Chapter 1167: Forced to Sacrifice
After sitting down, the emperor didn't say much, and said directly: "Most of you are the children of the powerful clans, and there are also the children of high-ranking officials and ministers in the court. β
"Yesβ" The people below replied in unison. This is a great event of great honor, and everyone who comes is proud of it.
Shen Nanzhi gently skimmed everyone's expressions, all of them looked like they were bound to win, only Shen Jiading sat in the position with his head bowed heavily, his hands clenched to death, just when Shen Nanzhi was puzzled, he saw Shen Jiading standing up with a calm face, and walked firmly to the center, completely ignoring Concubine An's gradually distorted expression, he knelt in front of the emperor with a "poof", and said loudly: "Your Majesty! This time praying for the country is a god-given glory, the ministers dare not have the slightest perfunctory and casual, here is also cheeky to ask the royal brother for a grace! β
Concubine An's eyes were about to pop out, and her expression was extremely solemn, but the emperor didn't notice her, he only felt that it was new, so he laughed and asked: "You disciple, you are the only one who dared to ask me like this last time!" Tell me, what kind of grace do you want? β
"The younger brother asks the emperor to give the younger brother a marriage after praying for blessings! Chanting for blessings, blessings gather, and the ministers also want to ask for a lottery......"
"Hahaha-you swinger also want to get married?" The emperor immediately laughed, "I agreed, I just don't know which girl you have a crush on?" β
Shen Jiading's gaze looked in the direction of Shen Nanzhi.
Shen Nanzhi can't wait to find a gap to get into at this moment! Concubine An's expression above was distorted, staring at Shen Nanzhi deadly, while Wang Qianqian on the side was even more incredulous.
God knows how much she doesn't want Shen Jiading to speak! But he could only watch Shen Jiading gently open his lips: "If you return to the emperor's words, it is ......"
"Little Lord An, the blessing has not yet begun, and I am afraid that it is a little early for you to ask for this grace." It was too late, it was too late, Lu Yunqi spoke in time and directly interrupted Shen Jiading's words, and for a while, everyone's eyes were attracted to him, "The blessing has not yet been completed, and there is still more than a month to go, you asked for grace so early, does the emperor give it, or hang it?" It's better to wait for a month and ask the emperor again, and then there will be joy and joy. You can also thank you sincerely and sincerely when praying for blessings this month, I think the integrity of the little prince will be able to move the heavens! β
Shen Nanzhi closed his eyes deeply and exhaled.
Just now, her heart was almost jumping out, if it weren't for Lu Yunqi to speak in time, I was afraid that Shen Jiading would really ask for it, but she would be unblessed.
Not only Shen Nanzhi, but also Wang Qianqian and Princess An were also relieved, Wang Qianqian smiled and replied respectfully: "What Lord Lu said is extremely true! Why does Little Prince An have to be in a hurry? When the time comes, say it together and the emperor will reward it together, that is a great joy! β
Concubine An on the side nodded, still feeling scared in her heart: "Yes, the elder of the King Pavilion will also come to observe ......."
That's not the end of it. Concubine An intends to marry Wang Qianqian and Shen Jiading, and the emperor has naturally heard a little, and now when he sees the reply, Shen Jiading seems to be looking at Wang Qianqian, and Wang Qianqian said such a thing again, and Concubine An even mentioned Wang Ge Lao, and the emperor naturally "knows".
So he chuckled and waved his hand: "What Lu Aiqing said is extremely true!" Why does the emperor's brother need to discuss with me in this matter? When the prayer ceremony on April 15 is over, I will reward you with this grace! β
The emperor said so, and Shen Jiading knew that there was no room for detours, so he had to hang his head to hide the loneliness on his face: "Yes...... Brother Chen, thank you for the fulfillment of the royal brother......"
β¦β¦
The palace maids and eunuchs sent up today's food, all kinds of delicacies were dazzling, while everyone was amazed by the food in front of them, Wang Qianqian glanced at Shen Nanzhi beside her faintly, the corners of her lips inadvertently hooked a weird smile, she got up directly, and said to the emperor who was high above: "Your Majesty, in fact, today's courtiers met the four girls of the Shen family!" She said that she is willing to pray for the blessing of the country, and today she will first present a big gift to the emperor! β
Shen Nanzhi was slightly stunned, looked up at Wang Qianqian, and saw that she was looking at herself triumphantly and defiantly. Meng Xian, who was sitting next to her, reached out and gently pulled her, a little more worried in her movements.
"Oh?" The emperor was quite interested, "I remember her, that sharp-toothed little girl." β
In Wang Qianqian's gloating expression, Shen Nanzhi reached out and stroked her sleeves, smoothed the wrinkles on it, and also calmed her mind, she got up quietly, walked to the middle of the hall unhurriedly, and bowed to the emperor Yingying with a thoughtful number of courtesies: "Courtier Shen Nanzhi see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!" β
The person sitting on the top frowned, "You said you want to give a gift, where is the gift?" β
Everyone looked at her, only to see that the white and tender face was covered with a beautiful and soft arc, revealing a slender and elegant neck, and a pair of eyes looked very large, dark and quiet, so that the eyes were clear and agile at this time, and they did not seem to be flustered at all. She knelt down lightly, lowered her head and said in a loud voice: "The courtiers congratulate the emperor on behalf of the Shen Mansion." I wish the emperor a long blessing, and the will of heaven will add blessings to the future; Second, I hope that the emperor is in good health, and people are like Songling Wangukang; Three wishes that the emperor will smile, and the jade tree will show the atrium; Four Wishes...... Nine wishes Dayu Society to be solid, unify the country, and be young for ten thousand years. β
Sprinkled with a piece, nine sentences and eighteen couplets before and after, Shen Nanzhi said that he was neither humble nor arrogant, and his five bodies were thrown to the ground, even after listening to the Son of Heaven, his expression couldn't help but exclaim, Shen Nanzhi kowtowed deeply after speaking, and the emperor came back to his senses and said with a smile: "You little girl, a deep boudoir woman has such a talent?" Your gift...... It's ingenious! β
Shen Nanzhi was not arrogant, only smiled modestly, and said sincerely: "The whole world is the emperor, no matter what the courtiers come up with, it is not considered their sincerity, and after thinking about it, only the courtiers' sincerity is flawless." β
"Good! I love your gift! Come on, reward! The emperor was overjoyed.
Shen Nanzhi bowed deeply again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" When she fell to the ground, she couldn't help but exhale - fortunately, she had thought of such a statement for Shi's birthday, and now she took it directly and used it by changing some words......
It's just that she didn't rush to get up, she knelt on the ground and raised her head slightly, and said with a sincere smile: "Your Majesty, the courtiers are just throwing bricks and leading the way, where is the opponent of all the people in terms of talent and learning?" Like what...... Sister Wang has a better gift to offer to the emperor! β
