Chapter 135 begins
A complimentary remark, but with helplessness, highlighted Situ Wenxuan's feelings for Shen Jing, who wanted to control it but couldn't control it.
Shen Jing listened to his praise, and was naturally happy in his heart, with her reputation, most people looked down on her, but a person with such an identity as Situ Wenxuan looked up to her.
It seems that it is difficult for such two people not to be attracted to each other.
"Your Highness, I have a question that I've always wanted to ask you." Shen Jing didn't know how to take his praise for himself, but he couldn't let the atmosphere be embarrassing, and said with some hesitation after thinking about it.
"Ask!" Situ Wenxuan was curious about what the problem was.
"You and Princess Qi ......" Shen Jing didn't know how to phrase it appropriately, and after saying half of it, he frowned and pondered.
Situ Wenxuan didn't know what she was going to ask, so he guessed for a while, and didn't wait for Shen Jing to continue asking, so he spoke first.
"Do you want to ask me about them?"
Shen Jing was stunned for a moment, she was going to ask about his relationship with them, but it seemed to be about the same, so she nodded.
Situ Wenxuan pondered for a while and began to speak carefully.
Situ Wenxuan's first illness was at the age of twelve, when the crown prince was not established, and many princes secretly competed and formed gangs.
It was precisely because of his illness that he suddenly lost the capital to compete. But because of his extraordinary ability, all the princes deliberately wooed him.
However, because of an illness, his personality has changed, and he doesn't seem to care about anything. In this way, he can say a few words to every prince, but he will not get very close to anyone.
However, such a maverick Situ Wenxuan, not only was favored by the previous emperor, but also favored by the current emperor after ascending the throne, although because of his illness, he did not hold any position in the court, but was often entrusted with important tasks, and the battle that made him famous at the age of eighteen was ordered by the new emperor when he ascended the throne.
Originally, he thought that if he didn't get married in this life, he would die one day.
But he is not an ordinary person in the end, the emperor is still jealous of him, worried that he will be bewitched by the prince who has the intention of plotting chaos, and it will not be good to assist others to seize power.
The solution is to set a family affair for him, and the object is the eldest daughter of the country's uncle's family, that is, the emperor's cousin.
"She has a very strange temperament, she is virtuous at once, she is spicy at once, I rarely communicate with her, she became pregnant soon after marriage, and then she carried me a few aunts."
Situ Wenxuan said that she was naturally the first princess, and when he talked about her, his expression was very light, and he couldn't see any special emotions.
"Not long after giving birth to the baby, without warning, she suddenly committed suicide, and we still don't know the reason for her suicide."
When Situ Wenxuan said this, his face finally changed, and he looked puzzled.
Shen Jing guessed that if no reason could be found, then the woman probably suffered from postpartum depression and couldn't think of committing suicide, and Situ Wenxuan was naturally one of the murderers.
Shen Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he didn't say anything.
After a short pause, Situ Wenxuan went on to talk about the second princess, who was Shu Siqiu, whom Shen Jing knew.
Shu Siqiu's father was Situ Wenxuan's mentor, and he also saved Situ Wenxuan when he was ill. But this man has a big heart and has become a staff member of a vassal king.
It was also during this time that the vassal king wanted to cede the land and claim the king, so he was naturally surrounded and suppressed by the emperor. Situ Wenxuan was entrusted by his teacher to save his daughter, so Shu Siqiu became his second princess.
It's just that in terms of feelings, Situ Wenxuan and her still don't have a relationship between men and women, and the relationship between the two is more like friends. Occasionally talk about poetry and songs, or evaluate individuals, it's not like nothing to say.
However, Shu Siqiu has a sweetheart, she wants to marry someone else, but the daughter of a criminal minister, protected by the King of Qi, does not dare to act rashly.
Because of Shen Jing's husband, the two discussed Shen Jing, and suddenly envied her. And three years have passed since the rebellion, so I thought it should be fine, and the two discussed it and discussed the result of reconciliation.
Speaking of this, Situ Wenxuan sighed helplessly and said to Shen Jing: "I just didn't expect that our affairs would affect you." ”
Shen Jing laughed at himself, and said in a nonchalant tone: "Who made me have a bad reputation!" ”
Situ Wenxuan smiled, did not comment, and continued to talk about the current princess.
"It was the women I rescued outside, and I thought about marrying them out, but before I could act, the princess carried them as aunts."
I don't know what I remembered, Situ Wenxuan suddenly sneered, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "I originally thought of sending them out, but they were not greedy enough." ”
Situ Wenxuan's eyes were too cold, and Shen Jing was a little curious, but he didn't ask much. If Situ Wenxuan wanted to say, he would continue, if he didn't want to, it would definitely be difficult to speak, and Shen Jing naturally couldn't ask.
"I don't have any feelings for them, they are just famous, and they are just calculating to me."
Shen Jing's heart that had been hanging fell because of this sentence, looking at Situ Wenxuan's expression, not only did he have no feelings for those aunts, but he could even be said to be disgusted, thinking that there must be something inside.
"Then why don't you marry a concubine anymore, you have to ......" Shen Jing didn't finish asking, but she knew that Situ Wenxuan understood.
"With a body like mine, marrying someone else is also a scourge, so ......"
Shen Jing nodded clearly, and Situ Wenxuan suddenly said, "Now it's time to harm you." ”
Situ Wenxuan's tone was sad, and Shen Jing couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard it, and the feeling of distress spread like this.
"Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, wishful thinking, you don't have to care so much," Shen Jing comforted, changed his words, and said: "It's good that you and your concubines really have nothing to do with it, if you lie to me, then ......"
Shen Jing didn't say anything for a long time, so what can he do? Isn't it just that you don't have to be with him? But now God has to force it.
Situ Wenxuan suddenly smiled, his eyes doting, "I won't lie to you." ”
Shen Jing pouted and didn't speak, and Situ Wenxuan didn't explain again, only curious: "What did you just say about Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai?" ”
Shen Jing was stunned for a while, and suddenly sighed in his heart, this overhead dynasty is really so difficult to speak.
Shen Jing roughly said this allusion, and after Situ Wenxuan heard it, he said curiously: "Where did you see this story?" ”
“……”
Shen Jing is really unable to explain, Situ Wenxuan has read more miscellaneous books than himself, and he has seen more people than himself, and he has heard more stories than her, Situ Wenxuan has never heard of it, where did Shen Jing come from to listen.
"I dreamed about it." Shen Jing finally said unashamedly.
How could Situ Wenxuan believe it, but he didn't plan to investigate it deeply, Shen Jing had a temperament since he was a child, and it was normal to hear a teenager say it when he was young and ignorant, otherwise it would make sense to listen to what Liang Ju said. And getting along with a man is such a thing, Shen Jing is not good at telling him.
Situ Wenxuan changed the topic in a timely manner, "You like to read miscellaneous books, but your words are ......" Situ Wenxuan paused, as if he was hesitating, until Shen Jing was about to urge, and then he made up his mind and continued: "Your words are really ugly." ”
Shen Jing was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, and then looked at Situ Wenxuan with some dissatisfaction, "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, isn't she?" ”
Listening to her coquettish tone, Situ Wenxuan's heart was soft, "I'll teach you to practice calligraphy." ”
Shen Jing pursed his lips and snorted.
Situ Wenxuan sat for a while, said something to Shen Jing, and then reluctantly said goodbye and left.
Because of that, Shen Jing let go of the worries in his heart, and the two of them spoke calmly, without the previous tension and insincerity.
After Situ Wenxuan left, Shen Jing looked out the window in a daze with his chin propped up. Just now he touched his cheek again, and without further movement, he touched his cheek and turned to leave.
Alas, what little woman in love! Shen Jing couldn't help but sigh.
In the following days, Situ Wenxuan came to sit with Shen Jing and say something, either to talk about someone or to tell a story.
In short, the two have endless topics to talk about, and even agree on many things. After only chatting so much, Shen Jing never asked Situ Wenxuan, did he handle the affairs of those side concubines? I didn't ask Situ Wenxuan if he had any plans for their future?
Shen Jing didn't want to ask, she thought, just let it be, as long as she didn't do anything against her conscience.
On this day, Shen Jing got a new healing recipe and was tinkering in the kitchen, and Gan's family, who had been watching her for a long time, came to the door.
Gan came, seeing that his daughter ate with all her heart, she disagreed, but she didn't mean to stop it.
Shen Jing said to Gan's family: "Mother, you sit for a while, I'll get it ready right away, and I'll bring it to you to taste." ”
Gan nodded, hummed dotingly, and then sat in his daughter's room to eat tea.
Just lifted the cup and took a sip, put down the teacup on one side, and saw a painting on the wall next to Shen Jing's bed, depicting a beautiful woman smiling gently.
This gentle woman was his own daughter, and Gan felt a sigh in his heart, got up and walked to the wall, and carefully examined the painting.
The words Situ Wenxuan at the check-in office made Gan's body shake involuntarily, and the word Sizheng on the seal made Gan's heart flutter.
Gan stopped drinking tea and called Qiu Yan to call Shen Jing.
Shen Jing said as he entered the door: "Mother, why is it so urgent?" I'll be fine right away. ”
Gan Shi looked at this daughter, and suddenly felt too strange, she stared at Shen Jing with a pair of eyes for a long time, her eyes were deep.
This look made Shen Jing's heart only suddenly, "Mother, why do you look at me like this?" ”
Gan raised his hand and pointed to the wall, but his eyes did not look at the painting, still looking at Shen Jing, and said in a stern tone: "What's going on with that painting?" You give me a good explanation. ”
Shen Jing looked at the painting, it was a gift from Situ Wenxuan, she liked it very much, so she hung the painting there. Gan was so smart that he naturally guessed something.
Shen Jing was not afraid, her heart was very calm, she said, "It's what my mother thinks." ”
