The soft-waisted princess was pinched and pampered by the ascetic prince after her rebirth

Chapter 198

"If anyone loses the bet, on my grandmother's birthday, I will kowtow all the way from the street to the general's mansion and yell at me for being a fool."

Shen Rumeng firmly believed that Shen Mu could not win this time, but Shen Ruzhou was so sure that he wanted to gamble on this matter, so he couldn't help but hesitate.

"Childish! I won't bet on this with you. If you lose, you will make a fool of yourself in public and the entire Shen family will be embarrassed!"

Shen Ruzhou laughed and said, "Kowtow to my grandmother on her birthday. This is filial piety. How can it be embarrassing? Do you not want to be filial to your grandmother, or do you dare not bet with me?"

"I am..." Shen Rumeng was aroused and her heart changed, "I'll bet with you! Anyway, you will only lose, so just wait and kowtow!"

Shen Rumeng left a harsh word and left.

Yao also felt in her heart that Shen Mu could not win this time, but she still said kindly on her face: "Princess, you are a sister, don't always get angry with your sister, your father will definitely be fine, don't get too angry."

After that, Mrs. Yao said goodbye to Mrs. Shen and left.

After the mother and daughter left, Shen Ruzhou sat down calmly and checked Mrs. Shen's pulse.

Mrs. Shen coughed heavily for a while, and as soon as she calmed down, she couldn't wait to ask: "Zhu Zhu'er, you just said that your father will come back safely, win the battle, and return in triumph. Is it true?"

Shen Ruzhou raised his eyes to look at the old lady, and saw that the old lady had a sick look on her face, as if she had aged ten years, and there was distress in her eyes.

"Of course it's true. When did your granddaughter lie to you?"

Mrs. Shen's brows finally relaxed, "Grandma believes in you, grandma believes in you..."

After saying that, the old lady couldn't help coughing heavily again. Shen Rulan helped her calm down and asked: "Ruzhou, how is grandma?"

Shen Ruzhou took back his hand and wrote the prescription, "It's liver qi stagnation caused by the rush of fire attacking the heart. I'll prescribe a medicine and let grandma drink it for a few days and it will be fine."

She wrote the prescription and called the little maid to buy the medicine.

"Grandma, don't be too emotional lately, otherwise this disease will be fatal. You should rest for a while and wait until the medicine is better before you get up and drink it."

Mrs. Shen lay down obediently and looked at Shen Rulan's red and swollen cheeks with sorrow, "Zhuzhu'er, remember to put some medicine on Sister Rulan's face."

The palms and backs of her hands were full of flesh. She couldn't bear to scold Shen Rumeng harshly, but she also felt sorry for Shen Rulan. It was right for Ruzhou to teach Rumeng a lesson.

Shen Ruzhou responded: "I understand."

After covering Mrs. Shen with a quilt, she went out with Shen Rulan.

Shen Ruzhou took out a bottle of ointment, pulled Shen Rulan to sit down, looked at Shen Rulan's face carefully, and frowned.

"That Shen Rumeng really deserves a spanking! I should have slapped her more just now!"

Shen Rulan smiled and patted her, "That's all, it's not worth getting angry for someone like her."

Shen Ruzhou took a little ointment and melted it in the palm of his hand, then gently applied it to Shen Rulan's cheek. Shen Rulan couldn't help but gasp.

"If my brother sees this, he will definitely feel distressed," Shen Ruzhou sighed, "When he comes back, let him avenge you!"

Shen Rulan tugged at the corner of her mouth and gave a bitter smile, "Ruzhou, you just said that your father would come back safely, were you trying to coax your grandmother?"

Shen Ruzhou sounded very confident, "Everything I say is true, believe me."

Shen Rulan's eyes were still worried, "Then Chu Mu..."

"My brother will be fine too."

In her previous life, her brother escaped unscathed from this battle, but her father was slightly injured. But this time there is medicine to treat it, so the wound should not be serious. When the battle is over and they return in triumph, the injury should be healed. about there.

Seeing Shen Ruzhou's vow, Shen Rulan felt a little more at ease, but she asked with some confusion: "But Ruzhou, how do you know what's happening on the front line?"

Shen Ruzhou blinked, "The secret must not be revealed."

Shen Rulan didn't ask any more questions. She couldn't help but sigh when she remembered just now.

"The war on the border is severe, and everyone is looking forward to winning the war. My grandmother is so worried that she fell ill. The second wife usually talks about being kind, but when something goes wrong, not only does she not take care of her, she even bothers to quarrel in front of the bed, which is annoying, but There’s nothing you can do.”

"There are also those people in the court who are talking nonsense and talking about my father... Ruzhou, don't take it to heart."

Shen Ruzhou listened to Shen Rulan's words but was unusually silent. After applying the medicine to Shen Rulan, she got up and turned her back to wash her hands.

She knew in her heart that her second uncle's family was a poor family, but her father valued brotherhood. If her second uncle didn't do something excessive, her father would never break up with him.

In the court, there were many people from different political parties who were looking forward to something happening to their father.

My father had never taken any side for many years. In the ever-changing court situation, he was the target of public criticism. Just like in his previous life, no one in the court came to my father's aid, which ultimately led to his father and brother dying in battle.

She suddenly had a very strong impulse. Not only did she want a divorce, she wanted money, she also wanted power!

Resurrecting her life is really a great gift from God. She can't just use it to avenge her previous life.

Her father and brother were talented and ambitious, and it was his lifelong wish to protect the people and the country.

But neither father nor brother are smooth people. They can't avoid the overt and covert fights in the court, but they are not good at it. The best outcome is just to disband and return to work.

But if she can be an official, have power, and her words have weight, she can help them mediate court battles, and her father and brother will be able to rely on them.

Shen Ruzhou suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Rulan with bright eyes, "Sister Rulan, I want to be an official."

Shen Rulan was stunned for a moment, then held her cheek and chuckled, "What kind of hysteria are you having?"

Shen Ruzhou looked sincere, "I'm serious."

Shen Rulan was surprised, "But you know, women cannot be officials."

Women rarely appear in public, even in business, let alone as officials.

Shen Ruzhou smiled, "Nothing is impossible."

That’s not possible now. Wouldn’t it be okay if there was a new emperor and new etiquette and laws were enacted?

In his previous life, Beixiuyan rebelled. No matter what he was for or what purpose he had, he was a very powerful person. He treated talented people equally, regardless of gender, and he would be a wise king.

If he ascends to the throne in this life, the system of women not being allowed to take imperial examinations or serve as officials may be broken.

Bei Xiuyan wants to be the emperor, she will help him, promote him to the throne, and open up a new path for herself, her father and brother...

At the same time, Xiao Chenyan had arrived at the palace.

He first called a young eunuch, told him to inform the Supreme Emperor about Heli, and then went straight to the imperial study.

Emperor Yong'an sat in front of his desk, holding a cup of tea and sipping it, very leisurely.

"Queen, this tea is really good."

The queen stood aside, elegant and luxurious in purple palace attire, holding a round fan, and fanned Emperor Yong'an herself.

"The tea here is good, Your Majesty."

"That's right, the Yunwu tea brought as tribute from Jiangning has a pure taste and a refreshing fragrance. If the queen likes it, she will ask Cao Dehai to send you a few boxes later."

The queen responded with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this time, the eunuch hurried in and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Queen, King Wu Cheng asks to see you."

Emperor Yong'an said, "Let him come in."

The eunuch immediately agreed, and after a while, Xiao Chenyan stepped into the palace, knelt down in front of the emperor and empress with a tall and straight figure, and saluted: "My son, I see my father, the emperor, and my mother."

"Get up." Emperor Yong'an put down the tea cup in his hand, and the smile on his face faded.

Xiao Chenyan straightened up, but did not stand up. He knelt straight on the ground.

"Father, I don't want to reconcile with the princess, please take back the emperor's order..."
