Full level Black Heart Lotus, reborn to bully scumbags every day!

Shen Jingyu stood there in a daze, pondering Shen Shuyi's words over and over again, but still couldn't figure out what she meant.

Shen Shuyi sneered and left with his group.

After Qin Xuerong heard the news, she sneered: "I thought she was very capable, but she was still assigned to a minister like Xie Jingchi. I think His Majesty is just planning to use her to win over the ministers."

"Mom, don't worry. Your son plans to take part in this preliminary exam and will definitely get good results. When the time comes, your father will definitely lift your house arrest for your son's sake." Shen Jingan said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Qin Xuerong's eyes were filled with tears and she was so moved.

"Good boy, I know you still have me in your heart. Don't worry, I will take care of everything for you. Let's get a good rank in this preliminary exam first..."

On the other hand, Shen Jingzhen, who had just given birth, was weak all over: "Is Shen Shuyi married to Xie Jingchi by His Majesty?"

Feng Bochang glanced at her, and because she gave him a son, he felt pretty good: "Yes."

Shen Jingzhen couldn't help but sneer: "I thought she was very capable, but it turns out she's just so-so, and the one she married is not even as good as me."

Feng Bochang paused while teasing his son, looked at Shen Jingzhen and said coldly: "You know shit!"

Shen Jingzhen looked embarrassed: "Husband..."

Feng Bochang was once a soldier in the emperor's personal army, so it was inevitable that he knew more than others.

"Your Majesty's favor towards Lord Xie is unprecedented, and I have witnessed Xie Jingchi's methods with my own eyes. This man is definitely not an ordinary person." Feng Bochang spoke in a cold voice, and couldn't help but think of Xie Jingchi's hostility.

He couldn't explain the reason, but he just instinctively felt danger.

Besides, did she think that an ordinary person could defeat the Third Prince's faction and remain unscathed?

I hate that I am being treated coldly by His Majesty and have lost many opportunities.

Shen Jingzhen grumbled in dissatisfaction: "No matter how great he is, he is just a junior official of the Dali Temple."

Feng Bochang was so angry that he didn't want to waste time talking to her. What a person with long hair and little knowledge!

He then turned away with his sleeves!

Half a month later, Xie Jingchi asked the people from the Imperial Observatory to match his horoscope with that of Shen Shuyi.

Although she didn't know whether it was true or not, when Shen Shuyi saw it, she just felt that this person was trying to praise her and Xie Jingchi as a match made in heaven, one and only in the world, and they couldn't be more compatible.

So when Shen Jingchuan saw this, he couldn't stop laughing.

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory gave three days suitable for marriage within the year: June 28th, August 25th, and November 16th.

Shen Jingchuan looked at these days and frowned frequently: "Time seems to be a little tight. I don't know if it's too late to prepare."

Xie Jingchi said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Lord Shen. I have already petitioned His Majesty. There is no elder in my family to take care of it. His Majesty will send the Minister of Rites and Madam Chen to take care of it for me."

Shen Jingchuan: “…”

This Xie Jingchi is really...

She was able to get married and His Majesty could actually appoint officials from the Ministry of Rites and Lady Chen to take care of it for her.

"So, even if June 28th is less than two months from now, we can ensure that everything is foolproof." Xie Jingchi spoke again.

Shen Jingchuan was speechless for a long time. Although Xie Jingchi was very polite and respectful to him, he felt inexplicably uneasy when this man sat there.

"Forget it, invite the second young lady over and ask her what she thinks."

After a cup of tea, Shen Shuyi arrived wearing a flowing-red skirt. The girl had her hair tied up in a simple bun and wore two golden peony hairpins on her head. Her face was like a lotus, and her skin was whiter than frost and snow. Her almond-shaped eyes were extremely clear and distinct, cold and sharp, yet they had the agility and gentleness of someone who saw through the world.

"Sister Yi is here. Take a look at the times that the Imperial Observatory has asked someone to draw up..."

Shen Shuyi glanced at the times given and then looked at Xie Jingchi. It was obvious that the time this man had chosen was August 25th.

June is too close, so preparations will inevitably be incomplete. The weather in November is already cold and not suitable for a wedding, so August 25th is the only choice.

"August 25th, right?" Shen Shuyi looked at Shen Jingchuan. Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips and was in a good mood.

If he didn't have to take time to go back to Liangzhou, he really wouldn't want to wait even for August.

"I don't have any elders in my family. If there is anything that is not considerate, please speak frankly, Lord Shen." Xie Jingchi said in a deep voice.

Shen Shuyi sat not far away, and always felt that it was a bit strange for him to discuss his own marriage.

Shen Jingchuan flipped through the list of betrothal gifts prepared by Xie Jingchi, and was speechless for a long time. After holding it in for a long time, he looked at Xie Jingchi and said, "Master Xie's family background is so rich?"

Isn't it said that Xie Jingchi's parents are both dead and all his relatives are gone, so his family background is extremely poor. Apart from the rewards from His Majesty over the years and his own salary, he has almost no savings.

But now, the betrothal gift of 128 loads is comparable to the royal regulations.

He originally thought that he might want to fill in some cotton quilts to save face, but the gift list was extremely detailed. According to Shen Jingchuan's estimation, the 128 bags might not be able to hold all the items, and it must be filled to the brim.

Xie Jingchi said immediately: "Don't worry, Lord Shen. If there is anything missing, I will report it to His Majesty."

Shen Jingchuan: “…”

Your Majesty is not his father. This Xie Jingchi is so arrogant.

"Thank you, sir, just do what you can and don't make His Majesty unhappy because of this matter."

"Thank you, Lord Shen, for your advice."

After chatting with Shen Jingchuan for a while, Shen Shuyi took Xie Jingchi for a walk in the Shen family's yard. The weather was just right and the scenery in the Shen mansion was pleasant.

When they reached the center of the lake, Xie Jingchi took out a red jade bracelet and presented it to Shen Shuyi.

"this is for you."

Shen Shuyi took the jade bracelet and could tell at a glance that it was a rare, top-grade agate. It was translucent throughout, and the red was so rich and deep that one could not take their eyes off it.

"Thank you, sir, you are really generous. It seems that I won't have to worry about a hard life after I marry him."

Shen Shuyi did not hesitate. Having made the decision, she directly put the jade bracelet on her wrist. The deep red color made her snow-white skin look even more dazzling.

Xie Jingchi raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry, Princess. As long as I, Xie, eat a bite of meat, you will definitely have a bowl of soup."

Shen Shuyi: "..."

"You eat the meat, and let me drink the soup?" She looked at Xie Jingchi and couldn't help but speak.

Xie Jingchi raised the corners of his lips and took off a petal that had fallen from her hair. His phoenix eyes stared at Shen Shuyi: "Don't worry, Princess. Everything I have belongs to you, including me."

At that moment, Shen Shuyi's ears felt inexplicably hot for no apparent reason.

She avoided Xie Jingchi's sight, looked towards the center of the lake, and pretended to be calm: "Master Xie, please don't seduce me."

Xie Jingchi laughed: "It turns out that the princess is so easily seduced."

Shen Shuyi was speechless and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him: "Master Xie, do you want to take a mirror and look at your face?"

Xie Jingchi raised his thin lips, in a very good mood: "It doesn't matter what my face looks like, what matters is that the princess likes it."
