Double Life: The Long Road to Chasing Your Wife

"The Queen Mother, I have an idea. I wonder if you want to hear it."

The Queen Mother was a little impatient.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say. Let's see what the Aijia can do."

"The Queen Mother, please grant marriage to the prince and Miss Shi."

The Queen Mother quickly shook her head when she heard this.

"No, it's not like the Aijia and the emperor have never offered marriage in recent years. Jing'er rejected them all and almost fell out with the Aijia and the emperor."

"Don't be anxious, Queen Mother, please listen to my explanation."

The Queen Mother sat upright and listened carefully to Achang's words.

"Because the prince you and the emperor proposed to marry before did not like it. This time is different. Miss Shi is the person that the prince likes. This time he will definitely be willing."

The Queen Mother thought about it carefully and felt that what Achang said made sense.

So he ordered the palace servants to tell the emperor. After understanding the whole story, the emperor had someone study the ink and write down the imperial edict granting the marriage. After the morning court the next day, he and Shi Jingke were sent to the Shi Mansion.

The next day, Shi Jingke went to the morning court. The palace officials along the way greeted him very warmly, which made Shi Jingke feel flattered.

Later he learned that everyone in the palace knew that the emperor had granted a marriage to his daughter Shi Ying to marry Prince Xian as his concubine.

When the eunuch who announced the decree followed him back, he never thought it would be so soon. He was even wondering, didn't King Xian not know the identities of Mrs. Shi and the other three?Why did the decree granting marriage come the next day?

Before Mrs. Shi could even go out to find a matchmaker, the imperial edict was delivered to the Shi family.

The eunuch took out the imperial edict and stood in the Shi family's courtyard to read it.

"Follow the sky to carry the goods, the emperor decreed:

I heard that Shi Ying, the daughter of Shi Jingke, the sixth-rank court official, is skillful, generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. The Queen Mother and I are very pleased to hear this.

The current emperor's younger brother, Prince Xian, and his former princess have been dead for many years. When the time comes for marriage, he should choose a virtuous woman as his wife.

However, Shi Ying is waiting in the boudoir, and you and King Xian are a match made in heaven and earth. In order to become a beautiful woman, I specially betroth you to King Xian as the princess, and you will be married in three days.

All the etiquette will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian to take care of it together, and a good day will be chosen for the wedding.

Announcement at home and abroad, salty to hear it.

This is it. "

The eunuch's imperial edict was unified.

"Congratulations, Master Shi."

No matter how unhappy Mrs. Shi was, she still knew etiquette and asked Mother Xia to take some broken silver.

"Father, your little care is disrespectful. You can take it and have a drink with all the father-in-laws. Thank you for your hard work!"

The eunuch took the purse from Mrs. Shi, weighed it, and then smiled with satisfaction.

"Mrs. Shi, you're welcome. You will be King Xian's mother-in-law in the future. Our family is here to congratulate you."

After the eunuch finished speaking, boxes of gold, silver and jewels were brought up from behind. Inside were the rewards given to Shi Ying by the emperor and the queen mother. They would be taken to Prince Xian's palace as Shi Ying's dowry three days later.

Soon, people from the Ministry of Etiquette brought things to Shi Ying's house to dress up, and the Queen Mother even sent a nun from the palace to teach Shi Ying the rules.

Mrs. Shi also sent someone to inform Lin Shu that she would go to Shi's house three days later to see Shi Ying out.

Lin Shu felt very uncomfortable when she heard the news, because she was afraid that Shi Ying would live like her previous life when she married into the Hou Mansion. Perhaps she should have thought that King Xian was not an ordinary person, so how could he not know their true identity.

Now the only thing Lin Shu could do, apart from helping Shi Ying add some dowry, was to pray that Shi Ying would have a better life in the palace in the future.

Three days passed quickly. After being trained by the nuns in the palace, Shi Ying seemed to be a completely different person. She looked more dignified and elegant from a distance.

Lin Shu didn't have time to talk to Shi Ying and watched Shi Ying get on the sedan chair.

A lot of people gathered at the door of Shi's house, because King Xian came to welcome the bride in person, which showed that he valued the bride, and the people wanted to see King Xian's grace.

The wedding of Shi Ying and King Xian was bigger and more lively than Xiao Yan's wedding three months ago. After sending Shi Ying away, Lin Shu, as a member of her family, could not go to the palace to watch the ceremony.

As a Marquis, Xiao Yan was a guest of Prince Xian's Mansion, and he never went to Shi's house. In this way, the two missed an opportunity to meet. Xiao Yan still didn't know that Lin Shu was married.

Xiao Yan watched Shi Ying visit the court with King Xian, thinking that in his previous life, because King Xian did not have an important position in the court, Shi Ying had an inexplicable hostility towards him, and Mrs. Hou was strict with Lin Shu, so he and Prince Xian doesn't move around much, and only sends people to deliver some gifts during the holidays.

For unknown reasons in this life, Shi Ying first got married to King Xian. Later, when Lin Shu entered the Marquis Mansion, she tried to find a way to make Lin Shu his equal wife and improve her relationship with King Xian.

After all, both the current Queen Mother and the Emperor, the future Emperor, and the current Crown Prince are very kind to King Xian.

Three months after getting married, the Hou Mansion was in chaos. Xiao Yan felt very regretful and missed Lin Shu and the food Lin Shu had prepared for him.

When Xiao Yan returned to the Hou Mansion, he happened to encounter Lin Shu and Su Yi's carriage on the street.

"Master Marquis, there is a carriage blocking the road ahead. Should we wait for them to leave first, or should we go over first?" Wang Xiaowu asked Xiao Yan in the carriage.

"Master, there is a big carriage in front of us. We have to retreat to the alley first and let others pass by first." Chen Laoer said to Su Yi and Lin Shu in the carriage.

"Brother Chen, let me pass first!" Su Yi said.

Lin Shu was stunned. She seemed to have heard Wang Xiaowu's voice just now. In her last life, she had been married to the Hou Mansion for three years. Wang Xiaowu had been following Xiao Yan. Lin Shu was also very interested in Wang Xiaowu's voice. familiar.

So Lin Shu knew that Xiao Yan was sitting in the carriage opposite.

"Master Marquis, no need, I have already made way for you."

"Since I have already given in, let's go first! King Xian is getting married. There are many people today, so don't block the road."

As soon as Xiao Yan opened his mouth, Wang Xiaowu started to drive away in his carriage.

When passing Su Yi and Lin Shu's carriage, Xiao Yan opened the curtain and took a look. It was just an ordinary people's carriage, but he always felt that something in the carriage was attracting him.

As the carriage drove away, Xiao Yan lowered the curtain, put his hands on his knees and began to close his eyes and meditate.

These days, the Sixth Prince's movements are getting louder and louder, and food prices in various places have begun to rise. Fortunately, Xiao Yan anticipated this in advance and helped the prince prepare a lot of food.

However, in the three months after his rebirth, Xiao Yan never had a good rest. He discussed countermeasures with the prince all day long. He took advantage of his rebirth to help the prince escape several plots by the Sixth Prince.

Xiao Yan is also getting more and more attention from the prince. When the prince is registered in the future, Xiao Yan may not only have the status of a marquis, but may also continue to be promoted to a higher rank.

On the other side, Su Yi also discovered something strange about Lin Shu.

"Shu'er, what's wrong? But you feel unwell because you woke up too early today?" Su Yi asked with concern.

Lin Shu was pulled back by Su Yi's voice. Just now, Lin Shu heard the voices of Wang Xiaowu and Xiao Yan, and her thoughts were drawn back to the previous life. Lin Shu realized that she had a new life, and she should put the things of the previous life aside. Forget it all.

So he smiled and said to Su Yi:

"Husband, I'm fine. I just need to go back and rest more."
