Chapter 170: Only, Interests Are Eternal
As a result, the imminent fight in the flower hall of Xuanwangfu was successfully resolved under the singing and harmony of Wan Yanping and Shen Qianmo.
Of course, Shen Qianmo was like a mirror in her heart, a treacherous person like Wan Yan Ping, this time she would come to Xuan Wang's Mansion to help her get the Fire Lotus from Wan Yan Lu, naturally it would not be because he was happy to help others and do a good deed every day, but he would have a plan.
According to Shen Qianmo's speculation, what Wan Yanping wanted was nothing more than two things, one was to block Wan Yan Lu and embarrass him in public, and the other was to show favor to Xuan Wangfu and show his attitude.
This shows that Wan Yanping has never given up in the matter of fighting for power and position with Wan Yan Law, and will continue to fight.
And obviously, he hopes to be able to get the support of the Xuan Palace, or should it be said to be cooperation.
"That's why Mo'er said that there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in this world, only eternal interests." Meng Yuanheng was lying on his back on a soft couch by the bedroom window, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "Wan Yanping is a good calculation, he actually wants to cooperate with this king, and he is not afraid of being bitten by this king." β
"Will you?" Shen Qianmo sat on a round stool next to him on the soft couch, gently wiping Meng Yuanheng's chin with a white towel, and raised her eyebrows and asked.
Meng Yuanheng just snorted noncommittally, "This king will only make the two of them fight harder." β
Shen Qianmo smiled. Indeed, the Northwest is now in ruins and needs time to recuperate. The more intense the internal fighting among the surrounding countries, the more relaxed the situation in the northwest will naturally be.
Perhaps, it is time to reveal the incident that Yan Mo found out a few days ago to the person who has been kept in the dark.
In this matter, Meng Yuanheng has been a scapegoat for seven years. Although this guy doesn't care very much, but... It should be regarded as a reward for Wan Yan Ping helping her get the Fire Lotus.
This time, she was able to successfully get the Fire Lotus from Wan Yan Lu's hands, Wan Yan Ping contributed a lot, and she Shen Qianmo was also a person who knew how to repay her kindness.
"By the way, how is Yunzhou's defense?" Shen Qianmo finished wiping, put down the towel, and asked Meng Yuanheng.
"Indestructible." It's just four words, but it reveals incomparable confidence.
Shen Qianmo smiled slightly. Since he said so, that's no problem.
Turning around and grabbing a small dagger with a cold light from a few cases around her, she gestured very skillfully on the chin of Meng Yuanheng, who was lying on her back, and said, "Okay, don't talk for the time being, be careful that I scratch you." β
Meng Yuanheng stretched out his arm, just hugging Shen Qianmo's waist. After a satisfied sigh, he smiled lightly: "Even if I am scratched by Mo'er, I am very happy." β
During the more than ten days he patrolled the city in Yunzhou, God knows how much he missed her.
Shen Qianmo glanced at him, "Tomorrow you will set off to Yanzhou for inspection, if you have a scar on your chin, it will damage your image of Lord Xuan's wisdom and martial arts." β
Speaking of this, Meng Yuanheng's originally happy mood instantly became depressed.
staring gloomily at Shen Qianmo's already visibly bulging lower abdomen, his eyes were full of disgust. It's all this restless little thing, and Mo'er can't go with him to inspect all parts of the northwest, it's really ...... The more I look at him, the more I find it an eyesore!
Shen Qianmo saw his obviously unhappy expression, how could she not understand his thoughts. Rolling his eyes helplessly, he said in his heart that this guy is really getting more and more naΓ―ve.
Although she also wants to go with him to patrol the city, but with her current physical condition, it is not allowed at all, but at the beginning of the northwest, both the military and the people need to be appeased, and the matter of patrolling the city naturally cannot be delayed, and she can't wait until she gives birth to a child and finishes her confinement before going, it will take several months.
So during this time, the two of them can only get together less and leave more.
"Okay, Ah Heng, you don't always dislike the baby, although he is still in the womb, but you are always like this, he will feel it, you know?" Shen Qianmo pinched his thin cheeks heavily and said with disgust.
Meng Yuanheng pursed his lips in displeasure, took Shen Qianmo's hand holding his face, and glared at her stomach dissatisfiedly.
Mo'er actually pinched him so ruthlessly for this little thing. Hmph, I'll settle this account with you when you are born!
As a result, the little son of Xuanwangfu lay down before he was born, and was deeply hostile to his father.
Shen Qianmo didn't bother to appease this naΓ―ve man anymore, and she was used to him playing a little bit in front of her from time to time. Glaring at him and telling him to settle down, the knife in her hand "brushed" soundly, and she began to shave the blue-black stubble off his chin with a gentle but crisp movement.
"You haven't shaved in a few days, why does this stubble grow like this!" Shen Qianmo asked puzzled while shaving.
Meng Yuanheng closed his eyes, enjoying Shen Qianmo's careful and gentle service, and Jun's face also returned to a relaxed and comfortable look. When Shen Qianmo stopped wiping the knife for him, he said lazily: "I haven't shaved since I came out of Yunzhou after the inspection." β
It's been at least three days, so it's no wonder that this stubble is half a centimeter long. Meng Yuanheng, how non-stop you are, like an arrow! Shen Qianmo secretly scolded herself.
Shaved and shaved, but she suddenly thought of a very realistic question, and asked out loud: "Lord Wang, do the men here start to grow beards after marriage?" β
She seemed to remember that Dasheng had an unwritten custom that men would no longer shave after they got married, but would grow their beards and let them grow, at most trimming the shape of their beards, but not all of them.
"That's true of Dasheng's customs." Meng Yuanheng could hear the nervousness in Shen Qianmo's words. He curled his lips and chuckled in response.
The corners of Shen Qianmo's mouth twitched slightly, and she almost couldn't help wailing in her heart. She really couldn't imagine what Meng Yuanheng would look like if she had a long beard. Just imagining it, she found it a little difficult to accept.
Although he has a beautiful beard that is said to be four feet long like Guan Erye in the Three Kingdoms, he is very fairy and elegant, and he is recognized as a beautiful man, but she still prefers Meng Yuanheng, who has no beard.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but speed up the shaving action on her hands, and at the same time secretly made a decision in her heart that in the next ten or twenty years, she must devote herself to the task of shaving Meng Yuanheng to the end.
At least not until he was forty years old. As for what happens after the age of forty...... We'll talk about it then!
How could Meng Yuanheng not know what Shen Qianmo was thinking, feeling that the movements of Shen Qianmo's hands were becoming more and more gentle and careful, the curvature of the corners of his mouth gradually widened, and if the closed eyes were open at this time, they would definitely be full of pride and pampering.
It seems that there is no need to worry about Mo'er not wanting to shave for herself in the future.
What he just said was that Dasheng's customs were indeed the case, but now that he had the final say in the northwest, it was not a question of whether to shave or not. But he shouldn't be deceiving Mo'er when he says that, right?!
Two days later, Princess Nanchen Yongle took the lead in submitting a farewell document to Mocheng Taishou Qiao Yuan, and the reason was naturally because it was necessary to transport the body of the horse back to China for burial as soon as possible.
Of course, Shen Qianmo also understood in her heart that another reason why Princess Yongle did not say it was obviously more important. During the days when she was in the northwest, the dispute between the crown princes in Nanchen has become more and more intense, and if she doesn't go back, I'm afraid that the crown prince position will not have her share.
After all, Siqi is just a girl who has never seen much of the world, and it didn't take much effort for Princess Yongle to ask from her about the mastermind behind her poisoning and assassinating the horse.
That person turned out to be her half-brother, the king of the Southern Xuanhai Sea.
Hearing this news, Shen Qianmo was also a little surprised. It is rumored that this King of Xuanhai always plays games in the world on weekdays, spends all his time drinking, and is a standard playboy, compared to fighting for power, it is obvious that he is more interested in women. It turns out that all this is a disguise?
Sure enough, none of the royal people can be trusted, and everyone must live with a mask.
This time, it can be said that it is completely dependent on Shen Qianmo, and Princess Yongle can find out about King Xuanhai's conspiracy, so Princess Yongle specially went to King Xuan's Mansion to thank Shen Qianmo and resign before leaving.
"The princess is not welcome, the matter of the horse...... Please also ask the princess to mourn the change. In the flower hall of the palace, Shen Qianmo was still indifferent, gentle and calm, showing a generous and decent demeanor in the face of Princess Yongle's heavy gifts.
Princess Yongle is also a hearty and informal person, and after knowing Shen Qianmo these days, she feels that the temperament of the princess Xuan in front of her is quite her appetite, and she can't help but want to have a deep friendship with her. At the moment, he also smiled freely and said: "People can't be resurrected after death, but ...... The murderer who killed the horse, this palace will not spare it! β
This is a family affair of the Nanchen royal family, Shen Qianmo naturally doesn't say much, but seeing that Princess Yongle said this, she was full of murder, her eyes were firm and resolute, obviously this princess is not an idle person, she returned to China this time, and the Nanchen royal family will definitely have some turmoil.
In this way, Meng Tianjue's intention to form an alliance with Nan Chen is afraid that it will end up without a problem.
