309 Admiration
But Emperor Qinglong knew it well in his heart...... Not really.
He has great ambitions, how can he delay his time in the little things of love? The reason why he is close to Miss Chen back then is precisely because she is Miss Chen. As for the later relationship, he was indeed moved, so much so that he always forgot that his original heart at the beginning also began to complain about Chen, refusing to agree to his marriage proposal and refusing to help him.
At this moment, facing the Yiren who looked like she did back then, there was more undisguised relief and pride in her eyes...... Emperor Qinglong finally felt weak and ashamed.
"There's nothing you can't hold me back." Mrs. Shen Si shook her head lightly: "In the dark, everything has its own providence. ”
"Maybe it's because Taizu condemns ......," she said abruptly: "I have a flawed appearance, and I have no relationship with the royal family after all." Even if you and I continue to insist, what then? ”
"And at that time, I was already disheartened, and I didn't want to appear in front of you like this no matter what......" That's why she was so resolute, refused to see him again, hurriedly married someone and stayed away from the capital, and ten years passed.
Mrs. Shen Si didn't say these explicitly, but Emperor Qinglong heard it.
He opened his mouth and looked at Yiren's quiet face, and for a moment, he couldn't speak.
The black veil that stood between his forehead, like an elaborate ornament, blocked his lips that he wanted to speak. It seems that in front of this forehead veil, any defense is so pale and powerless, and it is only sarcasm to say it.
"Does Your Majesty know?"
Mrs. Shen Si said calmly: "The Chen family now has a Chen champion, and it is rumored that he is a Wenqu star. but the stars descend to earth...... So the girl who can match him definitely needs a daughter who is deeply blessed, and the Huang daughter has been warned before she gets married, and the two are not vigilant, and still insist on the marriage contract, so that Grandma Chen is now seriously ill in bed, and time ......is running out."
Emperor Qinglong was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Mrs. Shen Si was talking about. He knew about Chen Houyun's marriage, and he also asked for a marriage decree for Chen Houyun, so that the two could get married. But he didn't know that Huang was now lingering on the sickbed. So much so that it reached the realm of dying.
The point is. Why did she bring this up?
Mrs. Shen Si didn't have any doubts when Emperor Qinglong, and quickly said, "I'm thinking, if I refused to give up back then, I would have to insist." What will happen now. She raised her hand. Gently touched the forehead veil. Said slowly: "If a person's fate is predestined, this scar is a warning to my persistence back then...... If I keep warning, will I end up like a moth to a fire? ”
She doesn't have enough life. So I can't be the phoenix of the world.
Emperor Qinglong understood her words, but he immediately became angry and said, "I don't allow you to think like that!" He was so excited that he almost wanted to grab Mrs. Shen's hand.
Mrs. Shen Si shook her head and let go of him: "Your Majesty, you probably didn't understand what I meant. ”
"Junyi, you ......"
The two of them sat across the table, and it was not easy for Emperor Qinglong to touch Mrs. Shen Si. At this time, Mrs. Shen Si's body retreated slightly, and her hand was withdrawn, if he wanted to touch her again, His Majesty stood up and walked a few steps to succeed. And to do these actions, it is obvious that it is not enough to rely on a momentary impulse.
Emperor Qinglong has been high for a long time, and he will no longer be happy and angry, but is used to being calm and quiet. Therefore, although he was in a stirring mood, he did not have the impulse to stand up and walk over.
"I mean, I'm always lucky." Mrs. Shen Si recalled that year: "At that time, I refused to see you again, so I chose a foreign son and married in a hurry. But I didn't expect that God favored me, no matter how indifferent I was, he treated me with tenderness and sincerity, and the days could not be said to be very happy and joyful, but they were also peaceful. ”
"After so many years of peaceful life, having children, I can't always think of myself as a piece of ice." Mrs. Shen Si said abruptly: "In any case, he is not wrong, and the children are not wrong. ”
"I, Chen Junyi, can have today's life, and I should be content...... Otherwise, it will be damned. ”
Emperor Qinglong, of course, knew about Mrs. Shen's life all along. He knew very well how indifferent she was to Fourth Master Shen in the past, to the point of being unkind. And as she said, her attitude at home was also in the last few years. Maybe that Shen Chongyan is not powerful and talented enough, and he is even worse off from this emperor, but he treats her impeccably.
"Your Majesty, I won't hide it from you, I used to think of it." Mrs. Shen Si said in a low voice: "I have thought about what would happen if I were in the position of the Liao family. ”
"How?" Emperor Qinglong's voice was a little difficult.
Mrs. Shen Si looked down at the tea cup in her hand and was speechless for a long time. Just when Emperor Qinglong thought that she would not speak again, he heard her say lightly: "It will be like what my father said just now." ”
"Pain, jealousy...... Either I went away depressed, or I became a vicious and ugly person who I didn't even look down on. ”
Emperor Qinglong was silent again.
Mrs. Shen Si stood up, bowed to Emperor Qinglong, and said, "Your Majesty, I am very happy that you can come today...... But you are a true dragon, your eyes, your heart, should be in the world, should be admired by all the people...... and deserve my admiration. Your Majesty, cherish! ”
With that, she gently retreated, leaving Emperor Qinglong and leaving the side hall.
Emperor Qinglong couldn't speak, so he couldn't keep her. He sat silently, only feeling a little empty in his heart, but he didn't know where it was. It seems uncomfortable, but it's not so uncomfortable. On the contrary, there is some calm. At least there is no anger, no regret, and no dissatisfaction.
No one came to disturb him.
It's not like somewhere else, saying that there is no one, but there is always someone standing in a corner that he can't see. Those people guarded him, and he was never alone.
But at this moment, in the side hall of this Shen family, in this small space, there is only him.
In the distance, Old Man Chen and Fourth Master Shen were still talking nonchalantly. Emperor Qinglong couldn't hear what they were talking about. It made him feel quieter and quieter.
Finally, Old Man Chen and Fourth Master Shen came closer.
Chen Houwen and Shen Duanrong did not follow again. The two men left the side hall through the north door.
"Your Majesty, it's time for you to go back." Old Man Chen's face was as usual, but he reminded Emperor Qinglong.
Emperor Qinglong nodded, his eyes fell on Master Shen Si, squinting his eyes and examining him up and down several times, just when others thought he was going to say something, Emperor Qinglong withdrew his gaze and said, "Let's go." ”
With that, he led the way out of the side hall. (To be continued.) )
