"Because she's not a fuel-efficient lamp, you go and talk to her directly. Xu Lianshan said disapprerovingly, "As long as she knows your details, will she dare to offend my Wuyi Camp?"
Yi Shan also understands this truth, although Shen Jiuniang has a special relationship with Sheng Weiqiao, after all, her foundation is shallow, if she is naΓ―ve and has no city government, or is short-tempered and willful, arrogant and ignorant, it is okay.
Since he came over from the king's tent in Ruru for a few years, he will definitely not be brainless.
I will definitely not offend the descendants of Rong Sleeping Crane in such a place where I can do it.
However, Yishan is only an ordinary member of the Wuyi Battalion after all, and without the approval of a high-level like Xu Lianshan, she does not dare to rashly fight the Wuyi Battalion.
At this moment, Xu Lianshan said so, and she went to do it.
Shen Jiuniang received the news, and she really entered the palace very happily and interceded with her.
Although Sheng Weiqiao was the most face-saving time for Shen Jiuniang at this time, she was still a little unhappy when she heard about it: "She is really capable! I just drove people away, and I found the Chinese people so quickly, not to mention, I even disturbed Xiao Qiao's purity! The methods that I learned in the Wuyi camp were all used on me!"
"Do you think that if she goes to find me, I will agree?" Shen Jiuniang is one of the few people who treats Sheng Weiqiao after she is canonized as the queen, and she still talks and behaves the same as before, so she smiled at this moment and said idly, "Don't you think that you are really not doing a good job?" Although it is said that the palace maid is confused, but you don't want to think about it, Your Majesty is still busy fighting the two countries on the grassland at this time! Even if Da Mu is a big victory, Your Majesty may not have time to deal with such a person! You drive people away now, and you have to send her to see Your Majesty. Good thing she didn't go!"
"If she goes, the military camp is heavy, and a woman is looking for it, and she has served you as the queen, first of all, Your Majesty will be worried after hearing about it, and Bacheng still thinks that something happened to Chang'an, especially you, the crown prince and the second prince...... You yourself said that if this news spreads, what will the courtiers think of you?"
"You must know that you are His Majesty's wife, the queen mother!"
"It's not those concubines who rely on beauty to invite favors!"
"To do such an unvirtuous thing...... Isn't this a drag on the Crown Prince's brothers?"
Sheng Weiqiao was very stupid by what she said, and said, "I forgive her and don't dare to see Zhenqing seriously!"
Shen Jiuniang smiled: "You are scaring her, so it seems that this palace maid was really scared this time." β
"It's not ......," Sheng Weiqiao frowned and said, "I'm really a little fed up with the assertions of the people below!, so this person will definitely send me away, but she is also attentive when she is by my side, and she is an old man who accompanies the north and south of the river, I don't think she can be too embarrassed after leaving Wangchun Palace...... Aren't you going to let out your anger for a few days first, and then turn around and then clean up the aftermath?
Shen Jiuniang groaned: "That's it? That's nothing. Anyway, we're all pretty idle now, if you don't bother me, I'll come to see you a few more times in the next two days. You are angry when you turn around, and deal with it according to your plan, and ask me to sell that palace maid's personal favor by the way?"
Sheng Weiqiao was about to say that for the sake of Shen Jiuniang's face, he would not let Yishan continue to be uneasy.
Listening to this idea at this time, he thought about it for a while, and nodded: "That's it! I just feel that the palace is so cold, Xiao Qiao, you have nothing to do and come to see me often!"
Next, Shen Jiuniang really entered the palace a few times, and in the end, Sheng Weiqiao called Yishan back to Wangchun Palace again, but secretly decided in her heart that after Rong Sleeping Crane came back, she asked her husband to arrange her separately.
This move is not only to annoy Yi Shan, but also to set an example for the people around him, even if it is Yi Shan's background and qualifications, concealing the news without authorization is the result, how can others not weigh it more and more?
Yi Shan didn't know what to do, and she was very grateful to Shen Jiuniang.
Of course, when he was serving in Wangchun Palace, he was also working harder, lest Sheng Weiqiao's heart would not disappear, and if something went wrong, he would be driven away again. In this case, you can't intercede with Shen Jiuniang anymore?
Even if Sheng Weiqiao is very good to this cousin, he may not be willing to give face again and again.
β¦β¦ On this day, Shen Jiuniang came to the palace again, Sheng Weiqiao thought that she had come to talk to her as usual, but she didn't want to say a few words, Shen Jiuniang stopped talking, thought for a while, and finally asked: "I heard that the reason why Yishan made you angry before was because of Xu Shizi's matter?"
Although Sheng Lanci and his wife had told Sheng Weiqiao, Shen Jiuniang would not intervene between Xu Baomo and Gongsun Yingjiang.
Sheng Weiqiao was still a little worried when she mentioned Xu Baomo, and hesitated before nodding: "It has something to do with Xu Baomo." β
"I heard that he has been taking leave for the past few days, saying that he fell inadvertently. Shen Jiuniang pursed her lips for a while and said, "But the grapevine said that he was beaten by his family." β
Sheng Weiqiao said with great certainty: "The grapevine is right, he is young, and he is not seventy or eighty years old and his legs are not dexterous, how can a good child fall, and he fell so badly? He was beaten by his family!"
He also said, "It's also that Ying Jiang hasn't been in a bad mood recently, otherwise if he falls into the well at this time, Uncle Xu Shi and Aunt Nan will definitely be ruthless!"
Shen Jiuniang thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Don't be too careful! I'm just a little surprised, the Xu family seems to be a male heir of Xu Shizi, not to mention a collection of thousands of pets and loves, so it's also very distressing, right?
"It's not that Xu Baomo is too preoccupied, and he spends his days messing with flowers and grass?" Sheng Weiqiao said, "For this matter earlier, let alone Uncle Xu Shi and Aunt Nan, the old marquis and the old lady Xiahou in Cangwu County at this time are not light!"
He also said, "In the past, Ying Jiang beat Xu Baomo, and was bumped into by Aunt Nan's mother, but Ying Jiang was not ruthless enough, and even wanted to get her a mace...... The Xu family really has nothing to say about Jiang. β
Shen Jiuniang let out a sigh and said, "This is a little different from what I thought before...... Do you know? I used to think that Madame Ning Weihou was a bejeweled, graceful, luxurious, and domineering noblewoman. β
Sheng Weiqiao looked at this cousin's expression, and saw that she looked calm and was really remembering the past, so he asked with a smile: "Then if you and Xu Baomo become friends, maybe she will oppose it because the Shen family does not have the title of marquis?"
Shen Jiuniang nodded with a smile and said, "At that time, I was really young. β
"It's not been a few years, Xiao Qiao, you are still in your prime!" Sheng Weiqiao just said this, and a palace maid came in and said something, it was Concubine Shu's little princess who fell unintentionally, and seemed to be a little seriously injured, and asked Sheng Weiqiao if he wanted to take a look?
Shen Jiuniang retired when she heard this.
Sheng Weiqiao hurriedly changed her clothes to visit, although the little princess had a bag on her head, the problem was not big, and the imperial doctor prescribed some external medicine, that is.
It's just that Concubine Shu is such a child now, whether it is for future considerations or emotional sustenance, she attaches great importance to it, and she can't help but be a little overly nervous.
Sheng Weiqiao stayed with her for a while, relieved herself, and watched her calm down before leaving.
This day passed like this, and for the next few days, Shen Jiuniang did not come to Wangchun Palace again.
Sheng Weiqiao thought, is it because of the topic that day, this cousin didn't show it on the surface, but was a little hurt in her heart?
She hesitated for a few days, wondering whether to specifically invite Shen Jiuniang into the palace to preach?
I don't want Xu Lianshan to ask to see him at this time, Sheng Weiqiao still thinks what's the matter, who knows if he came to talk about Shen Jiuniang: "Niangniang, do you know that Miss Shen has been back to Chang'an these days, do you have any favorite husband candidates?"
Sheng Weiqiao was very surprised when he heard this, so he asked vigilantly: "What are you asking for? Did someone mention Xiao Qiao's marriage?"
Xu Lianshan explained: "Ruru's predecessor Khan Dengchen Liyu's most beloved son, that is, the prince Suo Tie'er, who was sent to the western frontier to be placed by His Majesty before Dengchen Liyu died, and privately proposed to His Majesty two days ago that he wanted to marry Miss Shen. His Majesty sent a message to ask what Miss Shen meant. It's just that these subordinate people are not very familiar with Miss Shen, so they rashly inquired and came to inquire, which was a bit presumptuous. So I came to inquire with my mother. β
ββ¦β¦ Little Joe didn't tell me about anyone she wanted to marry. Sheng Weiqiao was stunned before he said, "But Xiao Qiao was the concubine of Fu Zhen before, and that Fu Zhen was Suo Tie'er's own uncle?"
"That's not a problem. Xu Lianshan said calmly, "They Ruru don't pay attention to these courtesies, righteousness and shame, but they have the custom of inheriting the property of their father and brother Khan and their wives." Suo Tie'er introduced this custom this time and asked His Majesty. β
Sheng Weiqiao looked at him: "Then since Zhenqing sent someone back to ask...... Is that he in favor of it?"
Xu Lianshan couldn't understand her opinion on this matter, so he replied very cautiously: "Your Majesty's meaning is that since Suo Tie'er wants to marry Miss Shen, then of course you should ask Miss Shen what she means." β
Sheng Weiqiao's face softened slightly when he heard this, and said, "Ming'er, I'll invite Xiao Qiao to come to the palace and ask her what she means!"
That being said, although Sheng Weiqiao does not have the concept of one daughter marrying two people, Shen Jiuniang has served one of Dengchen Liyu's sons, and later followed Na Fuzhen, and was proposed by Dengchen Liyu's other son at this time...... She couldn't help but feel a little too messy.
Of course, if Shen Jiuniang was willing, Sheng Weiqiao would not disobey this cousin's meaning because of secular concepts.
With such a complicated mood, early the next morning, she ordered someone to invite Shen Jiuniang.
Half a day later, Shen Jiuniang, who was a little pale, arrived at Wangchun Palace.
Sheng Weiqiao looked at her and was surprised: "Xiao Qiao, are you sick? Why didn't you say it earlier...... Hurry up and sit down and ask someone to make you a pot of ginseng tea!"
"No, no, no!" But Shen Jiuniang shook her hand when she heard this, sighed and said, "I have something on my mind, and I haven't eaten well or slept well for a few days...... I didn't get sick. β
Sheng Weiqiao asked, "What are you thinking about it, and you have become like this?"
Seeing Shen Jiuniang looking around, she glanced at it and ordered everyone, including Hibiscus Fence and Ju Fence, to retreat.
Shen Jiuniang smiled bitterly and said, "What's on your mind...... Two days ago, Suo Tie'er, one of Dengchen Liyu's favorite sons, sent someone to bring a generous gift to the house of the eldest uncle and aunt to discuss the matter of marriage with me!"
Sheng Weiqiao was surprised: "What?!He actually went straight to you?!"
