Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Shen Yangyang Also Wants to Learn!

Shen Hua no longer troubles her, and after succeeding, slowly withdraws her hand: "It will take some time for the Turkic envoy to arrive in Shengjing, and their stay might be even longer. Let’s see. A fine princess, not staying in her own territory, what could it be if not a marriage alliance?"

Securing a marriage alliance after the Qin and Jin states is more important than the diplomatic relations between the two countries. The Turkic sending their most favored princess clearly shows their sincerity.

And there are many benefits to a marriage alliance.

Soldiers weary from warfare, the two countries speaking peace, the people will no longer be displaced, and there will be no more smoke of gunpowder.

Why would Emperor He refuse?

Shen Hua: "Among the princes in the palace, there’s only the Second Prince, Third Prince, and Seventh Prince who are not yet married."

"However, the Second Prince is foolish, the Third Prince is abandoned, and the Seventh Prince lacks the Holy Favour. None seems to be the best candidate in the Emperor’s eyes."

If the chosen candidate is not suitable, the Turkic side might not be satisfied either.

Shen Hua casually said: "Looking around the court, there are not a few outstanding ministers, presumably one will be chosen from among them."

"I am not familiar with the court’s situation here in Shengjing, nor do I know many young men, but Princely Heir Xie of Duke Fu’s Mansion and Marquis Cui of Marquis Yangling Mansion are likely in the Emperor’s list of considerations."

Talking about this, Ninglu got excited again.

"These two are the most desired young men by the women in Shengjing; if they end up married to the Turkic Princess who suddenly appeared, many girls would be heartbroken enough to tear their handkerchiefs."

Thinking of this scene, Shen Hua felt somewhat amused.

No matter how beautiful the Turkic Princess is, can she compare to Yan Mi?

But on second thought, Yan Mi is fond of Xie Xun, and Xie Xun is a fine young man. If the two pair up, it would also create a good marriage alliance.

As for Cui Yun...

"Marquis Cui is a favored individual before His Majesty, usually receiving all sorts of care from him, and this time he might also be considered a priority."

She stands and speaks without a hint of discomfort: "What’s wrong with making some sacrifices for the sake of the country and its people?"

Others want to marry the Turkic Princess, but can’t!

Yingwu also couldn’t care less about eating anymore.

"No way! The Turkic people are uninhibited in love, and that princess has a deep relationship with her brother. She’s not a proper choice for a respectable clan woman."

Shen Hua: ???

Wow, wow!

Is that really the case?

She brings a small stool with stars in her eyes, sitting down before the restrained Yingwu. The girl soft and warm, with clear, bright black eyes eagerly looking at her.

Yingwu: ???

Shen Hua hurriedly urges: "Keep talking."

This is a strangely developing situation.

Yingwu struggles: ... "A saying contrary to moral norms circulates among the Turkic, ’father dies, marry mother; brother dies, marry sister-in-law.’ This princess was born by the Turkic King and his sister-in-law."

"She is considered a sibling to the Turkic Crown Prince, but before this, the Crown Prince repeatedly beseeched his father King to marry the princess as his wife."

This behavior is very Turkic.

But of all the princesses under the King’s knee, only this one is the most beautiful and presentable. Naturally, she must be kept for a marriage alliance."

Shen Hua gained some utterly useless knowledge again. She digests it with satisfaction for a moment.

Wait a second!

Shen Hua squints: "You seem to know a lot about the Turkic secrets!"

Yingwu: "I know quite a bit, here in Shengjing, who does the lady wish to inquire about?"

Shen Hua’s hostility is dispelled by the intrigue.

She fiddles with her handkerchief: "Really?"

Yicui stomps: "Miss Shen! She’s a thief! A thief!"

If she can share gossip, Shen Hua accepts it.

She smiles ambiguously, her gaze wandering outside through the half-open door, where a snippet of grey-brown robe is inadvertently left.

When Yicui and the others came over, they made quite a commotion; two followers chased after hearing the noise, but upon seeing Yingwu, they decided to wait outside.

Their reactions are not normal!

Shen Hua: "Do you really think Nanny Cheng has subdued her? I fear even three more Cheng Guis wouldn’t be a match for her."

No sooner had Shen Hua spoken than Yingwu casually lifted a hand and pointed, causing the normally forceful Nanny Cheng’s arm to go numb, inadvertently loosening her grasp.

Nanny Cheng: ?

Yicui: ???

Ningzhu: ???

Shen Hua continues with starry eyes.

Wow, wow!

"Can you teach me this move?"

So impressive!

Shen Yangyang wants to learn too!

Yingwu: "Miss Shen does not have the innate talent for martial arts. I, Yingwu, am specially ordered by the Marquis to protect Miss Shen thoroughly. If Lady doubts it, you can call those two people in to ask."

Zhou Quan didn’t see, but quite a bit of the kitchen’s food was indeed missing.

It was already enough that Cui Yun had sent attendants, yet he suddenly sent more, and by the looks of it, those two attendants had to follow Yingwu’s orders.

Clearly, the matter was not simple.

She couldn’t help but wonder, is it related to the soldiers outside, or...

Was the Turkic marriage alliance deliberately released by the court to cover something up?

Shen Hua’s fingertips trembled. The kitchen started having less food from New Year’s Eve night.

And on that day, something happened...

It was... Cui Rong.

Shen Hua felt a surge of emotions, yet spoke very calmly: "You are very skilled?"

Yingwu with a slight pride: "I rank fifth among the Shadow Guards under the Marquis."

"So, you deliberately let Nanny Cheng catch you?"

Speaking of this, Yingwu also felt helpless.

As a Shadow Guard, she naturally protects from the shadows, and would not have appeared otherwise.

She felt somewhat wronged: "Hungry."

"When Miss Shen goes out, I can buy some food on the street; if Miss Shen doesn’t go out, I just head to the kitchen."

Wherever Shen Hua is, there she is.

Yingwu gritted her teeth: "Yesterday, Ni Kang came and took away all the breakfast, shamelessly ate the lunch too! I didn’t manage to get the dinner from the kitchen in time, and all the beggars on the street begged it away!"

"Rather than starving, it’s better to show up and scrounge for a meal."

How tragically spoken.

The Shadow Guards under Cui Yun are resplendent, yet here they have to starve.

Shen Hua fell silent.

She glanced at Yingwu.

"You really have it tough, huh."

Yingwu melancholically: "There are still two pork knuckles in the kitchen, if Miss pities me, please reward them all to me."

Shen Hua withdrew her sympathy in a second.

"That’s not acceptable."

Yicui and Nanny Cheng hurried to the kitchen to send some food to Yingwu.

Meanwhile, Shen Hua very casually faked a cough. She hypocritically and pretentiously picked up a cup of tea, blew on it lightly. Sipped once, leaving a lingering fragrance in her mouth.

"Can I really inquire about anything regarding Shengjing?"

Yingwu understood.

After all, countless people have asked her about Cui Yun’s girl.

She started speaking as if she could go on for days and nights.

"Apart from the Marquis’s private matters, I can tell nothing. Does Lady want to hear about the cases Marquis has cracked, or the Marquis..."

Shen Hua puzzled: "Why are you telling me about him?"

"I wanted to ask about Xie Xun."

Yingwu stifled a laugh. Thinking hard, she really didn’t understand why Shen Hua bypassed Cui Yun to inquire about Xie Xun. She finally said sincerely.

"Oh, Heir Xie is also not bad. Compared to the Marquis, he can’t be praised much."

I got it, I got it!

Shen Hua: "Then praise me."

Yingwu pressed her lips together, staying silent.

Praise you for being delicate?

Even when desperately tired at night, you must get up and apply ointment all over?

Or praise your acting skills?

Enjoying your widowhood while carrying a pregnancy?
