After returning to Duanwang's mansion and resting for a long time, when it was almost time for dinner, someone outside came to report that the Meng family had sent some new fruits and delicate and interesting things to the princess.

Shen Yu called the leader in, and as expected, it was Han's mother, who was the most trusted by Lu's side.

Mother Han got Lu's instructions, and refused to get up after kneeling to say goodbye, but she smiled with a smile, saying that the house was busy today, and the Lu family was not well entertained, so please don't go to the princess in her heart.

Of course, Shen Yu knew that the Lu family was careful, and she was still a little resentful, but she was coaxed by this old man on her knees for a long time, but she was a little embarrassed, so she said: "I know what the second aunt means, you go back and tell her, just say that the grandmother's family is a good person, tell her not to have so many crooked thoughts and discredit the second uncle." ”

This was said bluntly, Mother Han's face was ashamed, and she said: "This time, the second lady couldn't bear the pleas of others, so she was soft-hearted and dizzy, princess, you can see it clearly, but you must forgive me." ”

Since Shen Yan had already explained the meaning, she didn't say much, asked Shi Nan to reward the people, and went to have dinner with Xu Yan cleanly.

Who knew that after two days of purification, a decree came out in the palace, saying that Concubine Cui had been unwell recently, and asked Shen Yu to go in to serve the sick. Xu Yan felt strange when she heard it, so she accompanied her into the palace.

When they arrived in Yongfu Palace, in addition to Xu Yan and Shen Yan, there were also Princess Kang, Xiao Shizi, and Xiao County Lord.

King Kang is now thirty years old, the same generation as Emperor Huiping and Xu Yan, in addition to Princess Kang, there are three side concubines and several concubines in the house. Xiao Shizi is now twelve years old, and the county lord is also eight years old, and the two children are talking and laughing around Concubine Cui, which is lively.

After Xu Yan entered the door, she looked at Concubine Cui's smile and knew that she was casually looking for a reason.

But since he has entered the palace, he still has to come forward to greet An, and the doctor next to him only said that the weather has been getting hot recently, and Concubine Cui suffered from heat stroke two days ago, and she suffered a little cool breeze at night, alternating between cold and heat, and the phoenix body was damaged.

Xu Yan and Shen Yu couldn't help but greet each other, and Concubine Cui waved her hand and asked them to sit next to her, saying, "Originally, I felt uncomfortable, but when I saw these two children, my heart was much more refreshed." Since the fifth child married the princess, he really likes to be lazy more and more, obviously in the capital, and I don't see you coming into the palace to see me. ”

Princess Kang next to her pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "The fifth brother is newly married Yan'er, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions, so the concubine should be considerate of him." ”

"I understand him a lot, how many ridiculous things I have done to him before, and how many rules I have violated." Concubine Cui leaned on the pillow and swept Shen Yu with a smile and a smile, "But he has a daughter-in-law and forgets his mother, you see, how many times have he entered the palace in the past two months, and he has come to me a few times." ”

It's just nothing to find fault, Xu Yan was slightly displeased.

The relationship between him and Concubine Cui has always been shallow, and when he was not married before, he would only come to Yongfu Palace once in two or three months, which also meant to avoid suspicion. But Concubine Cui took one to talk about things, isn't it obvious?

But in front of Princess Kang, Xu Yan really couldn't lose the face of the concubine too much, so he could only eat Coptis dumbly, "It's my son's negligence." ”

Concubine Cui also ignored him anymore, and her eyes fell on Shen Yu's body, "Princess Duan has been in Beijing for two months, and she is used to the water and soil, right?" But I still don't look very good at you. ”

"Maybe it's because of the heat for days before I feel unwell. These days, the retainers have not been able to enter the palace to say hello, and the anti-concubine is worried, whether it is the retainers. Shen Yu bowed her head and apologized.

Anyway, with Xu Yan here, she doesn't plan to have a hard fight with Concubine Cui.

Concubine Cui didn't chase after her, "It's also that your body is still weak, so you should take care of it." The fifth child is also twenty-two this year, and he is a bystander, who is not a child? When King Kang was his age, the children were already four years old. ”

Xu Yan smiled, "Brother Kang got married early, and his son got married late, so you can't immediately become a four-year-old child, right?" ”

Princess Kang next to her listened to it interestingly, so she said: "The fifth brother is still so interesting to speak. ”

She has been married to King Kang for more than ten years and has long been accustomed to royal affairs. King Kang is an idle cloud and wild crane who does not ask about the government, and she rarely participates in the friction and competition inside and outside the palace, at this time she understood the meaning of Concubine Cui calling her and the child into the palace, so she hesitated a little, and said tentatively: "These two children are making a lot of noise, I'm afraid it will disturb the concubine's recuperation, why don't you ask them to go outside to play first?" ”

"I love that they're here." Concubine Cui glanced at Princess Kang unhappily, "When people are old, they look forward to the safety of their children and grandchildren. King Kang is an obedient person, and Princess Kang is also filial, but she is just a princess-" She stared at Shen Yan, "When are you going to add a grandson?" ”

After talking about it for a long time, it turned out that this was the main topic, Shen Yu sneered in her heart.

She was sitting next to Xu Yan, the person next to her was straight, she also unconsciously held her head high, and said with a slight smile: "I listened to the teachings of the concubine on the day of bathing the Buddha, and I knew that the concubine worshiped Buddhism and studied the scriptures. However, the scriptures also say that children and heirs should pay attention to the law of fate. If the fate has not arrived, it will not be forced, and if the fate has arrived, it will go with the flow. The concubine asked, but the son couldn't answer. ”

This call first praised Concubine Cui, and talked about things with her most respected Buddhist scriptures, and couldn't find any obvious mistakes, even if Shen Yu spoke tactfully and smiled softly, it also made Concubine Cui speechless.

This speechlessness made me angry in my heart, but I didn't expect my son to disobey him, and now even my daughter-in-law dares to talk back.

She couldn't help but think of Lu Roujia's pear blossom and rainy face, and sure enough, her son was bewitched and blinded. The princess in front of her is yang and yin, her face is soft and hard, she is really not a good thing!

She decided to speak clearly, even if Xu Yan might not be able to listen, it would be good to block Shen Yan, so she said slowly: "I should follow the fate, but I can't wait." Princess Duan is young, but the fifth child can't wait, the palace is empty, there should always be a few more people. Your royal brother doesn't say it, but he also remembers it in his heart. ”

"The concubine's teachings, my son remembers." Xu Yan didn't know what she meant, and her voice was a little stiff.

Concubine Cui glanced at Shen Yan who was biting her lip silently next to her, and her heart was finally much smoother-

Side concubines and concubines, that is a big pain in the heart of every main room. Xu Yan is a prince, and he will not really marry only one concubine, this is an obvious thing. Even if he himself is unwilling, if the situation forces him to marry one day, will he still resist and disobey the decree for the sake of a little girl?

If you want to dominate Xu Yan, how can there be such a beautiful thing!

Shen Yu refused to let Lu Roujia get close to Xu Yan, she just wanted to make it!

Thinking about it like this, the qi in her heart became smoother and smoother, and Concubine Cui also showed a lot of face, teasing the prince of King Kang and the little county lord for a while, and said that her body was much better, and asked them to go back.

Princess Kang listened to the sweat on her palms, and when she heard this, she immediately complimented her and left with the child.

Xu Yan didn't stay long, took Shen Yu out of Yongfu Palace, walked along the palace corridor for a while, and never let go of her hand.

Now in the middle of summer, the scenery in the palace is also strong, and occasionally when the wind blows, it can also send a few wisps of flowers. He saw that Shen Yu had been silent, so he squeezed her hand, "Auntie? ”

"Huh?" Shen Yan looked up at him.

"Don't take these words to heart." Xu Yan said.

"Hmm." Shen Yan bit her lip and still lowered her head.

Xu Yan was not very relieved, stopped at the moment, and bowed to her, "I am serious, I will only marry you, and I will not accept a side concubine." ”

Shen Yu believes this. She didn't marry in stupidly with a momentary whim, she had thought about it carefully before, and I believe that Xu Yan would be willing to entrust it. But if he doesn't plan to marry another, can he really stick to it?

If the emperor gives marriage, can he shirk the blame?

Enjoying the honor of the royal family, and marrying for the court when necessary, isn't this a common thing in the emperor's family?

She was a little apprehensive, and whispered, "What if...... What about the emperor's marriage? ”

"It's not my turn to give marriage, there are also the prince and the king of Wei, and the younger one, there is Chengping. You are so stupid, what did the concubine say, and you believed it? ”

Shen Yan blinked her eyes and savored this sentence. After thinking for a while, he found that he seemed to have been brought into the horns by Concubine Cui, and suddenly became enlightened for a while, and said with a low smile: "Yes, His Royal Highness is a famous god of war, so he doesn't have to suffer this grievance!" ”

His expression was full of pride.

If it weren't for being in the palace, Xu Yan probably wouldn't be able to help but hug her and kiss her a few times - the little wife is proud of him, what a good thing!

The clouds in the hearts of the two of them were gone, and they still walked out of the palace, but their steps were much brisker. Who knew that when passing through the palace gate near the Lama Temple, he met Emperor Huiping's sedan chair, and on the sedan chair, Emperor Huiping's face was gloomy, and he was obviously in a very bad mood.

The couple stopped to say hello, and when Emperor Huiping saw Shen Yu, he was surprised, "Princess Duan also entered the palace?" ”

"The concubine is unwell, and the courtiers brought her in to serve the sick." Xu Yan replied.

Emperor Huiping let out an "oh", his eyes were a little wandering, as if he hadn't heard this sentence in his ears.

After a while, he coughed lightly, "The fifth brother will go to the Lama Hall with me, He Chun-" He called the little eunuch behind him, "The scenery in the imperial garden is just right, you first serve Princess Duan to go shopping, and the fifth child will go over after finishing the matter." ”

The fifteen-year-old little eunuch He Chun responded to the order and bowed down to lead the way, "Princess, please go this way." ”

Shen Yu followed his guidance slowly, and when she thought of Emperor Huiping's gloomy face just now, she was a little absent-minded. It seems that Emperor Huiping has something important to discuss, there has been a lot of turmoil in the court recently, and the matter of King Wei has just passed, he called Xu Yan over, and I don't know what it is for?

Walking absent-mindedly like this, I took a few steps in the imperial garden, but I didn't get a taste.

He Chun was clever, seeing that Shen Yu was not too interested, and thought that she was tired of walking, so she said: "There is a flower viewing pavilion over there, do you want the princess to go and rest?" ”

"It's fine." Shen Yu agreed.

When she was about to walk to the edge of the pavilion, she saw a big bush of acacia planted there, Shen Yu felt happy, and couldn't help but walk over, but she heard the sound of Lang Lang reading behind the flowers, and listening to the sound, she looked like a teenager.
