Chapter 431: Lord Shen is ungrateful
When the two came out of the space, only an hour had passed outside. Qi Yunxu was full of strength and refreshed, and all his hidden illnesses and injuries had improved a lot.
"It's really amazing. I feel like I am still as strong as when I was 14 or 15 years old. I can go without sleep for three days and three nights without any problem."
Shen Nanzhi's face darkened: "You endured for three days and three nights? You are risking your life. You are overdrawing your life. Tell me honestly, have you been enduring the pain for a long time?"
If Shen Nanzhi had not stayed in the space when she saved him, his health would not be so good now.
Even so, Qi Yunxu has been working hard during this period and his health is not very good.
"It's not that serious. I'm just a little tired, but I can hold on. Princess, are you concerned about me?"
Shen Nanzhi rolled her eyes at him and said, "I don't care about you. If you die, I will remarry immediately. There are so many good men in this world waiting for my favor."
"Okay, I was wrong. I will tell you if I feel uncomfortable next time. I will never bear it on my own."
Shen Nanzhi's face looked better. "Remember this. Only when we are healthy can we have a future. Otherwise, we have nothing."
"As you command, my princess."
The two washed up and went to the study to handle official business. They were about to go out to the battlefield, and there were countless official business waiting to be dealt with, so they didn't have much time for them to be affectionate.
With Shen Nanzhi's space as a backup, Qi Yunxu had much more confidence in this war. Wars are fought for supplies, and there is no need for long-term supplies. The battle is half won.
There were so many herbs in the space, and Shen Nanzhi sent them all to the Chinese medicine workshop to be made into medicines needed on the battlefield to supply the battlefield needs.
She also asked Awen to find the formula of Baiyao from a large number of medical books. This is a holy medicine for external injuries and can save more soldiers' lives.
……
At the next morning court session, the courtiers found that the Regent was in exceptionally good condition, with a rosy complexion and high spirits, like a teenager, but with something different.
The little emperor's eyes darkened, and he asked jokingly, "Did the emperor uncle take some magic medicine? Why are you so energetic?"
Qi Yunxu didn't think much about it, "My uncle is very happy because of the good news. I plan to get married before I go to war."
The little emperor was very surprised: "Didn't you say before that we would do it after we return from the expedition? Why did the uncle change his mind?"
"I think I'd feel more at ease if I got married. Even though I've already been married to Zongdie, without a ceremony, I feel like something is missing and I'm not doing justice to Nanzhi.
Of course, we should keep everything simple and let the people know that I, Qi Yunxu, married Shen Nanzhi. This will help them to share in our joy and boost morale, killing two birds with one stone."
The little emperor laughed dryly: "If Your Majesty thinks it's good, of course I will bless you. I will send a big gift to Sister Nan Zhi later. I wish you a happy marriage."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The court officials also congratulated Qi Yunxu. The Minister of Rites personally presided over the wedding. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory looked at the date and set it for three days later.
Duke Shen was about to speak but stopped talking. He waited until the court was over, then hurriedly found Qi Yunxu and stopped him, saying, "Regent, you are marrying my daughter without asking for my opinion?"
Qi Yunxu was a little speechless. Even now, he still couldn't figure out the situation and didn't know what to say to him.
"Duke Shen, how do you think I should arrange this? Let Nan Zhi marry you, Duke Shen? Will Princess Anguo agree?"
Lord Shen said, "Of course, she will agree. This is a good thing. My Shen family hasn't had a wedding for a long time. I will prepare a generous dowry for Nan Zhi. She will have everything that others have."
Qi Yunxu: "Don't be so full, do you know how much money is in your Shen family's warehouse? As far as I know, it's all in the hands of the princess, can you make the decision?
It's better to go back and ask clearly, don't make big promises. If you get slapped in the face, you will be the one who will suffer.
Lord Shen, I am really doing this for your own good. Even though we are not relatives, I still treat you as an elder. You really don’t understand my painstaking efforts.”
Duke Shen was sometimes quite stubborn and insisted on his own opinion: "I am a dignified Duke, but I didn't show up for my daughter's wedding. Do I want to save face?"
Qi Yunxu kindly reminded him, "Then you should confirm Nan Zhi's identity first. Is she an illegitimate daughter? A concubine's daughter? Or the eldest daughter of the original wife? This is of great importance. I will not let Nan Zhi suffer any injustice, and I will not let that woman in your family be Nan Zhi's mother. She is not worthy."
Duke Shen's face was gloomy: "I will take care of it."
"Hopefully."
Shen Nanzhi's wedding dress had been prepared long ago, and her dowry was also generous, all prepared by herself. She had plundered the treasure houses of so many corrupt officials, as well as the private treasures of Ruyi Sect. The treasures in her space were more than in the national treasury.
Qi Yunxu was shocked when he saw it. Well, he was too superficial. His family property was not as much as that of his own princess. The princess was really good at making money.
When Shen Nanzhi learned that Duke Shen was still not giving up, he was as speechless as Qi Yunxu. Doesn't this guy have any idea of his situation?
People can't have everything they want. With Princess Anguo's temper, it would be strange if she agreed to give me a dowry.
Not to mention that she would be superior to her daughter Shen Kening and become the eldest daughter of the Shen family. Who could bear to see a good daughter become the second daughter?
Shen Nanzhi didn't even need to think about it to imagine that Duke Shen would be scolded and his family would be in chaos.
Qi Yunxu came back and took her to the house next door. It was originally a duke's mansion. Qi Yunxu exchanged it for another mansion and it was named after Shen Nanzhi. It was her own house.
From now on, all the elders of Shen Qingshan will come and live here. They are all her family members. Nan Zhi does not need the support of Duke Shen. She has earned her dignity by herself and is no worse than any other noble lady.
The identity of the eldest daughter of the Shen family is just icing on the cake for her, it doesn’t matter whether she has it or not.
"You just gave me such a big house? Isn't that against the rules? Even if I'm the eldest daughter of the Shen family, I can't live in such a big house. This is a standard only for dukes."
"It's okay. I'll have someone divide the house into three parts so that there won't be any usurpation. Rules are dead, but people are alive."
Qi Yunxu is still so treacherous. He had already considered this. Shen Nanzhi laughed: "If the censors find out, they will be furious again. You are the leader in taking advantage of this."
"Don't you always say that if you don't use your power, it will expire? I am at the peak of my career now, and people will praise me for everything I do. When I get into trouble, people will come to take advantage of me. I might as well enjoy myself now."
"You are quite open-minded. By the way, I just read the intelligence and found something very interesting, which is related to Princess Anguo. If she insists on causing trouble for me, I can give her a big gift."
Shen Nanzhi smiled sinisterly, Qi Yunxu shrugged, hoping that Princess Anguo would know what to do.
