It was already midnight when Shen Chen finished talking to Yuan Dong. He led Xuesong and Hanbo out from the back door and took a look at the sky.
Han Bo followed behind a little listlessly. Seeing that Shen Chen was heading towards Phoenix Terrace, he couldn't help but hold Shen Chen and asked him boldly, "Are you not going to Dingbei Marquis Mansion?"
Shen Chen looked back at him and saw that he looked even more nervous than himself, so he couldn't help but laugh: "Why would I go to Dingbei Marquis Mansion in the dead of night?"
But... ...
But if you don’t go now, Princess Shouning will be snatched away by Young Master Lin!
Shen Chen ignored him and quickened his pace, but he did not enter the Phoenix Tower. He did not go in when he arrived at the gate of the Phoenix Tower. He turned a corner and walked through the alley, walked around the canal, and then stopped in front of a house.
Hanbo and Xuesong followed him for most of the night. They didn't know where he was going, but they followed him patiently until Xuesong pulled Hanbo's sleeve and whispered, "We're here."
Han Bo raised his head and saw the vermilion gate of Prince Zheng's Palace.
The stone lion at the door looked majestic, with the red silk tied around its neck fluttering in the wind. Shen Chen quickly walked forward and knocked on the door a few times.
The doorman at the door had already fallen asleep. He was startled when he heard the knock on the door. When he opened the door and saw that it was Shen Chen, he opened his mouth in surprise and quickly passed the message inside.
King Zheng had already gone to bed. He was woken up in the middle of the night. He looked a little tired. He forced himself to wait for Shen Chen to come in before asking him, "What's the matter? Why are you here so late at night?"
Xuesong and Hanbo looked at each other, wondering why their master came here at this time.
It was Shen Chen who spoke up: "I couldn't sleep, so I came to talk to you."
this... ...
King Zheng woke up instantly from his nap, looked at Shen Chen, and asked in disbelief: "What did you just say? Say it again."
I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, so I came to talk to him because I couldn't sleep?!
What are you talking to him about?! He's not a pretty lady!
Xuesong and Hanbo couldn't help but look at each other, resisted the urge to laugh, and lowered their heads silently.
Shen Chen waved his hand, and the two of them automatically retreated to the door.
Only when he got outside did he dare to laugh. Han Bo couldn't help laughing. He couldn't help laughing, and then he quickly covered his mouth and looked at Xuesong: "Did I hear it wrong just now? Is the Marquis crazy?"
You’re making your future father-in-law suffer so much at this late hour. Do you still want to marry his daughter
Xue Song glared at him: "Where do you get all that talk? Shut up!"
Prince Zheng inside didn't know about their joke. He angrily poured a cup of tea for Shen Chen and stood up to go back: "I don't want to chat with you. If you are bored, just drink your tea here slowly. When you want to sleep, go find the housekeeper, or go back."
He doesn't bother to care about him.
Shen Chen didn't, he sighed and asked him: "Can you sleep?"
This is strange, is Shen Chen sick
King Zheng reached out his hand and touched his forehead, then asked him suspiciously, "Are you possessed? Why are you saying these strange things?"
Shen Chen brushed his hand away and said, "Today, Concubine Lin Shu sent Master Xie to the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion."
King Zheng was shocked by his incoherent words and asked in confusion, "And then?"
He really didn't know about this.
Due to the urgent war situation, he was summoned to the palace again today and did not return until dinner time.
Emperor Longqing has already told him that there can be no further delay and he will leave the day after tomorrow.
He prepared some things when he came back, and then planned to go to Dingbei Marquis Mansion the next day to instruct Wei An on some things, and also to say goodbye at the same time.
Now Shen Chen came to him for no reason and said such inexplicable words, so he had to patiently ask again: "Then what, did Xie Siyi go to find An An?"
Shen Chen nodded and asked him: "Don't you know?"
He said, "Master Xie went to propose marriage."
King Zheng almost fell down and asked in shock: "Who are you proposing to?"
Propose marriage
He thought Master Xie was going to talk to Wei An about the matter of Princess Zheng!
How did it get to the stage of proposing marriage
Shen Chen raised his lips and said, "It's a marriage proposal. Master Xie is proposing marriage to Young Master Lin on behalf of Concubine Shu, and wants to ask Wei An's opinion."
King Zheng was stunned for a moment.
He knew that Lou Bing was testing him when he saw him jumping up and down, so he just laughed it off.
But who would have known that it would only be one day before Young Master Lin asked Concubine Shu to make the decision
He coughed and said, "How ridiculous!"
Shen Chen looked at him and said, "So you didn't know?"
Nonsense, how could you know, no one told him that, okay
King Zheng looked at him unhappily, resisting the urge to kick him in the ass, and asked him, "How did you know that?"
Shen Chen coughed calmly: "Listen to what others say."
King Zheng clearly didn't believe it, but he didn't say anything else. He just asked: "If that's the case, why did you come to me? This has nothing to do with you!"
Having said that, he knew how these two guys felt about Wei An, and glanced at Shen Chen.
Shen Chen frowned and said, "It does matter. I also want to marry Wei An."
King Zheng spat out the tea in his mouth with a "Puff", and choked and coughed. He pointed at Shen Chen and asked him: "What did you say? I didn't hear it clearly. Say it again!"
Although the two of them had shown some signs before, they hid it quite well in the end. Both of them were the type of people who were reserved and reserved, and he thought they were holding it in.
But who knows that they can hold it in, but when they can't, these two people will take turns to come out and scare people.
Without any preparation, without anything, he just jumped out to propose marriage in a hurry.
Isn't this progress a bit too fast
Not subtle at all.
Shen Chen restrained his expression, and bowed to King Zheng in plain clothes: "I said, I also want to propose marriage to Wei An. So I couldn't sleep, fearing that you all had already agreed, and it would be inconvenient to go to Dingbei Marquis Mansion, so I had to come to you. Now it seems that since I haven't told you yet, it means that it can't be decided."
King Zheng groaned, lowered his head and muttered, "How come you all got here together?"
They all really came here.
These two are really something.
Shen Chen answered his doubts considerately: "After all, time is running out. You are about to go to Jiangxi to supervise the war, and Wei An is about to go to Fujian. If I don't tell you now, I don't know if there will be another chance in the future, so I want to make it clear in advance."
King Zheng finally reacted, said "oh", then looked at Shen Chen and asked: "So what are your plans?"
