of little girl who would let him hold it in his hands. I turned my head in the direction of the Beijing Hou Mansion and said proudly: "General Shen Shen was wrong this time. The prince is right about your order." My sister only has a brother-sister relationship but no relationship between a man and a woman. When we went to the lake and went to the lantern festival on the Lantern Festival, he expressed his feelings to me. He learned that General Shen Shen had obtained the emperor's decree of marriage and went to the palace early yesterday morning. I beg the emperor to take back his holy order. Although the emperor has not agreed, there is still a long time before the divorce and marriage. I will think of another way. Moreover, I have already sworn that I will not marry anyone other than the prince. If I can’t think of a way by then, then I will give it a try. Just die on the south wall."
"You..." These words were beyond Shen Nanfeng's expectation. He was trembling with anger, pointed at me with trembling fingers, and said angrily: "You bitch man and woman..."
I rolled up my sleeves and revealed a little bit of Shou Gongsha's forearm from behind the screen. I smiled very happily: "General Shen Shen, please don't talk nonsense and tarnish the reputation of this princess. This princess will run to the queen." It’s like suing you in front of the empress.”
His tone suddenly changed and he said coldly: "Shen Nanfeng, when it comes to marching and fighting, I can kill you with one finger. When it comes to conspiracy, you are even worse. Don't rely on the emperor's favor to know how high the sky is. , although I am just a weak woman, but the emperor wants to give me three points and dares to take my idea, I advise you to retreat in the face of difficulties. If you are pressed, I will kill your entire Shen family without a burial place."
He was stunned for a long time without saying a word, and I yelled: "Qiu Ju, see you off!"
Then he stood up and walked away, walking to his embroidery building. He happened to bump into Qian Hu, who was returning home from the morning. Seeing the angry look on my face, he hurriedly followed me and asked with concern: "What's going on?"
I walked to the small hall, found a chair and sat down. I recounted what Shen Nanfeng had just said. Qian Hu slapped his hand on the table angrily and roared: "This is too much bullying. Who do the Shen family think they are?" To marry my Cheng family is a high achievement for them. Instead of going to the ancestral hall to burn incense to thank our ancestors for their blessings, and yet they dare to come so arrogantly, they simply don’t take our Cheng family seriously!"
"Uncle Qian, don't get excited. You are so angry that you should sit down first." I waved my hand to him to calm down, and said with a smile: "If they didn't take the Cheng family seriously, how could they be so active in looking for it? The emperor granted me a marriage. Listening to Shen Nanfeng's words, he clearly knew that the one I admired in my heart was Murong Qingfeng, but he pretended not to know. For the sake of the power of the Zhenbei Army, he ignored relatives and even snatched his cousin's woman. It is really ridiculous that Shen Shangshu still acts so aloof and arrogant."
Qian Hu looked embarrassed: "Then what should you do? The imperial edict has been issued."
I smiled nonchalantly and said: "Don't worry, I guess the prince will be struggling for a while. When he runs out of skills, I won't have a headache again. I'll take a good rest during this period."
