Chapter 253, Candidates for Concubines

King Huan left angrily.

Today he went to the palace to greet his father, and when he saw Shen Mingze, his heart was secretly rising, King Huan paused, and said, "Lord Shen, do you want to know where I went just now?" ”

"What does King Huan want to say?"

"I went to look for Minnanyue, do you know Minnanyue? A gossip woman, she said that the girl of the Zhong family had a phoenix life, and of course she also said... I have been in love with her for 17 years..."

Shen Mingze frowned slightly after hearing this, but quickly became solemn.

"Since it's crazy talk, naturally it can't be taken seriously, besides, what if it's true, if my cousin's fate is extraordinary, then King Huan, do you regret it now? Losing my cousin is the same as losing everything, is it worth it? He snorted lightly, "It's also that you don't know gold and jade, not only lost your beauty, but also lost this great future..."

"You..."

"The next official retired."

Shen Mansion

Today, the house invited an embroidery lady to cut clothes for her, summer is coming, it's time to make some new clothes, but when she was cutting, Yin suddenly asked: "Jinxiu, can you make clothes?" ”

What kind of clothes are made?

The Yin family knew that she didn't know how to make clothes, and she was resentful, shouting that her son was suffering and that she had married someone who couldn't take care of people.

Zhong Jinxiu went back and asked Peach and the others, Peach nodded slightly and said: "I heard that the clothes of the second master are made by the second lady, you see that the second master and the second lady have a deep love, and they have not taken a concubine for many years, and they can't get rid of dry cleaning." ”

Yuzu said: "I also heard that one day the second lady made clothes until late at night, and the second master knew about it, and I was distressed. I haven't let the second lady be tired for a long time..."

Chestnut smiled and said: "Our young lady doesn't like tailors, you don't know, the clothes that were given to my uncle were bought before, and now that we have entered the Shen Mansion, my aunt's clothes are all prepared by the second lady, so naturally we can't trouble our master, besides, doesn't the master still have us?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu glanced at the chestnuts, the chestnuts were a little inexplicable, bowed his head slightly, and continued the needle and thread in his hand.

Zhong Jinxiu said: "It's just clothing-making, you can't learn it, you go and prepare things, I want to learn clothing-making." ”

It's just that Shen Mingze hasn't been seen for a few days.

Seven days later, Zhong Jinxiu finally couldn't bear it anymore and came to Ah Xiang for questioning, but Ah Xiang was hesitant, but he was always reluctant to say more.

"Is my cousin in trouble?"

Ah Xiang shook his head.

Zhong Jinxiu asked again: "Can he be in Yihong Courtyard these days, where Xiao Taohong is?" ”

Ah Xiang bowed his head, not daring to respond.

"Well, you can go back."

Zhong Jinxiu looked at the clothes he had worked hard to make in the past few days, and finally sighed.

She ordered someone to put away her clothes and went out the next day, but instead of looking for Shen Mingze, she went to the Treasure Workshop.

On the second floor of the Treasure Workshop, Zhong Jinxiu sat on the railing at will, looking at the people coming and going, passing the time, but it was a little boring after a long time.

Just as he was stunned for a moment, Zhong Jinxiu saw Xiao Ruiyi standing downstairs, King Huan?

He tilted his head and looked at her with a puzzled gaze, like anger, like bitterness, as if he was unwilling?

Zhong Jinxiu frowned secretly, but King Huan actually stepped into the treasure shop.

His Royal Highness King Huan entered the Treasure Workshop, regardless of Xiao Er's obstruction, he insisted on going up to the second floor, Zhong Jinxiu watched, and let Xiao Er continue to be busy with himself.

King Huan came upstairs and asked, "Are you really unwilling to marry this king because of what Min Nanyue said?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu looked at His Royal Highness King Huan who came in and said, "Does His Royal Highness King Huan believe in Min Nanyue very much?" ”

King Huan asked, "What did Min Nanyue tell you?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu shook his head and said, "Back then, King Mu was killed, and Princess Mu committed suicide. Leaving the crazy Min Nanyue, how much do you think she can know about your private affairs? ”

His Royal Highness King Huan looked at her in confusion, and Zhong Jinxiu chuckled: "No, she can't know." ”

Zhong Jinxiu said again: "It's me, who has been sleeping with you for 12 years, helping you achieve great things, helping you quell the rebellion, and I want to be in harmony with you." Oh no...... Your wolf heart and dog lungs are not ordinarily embarrassing. ”

King Huan suddenly felt a little sentimental in his heart, and wanted to explain something, but at this moment, Peaches came up in a hurry and said, "Master, my uncle is here." ”

King Huan didn't know why, turned around and left, and said to Zhong Jinxiu when he left: "Wait for me." ”

However, Shen Mingze came in, just passing by King Huan, what King Huan wanted to say to him, he ignored it, went up to the second floor, saw Zhong Jinxiu, and asked, "Why did King Huan come?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu looked at him and didn't say anything.

Shen Mingze walked forward and asked, "Is he bothering you?" ”

Zhong Jinxiu said, "No." ”

I didn't want him to think too much and said, "Why did you come back at this time?" ”

Shen Mingze heard that King Huan went to look for Minnanyue, which made him wary, so he chased after him.

"I'll come over when I'm free."

"Oh."

"Cousin, how did you meet King Huan?"

Zhong Jinxiu looked at Shen Mingze, seemed to be a little angry when he heard his words, and a little disbelieving himself.

Zhong Jinxiu smiled bitterly and said, "I'll come and take a look." You... I'll be back in a minute. ”

Shen Mingze didn't ask, but said, "Well, let's go home first when I'm done, I'll go back a little later today." ”

At night, Zhong Jinxiu couldn't sleep, so he sat next to him and read, he waited for Shen Mingze to come back, and some words were explained after all.

Soon, Shen Mingze finally came back, and Zhong Jinxiu got up to greet him.

"Master, my uncle is drunk."

Zhong Jinxiu stepped forward to take it, but in addition to the smell of wine, there was still a bit of fat powder.

Zhong Jinxiu was slightly stunned, and silently let it go, and Shen Mingze fell down without support for a while.

Seeing this, Momoko said, "Chestnut, come and help carry my uncle to bed?" ”

Chestnut obeyed orders, she had no chance to wait in the house, let alone contact her uncle, in recent days, my aunt has not come back often, and everyone speculates that the master has an awkward relationship with my uncle, this may be their opportunity.

Thinking of my uncle's majestic body, I was a little infatuated in my heart.

When the uncle was served to the bed, the chestnut was looking at the handsome face obsessively, and couldn't bear to leave for a while.

Momoko pulled her and motioned for her to go.

When I went out, I heard Peach's warning voice: "Chestnut, that's our uncle, you have to be careful to collect it for me, otherwise don't blame me for beating you." ”

Chestnut bowed his head silently and said, "Peach, what do you say, how dare I?" ”

"If you don't dare."

Zhong Jinxiu in the house looked at the drunk Shen Mingze, and didn't know what to think, but after looking at it for a long time, he finally stepped forward, took off the dirty clothes on his body, threw them in one place, and was about to cover him with a quilt, but his hand was caught.

Ranting the drunken man, he suddenly said, "Cousin, do you like me, or do you like King Huan?" ”

What the?

It seemed that without waiting for her words, Shen Mingze said again: "You have lived with him for seventeen years, and you have some friendship after all, right, hehe..."

He laughed at himself and said, "Even if I imprison you by my side in this life, is your heart biased towards him after all?" ”

The voice was so low that she seemed to hear it clearly and then she didn't seem to hear it clearly.

Thinking of his own plan, Zhong Jinxiu did not respond after all.

Shen Mingze woke up the next day, but he didn't see Zhong Jinxiu's figure, he got up and had a headache.

At this moment, they were opened, and it was a little maid.

When Lizi saw Shen Mingze, he came in with a spring face: "Uncle, are you awake?" ”

"Where's your young lady?"

"The young lady has gone to say hello to the second lady, and ordered the slave and maid to wait for you." She stepped forward and said, "Slave and maid are waiting for you to dress." ”

Shen Mingze said coldly: "No need, go down." ”

Chestnut wanted to say something, but when she saw Shen Mingze looking at her with cold eyes, she had to withdraw as if she was going to swallow her alive.

Shen Mingze got up and asked, "Is your young lady here?" ”

"Miss, I accompanied the second lady to the temple to offer incense, saying that I hope Miss can conceive my uncle's child as soon as possible."

Shen Mingze frowned, he didn't eat any food, so he went out to look for her.

Shen Mingze found her and saw her in the temple, in a daze at a thousand blessing trees seeking good fortune.

It seems that in her previous life, after she got married, when she met her for the first time, she was in this courtyard, facing the thousand blessing trees, full of Yousi.

At that time, she was already the wife of King Huan and the queen mother of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Cousin, did you say I was right?"

At that time, she was not pregnant with a child, and came to the monastery to ask for an heir, but he secretly warned the master of the monastery and told her: "Since you have no chance, you must not force it." ”

"Do I really have no children in this life? Do I really want to bring Jin Ling close to the palace so that she can be happy with him and give birth to a child? ”

At that time, he said: "They are all their own sisters, and the children she gives birth to will call you aunt, but you are the queen and he will also call you the queen mother." It doesn't matter..."

At that time, he knew that she had a strange poison in her body and could not get pregnant for the rest of her life. But he didn't tell her, and he didn't come to the rescue.

It's just that she is not pregnant, and it doesn't hurt her life.

In his selfish heart, he was unwilling to let her conceive someone else's child.

Zhong Jinxiu said: "Just now, my mother begged a monk to tell me a fortune, saying that I have no chance with an heir in this life, hehehe... Sure enough, there are some things that you can't force on. ”

Even if I try my best.

Shen Mingze didn't know if he was in the previous life or in this life, and some of the plots seemed to coincide.

Zhong Jinxiu seemed to see Shen Mingze and said, "Cousin, you're here." ”

Shen Mingze looked at the woman who deliberately tore a few corners of her mouth, and couldn't tell what she was thinking, she only felt depressed in her heart, turned around and left.

Zhong Jinxiu saw that he was gone, and he didn't chase him.

After worshipping the Buddha, Zhong Jinxiu accompanied Yin back to Shen's house, Yin looked at her, from the resentment at the beginning, to the helplessness at the end.

"Jinxiu, your cousin has a deep affection for you, is this how you repay your cousin?"

Zhong Jinxiu frowned slightly and did not respond.

"Jinxiu, your status is precious, even if you welcome a concubine, it won't affect you in the slightest, and besides, your cousin has a deep affection for you, so naturally he won't wronged you, as long as you..."

"I promise..."

It seems that Jinxiu didn't expect to agree like this, "Are you serious? ”

"Naturally, you also said that my cousin has a deep affection for me, and I can't let my cousin die. It's just a candidate for a concubine, but can there be a candidate for a mother? ”
