The news that the Empress suddenly revealed made the Shen family fall into an anxious situation. There was no doubt that Shen Xin and wife were not willing for Shen Miao to marry into the Imperial family. The most ruthless Imperial family, other than many political considerations, it was also because of the complexity of the Imperial family's inner courtyard. If Shen Miao were to marry in, there would be intrigue and it would not be easy. Compared to this, glory, splendor, wealth, and supreme honor were not worth it.
Shen Xin had the intention to marry Shen Miao out before the Imperial edict. Originally before entering the Palace, because of Su Furen's matter, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan had discussed to start paying attention to Shen Miao's lifelong matter. Luo Xue Yan even ordered the servants to specially make a booklet and on it were all the young talents in the Ding capital. The booklet recorded in detail these people's character, where they lived, how many people were in the house and how many places were in their hometown. Luo Xue Yan also beat around the bush to inquire about Shen Miao's intentions and when she heard that Shen Miao did not mind this way of looking at her husband, she was relieved and really intended to help Shen Miao look for a match.
The Shen family held great power in the Ding capital and was a very special existence in Emperor Wen Hui's eyes, thus it was not easy to casually pick the family. Shen Xin did not even consider those officials who already had monstrous power because it was to prevent Emperor Wen Hui from thinking that they were deliberately forming an alliance. Thus Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin picked those families that were above average, did not have any ambition and were upright and upright aristocratic families. Shen Qiu was a forthright person and had a group of good brothers in the Ministry of War that could help him to inquire about these people's character in private.
Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan had such plans for Shen Miao but it was out of their expectations that whenever Shen Xin revealed a little bit of intention to marry, the other party would smile and decline. It was either that their son was already engaged or that they were not in a hurry to marry a wife. Shen Xin had a violent temper and also loved Shen Miao in his palms. Others did not fancy Shen Miao but Shen Xin also did not fancy others, thus he would brush his sleeves and leave.
But in the end, it was always this kind of situation. Those talented youths that they had taken a liking to with great difficulty would all find excuses to decline. One or two of them would be a coincidence, but if there were too many, it would make people feel that something was wrong. Shen Xin also sensed that something was not right and it was a military general who was on good terms with Shen Xin who told him that the current court officials knew that the Imperial family had the intention to introduce Shen Miao to the current His Highness the Son of Heaven. Shen Xin was looking for in-laws for Shen Miao but who would dare to fight for a woman for the Imperial family? By marrying over, Shen Miao would escape the fate of marrying into the Eastern Palace but it would also make the Imperial family unhappy with Shen Miao's in-laws.
It was all for self-protection. Even if the Shen family had a big business and Shen Miao was intelligent and steady, no one would dare to marry her.
When Shen Xin heard of the news in the residence, he immediately flew into a rage and said that he originally saw that those noble families did not associate with the secular world, but did not expect that they were all cowards. It was fortunate that Shen Miao was not married to them, otherwise how would they be able to support Shen Miao in the future?
When Shen Miao heard the information that Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang inquired, she only smiled faintly.
Jing Zhe anxiously said, "Why is Young Lady not anxious? Now Furen and Master are extremely anxious and if this goes on, even if the Imperial edict was not sent down, they would not be able to find a suitable person. "
"The Fu family are not fools." Shen Miao picked up the hot tea on the table and took a sip, "How would one not know what Father and Mother are planning."
Shen Miao knew from the beginning that Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan's method would not work. As for how the news of her marrying the Crown Prince was spread out, needless to say, it was naturally the Imperial family's doing. The Imperial family practically announced to the world that Shen Miao was the person that they fancied. How would the officials of Ming Qi dare to openly go against the Imperial family to snatch a person, thus Shen Xin and wife's plan to let Shen Miao marry out as soon as possible was destined to fail.
