When Shen Qiu saw the embarrassment of his parents, he laughed out loud. Shen Xin and his wife were feared on the battlefield, but in front of his Younger Sister, they were at a loss. But … Shen Qiu's gaze gradually darkened. A person's temperament would not change so much overnight. Something must have happened for a proud and willful little girl to become so calm and steady.
"Father." Shen Miao suddenly spoke, "After a few days, the Palace will hold a returning banquet."
The returning banquet was for the Shen family's army to defeat the enemy, and the Emperor held a banquet to reward them according to their merits. All the civil and military officials had to bring their families to attend, and it was considered a banquet for the officials of the royal family who were closer to them. At the returning banquet, the Emperor would reward the meritorious officials according to their contributions.
In the previous life, during the returning banquet a few days later, the Emperor wanted to promote Shen Qiu's official position but because of Shen Miao's matter, Shen Xin put up a whole body of meritorious services and got the Emperor to agree to the marriage bestowal and obtained the title of Ding Wangfei from Shen Miao.
A woman asking for a man's hand in marriage was something that was out of line. Shen Xin had dominated his entire life on the battlefield but at the last moment, he did not hesitate to use his merits to beg for his daughter and almost ended up being the laughing stock of the entire court. At that time, Shen Miao was only happy to become Ding Wangfei and did not see Shen Xin's bitter smile.
From the moment she married into the residence of Prince Ding, it meant that the Shen family was tied onto Prince Ding's boat and Fu Xiu Yi had an honorable reason to squeeze the last bit of value out of the Shen family army.
"Yes." Shen Xin smiled and asked, "Is there something that Jiao Jiao wants? Father can help you ask His Majesty for it."
This level of pampering was like a pearl in the palm. Shen Miao's mouth was somewhat dry. Why did she not discover her father's feelings for her in her previous life? Although the destruction of the Shen family was driven by the enemy, it was also because of her stubbornness and blindness.
"I don't have anything I want." Shen Miao smiled gently, "But if His Majesty wants to reward Father …" She paused and when she raised her head again, her eyes were clear and bright. She said, "Father can request from His Majesty to stay in the capital for half a year and accompany me. What do you think? "
When these words were spoken, Luo Xue Yan, Shen Xin and Shen Qiu were all startled.
Shen Miao would never ask them to stay because they were not by their side since they were young and their feelings were not close, so naturally they would not be reluctant. Every year after the end of the year, Shen Xin and wife would leave the capital to defend the Northwest region. Even if there were no enemy troops, they had to guard their territory to prevent foreign enemies from invading. Actually, there was no need for this, but the Emperor still personally appointed him every year. In addition, when the old general was alive, he also had this habit, so he never refuted it.
But Shen Miao was clearly asking them to stay. She was urging Shen Xin and wife to stay and let them set off half a year later. This was somewhat out of line but in Shen Xin and wife's ears, they were wild with joy as at least this meant that Shen Miao did not treat them without any feelings.
"Of course!" Delighted by the change in his daughter's attitude, Shen Xin agreed without even thinking clearly about the problem. Luo Xue Yan was also somewhat excited. Shen Qiu who was at the side curled his lips. He did not want to stay in the Ding capital. To him, there was really nothing interesting in the Ding capital. Those noble family's disciples were not interested, so it would be better to let him fight in the Northwest Desert. But looking at Shen Miao's face, his heart softened. At least with him by her side, it was good that no one in the Ding capital dared to bully Shen Miao.
After speaking a few more words, Shen Xin and wife left with Shen Qiu. After they left, Shen Miao closed the scroll on the table and walked to the window.
"Young Lady." Gu Yu softly said, "Chun Tao had already informed that Eldest Young Lady's stomach is fine. One heard that Second Furen and Second Master are quarreling about Eldest Young Lady's marriage."
