"How about a marriage? What about the princess? Aren't you going to have to wait in this ice and snow?"

The sun is shining brightly today, and the Prince Regent's Palace is overjoyed. The sky is filled with bright red makeup and loud gongs and drums.

It was obviously a marriage granted by the Holy Spirit, and the bride came to the door in a sedan chair, but the palace did not allow her to enter, and only asked her to wait at the door.

The red clothes and white snow form a sharp contrast, and the low wind rises from the ground and rolls the snow into the air.

Clear skies and heavy snow.

The red wedding dress was stained with white, and Shen Yan returned to the spot, motionless.

The surrounding people could see half of the bride's appearance from the hijab blown by the wind.

Although it was only half a pair, it was already astonishing.

"I've heard that Miss Shen's beauty is beautiful, but why would the Regent be so beautiful?"

"Then what's the point of being reluctant to part with? Does the regent still need a beauty?"

"I heard that the regent was disfigured from the battlefield, his face was hideous, his temper became weird, and he became violent. Every month, more and more beautiful women were carried out of the palace. All of them were covered in bruises and were played to death."

"This princess belongs to the family of General Xuanwu. Who is General Xuanwu? The political enemy of the Prince Regent. He caused trouble for the Prince in the court. Naturally, the Prince Regent will give his daughter power."

"It's strange. With his status as regent, the emperor's younger uncle, a man with all the power in the government and with one hand covering the sky, why did he choose to belong to General Xuanwu's family?"

"This has to bring up a royal secret..."

The weather is very cold, which cannot stop people from watching the fun.

This excitement had nothing to do with Shen Yangui.

The regent chooses a concubine, at least from the families of marquis and above or courtiers of the third rank and above. The emperor chose a fourth-rank general, Xuanwu, who was the daughter of the regent's sworn enemy to marry her.

This was obviously a deliberate attempt to spite the regent.

The little emperor grew up and wanted to take power.

The Shen family's daughter became the victim of this power struggle.

And she became a victim of the Shen family's infighting.

Two hours ago, when the sedan chair came to the door, Shen Yangui's younger sister, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, held a pair of scissors and put it on her own neck, vowing not to fall into the fire pit.

Xuanwu General Shen Ting also did not want to enter into this marriage, but since it was already known throughout the city that he regretted the marriage at this moment, he was afraid that the regent would be angered by this and bloodshed the entire Shen family.

The general's wife came up with the idea, and the imperial edict only mentioned the daughter of the Shen family, but did not say that it must be the legitimate daughter of the Shen family.

So her daughter, who was raised in a side hospital and could not see the light, was pushed to the shelves.

Shen Yangui also wanted to refuse, but they forced her to do so at the risk of the lives of her mother and sister.

Anyway, it was just a matter of going from one side hospital to another. To her, there was no essential difference.

Qingshuang, the personal maid, was angry and distressed when she heard the comments of the people around her, but she could do nothing but shout:

"Miss……"

Shen Yan Guihun said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, it's just being left out. Isn't this how we have been living these years? Going to the mistress's courtyard every winter to receive the monthly salary can last longer than this."

There was another sound of gongs and drums in the distance.

Someone in the crowd shouted, and the discussion that had gradually subsided began to boil again.

"Hey, here comes another sedan chair. Why is the prince having a double happiness today?"

"There's something good to watch."

"That's the daughter-in-law of Yong'enhou's family! The niece of the Queen Mother, her status is much nobler than that of General Xuanwu!"

"I heard that the Regent had proposed to marry Miss Feng before. The Queen Mother felt that she was not old enough, so she refused to agree. This time the Emperor offended the Regent by granting the marriage. Is he snatching her away directly?"

"This court, after all, the regent has the final say. I'm afraid the princess will have a difficult life in the future——"

"There is only one princess. No matter how noble Miss Feng is, she can only be a concubine, right?"

"It doesn't matter who the princess is, it's who the prince likes that matters. Although Miss Feng is a side concubine, how can she not be better than the main concubine? From now on, it is clear who will call the shots in the backyard of the palace."

"The bride has gotten off the sedan chair...Where is Feng Feng?...I saw it, I saw it...I thought Miss Feng was more beautiful than the princess, but she doesn't seem to be comparable."

"That's what I think. Her figure can't compare to her. Look at the princess's elegant temperament."

"Maybe the regent hurt his eyes and just likes ugly things?"

"Don't talk nonsense. What can you tell with half a face? I have watched Miss Feng's family captivate the country, and she is famous for her talent. General Xuanwu's family cannot match her."

"I also heard that the Regent fell in love with Miss Feng because of her eyes."

"It's not like the Queen Mother, is it? Hahahahaha... I heard, I heard! It's not necessarily true, it's just... I heard..."

"You bastard, what did you hear? I'm really worried about you."

"I heard that the young emperor is the illegitimate son of the Queen Mother and the Regent..."

"Really or not? If so, then by marrying the princess, wouldn't she be a widow?"

"It's better to be a widow than to be tortured to death by that bad old man the regent, right?"

"Shut up, if you keep talking, all nine tribes will be gone."

"Look, look, the regent is out."

A corner of the red hijab was lifted up by the wind, and Shen Yan returned to see her groom.

Her hair was tied up with a nine-beaded purple gold crown, her wedding robe was tailor-made, and her waist was cinched with a jade belt. Her gold-embroidered soap boots fell to the ground with a cold metallic sound.

The ape-armed wasp-waisted mantis has 1 leg and a tall body.

The regent glanced at her, and the two of them looked at each other unexpectedly. The dark gold mask obscured his face, and the sunlight gathered in his eyes into little cold gleams.

It was as if the Shadow Bearing Sword had penetrated an iceberg, sending chills down one's back for no apparent reason.

Those eyes are used to killing people.

I heard that the regent had been with the army since he was a child. He led the army alone at the age of fourteen. He swept across the northern border at the age of eighteen and returned to Beijing at the age of nineteen. In just one year, he fought his way through the court and supported the young emperor against all opinions. He ascended the throne and has held sole power ever since.

There is the emperor above, and there are hundreds of officials below. He kills people not based on the reason, but only based on his mood.

Shen Yangui's legs, which were about to freeze, were about to move forward when he saw two cold words coming out of his cold lips:

"close the door."

People around: "The regent has brought the concubine in, what about the princess?"

The palace steward came over and said, "Miss Shen, please--"

The front door is closed and the corner door is open.

"What about the princess? Shouldn't you go in through the side door?"

Hearing the people repeating this sentence one after another, Shen Yangui's pride stopped her in her tracks.

Qingshuang was angry: "My young lady is a princess granted marriage by imperial decree. She is a royal concubine. How can she enter through the corner door?"

The housekeeper said majestically: "The girl also said she is a young lady. How can she be considered a princess before the ceremony is completed? If Miss Shen refuses to enter and wants to return to the General's Mansion, our Regent's Mansion will not force her."

If the bride does not come, the face of the Prince Regent's Palace will be lost. If the bride returns, the face of General Xuanwu's Palace will be lost.

Shen Yangui also wants to go back, but if she goes back, what will happen to her mother and sister?

They finally took a sip of hot soup, covered themselves with quilts, and lit a charcoal pot.

How much is pride worth?

Can I get hot soup, quilts and silver charcoal in exchange?

Does not.

She had no choice.
