"I don't care, I must marry him!" From a young age, she had grown up with Shen Xi Jun's stubborn and rebellious personality. The more Princess Pingyang opposed it, the more she would insist.

"You!" Princess Pingyang acted as though he wanted to slap his, but in the end, he was unwilling to do so. He bitterly retracted his hand and coldly said: "In short, I will not agree to this matter!"

Shen Xi Jun ignored her, and only shook Empress Dowager Wei's hand, begging her, "Aunt, you have always doted on Xi Jun the most, this concerns Xi Jun's happiness in her life, you will definitely grant it right?"

"Empress Dowager, you …"

Shen Xi Jun was startled for a moment, then said: "The reason why he is rejecting Xi Jun right now is because she is still thinking about the fox spirit of the Nanzhao. Once we get married, he will naturally forget about me and know that I am the one he should love."

"What if he never forgets?"

This time, it was only after a long time that Shen Xi Jun finally spat out one word, "No."

"Xi Jun, you are the child that Wailing Home dotes on. This Wailing Home does not wish for you to be impulsive and do something that orders you to regret for the rest of your life. Therefore, this marriage, this Wailing Home will not grant you."

Hearing this, Princess Pingyang heaved a sigh of relief, but Shen Xi Jun refused to let it go. He fiercely gritted his teeth and stubbornly said, "Xi Jun will not regret this, I beg Aunt to grant me the marriage!"

The more things she couldn't get, the more she had to get them!

Empress Dowager Wei's expression turned cold, and said coldly: "This matter has been decided, so there is no need to say anymore!"

"Aunt …" Shen Xi Jun still wanted to beg, but Yin Qiu had already walked over and whispered, "The matter that the empress dowager has decided on will not be changed. It's better for you to get up, Zongji."

Seeing that Shen Xi Jun did not say anything, Yin Qiu thought that she had listened to him. She reached out to support him, but did not expect him to push her away so easily.

Seeing her like this, the Princess Pingyang was both angry and worried, afraid that she would anger the Empress Dowager Wei. Although the latter was her blood related eldest sister, it was still a different story for her.

Faced with Shen Xi Jun's silent protest, Empress Dowager Wei did not reveal any anger. She lowered her eyes for a while, and then said indifferently: "Half a year, if you insist on marrying King Rui like this half a year from now, Wailing Home will grant you a marriage for both of you."

After saying that, the two people in the hall were surprised and happy, the happy was naturally Shen Xi Jun, "Aunt, is what you said true?"

"When did Wailing Home lie to you?" Saying that, she caressed Shen Xi Jun's cheeks that still had tears on them, "Alright, get up."

This time, Shen Xi Jun did not refuse, and got up with her skirt raised, "Thank you Aunt."

The Empress Dowager Wei laughed and said to Yin Qiu: "Has the rain stopped outside?"

Yin Qiu opened the window to take a look, and said: "Reporting to the empress dowager, it's almost stopped. There's still a little bit of starlight drizzle falling."

Empress Dowager Wei slightly nodded, and said to Shen Xi Jun: "Didn't you say that you want to raise a pine lion last time? Wailing Home had asked Ministry of Internal Affairs to find a few, you follow Yin Qiu to take a look, and if there is anything she likes, you can just carry it away."

Once the two of them left, the Princess Pingyang impatiently asked, "Empress Dowager, why did you agree to Xi Jun's request just now? Judging from King Rui's current attitude, once the two of them get married, Xi Jun's entire life would be ruined.

"Wailing Home knows, but you should know Xi Jun's personality better than she does. If you object to it, she will only become more persistent; it would be better to just agree to it, then slowly let her give up on thinking about Su Er."

"That's the only way." After saying that, the Princess Pingyang grumbled: "It's all my fault, King Rui. He doesn't like Xi Jun, why bother provoking him.

Empress Dowager Wei looked at her with disdain: "Look at what you're saying, it's not like you don't know Su Er's personality, why would she take the initiative to provoke Xi Jun, I think that Xi Jun fell for it herself."

Princess Pingyang knew that he had gone overboard, but she just could not swallow his anger. Right at this moment, palace maid walked in on the golden bricks that were as smooth as a mirror and bowed, "Reporting to the empress dowager, Grand Concubine Chen is here."

"Key!" The clear and cold voice was not heavy, but it caused Princess Pingyang to shiver. He hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to say another word.

Empress Dowager Wei withdrew her gaze, and said to palace maid who was still waiting in the palace: "Go and invite Grand Concubine Chen in."

"Yes." Not long after, the Chen walked in and held Dong Mei's hand. They stopped in the middle of the hall and placed both of her hands on her waist, bowing respectfully as she said, "I pay my respects to the empress dowager, the empress dowager is extremely fortunate!"

"No need for formalities." When Chen straightened her back, he also kneeled down towards her while holding back her anger. After all, in terms of status, Chen was a lot higher than her.

After ordering someone to give her a seat, the Empress Dowager Wei warmly said: "There's still Xiao Yu, why is little sister here?"

"Reporting to the empress dowager, chenqie … was specially here to apologize to Princess Pingyang and Chang Rong Zong Ji. " With that, she gently said to the cold faced Princess Pingyang: "This child Su Er has a stubborn personality. He said something that he shouldn't have said.

"I don't dare!" The Princess Pingyang said coldly. Although his anger could not flare up, he did not have the face to give the Chen face.

Grand Consort, hmph, still not in her eyes.

Chen didn't treat Princess Pingyang coldly at all, she took the food box from Dong Mei's hands and said gently: "This is Chang Rong's favorite food, the Silver Silk Cake. I brought it over specifically as an apology."

He waited for a long time, but the Princess Pingyang did not send anyone over to take the food, so the Chen could only have Dong Mei take it and place it on the table beside Princess Pingyang.

The Empress Dowager Wei smiled: "It's just that the two children aren't happy for a moment, that's all.

Chen bowed and said: "This matter is indeed Su Er's fault. It is only right to apologize." After saying that, she looked around, and asked with some suspicion: "I wonder where Chang Rong Zong Ji went?"

"Wailing Home asked Yin Qiu to take her to Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose a new pine lion. She wanted to see if there was anything that suited her eye." After pausing for a moment, she continued, "What are you thinking? Since Wailing Home didn't say it, little sister should have guessed it too, Su Er … "Do you really not like it that much?"

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that Su Er doesn't want to get married so soon, so I can only let down on Chang Rong Zong Ji's good intentions."
