Shi Xiangyuan lay on Shi Xiangyuan's bed on her back, and complained to her irritably: "Now that Shen Jiahe is back, my aunt has no heart disease, and my mother has stopped letting me go to Shen's house, really, I originally made an appointment with Shen Jiajue that he would teach me to play chess." ”

Lu Jiuzhi sat on the side and divided the threads, which would put the silk threads in her hand one by one according to the color, and then replied to her with a smile: "Now that the overall situation has been decided, I am afraid that our marriage will be put on the agenda soon, and the mothers should not let us go in order to avoid suspicion." ”

She looked at the unhappy Shi Xiangyuan and smiled again: "As far as your chess skills are concerned, I haven't taught you well even after teaching them, is it possible that Shen Jiajue is better than me." ”

Shi Xiangyuan leaned closer to look at her: "Maybe, when there is a chance for the two of you to compete, hey, forget it, who knows when there will be a chance." ”

In the prime minister's house, Shen's mother talked to the big girl while sprinkling fish food: "On weekdays, there are always those two girls who come to pass the time with me, but if people don't come these days, I feel that life is boring." ”

"When the two young masters marry back, won't they be able to accompany Madame every day." The big girl joked with a smile.

Shen's mother also laughed, sprinkled all the last bit of fish food in her hand, and walked into the room with the maid's hand: "That's what I said, but it will take time to marry someone back, and I don't know what General Shi thinks, he actually stayed at the border, and I don't know if this matter has any impact on Xiang Yuan and Jia Jue's affairs." ”

"Madame, it's better to find an excuse to invite the two girls to ask and find out Miss Shi's tone." The big girl proposed.

Shen's mother thought about it and felt that there was some reason, so she ordered her subordinates to call the two sons over and ordered: "I always feel that my appetite is not very good in the past two days, maybe I am used to laughing with those two girls on weekdays, but now it is suddenly cold, but I am not used to it, why don't you two go to the two of them again, and invite the two girls to come over and talk to your mother." ”

Shen Jiajue and Shen Jiachen went to the two houses with Shen's mother's order, Shen Jiajue didn't have so much thought, and after seeing Shi's mother, she directly followed Shen's mother's original words, Shi's mother heard it and said busily: "Xiang Yuan went to the Lu family early this morning, the eldest son went directly to the Lu family to pick up people, just remember to send her back safely at night." ”

Shen Jiajue didn't say a word and turned around and went to Lu's house directly, Shen Jiachen would still be talking to Lu's mother in the house: "My mother has been accompanied by Lao Jiuzhi for this time, and I really miss Jiuzhi when I don't see her for a few days, so I specially asked the younger generation to pick up Jiuzhi to come over the house, and my mother said that she wanted to thank Jiuzhi." ”

Can the future mother-in-law like, Lu's mother was very happy, originally with the Xiangfu she was still a little apprehensive, now it seems that it is really a good marriage: "Accompanying the elders is what Jiuzhi should do, but the elders should not postpone if they invite the juniors, you sit here, I will call Jiuzhi out." ”

Lu Jiuzhi and Shi Xiangyuan had just gone out, Shen Jiajue also rushed over from Shi's house, Shi Xiangyuan was helped by Shen Jiajue to get into his carriage, and the four of them returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

When Shen's mother saw the two girls, the smile on her face didn't stop, and after chatting casually, Shen's mother looked at Shi Xiangyuan and asked, "Can your father send a letter to the family recently?" Speaking of which, we were a little surprised to learn that General Shi stayed at the border, after all, it was said that when the army returned to the dynasty victoriously, the marriage between the two families should be mentioned. ”

Shi Xiangyuan didn't expect Shen's mother to ask about this matter so directly, but she still replied with a red face: "My father's decision has been made clear to my mother and brother, and as a child, I naturally have to support the decision of my elders. ”

Shen's mother breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this daughter-in-law will be able to marry in soon, and she should ask what she should ask, seeing that the eyes of the two sons are on the human girl, Shen's mother smiled and drove away: "Okay, I will be a little tired of talking, you children go out." ”

Just after the four of them went out, Shen Xiang hurriedly left from outside, and Shen's mother saw him with a solemn face and hurriedly waved off his subordinates and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Xiang sighed, and told Shen's mother about the matter in the imperial study: "Now our Shen family is being targeted by the emperor. ”

Mother Shen was shocked, but she was a little puzzled: "But isn't today's event all over?" ”

Shen Xiang shook his head: "This is just the beginning, won't the emperor look for another opportunity?" At the beginning, I was hesitant about the marriage of Jiahe and Pei Yuan because of this, the emperor was not used to seeing King Xian, and wanted to get rid of it quickly, and for his family-in-law, he naturally kept an eye on it all the time, just to see if he could find any flaws, so as to implicate King Xian. ”

"Now that the two children are married, I see that King Xian also loves Jiahe very much, what do you mean by saying this now." Mother Shen said unhappily.

Shen Xiang hurriedly explained: "I know, didn't I object at the beginning? But that's not what I'm going to discuss with you today, what I want to discuss with you is the marriage of the two sons, and it's best to push it back. ”

"Still pushing back?" Mother Shen raised her voice, but she just felt that she was about to marry a daughter-in-law, how could she say that she was about to push back?

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is not safe now, if we are a few of us together, the emperor's suspicion will become more and more serious, and besides, you don't want to cause trouble to the other two." Shen Xiang was also very helpless, seeing that other people's families had grandchildren, but his two sons hadn't even married each other.

Shen's mother sat there for a long time and didn't answer, Shen Xiang said that she didn't understand, but her heart was not very comfortable, because of the emperor's suspicion, she even had to look forward to marrying a daughter-in-law, it was better to be a flat-headed ordinary man who farmed.

"I'm going to ask the two families to sit together and talk about this, but General Shi is no longer in the house, and I'm afraid the Shi family will want you to go." Shen Xiang discussed with Shen's mother.

Mother Shen nodded, thinking of the four children who had just gone out happily, she only felt very sad: "Jiuzhi and Xiang Yuan are in our mansion, do you want to mention this matter to them." ”

Shen Xiang pondered for a moment and said: "It's best to say it, lest the children have a problem in their hearts, I Guan Jiuzhi and Xiang Yuan are also children who understand the general situation, and they should be able to understand." ”

After dinner, just before sending them back, Shen Muyue and the two sat together alone, and mentioned Shen Xiang's words to them: "Originally, my aunt was looking forward to you marrying in as soon as possible, but there are many good things, and the Xiangfu may not be peaceful recently, and your uncle means that the marriage date will be postponed." ”

Lu Jiuzhi stepped forward and held Shen's mother's hand and said with a smile: "We can all understand, don't worry, aunt, I will go back and talk to my mother about this, and I will never let the two families have any misunderstanding." ”

"Me too, me too." Shi Xiangyuan echoed.

Mother Shen pressed the corner of her eyes and took the hands of the two: "You are really sensible children, don't worry, when things settle down, your aunt will definitely handle your marriage well." ”

When the two girls were sent away, Shen's mother sat at the head of the bed and talked to Shen Xiang: "The two girls are sensible, and they said that they want to go back to persuade their mothers, and they will never let the two families have a disagreement." ”

Shen Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but still discussed: "Where are the Shi family and the Lu family, we still have to find an opportunity to visit the door in person and let the children go back to persuade them, in the end, it is a bit hasty." You have to explain the situation to someone in person. ”

Before going to bed, Shen Xiang turned over again and said to Shen's mother: "Tomorrow, I will go to Xianwang's Mansion to remind Xia Jiahe that they are." ”

The next morning, after the court finished talking about the court, Pei Yuan took out the gold medal left to him by the emperor, and the hundred officials knelt down one after another when they saw it, and the emperor at the top looked extremely ugly when he saw this: "What is King Xian going to do?" ”

"Back then, my father left this gold medal to the king, so that the king could ask the emperor for a favor when he was in need, I don't know if the emperor still remembers this matter." Pei Yuan raised the gold medal and asked loudly.

When the emperor gave the gold medal, not only Pei Yuan and the emperor were present at the time, but also several ministers in the court, even if the emperor wanted to play tricks, there was no way: "I naturally remember, but I don't know what kind of favor King Xian wants to ask for today?" ”

"The grace that the younger brother wants to ask for is very simple, the younger brother only hopes that the younger brother's princess, Shen Jiahe, will not be summoned by anyone alone in the future." As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar among the officials, such an important grace, you can ask for power on the back cover, and even the grace of saving your life in the future, Pei Yuan actually used it on a woman.

It is really smack-inspiring to do this for a remarried girl, the emperor looked at Pei Yuan coldly, once this grace is agreed, it means that they can no longer move Shen Jiahe, that is Pei Yuan's only weakness, he has a good calculation.

But he couldn't help but agree, and all the officials were watching: "Okay, I promise you, from now on, no one will summon Princess Shen Jiahe for any reason." ”

"I will issue a holy decree, and the king will go back and wait for the decree." The emperor waved his hand, "Retreat!" ”

Shen Xiang remembered what he talked about with his wife yesterday, the Shen family may have been implicated by King Xian, but he was also trying his best to protect his daughter, and this friendship was worth him to help this son-in-law deal with the emperor together.

Shen Xiang waited at the gate of the palace, and when he saw Pei Yuan's carriage coming, he stepped forward and said, "It's okay today, I just happened to go with you to see Jiahe." ”

Pei Yuan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The little son-in-law is ashamed, he didn't even take Jiahehui to his mother's house when he came back from the border, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law who are still tired are worried." ”

"Alright, don't say these kind words, let's go." Shen Xiang flashed into the carriage and urged the coachman to leave quickly.

When he arrived at the palace, Shen Xiang signaled to send his subordinates before telling the two about the emperor's questioning: "I heard that you went to the queen, and there was no mistake in this matter." ”

Shen Jiahe shook his head: "I told the queen according to what my father said before, even if she wants to go to her grandmother, we will take care of everything, and there will be no problems." ”

For Pei Yuan to ask for this grace, the emperor was a little strange in his heart, he would never waste this grace for no reason.

The emperor was thinking about something, and instructed the chief manager to set up the Qiwu Palace, the queen has not seen the emperor come here for a long time, which will naturally be a hundred times more courteous, but he didn't want the emperor to ask about Shen Jiahe: "The concubine invited Princess Xian to come here, but the concubine only heard that Princess Xian went to the border, so she asked her to ask, and King Xian is too fussful." ”

The emperor snorted coldly: "He really has a deep affection for Shen Jiahe, but it's okay to do this, and it also saves him from asking me for something else with grace in the future." ”

But it was even more difficult to deal with Shen Jiahe, and a trace of resentment flashed on the queen's face: "Yang Jianjun said that Shen Jiahe went to the border, but he couldn't find any evidence, and the couple were really good." ”

The emperor leaned back in the chair tiredly: "Don't be in front of Yang Shuo's useless lady dog thing!" But did this Shen Jiahe tell you that she went to her grandmother's house these days. ”

"How does the emperor know?" The queen stepped forward and gently pressed her head for the emperor.

The emperor smiled: "It seems that she and Shen Xiang have spoken to each other, forget it, it seems that this matter can only be resolved now, and nothing can be done without evidence." Let them get away for a while. ”

The queen's heart is not so relaxed: "Now that the two of them are afraid that they are more precautionary against us, and the concubines have no chance to summon Shen Jiahe, it seems that if you want to deal with King Xian again, you have to be more careful." ”
