Chapter 124: Prince Rui

Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan entered the Palace with Shen Qiu and did not return until in the afternoon. Emperor Wen Hui had restored their official position, and also returned the military tally to Shen Xin. The Shen family's army which was integrated with the Yu Ling's Army went back into Shen Xin's hands, but Shen Xin did not look happy about it.

Pain was something that could cultivate one's willpower and determination. In the arduous environment of the Xiao Chun City, to train the scattered like sand Luo family's army, to become an outstanding one, Shen Xin became even more indifferent by either gain or loss of Imperial favour. Towards Emperor Wen Hui's tactic of slapping in the face then giving a sweet date, he did not show much reaction to it.

On the contrariwise not long after Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan entered the Palace, the Shen residence sent someone to Shen Miao to invite her back for a visit. Shen Miao was too lazy to care about those people, and directly instructed the servants to treat them as if they were not there. After the Shen residence's people who came to notify waited for so long without a reply, they indicated that it was just a misunderstanding in the beginning, but by the end they started scolding Shen Xin and wife as cold, ruthless and unfilial descendants. Luo Ling frowned when he heard this and as Luo Tan had an impulsive character, she immediately rushed to the doors and scolded the Shen residence's people fiercely. Luo Tan grew up in the Xiao Chun City debating with the young ladies, so naturally she was incomparably crafty with her words, and spoke of how the Shen family's people threw stones when one was down until those people from the Shen residence were flushed with anger. Finally they could not withstand the surrounding commoners' fingers of blame, and fled with their tails between their legs.

After Shen Xin and the rest returned, Shen Miao informed him of the matter. Shen Xin was silent for a moment before waving his hands, and instructing Mo Qing to arrange more guards in the residence's doors in the future. He did not give any emotion and was iron blooded. This was exactly aligned with Luo Tan's perspective, and she clapped her hands in cheer.

Luo Xue Yan said during the meal, "The tribute will be held three days later and we all have to enter the Palace. For the afternoon, one had called a tailor to come and make some new clothes. Especially Tan-er and Jiao Jiao, we were not in the Ding capital for two years, and do not know what style or fabric is currently fashionable. One cannot fall behind on it." When she said to the end, she saw Shen Miao's gaze was very satisfied. Shen Miao had a reputation of being called an idiot by everyone two years ago but now after two years, Shen Miao had already shed one's mortal body and exchanged one's bones. She was so beautiful and elegant, and coupled with her bearing, one fear that even Princesses would feel a third inferior.

"Entering the Palace!" Luo Tan was somewhat excited, "That one can see the people in the Palace. Is it that one can also see the people from the Qin country and the Great Liang? I heard that the Qin country's people are born tall and huge and the Great Liang's Imperial family are incomparably beautiful. One do not know how many can one see this time?"

Luo Xue Yan laughed in spite of oneself, "Our Ming Qi's people are not bad too. If Tan-er admire any gentleman in the tribute banquet, GuMu and GuFu can help you to inquire."

When Luo Tan heard about the topic of her lifetime even, she was not even the slighted shy and even said, "I am not in a rush, but Biao Youngest Sister had to seriously consider. Biao Youngest Sister was not interested in those people in the Xiao Chun City, and there are much more noble gentlemen in the Ding capital. If Biao Youngest Sister is interested, one must first consider for yourself." She mischievously smiled at Shen Miao.

Shen Miao swept her a glance and did not speak but it was Luo Ling, who was sitting at the side, whose hands that were holding the chopsticks tightened, and his eyes were somewhat hesitant.
