Need to choose?

The queen had no choice at all.

A long time ago, she knew clearly that when she walked out of Kunning Palace, it was the time when she died!

This is her life.

Fortunately, her son will become the lord of the world!

All the reluctance was poured out with the bitter cry just now. The queen mother knelt calmly, and when she looked up again, the corners of her mouth were already overflowing with black blood!

"Queen Mother!" The prince screamed in grief and was heartbroken.

The Queen Mother stared coldly at the queen, deaf to the prince's sorrowful cries.

The concubines who saw the queen's condition because of the prince's grief had already exclaimed a few times in shock, but soon noticed that none of the masters inside had the intention of summoning the imperial doctor, not even the prince and the second prince, so they immediately covered their mouths and lowered their heads, and did not dare to look ahead.

Especially the crown princess, there are turbulent waves in her heart!

Looking at the queen mother's demeanor, the queen was clearly forced to commit suicide! And as sons of man, the two highnesses were only grieving, and they had no resistance to save! That is to say, they also think that the queen deserves to die!

What kind of big mistake did the queen make! That's it!

Could it be the emperor's illness......

The crown princess shouldn't have thought about it deeply, she lowered her head like those concubines, she didn't even dare to cry, she held her breath and was silent.

After a long time, a grandmother tested the queen's snort and pulse forward, and then solemnly told the queen mother and the king Ying: "The queen is affectionate, follow the emperor!" ”

"Queen!"

With this sentence, the crown prince and the second prince immediately cried in grief!

The concubines were also under instruction. Suddenly, they cried bitterly! It's dark!

Later, when the people in the market recalled the eleventh year of Qinglong, they remembered the great mourning of the emperor and queen at that time! The whole autumn is shrouded in endless autumn rain, as if heaven and earth are lamenting for the deceased!

Because of the indecisive autumn rains, there are hardly any sunny days, and there is hardly any harvest in the fields.

This was supposed to be destined to be a major natural disaster, but under the government's strong and timely disaster relief measures, ordinary people were not displaced, let alone few lost their lives.

In previous years, there were disaster years because there was no food!

The only remaining grains. The price of food will inevitably rise vigorously. Even the government can't interfere! But now, because of the steady stream of grain sent by the Nanyang Commercial Bank, the price of grain did not fluctuate much, and the government provided some relief, and the people easily survived the disaster year!

It's just a little less income!

There are no cases of starvation to death!

So. When the crown prince inherited the great treasure without panic. After the arrival of the New Year, the era name was changed to Qingping. After announcing tax reductions and amnesty to the world, when the spring breeze and warm sun fell on the land south of the Yangtze River. There is no trace of the disaster year in people's hearts, and they are smiling and welcoming the new year with hope.

The first year of Qingping.

The ice and snow melt, and spring returns to the earth.

The Moon Lake in Shenjia Village was also thawed, and dozens of big white geese were leisurely swaying on the lake, and they saw a few horses stepping on the stone road into the village, just flapping their wings, and continuing to wave the waves.

"Young Master Duanrong! You're back! "Some people on the side of the road recognized the person and greeted them affectionately.

When the person came, he flew off his horse and said a few words to the people on the side of the road. It was Shen Duanrong who came back from the capital.

Not long after, several masters of the Shen family hurriedly came out of the ancestral house after receiving the report, glanced at Shen Duanrong, and immediately set their eyes on a young man in green shirts. Master Shen San came out of the queue and said respectfully: "Lord Xiao Chen's visit to Hancun is really a distinguished guest!" ”

Chen Houyun hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Chen Houyun greets the elders. Before coming down, it was to visit the elders, and the third master was polite. "He is Mrs. Shen's nephew. The elders of the Shen family are all his real elders.

"Then I'll wait and call you a nephew." Master Shen San said with a smile on his face.

"As it should be." Chen Houyun is very humble.

After some politeness, several masters of the Shen family led Chen Houyun to the ancestral house of the Shen family and held a banquet in the guest hall to entertain them. Not long after he sat down, Chen Houyun sent Shen an excellent news:

"The new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, it is a good time for the two elders to make a comeback." Chen Houhan looked at the surprised Shen San with a smile, and said, "If the two elders have nothing else to do, they might as well go to the capital as soon as possible, and they can weigh their plans." ”

"Really?" Master Shen San couldn't help but ask, and then hurriedly said: "To be honest, Jiji has been camping for more than ten years, and this sudden retreat, I am really not used to being idle for so long." I'm not afraid of my nephew's jokes, if there is no good news, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to maintain a calm state. ”

For a descendant like Chen Houyun, who is superior in intelligence and wisdom to his juniors, Master Shen San will never dare to put himself at the height of his elders, nor will he dare to pretend to be high. On the contrary, when he said what was in his heart like this, he showed that he was true and not fake, and it was easier to win Chen Houyun's favor.

At least Master Shen San can be sure that his words like this will never disgust Chen Houyun.

Chen Houyun really showed a hint of appreciation, and looked at Master Shen Si again.

Fourth Master Shen pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "That, Houyun, I can't give you an answer yet, I always have to ask your aunt's opinion." ”

Chen Houyun nodded and smiled.

Master Shen and Second Master Shen are not officials, but they are also very happy. The fact that the third master Shen and the fourth master Shen were able to recover shows that the previous crisis of the Shen family has truly passed! When they go out to socialize with others, they can also straighten their waists and be upright, and they no longer need to back down and scruples!

It's just that Master Shen Si didn't think about whether to be an official or not...... But in my heart I am happy for myself, for my wife, and for my daughter!

The atmosphere in the banquet hall immediately became lively, listening to Chen Houyun explain the situation in the capital and the estimation of the general trend of the world. Standing in the center of the capital, he saw a lot, knew a lot, had outstanding intelligence, and his vision and insights were naturally extraordinary. Several old men have gained a lot, and they asked the doubts in their hearts, and listened to Chen Houyun's answers and instructions, and before they knew it, a long time had passed.

Shen Duanrong listened honestly at first.

Gradually, he felt that the words asked by his elders were all that he had consulted with the gentlemen in the academy on weekdays, and that Chen Houyun had also taught him, so he gradually became less interested. But he didn't show it in the slightest, he stood with his hands tied and listened carefully.

Shen Duansong suddenly appeared outside the hall and looked at Shen Duanrong.

Seeing this, Shen Duanrong whispered to Shen Si Master, took a few steps back, and quietly walked out of the banquet hall. Shen Duansong had already left the door of the banquet hall and stood by the lake stone in the corner staring at him. Behind him, there was a canna plant that was already high above the lake rocks, and its fat leaves were very thick green, swaying gently in the wind. (To be continued.) )
