Chapter 31: Rejection Again
"This king is naturally backwards, unlike someone who can't read a single word." Shen Nanfeng said jokingly, watching Yu Xizhou's face turn from red to blue, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable.
Yu Xizhou snorted, he originally wanted to tease Shen Fox, but he didn't expect to be ridiculed. In fact, she is not illiterate, but the writing here is a little different from modern times, so she doesn't know much.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Yu Xizhou pursed his lips, put his hands on his back and prepared to leave.
"Stop!"
Shen Nanfeng looked at Yu Xizhou, who was about to leave, his eyes became dark again, and he was suddenly a little afraid that she would never be found again if she left.
"What?" Yu Xizhou stopped, suddenly lay down in front of Shen Nanfeng, supported his chin with both hands, and said suspiciously.
Shen Nanfeng stood up and told Yu Xizhou that the prince didn't get the answer he wanted today, and he also touched his nose, and he would definitely not let them go.
And Shen Yunchen didn't come with him today, if it was really to avoid people's eyes, it would be a good thing, but if they were to find someone else in the back, then they would be in danger.
Yu Xizhou couldn't be the master, and she didn't know what to do, she just said that she believed that Shen Nanfeng could protect herself, and then left under the pretext of being physically tired.
"Remember to drink the porridge!" Yu Xizhou did not forget to tell Shen Nanfeng before leaving.
On the second day, Shen Nanfeng went to the palace and asked to meet the emperor, saying that there was something important to discuss.
For him, a rare guest in the palace, the emperor naturally did not slack off, and immediately let people bring him in?
"What! What a bold man they are! After hearing Shen Nanfeng's intention, the people on the stage became angry and slapped their palms on the table in front of them.
Although he is old, there is still a hint of cruelty in his eyes, which makes the temperature around him drop a lot.
Hearing the roar of the emperor inside the door, the guards outside the door couldn't help but shiver. Thinking about it, he hadn't been angry for a long time, but now listening to his voice, what King Qin said might be a bit serious.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to my house yesterday and tried to extract a clue from my mouth. As a result, he returned in vain, and he would definitely not let go of the Qinwang Mansion, and asked the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible, so as to calm the hearts of the people of the world. Shen Nanfeng saluted respectfully, with a hint of anger in his voice.
Seeing Shen Nanfeng like this, the people on the stage hurriedly walked down and gently lifted his hand on his chest like a request.
The emperor frowned, and said earnestly: "I hope that King Qin can help me, and the prince's side is easy to do, as long as I don't die one day, he has to listen to me, but...... After all, he is my sibling, and the power of the army is now in his hands. ”
Looking at the embarrassed look of the person in front of him, Shen Nanfeng couldn't help but fall into deep thought. This is indeed a difficult problem, even if he mobilizes all the soldiers and horses in his hands, I am afraid that it is not an elite army of the enemy Shen Yunchen.
The atmosphere was solemn for a while, and the Yellow Emperor looked at the young man in front of him who was deep in thought, the imperial nephew he had always been proud of, and slowly walked to his place.
"For today's plan, only King Qin, you will enter the court as an official and force Shen Yunchen to give up the right to send troops."
When Shen Nanfeng heard this, he frowned, then shook his head, and once again told the Ninety-Five Supreme in front of him that he would never be able to step into the middle of the court for half a step.
The emperor was not surprised at the expected answer he heard, but he still looked embarrassed, and said with some requests: "Shen Yunchen is in power to the government and the opposition, but he is perverse, is King Qin still haunted by the death of the Yun family?" ”
Shen Nanfeng's eyes darkened, and he saluted again, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart, "The Qinwang Mansion can naturally fully support the emperor, but it is absolutely impossible for this king to enter the court as an official, if the emperor is fine, I will leave first!" ”
After saying that, he left angrily, the man behind him wanted to say something but didn't, he didn't stop Shen Nanfeng from leaving, after he left, he asked people to secretly protect the Qinwang Mansion, and then sent someone to the prince's side to monitor their every move.
Yu Xizhou knew that Shen Nanfeng was back, so he hurried to find him, because he heard that his face was very dark when he came back, and he was afraid that something would happen to him.
"The emperor was very angry and said that he would deal with the prince as soon as possible, but Shen Yunchen was a little tricky because he had too much power." Shen Nanfeng told Yu Xizhou about his conversation with the emperor today and the emperor's desire to become an official in the court.
Yu Xizhou frowned after hearing this, but although Shen Nanfeng had the title of King Qin, he had never seen him go to the court. But he can't rest assured that the current emperor is here, otherwise he wouldn't let King Yuxian discuss some court matters with him every time.
"My mother told me before the temporary that the officialdom was chaotic and didn't want me to be involved." Seeing Yu Xizhou's doubts, Shen Nanfeng directly stated the reason why he refused to go to court.
Yu Xizhou looked at Shen Nanfeng, who had some sadness in his eyes in front of him, and a trace of distress welled up in his heart, and he hated himself for a while that he couldn't do anything, which could only give him a headache.
Seeing that the listless Shen Nanfeng had lost his former brilliance, Yu Xizhou decided to cheer up and help him get out of the shadow of his mother's concubine.
"People can't be resurrected after death, you can't die with this promise to talk about things, you can't be weak when you need to come forward now, I think your mother must have her reason for saying this to you, she must be afraid that you will continue to pursue it."
Yu Xizhou told Shen Nanfeng that he couldn't go on like this forever, and Shen Nanfeng was also a little puzzled by his mother's death, and his heart was a little shaken when he heard her words, so he asked her to rest first and think about it herself.
Seeing Shen Nanfeng cheer up, Yu Xizhou smiled happily and prepared to make him supper, because he hadn't eaten much today.
In the quiet night, only crickets were called, Xiao You was bored and wanted to go out for a walk, but he saw that the kitchen light was still on, and he was very puzzled.
"Who's still in the kitchen in the middle of the night?" Xiao You muttered, walked in curiously, and saw a familiar figure busy on and off.
Yu Xizhou was thinking about helping Shen Nanfeng prepare for food, and he didn't feel someone coming in behind him, and he was concentrating on stirring the eggs in his hands.
"Princess, why are you still in the kitchen at such a late hour?" Koyu approached and asked.
Yu Xizhou, who didn't notice him, was taken aback, and when he saw that it was Xiao You, he breathed a sigh of relief, and gently patted his chest with one hand, soothing his pounding little heart.
"You scared me!"
Yu Xizhou put the bowl in his hand aside, and pretended to be angry and looked at Xiao Yu in front of him. Xiao You was a little flustered when she heard her words, but in the middle of the night, Yu Xizhou's appearance in the kitchen would also scare others.
Looking at Xiao You's somewhat aggrieved eyes, Yu Xizhou couldn't help but smile, patted him on the shoulder hard, and said with a big grin: "I'm playing with you." ”
Xiao You felt a weight on his shoulders, and then Yu Xizhou's words made Xiao You's heart relax a lot. looked at Yu Xizhou smiling stupidly, revealing his two rows of neat big white teeth.
"The prince didn't eat much today, so I thought about helping him prepare a little supper and make do with it." Yu Xizhou said as he picked up the bowl he had put down, stirring it in his hand.
Xiao You nodded, looking at Yu Xizhou's busy appearance and wanted to help her, but he didn't know what to do, seeing that she hadn't had time to make a fire, Xiao You squatted down.
After a while, the stove lit up, Yu Xizhou nodded, and the children could be taught.
"Princess Shizi, there is a question that Xiao You has not been able to understand, and I want to ask the princess." Xiao You held the firewood in his hand, and his eyes were staring at Yu Xizhou, who was making peace.
"Say it."
Xiao You frowned, put down the firewood in his hand, patted the ashes on his hands, and looked at Yu Xizhou with a serious face.
"In today's world, the more royal it is, the more dangerous it is, the princess could have lived a dull life, why should she step into the royal family, and the character of the princess can't fit in at all, and it's too simple, and she will only become a pawn in the hands of others."
Listening to Xiao You's heartfelt words, Yu Xizhou was stunned, but continued the work at hand.
I don't know whether to laugh at myself or others, Yu Xizhou sneered and said, "Maybe it's because of fame and fortune." ”
Xiao You heard Yu Xizhou's words, she was puzzled, and her good-looking brows furrowed, if Yu Xizhou was because of fame and fortune, she didn't need to take such a risk at all, because what she knew with her relationship with the prince would definitely make her live a better life than she was now.
Yu Xizhou took out his hand, rinsed it with clean water, and turned on the boiling water.
"I know that everyone's birth is not something they can choose, and so do I and others?"
Yu Xizhou saw that the water was not yet boiling, so he motioned to Xiao You Tianchai, and then squatted next to him and put his hand on his shoulder.
"From the moment the emperor gave me the marriage, I indicated that I was a chess piece, and no one could change it."
After speaking, Yu Xizhou stood up and looked at the night outside the door, with some melancholy in his eyes.
Looking at her lonely figure, weak and helpless. Xiao You sighed, she was just a little slave, she felt helpless, although she was a princess, but who knew what she was facing.
"Concubine Shizi, please rest assured, as long as Xiao You is here in the future, no one will let anyone hurt a single hair of you." Xiao You stood up suddenly and said solemnly.
Hearing Xiao You's words, Yu Xizhou couldn't hold back a smile, and wanted to tease him a few words, but looking at his determined appearance, he still held back.
"Good! After that, my net worth and life will be handed over to you, you must protect me! Yu Xizhou patted Xiao You's shoulder, and there was a trace of unbearability in his heart when he met his firm eyes.
It was already very late after making supper, watching Xiao You yawn constantly, Yu Xizhou took the end plate in his hand and asked him to go back to rest first, originally Xiao You insisted on going, but was sent away by Yu Xizhou to find Shen Nanfeng for something.
Yu Xizhou knocked on the door a few times but there was no response, so he had to kick the door open, and couldn't help but sigh that the quality of this door was really good.
"Bang~"
