Chapter 147 The Emperor Grants Marriage, Prince Lu Protects His Wife Dominantly

The emperor was also a little surprised. After all, Shen Qing, the second daughter of He Li, was far from being worthy of the prince of Jing'an Palace.

So the emperor asked: "Marriage is a serious matter, not a joke. Are you sure you want to marry Miss Shen?"

Lu Yan nodded seriously, his voice full of determination, "Yes. Although Lu Yan and Miss Shen have only met a few times, he can see that Miss Shen is both talented and beautiful, gentle and kind, and is a good girl that is hard to find in Shengjing City. The son of Yangling Marquis Mansion does not know a pearl, but Lu Yan's eyes are bright. Such an elegant and gentle woman will definitely be sought after after leaving the palace. Lu Yan is afraid of losing the opportunity, so he can only get married before those talented men. Please agree, Your Majesty."

Mu Ziqian was surprised. Shen Qing, the domineering and unruly vicious woman, was so beautiful in Lu Yan's eyes. Lu Yan...is he really blind?

Shen Yian's eyes were slightly red. He could tell from Lu Yan's expression and words that Lu Yan liked and cherished Shen Qing from the bottom of his heart.

Even Chu Lingxi, who had just suffered a great loss from Shen Qing, couldn't help but feel that Lu Yan was really discerning. Although he didn't get along with Shen Qing, he had to admit that Shen Qing was really excellent. She had a family background, beauty, and wisdom. She was definitely a hot candidate for marriage in Shengjing.

Hearing Lu Yan's words, the emperor cast his eyes on King Jing'an and Marquis Yining. The elders of both parties were present, and he had to listen to the opinions of both parties.

Lu Tingyu spoke first: "I believe in Ayan's vision. What he chooses is naturally excellent. Last night, I also saw with my own eyes how smart and decisive Miss Shen was when she overturned her father's case. It would be lucky for Ayan to marry such a brave and resourceful woman."

Shen Yian didn't expect that King Jing'an would have such a high evaluation of Shen Qing, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable. "I and Lu Shizi are friends regardless of age. Lu Shizi is gentle and elegant, and he is thoughtful and knows how to advance and retreat. He is undoubtedly an excellent candidate for a husband. Therefore, I am also happy to see this marriage."

Mu Ziqian's expression has changed from surprise at the beginning to suspicion now. Why does Shen Qing look so dazzling in everyone's eyes? Did Shen Qing blind everyone's eyes?

For the first time in his life, Mu Ziqian doubted himself. Was the Shen Qing he saw before really the real Shen Qing?

Seeing that everyone agreed, the emperor also agreed to the marriage and drafted an imperial decree to grant the marriage on the spot.

After a moment, looking at the imperial edict with the seal in his hand, Lu Yan changed his usual calm image, and the corners of his mouth kept moving closer to his ears.

With this imperial edict, he was Shen Qing's fiancé, and from now on he could meet Shen Qing openly and no longer have to sneak around.

Thinking of this, Lu Yan's already upturned corners of his mouth lifted up even more, which made Mu Ziqian feel a little irritated. Is marrying Shen Qing really such a happy thing?

At this point, the matter was basically resolved, and the emperor sent everyone out, and he could finally have some peace and quiet.

Outside the imperial study, looking at Mu Ziqian with a complicated expression, Chu Lingxi stepped forward and sprinkled salt with gloating, "What? So depressed, regret it?"

Mu Ziqian suddenly came back to his senses, subconsciously glanced at Shen Qing, pretending to be arrogant: "What can a vicious and arrogant woman regret?"

Chu Lingxi rolled his eyes at him with disdain, took two quick steps to distance himself, and left a word "idiot" before leaving, which made Mu Ziqian fall into deep suspicion again.

Lu Tingyu and Shen Yian walked side by side, constantly communicating something in their mouths, and Xie Ling followed behind, occasionally interrupting a few words, as if discussing an auspicious wedding date.

Lu Yan and Shen Qing walked side by side. Although the distance between the two was still enough for one person to pass, they were visibly closer.

Holding the imperial edict of marriage in his arms like a treasure, Lu Yan said with emotion: "Jiaojiao, we can finally walk together openly."

Shen Qing nodded, with a gentle smile in his eyes.

The warmth lasted only a few seconds, and Chu Lingxi chased after him from behind, and said with gritted teeth: "Shen Qing, where did you hide Yu Yu?"

Shen Qing did not stop, did not turn his head, and said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone, "At this point, shouldn't Your Highness be more worried about how to explain to Concubine Shu and Prime Minister Gu?"

Chu Lingxi's face sank, "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to tell me where Yu Yu is."

Shen Qing's lips curled slightly, "Why should I tell you?"

Chu Lingxi was so angry at Shen Qing's attitude that he gritted his teeth, but in the end he chose to endure it temporarily. After all, Shen Qing is now one of the few people who knows the whereabouts of Shen Shuyu.

"I promise you, I just want to see her, I won't pester you."

Shen Qing said "Oh" perfunctorily, which made Chu Lingxi's throat choke again, but he still didn't forget to ask: "Is it Yuncheng? Speak up!"

Seeing that Shen Qing didn't bother to pay attention to him, Chu Lingxi's tone slightly increased. The next moment, he heard Lu Yan's slightly gloomy voice, "Why are you so fierce?"

Chu Lingxi was stunned. Just when he wanted to explain that he didn't, he heard Lu Yan's voice again: "My fiancée is timid. If you scare her, I will never let you go!"

The three words "fiancée" were particularly emphasized, as if he was afraid that Chu Lingxi didn't know that he and Shen Qing were granted marriage.

Chu Lingxi was still thinking about Lu Yan's ridiculous comment that Shen Qing was "cowardly". Shen Qing was cowardly? Cowardly enough to come to his territory alone and scold him? Cowardly enough to almost wipe out his forces? Cowardly enough to empty the Yangling Marquisate in front of his father without any effort?

At this moment, Chu Lingxi had the same idea as Mu Ziqian just now -

Could Lu Yan be blind?

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shen Qing is more difficult to mess with than him, right?

But Lu Yan was not ready to let Chu Lingxi go, and deliberately poked Chu Lingxi's heart. There was a bit of obvious ridicule in his nice voice: "With the temper of His Royal Highness Duan, it's no wonder that Miss Shen II wants to stay away from you."

What's wrong with his temper?

Chu Lingxi's face turned red with anger, and he wanted to curse "Lu Yan, have you just been bitten by a mad dog?" In the end, he held back.

The status of Jing'an Palace is very special. Although Lu Yan is only a prince, his status and weight in the heart of the emperor are higher than his.

A little away from the god's room, Shen Qing and Lu Yan have fallen behind him for a short distance. Chu Lingxi wanted to catch up, but was stopped by the palace maid who suddenly appeared, "Your Highness, the Queen invites you to Lingyun Palace."

Hearing this, Chu Lingxi's face sank instantly. Obviously, he had guessed the intention of Concubine Shu to find him. Although he was a little resistant in his heart, he still followed the palace maid towards the direction of the harem.

On the other side, Shen Qing and Lu Yan left the palace gate. After waiting for a while, Shen Yian and the other two came over.

Marriage is complicated, and Shen Qing and Lu Yan are the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion and the prince of the Wang Mansion, so there are more and more things that need to be prepared in advance.

As for Shen Qing's second marriage, no one mentioned it, and no one cared.

After a brief discussion, they made a decision: split into two groups, Shen Yian and the other two returned to Yining Marquis' Mansion to finalize the marriage, while Shen Qing and Lu Yan went to Yangling Marquis' Mansion to collect the dowry and the money owed by the Mu family.

After sending Shen Qing to the carriage, Lu Yan turned around and got on the carriage. He fumbled under the cushion for a few times and took out a small box.

As soon as it was opened, the full banknotes overflowed.
