Chapter 378: Succession
Recently, the situation in the capital seems to be very tense, and Zhao Jin is so busy every day that he can't see anyone in order to be able to hurry up and arrange a good situation in Beijing. Shen Ya often waited for him to fall asleep.
She went back to Duanfu today, and yesterday evening she specially wrote a letter for the people in the palace to bring to Shen Yan, and today Shen Yan did not go to the National Academy, but obediently waited for her in Duanfu.
Shen Ya told him about going to Lujia Village, and mentioned by the way that Zhao Jin was also going with her.
originally thought that Yan'er would be happy for her, after all, this was the first time since she and Zhao Jin got married, and the two traveled alone. But when Yan'er heard the news, she was taken aback: "Sister, brother-in-law really wants to go back to Lujia Village with you?" ”
Shen Ya saw that Yan'er's expression didn't seem quite right, so she asked, "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
Shen Yan pondered for a long time before he said, "Recently, the court has been arguing about the establishment of the crown prince. The brother-in-law was also one of the people who were referred. The eldest prince and the third prince probably didn't expect that one-third of the people in the imperial court would support their brother-in-law as the crown prince. So when my brother-in-law left Beijing at this time, didn't he give up the position of the crown prince in vain? ”
What the? Is there such a thing? When Shen Ya heard this, she was taken aback, she didn't know at all, Zhao Jin had never mentioned it to her, no wonder she had been busy recently.
After listening to Shen Yan's words, Shen Ya fell into deep thought. She is very conflicted now, she doesn't want Zhao Jin to be the prince. She only hopes that her husband can be by her side safely and for a long time, instead of being the emperor who worries about national affairs all day long, is shackled by hundreds of officials everywhere, and finally has to constantly expand the harem for the sake of his heirs.
But is that up to her? A qiē that Zhao Jin is doing now. Isn't it all about sitting in that position? Can she selfishly make Zhao Jin give up so many years of pursuit for herself?
She can't!
Shen Ya didn't know how she got back to the palace, and after listening to Yan'er's words. Her whole body was in a trance.
Beside her were Dongchun and Xia Xue's words of concern, but Shen Ya couldn't listen to them, she shook off the two of them, rushed into her room and closed the door, she just wanted to be alone and quiet, think about it, what to do!
In the past, she would also think about what Zhao Jin would do after she sat on the throne? But at that time, I always felt that these were too far away from me. It's useless to think too much!
But today, Yan'er told him that Zhao Jin is likely to be elected as the crown prince and inherit the throne in the future. For some reason, her heart was suddenly in turmoil.
It turns out that this qiē is already so close to him?
Shen Ya locked herself in her room for an afternoon, refusing to eat, and Dongchun and Xia Xue called outside for a long time and no one answered. I had to give up.
Evening. The two of them came to Shen Ya's door with food and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Shen Ya's weak voice sounded in the room.
The two maids were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly pushed the door in.
"Miss, what's wrong with you. When he came back from the old man's mansion, he locked himself in the house, and scared the slave to death. Xia Xue was straightforward and couldn't help but ask.
Dongchun tugged at her sleeve and motioned to her not to ask with her eyes. The young lady is in a bad state.
Xia Xue hurriedly covered her mouth and patted her head in annoyance. Then he smiled and said, "Miss, you're hungry." Mama made you your favorite dish. You see. ”
The two of them said as they brought the dishes in the food box to the table.
It's all Shen Ya's favorite food.
That's it.
Shen Ya sighed in her heart. There are some things that should come or come, and she can't stop them, so she might as well accept them calmly.
Since he chose Zhao Jin, he should have known that sooner or later there would be this day.
Shen Ya thought about it for an afternoon and figured it out, instead of being so passive and uncomfortable, it was better to take the initiative when the time came, what could she do if she didn't let Zhao Jin choose a concubine? Will he still take a break from himself?
If you should fight for your own interests, you should strive for it.
She's not so virgin, isn't she? Fulfill Zhao Jin, she can't do it if she wrongs herself.
It's a big deal, and the two of them will go their separate ways in the future.
Anyway, she can't accept a few women to serve a husband.
After figuring it out, Shen Ya felt that she was hungry, so she quickly got off the bed, walked towards eating, and as soon as she sat down, she began to gobble up.
I didn't eat lunch or dinner, and I almost starved to death.
When the two maids saw that the young lady was finally willing to eat, they almost cried with joy.
"Miss, slow down and choke carefully." Dongchun gave Shen Ya a bowl of soup funny, brought it to her, and looked at the young lady who was so eating, and the two of them knew that the young lady must be fine.
"En. You two haven't eaten either, so sit down and eat some together. I'm in a bad mood in the afternoon, so I scare the hell out of you. Shen Ya said vaguely while wrapping food in her mouth.
As soon as the two maids wanted to sit down, they heard the voice of the grandmother outside the house: "The prince is back." ”
Then I heard Zhao Jin ask, "What about Concubine Duan?" ”
"Mademoiselle is eating in the house."
Frightened, the two maids quickly got up and stood aside.
After a while, footsteps were heard getting closer and closer, and the door creaked open.
"See the prince." When the two maids saw Zhao Jin enter the house, they hurriedly saluted. "The slave maid will prepare the dishes and chopsticks for the prince." Xia Xue was the first to react and retreated.
Dongchun stood stubbornly for a while, feeling that the atmosphere was a little strange, and also made an excuse: "The slave maid went to see." And he departed from the land of right and wrong.
Zhao Jin saw that the two maids were gone, so he sat down opposite Shen Ya and looked at Shen Ya without saying a word.
Shen Ya continued to eat as if she hadn't seen him.
After a while, Zhao Jin said, "Yan'er told you." ”
When Shen Ya heard this, the hand holding the vegetables paused, and raised her head to look at him: "If Yan'er doesn't say it, how long are you going to hide it from me?" ”
Zhao Jin didn't say anything, and only said after a while: "The plan to go to Lujia Village remains unchanged, don't worry." ”
"Okay, you still have three days, and after three days, whether you want to or not, I will drag you into the carriage." Shen Ya was a little angry for some reason, angry at why he didn't answer her question just now, angry at why he didn't tell her about such an important matter. Is this still a couple?
Seeing Shen Ya lose his temper, Zhao Jin breathed a sigh of relief for some reason, and smiled slightly: "Okay." ”
Hum!
Don't get too happy. Shen Ya thought silently in her heart, waiting out of the palace to see how she cleaned up this guy. This time she had to teach the guy a lesson, so that he knew everything was going to be hidden from his wife.
Xia Xue stood quietly outside the house with dishes and chopsticks, feeling that the atmosphere in the house seemed to be better, so she entered the house happily: "Lord Wang, the slave maid brought you dishes and chopsticks." ”
"Take it, I won't keep food here, let him eat and go back to his own yard."
Xia Xue: "Isn't it already reconciled?" Why do you still feel like gunpowder?
Zhao Jin saw that Shen Ya was playing petty again, shook his head helplessly, got up and said, "Then the king will come back later." ”
After saying that, he got up and walked outside.
Xia Xue stood outside the door with the dishes and chopsticks in a daze, looking at the back of the prince who was a little lonely, and suddenly felt that the prince was so pitiful.
"Miss, can you not be so fierce to the prince. I feel so pitiful for the prince. ”
Seeing the prince leave the courtyard, Xia Xue said with some sympathy, "He is the prince after all." ”
Shen Ya was just saying something angry for a while, who knew that idiot really said to leave, now it's okay, she is even more angry.
"Poor him? I'm more pitiful than he is. You go and spread the word that I'm a little unwell tonight and can't see anyone. Later, you will go and lock the gate of the courtyard, and no one will come in. ”
After saying that, he put down the dishes and chopsticks in a huff, and he no longer had the appetite to eat.
This big idiot!
Shen Ya returned to the room, took a pillow and imagined it to be Zhao Jin's appearance, and beat it all the time.
Xia Xue was watching from the sidelines, and if she offended anyone, she couldn't offend Miss.
Late at night, the night is as cold as water. The bright moonlight shone on the earth, a silvery white.
Zhao Jin handled official business under the lamp, and Chongwu stood aside and waited for the master's dispatch at any time.
After writing the last few words, Zhao Jin finally put down his pen, folded the written note and put it in the envelope, and handed it to Chongwu.
"You give this letter to General Zhao. Zhao Jin hesitated for a moment: "Give it to Lu Jin." ”
"Yes." Shigego took Zhao Jin's letter and carefully hid it on his chest. "Master, are you really leaving Beijing this time?"
Zhao Jin turned his eyes to the window, looked at the bright moon in the sky outside the window, and said lightly: "This king doesn't want to wait any longer." ”
Chongwu seemed to understand what Zhao Jin meant, and immediately bowed his head and responded: "My subordinates understand, and my subordinates will do it." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left Zhao Jin's room.
After Zhao Jin finished handling official business, he came to Shen Ya's courtyard.
Zhao An, who was in charge of the lamp, saw that Shen Ya's courtyard had already been closed, so he stepped forward and pushed it, but it was locked. Zhao An turned back a little embarrassed: "Master, the courtyard door is locked." After speaking, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said in his heart: "This master is also too bold, knowing that the prince is coming, he actually locked the courtyard door." ”
Zhao Jin rubbed his temples helplessly, and said in a low voice: "You go down first." ”
"This" felt Zhao Jin's undoubtedness, and Zhao An finally compromised and obediently retreated, leaving the lamp to the master.
As he walked, he muttered: "The master has met a nemesis this time." ”
It wasn't until Zhao An's figure disappeared around a corner that Zhao Jin picked up the lamp, jumped into Shen Ya's courtyard, and jumped into Shen Ya's courtyard. Familiar with the door to her boudoir door, pushed, still locked.
Zhao Jin smiled helplessly, so he found the window and knocked gently.
I didn't expect the people inside to be asleep yet, "Who." ”
"Me." The voice was hoarse and helpless.
"I slept." Shen Ya knew that it was Zhao Jin, but she was still angry in her heart, and she just didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Don't make a fuss, this king is tired and wants to rest."
"You want to rest and go back to your own Zangyuan Pavilion, why are you here with me?" It's good that Shen Ya didn't listen to Zhao Jin's words, but when she heard it, the fire was even greater, this guy was a straight man in the universe at all, he had to listen to him for everything, put him first, would he die if he apologized?
There was a sudden silence outside.
As soon as Shen Ya heard that there was no sound outside, she rolled over from the bed, walked to the window, and as soon as she opened the window, a dark shadow rushed in. (To be continued.) )
