Chapter 451 - 451 Prince Rui (1)

451 Prince Rui (1)

Early the next morning, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan entered the palace with Shen Qiu. They only returned in the afternoon. Emperor Wen Hui reinstated a few of their official positions and returned the Shen army to Shen Xin, but Shen Xin didn’t seem to be very happy.

Pain was the thing that could train one’s will the most. After training the Luo army for two years in a harsh environment like Spring City, Shen Xin became more composed. After taking back what was originally his, he didn’t even express his gratitude.

Not long after Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan entered the palace, the Shen mansion actually sent people to Shen Miao’s place to invite her back. Shen Miao couldn’t be bothered with those people and asked the servants to say that they had all gone out. The people from the Shen family didn’t believe it. First, they shouted at the door that it was all a misunderstanding back then. Later, they scolded Shen Xin and his wife for being heartless and unfilial. When Luo Ling heard that, he frowned. Luo Tan was an impulsive person and immediately rushed out to quarrel with the people. When it came to quarreling, Luo Tan had never been at a disadvantage. Her words were harsh and to the point, causing the people from the Shen mansion to blush and scurry away in embarrassment.

When Shen Xin and the others returned, Shen Miao told them about this. Shen Xin was silent for a moment before instructing Mo Qing to arrange more guards at the entrance of the mansion in the future.

At the dining table, Luo Xueyan said, “Three days later is the day of tribute. We’re all going to the palace. In the afternoon, get the tailor to come and make some new clothes, especially for Tan and Jiaojiao. We have been away for two years. I wonder what kind of fabric is more popular now. We must catch up.” At the end of her sentence, she looked at Shen Miao with a satisfied gaze. Two years ago, everyone was still calling Shen Miao an idiot, but now, two years later, Shen Miao had already become a different person. She was so beautiful and elegant.

“Yay! We’re going to the palace!” Luo Tan was a little excited. “Then we can see the people in the palace. Can we also see the people of the State of Qin and the Daliang Dynasty? I heard that the people of the State of Qin are all tall, and the people of the Daliang Dynasty Royal Family are extremely handsome. I wonder how many of them we can see this time?”

Luo Xueyan laughed. “Tan, if you take a liking to any young master at the banquet, Aunt and Uncle will help you matchmake.”

When her marriage was mentioned, Luo Tan did not blush or feel shy at all. Instead, she said, “I’m not in a hurry. Instead, Cousin Miao needs to seriously consider it. Those men in Spring City are too rough for you. There are many noble young masters in the capital. If you like them, you have to choose for yourself first.” She looked at Shen Miao and smiled mischievously.

Shen Miao glanced at her and did not speak. On the other hand, Luo Ling, who was holding her chopsticks, paused and looked a little hesitant.

In the afternoon, a tailor came to make clothes for them. In order to rope in Shen Xin, Emperor Wen Hui rewarded Shen Xin quite a lot when he first returned to the palace. Among them, there were a few pieces of fabric of excellent quality that could be used to make clothes. Luo Xueyan also picked a lot of jewelry to dress the two girls up. It was as if she wanted to make the two girls stand out the most among the crowd.

In fact, Luo Xueyan did not do this on purpose. The tribute was a big deal. Ming Qi had to show the most powerful side in front of the State of Qin and the Daliang Dynasty. All the civil and military officials had to dress luxuriously and not embarrass Ming Qi.
