71.Chapter 71
Who doesn't know that Shen Shengxu was born in Shangjia, the emperor must have thought that the birth of the crown princess could not be too high, since ancient times, the position of the prince is not so easy to do.
If one is not good, it makes the emperor feel that it is difficult to take on a big responsibility, he is too capable, and the emperor feels that the limelight overshadows him, threatening and coveting the ambition of the throne, so he ...... It was because of this that Empress Dowager Fan chose Shen Shilang's daughter. Thinking that although Shen Shilang was born in a businessman, but he had a great friendship with Prince Su, Empress Dowager Fan pointed to the emperor and was not afraid or excluded the prince, and then thought that Prince Su might help the prince because of Shen Shilang's relationship.
No matter how you say it, Shen Shilang and Prince Su are not serious relatives, and there are already rumors outside that Prince Su's Mansion has long since retired the second lady Shen, that is to say, the relationship between Shen Shilang and Prince Su has also been dissolved. Now that Shen Shilang is sick at home and has not been to the court, who knows if it is because Prince Su no longer wants to see him, so he doesn't dare to see anyone?
Empress Xu felt that what he said made sense, and nodded slightly: "Then Shen Xinyue has seen it in this palace, but it is on the stage, and now the real Second Miss Shen is grown up in the countryside, how can she compare to her, this palace thought, then Empress Dowager Fan is afraid that she will slap the table, right?" ”
"That's it, Empress Dowager Fan was bent on having a good granddaughter-in-law to help the prince, but it turned out to be ......" He smiled flatteringly, and diligently picked up the teacup and presented it to Empress Xu, so that she could moisten her throat.
Queen Xu's lips hooked slightly, took the tea, blew the hot air lingering on it, and took a sip.
A few days ago, King Chong didn't say a word to her mother, but went directly out of the capital to Panyang, what kind of female assassin is worthy of him to chase in person? I won't even come back to the birthday banquet of the eldest princess in a few days!
This action made her worried and angry, and she didn't sleep well for a few days. But today's news is a happy thing, I wonder if Prince Su should not help a wild girl, even if Shen Shilang still has Prince Su's appreciation, it depends on this daughter's ability, plus the emperor does not pay attention to the selection of the crown princess, which makes her even more pleased, indicating that the emperor really loves the son she gave birth to, and the prince ...... What about the birth of the Yuan Hou? She didn't believe it, even if her son hadn't been a prince, wouldn't he be qualified to win that position?
Empress Xu meditated to herself, and the general manager who had been sent to inquire about the news came back.
Because Empress Xu remembered the current political situation, her eyes were naturally covered with a faint anger, but in Fengning Palace, she had nothing to hide, so she squinted and asked, "What's the news?" ”
The chief manager didn't dare to slack off, and said repeatedly: "Yu Niangniang, the person sent by the slave to the Shen Mansion to inquire has not yet returned, but there is a letter from the Qianming Palace." ”
"Oh, what do the people over there say?" Empress Xu raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Niangniang, Xiao Anzi also tried her best, and only heard one sentence, that is, Prince Su once wanted to accept that Miss Shen as a righteous daughter, and wanted to ask the emperor to give her the title of county lord!"
When Empress Xu heard this, her face changed slightly, if Prince Su wanted to accept the girl who was accused of being the crown princess as a righteous daughter, it would be very different from her previous analysis, thinking of this, she threw out the tea cup in her hand, "What did you say?" She never expected that Prince Su would attach so much importance to the future crown princess, and said a little indignantly: "Then the emperor didn't allow it at that time? ”
"Yu Niangniang, it is said that the emperor did not allow it at that time, but he did not allow it, Prince Su probably thought that the emperor was still thinking about it."
Empress Xu stabilized her feelings and sat back in her position, "That means that the emperor was thinking about the real princess candidate at that time, if she agreed, then she became the righteous daughter of Prince Su, wouldn't she become the prince's aunt?" Speaking of this, Queen Xu's hand was clenched, thinking that if the emperor wanted to weaken the crown prince, then her own emperor Chu Xi would have a good chance. But the news that I got now is that the emperor is silently helping the prince, so things will not be easy to do.
Prince Su has always been unfathomable, and he still doesn't think about power, so he asked the emperor to resign several times, but was left in the court by the emperor. This is because the emperor should have scruples about her father, Xun Guogong, so he needs Prince Su's checks and balances. Now if Prince Su is on the side of the crown princess, wouldn't it be the crown prince's position as the prince?
Queen Xu's mood suddenly fell to the bottom, whether it was Gonggong Li beside her, or Gonggong Xuan, both of them held back their voices, stepped aside, and let the queen be quiet for a while, and never do anything that touched her eyebrows.
***
Shen Hanyue waited for a long time at Prince and Princess Su, and she couldn't hold it back, she got up and asked the maid standing by the door, "Does the princess have something else to do?" ”
The girl who was questioned bowed down to her and replied, "Miss Shen can sit down first?" Rong Nuwen asked people to inquire. After the girl ring responded, she glanced at the blue clothes girl ring next to her, and then walked to the door and explained a few words to the other little girl ring outside.
Shen Hanyue could only continue to sit back in her position, watching Biyi Yahuan change the tea cup for herself in an orderly manner,
Because of the hospitality of Prince Su and Princess Su just now, these maids also knew that she was a guest, and she was the master of the princess as a righteous daughter, and she was also the future princess, so when she ordered and asked, they all looked respectful.
Despite this, she could only wait for Prince Su here. Originally, the princess didn't know about the holy decree in the morning, and it seemed that the Manchu Dynasty was not mentally prepared, and no one thought that Shen Xinyue, the crown princess, would be replaced by her, so the princess accompanied her and waited for Prince Su to come back from the palace, but then a mother-in-law came to report that Prince Su was back, and the princess said that she would ask the prince on her behalf first.
This time, it was half an hour later, and Shen Hanyue had no bottom in her heart, she originally wanted to ask to see Prince Su in person, but ...... The princess asked her to wait, how could she say that she didn't want to wait? Originally, she came to the palace suddenly, and the princess was still patiently and enthusiastically with her for a long time, and she was grateful to the princess in her heart.
Thinking of this, she sighed helplessly, alas! Sad, this matter is too jumpy, and she has no ability to control it at all, she is a master of the six gods, and she has to worry about whether Ah Yi will play tricks because of marriage, and her own side is a mess, and she can't figure it out.
She raised her hand and rubbed her temples, she didn't know how Shen Fu was doing now, Yang was dizzy, it was time to wake up now, and I don't know what her reaction would be now? Anyway, she is properly going farther and farther away from her sisters, and they have all become enemies!
Sister hatred, sister sorrow, she really has a thin fate with her biological mother and sisters. Fortunately, there is a grandmother who has always remembered her, just like the dean's mother in her previous life, making her warm and reminiscing. But in the final analysis, it seems that there is still no fate with my grandmother, because they don't see each other before marriage, if they really marry into the palace, how can they want to see each other after marriage?
The more Shen Hanyue thought about it, the tighter her brows became, so that when Prince Su came in, what she saw was her hanging her head, staring at the pattern of flowers and branches on the carpet in a daze, her face full of sadness.
The princess sighed secretly, it seemed that she really didn't want to marry the prince, so she was so anxious that she almost cried, "Yueya." She tried to gently call Shen Hanyue, who was still thinking hard.
Shen Hanyue seemed to be awakened, came back to her senses, and hurriedly stood up solemnly: "Mother...... Father, he ......" she said, looking at the door, how could there be the figure of Prince Su, and she was disappointed.
"Don't worry, your father said that he also just learned the news, the emperor asked him to go to the imperial study in the morning, and refused to give you the title of county lord, saying that the king has no jokes, as early as two years ago, he pointed out that Miss Shen Er is the crown princess, so it cannot be changed!"
Shen Hanyue understood that it was difficult to change, and she just wanted to get some information from Prince Su, but now that the princess said this, it was already very clear that she had no comment, "Thank you, Concubine, then Hanyue will ...... Go back first. ”
The princess took Shen Hanyue's hand and continued: "Your father said, even if you don't give you the title of county lord, you are still our righteous daughter, this will not change, but he ......" The princess thought for a while, and said: "Your father has very important business to deal with now, let you go back first, don't think too much." ”
Shen Hanyue said goodbye to the princess: "Then Hanyue will leave first, it's cold outside, so don't send Hanyue to the concubine." ”
"Then I'll arrange for someone to send you back, originally you moved to the new house today, and you were going to send the new things over, and now I just happened to go back with you."
"Hanyue, thank you for your concern." After she finished speaking, she saw the head of Prince Su and Princess Su, so she retreated, and was led out of the princess's main courtyard by Yahuan, who led the way, and walked towards the outside of the palace.
The princess looked at her figure that was fading away, and then turned around and walked into the inner hall, "Lord, Yueya has left." ”
Prince Su had already arrived here from the side door, and after reading the official document for a long time, he saw the princess coming in, so he put down the paperwork, "Is she better?" ”
"It seems that she is worried, who would have thought of this, it is obvious that Shen Xinyue is the crown princess, and this day will be ......" The princess said on the wall, holding the hijab of the Sanding lotus incense burner on the other wall, and personally lit the agarwood he liked for Prince Su.
Prince Su was thoughtful, and his eyebrows were slightly twisted: "Although this king did not ask her to be a county lord, when the time comes, the king wants her to go out of the palace, then even if she enters the palace, the queen mother, the prince and the queen will all read it in the face of the king and treat her well, even if Queen Xu ...... If you want to find her trouble, the queen mother will also protect Yueya because of this king. ”
"The prince is good at work, then Shen Shilang will definitely be grateful." The princess smiled lightly, and tactfully reminded the prince that on the day of the prince's wedding, the matter of the crown princess going out of the palace still had to be mentioned to Shen Shengxu, and he couldn't make his own decision so strongly.
Seeing that the prince did not respond, Prince Su went outside again and told Yahuan to bring the hot ginseng soup, and when she turned around, Prince Su was already standing by the parrot cage and teasing the parrot.
"The princess only has to buy the dowry, since the emperor has decided, the king can't follow Yueya's wishes to help, her dowry, the princess will take care of it."
The princess bowed her head, just now the prince gave him 100,000 taels of silver tickets, I am afraid that the belongings in the prince's private treasury have almost moved, although he has been married to the prince for decades, and he has always known that he has his own property outside, but he didn't expect that this shot would be such a huge amount of money, or to buy a dowry for Shen Hanyue. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but in the end, the prince still trusted her, and it was not in vain that she had worked hard for the palace for so many years.
"The concubine will take care of it, the prince can rest assured." The princess knew in her heart that even if the prince did not officially accept Shen Hanyue as a righteous daughter, she had to let the Manchu Dynasty know that he regarded Shen Hanyue as his own, and the prince was bound to stand on the side of the prince, just to support Shen Hanyue.
However, she had some doubts in her heart, so she asked: "Today's matter, the emperor is actually equivalent to directly replacing the crown princess, is that he didn't like Shen Xinyue before, if so, if he wants to change people, he should also change the one he likes, why did the emperor not even see Yueya, so he directly replaced Shen Xinyue with this excuse?" "It seems that the emperor decided to want Shen Shilang's daughter to be the crown princess, but he was not satisfied with Shen Xinyue, and he always felt a little weird.
Prince Su was told by the princess this, and the action of teasing the parrot paused slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
The princess said again: "It's still the emperor who sees that the prince loves Yueya more, so he thinks that Yueya should be good, but this can't be said, so I have to meet people." ”
Prince Su had a solemn face, put the bamboo stick in his hand back into the small bamboo stick basket next to the cage, put his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Does Shen Xinyue have the ability to be a mother in the world, will the emperor not know?" ”
"The prince is saying that the emperor doesn't want the prince to ......" Speaking of this, the princess didn't dare to continue.
Prince Su shook his head and denied this statement: "On the prince's side, this king thinks that he should be able to go to the great treasure, but ...... If Shen Xinyue is the crown princess, then the throne will definitely not be hers, you think, the emperor is quite satisfied with Shen Shilang, I haven't seen him displease the emperor, it can be said that it is because of his generous duty, but if it weren't for the emperor's attention, some officials in the court are afraid that they would have made a move earlier. ”
Prince Su's words puzzled the princess, and she couldn't understand it, so she only heard Prince Su say again: "The way of being a king throughout the ages has paid attention to checks and balances, and the virtue of Shen Shilang and the Yang family back then is exactly what the emperor can hide and reveal, so you can rest assured about Shen Shilang." ”
Saying this, the princess immediately understood, presumably the emperor must have known about Shen Shilang's affairs back then, so he decided on the candidate for the crown princess at that time, was it because he didn't think of other more suitable candidates, so he first temporarily set a crown princess who could be removed at any time? "Then why did the emperor change to Yueya as the crown princess this time?"
"The king's heart is unpredictable, there are some things that the king knows in his heart, but the princess doesn't need to pay attention to that first, you just need to remember that this king will not let Yueya fall from that position, how can she have a fate with Shen Xinyue?"
She has never objected to what the prince decides, and even if she wants to, it is useless. However, the prince has always been safe, and the prince is also a righteous prince, not as good as seizing the heir, so as long as he keeps it well, there will definitely be no big incident! She has confidence in the prince, she has been following him like this for so many years, and she also believes that she can see her children and grandchildren grow up safely with him.
"Although Yueya is now moving to the Shen Mansion, but presumably Shen Shilang should not have time to take care of her, if it weren't for the fear that she would not come to live in the palace because of Brother Yi'er, I really want to take her over, as long as she has been living in the palace, it will be more natural to come out of the pavilion during the wedding, and she will not be said to be deliberately going to the scene." As the princess spoke, she picked up the ginseng soup on the Yahuan tray and let Prince Su drink it while it was hot.
Prince Su nodded, took the official kiln begonia-style porcelain bowl, and said with a light smile: "That girl has a temper, and she is definitely not willing to come to live in the palace, besides, we are still very strange to her, but I was afraid that something would happen to her in the Shen Mansion before, so I asked Zhaowu and them to secretly stay outside the Shen Mansion." ”
When the princess saw Prince Su say this, her brows frowned slightly, and she asked suspiciously: "Lord Wang, you have done it openly and secretly, Yueya should be fine, is it that the Yang family is still restless?" ”
"It's not, it's just that Zhaowu's message mentioned that there seems to be another group of people who are also guarding the Shen Mansion, and Yueya has moved the house, and they have also followed."
"Did Shen Shilang hire another guard? Also to prevent the Young? ”
Prince Su thoughtfully: "Shouldn't it be, like a serious brocade guard in the court, but I don't know if it's sent by the emperor, or someone else?" ”
The princess was mentioned by Prince Su and asked worriedly, "Then what is the prince going to do?" ”
"Zhaowu judged that he shouldn't want to harm Yueya, so this king asked him to continue to star, and it is estimated that the group of people is also staring at this king's people."
The princess frowned, she didn't expect that this Shen Hanyue would give birth to so many things, how much effort does the prince have to waste to be enough? She was slandered in her heart, but she could only sigh helplessly, and then let the prince control it.
