Shen Qinglan glanced back, seeing that the beautiful ladies were about to come out, she hurried towards the palace gate.

Zhao Shun took her hand and asked with a smile, "What's the hurry?"

"The show girls are about to come out. If everyone knows that you are doing this draft, it is just a formality, and it will not be good for your reputation."

"My Sisi is really a virtuous wife. Before she even entered the house, she knew she felt sorry for her officials, but do you think your prince would care about this?"

Zhao Shun said and patted her head.

That's great, from now on she can touch her head as much as she wants.

Shen Qinglan walked away quickly and continued to walk towards the palace gate.

Zhao Shun chased after him, thinking that this end is really not easy to touch.

"Sisi, wait for me... how about I ride you back on horseback? That's faster." Zhao Shun said.

"No, I'll just go back by myself."

Shen Qinglan glanced back, and those show girls had indeed noticed the two of them.
-
In the Shoukang Courtyard of the Shen Mansion, the elders of the Shen family had already learned that Shen Qinglan was about to become the royal concubine. Except for Shen Qingshi, everyone was surprised.

Yu Yinghui took Shen Yan's arm and said incredulously: "Our family, Sisi, is going to be a princess?"

Shen Yan was overjoyed, "As expected of my daughter, Shen Yan, she is promising!"

Mrs. Tai frowned, her face was full of worry, "Although being a princess is considered a glorious family, but our Sisi... I don't know if she is willing or not."

……

When Shen Qinglan returned to the Shen Mansion, all the servants were congratulating her.

Entering the Shoukang Hospital, the grandmother in the main seat looked worried, the second elder brother was calm and breezy, the elder uncle had a sad face, the elder aunt was smiling but could not see the joy, the tears of the mother were not yet dry, but Father, cheerfully happy for her.

"Sisi sends greetings to all the elders."

Shen Qinglan saluted, and her grandmother stood up leaning on a cane, and asked, "Sisi, do you want to be a princess?"

She smiled, and the answer was self-evident.

Grandma sat down again, and sighed, "I'm afraid that if we are a small family, we will marry into the palace and have to deal with various officials and family members. Those people will look down on you."

"So what? Those people will only talk about it behind their backs. If someone dares to ridicule in person, my granddaughter will definitely not swallow it." Shen Qinglan said.

"Our family has no power other than money, so what if we offend some important person?" Mother worried.

Shen Qinglan looked at Shen Qingshi, "Isn't there a second elder brother? The spring is about to begin, and the second elder brother's top ranking is just around the corner. My granddaughter is not worried, and the second elder brother will support me in the future."

Shen Qingshi glanced at her and said, "Uh... yes, grandmother, aunt, you don't have to worry."

At this time, Liang Sheng ran into the house, "Going back to masters, three servants from the palace came outside the door, saying that they wanted to deliver an order."

"What?" Uncle stood up, very uneasy in his heart, what's the matter this time?

"Please enter the middle hall, we will go there now." Grandma said.

When we arrived at the middle hall, one of the leading servants took His Majesty's imperial decree and announced that Shen Qinglan was promoted from Pingyang Township Lord to Pingyang County Lord. The elders were shocked again. What's going on?

After the servant left, the grandmother looked at Shen Qinglan and said coldly: "Sisi, come with me."

"Yes……"

I followed my grandmother all the way back to Shoukang Courtyard. After entering the main hall, my grandmother turned her back and said, "Sisi, kneel down."

Shen Qinglan knelt down immediately, and her grandmother turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

"Grandmother, it's because my second brother and I visited the families of the casualties in the capital some time ago, and His Majesty was very happy, so he appointed me as the county lord." Shen Qinglan said.

"Although your grandmother is getting old, she is still not blind or deaf. I heard the decree clearly when I announced it just now, and I know what His Majesty's decree wrote." Grandma sat down on a chair beside her and said: "But If you have lost tens of thousands of family wealth, His Majesty will make you the county lord? If so, if all the merchants and all the ladies of the officials' families do this, then the title of county lord will be everywhere?"

"Grandma, I..."

Shen Qinglan didn't know how to explain it, the grandmother looked at her coldly, and said: "If you still refuse to tell the truth, then the grandmother will love you for nothing, even if you are the county princess or the princess, the grandmother does not have a granddaughter like you .”

"Grandmother! Don't be angry! It's actually because of Zhao Shun... King Bin promised me that as long as I visit the families of these soldiers, he will ask His Majesty to make me the county lord." Shen Qinglan said frankly.

"King Bin...what happened between you and King Bin?" Grandma asked again.

"Back then in Luoping City, my granddaughter was studying at Jing'an Academy. King Bin once asked me to help him find something. After my granddaughter found it for him, he asked His Majesty to let our Shen family go to Fuguang County, Qingyou County and Hebei County. Jin County went to disaster relief. Our Shen family is the richest man. Apart from our family in the entire Luoping city, no other merchants can afford such a big responsibility. At that time, my granddaughter thought that making this deal with him was just because of what I needed. , and then... and then he said that he wanted to marry me..."

After Shen Qinglan explained, her grandmother looked at her with a colder face: "So, you and King Bin secretly..."

"No, no, grandma, my granddaughter is definitely not that kind of person." Shen Qinglan was very anxious, and hurriedly explained: "At that time, King Bin proposed to marry him face to face, but the granddaughter did not agree. Later, the Queen's order was sent to the mansion, and the granddaughter knew that this was actually He did it on purpose, and he was very disturbed. Today, my granddaughter was called to Da Nei, and met with difficulties from several officials and family members. King Bin also arranged for the Lord of Anning County to support me, which prevented those officials and family members from succeeding. Now I finally understand that he is not just talking, he is sincere to his granddaughter." Shen Qinglan said.

Grandma sighed again, "Why have you never mentioned so many things to grandma?"

"Granddaughter... I don't know how to speak."

"You get up first."

"Yes……"

Shen Qinglan got up, her knees were already aching, but her grandmother didn't speak, and she didn't dare to sit down easily.

"Sisi, grandma probably understands what you said. But grandma is puzzled, why does this King Bin have a deep affection for you? In the past two days, grandma has asked people to inquire about him a lot, knowing that he is lustful by nature. He would do this, besides love for sex, could it be because of our Shen family's money?" Grandma said.

"Grandmother, in fact... Although he used to be the young prince of Prince Heng's mansion, he was not valued by Prince Heng, and he was also feared by the prince. It is not true that he is romantic by nature, and he goes out and about. The persecution is pretending to be absurd. As for money, his private property is no less than a few million taels." Shen Qinglan explained.

"A few million taels? He shouldn't, he has the intention of treason..."

"No, His Majesty and the Empress treated him very well, and he was only doing it to protect himself."
