Chapter Fifty-Four: No Face Becomes New Hate
Guishuang didn't expect Shen Qiyuan to say this. Everything she heard at this moment seemed to be mocking her sincerity for being trampled on and turned into powder.
She couldn't imagine that Shen Qiyuan would really rather offend Tianwei and risk the failure of the peace talks between the two countries to say that he would not marry her, and she couldn't imagine that this reason was actually the first person she trusted after coming to the capital.
Actually, Shen Anyan?
Although she knew that it was impossible for Shen Qiyuan to tell a lie on such an occasion, she still didn't believe it, so much so that she asked again: "You and Shen Anyan already have a marriage contract?" Aren't you her uncle? ”
Shen Qiyuan frowned, and said calmly: "Your Highness doesn't know, I am not the biological heir of the Shen Mansion, but the old Marquis Shen took pity on me for being lonely and displaced, so he brought me back to the Shen Mansion to raise me." The junior of the Shen family just called me uncle for the sake of etiquette. ”
"As for the marriage contract, it was not announced because it was made before the expedition. But just because it's unknown doesn't mean it doesn't work. Shen really can't go against his heart and marry Her Royal Highness the princess. ”
Guishuang laughed angrily: "Really? Is that so? ”
Those who can climb this Jinluan Hall and discuss the affairs of the society with His Majesty are all clear-eyed people, and they can't see that this Princess Guishan is extremely angry, and I am afraid that this matter will not be good. Therefore, they all remained silent, so as not to be involved in this fat powder lawsuit and become the innocent person who was affected.
But General Shen is also pitiful, he went out to fight and brought back such a difficult master, if he really marries home, this princess is too powerful, and she can fight well, and her life in the future will not be better. If you don't marry home, this Liang Zi will not be married, and when the time comes, Princess Guishan will lose face, and it will definitely implicate the relationship between the two countries.
His Majesty, who was sitting on the top dragon chair, saw that the atmosphere of these two people was not right, and the theory of other places was just that, don't hit him again in this Jinluan Hall after a while, and make a joke.
So he only appeased the two sides first, leaving room for the negotiation of this matter: "I have seen Qi Yuan and Guishuang's thoughts, and this matter is not in a hurry at this time." Shen Qing can go back again to see if there is room for reversal in this matter, and Princess Guishan should also calm down first, and the matter of marriage should be taken slowly so as not to hurt Tianhe. ”
But it is clear that neither side has been appeased by His Majesty's rhetoric.
Shen Qiyuan still had that cold and solemn look, while Guishuang's expression was already a little distorted.
She can accept that there is another person hidden in Shen Qiyuan's heart, and she can accept that the girl Shen Qiyuan is hiding can be anyone, but it can't be Shen Anyan. Since the marriage contract was made before the expedition, when she went to find Shen Anyan at that time, how could Shen Anyan still drink wine and tea with her so casually, and match her?
In the end, he saw the wrong person, Shen Anyan was not a person who cherished him at all as he thought, but the city was deep, and he was a person who played with himself in the palm of his hand from beginning to end, and secretly looked at his jokes where no one was, is that so?
Guishuang only felt that he was betrayed not only by Shen Qiyuan but also by Shen Anyan at this moment.
She has always been proud, how can she be willing to suffer this secret loss, and after leaving the court, she left angrily, wanting to find Shen Anyan for an explanation.
However, he didn't want to be stopped halfway through, and this person had a vague charm of Shen Anyan between his eyebrows, but it was different from Shen Anyan's well-behaved aura, but that kind of dignified and atmospheric face.
She vaguely felt that they were other girls in the Shen Mansion, but she didn't look down on them in the first place, let alone tell Shen Anyan about it. Guishuang is now full of boredom with the entire Shen family, and his face is a little irritable at this moment, and he is about to take a whip to pull away the person who is in the way.
But I heard someone shouting: "Your Royal Highness Princess, here is Shen An, the eldest daughter of the Shen Mansion, I can tell you everything you want to know." If Your Highness hears this, and still thinks that it is wrong for me to come here at this moment, and His Highness angrily reprimands, I am willing to accept it. ”
I saw that this person was not Shen An, she never took the initiative to take care of things on weekdays, but today when she saw Guishuang being so menacing, she still couldn't help but want to come forward to say peace and one or two.
Shen Anyu saw that Guishuang finally stopped as if he wanted to listen to her, so he walked towards Guishuang and asked gently: "Your Highness is two steps further ahead of my Luoxia Courtyard, why don't you go to my place to eat two teas to get rid of the fire, and let's talk about this matter slowly?" ”
Guishuang was full of anger, and she didn't want to be angry, as long as she didn't pull Shen Anyan out and ask her clearly, she wouldn't be at peace for a day.
Seeing her hesitation, Shen Anqi had no choice but to persuade: "Your Highness just wants to know about Second Master Shen and the third girl, and you can't go straight to ask the two of them." In the end, the second master and the third girl have their own thoughts, and His Royal Highness will inevitably have a new misunderstanding if he goes so rashly.
When the time comes, won't we let the truth get farther and farther away, and sometimes look at what the bystanders think, but you can discover new horizons. ”
Guishuang also wanted to understand this matter, and felt that there was nothing to lose by listening to her words, so he glanced at Shen Anyu coldly and motioned for her to lead the way to Luoxia Courtyard.
Shen Anyao's Luoxia Courtyard is very elegant and exquisite with a woman in Beijing, but unfortunately Guishuang can't appreciate these cumbersome beauties, and now she just wants to hurry up and hear what this Shen Anyao has to say.
Shen Anyun first made a pot of tea for Guishuang: "Add dried chrysanthemums to remove the fire." It is useless for His Highness to go to Bibo Courtyard to find the third sister now, she naturally has her own set of truths, and His Highness may not be able to understand it. ”
"Rest for a while to calm down, and then it's not too late to go to Xingshi to ask about the guilt." Shen An's eyes are very appeased, this is her advantage, she has always known it.
It's a pity that Guishuang didn't want to look at her, just snorted coldly, and said, "If you want to say it, what is the roundabout tact?" Are you going to intercede for Shen Anyan? ”
Shen Anyan didn't answer Guishuang's question, but just started to talk about Shen Anyan's past.
"Your Highness thinks that the third sister has betrayed your trust. Have you ever thought that the third sister is also very difficult? She has already been divorced once. The customs of the Central Plains are not quite the same as those of your country, and it is difficult for those who have quit once to get married to find another wishful husband. The third sister easily obtained the blue eyes of the second master, just like a drowning man grasping the last straw. ”
Shen An sighed, meaningful: "What Your Highness is competing for is just a fresh favorite, but for the third sister, winning it is her glory and wealth in the second half of her life in the capital." Although they are all inevitable, they are very different from His Highness. She may not like the second master much, but she can't lose him. ”
When Guishuang heard this, he pondered for a moment, raised his eyes, and his eyes were gloomy.
