Uncle An."
"Consort Shen".
Su Huaiyuan greeted Shen Jiaojiao.
As for Shen Mingzhu, she didn't move at all.
"Elder sister?"
"Consort Shen, who fell into the latrine? The smell is unbearable!"
Shen Jiaojiao felt embarrassed.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Mingzhu threw a nightmare talisman at Shen Jiaojiao.
To change the subject, she led Prince An, Shen Mingzhu, and Su Huaiyuan directly to the main hall.
"Chrysanthemum, bring the tea."
Soon, three steaming cups of tea were served.
[You wicked woman, you bullied my second sister-in-law! I'll give you nightmares, I'll scare you to death!]
[Host, your second sister-in-law is catching up with her second senior brother, Zhou Hanchuan. Zhou Hanchuan is determined to help Shen Jiaojiao and the Second Prince.]
[Guagua, it's alright. We're all fighting for our own interests, and we'll rely on our own abilities!]
"Jiaojiao, where's Yunxuan? I've only been here a short while, why haven't I seen him?"
Prince An looked at Shen Jiaojiao and asked about the Second Prince Yan Yunxuan.
His second nephew has been having a really bad run of luck lately.
I'd heard before that even drinking cold water can cause problems, and now that he's fallen into the lake at his place yesterday, he's just checking in on him.
"Uncle An, Brother Yunxuan had a high fever yesterday and it just broke. He can't get up at all. I hope you can understand."
"Oh! Then he needs to get some rest."
Prince An touched his nose guiltily, after all, the incident happened at the family reunion banquet in his residence.
"Sister, why are you here?"
"I've come to take Doctor Bai back to our residence."
"Ohhhhhh"
Shen Jiaojiao's laughter was full of meaning.
[Guagua, look at her smile, it's so creepy! Is she up to something again?]
Of course, she definitely wants your second sister-in-law to stay; Zhou Hanchuan is trying to persuade her! Fortunately, your second sister-in-law truly loves your second brother and has no intention of leaving the North.
These people are really wicked; they probably don't even know that His Majesty has already bestowed the marriage upon them.
"Shen Jiaojiao, you probably don't know that His Majesty has already bestowed a marriage upon my second brother and Doctor Bai this morning. Doctor Bai is already my second sister-in-law. I advise you not to waste your energy!"
"What?"
"My second sister-in-law probably needs to rush back to the mansion to receive the imperial decree! You'd better tell your maid to hurry up and inform her."
Shen Jiaojiao wanted to stall time until Zhou Hanchuan successfully persuaded Bai Wanrou to join them or go to the Northwest.
Now:...
She angrily pounded her thigh.
But no matter how unwilling she was, everyone was watching.
Reluctantly, she had someone to call Bai Wanrou, the divine physician.
"Second Sister-in-law!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Wanrou blushed deeply.
"Mingzhu, you, you, please call me Miss Bai or Doctor Bai, or Army Doctor Bai."
"No! I'll call you Second Sister-in-law. You are my Second Sister-in-law. This morning, Father already obtained an imperial decree, and His Majesty has already bestowed a marriage upon you and Second Brother!"
Bai Wanrou was very happy to hear this.
"Really?"
"Absolutely true. You can go back now and receive the imperial decree!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Wanrou immediately took her leave, said goodbye to everyone, and rushed back to the Marquis of Changping's residence.
Zhou Hanchuan looked at Shen Mingzhu, his brows furrowed tightly.
[Guagua, look at Zhou Hanchuan, isn't he very angry!]
"Of course! He's already written back to Divine Healer Valley, inviting his fellow disciples to Shengjing! It looks like they're about to make a big splash!"
Shen Mingzhu: ...They're really going all out!
Prince An: In this way, many divine doctors will come to Shengjing.
Su Huaiyuan frowned slightly.
This is not a good thing!
[Host, I have some interesting news for you! The Second Prince heard you were here and came to settle scores, but he tripped and fell flat on his face, bumping his head badly!]
Serves him right!
She didn't have time to argue with second prince or Shen Jiaojiao at the Xuanwang Mansion; her target was her second sister-in-law.
After defeating the enemy in one move, the best course of action is to retreat quickly!
Shen Mingzhu wanted to leave, while Shen Jiaojiao wanted her to stay.
[Guagua, do you think Shen Jiaojiao is crazy? Why is she keeping me here to eat her food?!]
[Yes, host, Shen Jiaojiao just wants you to stay for dinner so she can brag about how great it is that she married the Second Prince Yan Yunxuan, making you envious and jealous!]
"Her? Enough already! Even if the Second Prince couldn't get up, I'd still beat him to a pulp!"
As Shen Mingzhu thought about it, she clenched her fists so tightly they cracked.
Su Huaiyuan: I never expected that Lord Shen would be a little violent.
Prince An hopes that His Highness the Crown Prince can marry Shen Mingzhu as soon as possible, as he wants to see the two of them have a showdown at the Forbidden City!
"Your Highness Prince An, Grand Scholar Su, Sister, please stay for lunch."
As an elder and the highest-ranking person here, Prince An was about to refuse when he heard Shen Mingzhu's inner thoughts.
Since you've invited me so sincerely, I'll take pity on you and stay. But inviting someone is easy, sending them away is hard!
Upon hearing this, Prince An immediately nodded.
"Jiaojiao, since you're so sincere, we'll stay."
Shen Mingzhu nodded with a smile.
Zhou Hanchuan frowned, his intuition telling him that he should get Shen Mingzhu to leave the Xuanwang Mansion as soon as possible.
But they stayed.
Since it was still early, Shen Jiaojiao accompanied everyone to tour the Xuanwang Mansion.
Zhou Hanchuan was worried about Shen Jiaojiao, so he stayed by her side.
Shen Mingzhu slowly walked to his side and threw a bad luck charm and a stinky ball at him.
He and Shen Jiaojiao are birds of a feather, so they should smell the same.
[Host, you're so mean but i like it ha ha!
They didn't have any good intention either! You think they were really inviting me to dinner? It's a trap!
Prince An nodded.
However, he wanted to know what Shen Mingzhu had done, but he had never found out from Shen Mingzhu's inner thoughts, and he was very curious.
Soon, they reached a lake and Shen Mingzhu threw a pill into it.
[Host, what did you throw away?]
[Leg-stretching and eye-glaring pill!]
Prince An: !!!
Su Huaiyuan: ...
Around noon, Crown Prince Yan Beichen heard that Shen Mingzhu, Prince An, and Su Huaiyuan were at Prince Xuan's residence. Fearing that something might have happened to them, he took his men directly to Prince Xuan's residence.
Then, one more person was added to the lunch team.
When the dishes were served, Shen Mingzhu was surprised and delighted.
Shen Jiaojiao really went all out!
Eggplant casserole, tofu skin buns, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, braised ham, roasted lamb leg, roasted venison, braised prawns, chicken skin and shrimp ball soup, steamed duck with fermented rice wine, goose breast, lotus leaf soup, duck tongue, steamed sweet cheese, rose syrup...
[Guagua, the Xuanwang Mansion is so luxurious! It's even better than what the Emperor eats!]
Prince An's eyes widened.
Recently, his elder brother has been advocating frugality, and everyone from top to bottom is eating very simply, with most meals not being extravagant. This is also to prepare for the Little Ice Age in the future, which can be considered as taking precautions.
Looking at these dishes.
He suddenly laughed.
"We've come to the right place at the Xuan King's Mansion; we're in for a treat!"
[Host, hurry up and try this! After you finish eating, you can go back and write the impeachment memorial!]
[Haha, Guagua, that's exactly what I was thinking!]
Crown Prince Yan Beichen watched Shen Mingzhu cover her mouth and chuckle, seemingly happy despite eating very little. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly that Shen Jiaojiao's cleverness had backfired!
The Second Prince was just lying at home when trouble came out of nowhere!
Su Huaiyuan also enjoyed the meal very much; his family hadn't had such a sumptuous meal in a long time!
Seeing Shen Mingzhu and the others eating happily, Shen Jiaojiao was filled with pride.
She looked at Shen Mingzhu and said arrogantly,
"Sister, it's so good to be married to Brother Yunxuan. Not only is he kind to me, but his heart is also unique. Look at today's lunch; it's all Brother Yunxuan's love for me~"
