When Pei Shu went back to wash, he still thought about the scene when he saw Pei Yuan at the gate of the mansion, and very complicated emotions suddenly surged up in an instant.

Resentment? Regret? Unwilling? But there is also a little resignation, whether he admits it or not, Pei Yuan is undoubtedly better than himself, and it is also the best choice for Shen Jiahe.

On the other hand, he was just the identity of this prince, thinking of this, he was suddenly stunned, and the little maid who was waiting for him to dress didn't dare to disturb him, until he put down his arm and sorted out the jade belt in front of him, and the little maid breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage at the door has been prepared, Lu Gong stood at the door justly and respectfully, Pei Shu is now in a new dress and has to go back to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the queen's mother, which is a very important thing on the first day of the Lunar New Year, compared to King Xian and King Ling, who can already lie at home at this time to make up for sleep, he is undoubtedly the hardest.

The queen saw that Pei Shu was not in a hurry to leave after the New Year's worship, so she instructed Chief Manager Xu to send out all the palace people in the house, and only after the empty inner room was only the mother and son left, she asked, "Do you have something to tell the queen mother?" ”

Pei Shu nodded, the only way he could think of to solve the dilemma in front of him was to ask the queen for help, she was his mother, and he must not be willing to see him fall into this lovesickness all day long.

So he pondered for a while, and asked in a deep voice: "Ask the queen mother to help her son, and the son can't do without Shen Jiahe." ”

The queen was obviously stunned, but after seeing the serious look on her son's face, she suddenly laughed: "The last time you knelt here like this, you still begged the queen mother not to marry you and Shen Jiahe, and the last time you knelt here and begged the queen mother, you wanted to marry Qin Xiaoshuang and enter King Kang's mansion." ”

Pei Shu's face turned red, but he couldn't refute these words, so he could only lie on the ground and say in an aggravated tone: "Erchen made up his mind this time and was serious. ”

The queen shook her head, she stepped down from the main seat, walked past Pei Shu's side to the door of the main hall, and only replied to him after a long time: "When did you not say that?" The queen mother didn't promise you before, all for your good, but I can't promise you this time, but it's because the queen mother is incapable. ”

"What?" Pei Shu suspected that he had heard it wrong, and looked back at the queen sharply, "But if the queen mother is not capable in the whole world, then there will be no one who can help the son." ”

The queen stood with her back to the door, the sun shone in from behind her, but people couldn't see her expression clearly, Pei Shu seemed to pull the corners of her mouth when she saw her, but the smile was too ugly.

"The queen mother didn't mean to push back," the queen closed her eyes, "Even the queen mother herself is now difficult to protect herself, how can she have the ability to promote you and Shen Jiahe." ”

Seeing that he still didn't seem to believe it, the queen sighed: "Your uncle is now far away from the court, and all the family property has been confiscated, and he has lost the support of the previous dynasty, and the status of the queen mother in this harem has been shaken, which is not as good as before." ”

"At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, the courtiers saw that the father's and emperor's feelings for the queen mother were still undiminished, how could the queen mother say such a thing?" Pei Shu couldn't believe it, and he didn't want to believe it.

The queen looked at her son, and finally knew why he still couldn't sit in the position of the crown prince now, at this moment she had to admit that sometimes he was really too weak and naïve, but as a mother, she couldn't teach him impatiently: "The housewife of an ordinary family can't rely on her husband's love to live, if you still think that the husband and wife of the heavenly family can rely on each other, it's really too stupid." ”

Pei Shu's face turned pale, and the whole person was confused, and the moment he left the palace and got into the carriage, he was just suddenly thinking in his mind: If Shen Jiahe was just a commoner's daughter, would he and King Xian still be so concerned.

He smiled bitterly, then lifted the curtain of the car and ordered outside: "Go to Shen Xiang's house." ”

Shen Jiahe is accompanying Shen's mother to receive the Shi family, although today is not a big day for the two families, Shi Xiangjie brought his sister over to send Shen Jiahui a wedding dress, and he also wanted to entertain him.

Shen's mother arranged for the housekeeper to take Qianhe to take the box containing the wedding clothes away, and then ordered her two sons to receive Shi Xiangjie outside, while she and her daughter accompanied Shi Xiangyuan to Shen Jiahui's courtyard.

Shen Jiahui asked the people to help her try the size of the wedding dress in the room, and Shen's mother took Shen Jiahe to accompany Shi Xiangyuan to sit outside to drink tea, Shen Jiahe listened to the movement in the room and smiled: "I thought it would take a while to see this wedding dress." ”

Shi Xiangyuan intended to say good things for his family, so he happily replied: "It's not that my brother is worried that Sister Shen is not satisfied, this wedding date is still early, if there is something that does not fit, I can still change it." And my mother said that she would also pay New Year's greetings to my aunt during this New Year's Festival. ”

Shen Jiahe nodded, and when he saw a figure in the middle of the room, he hurriedly joked: "Your brother and my sister have been married, and you still call your sister!" ”

Shi Xiangyuan was stunned for a moment, and then reacted a little shyly: "I want to call my sister-in-law." ”

"Hey," Shen Jiahui came out of the inner room and responded directly, stepped forward and grabbed Shi Xiangyuan's hand, "The clothes fit very well, go back and tell your brother, I'm very satisfied." ”

"It's good if my sister-in-law likes it, you don't have to worry about my brother's trouble, the wedding is a lifelong event, don't be casual." Shi Xiangyuan still said solemnly.

Shen Jiahui stepped forward and touched her cheek, and said with a smile: "I always thought that Jiahe was a sweet-mouthed person, but I didn't expect this to be a sweet-mouthed person, I was worried about getting along with my sister-in-law before, but now I can be completely relieved." ”

Shi Xiangyuan was also very happy to be recognized by her future sister-in-law, this time she came over with the tasks assigned by her mother, and immediately asked Shen Jiahui one by one, nothing more than some of her preferences, whether there is anything to avoid, that is, the dishes at the banquet that day should be asked if there are any taboos.

"Don't think that my mother sent me to ask because she underestimated my sister-in-law, but my mother was worried that the matchmaker wouldn't pay attention to these things, and my sister-in-law was embarrassed to say it when someone else came over, so I asked more." Shi Xiangyuan thought that when her mother was leaving, she confessed that she must say this sentence at the end, and she was relieved when she finished speaking.

"No, it's hard for your mother to think so carefully, and it's also her blessing that Jiahui of our family can marry the Shi family." Shen's mother didn't really let go until this time.

After Shi Xiangjie finished chatting with the two young masters of the Shen family outside about some details of the wedding that day, Shen's mother originally wanted to keep someone to eat in the house, but Shi Xiangjie excused herself in every possible way, and Shen's mother had to order her two sons to send their brothers and sisters away.

"Miss, Miss, Sister Bai Wei has come to see us!" After the two brothers and sisters left, Bai Ying happily ran over from the outer courtyard to tell Shen Jiahe.

"Really?" Shen Jiahe asked, and then walked out with Bai Ying, "Where are you now?" ”

"Uncle Guan took people to the hall." They haven't seen each other for a long time, and Bai Ying is really the happiest one.

In order not to make Cheng Yifeng and Bai Wei feel restrained, Shen Jiahe refused Shen's mother's kindness, and directly took the two to her yard, and also instructed her subordinates to put lunch in her yard today.

Xiao Qi was also very happy to hear that Bai Wei was back, and hurriedly came from the kitchen to ask what dishes should be made at noon: "I don't know if there are any taboos in your family." ”

"No, no, it's a problem for you." Cheng Yiming really felt embarrassed.

"Don't bother, it's the first time you come here, so naturally I want to entertain you well." Shen Jiahe said with a smile, and then remembered Bai Wei's preferences, so he ordered, "Bai Wei likes to eat chopped pepper fish heads, you make one, and as for the rest, you can just watch and do it." ”

"Miss," Bai Wei pulled Shen Jiahe's sleeve and whispered with a slightly red face, "I'm pregnant now, and the doctor told me not to eat this kind of dish that is too spicy." ”

Shen Jiahe glanced at her in surprise, then patted her hand happily, and then looked at Xiao Qi and instructed again: "Then change to a different dish, otherwise I will make a chicken soup for you to make up." ”

Xiao Qi blinked at Bai Wei: "The fish head is made into a tofu pot, and it is good for pregnant women to drink it." ”

Shen Jiahe asked Bai Ying to sit down and talk to her, and asked Cheng Yifeng about the situation: "I heard Bai Wei write to me early in the morning to tell me that you told me about that mineral in the village, and now I don't know what happened?" ”

Cheng Yifeng hurriedly got up and saluted Shen Jiahe respectfully: "I came here this time to say thank you to Miss Shen, after you told me about the mineral, I had the idea of making a fortune with the whole village, and the villagers also supported me, and now everyone is doing well." ”

"That's good, I was worried that such a wealth would not cause you trouble, if it was good intentions to do bad things, it would be my fault." Although Pei Yuan analyzed the situation with her before, she was still a little uneasy if she didn't see the real situation.

Cheng Yifeng heard Shen Jiahe say this, and his heart was even more moved: "My younger brother is an official in the capital, but no one dares to fight bad ideas." ”

After lunch, in order to be able to get home before dark, Cheng Yiming took Bai Wei back early, and Shen Jiahe wanted to take a nap after sending the two away, but before he entered his yard, he heard the housekeeper say that someone came to find him: "It's Lord Kang, the young master said, if the young lady doesn't want to see it, the old slave will drive people out." ”

Pei Shu? Hearing this name made Shen Jiahe a little dazed, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the people around him rarely mentioned his news in order to take care of her emotions.

"Miss?" Seeing Shen Jiahe in a daze, the housekeeper shouted again.

"Take him to the pavilion outside, and say I'll go over after I change my clothes." Shen Jiahe thought about it and decided to meet, maybe he couldn't say anything, besides, he drove people away during this year's festival, and he was still a prince, which was not a good behavior for the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Pei Shu stood in the pavilion and saw Shen Jiahe walking like himself in the company of the maid, which reminded him of the wedding, Shen Jiahe also walked to himself step by step by the support of the bride, and called directly in a trance: "Jiahe." ”

Shen Jiahe's steps stopped, and the emotion in Pei Shu's voice made her instinctively a little repulsive, so she replied with a cold face: "In our current relationship, it's better for you to call me Miss Shen." ”

Pei Shu's figure shook: "You...... How are you doing now? ”

Shen Jiahe suddenly laughed: "As you can see, I am naturally doing well now." ”

"Jiahe, I regret it, I really regret it, originally I thought I didn't love you, I hated you, but this is not the case at all, since you left, I only understood how important you are in my heart, now I have sent Qin Xiaoshuang to the backyard, no one in King Kang's Mansion will ......" Pei Shu didn't want to continue to greet him meaninglessly, so he simply said everything in his heart.

Shen Jiahe looked at him, but it was like looking at a stranger, if he used to have a grudge against him, now he doesn't even have hatred: "What is the point of Prince Kang saying this now?" No matter what you think of me, we have both turned the page, and I can solemnly tell you that I have no feelings for you in my heart. ”

Pei Shu couldn't believe the evil looked up at her: "Impossible, we used to ......"

Shen Jiahe shook his head, and stated the facts to him in a flat tone: "You also said that it was once, people can't always live in the past, right?" We all have a new life, and we need to move forward. ”

Pei Shu suppressed the little pain in his heart, and tried his best to let the voice come out of his throat: "New life? So you now have a new sweetheart? ”

Shen Jiahe looked at his eyes and replied to him seriously word by word: "Yes, I fell in love with your Emperor Pei Yuan." ”

"Bai Ying, send Prince Kang back for me." Shen Jiahe no longer looked at King Kang's shaky body and depressed face, turned around and walked out of the pavilion.
