Yun Lan said: "Miss, how about we wait a little longer?"

Shen Mi sighed, "The Qionghua Banquet won't be long. I'm afraid I can't wait. I'll write another letter and you can send it to Yishui."

Yun Lan nodded: "Yes, Miss."

As he spoke, Shen Mi picked up his pen, wrote a letter and handed it to Yun Lan before going to bed.

……

The next day, it was just dawn.

The sound of birds chirping came from the yard.

Su Rong got up very early in Shen Yu's yard and practiced some movements taught by Yun Lan.

When Shen Yu got up, he saw Su Rong practicing very hard, so he simply pulled out a spear and started sparring with him.

Su Rong is still a child now. If he wants to fight in the battlefield in the future, it is not too late to practice now.

Shen Mi's purpose in saving Su Rong was naturally to make Su Rong half a member of the Shen family.

In the future, he will follow his second brother to the military camp of his uncle, General Sima Jiang Xuan.

In this way, if Su Xun really planned for the prince and gave him advice.

Even if he wanted to do something to Jiang Xuan and the soldiers, Su Xun had to consider that his younger brother was in Jiang Xuan's tent.

Su Rong's life was saved by Shen Mi, so naturally he had to listen to her in everything.

In the previous life, Jiang Xuan and a hundred thousand soldiers died at Jiajing Pass. Shen Mi didn't want such a thing to happen again in this life.

The purpose of saving Su Rong is to restrain his brother Su Xun in the future.

The lotus flowers in Lanyue Courtyard are in full bloom.

The chirping of birds woke Shen Mi up.

She slowly opened her eyes and it was already daybreak.

Qinghe's voice came from not far away.

"Miss, Miss, Eunuch Zhang from the palace is here and is in the front hall."

"The master asked the young lady to dress up and go out for a while."

Shen Mi frowned slightly and had just put on her clothes when Yun Lan pushed the door open.

"Miss, the imperial edict has arrived."

Shen Mi naturally knew that it was His Majesty's imperial edict.

Having issued an imperial decree does not mean that you must go to the Eastern Palace.

She put on her clothes, did her makeup, and went to the front hall with her two maids.

In the front hall, Old Madam Shen was sitting in her seat, chatting with Eunuch Zhang, who had a smile on his face.

Eunuch Zhang held the hot tea, raised his orchid finger, and said with a smile: "This Second Miss Shen is so lucky. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went through a lot of trouble to marry her."

When Shen Mi arrived at the front hall, what he heard was what Eunuch Zhang said.

When Eunuch Zhang saw someone coming, he immediately put down the teacup in his hand.

He stood up with a smile on his face and looked Shen Mi up and down for a moment.

"Hey, Princess."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince has a good eye. Second Miss Shen is stunningly beautiful. No wonder she was chosen to enter the Eastern Palace."

Shen Mi pursed her lips and smiled slightly, then glanced sideways and saw Shen Shu sitting on a chair, holding a cup of tea, her fingernails digging into the flesh.

Eunuch Zhang said: "Now that everyone is here, everyone in the Shen family should accept the order."

Everyone in the front hall knelt down immediately to receive the order.

"In compliance with the will of Heaven, the Emperor proclaims that Shen Mi, the second legitimate daughter of Marquis Pingyang, who is gentle and generous, chaste and naturally obedient, and of a virtuous character, is to be canonized as the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace, and the Imperial Astronomical Observatory shall select an auspicious day for the wedding."

After Eunuch Zhang finished reading the imperial edict, he handed it to Shen Mi.

"Second Miss Shen, please accept the order."

Shen Mi's expression was calm as he took the imperial edict.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

She held the imperial edict and felt it was extremely heavy.

Last time, my sister and the King of Qi were granted marriage, and she tried every possible means to get His Majesty to revoke the decision.

This time, she had to find a way to get His Majesty to cancel the engagement.

Shen Shu knelt beside her, her fingernails digging into her flesh in anger. She couldn't swallow that anger, so she went straight back to Mingxiangyuan.

Shen Li, Shen Feng and Shen Yu all noticed that Shen Mi was unhappy.

Of course, Marquis Pingyang also saw it.

Pingyang Hou said: "Mi'er, go to the study with Daddy."

When Shen Mi followed Marquis Pingyang to the study, Marquis Pingyang signaled the guards to close the study door.

In the room, Shen Mi placed the imperial edict on the table.

"Dad, I don't want to marry into the Eastern Palace."

Marquis Pingyang sat at the desk, looking at her calmly.

"Mi'er, do you really like King Rui?"

"Now that the imperial edict has been granted by Your Majesty, how can it be rejected?"

"Even if it's King Rui, he can't do anything."

Shen Mi smiled bitterly and looked up at Marquis Pingyang.

"My daughter once said that if I entered the East Palace, I would be dead."

"My daughter once dreamed of the miserable scenes in the East Palace."

"My limbs were broken, my child was bled to death, and I was also poured with hot oil by the servants of the East Palace."

"Dad, I don't want to marry the prince."

Hearing Shen Mi's words, Pingyang Hou frowned slightly and looked at her in disbelief.

"What did you say? Your dream?"

Shen Mi nodded, "Yes."

Pingyang Hou sighed, "Mi'er, it's just a dream, why do you take it seriously?"

"Last time in Fanlou, Prince Rui let my father go because of your soft-heartedness. Now the Crown Prince and the Queen have also become suspicious of me."

"If you marry into the East Palace, maybe you can dispel their concerns."

"If you don't want to go to the East Palace so early, Daddy will ask His Majesty to ask the Imperial Observatory to postpone the wedding date."

Shen Mi bit her lip and looked at Marquis Pingyang.

"Dad, can it be delayed for a year or two?"

If he could kill the prince within a year or two, he would be free.

At the seat, Pingyang Hou saw that Shen Mi's eyes were red.

He sighed and said, "Dad will try to tell His Majesty that this year's horoscope conflicts and they can't get married, so postpone it until next year."

"Although you and Prince Rui have a conflict, he hates our Shen family after all, and Prince Rui is too dangerous and not suitable for you."

Shen Mi raised her eyes and looked at Marquis Pingyang.

"Dad, the prince is not as gentle as he appears to be."

"Our Shen family will be destroyed because of him sooner or later. Why doesn't Dad choose another way out?"

Pingyang Hou tightened his grip slightly and turned his head to look at Shen Mi.

"You are still a girl. You should not get involved in this fight for the throne."

"Daddy knows that you like Prince Rui, but he is not a good match after all. Moreover, the prince is not what you think."

"Murong Che is a wild man who is hard to tame. You can't tame him."

No matter what Shen Mi said, his father's impression of the prince was already deeply rooted.

As long as Daddy goes and talks to His Majesty to postpone the wedding date for a year or so, so that she can marry the prince later, there will be a turning point in this matter.

Thinking of this, Shen Mi said: "Dad, since the Queen and the Crown Prince have begun to suspect you, Dad must be careful about everything."

"Father promised his daughter that we would go before His Majesty and ask for the wedding date to be extended for half a year or a year."

"My daughter will let Daddy see clearly who is the one with the most evil intentions."

"My daughter has something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After Shen Mi finished speaking, he turned around, took the imperial edict, and returned to Lanyue Courtyard.

Yun Lan came over and helped her sit down.

Shen Mi sat on the chair with a sullen face, silent.

Is it true that I can't change my fate in this life?

"Miss, now that the imperial decree has been issued, what should we do?"

Shen Mi said: "It's just an imperial decree."

"The three books and six ceremonies, the phoenix crown and bridal robe, all of which are missing, don't count."

"Everything can still turn around."

Yun Lan sighed.

"The situation on the border is tense right now, and I'm afraid the general hasn't received the letter yet."

"It will take at least three months to send a letter from Yanjing City to the border."

"I don't know what the general would think if he knew you had granted the marriage to the prince."

Shen Mi's eyes darkened. "The war situation at the border is tense. Don't send letters, so as not to disturb my uncle."

Yun Lan nodded: "Miss, are we still going to Wangjing Tower today?"

Shen Mi said: "Of course I will go."

"Su Xun is good at strategy and has talent. He will definitely be a rare talent in the future."

"If he holds a high position in the future, he will definitely be a useful person."
