Chapter 23: Three Years of Filial Piety
Shen Junru's appearance is beautiful, compared to Shen Xiangning, it can be said that it is not a grade at all, and she has the temperament of an empty valley orchid.
The first time the prince saw it, he felt that such a second person was afraid that only those of his status could be worthy.
"Huang'er, you came just in time, I didn't expect you to remember your sister Junru."
"I remember, we met when we were young, but in recent years, Junru's sister has rarely come to the palace to walk around, and she is unfamiliar."
Shang Shuling, who is in charge of the affairs of the world, is the head of the monarch responsible for the implementation of all government decrees, and the position is the same as that of the prime minister but slightly higher than the position of the prime minister, and he is a minister.
At the same time, Shen Shangshu Ling was greatly favored by the saints and became the mainstay of the Chinese faction.
In this way, not only did the queen want to win over the Shen family and marry Shen Junru, the only concubine of Shen Shangshuling, but there were many other eyes staring at the Shen family.
And with the status of the Shen family, and the love of Shen Shangshuling, even a concubine like Shen Xiangning is not difficult to marry a good family to be the main house, but if you want to cling to the prince, it is still a little worse.
"How can Junru be virtuous, His Royal Highness Lao is worried."
"When I was young, I was like a porcelain doll, but now I am more and more slim."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince praised a few words, if it was the woman next to him, I am afraid that she would have been unable to close her mouth for a long time, but Shen Junru frowned silently when she heard it.
Coupled with Fang Cai's frivolous attitude towards Shen Xiangning, Shen Junru felt more and more that the prince was too frivolous.
"Your Royal Highness has praised it, how can a hundred flowers compare to the national peony? By Niangniang's side, Junru is a green leaf at most. ”
"You girl, you're a clever girl."
The queen was coaxed by her words and smiled, grabbed Shen Junru's hand with one hand, and held the prince's with the other, and actually handed over the hands of the two together.
Shen Junru was startled, as if she had touched a piece of warmth, and suddenly withdrew her hand, and she didn't care about any etiquette or immorality.
Busy half bent over, panicked.
"Junru is offended."
"There is no one here, this palace called you here to ask you what you mean."
The queen didn't go around the bush anymore, and said straight to the point.
In fact, the queen's wishes, the prince has long known, and he also acquiesces, who doesn't want to be the princess, the future queen, and the mother of a country in this big job?
So he didn't think that anyone would be unwilling.
"Erchen is all in charge behind the scenes."
The queen nodded with satisfaction, and turned her phoenix eyes to look at Shen Junru.
"Junru, what about you?"
Shen Junru only felt that her scalp was numb, and she thought about refusing it euphemistically, but now the queen said bluntly, she was afraid that she couldn't avoid it anymore, so she replied.
"Jun Ru is in the wrong love between Niangniang and His Royal Highness, it is really... The mother just went, Junru as a daughter, failed to send her mother to the end is already a big unfilial piety, if you don't keep filial piety, Junru is really speechless to face the ancestors and ancestors, and under the nine springs in the future, there is no shame to face the mother. ”
She refused? On the grounds of filial piety to the mother?
The queen narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, full of consternation, and even the prince showed a thoughtful look.
"Do you know who you're rejecting?"
The prince said in a deep voice.
Shen Junru still bent over, not daring to move.
In the end, it is the person in power who will not take her life, but it is still a matter of only touching her mouth to make her suffer some flesh and skin.
"Jun Ru is blessed, I'm afraid I can't afford to take on this big responsibility."
If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight, she knows that she doesn't have the ability to fight among the palace concubines.
In her previous life, she died too miserably under these conspiracies, and in this life, every step she took was considered and considered, but she was still terrified.
The queen frowned coldly, and only said in her heart that she gave Shen Junru too much face, and she didn't know what to do!
It's just that she is the queen in the end, and she is embarrassed by this matter, and it is not good to spread it, so she lost the previous enthusiasm, raised her eyebrows, withdrew her hand, picked up the blue and white porcelain cup, pinched the lid of the cup with one hand, gently opened the foam on the tea surface, and said.
"You are also a hard worker, yes, filial piety comes first, and this palace is not the kind of person who is not close to people, but this filial piety period is one year, but in the long run, it will take three years."
Three years... In another three years, I am afraid that the situation of Daqian will be able to stabilize a little, and the battle should also come to an end, and now the small actions of several princes are still in the shadows and have not been moved to the surface.
Now, Shen Junru also understood the meaning of the queen's words.
It's nothing more than a threat to her, you refuse the prince today on the grounds of "keeping filial piety", and he will have to obey the "filial piety" one day, refuse all proposals, and keep filial piety!
"This is also the last bit of filial piety that Junru can do for her mother."
"What a dutiful son."
The queen said coldly, and put the cup in her hand slightly heavy on the stone table, making a "dingdong" sound of the porcelain cups colliding, Shen Junru didn't dare to answer, and it was always right to lower her eyebrows.
"Okay, the palace is tired, Miss Shen, you can step down."
"Yes, the folk girl is retiring."
Another blessing, Shen Junru retreated and withdrew from the pavilion, and was not completely relieved until he was a few feet away.
Shen Xiangning, who was standing outside the pavilion, vaguely heard the discussion inside, while scolding Shen Junru for not knowing what to do, and secretly rejoicing, hum, Shen Junru, you are blind, is it possible that you still look down on the prince? That's just right, when she becomes the crown princess, some of you Shen Junru will feel better.
boldly raised his head and threw another wink at the prince, and then lifted his skirt and left with Shen Junru's steps.
In the octagonal pavilion, as soon as Shen Junru left, the queen let out a "bang" and threw out the cup.
"It's not a stupid thing, if it weren't for her ancestors' accumulation of virtue, for Shen Shang's sake, how would this palace take a fancy to her?"
"The queen mother is angry, but she is just a woman, and her sons don't like her very much."
"You know what? Shen Shangshu is the head of the Chinese courtiers of the dynasty, in charge of the world's articles, there are many children under the door, if you don't have the daughter of the Shen family, let the third prince or the fifth prince go, it will be your future trouble! ”
The prince sneered, thinking, when he became the emperor, he would pull out all these "disobedient" old things, he was the prince, the prince, and the future emperor! But he never thought that his path to the throne would be any different.
"The Shen family is not the only young lady Shen Junru, the queen mother, the son, look at it, Fang Cai is not bad, it should still be a good one."
The queen showed a touch of disdain in her eyebrows, and glanced at the prince, who came out of her stomach in the end, and let her see it at the slightest thought.
"It's just a little concubine, the power of her mother's family is weak, and the palace is not optimistic."
"Queen Mother, you forgot, Mrs. Shen has already gone, then, the position of Shen Shangshu's main room is vacant, if her aunt has some means to become the main room, isn't that Miss Xiangning Shen Shangshu's daughter? And the power of the mother family, the queen mother, in the future, the entire cadre will be ours, and whoever wants to be glorious will be rich and noble all his life. ”
