Chapter 54 Not fighting doesn’t mean you’re afraid!
"It's up to human beings?"
Shen Tangan looked at her in surprise and looked her up and down carefully. He always felt that she was a little unusual, but he couldn't tell exactly what the difference was.
"Miss, there is an imperial decree. The Marquis and his wife ask you to go to the front hall to receive it."
Just as the two were in a stalemate, the nanny beside Lin hurried over to report.
When Shen Qingwan heard this, a look of joy suddenly appeared on her face. Could it be an imperial decree to cancel the engagement?
Sure enough, Shen Tangan was no match for her after all, and the position of Crown Princess could only be hers!
"Sister, I'll go with you."
Shen Tangan saw through her thoughts at a glance, but still smiled and nodded.
"it is good."
She had no intention of marrying the Crown Prince, and if His Majesty agreed to cancel the engagement, it would be just what she wanted. As for whether Shen Qingwan could succeed her as the Crown Princess, she didn't know.
It stands to reason that it would be difficult for her to match into the royal family given her family background, but the prince loves her sincerely and may be able to win her over.
When the two of them walked to the front hall, Shen Jiyuan and Lin had already arrived, waiting for the protagonist to come and receive the order.
"Why are you so slow?"
When Shen Jiyuan saw her, he lowered his voice and scolded her, but because the chief eunuch was beside her, he did not dare to ask too much and motioned for her to come forward and receive his orders.
Shen Tangan pretended not to hear, walked to the center, knelt down and raised his hands above his head.
The chief eunuch then began to announce the decree: "Shen Tang'an, the legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquis, is dignified, virtuous, intelligent, humble and docile. She is hereby canonized as the Princess of Yong'an! A reward of 1,000 taels of gold and silver!"
When the imperial edict came out, Shen Qingwan looked up in shock, it turned out to be not an imperial edict to cancel the engagement.
Why! ?
Why did Your Majesty confer the title of Princess on her?
Didn’t the prince promise her that he would ask His Majesty to cancel the engagement and enthrone her as the Crown Princess?
How did all this change?
"Your Majesty, I thank you! Long live Your Majesty!"
Shen Tangan was not too surprised, as she had known about this matter in advance, but no one dared to spread it without the imperial decree.
Now that the imperial edict has been issued, she is the legitimate princess!
"Please get up quickly, my lady."
The chief eunuch came forward with a smile and helped her up personally.
"I have already ordered the reward from His Majesty to be carried to the Marquis's residence. From today on, the status of the princess will be greatly changed."
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Shen Tangan nodded and smiled, then glanced at Yunzhu beside him.
Yunzhu immediately stepped forward with great foresight and supported the eunuch in charge.
"Father-in-law, you have worked hard. Please sit down and have a cup of tea!"
As he spoke, he handed over a bag of melon seeds hidden in his sleeve.
The chief eunuch accepted it silently, his smile widened, and he bowed to Shen Jiyuan and Lin.
"I have something else to do, so I won't stay here for long. The Marquis and his wife have really raised a sensible and good daughter. Good days are ahead of her!"
"Thank you, father-in-law."
Shen Jiyuan came back to his senses from his shock, and hurriedly walked forward with a smile, personally escorting the steward to the door.
Lin looked at her daughter in surprise and still couldn't believe it.
"You... His Majesty actually appointed you as a princess? What on earth is going on?"
She had been recuperating at home these days and had never asked about what was happening outside the house, so naturally she didn't know what had happened to her daughter.
She was really shocked that her daughter was suddenly canonized as a princess. After not seeing her daughter for a few days, her daughter's value increased significantly.
"Don't worry, mother. Your daughter has never caused any trouble outside."
Shen Tangan put his arm around his mother and said with a smile.
Knowing that my mother cares about me is a blessing from heaven after all.
Lin frowned slightly and wanted to say something else, but seeing that she didn't look surprised, he knew that she probably knew about this for a long time.
Thinking of the letter I received from my sister a few days ago, which said that An'er would have happy events in a few days, I think she was referring to today's event.
Her daughter is grown up, so it is not easy for her to follow her all the time. As long as she knows what is going on and everything is safe and smooth, she will not ask any other questions.
"This...what the hell is going on?"
After seeing the butler off, Shen Jiyuan hurried into the room, rushed to her, and asked in shock.
His daughter was conferred the title of princess?
It's like smoke is coming out of our ancestral graves!
But she is good for nothing and has never done anything beneficial to the country. Why was she suddenly named a princess? Is there any misunderstanding?
"Why did His Majesty suddenly confer the title on my sister? Is there any misunderstanding?"
Shen Qingwan stood up, walked behind Shen Jiyuan, and provoked him unwillingly.
She thought it was an imperial decree to break off the engagement, but who would have thought it was an imperial decree to enthrone her as a princess, which really surprised her.
Has His Majesty decided that she will be the Crown Princess?
What is so special about her!
Why did Your Majesty choose her?
"Yes! What ability do you have to make His Majesty enthrone you as a princess?"
Shen Jiyuan was also full of doubts. Could it be that His Majesty had made a mistake?
"Father, don't worry about this matter. Your Majesty has his own intentions. With the imperial edict in hand, what is there for father to doubt?"
Shen Tangan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, holding up the imperial edict in his hand. They were so bold that they even dared to doubt His Majesty.
"We are not doubting Your Majesty, but you."
Shen Qingwan was still unwilling to accept it. She hoped that all this was false and that the imperial edict was to appoint her as the Crown Princess.
Unfortunately, reality shattered her fantasy, and Shen Tangan crushed her to the point of being useless.
"If you have any doubts, please go and ask His Majesty for confirmation."
Shen Tangan was too lazy to prove himself to them, so he took the imperial edict and helped his mother leave.
She had more important matters to discuss with her mother and didn't want to waste time here.
On the way back, Shen Tangan thought for a long time and asked casually.
"Mother, how did you and father meet?"
"Why do you bring this up?"
When Lin heard this, she frowned unhappily, and seemed unwilling to mention anything about Shen Jiyuan.
"I wonder if my mother would get sick from anger if my father took another concubine."
"No, even if he pays ten more, it has nothing to do with me."
As soon as Shen Tangan finished speaking, she answered decisively without any hesitation, which showed that she had no attachment to this relationship.
"Mother, do you want to take back the housekeeping power? The inner house of the Marquis's mansion is now controlled by Zheng. Almost everyone inside and outside is her people. It is very inconvenient for my daughter to go in and out."
Seeing his mother so determined, he no longer concealed his true thoughts.
She knew very well that her mother was a person who could not tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes. Ever since her father brought Zheng into the house, her mother had never given him a good look and was extremely disappointed in him.
"If you need it, mother will take it back. But I don't want the power of a housekeeper. If she dares to use chicken feathers as a token to embarrass my daughter, I will teach her a lesson and let her know who is the boss of this mansion!"
When Lin heard this, her usually gentle face turned cold, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
In the past, she spared Zheng's life because she cared about An'er's thoughts and did not think that keeping her alive would pose a threat to herself.
It’s different now. If she dares to use that little power to deal with An’er, don’t blame her for using drastic measures!
Do you really think that you can be the mistress of this mansion just because you have been in charge of the inner palace for two years?
Just because she was unwilling to compete for such power with such a lowly thing, it didn't mean she was really afraid!
