Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

"Your Highness, Shen Lanxi is calling a horse a zebra. Everything she is doing now is to deceive the people of the Great Zhou. Nothing can be trusted!" Jiang Wuya expressed angrily immediately after receiving the news from the capital.

Zhou Ruyuan sat there in a daze, not knowing whether he was in a trance or thinking about something.

"Wei Dongzhu has a wife and children."

Jiang Wuya saw Zhou Ruyuan speak, and immediately explained: "The identity of that woman is Wei Dongzhu's maid in the northwest. He has been hiding it from Shen Lanxi. You can imagine how angry Shen Lanxi was when she found out."

Zhou Ruyuan thought a lot in his mind, but was defeated by reality. It was no longer possible for them.

"Her taste is not that good!" Zhou Ruyuan blurted out without thinking for some reason.

Jiang Wuya had an anxious look on his face: "Your Highness, now is not the time to dwell on love. Wei Dongzhu has been driven back to the northwest. Now is the best time for us to take advantage of the situation."

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes lit up.

"After this incident, Shen Lanxi will definitely turn against Wei Dongzhu. If she wants to stay in power as a woman, she must have the support of men. In the past, it was Wei Dongzhu who supported her, and the men under her were all convinced. Now that she and Wei Dongzhu have turned against each other, who will listen to her?"

Seeing that Zhou Ruyuan had already made up his mind, Jiang Wuya immediately advised: "Your Highness, there is no time to waste, otherwise something bad will happen!"

Zhou Ruyuan straightened his mind and immediately ordered: "Go and find out the truth of the news as soon as possible. I think this matter may be a trap set by Shen Lanxi on purpose."

Jiang Wuya looked at Zhou Ruyuan with an incredulous look. He didn't expect that the prince would actually think of this.

"Your Majesty is indeed very thoughtful."

Zhou Ruyuan: "Now the enemy is strong and we are weak. We only have Tianjin, so we have to defend it!"

Jiang Wuya's eyes lit up: "It turns out that the prince had already chosen this place in Tianjin."

Zhou Ruyuan nodded: "Although Tianjin has a small land area, it has a vast sea area. As long as we train our soldiers to be proficient in naval warfare, we can conquer the north upstream and reach the south downstream. This place is a treasure land."

Seeing that the prince had some ideas, Jiang Wuya immediately told Zhou Ruyuan the information he had gathered in recent days.

"Your Majesty, the Third Princess is in contact with pirates!"

Zhou Ruyuan's eyes darkened: "I understand, you keep watching."

"Yes!"

The Northwest also received news from the capital.

But not through spies, but through express reports.

"The imperial examination has concluded successfully, and the top scorer in this year's examination is a woman."

"The top scorer in the martial arts exam was also a woman."

"And there are more. His Majesty has taken in two concubines. Oh my God..."

Everyone in the meeting room looked up at Shen Yuanjing.

"Why are you looking at me? Other emperors have three harems and six courtyards, so what's wrong with my elder sister taking two?"

"More?"

Shen Yuanjing, who was already accustomed to the ruggedness of the Northwest, spoke in the same way as the people there.

"Not much, not much. Your Majesty is worthy of being your Majesty. You have the appearance of a wise ruler."

Shen Yuanjing said with pride: "That's right, our Majesty is unprecedented and unrivaled, he can be called the greatest emperor of all time!"

"What about General Wei?"

Shen Yuanjing: “…”

Yes, what if General Wei knew this news?

"He already has a wife and children, so just know it. It's impossible for him to have a family and leave my elder sister alone!"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, my elder sister is the emperor, how can we allow others to interfere? Let's not talk about this matter. He has the habit of reading the express newspaper, let him read it himself!"

Shen Yuanjing already had resentment towards Wei Dongzhu in his heart. What kind of person was his elder sister? What kind of person was Wei Dongzhu? How could he dare to deceive his elder sister? It was simply unforgivable.

If he were the older sister, he would definitely not let Wei Dong be driven back to the northwest so easily, let alone let him take charge of the army again.

……

Soon the day of the family recognition banquet arrived. Huang Yu called many colleagues from the Beijing Guards to come, and Zhou Xinrou also sent invitations to other mansions, and many people came.

Even if there were no such posts, all the dignitaries in Beijing would come for Shen Lanxi's sake.

"Did you see that? The mistress is the mistress, she is different from us!"

"Why don't you say less? What if someone hears it?"

"I'm not stupid. I must have said it because I saw no one was around."

Shen Yuanhe and Shen Yuanrui hid in the corner and whispered to each other.

"Look at the way Shen Yuanxin fawns on the mistress. It's disgusting."

"Hush, stop talking! I want to curry your favor, but I don't dare!"

The daughter of the Shen family has been living in the Shen family since Shen Lanxi's coronation ceremony and has not returned.

Their reasons were very sufficient. When His Majesty first ascended the throne, he would certainly hold banquets frequently. As members of the Shen family, if they were absent from their own banquets, they would definitely hold His Majesty back.

After much deliberation, Old Madam Shen allowed them to live in the Shen family. However, these girls were afraid that they would be too conspicuous and be driven away, so they stayed in the courtyard and seldom went out.

They all attended today's family reunion banquet in their best attire, showing that the Shen family is prosperous, and Old Madam Shen is very satisfied.

During this banquet, someone mentioned Shen Yuanxin's marriage again.

Now that Zhou Xinrou is in charge of the family, Old Madam Shen relies on Zhou Xinrou to make all the decisions.

Shen Yuanxin listened anxiously, but did not dare to show disapproval.

This time, the mistress taking charge of the household gave her a bad sense of crisis. After reflecting on it for a few days, she had already begun to feel like giving in.

The last time the matchmaker sent her engagement letters, they were either from declining marquisates or second wives, and she didn't like any of them.

This time she intended to select someone she liked from among those attending the banquet, hoping that there would be someone who caught her eye.

Huang Yu was wearing a red suit today and walked to the banquet in a heroic manner.

"Has the princess's daughter been betrothed to anyone?" asked the Prime Minister's wife, Liang.

Zhou Xinrou smiled and said, "My daughter has already joined the Beijing Guards. She will definitely look for a son-in-law to support the family in the future."

Many ladies who were tempted by the idea immediately gave up the idea after hearing her say this.

The matter was resolved by joking.

While Zhou Xinrou was changing her clothes, many ladies discussed the matter privately.

"I heard that she is the top martial arts student this year."

"She wields swords and guns, and has a long scar on her face. She doesn't look like a woman at all. An ordinary person would definitely not be able to enter her house."

"Didn't you hear what the princess said just now? She wants to marry a son-in-law. Maybe she will follow your majesty's example and have three husbands and four maids."

A frivolous and disdainful laugh was heard.

Shen Yuantang was furious when he heard this. Why did his mother say that? Didn’t she know that it would make people laugh?

And that Huang Yu, don't think you can't see that she is imitating Shen Lanxi.

Shen Lanxi also likes to wear red clothes.

When Zhou Xinrou came back, the two maids were holding two things in their hands.

"This Fire Fox cloak was given by the Queen Mother. Today I am giving this cloak to Huang Yu."

"Jade, come here, I'll put it on for you!"

Zhou Xinrou's leg injury had not healed yet, so Huang Yu stepped forward and knelt down.

"And this headgear was also given by the Queen Mother. I'm giving it to you today!"

The old woman opened the box and found a complete set of ruby ​​head ornaments. The hairpin on top was actually a phoenix head.
