716 Peach Blossom Luck (1)


    The information that the empress suddenly revealed made the Shen family on tenterhooks. Without a doubt, Shen Xin and his wife did not want Shen Miao to marry into the royal family. In addition to many political reasons, it was also because the royal family wasplicated. If Shen Miao married into the royal family, she would have a hard time.


    Shen Xin wanted to marry Shen Miao off before the imperial edict. Originally, before entering the pce, because of Mrs. Su’s sudden arrival, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan started to take Shen Miao’s marriage seriously. Luo Xueyan even asked the servants to specially make a list filled with young talents of the right age in the capital. The list recorded in detail the characters of these people, where they lived, and how many people were there in their family. Luo Xueyan also asked Shen Miao about it. After hearing that Shen Miao did not mind selecting her husband like this, Luo Xueyan was relieved and hurried up.


    The Shen family held a lot of power and was a very special existence in the eyes of Emperor Wen Hui. Therefore, it was not easy for the Shen family to select. Shen Xin did not even consider those officials who were powerful in order to prevent Emperor Wen Hui from thinking that they were deliberately forming an alliance. Therefore, Luo Xueyan and Shen Xin chose those middle-ss families that did not have any ambition.


    This was what Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan nned for Shen Miao. However, to their surprise, whenever Shen Xin showed the slightest intention of introducing his daughter, the other party would decline with a smile, saying that either their son was already engaged or that their son was not in a hurry to get married. Shen Xin had a bad temper and doted on Shen Miao. He couldn’t tolerate others looking down on his daughter, so he left with a huff.


    In the end, those young talents whom Shen Xin was satisfied with all found excuses to decline. Shen Xin sensed that something was wrong, and a general who was on good terms with him told him that most of the officials knew that the royal family wanted Shen Miao to marry the crown prince. Shen Xin was trying to find a husband for his daughter, but who would have the guts to snatch a woman away from the crown prince?


    Even if the Shen family was powerful and Shen Miao was smart and beautiful, no one dared to marry her.


    When Shen Xin heard this, he was furious. He only said that he didn’t expect those noble families to be cowards. Fortunately, he didn’t marry Shen Miao over. How could such a cowardly bunch take care of his daughter?


    When Shen Miao heard what Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang said, she only smiled faintly.


    Jingzhe said anxiously, “Miss, why aren’t you anxious? Madam and Master are both on tenterhooks. At this rate, it’ll be toote when the imperial edict is issued.”


    “The royal family is not stupid.” Shen Miao picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. “How can they not know what Father and Mother are up to?”


    Shen Miao knew from the beginning that Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan’s n would not work. As for how the news of her marrying the crown prince spread, needless to say, it was naturally done by the royal family. The royal family announced to the world that Shen Miao was the person they had chosen. How could the officials of Ming Qi dare to openly go against the royal family to snatch her away? Therefore, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan’s n to let Shen Miao marry off as soon as possible was destined to fail.
