The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Which emperor wouldn’t mind being told he’s old?

As the one who holds the most power in the country, he wants to stay young and strong and live a long life.

The emperor had been the crown prince for nearly forty years, and the emperor emeritus had never died. It was only after he fell ill that he ascended the throne, and it has only been two years.

In the second year of the Xinhuang Emperor's reign, he heard from the Prince of Jin that he was so old that wrinkles appeared on his face. This was truly heartbreaking.

That's why he doesn't like this little prince, and the older he gets, the more he hates him.

"I am twenty years older than Ayue, so naturally I am more mature than you." The emperor tried to save his dignity.

His concubines all said that he looked very young, like he was in his early thirties, and he was very majestic on the dragon bed. Humph, he must not be hit by the King of Jin as soon as they met, he had to hold on.

"Well, my royal brother is almost fifty." Prince Jin replied very naturally.

The emperor almost cried.

"Ayue, come in quickly and have a good chat with me. Where have you been these years? What fun things have you experienced? I am so busy that I can hardly leave the palace. I envy your freedom and ease." The emperor invited him into the imperial study.

As he stepped over the threshold, the King of Jin said calmly, "Brother, let's stop talking nonsense for now and grant me a marriage first."

"puff!"

The emperor stumbled and almost tripped over the threshold.

The eunuch was startled and rushed to help. "Your Majesty!"

The emperor stood firm, and Prince Jin walked in calmly with one hand behind his back and glanced around the imperial study.

"Ayue, what did you just say? I think I heard it wrong? You said you wanted to grant me a marriage?"

"Yes, my brother heard it right."

"Didn't you write to Father before that you were traveling around and not even a female mosquito would bite you?"

This was said by the retired emperor, who had always been worried that his youngest son would never get married and would end up alone.

The pretty face of Lu Zhaoling appeared in the mind of King Jin, and the corners of his lips curled up, "Yeah, who knew there was a little fox in the capital."

The attack is very fierce.

He is a man who keeps his promises and will not go back on his word once he has agreed to cooperate.

"Little fox?" The emperor was not stupid. He knew that the words referred to the girl who was to be married off. "Whose girl is she?"

Just as Prince Jin was about to speak, a palace attendant outside called out, "The Queen Mother is here!"

"Mother is here?" The emperor stood up. "She must be excited and happy to hear that you are back."

Prince Jin's eyes dimmed.

The Queen Mother brought Shen Xiangjun in, and her eyes immediately fell on Prince Jin.

The last time I saw King Jin, he was still a teenager.

The Prince of Jin in front of him was now a tall, calm, and dignified adult man. He stood next to the emperor, half a head taller than the emperor. The dark purple brocade robe he wore made him look so noble that he made the emperor in his dragon robe look a little greasy and shabby.

So infuriating!!!

"I heard the chirping of birds this morning. There really is good news. The Prince of Jin is back!" The Queen Mother looked at the Prince of Jin and gently pressed the corners of her eyes with a piece of silk. Her voice was a little choked with sobs. "I dreamed of you a few days ago. I woke up with a start and was so worried that I couldn't eat well. Now that I see you are fine, I feel relieved."

Does this mean that you dreamed about him getting into trouble?

The Queen Mother was still the same as before, finding every opportunity to curse him, but her expression was impeccable and she was genuinely excited and happy about his return.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother. I will be fine and will never let you worry." said Prince Jin.

After Shen Xiangjun came in and bowed, she stood aside, looking at Prince Jin, her eyes slightly red.

Prince Jin is so dazzling and handsome now!

His eyebrows, eyes, and face shape were all in her favorite spots.

Seeing that the Queen Mother had forgotten about her when she met the Prince of Jin, Shen Xiangjun stepped forward, bowed to the Prince of Jin, and spoke softly.

"Shen Xiangjun has met Prince Jin."

The Queen Mother then remembered her, and she perked up. She immediately said, "Prince Jin, do you still remember Xiangjun? The daughter of Prime Minister Shen Chen. You two were childhood sweethearts when you were young."

Prince Jin's gaze fell indifferently on Shen Xiangjun's face.

The emperor looked at the empress dowager, then at Shen Xiangjun, and finally understood.

It was no secret to him that the girl from the Shen family had admired Prince Jin since she was a child.

"I now understand. You two came to the palace at the same time for the same thing, right?" The emperor laughed teasingly. "Mother, just now Ayue was about to ask me for the imperial decree to grant you marriage."

The Queen Mother and Shen Xiangjun were both shocked and looked at Prince Jin in shock.

"An imperial decree granting marriage?" Shen Xiangjun was shocked. She didn't dare to think that the first thing Prince Jin would do after returning to Beijing would be to ask to marry her.

But if it wasn't her, who else could it be? Over the years, she had been sending people to keep an eye on the news about the King of Jin, who clearly said that he had no girls around him.

"Now that I see Prime Minister Shen's daughter, I suddenly remember that Master Yuan Zhen once predicted A Yue's marriage fate and calculated the horoscope of A Yue's destined wife. That horoscope must be yours, right?" the emperor asked Shen Xiangjun.

That’s right, it was because of this incident that even the retired emperor and Prime Minister Shen’s family tacitly agreed that Prince Jin and Shen Xiangjun were a perfect match made in heaven.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Prime Minister Shen to keep his daughter until she was sixteen and still not arrange a marriage for her.

"Your Majesty, what Master Yuanzhen said back then was indeed the date of birth of this subject. I will leave it entirely to Your Majesty to decide."

Shen Xiangjun immediately knelt down with her hands on the ground and her forehead lowered, as if waiting for the emperor to grant her marriage.

She had just felt extremely nervous, thinking that the marriage she had been waiting for was going to end in an unexpected situation, so now, no matter how embarrassing it was, she had to get this divine marriage first!

"When Shen Xiangjun was little, she always followed behind Prince Jin and called Shi Yue brother," the Queen Mother smiled softly, "She has been waiting for Prince Jin to return to the capital for so many years. Her sincerity is precious. Your Majesty, you must help this marriage."

"Haha, I am also optimistic about them. Ayue is not young anymore this year, and this matter cannot be delayed. I will grant them marriage right away..."

Prince Jin had a cold expression on his face.

"The king wants to marry someone else."

Shen Xiangjun's body trembled and her head buzzed.

"Prince Jin, half a year ago, the Emperor promised to let me enter the Prince Jin's Mansion." She raised her head, tears rolling down her cheeks. "If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Prince Jin frowned.

The Queen Mother laughed inwardly, "How could I have forgotten this? This is true. At that time, the Emperor fainted in the ancestral temple, and it was Shen Xiangjun who saved him. After the Emperor woke up, he said that he saw that this girl had a kind face and was a blessed person, so he insisted on marrying her to you."

It is something that the emperor can do.

"After I got home, I told my father and mother about this matter, but I didn't know there were guests present at the time and they heard it. Now it has spread." Shen Xiangjun's tears fell again. "If it ends up becoming a joke, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out in the capital."
