Chapter 379: Three Choices

To Hua Xuanfei's surprise, Her Royal Highness did not mean to be angry with her, and glared at the son who was holding her daughter viciously, then calmed down, turned around and smiled gently at her, "Sit here and dine together." ”

Su Yayan's change in attitude made Hua Xuanfei extremely uncomfortable, and even a little frightened, and waved her hand again and again with a pale face, "No, no!" It is good for the slave and maid to stand. ”

"Mrs. Qin, your husband Qin Feng sacrificed his life for the empire, so you don't need to lower your body so much, sit down, the empire owes you something if you are in such a situation."

Hua Xuanfei suddenly heard the news of her husband, and was also stunned for a while, after feeling the attitude of this highness towards the deceased husband, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she sat on Shi Chen's side unnaturally, and looked at Su Yayan with some stupidity and asked, "Feng didn't die in defeat and escape, right?" ”

Su Ye Yayan glanced at Shi Chen, who had also become silent and serious beside him, a little unnaturally, and said: "He is the first soldier, he died in battle, and he was fighting to the death with the enemy at the last moment before and after his death, he is a hero of the empire and a martyr worthy of respect." ”

After hearing this, Hua Xuanfei's composure, which she had been trying her best to maintain, finally collapsed, hugged the ignorant Xiao Wu beside her and cried, whimpering: "Xiao Wu, did you hear it? Daddy is not a deserter! Dad was a hero until he died."

Since Qin Feng's death, the rumors in the imperial capital have caused the young mother to be harassed by gossip, and even the neighbors who were kind and even a little stammered in the past have looked at them differently, saying that they deserve to fall into this situation, and atone for the defeat and death of the officers and soldiers on the front line.

At this moment, he was wronged, and naturally cried with joy.

Because Qin Feng has been fighting abroad all the year round, Xiao Wu has not seen that father a few times since he was born, and when Qin Feng died, he was only more than two years old, so he was not impressed by that father. But at this moment, I was infected by my mother's grief, and I also cried, and patted my mother's back with a little ghost, and gently comforted: "Dad is a hero, Mom don't cry, okay." ”

Looking at the mother and daughter who were in grief, Su Yayan and Shi Chen both glanced at each other a little unnaturally, but they didn't disturb the catharsis of their emotions.

After a long while, the young mother calmed down her excitement, and perhaps her husband was wronged and regained some of her temperament. With tears in her eyes, she bowed to Su Yayan and said, "The people's daughter has lost her temper, which makes His Highness smile." ”

"Nothing." Su Yayan smiled, took a deep breath, and then asked, "How do you plan to live next, this palace will try to meet your requirements." ”

Hua Xuanfei's eyes dimmed when she heard this, she was not a stupid person, and she had also heard a little about Her Royal Highness King Jinglian, who was the former commander of the Battle of Suyue, and was released to the empire only a few months after the war. And that time. Qin Feng's crime has already been decided, so if you want to really get Zhao Xue's treatment, I'm afraid it's not so easy, it is related to the interests and reputation of too many people. It will even threaten the reputation and interests of Her Royal Highness in front of you.

From this sentence, you can hear the princess's appeasement, but Hua Xuanfei is not a woman who has to make inches, and she knows that even if she is lucky to invite the heavens, she has received a large amount of pension. Returning to their old lives, under the protection of losing their husbands, their mother and daughter are like two little white sheep in the wolf pack. If you let others exploit you, sooner or later you will be swallowed, and there will be no scum left.

Her cousin's family are all mean and unkind people, and they have beaten their mother and daughter several times, and they are not a good place to parasitize.

Thinking of these, she tried her best to squeeze out a smile, stroked Xiao Wu's hair and said softly: "The folk girl only hopes to have a place to stay, and she can raise Xiao Wu, so she is already very satisfied." ”

"From this point of view, you already have some understanding of your current situation, because Qin Feng's case is very tricky, so there are many people looking at you now, even staring at the palace, so if you want to completely overturn the case for General Qin Feng, it is not so simple, and it cannot be completed in a short time."

Su Yayan was very satisfied with this woman's intelligence and self-knowledge, put down the exquisite ivory chopsticks in her hand, looked at the other party solemnly and said: "It's better like this, this palace sees that none of your orphans and widows are going out, so you take Xiao Wu to live in Jinglian Mansion, and enter and leave the mansion as Shi Gongzi's personal maid on weekdays, and it is enough to take care of his most basic living life on weekdays, and the pension owed by the military department, this palace will pay you in the name of a private person in advance, but if you get this money, I am afraid you can't be too publicant in the short term. That's the way to get evil. ”

Hua Xuanfei raised her eyes and secretly glanced at Shi Chen, who was also a little dumbfounded, bit her lower lip, which was not much bloody, and said in a low voice: "But with His Highness's arrangement, the people are grateful." ”

"This arrangement, isn't it right? And I don't need someone to serve? "Shi Chen on the side was a little uneasy, although he didn't feel any guilt for killing Qin Feng, but if he let his widow serve his 'enemy', he would be a little unacceptable.

Suyaya glanced at him, "What do you want?" Do you really plan to use Xuan Fei as a maid? It's just to use your identity to cover up my true intentions, and you don't have anything to think about. ”

She didn't deliberately mock in her tone, she took a piece of tender shrimp meat into her lips with exquisite ivory chopsticks, chewed it slowly, and then threatened: "If I find out that you have any bad behavior one day, don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”

Shi Chen suddenly hit the heavens, "Am I that kind of person?" ”

"You men are all lower-body thinking animals, don't think you can go anywhere."

As soon as Su Yayan finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that this guy was not a good stubble, and he was worried that the other party would use some shameless means against him, and when he saw that the other party's face became ugly, he quickly changed the topic and said: "This little steak is good, you try it." ”

"Count you as acquaintances!" Shi Chen's face darkened, picked up the delicate white porcelain small salt pot, and gently sprinkled the crystal grains on the steak.

Seeing the two of them 'flirting', Hua Xuanfei on the side breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that it was not just the son, she herself almost misunderstood the meaning of His Royal Highness.

In the Empire, the purpose of a valet is to meet all the needs of the master, even those needs.

Although Shi Gongzi was a 'good person', he still instinctively resisted something, and if there was no such obligation, it would be even better.

Su Yayan suddenly remembered something, thought about it for a while, and asked, "I want to attend the Nanshan Alliance next week, and you will travel with me at that time?" ”

"Am I the right person?" Shi Chen lowered his eyes and pointed at himself with some embarrassment.

Although he has never regarded himself as a so-called male favorite, in the current cognition of the empire, his identity is like this, whether he wants it or not, he has been labeled as 'the face of King Jinglian'.

What an important and formal occasion for the Nanshan Alliance, a dignified princess brought her face over, isn't it uncomfortable?

Hearing this question, Su Yayan's face was also a little unpleasant, and she said hatefully: "My reputation has already been ruined by you, and I have been so 'public' in the past two days, if I give up halfway, won't it arouse suspicion." ”

There was silence at the table, except for the gentle touch of a silver knife and a porcelain plate, and the sound of ivory chopsticks picking up juicy and tender beef tenderloin and then touching the tongue and teeth.

Shi Chen also understood what the other party meant, some things, since they have been done, then only by continuing to do them will people's suspicions be reduced to the minimum, and sometimes, there is no turning back when the bow is opened.

He didn't care about the gossip and disdain, he needed to think about more things.

After all, staying in Jinglian Palace, it was a coincidence that he was forced to move, although he liked this delicate and charming princess, but he couldn't allow himself to continue to indulge in this gentle country, he had to come up with a way to get out.

And there is no doubt that the day of the Nanshan Alliance is an excellent time, when Su Yayan is not in the palace, without her 'surveillance' and obstruction, it will naturally be much easier. And the other party obviously also considered this possibility, so he wanted to tie himself to his side at all times to prevent himself from slipping away.

What to do?

Su Yayan was also waiting for Shi Chen to make a decision and give an answer.

Shi Chen's statement on this matter is very important to her.

Shi Chen knew that no matter what answer he gave, he would not change that result, he was now like a male spider glued to a web full of honey, and there was a black widow who was full of 'love' for him beside him.

If you are willing to immerse yourself in this gentle country, you can embrace the beauty and live a life of drunkenness and dreams, but if you are not willing to fall forever, always look at the distant scenery and skylight, and long to drive your original intention and return to your hometown, then with the habits of a black widow, you don't mind choosing to eat the child's father after mating with her offspring.

This is a choice at a fork in the road of life, a choice about ideas and beliefs, a choice between freedom and love.

However, at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and it was the arrival of an additional meal.

I saw a waitress with a slightly drooping head, pushing a cart of whole sheep that was being charcoal-roasted, walked in, bowed slightly to the two, picked up the silver knife, began to divide the mutton, and then served the roasted golden tender meat to everyone.

Suya Yayan was waiting for Shi Chen's answer.

Shi Chen was thinking about how to answer, squinted his eyes and looked up in an irritable mood, just in front of him, he saw the maid who was serving meat to the princess not far in front of him, and the pair of black eyebrows that were originally frowning helplessly suddenly provoked like knives.

Because where the afterglow fell, he saw a familiar curve, and looked along the proud curve, but saw a pretty face that was very similar to someone but drooped his head.

The pupils of his eyes shrank suddenly, and the brightness suddenly came, and he squinted and reminded: "Let's try the freshly baked lamb chops first." ”

"Huh?" Su Yayan was very dissatisfied with not getting the expected answer, but she instinctively looked towards the maid, and what she saw was a sudden flash of fierce sword light!
