Chapter 352: There are pirates in Nanning, and Zhou Ruan is crowned king!
Shen Lanxi thought about it and shook her head.
"If I interfere, that would be overstepping my bounds. The marriage arrangements my father has arranged for the girls in the family have been very good. If there is no suitable candidate for the uncles, you can leave the marriage negotiations to my father!"
Shen Congli curled his lips immediately. No matter whether it was family members or outsiders, there was something wrong with Shen Lanxi's words.
Just after the imperial examination, urgent news came from Nanning that pirates were rampant and looted a county town overnight. Thousands of people were killed and injured, and countless money was robbed.
Emperor Renxiao was just happy about recruiting good talents. After hearing the news, his eyes darkened and he fell heavily to the ground.
Fortunately, he and Wang Bao were the only two people in the Yangxin Hall.
"Your Majesty, I'm going to call the imperial doctor right now!" Wang Bao was so frightened that he panicked.
Emperor Renxiao held on to Wang Bao tightly: "Don't call the imperial doctor, please tell the eldest prince to return to the court quickly!"
Wang Bao was stunned for a moment and quickly went to do it.
……
Wei Dongzhu was resting today. When he came from the front door, he saw that the palace was closed, so he went around to the back door.
"The general is here."
The government soldiers let Wei Dong drive in.
"Where is your lord?"
The soldier shook his head: "I don't know, my lord just ordered you to come in when you come."
Wei Dongzhu's eyes flashed: "What if someone else comes?"
Fu Bing: "My lord said, no one will be seen!"
Wei Dongzhu raised the corners of his mouth and walked in briskly.
Why is he here?
Wei Dongzhu frowned subconsciously after seeing Ban Sicao.
"Lan Xi."
Shen Lanxi raised her lips: "You're just in time. Cheng Zheng came back from the northwest and brought a lot of things. If you don't come, I will have someone deliver them to you."
Wei Dongzhu approached with a smile.
Ban Sicao: "Let's have roast lamb for lunch. I haven't eaten authentic roast lamb since I came to the capital!"
"Okay!"
Hearing the two people going back and forth, Wei Dongzhu felt a little uncomfortable.
"Although mutton is good, you can't eat too much in this season. I picked some peaches from a farm outside the capital, and there were a lot. I asked the peach farmer if I couldn't finish them, I could make them into dried peaches, so that they can be eaten in winter. Sometimes, you can also eat peach meat.”
Ban Sicao glanced sideways at Wei Dongzhu and twitched the corner of his mouth.
"Isn't it just peaches? Where can I find them? And mutton is delicious. The honeydew melons from our Western Regions are also delicious. I will write a letter soon and ask someone to send more."
The smile in Wei Dongzhu's eyes did not reach his eyes. He looked at Ban Sicao: "Lan Xi prefers to eat peaches."
Ban Sicao looked at him: "No matter how delicious something is, you will get tired of it if you keep eating it. If you have never tasted honeydew melon, how do you know that your favorite food is not honeydew melon? What if you start to like it after eating it? ?”
Wei Dongzhu almost gritted his teeth and said: "People's preferences will never change. Even if they just change their taste occasionally in the middle, the one they like in the end will still be the one they chose at the beginning."
Ban Sicao smiled angrily, and retorted almost provocatively: "There is something called a habit. If you eat it, use it, you will get used to it, and you will be indispensable around you in the future?"
< br>
Wei Dongzhu's eyes instantly became fierce.
"You..."
Haruyuki came over with a basket, Cheng Zheng wiped his hands and followed Haruyuki.
Wei Dongzhu and Ban Sicao snorted coldly and turned their heads to ignore each other.
"Why don't you make any noise?"
"It's quite interesting to see you two bickering!" Shen Lanxi smiled as she watched the fun.
Ban Sicao: "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to do my work!" He also had to do the things assigned by Shen Lanxi, so he had no time to argue with Wei Dongzhu.
Cheng Zheng's curious eyes looked back and forth between the two of them, and when no one explained, he went to Shen Lanxi's side.
……
The door of Juding Palace had not been closed for two days, and the Shen family came to deliver news first. "Miss Yuantang will come back tomorrow. The old lady would like to ask, will you go back?"
Shen Lanxi refused directly.
"Don't go, tell the old lady, it will be embarrassing to meet you."
"Yes!"
The front foot sent the people of Shen Mansion away, and the back foot summoned Emperor Renxiao.
"Lan Xi, the bandits are causing trouble in Nanning. I want to hear what you think."
Shen Lanxi: "Your Majesty, I am not good at water warfare, and I don't know much about Nanning. If you really want to listen to me, I have the courage to say a few words."
"Water warfare must use soldiers who are very familiar with water warfare, and they are also very familiar with Nanning's terrain and sea areas."
Emperor Renxiao nodded.
"That makes sense. He is indeed a general who has been on the battlefield."

Shen Lanxi: "Uncle, if you say that, I would be proud."
Emperor Renxiao smiled and said: "I want to send the prince to supervise the army. In your opinion, who is more suitable?"
Shen Lanxi's pupils deepened, and she said with a distressed look: "Uncle, you are making things difficult for me."
Emperor Renxiao: "I just want to hear your opinion, how can I make it difficult for you?"
Wang Bao: "What a nonsense, I actually questioned His Majesty!"
Emperor Renxiao glanced at him: "You are everywhere, we are talking, don't interrupt!"
Wang Bao quickly bent down carefully: "Yes!"
Shen Lanxi: "Uncle, all the princes are outstanding. If I say anything, I will offend those who have not said it. Aren't you cheating on me?"
When Emperor Renxiao heard what she said, he smiled angrily and said: "You are getting more and more aggressive, just like a monkey."
Shen Lanxi: "Uncle, have you ever said that about your niece?"
Emperor Renxiao: "Just say it, what was said in the study today will not be spread."
Shen Lanxi: "You asked me to say this. I said it wrong. Don't blame me?"
"It's not strange or not, just say it." Emperor Renxiao was very curious about who she would choose.
Shen Lanxi: "You princes have never fought in a water battle. Zhou Ruyuan is better. At least he has been on the battlefield, but as far as I know, he is a landlubber, right?"
Emperor Renxiao rolled his eyes at Shen Lanxi angrily.
"Let me say, anyone can go. It's really hard to choose, so just draw lots, or send two more princes over."
Emperor Renxiao thought she would have some great ideas, but didn't expect this?
"Do you think fighting is a child's play? Do you still draw lots? I even wonder how you became the general of Zhenbei?"
Shen Lanxi: "Didn't I not have a choice at that time? Dongchuan was in chaos, and I was forced to do so. If there were no rebellious officials and traitors chasing us, our family might still be farming in Dongchuan right now."
Emperor Renxiao stared at her and took a deep breath.
Even if it was the truth, Emperor Renxiao was choked with panic when he heard Shen Lanxi tell it in such an unprocessed way.
"If you leave, I won't have to discuss it with you!"
Shen Lanxi: "I am always here when called. If uncle still wants to discuss with me, I will come again next time!"
Emperor Renxiao: "..."
After Shen Lanxi left, Emperor Renxiao began to complain.
"I didn't see it, this is still a rogue."
Wang Bao: "I'm not your pet~"
Emperor Renxiao was not really angry. He said a few words casually and then started to think about things.
Early the next morning, the imperial edict was delivered to Zhou Ruan's house.
"By God's blessing...the second prince Zhou Ru'an is named King of Pinghai and goes to Nanning to exterminate the pirates!"
