Chapter 159: Then she is the concubine now.

Lian Xuan Liyu and Xuan Liye also came to the general's mansion to visit Shen Zhicheng.

  When Ruan Ruan was playing with Xuan Liye, he discovered that the original dark red color of the peace charm on his neck had become discolored, as if it had been soaked in water.

  If such a peace talisman is invalidated, it must have prevented a disaster for the owner.

  "What have you been doing in the past month? The peace talisman has faded."

  "Ah? Is there any?" Xuan Liye was stunned and quickly took off the peace talisman hanging around his neck.

  At first glance, it turned out to be discoloration.

  "How could this happen? I was fine yesterday."

  "What happened yesterday?" Ruan Ruan pretended not to care and played with grasshoppers.

  Xuan Liye thought about what happened yesterday, but couldn't find anything strange about it.

  "It seems not, it was very peaceful yesterday."

  "No way, the peace charm must have been a disaster for you." Ruan Ruan snatched the peace charm from his hand and threw it into the incense burner to burn it.

  "Tell my mother to give you another peace charm later. Something must have happened yesterday. Go back and investigate and pay attention."

  "Okay." Xuan Liye nodded, with an ugly expression on his face.

  ...

  At noon, Chu Jingyi and Ye Sheng rushed from the academy to the General's Mansion after class.

  They came here specially to visit Shen Zhicheng.

  Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Eleventh Prince were also at the General's Mansion and had lunch together.

  The two of them were a little embarrassed, but they stayed for lunch.

  But they didn't dare to say anything to Ruan Ruan, for fear that Xuan Liye would be angry.

  I almost offended him during the last Mid-Autumn Festival.

  ...

  Shen Zhiyuan has been busy entertaining guests all day today, and is really tired.

  But thinking that the family is neat and healthy makes me very satisfied.

  The next day, he and three friends went to the Imperial College to attend school.

  The leaving exam was less than half a year away, and he wanted to take advantage of this time to learn more knowledge.

  Three days later

  the emperor's decree was delivered to the general's mansion.

  Shen Hong brought back potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and super rice from the Western Regions, four high-yield crops, as well as peanuts that can be squeezed for oil and cotton that can be used to make cotton clothes to keep out the cold.

  This move benefited the country of Dai Viet and the people, and he was specially granted the title of king with a different surname - King Zhongyong.

  The title was hereditary, and the plaque on the General's Palace was changed to Prince Shen's Palace.

  He was given a robe with four toes and seven pythons, a phoenix crown and a garland for the princess, an annual salary of 5,000 dan, and a bodyguard of no less than 5,000 soldiers.

  Fifty boxes of gold, one hundred pieces of silk and satin, and ten boxes of rare treasures were given...

  This news shocked the whole capital.

  At the same time, another decree from the emperor was also sent to Cheng Mansion.

  Cheng Er cultivated four high-yielding crops and was granted the title of First-Class Grand Agriculturist.

  Therefore, he is also called the Minister of the Ministry of Finance.

  Cheng Jinmiao carefully cultivated crops such as cotton and peanuts that benefited the Dai Viet Kingdom and the people, and was specially appointed as a sixth-grade agricultural officer.

  At the beginning of September, the two father and son set off south to promote the six kinds of seeds across the country.

  ...

  Shen Hong and his family stood outside the gate, looking up at the "Prince Shen's Mansion" plaque that had just been hung up by the palace staff, feeling particularly excited.

  Hundreds of people gathered on the roadside, all coming to watch the fun.

  "Oh my God! General Shen is so awesome. He just moved into the general's mansion last year, and he was named a prince this year."

  "That's not true. Who knows that General Shen has the ability?"

  "It's really enviable. By the way, General Shen has five sons. , In addition to the eldest son and the third child who are engaged, the second child is about to come of age, and the fourth child."

  ...

  The old patriarch was supported by dozens of Shen's children and saw the plaque that had just been hung up.

  "Okay, okay!" The old man shouted three times in a row, crying with excitement.

  "There is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave... There are thousands of people in our Shen family, and finally a prince is born. Thanks to our ancestors... our ancestors bless us, our ancestors bless us."     "Third Grandpa, don't get excited..." Shen Hong supported the old patriarch, worried that he would suffer from physical problems if he was too excited.

  "You still have the ability. When will you go back to your hometown to worship your ancestors?"

  "Next March!"

  "Okay."

  Going back to your hometown to worship your ancestors is about once every five years, but Shen Hong has not been back for ten years.

  The matter of ancestor worship was settled in this way.

  Shen Zhiyu and several attendants took a few strings of firecrackers and lit them in a distant place, fearing to hurt the people.

  There were bursts of crackling for a quarter of an hour.

  The floor was covered with red shredded paper from firecrackers.

  The children swarmed over and picked up the unexploded firecrackers to play with.

  Brothers and sisters Shen Zhiyuan and Shen Zhiqing helped Cheng Yurong scatter copper coins to the people. People said pleasant words, and the master wanted to give them money.

  Li's Mansion, Tan's Mansion, Jiang's Mansion, Cheng's Mansion...

  After a while, Prince Shen's Mansion was filled with guests.

  Shen Hong set up another thirty banquets to entertain the distinguished guests.

  Cheng Yurong's body has not recovered yet, so this matter is left to Shen Zhiyuan and his brothers. It is also time for them to exercise.

  Ruan Ruan is only one and a half years old. She just needs to play. There are one or two children from each family, so she has no shortage of playmates.

  What's more, there are two shameless guys, Chu Jingyi and Ye Sheng, who come to her house to ask for food and drink whenever they find an opportunity.

  No, Chu Jingyi also brought his parents and grandfather to eat and drink together.

  "Father, mother, look at how great Uncle Shen is, he has become a prince. Come, this is the little princess, Shen Ruan Ruan."

  He couldn't wait to drag his parents and grandfather to see Ruan Ruan, skipping Shen Hong and Cheng Yurong.

  Ruan Ruan rolled his eyes and immediately switched to his cute signature smile.

  "Uncle Chu, Aunt Chu, and Grandpa Chu, how are you?

  Oh, it turns out that Uncle Chu is so handsome and elegant.

  Aunt Chu, you are so young and beautiful, how do you take care of yourself?

  Grandpa Chu, look at your body. Tough..."

  Her praise made the Chu family feel elated, and they were captured by her in their hearts.

  "You have such a sweet mouth."

  "So you are the little princess. You are so cute and beautiful."

  "You are the little princess of the General's Mansion that everyone calls you. Seeing is better than hearing a hundred times. You are a divine child."

  Ye Sheng Seeing that Chu Jingyi had brought his family with him, he felt angry.

  But luckily he brought his family too.

  "Ruan Ruan, these two are my father and mother. Father and mother, she is the little princess."

  "..." Ruan Ruan is so numb. He has to meet so many strangers and say auspicious words.

  So tired.

  "Uncle Ye, Aunt Ye, hello. My name is Ruan Ruan.

  Uncle Ye, I heard from Brother Ye Sheng that you are a Tanhualang. You are indeed handsome and extraordinary.

  Brother Ye Sheng often tells me that Aunt Ye is the gentlest. , the best mother."

  She didn't lie. Ye Sheng often told her how good his parents and family were, how upright the family tradition was, and they were monogamous and did not take concubines.

  ...

  The news that Shen Hong was crowned prince also reached the ears of Shen Zhongsheng and his second wife.

  "How is it possible? That bitch was made a prince? It's impossible, absolutely impossible..." Old Yang would cry and laugh at other times, and his crazy look was really scary.

  Especially the festering wounds on her face and half of the hair on her head.

  Shen Zhongsheng's situation was similar, but he didn't cry or laugh from time to time. He sat on the chair with dull eyes.

  He kept chanting: "Your Majesty... He is the Prince... He is the Prince..."

  The expressions on Xiao Yang's face were particularly rich, sometimes regret, sometimes jealousy, sometimes hatred.

  If Shen Hong had agreed to have the second wife, she would be a concubine now.
