Chapter 37: Difficult to Choose
The imperial garden was not too far from the palace gate, and it didn't take long for Shen Nanyan to arrive at the palace gate.
Raise your eyes and look into the palace wall, the red walls and green tiles, the tall and majestic buildings also stand there, and the deep palace is resplendent and splendid, which makes people have to sigh its luxury.
The long eyelashes can't cover the coldness in her eyes,
Shen Nanyan picked up the specially picked flowers in Qingyin's hand, sniffed lightly and quickly dropped the flowers. No matter how beautiful it looks, it is just a red and pink skeleton, and after a hundred years, it will turn into a handful of loess.
Just like her, this life is dull and dull, faded into the flowing water, I didn't expect that today I would calculate her brother once, and I would also calculate the emperor once, and I also slapped the young lady of the Zhao family with her own hands.
Today, she is really living vigorously, as if life should be like this.
Beat that Miss Zhao family for nothing else, just because she slandered him, the person who should not have suffered from the world's insults, others can say that she is fake benevolence and false righteousness, pretending to be a gesture, because she has never been sincere to other people, how to talk about the word benevolence and righteousness. But others said he shouldn't be.
At that time, when she heard that Miss Zhao family slandering him like this, she always secretly thought in her heart, if he was also here today, what would he do? Do you smile and smile, or do you stand there and be silent for a long time?
I wanted to hold back, but when Shen Jin came to pull her, she was heartbroken, and said to herself that she would be presumptuous this time, no matter what, she would also seek justice for Mu Zhao.
So she beat the noblewoman, and hit her hard.
As for that poem, she was indeed using the poem to satirize Song Heng's mediocrity, and she didn't notice it. Mu Zhao's talent and ability are above many officials in the DPRK and China, and he shouldn't just stay at the border like that and bury his talent.
When Empress Fang Cai and Concubine Yu were entangled between her and Murong Qingyao, they were puzzled at first, obviously they were building momentum for the princess, why did they want to get involved with Murong Qingyao, and the relationship between Murong Qingyao and herself was extraordinary, the queen could not be so stupid as to make a special trip to choose her sister-in-law, there was only one possibility, that is, the two would fight, and finally Concubine Lan would announce the name of the princess, which would be more straightforward.
I never thought that in the end, Song Heng made a final decision and selected Li Zheng to make the queen's wishful thinking come to naught, although she went through a lot in the middle, anyway, in the end, her goal was achieved.
Although it was chosen by the queens this time, but this poetry meeting had ulterior motives, Song Heng should be able to see if he was not stupid, he should have read the poem in person anyway, and the poem she wrote specifically was for the emperor to see.
Let him know how unfair he is and how inappropriate the decisions he makes.
I thought that Mu Zhao left Beijing to avoid herself, but she didn't expect that she secretly sent someone to inquire, only to know that Mu Zhao had stayed in the palace for a long time before coming out, and when he came out, he already had the holy decree in his hand, and they heard that Mu Zhao was in a trance that day, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
If he had asked to leave Beijing by himself, he shouldn't have had such an expression.
No matter why Song Heng made this decision, Shen Nanyan still held grievances for Mu Zhao in his heart, Mu Zhao's ability was obvious to all, why did he stay away from Kyoto because of some other factors.
So when this poem flashed in her mind, she wrote it down without hesitation, not for herself, but for Mu Zhao.
She could bear to be separated from He and never see each other again, but she couldn't bear to let him stay in the bitter cold and harsh place for years, or even for a lifetime.
Since Song Heng read her poems, she would naturally understand her intentions, and as she expected, Song Heng really sent someone to find them after the poetry meeting.
The Great Liang Dynasty generally did not have the custom of the emperor privately summoning the daughters of ministers, and generally had to be personally invited into the palace by the empress, or issued an order to announce that they would stay in the harem to accompany them, even the last time Song Heng left her was also a special circumstance, in order to contain the Shen Mansion in front of the civil and military officials, he personally ordered her to stay.
For this reason, Song Heng will definitely let her brother go to the imperial study, as if she calculated her brother. When he returned home, she was making amends to him.
The atmosphere in the imperial study was very depressing, Shen Jin explained everything to Song Heng, and said all the good things he thought he had in his life, Song Heng just chuckled and then looked at him deeply without speaking.
Indeed, even he didn't believe that Shen Nanyan just wrote poems casually, and had no other intentions, let alone Song Heng.
Song Heng is still stupider than him? So how else is he going to govern the country.
"You're so close." Song Heng released these words idly, almost making Shen Jinmeng, what is this? What's his name? Sister? Is this also close?
Could it be Brother Guishi? Isn't that what I and he call it? Any questions?
Soon he found that it seemed that the moment he came in from outside, Song Heng addressed Mu Zhao as Mu Guishi, not Guishi.
Could it be that they have a conflict? Or is it a rupture?
Break? Shen Jin was laughed at by his own thoughts, how could it be possible, the three of them grew up together since childhood, how could they be the ones who would break up for her sister.
"You guessed it, I've broken with him." Looking at Shen Jin's expression, Song Heng immediately guessed what he was thinking, and Song Heng affirmed Shen Jin's conjecture loudly.
"What?" Shen Jin looked at Song Heng with an incredulous face, how could it be, how could this be?
How could he break with Mu Zhao, how could he break up, couldn't it be for his sister?
"Why is this happening?" Shen Jin was a little afraid to ask the reason.
"As you can imagine, it's because of her." Song Heng said the reason expressionlessly.
Shen Jin was a little difficult to accept for a while, his two best brothers broke up for his sister, and he was still in the middle of the two, when his sister liked Mu Gui, Song Heng liked his sister, and he wanted his sister to be with Song Heng, so did Mu Gui like his sister or not?
He remembered asking him before, and he said he didn't like it, since Mu Guishi didn't like his sister, and he asked Mu Guishi to break his sister's thoughts, then Song Heng and Mu Zhao wouldn't have come to this point.
"Mu Zhao doesn't like my sister, you don't have to give up your years of relationship for my sister." Shen Jin still wanted to keep it.
As soon as the words fell, Song Heng seemed to have heard some funny joke, and laughed there: "You said that Mu Gui didn't like Shen Nanyan?" What did he tell you? ”
Shen Jin saw that Song Heng's behavior did not seem to be fake, and he was suspicious in his heart: "Could it be ......?"
"Ah Jin......" Song Heng looked at Shen Jin and said very calmly: "We were all deceived by him, he and your sister are in love with each other, and it has never been your sister who is infatuated with him." Later, when it came to the same heart, he almost gritted his teeth when he was happy with each other.
"They definitely can't be together." Shen Jin resolutely refused this to happen.
Seeing that Shen Jin was so decisive and decisive, Song Heng didn't have any joy in his heart, and slowly explained the reason: "Mu Guishi has a heart disease, you know? ”
Shen Jin nodded, the last time he was drinking in Wupinju, he suddenly had a seizure, and the pain was unbearable.
"His heart disease is not an ordinary bad heart, it is heartache, once the words are contrary to the true thoughts of his heart, his heart will be as torn as severe pain as unbearable, if it is like this for a long time, the heart will be oppressed, more and more painful each time, and finally die of heart disease." Song Heng said this very normally, I don't know if it was because he was angry when he learned that he and Shen Nanyan had a heart-to-heart and liked each other, and he didn't have any emotions about the rest of the things, or what.
……………
The night was quiet, and the cold wind blew from the corridor, mixed with a chill. The white ribbon's hair swayed slightly, making a tiny sound in his ears.
A voice seemed to come from afar, ethereal and ethereal.
"Ah Jin is polite, your sister is my sister."
"Ah Jin doesn't have to be polite, you and I grew up together, and we really don't need to see each other like this."
"Ah Jin still called me back, I don't know when we actually called each other by our last names."
When you return, you lied to me!
You lied to me! Why are you lying to me when you obviously like her! Why would he rather endure the pain of heart disease and say that he has never liked her.
It's time to return! You're stupid. I asked you to go and break her infatuation, you will go, when did you become so good?
When I returned, did I always fail to stand with you?
He walked aimlessly on the palace corridors, full of alcohol, his long hair scattered behind him, and his eyes were blank.
What should he do? What should his sister do? What should I do when I return?
For the sake of Mu Guishi, he shouldn't have been so selfish to let him give up Shen Nanyan.
For the sake of his sister's joy and happiness, he could not agree that his sister would be with Mu Guishi.
What the hell should he do? Where do we go from here?
All kinds of emotions came to my heart, and finally turned into a sigh.
That's it! That's it! It's up to fate.
His mind seemed to be a little dizzy, and Shen Jin stumbled forward, trying to walk into this darkness.
The night in the palace was so cold, so dark, he couldn't stay in it anyway.
It's creepy and terrifying.
Tremble with fear! This word suddenly flashed in Shen Jin's mind, and the thing that had been supporting him for so long seemed to be broken.
Is he really wrong, he shouldn't insist on supporting Song Heng and his sister, the night in the palace is so cold and dark, he can't accept it as a big man, let alone her.
She has been insecure since she was a child, if she really enters the palace with Song Heng in the future, then how can she survive this lonely night alone.
"Lord Shen, you are drunk, let the servants send you back to the Shen Mansion."
The little eunuch looked at Shen Jin's stumbling appearance and refused to be supported, and hesitated to speak.
"Shen Mansion?" Although Shen Jin was drunk and his thoughts were confused, he could still recognize the words of the little eunuch.
"Don't go back to Shen Mansion, go to Mu Mansion!" Shen Jin said in a daze.
Mufu, what are you doing in Mufu this big night? Have tea with a Muslim?
Isn't this Lord Shen on good terms with Mu Gongzi?
The little eunuch looked at Shen Jin with a little doubt, and reminded him: "Lord Shen, Master Mu is afraid that he has already rested, so it is better to go again tomorrow." ”
Shen Jin thought about it with his only remaining consciousness, realized who Master Mu was, and said, "Go to Xiaozhu on the outskirts of Beijing." ”
