271 Child's Words
Anle Hou Mansion.
The emperor's canonization of Qu Wuwu soon spread throughout the government and the opposition, Qu Yizhu, as Mrs. An Lehou, and a person who came out of the Qu family, naturally some people who did good things took the initiative to come to the door to inform.
After sending away another gossipy official's wife, Qu Yizhu took advantage of her physical discomfort to ask the porter to refuse all visitors who came to her, and returned to the room alone.
Like Jin Yu and Liangyuan, she didn't understand Shen Wu'an's approach very much, but her temperament had always been peaceful, not like Jin Yu, but even so, she still felt like a breath of stuffy air was blocked in her throat, making her breathing not so smooth.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't sit still, so she simply walked out of the house again, stopped a passing maid and asked, "Is Master Hou back?" ”
The little maid shook her head, "Not yet!" ”
"I see." Qu Yizhu nodded, thought about it and grabbed the little maid who was about to leave, "Wait!" You ask someone to prepare a carriage, and I want to enter the palace!" ”
"Yes!" The little maid agreed, turned and left.
When An Lehou came back, he heard the porter report to him, saying that Mrs. Hou had entered the palace half an hour ago, and he didn't need to ask to know what Qu Yizhu was doing to enter the palace.
Afraid that Qu Yizhu would not be able to distinguish the severity and say something wrong to anger Shen Wu'an, An Lehou pondered for a while, and did not even enter the mansion gate, but also followed into the palace.
After entering the palace, he went straight to the imperial study, at this time Shen Wu'an had just finished reviewing today's recital, and asked Xiao Shunzi to make a pot of tea and was tasting it by himself, and when he saw him come in, he raised his hand and beckoned to him, "You came just in time, this is the new tea that is being paid tribute this year, you come and taste it." ”
An Le Hou Yiyan sat down opposite him, took a sip of the tea that Xiao Shunzi had poured for him, and said with a smile: "I just heard that this year's tea has come down a few days ago, but I didn't expect to drink the new tea so soon, thanks to the emperor, Weichen can have such a mouthful!" ”
"When did you learn how to slap those people on the back too?" Shen Wu'an put down the cup in his hand and looked at him with a smile, "Say, what are you coming to the palace for today?" ”
Hearing him take the initiative to ask, An Lehou didn't hide it any more, and replied with a smile: "Weichen heard that the lost pearl entered the palace today, so I came to ask her if she had caused trouble to the emperor." ”
"Trouble?" Shen Wu'an hooked the corners of his mouth when he heard this, "Are you afraid that I will do something to her?" ”
was guessed by him, An Lehou did not show an embarrassed look on his face, and calmly met his playful gaze, "If she says something to hit you, I hope the emperor can look at Weichen's thin face, don't worry too much about her, Weichen is here to apologize to the emperor now!" After saying that, he stood up and gave him a big salute.
Shen Wu'an hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, and shook his head with a smile, "I didn't expect you to protect your wife very much!" Don't worry, I didn't see her today! ”
Hearing him say this, An Lehou was stunned for a moment, "Didn't she come to the palace?" ”
"I don't know if I've entered the palace or not." Shen Wu'an said, lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in the cup, and then continued: "Anyway, it's true that she didn't come to me to ask for an explanation. ”
In fact, he also knew in his heart that doing this would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people around him, and he was ready to be questioned, but he waited from morning to now, not to mention Qu Wurong's sisterhood, even those girls didn't see a human figure, and the day passed peacefully!
So he was still wondering in his heart, and the others didn't care, Jin Yu was not a person who would wronged herself, just her little bit of temperament, she should have come angrily after hearing about it, but she hadn't seen a figure yet, I don't know if she changed her temperament, or was she stumped by something?
He naturally didn't expect that Jin Yu's anger had been extinguished by his son's words, and after Qu Yizhu entered the palace today, several girls told her the words of the little guy, which made her feel very reasonable, regardless of whether Qu Wurong's current status was what she deserved, with Shen Wuan's deep affection for Qu Wurong, as long as Qu Wurong came back, even if it was the power and status in his hands, Qu Wurong had to return it obediently!
This is also the reason why she didn't come to Shen Wu'an today.
An Lehou also felt very puzzled in his heart, but he didn't continue to ask, lowered his head and tasted tea for a while, before he suddenly made up his mind and asked, "Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”
They have been friends for a few years, although they don't dare to say how much they know the person in front of them, but An Lehou understands that he is not like a person who would do such a thing, the grievances between the sisters of the Qu family, even he, a later person, are clear, he doesn't believe that Shen Wu'an will really take a fancy to Qu Wuwu, so why did Shen Wu'an do this? He was so curious!
"Huh?" As if he didn't expect him to ask this, Shen Wu'an's hand that was about to drink tea paused, and then put down the cup in his hand again, "I just think that this can avoid some unnecessary trouble." ”
"Then why her?" An Lehou was puzzled.
"Huh!" Shen Wu'an lowered his head and chuckled, then raised his head to look at him again, and asked with a serious expression: "You say, if she knew that I married the person she hated the most, would she be angry?" Will...... I was so angry that I came back from Bailiao to ask me what was going on? ”
Hearing his words, An Lehou was stunned for a moment, and then understood his good intentions, "The emperor wants to ......"
"Actually, I'm not sure." Although he didn't finish his words, Shen Wu'an understood that he had understood his feelings, he lowered his head and played with the teacup in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also a little bitter, "However, there is no harm in giving it a try, right?" ”
He also knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to block the mouths of the courtiers, Qu Wuwu was not the only candidate, and he hesitated for a long time before this, and the reason why he made up his mind to canonize Qu Wuwu was inspired by Jin Yu's casual words.
That day, when he returned to the Qinzheng Palace, a few girls didn't know what they were talking about, and he heard Jin Yu say, "If Miss knows, she will definitely be angry", and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: If Qu Wurong knew that she had married the person she hated the most, would she also feel very angry?
That's why we have today's situation.
Hearing the obvious depression in his voice, An Lehou pursed his lips, not knowing how to comfort him. If it's something else, he can still help come up with ideas, but emotional matters are not something that outsiders can meddle in casually, this kind of thing is like drinking water, cold and warm self-knowledge, no matter how much outsiders say, it's useless.
Coming out of the imperial study, An Le Hou first went to the Qinzheng Palace to pick up the Qu Yizhu who had not yet left, and then the two of them took the carriage back to the Hou Mansion together.
On the way back, An Lehou told Qu Yizhu about his conversation with Shen Wu'an, and after listening to his words, Qu Yizhu was stunned for a long time before he asked in a complicated mood: "Husband, do you think the emperor's wish will be fulfilled?" ”
"I don't know." An Lehou shook his head lightly and held her hand, "But I hope that my sister can understand the emperor's hard work, and he has not had an easy time these years!" ”
"Hmm." Qu Yizhu nodded approvingly, "There have been so many things between them, it should be enough, Li'er has never seen her mother since she was a child, I really hope that their family of three can be reunited!" ”
Speaking of this, An Lehou suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of which, I thought you would get into trouble today, but I didn't expect your love to be so calm!" ”
Knowing what he was referring to, a flush flew on Qu Yizhu's pretty face, "I really wanted to ask the emperor today, but after entering the palace, I changed my mind." ”
"Why?" An Lehou looked at her curiously, "What made you change your mind?" ”
"It's because of Li'er's words." At the mention of this, Qu Yizhu couldn't help but purse her lips and smiled, "I heard Bai Xue and the others say that Jin Yu was angry after knowing about this, but just because Li'er said this, her anger disappeared completely. ”
Hearing her say this, An Lehou became even more curious, "What did the little guy say?" ”
"He said that whoever occupies his mother's position will return it to her when his mother returns." Qu Yizhu said, with a hint of anticipation on his face, "I really want to know what Qu Wuwu's reaction will be after hearing this." ”
An Lehou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed, "This little guy is really not simple!" ”
At the same time, Shen Wu'an also learned his amazing words from his son's mouth, and his reaction was exactly the same as An Lehou's, and after laughing, he asked, "So what?" After you said that, didn't the sisters get angry? ”
No wonder when he came back just now, he saw that the expressions of several girls were normal, and even Jin Yu's attitude towards him was the same as always, as if he was not affected by that incident at all, he originally felt strange, but now listening to his son say this, he can imagine how a few girls reacted when they heard it.
"My sisters aren't angry!" Hearing him ask, Xiao Shen blinked in confusion, "Although Sister Jinyu's face is red, she said that it was because it was too hot, not angry." ”
Shen Wu'an twitched the corners of his mouth, such an obvious excuse, probably only the little guy would believe it.
"Father, when will my mother come back?" Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking to himself, Xiao Shenli stretched out his hand and pulled his collar and asked softly.
Since he was a child, every time he asked where his mother was, the people around him would tell him that his mother was in a far away place, and he would come back when he grew up, but now that he has grown so big, he still hasn't even seen his mother's face.
It would be fine if no one mentioned it in front of him, but after experiencing something like today, it reminded him of his mother-in-law, so he would ask Shen Wu'an such a question.
I didn't expect him to ask like this, Shen Wu'an pursed his lips and was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head gently in the little guy's expectant eyes, "Father doesn't know either." ”
Sure enough, after hearing his answer, the look in Xiao Shenli's eyes suddenly darkened.
Unable to bear to see him disappointed, Shen Wu'an touched his head and promised, "However, my father will want to let your mother return to us as much as possible." ”
A smile immediately appeared on Shen Li's little face, "Hmm! ”
