Chapter 105: Confession
Chapter 105 Confession
At this time, there was no one in Yunyi Building, and the three or two tables of guests were sparsely la, and they didn't even go to the private seat on the second floor, but sat in the lobby on the first floor.
Zhao Ying didn't ask Song Leyi to come out, she led the girl out, but she walked very slowly.
She was going downstairs, and Shen Mingren happened to go upstairs.
The two men met each other at the turn of the stairs on the second floor.
Shen Mingren didn't look up, but he knew that there was someone, so he turned sideways, and his footsteps paused slightly, intending to stagger.
The reason why he stopped and looked up was because Zhao Ying deliberately stopped him twice.
He faintly heard the girl's delicate laughter, which was very quiet, but because of the proximity of the people, he could hear it.
Somewhat familiar......
As soon as he looked up, he saw Zhao Ying standing on the stairs two steps higher than him with a smile, his face was slightly condensed, and he returned to normal for a moment: "It seems that the minister and His Highness also have some fate." β
This is actually a little frivolous, and ordinary girls must feel that they are frivolous when they hear a seven-foot gentleman say such a thing.
But Shen Mingren dared to say it, and he dared to say it to her.
Zhao Ying sneered in her heart.
As far as she knew, Shen Mingren relied on his reputation to do such a thing with ease.
Those girls pursued him, and he said a few frivolous and ambiguous words, and people not only beat him, but also became excited about it.
He was a little stronger, and what did he dare not say to her, he had said it in his previous life.
Zhao Ying stood on the stairs and didn't move: "Lord Xiao Shen seems to like the dishes of Yunyi Building very much?" β
"The dishes in Yunyi Building are exquisite, the environment is good, and most of the ministers feast here on weekdays." As he spoke, he looked behind Zhao Ying again, there was no one, and there was a little doubt in his eyes, "Your Highness is here to eat alone?" β
Zhao Ying smiled and shook her head: "Lord Xiao Shen should be very busy recently?" β
Shen Mingren was stunned: "What does Your Highness mean by this?" β
Zhao Ying sneered: "I want to go to the court again, and I have to run to Jiang's house again, dealing with Zhao Wan, and turning my head to have a small gathering of friends."
But I may be wrong, Lord Xiao Shen is enjoying it, because he probably doesn't feel busy, but feels that this kind of life is delicious and nourishing? β
Shen Mingren's face changed immediately.
But not angry.
Zhao Ying stared at him, staring intently, and could see all the emotions on his face, even if it was a flash.
He hesitated for a moment.
It's more like ...... After being caught doing something wrong, you have to try to stay calm and then think about countermeasures.
Shen Mingren has done a lot of such things, and Zhao Ying had seen it many times in her previous life, so she could quickly tell whether Shen Mingren was real or pretended to show her.
Sure enough, having lived together for a few years and using sincerity, there are also some benefits.
She guessed right.
The words that my cousin said, the gossip that the nobles in Beijing have been spreading by word of mouth recently, Shen Mingren knows, which means that the Shen family knows, and after calculating it, it is indeed like after discussing with the Jiang family, they acquiesced to the spread of those words out of the Jiang Mansion.
"Lord Xiao Shen wants to ask me how I know?"
A little embarrassment flashed on Shen Mingren's face: "His Highness suddenly asked, and the minister didn't know what to say for a while. β
But Shen Mingren, who is quick and quick, was taught by Shen Dianchen for a while after being taken back to the capital from his hometown, and went to the Taiji Hall at a young age. He doesn't know what to say?
Zhao Ying raised her eyebrows: "You can say whatever you want, isn't Lord Xiao Shen always able to speak well?" I remember that Lord Xiao Shen was known as the first noble son in the capital, with quick thinking and a good hand at talking. β
Her little hands were always behind her back, and her eyes finally took her eyes off Shen Mingren: "The imperial grandmother is very fond of Lord Xiao Shen, originally not long after I moved out of the palace, Uncle Huang should arrange for Lord Xiao Shen to meet me."
You're different from Cousin Yunjia - I don't know much about Lord Shen. β
Shen Mingren's eyebrows moved: "Your Highness? β
"It's just a pity." Zhao Ying smacked her tongue, "During the banquet in Jiying Palace, Uncle Huang once asked Shen Ge Lao, the glory of the Shen family, is he so eager to earn another share, he didn't admit it, now it seems that Uncle Huang still has a vicious eye, and he can see through the minds of others at a glance."
As far as Shen Ge Lao is concerned, it's not me, it's also very good to be Zhao Wan, not to mention that Zhao Wan is now raised by Jiang Niangniang's side?
Shen Ge Lao wants the so-called stable situation of the court, I am an official residence, I have been favored since I was a child, as long as Che'er is born by her mother, she is already much higher than the eldest brother and the second emperor.
Kong Niangniang has no daughters under her knees, and the Shen family wants to be the master, either Zhao Wan or Shushu.
Shushu is young, and Sun Niangniang's background is not high, so Shen Ge probably can't look down on her, right? β
She said a lot of words freely, as if she was not afraid of being heard, standing on the stairs, her voice was gentle, and she never deliberately lowered it.
Shen Mingren was terrified when he heard it.
She was half right.
Father's thoughts, to the Shen family, to the situation in the DPRK and China, and even to her.
He has grown up to this day, and he rarely goes against his father's will in major matters.
In fact, as far as he is concerned, the one he likes more is indeed not Zhao Ying.
It's just that the Empress Dowager Chrysostom that day, he felt that this horse belonged to him, and he didn't have to take so many detours, not to mention that when it came to Emperor Zhaoning's favor, ten Zhao Wan was not as good as one Zhao Ying.
Song Zhaoyang can rise to the top, and Song Huaiyong can get the emperor's weight, not all because Emperor Zhaoning treats the Song family preferentially.
He wanted to get rid of his father's shadow so much, break out of the world by himself, and marry Zhao Ying, the temptation was too great.
Zhao Wan is docile, and now she is Mrs. Jiang's adopted daughter, married to her family and the family is harmonious, and the Jiang family is indispensable to promote him in the court, and although the Liu family has fallen, the Liu family has raised Zhao Che for six years before his death, and there is always a feeling.
In the future, whether it is Zhao Cheng or Zhao Che, it will not be a loss-making deal for him.
He just didn't think that Zhao Ying's mind was so delicate.
She was only fourteen years old.
The father said that she often doesn't go to court recently, and she is really still a child.
Now it seems that my father was wrong.
Shen Mingren's sideburns almost sweated: "Your Highness said this, but the minister didn't dare to respond, His Highness is not afraid of Youyou's mouth, the minister is afraid, and the Shen family is also afraid."
Walking around with the Jiang family, most of them are in the middle of the court, or the second son of Jiang holds a banquet and invites three or five friends to come to the door.
My personal acquaintance with him was extensive, but I had two or three friends in common who could speak well and sit down at a table and drink two glasses of wine.
As for the foolish words that His Highness heard, about the ministers and the second princess......
The minister didn't dare to deceive the princess, and the last time the minister went to the banquet, the second princess was also there, and the fourth and sixth girls Jiang were all at the table, and it was not the second princess who had a small banquet with us.
Why did those unpleasant words come out of the outside world, the ministers really don't know.
Even when my father heard about it, he was also angry. β
was angry, but he didn't go to the Jiang family's theory.
This kind of small banquet in the courtyard, except for the nonsense of the people waiting below, who else can there be?
Could it be that they themselves spread it out?
When he tried to coax a three-year-old child, the three-year-old child would not believe it.
Zhao Ying rolled her eyes in her heart: "So, I wronged Lord Xiao Shen?" β
"When people outside hear such words at first glance, it is normal for them to think like this, and His Royal Highness will think like this, it is also because of the minister's misconduct, and it is not a wronged minister."
Shen Mingren sighed in a low voice: "So since then, the minister has never been to the Jiang family easily, Your Highness believes in the minister?" β
He suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze burning, sincere and fiery.
Zhao Ying remembered in a trance.
In her previous life, she had actually had one or two times when she was suspicious of Shen Mingren.
No matter how naΓ―ve she was in the past, she didn't know anything about the world, and after marrying Shen Mingren, she worked hard to learn these things, hoping to help Zhao Che.
The days have been long, and the sensitivity is much more keen, and the person next to the pillow may have different intentions, and she can more or less detect the different dreams of sharing a bed with her.
Shen Mingren is a person who is very good at acting.
For a long time later, he recognized Zhao Che as the king, and the insidious villain had a vicious mind, sleeping with her every day, thinking about how to kill her for his master.
Even so, you can make an affectionate appearance.
His eyes are the most deceiving.
Zhao Ying opened her eyes: "What does Lord Xiao Shen want me to believe in you?" β
The girl's cheeks flashed red, and she looked shy, especially when she hurriedly opened her eyes and didn't dare to meet him again, which made Shen Mingren's heart flutter.
He thought that Zhao Ying still ate this set, and after all, she was also a little girl who had not opened her love, and she was no different from others after all.
"Although the minister was born in the Shen family and has a father who is the first assistant, His Royal Highness knows that the minister was not very happy when he was young. Since entering Beijing, what the ministers have heard and seen, His Royal Highness is so bright and noble. β
Shen Mingren went up to the next level, but he didn't dare to make four words, but he only went up to the first level: "That day, the Queen Mother sent someone to the Shen family to spread the word, and when my father said that he knew the minister, the minister was so happy in his heart, it was really difficult to tell His Highness in words."
His Royal Highness was injured, and the minister was worried, but the minister did not have the position to meet His Highness.
After His Royal Highness moved out of the palace, His Royal Highness King Yan also sent someone to say twice, and the ministers were always full of expectations, but they ...... every time"
There was no loss in his tone, and as soon as he pursed his lips, the conversation changed: "When the Jiying Palace banquet is held, the minister can finally say a few words to His Highness, but the minister can also hear that His Highness is a little repulsed in his heart."
Although His Royal Highness said that it was for his father's sake, the minister knew that it was not.
At that time, the minister thought, maybe it was the minister's wishful thinking.
His Royal Highness is like the sun, the sun is like fire, and it will always be so bright and hot, and a person like the minister should probably not and does not deserve to be approached.
Until-until the Taiji Palace, the ministers really can't see those people slandering His Highness, obviously His Highness has been wronged, but he has to be impeached.
His Royal Highness's attitude towards the ministers has changed and eased, and the ministers are very happy and have trouble sleeping all night.
The minister said this to His Highness today, but it is actually abrupt, and it is not the duty of a monarch and a minister, and it is a mistake to respect and inferiority.
But the minister didn't want His Royal Highness to misunderstand the minister and the second princess, and he really couldn't hide these in his heart. β
Shen Mingren's breathing became rapid, and when it seemed that his love was strong, he couldn't help but get excited.
He still looked at Zhao Ying with burning eyes, and even ignored the fact that Hua Chun and Shu Xia were still by Zhao Ying's side, and even more regardless of the fact that although there were few guests in Yunyi Building, there were still people who came and went, and as soon as he spoke, his tone even increased: "His Royal Highness has been happy for a long time, and he has a deep affection for His Royal Highness, and there is no one else in his eyes." β
He was really not afraid that Zhao Wan would hear this.
Zhao Ying's face was so thick that she couldn't laugh.
She was disgusted, but she also felt that she should have miscalculated something, otherwise Shen Mingren, who would not have been provoked, would have said such arrogant words on such an occasion.
But in the eyes of others, probably he was really affectionate, and he couldn't help himself, so he opened his mouth so recklessly.
It's also his brilliance.
Zhao Ying was silent for a long time: "Lord Xiao Shen, please me?" β
After a long silence, there was only one rhetorical question.
Shen Mingren said yes unashamedly, so decisively and firmly.
Zhao Ying smiled again: "If the second imperial sister hears what Lord Xiao Shen says, she is afraid of crying to death." From the chance encounter at the banquet in Jiying Palace, I can see that the second emperor sister is very fond of Lord Xiao Shen.
Did you tell me this today, did you tell Shen Ge Lao? β
Shen Mingren's face changed suddenly: "Your Highness said this, just don't believe what the minister said, Your Highness thinks that the minister is just pretending to coax His Highness?" β
Zhao Ying shook her head: "I didn't say such a thing, people's sincerity should be cherished the most, if Lord Xiao Shen really has a deep affection for me, whether my colt will be you in the future, I should thank you for this sincerity."
But you see, Zhao Wan is interested in you, and the Jiang family seems to have this intention.
I said, Uncle Huang has a vicious eye, and he is the best at looking at people, what is Shen Ge Lao's mind, does Lord Xiao Shen really not know at all?
You say that there is no one else in your heart - when this word spreads, it means that I will not marry.
My father favors me, but Zhao Wan is also his biological child, and he will never wronged Zhao Wan in life's events.
Lord Xiao Shen, have you really thought about this? β
Shen Mingren's mouth was opened, and if he recycled it, it was a slap in the face, and it cut off any possibility between him and Zhao Ying.
Of course, he also has his own concerns, and between the two sisters, Zhao Wan and Zhao Ying, he obviously has to make a choice.
If he was to choose-
After a short silence, Shen Mingren met Zhao Ying's words: "The minister thinks very clearly, in the minister's heart, there is only one person from His Royal Highness, whether His Highness likes the minister or rejects and dislikes the minister, the minister is today's words, and he will never change his words." β
He's not going to look away.
Zhao Ying is indeed shy.
She tried her best to cover it up, but it was a knee-jerk reaction, and she couldn't fool anyone.
It is true that she is shrewd and capable, but she doesn't know anything about the love between men and women, and he is confident and sure.
He won the favor of the Queen Mother, as long as Zhao Ying likes him for two points, he will win!
Zhao Ying walked backwards, went up two steps, stood still on the platform at the corner, and looked down at Shen Mingren: "Little Lord Shen's intentions, I understand, it's just that the Jiang family is intentional, Zhao Wan is affectionate, no one knows what ...... future"
"The minister will make it clear to his father that His Highness doesn't have to test the minister with this." He made the righteous Shen Mingren again, raised his hand, and fell on his heart, "It's all His Highness here, and I can't let go of the second person." β
