Chapter 236 Marriage Grant
After so many years of waiting, it has become a joke.

Huo Pingping glanced at Xiao Yichen unwillingly and saw that he was looking at the Duke Protector's Mansion with tender eyes. The tenderness in his eyes seemed to make water drop.

Huo Pingping lowered her eyes slightly to hide the hatred in her eyes, and thought angrily in her heart: Humph! It must be that little bitch who used her beauty to seduce her cousin and make him fall deeply in love with her. Let her cousin disobey her aunt for her sake.

She thought she could marry her cousin after winning over him. What a wonderful idea! There are so many high-ranking ladies in the capital who like her cousin. They are all noble and beautiful. How can they be compared to her, a grassroots princess with a mud-legged background?

We’ll see! Those noble ladies would not let her go.

If Shen Jia could hear Huo Pingping's thoughts, he would definitely spit on her face, a grassroots princess? This girl is as beautiful as a flower, has superb medical skills, is strong in martial arts, and has countless wealth. Who can compare with me?
Many noble ladies in the hall stared closely at Shen Jia, poking at him secretly and preparing to find trouble.

At this moment, the sound of the quiet whip sounded, and everyone in the hall immediately sat upright.

Not long after, Emperor Jingwen slowly walked into the hall with his concubines.

Shen Jia raised his eyes and looked around. There were not many women in the emperor's harem, and there were only a few who gave birth to children. Each of these women wore exquisite makeup, either bright, elegant, beautiful, or charming, each with its own merits.

Then he secretly looked at the emperor. He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his hair was bound by a golden jade crown, his temples were gray, his facial features were handsome, and his eyes were deep. He must have been a handsome man when he was young.

However, there was a trace of fatigue on his face, and if you looked closely, there were a few black lines as thin as hair in his eyes.

Shen Jia frowned slightly. There was something wrong with the emperor's health. As for whether there was any problem, he had to take a pulse to find out. It seemed that he would have to tell Xiao Yichen tomorrow.

The emperor seemed to feel something, and looked towards the Duke Protector's Mansion. He saw a beautiful little girl with a slightly frowning brow and a pair of big and lively eyes. She was not as rigid as a noble girl in the capital, and she looked a little playful. , casual, free and easy.

The emperor nodded secretly. The Protector's daughter was indeed as outstanding as he expected. Only such an outstanding woman could be worthy of his good grandson.

"Long live my emperor!" The deafening voice resounded throughout the palace.

The emperor met his darling grandson and his darling grandson's wife today. He was in a particularly good mood. After saying a few words, he asked everyone to sit down.

Then he waved his hand, and Fulu immediately stood up with two volumes of bright yellow imperial edicts.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Since I ascended the throne under the authority of the Supreme Emperor, I have been responsible for all important military and state affairs, employing people and administration... I have appointed Xiao Yichen, the eldest grandson of the emperor, as the grandson of the emperor..."

Xiao Yichen immediately stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed in thanks, and received the imperial edict and treasure book.

The emperor had already consecrated Xiao Yichen as the grandson of the emperor in the court, but he was not present at the time and did not personally confer the title on him, so he came here today.

Fulu glanced at the people in the main hall, cleared his throat, and continued reading the next imperial edict.

"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Princess Shen Jia, who protects the country, is virtuous and generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. I am very pleased to hear that. She is a match made in heaven and earth with the emperor's grandson. In order to achieve the beauty of a beautiful woman, Shen Jia is specially selected to be the wife of the grandson. Concubine..."

Xiao Yichen was ecstatic at first, and then a little worried. He promised Jiajia to give each other three years, and now the emperor suddenly offers them a marriage. I wonder if she will accept it?

Shen Jia looked at the emperor and his mind was confused for a moment. Why did he suddenly make her the grandson concubine? Isn’t there still more than a year left?
As soon as Fulu finished speaking, the whole room was shocked. The first time the emperor met Princess Huguo, he named her the grandson concubine. This is incredible! Doesn’t the royal family have to choose from thousands of children and grandchildren?
Why did he change when he arrived at the Emperor's Grandson? Many ministers were so sad that they had long asked their daughters to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting diligently, hoping that one day they would be favored by the emperor's grandson, and their family would become a descendant and move to the next level.

Now the emperor caught them off guard, and the concubine made her decision. But they quickly cheered up. Didn't they still have concubines to choose from?
Even the sons of concubines can compete with each other, and their daughters also have the same idea as them.

The Crown Princess's mood was extremely complicated. Just now, she said in front of Chen'er that Shen Jia was not worthy of being the Grand Concubine. In the blink of an eye, the Emperor granted them a marriage, and her face was so painful from the slap.

Several princes and their grandfather had made speculations before, and they thought it was a bit unbelievable at the time. With the emperor's love for Xiao Yichen, he would definitely find a powerful in-law family for him, and the Shen family's weak foundation was not suitable at all.

Even though Uncle Qingping is here, she is still unable to compare with other noble ladies despite being separated by one floor.

Now they don't think so.

In addition to her beauty, superb medical skills, and strong martial arts, Princess Huguo must have many other great qualities. She must have been the reason for the loss of those who fell into Xiao Yichen's hands this year!
When they thought of this, they were filled with jealousy. Why hadn't they met such a powerful woman?

Prince An raised his eyebrows and glanced at the princes, with a mocking smile in his eyes. With his brother's strategic thinking of taking one step, looking ten steps, and thinking a hundred steps, if the little girl of the Shen family was just a beautiful woman, , will his royal brother pave the way for her early?
Chen'er was taught by his imperial brother himself. What if she didn't have enough personality charm to conquer him?
It’s definitely impossible!

According to him, this little girl is very powerful! Standing next to Chen'er is no less impressive, Chen'er! What a blessing!
Seeing that Shen Jia had not yet gone up to receive the imperial edict, Mrs. Gu quickly patted her arm gently. And Shen Jia quickly figured out that this should be the emperor's idea.

Since she likes Xiao Yichen and Xiao Yichen also likes her, let's get married!
After Shen Jia figured it out, he quickly stepped forward to receive the imperial edict and kowtowed in thanks!
Xiao Yichen stepped forward, took her hand and saluted the emperor again: "Grandson, thank you, Grandpa Emperor!"

A smile flashed across the emperor's eyes: "Go down! From now on, take Shen Yatou into the palace to accompany me more often."

"Yes."

No matter what everyone thought, the emperor ordered the palace banquet to begin.

The snacks and tea cups were removed from the table, and the maids placed the wine and food on the table in an orderly manner.

Everyone drank and drank, chatting and laughing.

The dancers in the hall lowered their sleeves and sang softly, making the scene very lively.

The dishes at this year's New Year's Eve Palace Banquet are different from those in previous years. Dishes such as peppers, tomatoes, and pumpkins are all included in the New Year's Eve Palace Banquet. All dishes are made with peanut oil and taste better than in previous years.

Therefore, most people have enough to eat this year.

After the emperor saw Shen Jia put down his chopsticks, he asked Fulu to ask her and Xiao Yichen to leave with him.

Seeing that the emperor was gone, several palace concubines also left with their people.

After the emperor left, many people in the hall got up and drank and chatted with their colleagues. Even the former political enemies also called them brothers.
