The first thing Shi Qingqian did when she returned home was to be pulled by the eldest lady to look left and right, as if she was worried that she would lose a piece of meat if she went out for a few days.

But fortunately, the emperor said hello in advance, Shi Qingqian thought, otherwise his mother would not have to eat her own raw, or...... Tie yourself up with a rope and don't want to run out alone in this life.

The marriage of Shi Shuning and Shen Xuan has also been decided, and it will be set in May of the following year.

This time is indeed a bit rushed, but to a large extent, it is also because the history book has already reached the end and ...... She was most afraid of long nights and dreams.

This period of time can be regarded as extremely stable, and Shi Shuning is still painstakingly managing his fake pregnancy, so that Shi Qingqian can also watch the jokes.

In February of the following year, Shi Qingqian finally waited for the news she didn't want to hear-

When envoys from other countries came to participate in the annual spring meeting, two or three countries proposed peace to Shen Lun, and this time, Shen Lun did not directly refuse because the fifth princess was still young, it seemed that he was considering choosing a strong and powerful country.

Shi Qingqian learned that one of the people who came to propose marriage was an envoy from Dongwu.

He came to propose to the fifth princess on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Dongwu. When Shi Qingqian first heard about this, he was still a little puzzled, this Dongwu prince is obviously no longer alive, otherwise the king of Dongwu would not be in a hurry to take Tuoba Liangbi back. Later, when she inquired a little, she learned that the so-called 'Prince of Dongwu Kingdom' was Tuoba Liangbi, who was newly named the crown prince-

The remaining two countries, one of them is to ask for the king, but unfortunately the monarch is more than half a hundred years old, and the first queen died, so he came to ask the fifth princess. As for the other, the prince has already married a wife and a two-room side room. In this comparison, Tuoba Liangbi is the most reliable.

Shi Qingqian thought to himself, this Tuoba Liangbi had been able to walk with him before, and he had almost no intersection with the fifth princess. And most importantly...... The person that the fifth princess likes in her heart has always been her brother Shi Ke, and I don't know if they can really raise their eyebrows and respect each other if they become relatives.

On this day, Shi Ke came back from the palace very late, and Shi Qingqian saw that his face was haggard, and he always looked absent-minded when he talked to people, so he had to take advantage of the fact that he had not yet fallen asleep and ran to Shi Ke's residence.

"Brother, brother!" Shi Qingqian was lying on Shi Ke's window, tiptoeing, poking his head out, and using all his strength to look inside.

I saw Shi Kezheng sitting alone at the small table in the room, not knowing what he was thinking, but he was motionless like a sculpture. Hearing Shi Qingqian's voice, he came back to his senses, turned his head and saw the little man by the window, and pulled out a smile with great effort.

"Guy, why did you come here?" Shi Ke walked to his own door, opened the door, and motioned for Shi Qingqian to come in through the main entrance.

Shi Qingqian hurriedly trotted in, she met Shi Ke's unprecedented lonely expression, only felt a tremor in her heart, her brother always hides all his negative emotions when facing him, and he has never exposed all his thoughts like now.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Is it because of the marriage of the fifth princess...... She was very worried...... "Shi Qingqian stretched out his hand and gently rubbed Shi Ke's shoulder.

Shi Ke showed a weak smile, he reached out and grabbed Shi Qingqian's hand, and gently stroked her head gently, and said, "Er, I'm worried about you......"

"So, brother, tell me what happened, so that you can persuade you."

Shi Ke wanted to speak again and again, feeling that even if these things were said, they would be of no use at all. After all, it has long been a foregone conclusion, and no one is powerless to change it. But when he saw Shi Qingqian's clear and dark eyes, he suddenly felt a lot relieved, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal...... Earlier this day, the emperor had already decided that the fifth princess would marry Togo's crown prince Tuoba Liangbi at the end of this summer......"

Shi Qingqian was shocked, "It's settled?" ”

In fact, looking at Shi Ke's dejected appearance today, Shi Qingqian had already had a premonition, after all, this matter would come to pass sooner or later, and she was not so shocked.

Thinking about it carefully, Tuoba Liangbi is half a year younger than himself, more than three years younger than the fifth princess, although there is a saying called "the female junior hugs the gold brick", but I don't know how the fifth princess feels about this marriage.

The top priority is to comfort his brother.

Shi Qingqian thought about it, and there seemed to be nothing to comfort him.

Shi Ke had long known the intentions of the five princesses, but at the same time, he also knew the final fate of the five princesses, so he had been stupidly suppressing the sexiness in his heart from the beginning, and similarly, he also refused the approach of the five princesses.

Shi Qingqian has always felt that his brother is a smart person, but even if he is a smart person, there will be times when his mentality is unbalanced. However, what Shi Ke can do now is no other way than accept everything in front of him.

Linglong Sheji, ridiculous but without the king's life......

"Brother, the fifth princess has always had you in her heart, but it's just ...... For the sake of Yu Guo, it can't be just yours. ”

"I know." Shi Ke replied lightly without hesitation.

The way he had to face reality made Shi Qingqian even more sad.

"At first, I refused to accept her feelings and forced me to pretend to be impatient...... But now I have such a heartache, it's really self-inflicted......" Shi Ke smiled self-deprecatingly, clutching his chest, only to feel that it really hurts there.

Shi Qingqian stepped forward and patted Shi Ke's back as if comforting, looking at her brother's painful appearance, she also became anxious in her heart, "Brother, there is still a long way to go in the future, you and the fifth princess could not be together, you were so smart in the past, why do you look like this now......"

She didn't dare to persuade Shi Ke to cherish the moment, for fear that the time before the fifth princess got married would upset the heartstrings of the two people. Since the end is already doomed from the beginning, it is better to never start, like this...... It won't be too sad either.

Hearing this, Shi Ke was slightly stunned, and suddenly realized his gaffe, and after thinking about it, what Shi Qingqian said was not unreasonable, obviously he refused first, and he also knew from the beginning that the two of them were unwilling at all, what is the point of sinking now?

"Good girl, I'm fine, thank you for comforting me today." Shi Ke stretched out his hand and gently hugged Shi Qingqi, and the person in his arms made him feel extra relieved.

From now on, one will be separated and two will be wide, and each will rejoice.

That's the best ending between them.
