Chapter 239: His Mother
After getting the painting, Shen Changge hesitated to say goodbye.
However, just as she was about to speak, her eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Shen Yiqing's table, where there was a crystal clear jade pendant.
At that moment, she couldn't help but speak: "Uncle Huang, is the jade pendant yours?" ”
Shen Yiqing followed her gaze and looked at Yu Pei, her expression was in a trance for a moment, and then nodded: "It's the king's." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the jade pendant and put it in the palm of his hand to study it carefully.
Shen Changge stretched his neck to look at the jade pendant in his hand, frowned slightly and said, "Why haven't you ever worn such a beautiful jade pendant?" ”
"This is what this king's mother left behind when she was alive. This king has been collecting it, and today he suddenly remembered it, so he took it out and looked at it. Shen Yiqing said slowly.
When Shen Changge heard this, she didn't know what to say for a while, and after a while, she whispered: "Why does this jade pendant look like half a piece?" ”
"It's only half a block, indeed." Shen Yiqing heard her words and spoke slowly, "This king also asked his mother, where is the other half of the jade pendant?" But the mother never said, and the king never asked again. ”
"Concubine Tai refused to say, I think there is a reason for her." Shen Changge said in a low voice.
Shen Yiqing raised his eyes to look at her, and said in a somewhat bitter tone: "Even if this king wants to explore the secret of this jade pendant, there is no way to find out. After all, the mother has been dead for many years. ”
Looking at the loneliness that appeared in his eyes, Shen Changge only felt distressed for a while, and wanted to step forward to comfort him.
She had never seen him so lonely and lost, presumably, in his heart, he must be thinking about his mother, right?
She had no impression of his mother, the emperor's favorite concubine, and even in her memory, she didn't seem to have seen this concubine.
I've only heard a few of them from other people's mouths.
It is said that this concubine is a gentle and virtuous woman, and she is very favored by the emperor.
And when Concubine Taishu entered the palace, Shen Yiqing was already two years old.
It is said that when the first emperor went out on patrol, he met Concubine Taishu, and after the two fell in love, there was Shen Yiqing.
It's just that due to the situation, the emperor failed to take Concubine Taishu back to the palace immediately, but only two years later, he took Concubine Taishu and Shen Yiqing's mother and son back to the palace.
Moreover, as soon as they brought their mother and son back to the palace, the first emperor tried his best to override public opinion and named Shen Yiqing as king.
It can be seen from this that the emperor loved their mother and son so much.
While she was secretly contemplating, Shen Yiqing had already put the jade pendant back on the table, and the whole person was lazily leaning on the back of the chair, looking at her contemplative appearance for a long time.
After a while, he slowly spoke: "What is the prince thinking?" Thinking so distractedly. I wonder if this king is lucky enough to know? ”
His deep and magnetic voice pulled Shen Changge's thoughts back.
Shaking his head slightly, Shen Changge sneered: "I didn't think about anything, I was just thinking, since this jade pendant was left to the imperial uncle by the princess, why didn't the imperial uncle wear it with him?" Besides, this jade pendant is very good-looking, and it is very worthy of you, Uncle Huang. ”
Shen Yiqing glanced at the jade pendant and asked tentatively, "Very worthy of this king?" ”
Shen Changge nodded without hesitation, staring at him with a pair of clear eyes, as if he was afraid that he wouldn't believe it.
Catching up with her serious gaze, Shen Yiqing hooked the corners of her lips without a trace, and picked up the jade pendant again.
After looking at it silently for a while, he said, "Why don't you put it on for the prince to help the king?" ”
"Me?" Shen Changge looked at him in surprise, his eyes full of surprise.
What kind of play is he doing?
Isn't it just wearing a jade pendant? Can't he do it himself?
However, Shen Yiqing didn't give her a chance to refuse, walked up to her with the jade pendant, and directly stuffed the jade pendant into her hand.
At this moment, she couldn't refuse even if she wanted to.
So, she could only put the box that she had been holding in her arms back on the desk, and then took the jade pendant and prepared to put it on for him.
But when she put her hand on his waist, she hesitated.
Why does this feel so weird?
It was as if she was doing something embarrassing to him.
She lowered her head, and she couldn't put the jade pendant on him.
Shen Yiqing didn't urge her, but lowered his eyes slightly, staring at her for a moment.
The deep gaze seemed to imprint her firmly in his mind.
After a pause like this, Shen Changge took a deep breath, and finally reached his hand to his waist and touched his black belt.
Carefully and carefully put the jade pendant on his waist, Shen Changge breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright."
As she spoke, she subconsciously looked up at Shen Yiqing, but in an instant, she bumped into his eyes that were as deep as a cold pool.
At this moment, his deep phoenix eyes were full of concentration, staring at her for a moment, reflecting her somewhat dazed appearance.
At this moment, Shen Changge only felt that his brain was blank, as if all his thoughts were running away at this moment.
She stared at him blankly until his handsome face slowly approached her, magnifying in a large form.
Snapping back to her senses, she took two steps back, almost reflexively, and distanced herself from him.
Two suspicious blush appeared on her handsome face, and she hung her head slightly, her eyes dodging to look at him.
Turning her head and glancing at the box on the table, she took it and hugged it in her arms, and said busily: "It's not early, I should go back to the palace, Uncle Huang said goodbye." ”
After speaking, without waiting for Shen Yiqing to speak, she turned around and ran away from the hall.
Looking at her hurried escape, Shen Yiqing couldn't help but want to laugh a little, but more of a secret chagrin.
He couldn't control his emotions just now, and he wanted to kiss the prince, but in fact he did it.
At the moment when the prince dodged him, he felt loss and regret in his heart, as well as secretly rejoicing.
If the prince didn't dodge, he really didn't know how to explain his impulsive behavior to the prince.
Standing in the hall with his hands behind his back, he looked out of the hall with a solemn face, even though there was no longer Shen Changge's figure there.
He had obviously warned himself that he could no longer have any transgressive behavior towards the prince, but he always couldn't control his emotions and couldn't suppress his feelings for the prince.
His heart was very melancholy and tangled.
And the same entanglement, as well as Shen Changge.
After leaving the palace in a hurry, she took the carriage back to the palace.
On the way back to the palace, she always felt that her heart was beating wildly, and her thoughts were also extremely chaotic, and the scene where Shen Yiqing tried to kiss her just now always appeared in her mind.
If she hadn't dodged just now......
She didn't dare to continue thinking about it, she was afraid that she would not be able to restrain her emotions.
I was even more afraid that I would go back to the palace impulsively, and desperately tell Shen Yiqing what I had hidden in my heart.
But she knew that she must not do this, and she must not bring any trouble and trouble to the imperial uncle.
