On the day of the granted marriage, the daughter of a general wept and was reborn!

Outside the palace gate, a carriage was standing alone, as if waiting for someone.

Hearing the sound of a carriage coming from behind, Pei Qing quickly turned around and saw that it was the Shen family's carriage. He quickly lifted the curtain and said, "Sir, the Shen family's carriage has arrived!"

The sudden sound startled Cen Xiao.

His eyebrows were furrowed tightly, and there was a hint of blame in his words: "After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, your temper has become much wilder. Have you forgotten all the rules in the capital?"

Pei Qing scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

The carriage slowly stopped, and Cen Xiao got off slowly.

"General Shen.

"General Shen heard Cen Xiao's voice from a distance, raised his head and smiled calmly.

"Prince Cen."

"I heard that you have been recuperating at home these days. I wanted to visit you, but I was afraid that I would disturb you. Now that I see you, I think you are in much better shape."

Cen Xiao came forward and said these polite words.

Shen Wantang and Shen Ying got out of the car one after another.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am doing well now." General Shen said softly.

The two daughters came forward and stood behind their father.

Cen Xiao raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "Su Wen, there are two daughters in General Shen's mansion, but I have never seen the second lady. When I saw her today, she is really a beauty."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Ying's face suddenly turned red. She glanced at Cen Xiao shyly, then bowed and said, "Your Excellency, thank you for your compliment."

However, the look that Cen Xiao gave Shen Wantang was quite provocative.

"She is indeed the daughter of a wealthy family." Cen Xiao continued to boast.

Shen Wantang was too lazy to pay attention to the childish playfulness and said softly, "Father, I still have to pay my respects to the Queen Mother and the Empress, so I will go first."

General Shen nodded.

Shen Ying followed closely behind.

Walking along the path and through a corridor, you will arrive at the Imperial Garden, where there is a quiet lake with occasional goldfish playing in it, causing ripples in the water.

When they were alone, Shen Ying started to sarcastically say, "That gentleman just now really had good taste. I don't know what charm this guy has who spends all day brandishing swords and guns. At his age, no one has come to propose marriage to him. Tsk tsk tsk tsk. If it were me, I would have jumped into the lake out of shame!"

Shen Wantang suddenly stopped, Youyou turned around, grabbed Shen Wantang's arm and pretended to push her into the lake.

"Ah!" Shen Ying screamed in shock.

But Shen Wantang knew what he was doing. He held Shen Ying tightly and tilted her body to the maximum without throwing her into the lake.

After she was frightened out of her wits, Shen Wantang pulled her up.

"Remember, if you talk nonsense in the palace, the consequences will be even more tragic than this." Shen Wantang said coldly.

Shen Ying was still in shock and didn't dare to look directly into Shen Wantang's ferocious eyes. Now she could only nod repeatedly to show weakness.

Today the Empress Dowager and the Queen are together, so there is no need for officials and their families to come and pay their respects.

Led into the palace by palace servants, Shen Wantang had a cold expression and a dignified figure.

"Your servant Shen Wantang pays homage to the Queen Mother. May the Queen live a thousand years. I pay homage to the Queen. May the Queen live a thousand years."

Shen Ying behind him followed suit.

The empress dowager on her high seat was graceful and elegant, and the queen beside her was even more dignified.

"Okay, stand up."

At that time, there were already many officials' wives in the palace, and Xia Huai'en's sister, Yue Fu, was also sitting among them.

Unexpectedly, Xia Huai'en was also invited to today's palace banquet?

Shen Wantang found an excuse to sit next to Yue Fu.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they had a lot to talk about.

Shen Ying didn't want to sit with Shen Wantang. She looked around and saw a few girls from the Marquis' family. She eagerly went over to them.

"I heard that the candlelight in the Ministry of Personnel was on all night last night. Minister Xia just finished his official duties and then came to this palace banquet. How could his body bear it?"

Shen Wantang frowned and asked in a low voice.

Yue Fu picked up the wine glass, and the two clinked glasses. She smiled calmly, "My brother didn't come. He went to the Ministry of Justice early this morning. The palace sent an invitation, and it was difficult to refuse, so they asked me to come."

It turned out to be the case.

"The Queen Mother is a kind person. When she heard that my brother didn't come today, she comforted me for a long time."

Yue Fu smiled peacefully.

Shen Wantang was shocked, and felt that something strange happened today.

According to the rules, unmarried officials' wives were rarely allowed to enter the palace, let alone being unaccompanied by their father or brother, which was even more strange.

This has never happened before, why only today...

"Sorry, I'm late." A voice came over and everyone's eyes focused on one side.

A graceful woman with gold and silver hair walked in leisurely.

"Your Highness pays respect to the Queen Mother."

The imperial concubine nodded and smiled calmly.

"Today is an important day, and I was delayed for some time in dressing up."

The Queen Mother looked unhappy, but the Queen beside her quickly forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, that's not right. The palace banquet hasn't started yet. Someone, please give me a seat."

Behind the Imperial Concubine was the Shufei. With the Imperial Concubine's hair full of gold and silver as a contrast, the Shufei felt proud.

As soon as she sat down, the imperial concubine's attention fell on Shen Wantang.

"Hey, I haven't seen Miss Shen for a long time. Didn't you bring your sword today?"

This sentence is full of sarcasm and ridicule.

Shen Wantang raised her eyes and said respectfully: "Your Highness, you are joking. Today is the palace banquet. Although I am crude, I know some etiquette."

"Tsk, I thought you had made great contributions during your trip south this time, and the emperor would make an exception for you."

The imperial concubine rolled her eyes, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Shen Wantang smiled calmly and did not respond.

The conversation between the two attracted the attention of the Queen Mother.

"What is the origin of this girl from the Shen family?"

The palace servant beside him came forward and whispered, "Replying to the Queen Mother, Miss Shen is the eldest daughter of General Shen. She has fought with General Shen for many years and has many military merits to her credit."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother became even more interested.

She just raised her eyebrows and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, he is a suitable candidate."

The queen, who saw the whole process, said nothing but silently lowered her eyes with some disappointment.

After a moment, the eunuch outside came to report.

"Your Highness, the banquet is ready. Ladies, please move forward."

The Queen Mother slowly stood up and said with a kind smile, "You youngsters, go ahead. I am too old to join in the fun."

Everyone bowed and said, "Farewell, Queen Mother."

The palace banquet was really grand, with nearly a hundred people attending.

I don’t know if it was God’s blessing, but Shen Wantang and Yue Fu were still arranged together.

After taking his seat, Cen Xiao looked around before he saw where Shen Wantang was.

Everyone took their seats, waiting for the emperor.

After a moment, the eunuch came forward in small steps and shouted, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Everyone knelt down and said, "Long live our emperor."

Ji Xunchuan walked forward slowly and said leisurely, "Everyone, please stand up."
