Chapter 48: Striving for Error (3)
Shen Jinqiao returned to the attic with a bunch of books angrily, Shen Jinxi saw it halfway, she also knew that Shen Jinqiao was back, it is said that Shen Jinqiao came back with a lot of things, which were worth a lot of money, and the maid was red when she said it, who let the Hu family not have so much money, even if she got married, the Hu family couldn't give any decent makeup, and they all looked angry for her.
But this time Shen Jinxi didn't feel much jealous of Shen Jinqiao, so what if the Huo family was good? Doesn't she have to marry to become a prince?
She has inquired, that Chengwang Mansion is an empty shell, and Xiao Guogong's Mansion, it is simply a bottomless pit, no matter how rich Shen Jinqiao's dowry is, I am afraid that she will not be able to last long if she marries, and she will suffer when the time comes.
There are also a few girls from the Xiao family, she has seen two of them these days, but none of them are good friends, so she is waiting for Shen Jinqiao to marry her so that she can be tried.
Although Shen Jinqiao saved her last time, Shen Jinxi didn't have much gratitude, at most she didn't target Shen Jinqiao, but after so many years of resentment against Shen Jinqiao, she still preferred to see Shen Jinqiao's miserable appearance.
Now that the wedding date is approaching, her painful days are coming soon, and she ......
Shen Jinxi touched the bracelet on her hand, she must be better off than Shen Jinqiao.
Although Shen Jinqiao was punished by Shen Ye, she felt that she could be lazy, anyway, her father didn't limit when she could finish copying these books, and she was not in a hurry to copy them slowly.
Put the book aside first, and sort out the gifts for Leng Yi and Bai Youran to give them out, they are all strange and quite down-to-earth things, worthless, but they haven't seen them before, and they must think it's very fresh.
The two sisters, Shen Jinyu and Shen Jinyue, also came over, looking at Shen Jinqiao's room of things, their eyes were rolling slightly, trying not to be too obvious, Shen Jinqiao was not afraid of their worries, took out those little things, and let the two pick out a few things they liked.
The two thanked each other again and again, picked a few things and left happily.
I was tired from sorting things out all afternoon, but Shen Jinqiao slept very well in the evening, and got up early the next morning before starting to copy books.
One morning, my wrist hurt, and I was about to have lunch, when someone came from the palace and passed on Shen Jinqiao to see him.
It's not the queen or the cold concubine, but the Xia Emperor.
Shen Jinqiao wiped the water stains on his hands and looked at his casual dress: "Let my father-in-law wait for a while, I'll change my clothes." ”
When you meet Emperor Xia, you naturally have to dress solemnly and dignifiedly, with three layers of brocade clothes inside and three layers outside, and a cloak outside.
It's October now, it's winter, the weather is getting colder, and you really need to wear so many clothes, the only bad thing is that the clothes are too heavy, and the clothes are a little breathless.
Get dressed, comb your hair in a simple but dignified way, and put on makeup.
After a toss, most of the hours passed, and it was not the first time that the eunuch had passed the decree, knowing that the nobles were going to see Tianyan to dress up, and he did not urge.
Finally went out, Shen Jinqiao felt hungry again, and he didn't eat lunch, but he couldn't take care of eating now, and it was nothing to be hungry, so he couldn't let His Majesty wait too long.
Shen Jinqiao finally arrived in the palace, but Emperor Xia had already gone to take a lunch break, Emperor Xia had to sleep for half an hour at noon every day, and Shen Jinqiao came at a bad time, Emperor Xia had just fallen asleep.
It is impossible to wake up Emperor Xia, it can only be Shen Jinqiao and others.
It's not hard to wait for half an hour, but the hard thing is that she's hungry, which is really difficult.
It seemed that the heavens were testing her willpower, and when she gritted her teeth and endured hunger and exhaustion, Emperor Xia finally woke up, knowing that she was waiting, so he summoned her in.
"The courtiers greet Your Majesty."
Shen Jinqiao's appearance has her arrogant capital, but in this palace, she has always lowered her eyebrows and is pleasing to the eyes, striving to be right.
Emperor Xia looked at her well-behaved and respectful appearance, and rubbed his eyebrows: "Old Man Huo's body is okay?" ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, my grandfather is very healthy, but in the end, he is old, and he doesn't like to move, he writes at home and reads books on weekdays, but his temper is getting more and more weird, and my uncle is often scolded."
After listening to her, Emperor Xia sighed slightly: "Yes, it's ...... old."
Emperor Xia sighed, and suddenly changed the conversation and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with the marriage?" ”
Shen Jinqiao raised his head: "Your Majesty, where did you start with this?" The courtiers obeyed the will and were not dissatisfied. ”
Emperor Xia stared at her: "Then why don't you go to your grandfather's house and bring King Cheng with you?" ”
Shen Jinqiao was puzzled: "The Huo family is my mother's maiden family, not my own maiden family, and I haven't married my courtiers yet, how can I take him to see my relatives?" ”
Emperor Xia didn't take his eyes off Shen Jinqiao, just looked at her like this, she was not the slightest dissatisfied, and her speech was also orderly and not flustered, it seemed that he was thinking too much.
"Although King Cheng is modest, his nature is not bad, you marry him and live your life in peace and stability, it is not a blessing, there are a lot of rumors outside these days, you don't take it to heart, you can marry with peace of mind, I will not treat you badly."
Shen Jinqiao bowed respectfully: "The courtiers will not disappoint Your Majesty's intentions, thank you Your Majesty for your love." ”
Emperor Xia waved his hand: "Stand down." ”
"The courtiers retired."
When Shen Jinqiao left, Emperor Xia shouted: "Li De." ”
Li De, the chief eunuch, stepped forward: "Your Majesty." ”
"Tell the king what she just said."
Li De bowed: "The slave obeys the order." ”
Emperor Xia sighed, he didn't want to care about this, but there are too many gossips in Shengjing these days, and almost all of them are buried to become kings.
Although Emperor Xia sent someone to suppress it, everything in this world is easy to manage, but this mouth can't be controlled, even if you don't say it on the surface, you are afraid that you will inevitably talk about it in private.
It's no wonder that this king is not angry, if he wasn't sucked by the Xiao family, how could he be so miserable?
However, King Cheng is the prince in the end, and he is disliked by Lao Tzu, but he is not allowed to be disliked by others, especially Shen Jinqiao, if she dares to show the slightest reluctance, I am afraid that this will not be the ending today.
Fortunately, he didn't see the wrong person, and the girl was also a general knowledge.
----
King Cheng is indeed depressed these days, he is a man, even if he is modest, he is still a prince, look at what these people outside say?
said that he was not worthy of the stunning beauty Shen Jinqiao, and that Shen Jinqiao marrying him was simply a blood mold.
Especially when Shen Jinqiao returned to Huo's house but did not support him, he was even more ridiculed, saying that Shen Jinqiao didn't want to face this marriage, so he went to Qingshan City to avoid him.
Listening to these gossips, how can King Cheng not be angry?
Although he knew that these rumors had nothing to do with Shen Jinqiao, they were all spread by outsiders, but in the end, he was talked about because he had a marriage contract with her, so he couldn't help but complain about Shen Jinqiao, and he didn't ask her to marry, why did he come to harm him?
