These words were said to smooth things over but unfortunately Luo Xue Yan and Shen Miao did not continue Consort Dong Shu's words.
Consort Dong Shu's heart was somewhat surprised. Previously when Shen Miao was infatuated with Fu Xiu Yi, Consort Dong Shu thought that Shen Miao was a brainless idiot female but after looking at it, she felt that it was not the case. One felt that Shen Miao was after all somewhat intelligent and was able to distinguish between what was important and what was not. Who knew that after seeing them today, they were indeed the biological daughter of Luo Xue Yan. Both mother and daughter were equally unruly and unruly, unmoved by force or persuasion.
The Empress also did not seem to be used to deliberately getting close to others, especially when the other party's attitude was not warm. But today she only wanted to break in in advance, and let the Shen family be prepared. Actually the Empress did not care what the Shen family's attitude was. No matter how courageous Shen Xin was or how much he loved his daughter, it was impossible for him to defy the edict. The arm was no match for the thigh. Under imperial power, everyone had to lower their heads.
Thus after a lukewarm chat, he let Luo Xue Yan and Shen Miao go back.
On the way back, Luo Xue Yan did not say a word. Shen Miao was also thinking about her own matters and this kind of silent atmosphere scared Jing Zhe and Gu Yu as they thought that something had happened.
Upon returning to the Shen mansion, Shen Qiu and Luo Ling had just returned from the Ministry of War and asked the Empress why did she summon them to the Palace. Luo Xue Yan vaguely responded and pulled Shen Xin back to the room.
Once they entered the room, Luo Xue Yan told Shen Xin what the Empress had said to her in the Palace today. At the end, she asked, "I see that the Empress' intention is to appoint a marriage for Jiao Jiao. What should be done?"
Shen Xin's face had long sunk as he said, "Arranged marriage? Why should my daughter marry them? Jiaojiao has been raised by us. What right do others have to give advice on Jiaojiao's marriage? "
"I'm guessing that the Empress wants Jiao Jiao to marry the Crown Prince." Luo Xue Yan said, "Today, both openly and secretly, she mentioned that the Crown Prince's health has improved and mentioned it several times. This was unacceptable. The Crown Prince already had a Crown Princess. If Jiao Jiao married over, she would at most be a side concubine. A side concubine was just a concubine with a slightly higher status. I didn't want Jiao Jiao to have to serve tea and greet other women after marrying over. Thinking of this, my heart felt suffocated. Besides, so what if the Crown Prince has a high status and a good character? With his body, I don't dare to hand Jiao Jiao over to him. "
"No matter which prince it is, Jiaojiao cannot marry!" The foul air in Shen Xin's chest was unable to be released and he simply slammed his fist on the table, causing the cup to shake a little.
"You are afraid that if Jiao Jiao marries over, our entire Shen family will be involved in the fight for the throne?" Luo Xue Yan said, "That's right. In these days, these people have ulterior motives and once they are involved with the Imperial family, the Shen family would not be able to escape in the future."
"That's not the reason." Shen Xin gave a long sigh, "The sons of the Imperial family are fickle and have many wives and concubines. If Jiao Jiao were to marry in, she would not be happy. Even if the Crown Prince becomes the Emperor in the future, so what? Even if his body is healthy, so what? Three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, rain and dew all over, I don't want Jiao Jiao to live that kind of life. Moreover, as you said, they don't really want to marry Jiaojiao. My son-in-law does not need to be bestowed the title of Prince or Minister, and does not need to wear brocade hat and marten coat, but he must treat Jiao Jiao wholeheartedly. If he cannot do this, then even the Heavenly King would not do! "
When Shen Miao, who was eavesdropping outside the door, heard this sentence, there was a sudden surge of warmth in her heart. In this world, there were still relatives who would support her unconditionally. They were willing to offend the nobles but were not willing to let her suffer a little grievance.
One heard Luo Xue Yan speaking again, "That's right. Since that is the case, Jiao Jiao must not marry into the Eastern Palace. It is just that when the Imperial edict comes down, things would be bad. What should be done now? "
