Shen Shu didn't come to the academy today, in fact, Shi Qingqian had expected it a long time ago.

He is also 'not young', and he has a lot of government affairs to deal with on weekdays, and he has already begun to come to study day by day.

But today is different, Shi Qingqian heard a big gossip -

There are rumors in the court that people in the court are deliberately urging Shen Shu to choose a concubine. The little county lord of Tuoba Peach, who suddenly visited today, came to Yuguo to 'exchange feelings' with Shen Shu for this purpose.

Shi Qingqian thought that she would be very sad when she heard the news, but she didn't expect that her first reaction was to gloat, she was already able to make up for Shen Shu's sleepless appearance because of this kind of thing.

However, schadenfreude is only one aspect, and after the cold shock came down, Shi Qingqian was really a little faintly worried.

However, the grade of Tuoba Peach is not as good as herself, and she is a foreigner, Shen Shu shouldn't be stupid enough to marry her, right?

Originally, she didn't plan to worry about this matter, Shi Qingqian felt that it was just a rumor in the rivers and lakes, the capital was originally a place where a little wind could set off big waves, maybe it was just that an official in the court mentioned it by the way, and it was found out that it was so big.

Unexpectedly, after Shi Qingqian returned from school that night, Shi Ke, who came back from the palace, told her-

Today, there is a princess from Dongwu who came to the palace to pay respects, and Shen Xiaowang also came to receive her, although Shen Shu's performance is very ordinary, but Dongwu women have always been enthusiastic and unrestrained, and you can see what the purpose of this tuoba peach is.

"Huh? Brother, I heard that someone wants to choose a concubine for Shen Shu, is this true? Hearing this, Shi Qingqian asked. She had to admit that she really cared about it!

Shi Ke rubbed his eyebrows, "It was proposed by Prime Minister Mo Ruan, and the queen's henchmen agreed to seconded it. I don't know who mentioned the matter of Princess Dongwu, and the emperor had to acquiesce to her entering the palace to meet with Shen Xiaowangye. ”

Mo Nguyen...... That's going to be difficult......"

Shi Qingqian bit his nails and thought.

It is impossible for Mo Ruan to choose a concubine for Shen Shu for no reason, he must have another purpose in doing this. It seems that he is preparing to use Dongwu's power to contain Shen Shu, the arrival of this Dongwu princess may be invited by him, and he has to wait until this Tuoba peach arrives in the capital to 'temporarily propose' the matter of choosing a concubine, just to force Shen Lun to agree to this matter.

That night, because of Shen Shu's 'concubine selection', Shi Qingqian didn't even have a good dinner.

When she returned to her room, she saw Shen Shu sitting inside waiting for her.

"Guy, you guessed I'd be here tonight?" Shen Shu saw that there was no difference in Shi Qingqian who entered the room, so he asked.

"Well, I expected." Shi Qingqian sat listlessly opposite Shen Shu, not at all like facing a 'flower thief' who broke into the boudoir at night, but as if he was chatting with friends on weekdays, "I guessed that you are here to explain your 'concubine' matter." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Shu's eyes.

Sure enough, it is the person he fancies, so smart and rational, never messing around, but without losing the cuteness and innocence of an ordinary woman, no wonder there are so many people who have fallen in love with Shi Qingqian since he was a child.

Shen Shu nodded gently, "What do you mean by Kan'er, do you know the whole story of this matter?" ”

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing, not to mention that I am the one who listens," Shi Qingqian tilted his head and said, "Shen Shu, what you said is more credible." ”

Shi Qingqian was also afraid that he would misunderstand something, and was willing to listen to Shen Shu repeat the reason for this matter.

Shen Shu had no objection, so he opened his mouth and told Shi Qingqian this matter in full and carefully.

The fact is that Shen Shu has never said anything about choosing a concubine, but many things are sometimes irrefutable by him.

Mo Ruan's support, Dong Wu's support, the emperor's silence because he had to have a bowl of water, and even the open style and performance of the Tuoba Peach were all stones that pressed on Shen Shu's body, forcing him to bow his head.

"Wait, wait...... That Tuoba peach, what did you do in the court today? Shi Qingqian listened, couldn't help but interrupt him, and asked.

At the mention of this, Shen Shu's brows frowned even tighter, and he let out a long sigh, "First of all, Prime Minister Mo Ruan said a word about how Tuoba Peach and I are so compatible, then Tuoba Peach really took it seriously, and completely regarded himself as a 'princess' to speak, and even threatened that if anyone wants to be my concubine, I will have a game with her." ”

"One game?" The first time I heard that the princess had to compete, it might be ...... Is this Togo's rule? "Race what?"

"Mounted archery, fighting."

Hearing this, Shi Qingqian couldn't help but sigh, this Tuoba peach is really arrogant and unreasonable, most of the women in Yuguo are gentle and virtuous, if it is better than qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, then it is no problem, but how many of these women can ride and shoot and fight?

Shi Qingqian knew that the Dongwu people were brave and good at fighting, and the royal women would also learn the four skills of 'riding, bowing, fighting, and driving'.

"The emperor and Prime Minister Mo Ruan agreed?" Shi Qingqian asked.

Shen Shu was helpless in his heart, but he had no choice but to nod.

Shi Qingqian suddenly felt funny, and said: "Doesn't Prime Minister Mo Ruan often say that Yu is very strong and not humiliated by other countries, no matter how the rules for choosing a concubine are all set by Dongwu's Tuoba Peach, he actually agreed." ”

"Mo Ruan has ulterior motives, so naturally he won't stumble in front of Tuoba Peach." Shen Shu's eyes were extremely cold, "What he wants is to take this opportunity to use Dongwu's power." ”

"What do you think...... Did Mo Ruan collude with Dongwu? Shi Qingqian asked tentatively, "This is a crime of treason." ”

When Shen Shu heard this, he thought for a moment before answering: "I don't think it may be collusion, maybe it's just that he vaguely threw out an olive branch and led the Tuoba Peach to the Yu Kingdom, I have seen the monarch of Dongwu before, shrewd and capable, it is impossible to be willing to be a spearman for Mo Ruan like this." ”

Shen Shu's thoughts coincided with the speculation in Shi Qingqian's heart.

She clapped her hands and stood up with a relaxed face, "What's the matter, since Mo Ruan can't help her openly, then I'll go find a good son tomorrow, Tuoba Peach is her cousin, and what he said should be somewhat useful." ”

Shen Shu nodded, in fact, there was something else he wanted to say in his heart, but he wanted to speak several times, and finally gave up, "Okay, can you use me to accompany you?" ”

"No, no, if you go too, I'm afraid that Tuoba Peach will think that you are going to 'propose'." Shi Qingwan smiled, like a gentle moonlight in the sky.
