The Shen family members all had ugly expressions. They didn't hit people in the face, and didn't expose people's shortcomings when scolding them. Zhou Yunsui is a member of their Shen family now, and she doesn't protect their Shen family wholeheartedly. From the sound of it, she wants to see Lan Xi make a fool of herself?

Mrs. Shen's face immediately turned dark.

The faces of the others were not good either. If Lan Xi was talked about and ridiculed, the Shen family would be dragged into it.

What on earth was the Tenth Princess thinking? Why would she help outsiders and make fun of the Shen family?

Seeing that the auspicious time was about to pass, Zhou Rulin was getting anxious. He had sent people to check three times, but no one came from the palace.

Father, are you not planning on sending anyone over today?

We clearly agreed on it yesterday, but you changed your mind just after one night?

Just when everyone was discussing, Shen Lanxi came in with rewards from the palace.

"Congratulations to King Chen!"

Zhou Rulin hurried to meet him.

Shen Lanxi was accompanied by people from the palace, and there were eunuchs delivering imperial edicts waiting on the side. Who would dare to neglect her?

Zhou Ruyuan and other officials immediately stepped forward in an orderly manner.

Shen Lanxi passed the imperial edict to him while chatting and laughing, and started.

Everyone kneel!

"Follow the sky..."

Shen Lanxi held the imperial edict and read it aloud. Everyone knelt at her feet and listened to the edict. No one dared to act rashly!

The content of the imperial edict was neither long nor short, but it made Shen Lanxi read it slowly and without haste, conveying a feeling of eternity.

The people who had just been speaking contemptuously of Shen Lanxi and waiting to laugh at her now felt so embarrassed and ashamed as if they had been slapped in the face!

After reading the imperial edict, Shen Lanxi put it away slowly and respectfully.

"Everyone please stand up!"

The old men and women were helped up by their children and grandchildren. Even if they were so ashamed and angry that they were about to vomit blood, they dared not show it at all.

Zhou Rulin also had to say to Shen Lanxi: "Thank you for your hard work, Master Shen!"

Shen Lanxi smiled calmly and said, "It's my job, so I won't talk about the hard work!"

Zhou Rulin had previously assessed Shen Lanxi's position in his father's heart, and now he had to assess it again.

It's truly amazing that a woman can do this!

He will definitely take a woman like this into his harem in the future.

No one doubts Shen Lanxi's current status, and no one dares to spoil the fun at Prince Chen's wedding banquet.

Even if it is impeachment, it is during the court session.

Shen Lanxi was respectfully invited by Zhou Rulin to sit at the men's table.

Sitting at that table were the Left Prime Minister Wu Yanzhi, the current Grand Tutor Mei Nanhua, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion Liu Mingxin, and Zhou Ruyuan.

None of the four great ministers were missing, plus the god of war Zhou Ruyuan, the people together could almost control the political situation. It was no exaggeration to say that the Great Zhou was at the peak of power.

Among the six people, only Shen Lanxi is a woman!

Those who had talked about Shen Lanxi before now seemed to have amnesia, and their words and minds were all focused on today's dishes.

There’s nothing wrong with talking about dishes!

Old Madam Shen had never been so proud. Although Lan Xi was not a man, he could sit at the same table with some of the most powerful people in the Great Zhou.

Even the eldest son in the family can't do it!

The Shen family is proud of this!

Except Shen Yuantang!

Shen Yuantang looked at Shen Lanxi who was sitting next to Prince Zhennan with a sinister look. Why was she the only one who could sit there?

She should be the one who can sit shoulder to shoulder with the prince.

Bai Qingling was equally jealous, and her eyes were full of jealousy.

She had just knelt down to worship Shen Lanxi, and now she felt ashamed just thinking about it.

Why is Shen Lanxi always there?

Shen Lanxi is superior to the prince. Why does she do that?

Without the prince as a guard of honor, no matter how glorious Shen Lanxi is now, she will be as miserable in the future.

Shen Lanxi shouldn't be too proud. Wait until the prince ascends to a high position and then see how he will deal with her, an abandoned woman.

~

Shen Lanxi stole the spotlight today, and her glory even overshadowed Prince Chen's wedding.

Afterwards, when people mentioned her marriage with Zhou Ruyuan, they all lamented that Zhou Ruyuan was blind and ignored the pearls but treated the fish eyes as treasures.

It's a pity that Zhou Ruyuan missed his perfect marriage and even called for water three times in one night.

This is the first time!

The chopsticks were raised several times, and after three rounds of wine, the officials began to raise their glasses and toast around the banquet.

Shen Lanxi was also toasted several times, and Zhou Ruyuan helped to block it twice, but one or two glasses were still poured down her throat.

"I can't hold my liquor anymore. I'm going to take a break to get rid of the alcohol. You guys continue!" Shen Lanxi stood up and walked outside with a smile.

Zhou Rulin personally led Shen Lanxi outside, and then a maid led her to the guest room.

"You may rest here, sir." said the maid as she opened the door.

After Shen Lanxi went in, she closed her eyes and rested.

Knock knock knock, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

A tall and handsome man came in carrying a tray.

"Sir, I'm here to give you some hangover soup!"

Shen Lanxi smelled the scent coming from this person and sneered in her heart.

"Put it here!"

Who is behind this, choosing a day like this to plot against her?

"Sir..." The man approached tentatively, and suddenly his body froze.

Shen Lanxi's eyes were clear and her voice was cold: "Who sent you here?"

The man's eyes suddenly changed, and then he pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed at her.

Shen Lanxi flicked his finger on the dagger, and the man staggered, looking at him in disbelief, then threw a punch and then used force with his jaw.

With a click, Shen Lanxi removed the man's jaw, broke the tendons and bones of his limbs in a few strokes, and threw it aside like a rag.

"Take the person back to Bansicao quietly!"

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, there was another knock on the door.

"My lord, I have brought you the sobering soup!"

Shen Lanxi pushed the door open and went out.

"no need!"

……

Shen Lanxi returned to the table. The Shen family had already finished their meal and were waiting to leave.

"Grandma, are you tired?"

Madam Shen stood up: "Not tired, can we go now?"

Shen Lanxi: "There's nothing for us to do now, go back and have a good rest!"

Old Madam Shen was supported by Shen Lanxi as she walked out of the door, and Zhou Rulin and others personally saw them off.

"Thank you Lord Shen for visiting today. The King will definitely host a private banquet for you next time."

Shen Lanxi smiled faintly, and said meaningfully: "Your Highness, you don't have to be polite. There's no need for a banquet. You can take time to tidy up your home!"

Zhou Rulin was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses. When he wanted to ask, Shen Lanxi had already helped Old Madam Shen into the carriage.

After returning home

"After asking clearly, it turned out that she was a concubine from Prince Ji's mansion, and that concubine belonged to Zhou Yunshang!"

Shen Lanxi sneered: "Is Zhou Ruyuan an idiot? He is such a big man, but he hasn't been found out yet!"

Ban Sicao: "He is blind to begin with. He has a smart face but a stupid mind."

"Send the message to Zhou Ruyuan."

Ban Sicao was a little unhappy: "Why give him credit?"

Che Mingyuan: "What do you know? The current Prince Ji is His Majesty's man."

Ban Si Cao: “…”

Che Mingyuan: "Killing someone with a borrowed knife, do you understand?"

Ban Si Cao: "I know how to prepare the Broken Heart Powder, how to prepare the poison, do you know?"

Che Mingyuan: “…”
