NovelEnglish711 Grant a Marriage (2)
“He is trying to use me.” The crown prince smiled and picked up his wine to drink. He smiled and said, “He’s quite bold. Now that Father is suspicious of him, he actually dares to curry favor with me. From the looks of it, we really underestimated him back then.”
“Then what do you think of his suggestion just now about marrying Fifth Miss Shen?” The aide asked.

The aide nodded. “Your Highness, does it mean you agreed?”
The crown prince looked at the wine pot on the table. “In a few days, I’ll personally mention this to Father. After this matter is settled, I’ll reward Ninth Brother’s kindness.”
Just as Fu Xiuyi had expected, a few days later, the crown prince mentioned this matter to Emperor Wen Hui. Emperor Wen Hui did not agree immediately, but he did not reject him either. Instead, he looked at the crown prince meaningfully and said with a smile, “Good. I thought that you weren’t ambitious. You finally know that you should pave the way for yourself.” He then said, “I will consider it.”
After the crown prince left, Emperor Wen Hui said to Eunuch Su, “The crown prince actually wants to marry Shen Miao. I didn’t expect thi.”
Eunuch Su smiled and said, “Miss Shen is talented and good-looking. His Highness has good taste.”
Emperor Wen Hui snorted. “I’m not stupid. Prince Ding must be the one who gave him this idea. I just don’t understand what he is trying to do.”
Eunuch Su was careful not to speak. If he was involved in these family matters of the royal family, it would be no different from putting himself under the guillotine.

With the Shen family behind the crown prince, he can not only keep Prince Zhou and Prince Li in check, but also control the military power of the Shen family. It saves me a lot of trouble. However…” Emperor Wen Hui looked at the book on the table and smiled. He closed the book and stood up. “Let’s go to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility.”
…
When Luo Xueyan received a message from the palace asking her to bring Shen Miao to the palace tomorrow, she was very confused. She thought that it was related to Shen Xin, so she asked him about it, but Shen Xin was also confused. When it came to the royal family, the couple would always be especially careful. However, they didn’t show it on their face, afraid that Shen Miao would be scared.
Although Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan tried their best to make it sound easy, Shen Miao could not relax no matter what. The royal family would definitely not let Luo Xueyan bring her into the palace for no reason. However, she had no clue what was going on this time. Pei Lang had not sent her a letter for a long time. If he sent a letter, she would probably be able to figure out Fu Xiuyi’s next move… Shen Miao’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. That’s right. Why hadn’t Pei Lang sent her a letter for so long?
In the past, even if there was nothing serious, Pei Lang would still keep in contact with her through letters. However, it had been a long time since the last letter came. A thought appeared in Shen Miao’s mind. Could it be that… Pei Lang could no longer write to her? Had Fu Xiuyi discovered something?
Shen Miao felt more and more flustered. Ever since she met that crazy Daoist priest at the Putuo Temple, it was very difficult for her to calm down. She wanted to know who the benefactor was, and she also wanted to know who prayed for her to live her life all over again in her previous life. However, no matter how she thought about it, she could not figure it out.
