Xuanyuan Hao's face was as usual, and he said some polite words of comfort to Li Shen, but Li Shen didn't seem to be thinking about the death of his wife, and he began to show loyalty to the prince again after he couldn't say a word or two.

Shen Lian couldn't hear it, so he couldn't help but interrupt his words and asked, "Master Li, this palace heard that you and your wife have been together for many years, and she is gone, leaving you and a few children, but you have to take care of yourself!" Her expression was serious, as if she was really comforting Li Shen not to be too sad, only Xuanyuan Hao glanced at her, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a trace of arc that seemed to be there or not, knowing that Shen Lian was reminding Li Shen that today was the funeral of his wife, not the moment for him to be promoted.

Li Shen's face changed suddenly, he paused for a moment, and when he spoke again, his voice was already filled with sadness and uncontrollable crying: "What the crown princess said is that the clumsy Jing and the lower officials have a deep and righteous relationship, and I really ...... her when she goes" Speaking of this, he hid his face and cried bitterly, Shen Lian looked at his performance coldly, and felt disgust in his heart, and said in his heart: "This Li Shen, he really got off the donkey, and just threw his deceased wife out of the clouds, and now he started to show the deep love between husband and wife again, but it's a pity, your performance is too clumsy, If there were a little tears of sincerity, it wouldn't be just a howl here. ”

Thinking about it, I felt a little irritable, picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea, the prince threw a look over, and said, "You provoked it, you can solve it yourself." ”

Shen Lian was helpless, and frequently made eye contact with the prince, wanting him to say something, but he didn't want to say a word to this Li Shen again.

Who knew that without the persuasion of others, Li Shen would stop crying, pretending to take his sleeve and dip it under his eyes, and said: "The crime of the lower official deserves death, and it is rude in front of His Royal Highness and the crown princess."

Shen Lian rolled his eyes in his heart, and Xuanyuan Hao only pretended not to see that he was acting, and continued to comfort him with kind words: "Lonely forgive you husband and wife are deeply affectionate, it's okay, you can be even."

Li Shen asked, got up tremblingly, I don't know, I really thought he thought that his body was too weak due to excessive grief.

After Li Shen sat down, he said in a sad tone: "Humble Jing is as kind to me as a mountain, the lower official is from a poor background, if it weren't for the great help of my father-in-law, how could the lower official be today!" Shen Lian heard him suddenly talk about the good fortune of his deceased wife, and immediately became a little interested, and looked at Xuanyuan Hao with his eyes, Xuanyuan Hao knew that she was interested in hearing the story of Li Shen and Wang Shuhui, so he smiled slightly and said, "If you are willing, I want to hear about your good wife."

I don't know why, when Fang Xuanyuan Hao said the word "good wife", Li Shen's face suddenly became embarrassed, but it was only covered for a moment, but it still did not escape Shen Lian's eyes.

Li Shen wiped the non-existent tears on his face with his sleeve again, and said: "When I was young, I had no money to study, and I relied on the support of my father-in-law. Shen Lian was speechless, he didn't expect that the deep meaning in Li Shen's mouth was as heavy as a mountain, and he still couldn't get around the word money, could it be that the two of them have been together for more than ten years, and after death, there is only money to talk about? In half a day, Shen Lian's disgust for this Li Shen was already overflowing, and this Li Shen was simply polluting the existence of the audio-visual.

She decided to get up and go to the backyard for a walk, Li Shen hurriedly ordered someone to lead Shen Lian to the backyard and arranged an elegant and clean room to rest.

Shen Lian was brought to the backyard by someone, and then waved his hand to let Li Shen's people retreat, leaving only his maid to follow.

When he sat in the room and was bored, he came out to take a look.

Because of her identity as the crown princess, there are no idle people in the backyard, the courtyard is quiet and abnormal at the moment, Shen Lian walked around, and didn't see anyone, the scenery is elegant, I looked at it again, and was about to go back to the room, when I suddenly heard someone talking in a low voice.

"Don't listen to indecent people, don't listen to indecent people", Shen Lian was trying to avoid it, and quickly went back to the room, so as not to get into trouble, words like "daughter, son" ran into his ears, and Shen Lian couldn't help but slow down and listen carefully.

"Our wife is really miserable, she has dedicated so much to the adult, and she has given birth to several daughters, but she is still not worth a son."

Shen Lian's heart was shocked, he stopped, hid his body under the overlapping vine leaves, and continued to listen.

"The most excessive thing is to take the lady's money to raise a son for that woman! Madame endured and endured, that woman actually had to inch in, otherwise how could the adult have such a big temper with Madame, and take that illegitimate child home if she lives or dies?! Another person echoed: "How else can I say that our lady's life is hard, my lord really has no conscience, if it wasn't for his father-in-law who paid for him to study, I heard that even the money for the adult to go to Beijing to take the exam was still from his father-in-law."

Now that the adults are also considered to be famous, what has the lady left behind? Ay! "Tut-tut, that father-in-law is old and frail, and his wife's parents are thousands of miles away from the capital, so the father and daughter haven't even seen each other for the last time, you say it's pitiful!" The other said, "But the young man from Madame's maiden house is very handsome, have you seen it?" The person who spoke suddenly turned the topic to a young boy sent by Wang Shuhui's mother's family, and the regret and pity in the tones of several people also turned into joy and curiosity.

Shen Lian felt very uncomfortable in her heart, sure enough, the life and death of others had nothing to do with her after all, this is also human nature, but she always felt a little awkward in her heart.

She was depressed, and without saying a word, she returned to her room and sat down in her chair in a daze.

Xuanyuan Hao didn't know when she came over, seeing that Shen Lian's mood was not good, thinking that she was because she had feelings at the funeral, the sound of grief and crying came one after another, it was simply deafening, Xuanyuan Hao sat down silently beside her, and Shen Lian didn't notice it.

The two of them sat and didn't speak, the three maids, you look at me, I see that you can't figure out the situation, standing on the side are like thorns in the back, Ya'er can't, so she has nothing to say: "Are the prince and the princess hungry, do you want the slave to come over with some food?" When Shen Lian heard the prince, he turned his head to see that Xuanyuan Hao was sitting upright beside him, looking at him without blinking.

Shen Lian suddenly felt a gentle pain, the two of them were relatively speechless, Xuanyuan Hao put his hand on Shen Lian's hand, found that her hand was unusually cold, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable, do you want to go back to the palace?" Shen Lian shook his head and only said, "Did Li Shen say how Wang Shuhui died?" Xuanyuan Hao saw that she was asking strangely, and felt that this question was a little ominous, but since Shen Lian asked, he still answered her: "I heard that he died of a violent illness, and he died suddenly, why are you asking this?" Shen Lian lowered her head, thought for a while, and felt that it was better not to tell Xuanyuan Hao what she had just heard for the time being, and it would not be too late to wait until she investigated clearly.

So she only said: "Just ask casually, Your Highness doesn't have to worry about me."

As she was talking, Ya'er had already brought a few snacks from outside and placed them on the small table between Shen Lian and Xuanyuan Hao, Shen Lian was not in the mood to eat, so she only took a piece of osmanthus cake and ate it slowly.

Xuanyuan Hao doesn't like sweets, he searched with his eyes for a while, but there was nothing he could eat, so he didn't eat either, just looked at Shen Lian on the other side with his head down, as if he was thinking about something, and the pastry in his hand only took half a tenth of it.

Her serious appearance made people sink inexplicably, and Xuanyuan Hao leaned back in the chair and changed into a comfortable position.

He felt that he didn't talk to Shen Lian like this, and he was satisfied with it quietly and brought it together.

Before a piece of cake was eaten, Shen Lian put it down very unappetizingly, this sweet and greasy thing was really in conflict with the bitterness in his heart.

Xuanyuan Hao saw that she frowned and put down the osmanthus cake with a disgusted expression, and thought that Shen Lian just thought that the osmanthus cake was not delicious, so he said with a smile: "The things here are naturally incomparable with those in the palace, you can take some first, and we can go back soon."

Shen Lian patted the residue that accidentally fell on her body, Xia Liang had already brought water for her to clean her hands, Shen Lian washed her hands and dried her hands with a towel, and did not respond to Xuanyuan Hao's words.
