PNB Chapter 752 The 6th Prince Xiao Tingshan
Chapter 752 The 6th Prince Xiao Tingshan
Shen Shuyi's face froze: "???"
"You... have already become Mr. Xiao's disciple?" Shen Shuyi asked uncertainly, suddenly remembering what Xie Jingchi had just said, that Mr. Xiao accepted a closed disciple half a year ago.
So, that person is my brother...
"Xie Jingchi! You're playing tricks on me!" Shen Shuyi squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, very angry.
Really...she lost a kiss in vain.
It's so shameless!
He clearly knew that his brother had already become Mr. Xiao's disciple, but he still teased him on purpose. When he saw his brother coming over, he ran away.
Shen Shuyi felt so much pain in his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and other internal organs that he just wanted to kill someone.
Shen Shuhan looked at her expression and couldn't help but worry: "But he used this as a condition to coerce you?"
Shen Shuyi glared at him and said, "No, I delivered it to your door myself."
Shen Shuhan: "..."
"You go by yourself to Tutor Wang's place this afternoon. I won't accompany you." Shen Shuyi was embarrassed and annoyed. She was so angry that she took her people back home.
But Xie Jingchi felt that he had provoked her, but he still wanted to hang around in front of her.
As soon as she returned home, Fu Guang sent someone to deliver some wedding dress drawings.
"Princess, our master asks you to take a look at the drawings first. If you like anything, pick it out and he will order someone to make the clothes first."
Shen Shuyi was feeling annoyed at the moment, but when he took the drawing paper and saw the sketches of the clothes, he looked at them one by one and his anger subsided a little.
There were more than ten styles delivered, most of which were from several famous clothing stores in Beijing, and they took a lot of thought to produce.
"Our lord said that if you don't like anything, he will go back and ask His Majesty to ask the palace's clothing bureau to design one for you."
Shen Shuyi: "..."
She was not a palace concubine, nor was she a member of the royal family. How could she be eligible for the palace clothing department to make her a wedding gown?
Xie Jingchi is really arrogant. Even if he is favored by His Majesty, he should not use his face like this.
He is really not afraid of being disliked by His Majesty.
Shen Shuyi looked at them carefully and found that these wedding dresses were too gorgeous. The gems, jade, pearls and agates inlaid on them were jaw-dropping.
Regardless of how heavy it is, it is just a bit ostentatious.
After reading them one by one, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but ask Fu Guang: "Your Majesty's reward to Lord Xie is a lot?"
"Ah?" Fu Guang was stunned and didn't react for a moment.
Shen Shuyi put the drawings aside, thinking that based on Xie Jingchi's style, he not only did not look like a good official, but instead looked like a top corrupt official!
Fu Guang was speechless for a long while, then he reacted and said quickly: "Our master...our master has a lot of private property."
"Doesn't he have no father or mother and no relatives?" Shen Shuyi looked at Fu Guang.
"But...but our adults can run some businesses." Fu Guang stuttered, already sweating a lot.
"What else did he say?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Fu Guang took out a wooden box and presented it with both hands: "Our master said that this is for you, hoping that you will calm down soon."
Shen Shuyi took it and opened the box.
What catches your eye is an exquisite white jade hairpin. What's rare is that the hairpin is a gradient of white to pink. The pink jade is carved into a small iris. Gold wire is used in the center of the flower, and the leaves at the end are complemented by jasper. It is indescribably delicate and beautiful.
Shen Shuyi snorted softly: "Don't think I will forgive him just like this."
Shen Shuyi has already made up his mind that on the wedding night, he will just stay wherever it is cool.

A week later, Shen Shuyi's coming-of-age ceremony was being prepared busily and nervously.
Tong Guan reported to Emperor Qianwu in the palace.
Emperor Qianwu looked at him coldly: "Are you saying that he married the so-called Lin Jingyu for the huge sum of 520,000 yuan that the Qin family knew about?"
"Yes."
"Humph, he is really patient and willing to spend so much on himself." Emperor Qianwu looked unhappy and asked Tong Guan, "Anything else?"
Tong Guan said, "When the Prince Song served the Third Prince, he had suggested killing many court officials. Here is the list..."
Tong Guan submitted the list. It was not his turn to judge whether these court officials were loyal or treacherous, but Emperor Qianwu would have an idea after just one look.
Speaking of which, we also rely on Shen Shuyi's contribution. Otherwise, if Xiao Heyu hadn't died, it would have taken him a lot of effort to investigate all this, and it would have been impossible for him to do it so quickly.
Scanning the list, Emperor Qianwu slapped it on the table and said, "Good, really good!"
The last bit of pity and guilt that Emperor Qianwu had for him also disappeared completely.
A man who disregarded the eyes of the world and lowered himself to marry an ugly woman for money, a man who knew that he was weak but still used torture to frame his stepmother and younger brother, a man who showed off in front of him several times for power, a man who turned his back on his old master after his old master died, a man who couldn't get the person he loved and had to use dirty means, and he was actually his son!
Thinking back on all these incidents, one by one, Emperor Qianwu felt only disgust.
If it weren't for the fear of mixing up the royal bloodline outside, it would be better not to have such a son.
"That's enough. No need to say more. You did a good job and deserve a reward." Emperor Qianwu looked at Tong Guan with admiration in his eyes.
It seems that it was right to set up the Jinyisi. He had been trapped in the palace for a long time and lacked a pair of eyes to monitor all officials.
These eunuchs cannot have descendants, nor can they marry and have children.
Therefore, the biggest reliance can only be on yourself.
This time, Tong Guan made him look at him in a different light.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The next day, Emperor Qianwu announced in public at the morning court that Song Tingshan was the sixth prince who was living abroad.
Back then, Lady Chengguo of the Duke's family switched her son with the Sixth Prince during the chaos, and she deserves death for her crime.
However, considering that he had passed away for many years and that the Duke's Mansion had been very kind to Song Tingshan in raising him, the title of the Duke's Mansion was taken back.
Song Tingshan was in the hall, listening to the imperial edict being read out, he was completely confused.
Six princes?
How did His Majesty know this...
Before he could do anything else, His Majesty knew everything?
For a moment, Song Tingshan felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, but he couldn't help feeling excited.
He was both uneasy and terrified by Emperor Qianwu's power and he wondered how much this stern emperor actually knew.
But he couldn't help but start fantasizing about the future.
In just one night, he was transformed into a person of royal blood and became the son of the most noble person in the world!
Most of the court officials had not heard of this matter, and they were talking about it for a while.
Fortunately, the evidence Tong Guan presented was sufficient to leave no room for doubt. As several veteran ministers examined the details, Song Tingshan's identity was finally recognized.
Emperor Qianwu looked at Song Tingshan who was kneeling below him, and said in a gentle tone: "Stand up, you have suffered a lot over the years. From now on, you will change your surname to Xiao, and you will be the son of me and Concubine Yao, Xiao Tingshan."
Song Tingshan was still a little dazed, and acted extremely shocked and unbelievable. After a while, he said respectfully: "Thank...thank you very much, father."
Of course, the one who was even more embarrassed was the real Sixth Prince. Emperor Qianwu looked at him with a complicated look. Fortunately, the Sixth Prince was sensible and asked to be demoted to a commoner.
Emperor Qianwu, taking into account the long-standing father-son relationship, still gave him a house and a lot of silver.
