Chapter 471: Heart-to-heart
During this period of time, the matter of establishing a reserve can be said to have become a major event in everyone's hearts. Even the casinos in the market have opened gambling plates, and gamblers who are keen on these things have placed bets, whether this deposit is quiet or quiet.
In fact, this matter is very unfair to Shen Mi.
He's done so much, he's never left behind a single thing he should or shouldn't have done, and he's never complained about it because he didn't get the place he deserves, he's been doing what he has to do. But in the end, because of a problem of origin, he had to compete with a young brother for the right to inherit.
It is rare to have a break on this day, just in time for the Double Ninth Festival, and it can be seen that Shen Ran has been working too hard these days, dealing with work from morning to night, and people are going to be stupid, but fortunately they decided to take advantage of the reason for the Double Ninth Festival to pull Shen Mi out of the house full of folds.
Flowers fill the building, evening.
Shi Ke booked a VIP seat on the terrace, he and Shen Mi rushed directly from the palace, and at the same time, Shi Ke also invited Shen Shu and his baby sister, thinking that if Shi Qingqian was there, with her dexterous little mouth, maybe she could make Shen Mi's heart a lot easier.
The sky was dark, and the lanterns of the Double Ninth Festival were hung on the street, and Shi Qingqian and Shen Shu were late.
Shi Qingqian has always been an informal person, especially those two people, one is his elder brother, and although the other is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, they can be regarded as good friends who have played together since childhood, and excessive restraint will make people feel rusty.
"Whew...... It's only September, and it's still a little chilly at night! Before Shi Qingqian could say hello, he walked to the table where Shen Mi and Shi Ke were, reached out and rubbed his cold arm, and sat down naturally.
Shen Shu didn't speak, but just nodded to Shi Ke and Shen Mi respectively, which can be regarded as a greeting. Then he took off his coat and gently draped it on Shi Qingqian's body. Shi Qingqian was unceremoniously
Shen Mi seemed a little taciturn today, it should be said that he had been like this all this time, holding his chin alone, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Tsk ......" noticed Shen Mi's misfit, Shi Ke helplessly poked him with his elbow, "I said that we are conscientious and conscientious, Your Highness, I finally came out to play today, don't you want to be so deep anymore, okay?" Put all the things in your mind that you don't have, and you will know that people are going to be stupid when they look at excerpts all day long! ”
Hearing this, Shen Mi had no choice but to smile bitterly, looked at the various dishes placed in front of his table, and picked up the wine glass in front of him first, "Come on, come on, drink and drink, this wine between flowers is famous...... Tsk, don't drink it, Ziyu ordered flower tea for you, come on! Let's go one! ”
The three of them all felt a little uncomfortable, but they had to raise their glasses to accompany Shen Mi for a drink.
"Ouch, Fifth Highness...... I always feel like I'm worried about something today, huh? After receiving the eyes of Shi Ke and Shen Shu, Shi Qingqian asked tentatively.
"Ahh Shen Mi was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he really didn't look like himself now, so he quickly smiled awkwardly, "No, there are still a lot of excerpts left to deal with today, and I've been thinking about those things...... Maybe that's a little absent-minded, right? ”
Shi Ke shook his head and sighed on the side, "You, you're all out, why can't you relax a little?" The three of us are here to relax with you. ”
"Good, good! I was wrong, I was wrong, I punished myself with a glass! As he spoke, Shen Mi poured himself a glass of wine, raised his head and drank it again.
Shi Qingqian smacked his lips and said, "Fifth Highness, is it the matter of the establishment of the prince that has been noisy in the court and even the entire capital in the past few days that makes you so upset?" ”
Seeing that Shen Mi just pursed his lips, and didn't seem to want to mention this matter, Shi Qingqian continued: "It's okay, Fifth Highness, everyone here is your own person, if you have anything to say, you must say it, otherwise you will always hold it in your heart, and one day you will be depressed!" ”
Shen Mi nodded silently, and then smiled bitterly after a long time, and then raised his head and said, "Yes, it is indeed that thing, alas......"
As a prince, as a person who is qualified to inherit the throne, how can he not be impressed? When Shen Xuan was the crown prince before, Shen Mi did not seem too murderous about the position of the prince, after all, this Shen Xuan could not sit in that position for a long time, which was obvious to everyone.
Shen Mi also thought that after Shen Xuan fell, his father would choose himself without hesitation.
Even if he is not as accomplished as Shen Shu, he is not bad! He has done so much, but he will still make the emperor hesitate because Shen Ran's mother is the emperor's favorite concubine......
Shen Mi never felt how Shen Ran was, after all, he was just a powerless child, he was an innocent pawn in this game, and he couldn't control his fate at all.
Shen Mi is just unwilling, why did his mother die innocently in her early years, is it really that important whether her mother's family power and favor are so important? Is it important enough to ignore your own ability?
"No matter what the outcome is, I can accept it, anyway, I don't have that much murderous intent, but ......" Shen Mi looked sullen, his face seemed to be very painful, "I just need a reasonable explanation." ”
The battle for the storage position is no longer a matter of proving his ability, because Shen Ran is not a 'capable' person at all, and there is no need to prove this for a long time. What this storage battle really represents is the question of who Shen Lun loves more for his two children.
It is precisely because of this that Shen Mi is even more afraid to see what the result is.
He was afraid that after working hard for so many years, he still couldn't compare to a mother's favored child in the eyes of his father. He was afraid that at that time, he would also be blinded by jealousy and become the next Shen Xuan.
"Fifth Highness, this kind of thing is not something you and I can control," Shen Shu said softly, "No matter how much others say, the person who finally decides the case is still the emperor, and all we can do is do our best and obey the king's orders." However, the Fifth Highness should rest assured that we will all help you and stand firmly on your side. ”
Shen Mi smiled lightly and nodded slightly.
He didn't want that throne.
All he wants is Shen Lun's attention and a straight look...... When did it start to be so difficult even for such a small thing?
