Chapter 33 Those who lose must admit punishment
From the night when Shen Jiahe threatened herself, to so many things that happened later, Pei Yuan didn't ask her what kind of emotions she had for Pei Shu now.
She had just suddenly said such a sentence, which made Pei Yuan begin to guess in his heart how true this sentence would be, and he had to suspect that this might just be Shen Jiahe's angry words.
The queen had disrupted his marriage proposal plan by making a hindrance before, and the reason why he didn't stick to it was that he knew from the beginning that Shen Jiahe liked Pei Shu.
Now that she generously said the sentence 'She has no feelings for Pei Shu', Pei Yuan had to start looking at Shen Jiahe in front of her again, and the doubts she had once had resurfaced in her mind.
He also investigated in private, and there was absolutely no possibility of changing someone, it was really because she liked Pei Shu too lightly, so that she said that she would let it go, or that she had never liked Pei Shu.
Pei Shu was puzzled, so he could only ask her from his heart: "I remember that you used to care about him very much." ”
Shen Jiahe chuckled in her heart, secretly blaming herself for speaking in front of Pei Yuan without thinking, she was always so defenseless to Pei Yuan, and now she can only think of ways to remedy it: "I used to care about such a man if I was not sensible, but now that I am mature, I naturally won't like such a person." ”
Pei Yuan looked at Shen Jiahe's eyes, which were as clear as water, as if he was talking about the most normal facts, and he couldn't help but ask her, "What about now?" What kind of man do you like now. ”
The other party's eyes were too hot to look at him, and he didn't dare to look at each other, but he was reluctant to look away, Shen Jiahe muttered as if he was bewitched: "Naturally, I have the ability, responsibility, and ability to protect me at a critical moment, just like you." ”
When the last word came out of her mouth, Shen Jiahe immediately raised her hand to cover her mouth, what did she say just now, how could she accidentally expose her careful thoughts!
Seeing that Pei Yuan seemed to be stunned, Shen Jiahe hurriedly pulled out other things: "That...... What happened to the men in black who sent them to the government? ”
Pei Yuan coughed lightly before replying: "I was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn." ”
Shen Jiahe was stunned: "Didn't you ask who the instigator behind it was?" Or is it one of them who takes the lead? ”
Pei Yuan shook his head: "They insisted that they didn't know the identities of you and the girl of the Yao family, but they saw that you were dressed richly and knew that it must be a young lady from a rich family, so they were ready to rob someone to exchange some silver flowers with the family." ”
Shen Jiahe didn't believe a word in this, they obviously caught Yao Xinrou and then lured themselves to take the bait, the purpose was just to catch themselves, this matter was planned and premeditated, and it was by no means a temporary intention.
Jing Zhaoyin's Yao Xianhe didn't believe it either, because of the little girl's crying, he went to the yamen early in the morning, and was about to send someone to check on last night's affairs, when he heard the official report that someone had left six tied up black-clothed people at the door of his mansion last night, and they were being locked up in prison at this time.
Yao Xianhe realized that it was related to his daughter's matter, so he hurriedly took people to the interrogation room in the prison, ready to interrogate these people, but no matter how they were tortured, their statements were the same, just to kidnap and extort, and there was no other intention.
These people are not bandits, but well-trained killers, Yao Xianhe naturally doesn't believe that such a person would do this kind of kidnapping and blackmail, but the six of them have always been consistent with their words and deeds, and they really can't find out anything else, Yao Xianhe can only sentence them to be beheaded.
Shen Jiahe was not satisfied with this result, Pei Yuan told her that he had notified Ah Jin of the Yuan Pavilion and asked him to pay attention to it on the rivers and lakes in the near future, and if there were any clues, he would report it as soon as possible, so Shen Jiahe was relieved.
After talking about the matter, Shen Jiahe also said goodbye to Pei Yuan and prepared to return to King Kang's mansion, the evening was a banquet for Qin Xiaoshuang to celebrate, if she didn't show up, it would inevitably fall into the hands of others.
With the precedent of Qin Xiaoshuang poisoning the balm last time, in order to prevent Qin Xiaoshuang from doing things with the meal, after returning from King Xian's mansion, Shen Jiahe went directly to the kitchen to check.
"Princess, why are you here? There is a lot of smoke in the kitchen, if there is anything to order, you can just call the slave and maid over. Xiao Qi was originally directing everyone to be busy in the kitchen, but when he saw Shen Jiahe coming over, he hurriedly greeted him.
Shen Jiahe looked at everything in order, and nodded to Xiao Qi with great satisfaction, he was not wrong at the beginning, he was really a good hand.
"Everything is okay in the kitchen, have the people from Qin Xiangju been here?" Shen Jiahe looked around and asked.
"It's all good, it's not the first time, there are precedents to be found, don't worry, princess." As Xiao Qi spoke, he thought of the scene in the morning again, so he said with some displeasure, "The maid from Qin Xiangju came early in the morning, saying that she wanted to see if we were lazy and didn't work well. Just because it was a banquet specially held for their masters, not to mention being arrogant. ”
Sure enough, what the master is like, what the subordinate is like, Shen Jiahe only let Xiao Qi do his part: "These are not big things, it's good not to have problems with the meal." ”
Then he asked about some of the dishes at the dinner, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he asked Bai Ying to stay and help Xiao Qi take a look.
After Bai Ying saw Shen Jiahe leaving, she turned her head and asked Xiao Qi: "Little Qi girl, you helped make a few dishes I wrote for you last time." ”
"Miss Bai Ying don't worry," Xiao Qi pointed to a few people who were busy in the south of the kitchen, and said with a smile: "Na, these people are all cooking for the princess alone, except for the few dishes you wrote, the other meals are also made according to the princess's usual preferences, and I can't do anything about the princess." ”
Qin Xiaoshuang also got up early in the morning to dress up, wearing new clothes made for today not long ago, and bringing the latest hair and accessories, standing beside Pei Shu at this time to accept Pei Shu's concubines, with a smug face.
As the last concubine sat down, Qin Xiaoshuang looked at the still empty throne and complained to Pei Shu: "Lord Wang, is my sister not happy to celebrate the concubine, will she not come today?" ”
Pei Shu looked at the empty position, although he thought so in his heart, but he still said perfunctorily: "What do you think, you just have to be happy." ”
"How come, this is a good day for Concubine Qin's entry into the mansion, we naturally want to celebrate with my sister." Shen Jiahe walked in from outside with a smile, but he didn't look at her, and walked straight to the main seat and sat down.
Shen Jiahe's words made the concubines below cover their mouths and laugh secretly, she entered the mansion with a side concubine, but she regarded this as a very proud thing, in previous years, when there was no princess, these people didn't think there was anything, and now the princess is sitting on the main seat, this day looks very interesting.
Qin Xiaoshuang looked at Shen Jiahe sitting in the position where she was originally sitting, and there was a little anger in her tone: "If my sister really takes my sister to heart, she must have started preparing a month ago, so why bother to come to her and make a mess." ”
Shen Jiahe raised his eyes and swept her, and said softly: "My sister can ask the prince when he told me about this, after all, before entering the mansion, I have never heard of any family that wants to celebrate the day when the side concubine enters the mansion, this is the prince favors you, but it is not good if the side concubine is pampered and arrogant." ”
Qin Xiaoshuang still wanted to distinguish again, Shen Jiahe directly picked up the wine glass in front of him and said to the people around him: "When the palace has been in the palace for a long time, I have saved your morning and dusk province because I am troublesome, many sisters have not seen it here, today the palace will give you a cup of glass, I hope you can all serve the prince with all your heart in the future." ”
The concubines who sat down naturally all picked up their cups and stood up, Shen Jiahe looked at them one by one, and couldn't help but slander in his heart: Sure enough, he is a scumbag, and he actually put so many women at home.
The moment he put down the wine glass, Shen Jiahe looked at Qin Xiaoshuang who was sitting under him, and listened to people say that since Qin Xiaoshuang entered the house, except for special days, Pei Shu almost didn't go to other people's rooms, and she could firmly grasp Pei Shu among so many women, I have to say that she still has some means.
Her celebration will be made into a family banquet-like existence by Shen Jiahe, she used to be surrounded in the center like the stars and the moon, but today it has become Shen Jiahe's home field.
After three rounds of drinking, Shen Jiahe proposed that everyone come together to chant poems to help the fun: "It's better for the prince to give everyone a head first." ”
Pei Shu didn't retreat, looked up at the moonlight tonight, and said, "But under the crystal curtain, look at the autumn moon exquisitely." ”
"What the prince said is good, it really suits the situation, and the concubine also thinks of a sentence: The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring stone is upstream." A concubine dressed in green said.
Shen Jiahe nodded and then answered: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground." ”
In the latter sentence, Shen Jiahe only opened her mouth and did not say it, in this lively occasion, she looked at the staggering of the banquet, and suddenly felt a little lonely.
Pei Shu looked at her sparse side face and asked in a low voice, "Are you homesick?" Otherwise, I will accompany you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion in two days. ”
Shen Jiahe looked at him sideways, not understanding why he suddenly began to care about him, but he just shook his head, the home she was thinking about was not the Prime Minister's Mansion here.
Shen Jiahe looked at Qin Xiaoshuang: "Today you are the protagonist, why should you pick up a sentence." ”
Qin Xiaoshuang bit her lip, if she had figured it out, she would have gotten up and answered a long time ago, but the children of their grassland didn't learn these twists and turns, where could they win these Han people.
Shen Jiahe said with a smile: "Admitting defeat is to be punished, we have already set the rules before, those who lose have to do squats, don't break the rules." ”
Pei Shu also agreed: "Naturally, it should be like this, if you win, you have to give some prizes." ”
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoshuang had to reluctantly agree, but Qin Xiaoshuang didn't answer in the next few rounds, either he couldn't think of it, or he didn't deduct the question, and he answered the facts.
Shen Jiahe's eyes narrowed: "I am willing to lose the bet." ”
Qin Xiaoshuang began to do squats in front of everyone, one night, although there were other concubines who answered wrong or couldn't answer, but the most wrong was Qin Xiaoshuang, and finally she really felt embarrassed, and her legs hurt badly, so she stopped playing.
Pei Shu felt that she was a little childish and couldn't afford to play, but thinking that today's banquet was already for her, and he didn't want her to be unhappy, so he asked her to eat something by herself first.
He looked back at Shen Jiahe, remembering the day they entered the palace together, the two of them worked together to win the emperor and queen......
"Lord Wang, it's your turn, do you want to come out?" Shen Jiahe saw Pei Shu's expression in a trance, so he shouted twice.
"What?" Pei Shu came back to his senses, "Oh, I can't remember it for a while." ”
"That's if I win, the prince will give the prize when he turns around." Shen Jiahe smiled and winked at him.
