Chapter 15: Undercurrents

Shen Qingyun looked at his keen appearance and smiled, "It's nothing, it's just that I took over the shop of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there is a jade shop among them." ”

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a precious thing in your Prime Minister's Mansion." Nan Wuyue touched the beads in her hand with satisfaction, and admired at the same time.

"You girl is quite powerful, you have taken down the shop of the Prime Minister's Mansion in just a few days, how could you have been so miserable before if you have such ability." Nan Wuyue sat opposite Shen Qingyun and said.

"In the past, I always wanted to take a step back and open the sky, but now this sentence is not practical." Shen Qingyun shook her head helplessly.

"I heard that yesterday your Prime Minister's Mansion turned upside down again, and they knew that you entered the palace, and their eyes were red." Nan Wuyue looked at Shen Qingyun.

"It's okay, I'll show them the world in a few days." Shen Qingyun hooked the corners of her mouth, and when Nan Wuyue saw her like this, she knew what she had come up with.

"By the way, little girl, do you feel that there is a murderous aura in the garden." Nan Wuyue suddenly squinted her eyes and watched Shen Qingyun speak.

"Yes, but what does it have to do with me, who made their Third Highness not know how to be interesting at all. The maid who raised this yard waited for him every day. Shen Qingyun shook her head, looking compassionate. Although it seemed a bit exaggerated, she really didn't want to let go of any opportunity to run on Xiahou Yuanzhi.

"Then you are wrong, I think Yuanzhi is very good to you, but they came back with you yesterday. It's really envious, why don't you think you're tempted. Yuanzhi not only has a good family background, but also looks good and has brains. Nan Wuyue looked at Shen Qingyun anxiously for a while, as if she was urging her old mother to get married.

"Heh, if it is someone else who cooperates with him, he will also hold someone else's, what is there to be tempted. You don't even eat meat yourself, and you thought you were pure-hearted and had few desires, but you didn't expect it to be so worldly. Shen Qingyun glared at Nan Wuyue.

"You girl, I want to find a good marriage for you, this is the most important thing in a woman's life, I tell you don't look at Yuanzhi is a little cold now, but he is a good husband. How many people outside are waiting in line to marry in, why don't you take advantage of such a good opportunity when you say you have it?

If you miss this opportunity, you won't have a place to cry. Nan Wuyue saw that Shen Qingyun was not moved, and continued to lobby.

"It's still close to the water, I think you should find a good family for yourself first, I heard that there are a lot of girls chasing you, you are still alone, why are you not interested in women? And don't call me all day long, little girl, look at you, you're not much older than me. Shen Qingyun hurriedly ended the topic, not wanting to say any more, otherwise she would have to listen to him for a long time according to Nan Wuyue's temperament.

"Don't talk nonsense all day long, you know what, in my eyes you're just a little girl." Nan Wuyue had a sense of superiority, but he didn't know that Shen Qingyun had already known his details.

Two days later, Shen Qingyun's injury was no longer serious, and seeing that the palace banquet was imminent, Shen Qingyun went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first to prepare.

After Shen Qingyun went back, she went back to Luohuayuan directly, Shurui and Chu Rui were waiting at the door, and they showed a smile when they saw her come back.

"Miss, you're finally back, how is it fun in the palace?" Hatsurui greeted him first.

"Let's go in and talk." Shen Qingyun pulled the two into the room.

"Are there any rumors in the Prime Minister's Mansion these days?" The first thing Shen Qingyun had to do was to understand the situation, he wanted to know what was happening here when he was away, so that he could arrange the next plan.

"On the day the young lady left, the lady once suggested to the prime minister that the young lady might go out and fool around, and she would go out early and return late all day, saying that it was a bit bad for girls to always show their heads outside.

But soon the people of the Third Highness came, saying that the young lady had entered the palace. Then nothing happened, but Mrs. was very sour, saying that the young lady knew that our family did not like to contact with the Third Highness, but she did not care about the position of the Prime Minister's Mansion and was always with the Third Highness, and she acted a little unruly. Shurui told Shen Qingyun what had happened in the past few days.

"These but expectedly, Madame asked people to tie me up, and almost didn't kill me, it was His Royal Highness who saved me, and I didn't come back from recuperating outside these days. But don't talk about this matter with others, you will accompany me to the palace banquet tonight. We're going to give them a big gift. Shen Qingyun's eyes flashed with sparkling light.

"Miss, sir, please come over." The butler's voice rang out outside.

"Got it, I'll go in a moment." Shen Qingyun replied softly, but she didn't expect that she had just come back Shen Ruiyuan was anxious to know the situation, it seemed that he was moved after all. Sometimes a man's thirst for power and wealth is enough to leave him with no place to die.

Shen Qingyun went to Shen Ruiyuan's study after packing up, and this time Shen Ruiyuan's attitude towards her changed a lot.

"Yun'er, come and be a father, I have something to say to you." The prime minister looked at Shen Qingyun, and for the first time his eyes flashed with fatherly love, but Shen Qingyun only felt a little sick to his stomach.

"What are you looking for me?" Shen Qingyun is still cold, but she is no longer as-for-tat as before.

"Yun'er, although you still refuse to recognize me as a father, Yun'er, I am your father after all. As for your mother's business, I didn't do it right.

But Yun'er, you also have to be considerate of the difficulties of being a father, when you were a child, your father did not pay much attention to you, and that was because I felt sorry for your mother, so I didn't dare to see you. I didn't expect it to make your life so hard.

Yun'er, now you've grown up. In the future, my father will compensate you well, and you don't have to hold a grudge against your father in the past, I have no choice but to do so. The prime minister spoke, looking bitter, and he didn't know that he thought he was sincerely repentant.

"As a last resort, the Prime Minister didn't have anything that forced you back then, it was because you were not satisfied with the status quo and used my mother to pave the way for you.

But those are old things, and my mother warned me many times before her death, so that I should not hate you. So even if I don't have any hatred for adults now, it's not because of what you said today, but because of my mother's admonition.

My lord came to me today for something, but it doesn't matter. Although my ability is limited, if I can do it, I will help the Prime Minister's Mansion for my mother's sake, after all, I still have to live here, so it will be regarded as a transaction between us. It was impossible for Shen Qingyun to forgive the prime minister, not to mention that she knew that this was just Shen Ruiyuan's ploy to make her obedient.

"Qingyun, have you been in the palace these days?" Although the effect was a little worse than expected, Shen Ruiyuan knew that he would accept it when he saw it, and he relied on proportion to stand tall in the court for so many years.

"Didn't the Third Highness already ask someone to pass the word, what are you suspicious of?" Shen Qingyun spoke indifferently.

"No, no. What you said two days ago, my father has already thought about it, and I think what you said is very reasonable. How is the relationship between you and Your Highness developing now, Your Royal Highness is cold and thin, and is usually lukewarm to people, but he is very good to you......"

"The prime minister wants to marry me, and then marry Shen Qingwen to the eldest prince. You're really clever in this calculation, but I and the Third Highness are just friends, so there is no need to talk about this matter. But there is another thing, I can help the Prime Minister and successfully send Shen Qingwen out, as for whether she can get the favor of the eldest prince, that is her ability. Shen Qingyun interrupted the Prime Minister's words, it was impossible to exchange her fate and happiness for the glory of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"What can you do?" The prime minister's eyes lit up and he watched Shen Qingyun speak. He had long wanted to marry Shen Qingwen, but the eldest prince had no intention of taking a concubine, and he couldn't rashly propose it, so he could only wait.

"I was also invited to tonight's palace banquet, and Shen Qingwen should have been invited as well. The invitation to the minister's children at this palace banquet itself means to choose a concubine, as long as the eldest prince can take a fancy to your baby daughter and marry her, it will be a matter of time. Shen Qingyun spoke.

"What kind of solution is this?" The prime minister looked at Shen Qingyun and spoke.

"Don't worry, I'll let His Royal Highness help when the time comes. If the queen said that Shen Qingwen would be pointed out to the eldest prince, the emperor would naturally agree. Shen Qingyun smiled and spoke unhurriedly.

"This method is good, Qingyun, then this matter will be handed over to you. If you can really marry your daughter-in-law to the eldest prince smoothly, then you will be the hero of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The prime minister was a little excited.

"But there is one condition, if the prime minister does not agree, then the Third Highness may not have time to help." Shen Qingyun watched the prime minister speak.

"Whatever conditions, as long as I can do it, my father will agree to you." The prime minister nodded frequently.

"At the palace banquet, it was announced that I was the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Shen Qingwen was just a concubine. Otherwise, I would have to sit idly by and watch what happened today. Shen Qingyun put forward his own conditions, but let the prime minister stay where he was.

"Qingyun, you have to know that it is impossible for the eldest prince to marry a young lady who is out of the house, what do you mean by this?" The prime minister was a little angry.

"I just said that the eldest prince married Shen Qingwen, but I didn't say that Shen Qingwen should be the main room. She entered the palace of the eldest prince, and even if she was a side concubine, she was not aggrieved. However, if the prime minister doesn't agree to me, I'm afraid that the position of this concubine will be gone. Shen Qingyun looked at the prime minister, she had already thought about how to get the prime minister to agree to her conditions.

"Okay, I promise you." The prime minister nodded, and he had no strength to refute Shen Qingyun's conditions. Now he still has to rely on Shen Qingyun to consolidate his position.

"Okay, if the Prime Minister has nothing else to do, I'll step back first. Adults can tell them to go down and let someone help my sister dress up. Shen Qingyun got up, then turned around and walked out the door.

In the evening, the Prime Minister's Mansion and his family were all dressed up and went to the palace together.
