Chapter X
He said this sentence can be regarded as normal reasoning, after all, Shen Zeye takes care of her in every way and blindly maintains her no matter what time she is. However, it was because that man was so good to herself that she didn't want to rely on him for everything!
"He's different, I owe him in the first place, and I can't continue to owe it anymore!" Yan Qingwan said subconsciously, she didn't think much about Helian Chenxuan's words just now, and naturally she didn't hear anything unusual.
However, her words made the other party frown, no matter how you look at it, Yan Qingwan's eagerness to clear up the relationship shows that she cares about Shen Zeye. This kind of cognition made Helian Chenxuan unhappy in his heart, obviously according to the plan, she should be her own woman, but now she is being cared for by another man.
At this point, it is useless to say more, their identities are placed there. No matter what, there is an unbridgeable chasm between them, he has a princess, and she has a husband.
"What this king said has always been effective, but how is Mrs. Hou going to make a plan?" Helian Chenxuan came back to his senses and asked lightly.
Hearing his question, Yan Qingwan knew that she had a play, and it seemed that he still wanted to cooperate with her. It's just that the Prime Minister's side didn't take her as the eldest lady in their eyes at all, and now Mu Feng only favors this second lady who is Princess Chen. Even so, why did he choose to believe her?
Becoming more and more unable to understand the thoughts of the man in front of her, Yan Qingwan found that no matter what time it was, she really couldn't see people's hearts clearly. What is most likely to change in this world is people's hearts, whether it is Shen Zeye, Helian Chenxuan, or Mu Feng, she has never understood it.
"If you had followed your original plan, where would you have been now?" Yan Qingwan lightly opened her lips, looked at Helian Chenxuan with her eyes, and asked very seriously.
Seeing her look like this, Helian Chenxuan fell silent, glanced down at her, and then said softly: "If it were according to my original plan, you would be my side concubine, and then fight to the death with Yan Zhi'er in King Chen's mansion." And I, I will stand on your side, and neither the prime minister nor the saint can interfere in the affairs of the backyard of the palace.
What's more, you and Yan Zhi'er are both the daughters of the prime minister, and the father will definitely let it go. You are both women of this king, and you will not bite it tightly, and naturally you will not interfere in it. Then, the final result is that the woman calculates and calculates, and finally calculates on herself. ”
Although a few months have passed since the incident, Yan Qingwan still feels a little sad when she hears his words. There are very few men in this era who respect women, at least not as equal as men and women in the 21st century. Even Shen Zeye was so polite to her out of repaying her gratitude.
"Actually, I should tell you, I never wanted to be someone's concubine. Whether it's a side concubine or an imperial concubine, all I want is a couple for the rest of my life! Yan Qingwan didn't know what was wrong with her, and she would tell Helian Chenxuan her thoughts.
Even if it was Shen Zeye, she didn't mention it, because she knew that the man had no love for her, and she was just grateful. However, the man in front of him, who is a prince, has no affection for her as much as men and women, and only has honesty between allies.
Maybe his tone was too indifferent, or maybe his look was too serious, which made her want to tell him the truth. However, Yan Qingwan did not regret saying this, after all, many times, there is a listener for many things, which will make her feel a lot more comfortable.
Somehow, when he heard this, he should have made fun of her loudly. But looking at the girl's pious eyes and firm eyes, he couldn't say the sentence, "You are so greedy!" ”
Actually, he should understand her thoughts, although he was born in the emperor's family, he has been used to this kind of polygamy since he was a child. But in his bones, he doesn't like this, so let's take his own queen mother. No matter how prominent the position is, there is no way to get the heart of his own justice, or the whole heart.
Such days are cruel for a woman, and she is busy all day long among the large and small women in the harem, and she also worries about other people's sons and daughters. What the queen has is nothing more than the status of the harem master who is envied by everyone, as well as the supreme right, but her heart has never been warm.
"What, do you think I'm too rampant and demanding?" Seeing his silent appearance, Yan Qingwan suddenly spoke.
Even if the other party doesn't say it, she understands his thoughts, even in the era of rule of law and monogamy, there are countless people cheating, not to mention that in the era when concubines can be taken in the first place, a man's heart is legal, so who else can really understand her thoughts?
"No, I don't think there's anything wrong with your thoughts. It's just that such a goal is too high and too laborious to achieve. Perhaps, he will never be able to find such a person in his life. What would you do if your husband were to marry another woman one day? ”
Helian Chenxuan suddenly spoke, this is what he wants to know the most, whether it is him or Shen Zeye, with their status and status, there can never be only one woman.
Suddenly asked like this, Yan Qingwan paused for a while, and after a while, she raised her head and said firmly: "It was really that one day, I would choose to stay away from here with a letter of resignation and start a new life!" ”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, seeing each other's relief in each other's eyes, but neither of them expected that today's words would become alkaline, until something happened, and then they realized that they couldn't go back!
"That king can only wish you good luck to be able to find such a good person as soon as possible!" Helian Chenxuan said with a smile, what he said had already explained that Marquis Shen was not her lover.
Hearing him say it so bluntly, Yan Qingwan was not displeased, she had gradually integrated into this era. As Mrs. Hou, she has experienced the changes of Princess Chen, and she understands the meaning of King Chen's words better than others.
If when, the current saint suddenly opens his golden mouth and wants Shen Zeye to marry, then he, as a courtier, will definitely not be able to refuse. It's like when he asked for her in front of everyone that day, after all, if you don't obey the holy decree, you will die!
"Qingwan also wishes the prince to find a knowledgeable and virtuous princess as soon as possible!" Yan Qingwan replied very quickly, and she knew the truth of the exchange of courtesy.
"Don't be so polite to this king, tell me what you plan! Why do you want this king to recognize you as an ally and cooperate with you? Helian Chenxuan looked at Yan Qingwan, who was smiling dryly, his eyes were slightly cold, and he asked seriously.
Finally getting down to business? Yan Qingwan put away her playful gaze, sank her heart, and soon a soft voice sounded.
"The plan is still the same, the progress is still the same, the only difference is that I am not your side concubine. But what did the prince originally plan, Qingwan felt that it could still be carried out according to the original plan. Yan Zhi'er is indeed affectionate to His Royal Highness King Chen, as long as there is a flaw, then as long as the other party is used, she can be knocked down! ”
Yan Qingwan's words made Helian Chenxuan's eyes narrow, did she know what what she was saying now meant?
"Yan Qingwan, do you know what your current identity is? Do you know how bad the impact you will have if you do this, even if it hurts Shen Zeye, you will not hesitate to do it? ”
is obviously a hurtful thing to hurt others and herself, in this era of valuing fame, how will people think of her like this? Even if she is really incomparably free, but as Mrs. Hou, she is entangled with a prince, which is not a good thing for the three of them.
Listening to Helian Chenxuan's tone with a little emotion, Yan Qingwan suddenly met his gaze, and the moment they looked at each other, they both understood each other's choice.
Since one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, then what else is there to be entangled. The parties don't care, and he, a big man, doesn't care about this, but many times, there are too many plays, and they often get into the play, and then indulge in it, unable to extricate themselves.
"Do you really have no regrets?" After a long silence, Helian Chenxuan suddenly opened his mouth and asked rhetorically.
It's just that I don't know whether this sentence is asked by the other party or themselves, they all understand that once this plan starts, it is a point of no return. Even if the desired goal is achieved in the end, the result is not so easy.
"No regrets! No regrets! Yan Qingwan said firmly, this sentence is not only for Helian Chenxuan, but also for himself. No matter how difficult the road will be in the future, as long as it is a choice made by yourself, then no matter what you encounter, you can't regret it.
The path you choose will be completed on your knees. It's just that many years later, when things are different from people, can she still maintain today's mood at that time?
"Well, this king will definitely cooperate with you fully!" The man looked up, looked out the window, and whispered.
"Happy working together!" The corners of Yan Qingwan's mouth rose slightly, and her eyes also looked out the window, they all knew that the story had just begun, and there would be a big change soon.
What Yan Qingwan didn't know was that as soon as she left the Hou Mansion, an uninvited guest came to the Hou Mansion.
Steward Shen, who has always been steady, was helpless, because this young lady was really a little too thick-skinned, and he couldn't say anything cruel in the face of a young girl who was just starting to fall in love.
What's more, her identity is there, and he, a subordinate, can't deceive the master. It's just that why is the personality of the girl in this prime minister's house so different? Let's not mention the unfamiliar Princess Chen, just take the current hostess of their family, Yan Qingwan, for example, Mrs. is dignified and gentle, this sixth lady really doesn't know if she is innocent or deliberate.
"Steward Shen, it's okay if my eldest sister is out, I'll just wait for her here. Is Hou Ye's brother-in-law at home? Bi'er asked softly, speaking softly and with a slight shyness.
Seeing Steward Shen's eyes with such a look, he felt uncomfortable, this sixth lady seemed to be interested in their family's marquis. However, as far as he knew, except for Yan Qingwan, the indifferent Hou Ye of their family really didn't care about any woman.
Although this little sister-in-law is not a substantial threat to Yan Qingwan, it is always bad to enter and leave the Hou Mansion like this. The daughter's family, especially those who have not been out of the cabinet, have not yet allowed others. Once the reputation is ruined, it will ruin her life, if this girl is not right-minded, on this ground, from now on to rely on the Hou Ye, it will be even worse.
Thinking of this, Steward Shen said righteously: "Sixth Miss, my wife has something to go out, and the Hou Ye has not returned yet, if you don't humble your duties, you will be sent back first, and when the lady comes back, I will definitely tell her about your arrival immediately." ”
This is no longer a tact, but the other party is still indifferent, which is a bad thing for Steward Shen. At this stalemate, there was a sudden announcement from the family, "Master Hou has returned home!" ”
Before he could react, someone had already rushed towards him one step ahead, looking at Bi'er's figure, Steward Shen sighed, "Madam! Why haven't you come back yet? Do you know that your sister is already attracted to Master Hou? ”
Shen Zeye never thought that as soon as he stepped into the house, he would encounter such a surprise.
"Brother-in-law!" The delicate voice sounded in his ears, and Bi'er blushed slightly and called him carefully.
Shen Zeye, who had never had any feelings for women, didn't have any different feelings, just glanced at her and remembered that she was Yan Qingwan's sixth sister Bi'er. If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, no matter what, you can't snub her mother's family. So, he patiently took care of this little girl.
"Sixth sister? Why are you here? Shen Zeye asked puzzledly, it was not early now, and he came back on time after handling official business.
"Brother-in-law, I came to find the eldest sister, but she was not there, so Bi'er has been waiting for her to come back." Bi'er put away her hot eyes and lowered her head, this look is indescribably endearing. It's a pity that she didn't find out that the other party turned a blind eye to her behavior.
"Uncle Shen, isn't she in the mansion?" Shen Zeye looked at the housekeeper who was already standing beside him, and asked with some confusion.
This sound of "Yi'er" made Bi'er's heart a little sour, at the age when her love was just beginning, she only felt that the man in front of her was really a good man, and he loved his wife so much. If she could be his wife, he would be so kind to him?
"Husband, are you looking for me?" Yan Qingwan's voice suddenly came from behind her, making Bi'er, who was immersed in her fantasies, wake up instantly, and lowered her head a little weakly, not daring to look at her.
Steward Shen was about to tell his master that his wife had gone to King Chen's Mansion, but when he heard Yan Qingwan's voice, he closed his mouth very knowingly, and stood quietly by Shen Zeye's side, facing his hostess.
