Chapter 674: Taifu refuses
After Mrs. Shen came in, she didn't say much else, and directly said that 7 got down to business, and the two talked for a while in the imperial study. When everything was settled, Mrs. Shen had nothing else to do, and just wanted to retire, Qi Cheng'an called out to him.
"Taifu wait."
Mrs. Shen was stunned when she wanted to quit, stopped, and waited quietly for Qi Cheng'an to speak.
In fact, Qi Chengan subconsciously called out to Mrs. Shen, and had already given up the idea of wanting Shen Liangyun to be the queen. But after realizing Shen Liangyun's goodness, the more he wanted it, the more he felt that only such a different woman was worthy of him and could become his queen.
Tangled, Qi Cheng'an stopped Mrs. Shen, and saw that he was waiting for his question, and after thinking about it, he still asked.
"I know that Mrs. Shen's family has a daughter, and she is already in the middle of it, and she has a good heart, and she knows the book and is courteous, but I don't know if anyone can do it?"
When Mrs. Shen heard Qi Cheng'an ask about her daughter, she couldn't help but be stunned, but she didn't expect it. However, he quickly understood Qi Cheng'an's thoughts, and now that it was the time of the draft, the emperor asked his daughter, and nine times out of ten he wanted her to enter the harem.
But he didn't want his daughter to enter this cold and cannibalistic palace. In the eyes of others, being able to enter the palace as a concubine is the supreme glory, and how many people want to enter this harem even after squeezing their scalps. But in his opinion, this emperor is so affectionate, this splendid appearance is full of decay and calculation, he doesn't want his daughter to spend the rest of her life in conspiracy, and every day is looking forward to waiting for a person's luck, even if that person is today's Ninety-Five Supreme.
If he could, he hoped that his daughter could marry into an ordinary family, be loving husband and wife, and live an ordinary and happy life.
After figuring out this key, Mrs. Shen looked at Qi Cheng'an, and finally said:
"Back to the emperor, the minister's daughter has been married for a long time, although she is not married, but the female red sachet is always embroidered a lot on weekdays, and she is always not seen wearing it. And around her waist, she didn't know where to get a jade pendant, and she protected it like a baby. ”
This means that Shen Liangchun already has a sweetheart. The sachet is a private item and will not be given to anyone else. Moreover, there has long been a custom that people who are happy with each other can give each other sachets and jade pendants as a token of love.
Hearing this, Qi Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, and he even thought that since he didn't get married, it wouldn't be considered a family, and if he didn't worship heaven and earth, and entered the cave house, he might still enter the palace and become the queen......
"I heard that Mrs. Shen's daughter has both virtue and ability, and she is clear and jade, and I don't know who is so blessed, and when Ling Ai gets married, I will naturally prepare a good gift."
Qi Cheng'an's words made Shen Taifu breathe a sigh of relief, as long as the emperor did not issue an order to forcibly seize it. He looked calm, but in fact, he was panicked, and there was already a layer of cold sweat behind him.
When the emperor waved his sleeves to let him retreat, he left the palace without stopping, and on the way he thought about the young man, planning to marry his daughter as soon as possible, so as to save the emperor from worrying. I don't know how the emperor knew about his daughter.
hurriedly returned to the Shen Mansion, and Mrs. Shen called the housekeeper.
"My lord, I don't know what to call me?"
Mrs. Shen took a sip of tea, calmed down, and said to the housekeeper:
"Go and collect the news of the young and handsome people of each family, and inquire which son is not married, what his conduct is, what his family background is, and what his style is."
The housekeeper was puzzled, and he didn't understand what the adults of his family were doing when they suddenly inquired about this, but it was not his turn to ask, he just had to do what the adults said.
"Yes, the little ones will do it."
Mrs. Shen calmed down, nodded, and asked again:
"Where did Miss go today?"
Hearing him ask Miss, the housekeeper suddenly realized that this was to find someone for Miss.
"My lord, Miss is studying the scriptures in the book today, and she has not left the house."
Nodding again, Mrs. Shen waved her hand and let the housekeeper go down.
At dinner, Mrs. Shen sat down at the dining table early, and after a while, she saw her own girl coming over. Dressed in plain white clothes, with a slender figure and picturesque eyebrows, it turned out that before he knew it, his daughter had grown into such an outstanding appearance, slim and elegant, like a delicate flower.
It turned out that the little girl who shouted that her father was inferior to his waist all day long had grown taller, and her eyebrows and eyes had already opened, like her beautiful mother, and some people were worried about it.
Shen Liangchun walked over, and when he saw Mrs. Shen who was stunned, he couldn't help but shout,
"Daddy."
was shouted back to his senses, Mrs. Shen's eyes were kind, his slightly old appearance already showed traces of time, his temples were gray, and he was also old.
"What's wrong with Daddy today? Looking at my daughter like this? ”
Shen Liangchun was very keenly aware of Mrs. Shen's differences, and she always had a bad feeling.
"Daddy only found out today that my Chun'er has grown up unconsciously, and now she is so slim."
I don't know why my father suddenly felt so much, Shen Liangchun could only soothe and say:
"No matter what the daughter is, no matter what, it's her father's daughter."
After speaking, he smiled happily at Mrs. Shen, his eyebrows and eyes were vivid, he was really more beautiful than a flower.
It's no wonder that the emperor is worried about it. Mrs. Shen thought in her heart.
"When has my daughter met the current emperor?"
Mrs. Shen asked suddenly. His daughter knew that she didn't go out of the gate on weekdays, and she went out only a handful of times, and there was no name for her in the capital. Although it is beautiful, it is not so famous in the capital, and if it enters the emperor's ear, it can only be that the two have met.
Shen Liangchun was a little surprised, and didn't understand why Mrs. Shen suddenly asked like this, but he still answered truthfully:
"My daughter and the emperor once had a one-sided relationship, shallow knowledge."
Mrs. Shen nodded, thought about it again and again, and told his daughter that the emperor had spoken to him today.
"Chun'er, today the emperor suddenly asked Daddy, did he marry you, and now it is the time of the draft, the emperor must have intentionally let you enter the palace with such a question."
Hearing this, Shen Liangchun was a little surprised, she really didn't expect the emperor to ask about her. As soon as she said goodbye that day, she thought that the emperor had forgotten her a long time ago, but she didn't expect the emperor to remember herself, thinking of this, Shen Liangchun couldn't help but feel a trace of joy in her heart.
"Chun'er, Daddy doesn't want you to marry into the palace. The palace looks like a golden and splendid palace, but it is a demon cave that eats people and does not spit out bones, and I don't know how many red and dry bones have been buried. Daddy doesn't want you to live in conspiracy for the rest of your life, waiting for someone's luck. Therefore, Daddy hinted to the emperor that you already have a crush, and now the emperor has dispelled the idea. ”
Mrs. Shen's words were sincere, everything was for Shen Liangyun's sake.
Shen Liangchun also knew that she looked at Mrs. Shen, and she had not yet recovered from the news that the emperor wanted her to enter the palace as a concubine, and her head was messed up for a while, but she knew that everything Mrs. Shen did was for her good.
"Dad, you say this, my daughter understands."
