"Miss Shen?" the prince was stunned for a moment, and then lost his voice: "Shen Miao?"

Fu Xiuyi looked at him but smiled silently. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"No, I can't. The prince shook his head and said: "Miss Shen is the pearl of General Shen's palm, and she has not yet decided on a marriage, I am afraid that she regards her daughter's lifelong events as very important, how can she be willing to marry into the East Palace?" ”

Fu Xiuyi smiled and shook her head: "Where does she like me, it was just a joke at a young age, otherwise you can see that over the years, how can I have half a bit of affection, but I am not as cold as outsiders." ”

The prince thought about it carefully, it was true, in the past two years, it seems that when Shen Miao saw Fu Xiuyi again, he was not as hot as he was at the beginning, and he was as cold as the two of them, and they were still very puzzled. Having said that, the prince still said: "Maybe it's because you treat others with kindness that Miss Shen annoys you." ”

"Big brother still don't want to make fun of me. Fu Xiuyi said with a smile: "Besides, the Shen family is not an in-law family that I can climb, but I am willing to find a wife who is not so prominent, but I am at ease." Having said that," Fu Xiuyi said seriously: "Why does the eldest brother have to start from General Shen and Miss Shen? ”

"Father?"

"Not bad. Fu Xiuyi saw that the wine glass in front of the prince was empty, so he filled the prince's wine glass, and then said unhurriedly: "My father's favorite thing is you, eldest brother, since my father has the heart to support his eldest brother, he will inevitably find a help for his eldest brother." If the eldest brother wants to marry Miss Shen, his father will definitely be happy to see it. In this way, with just a decree of marriage, everything is solved. ”

"The ninth brother is thinking too simply. The prince shook his head: "The twisted melon is not sweet, you must know that if Miss Shen does not want to marry me, although she has to enter the door of the East Palace because of the holy decree, she will always be resentful in the future." General Shen will also have a grudge against his father, and if the family relationship can't be formed, it will become an enemy, which will be bad. ”

"Why does the eldest brother think like this?" Fu Xiuyi looked at him in surprise: "All women in the world want is a rich and stable future. Marrying into the East Palace, although she can't be a concubine, the status of the prince's side concubine is really not low. In the future, when the eldest brother ascended the throne, Miss Shen naturally became a concubine. Big brother, you have a gentle temperament, as long as you treat Miss Shen family well, and see people's hearts in the future, how can she be resentful of her eldest brother? Just like a sister-in-law, when she married her eldest brother, she was also married by her father, but until now, she has not planned for her eldest brother wholeheartedly. ”

When the prince heard this, he felt that Fu Xiuyi's words made some sense. The crown princess was also married by the emperor's holy decree, and they had never seen each other a few times before, and they were reluctant at first, but now, they have a deep love for the prince and think about the prince everywhere.

"Women are like this, marrying a chicken and marrying a dog are like a dog, as long as they treat her better, they will follow their husband with all their hearts. The eldest brother is a dragon and phoenix among people, how can he not subdue a woman?"

The prince was a little embarrassed by Fu Xiuyi's words, and waved his hand again and again. The two brothers were heart-to-heart, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and they were very happy.

It's just that in the middle of the night, after Fu Xiuyi left the East Palace, the drunkenness on the prince's face was swept away, and he was replaced by a little soberness.

The staff walked out from behind, looked at the prince tentatively and asked, "Your Highness, the words of His Royal Highness Fang Cai Jiu ......?"

"The ninth brother wants to steal peaches for plums. The prince smiled, picked up a glass of wine and drank a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "I have a bit of courage and courage, but now my father is suspicious of him, and he dares to come to my East Palace to show his affection." Looking at it this way, it was really our brother who underestimated him at the beginning. ”

"Then the proposal of the Ninth Highness to let His Highness and the Shen family get married, what does His Highness think?" asked the staff.

The prince put down the wine glass in his hand, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes: "Although his heart is not right, but his strategy can make it, I really need the strength of the Shen family." Shen Miao is a good chess piece, and it doesn't hurt to marry back. He smiled again: "Since the birth is good, it's not a big deal to coax it." ”

The staff nodded: "Your Highness, has you decided to agree?"

The crown prince looked at the wine jug on the table: "In a few days, the palace will personally mention this matter to my father." After the matter is completed, I will also remember the love of the ninth brother. ”

It was exactly what Fu Xiuyi expected, and within a few days, the prince really mentioned this matter to Emperor Wen Hui, and Emperor Wen Hui did not agree immediately, but he did not refuse, but looked at the prince meaningfully, and finally smiled: "Yes, I have not made any progress when you have not made any progress, and you are finally the governor." And he said, "I'll think about it." ”

After the prince left, Emperor Wen Hui said to Duke Su beside him: "The prince actually wants to marry Shen Miao, but I didn't expect it." ”

Father-in-law Su said with a smile: "Miss Shen is talented and good-looking, and the prince has excellent vision." ”

"Come on. Emperor Wen Hui said disdainfully: "I'm not brainless. It's just that Lao Jiu pointed out a clear path to the prince this time, what does this mean?" In his words, he knew that the marriage with the Shen family was Fu Xiuyi's idea.

Gonggong Su cautiously did not speak. These royal housework is a dead word, and he is a slave who will never dare to get involved.

"But it just so happens that I originally wanted to support the crown prince, but King Zhou and King Li are less and less interested in me, and Lao Jiu I can't understand it. With the Shen family behind him, the prince can not only balance King Zhou Liwang, but also control the Shen family's military power in his hands. It saves me a lot of effort. It's just ......" Emperor Wen Hui looked at the scroll on the table and smiled, closed the fold, and stood up: "Swing, Kunning Palace." ”

......

When Luo Xueyan received a message from someone in the palace asking her to take Shen Miao into the palace tomorrow, she was very ignorant. I thought there was something wrong with Shen Xin, and when I asked Shen Xinlai, Shen Xin was also confused. When it comes to royalty, the husband and wife are always very cautious. However, he was cautious in his heart, but he never dared to show it to Shen Miao, for fear of making Shen Miao afraid in his heart.

Although Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan tried their best to say it easily, Shen Miao's heart couldn't be relaxed. The Fu family will not let Luo Xueyan take her into the palace for no reason. But I don't have a clue what happened this time. Pei Lang hasn't written to her for a long time, and if she does, she can probably figure out Fu Xiuyi's next move...... Shen Miao's heart suddenly moved, yes, why didn't Pei Lang write to her for so long?

In the past, even if there was no major event, Pei Lang would keep a letter with her, but it had been a long time, and a conjecture faintly floated in Shen Miao's heart, could it be ...... Pei Lang can't write letters to her, has Fu Xiuyi discovered something?

I felt more and more confused in my heart, since I met the inexplicable mad Taoist priest in Putuo Temple, it was difficult for Shen Miao's heart to calm down. She wanted to know who the noble man with the fate of "Fierce Dragon Futian" was, and she also wanted to know who was the person who gave her the opportunity to start again in her previous life, but she didn't have a clue when she thought about it, but it just made her mood more impetuous.

Shen Miao involuntarily looked up at the window, the door of the window was closed, Xie Jingxing once said that he would be able to reach without opening the window in the future, but Xie Jingxing did not appear in the past few days. Shen Miao walked to the window with her coat on, opened the window, and it was the night breeze outside, so Shen Miao tightened her clothes.

In front of him, a figure suddenly flashed, Congyang stood up from under the wall, looked at Shen Miao and asked, "Miss is looking for the master?"

Shen Miao was taken aback, stroked her chest a little annoyed, and said angrily: "No." ”

Congyang didn't seem to hear Shen Miao's words, and continued to speak seriously: "The master is not in Dingjing recently, and the young lady doesn't have to wait for him here." ”

"I didn't wait for him. Shen Miao emphasized: "I'm just breathable. ”

Congyang didn't speak, Shen Miao thought of something, and asked again: "Congyang, if I enter the palace, can you go in together?"

When Congyang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he was a little surprised: "My subordinates are not from the palace, and I am not familiar with the terrain in the palace, so I followed the young lady in, there is no place to hide, and I am not sure that I will not be discovered." ”

Shen Miao lowered her eyes, since Congyang was not sure that he would not be discovered, it was better to forget it. After thinking about it again, no matter what tricks the royal family plays, they will not openly do it in the palace, after all, there is still Luo Xueyan here. Thinking of this, he was relieved and said, "It's okay." ”

"If the young lady has anything to say, she can tell her subordinates, and the subordinates will bring it to the master when they send the letter. Congyang glanced at Shen Miao and said to himself.

Shen Miao closed the window with a "snap", what kind of subordinates have what kind of masters, and they don't listen to people at all!

On the other side, in the Rui Wang's Mansion, Gao Yang and Ji Yushu were studying a map, which was densely marked with many places, and if you looked closely, you could see it clearly, but it was a military defense map.

The guards outside came to report: "Lord Gao, Young Master Ji, Miss Shen will enter the palace tomorrow, do you want to bring it into the letter for His Royal Highness?"

"Enter the palace?" Ji Yushu asked, "Is there something wrong?"

The guard shook his head.

Ji Yushu sighed: "I've been busy making this picture for the past few days, and I haven't helped the third brother take a good look at Miss Shen, the third brother will be bad when he comes back, and if you don't know, you and I will be unlucky." Hey," he touched Gao Yang: "You have someone in the palace, is there anything going on lately?"

"Nothing. Gao Yang thought for a moment, and then said: "If you don't bring it into the letter first, he is busy with business, and it is not good to be distracted." Since there is no news from Congyang, it shouldn't be serious, if something really happens, we just block it. ”

The guard took the order and left.

Ji Yushu looked at Gao Yang: "Why do I think your approach is not very appropriate?"

"There's something wrong. Gao Yang said impatiently: "Look at the picture!"

Ji Yushu muttered: "Anyway, if something happened, the third brother asked why he didn't report it in time, and I said that you let ......."

......

On the second day, Shen Miao followed Luo Xueyan into the palace.

Every time you enter the palace, something always happens. Luo Xueyan was a little vigilant, but Shen Miao was accustomed to it, because she had long known that the Tian family had bad intentions, but it made people less nervous.

The palace maid took them directly to Kunning Palace.

When I brought it to Kunning Palace, the first thing I saw was the queen sitting on the main seat. The concubine sitting next to the queen smiled kindly, dressed beautifully but plainly, and it was Concubine Dong Shu.

The queen and Concubine Dong Shu?Shen Miao's heart suddenly lifted.

The queen is the biological mother of the prince, and the relationship between Emperor Wenhui is a regular husband and wife, but the queen herself is about to come from a rich and noble family, and the journey has been smooth, to the point where she is now, she is bent on the prince's body, but she has no intention of fighting for power and profit in the harem. It's a bit bit to say that it's resolute, but in the end, I still haven't fought against the most unobtrusive-looking Concubine Dong Shu.

Concubine Dong Shu has always stayed out of the harem, just like Fu Xiuyi, watching other concubines fight and bleed, oh, naturally there is a little bit of it, among them, there is also a little bit of force that she unknowingly exerts, that is, that little bit of force, which often pushes things to the worst place. No one plays better than Concubine Dong Shu.

If Mrs. Lineze is blatant, arrogant and arrogant, Concubine Dong Shu is gentle and gentle, handing over a knife with a smile. So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hit it off at first sight, Concubine Dong Shu looked down on Shen Miao, but she admired Mrs. Lintel very much.

Shen Miao looked at the situation in front of her and knew that the queen was afraid that she would be used as a knife by Concubine Dong Shu again. After all, Dong Shufei is the kind of person who wants to give herself a lot of benefits no matter what she does.

The queen smiled and gave Luo Xueyan a seat, but beckoned to Shen Miao and motioned for Shen Miao to come forward.

Shen Miao stepped forward according to her words, and the queen looked her up and down carefully, smiled with satisfaction, and said to Concubine Dong Shu: "It's a neat person." ”

Luo Xueyan was a little restless, and she just wanted to grab Shen Miao and step out of the palace gate. It's just that there is too much helplessness as a courtier, she doesn't know what the queen has in mind, but mothers have a natural intuition, especially those who have intentions for their children.

"How old is this year?" asked the Queen.

"Back to the mother's words, the courtier sixteen. Shen Miao replied.

The queen smiled and held Shen Miao's hand and said with a smile: "When the palace was in the palace, I heard that this daughter of General Shen was both talented and beautiful. I saw it at the palace banquet before, and I thought it was extremely cute. Thinking of these few days of leisure, I asked Mrs. Shen to take Miss Shen into the palace to meet. She sighed: "I was born so smart and intelligent at sixteen, but I don't know whose young master has such a good fortune and can marry Miss Shen as his wife." ”

Luo Xueyan "chuckled" in her heart, and the hand hanging by her side suddenly clenched. Shen Miao's heart moved, but she understood the queen's purpose for calling them into the palace today.

Concubine Dong Shufei also laughed: "Isn't it? she was born beautiful and well-behaved, and she couldn't find a little arrogance in her body, and now such a girl is rare." ”

"I don't know Mrs. Shen, is Miss Shen married?" the queen asked with a smile.

Luo Xueyan was entangled in her heart, but she said quickly: "I'm not afraid of the mother's jokes, I've been looking at the relationship between the suitable young master and the little girl recently." "If this is the idea that the royal family played, then I am afraid that they will inquire about Shen Miao's current situation clearly. But he didn't dare to deceive, otherwise he would be fooling the royal family.

"That's right. The queen smiled even more: "How about the palace to be a matchmaker for Miss Shen?"

"No!" Luo Xueyan said without thinking about it. Seeing that the queen's face was not good, she explained: "The little girl is still young, and the courtiers are reluctant to marry her, and they want to keep her for a few more years." ”

The queen smiled again when she heard this, and said, "What Mrs. Shen said is not right, they all say that her daughter's family can't stay, and she will stay here and then and become an enemy." If you keep dragging your feet like this and not letting Miss Shen get married, Miss Shen is afraid that she will blame you in the future. Isn't it, Miss Shen?"

Shen Miao glanced at the queen and said with a smile: "The courtiers also want to be by their mother's side." "I didn't give the queen any face.

The queen's smile was not very refreshing, she stared at Shen Miao, she didn't know if Shen Miao had no brains so dared to be so arrogant, or deliberately came to slap her in the face. Thinking of such a woman as her daughter-in-law, the queen's heart was suddenly not very happy.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Concubine Dong Shu smiled and softened: "Mrs. Shen and Miss Shen have a deep mother-daughter relationship, and it is enviable to look at it. But ......" she changed her words: "The daughter's family always has to get married." It's not that after getting married, you can't have a deep mother-daughter relationship. ”

These words are here to play a round, but unfortunately, Luo Xueyan and Shen Miao did not answer Dong Shufei's words.

Concubine Dong Shufei was a little surprised in her heart, when Shen Miao was infatuated with Fu Xiuyi before, Concubine Dong Shufei thought that Shen Miao was a brainless straw bag girl, but when she looked at it later, she felt that it was not like that. I think Shen Miao is still a little smart in the end, and she can carry it clearly, who knows that when she looks at it today, she is worthy of being born by Luo Xueyan, the mother and daughter are as unruly and untamable, and they don't eat soft and hard.

The queen doesn't seem to be used to being so deliberately close to people, especially the other party's attitude is not very enthusiastic, but today she just wants to run in in advance, so that the Shen family can be prepared, what kind of attitude the Shen family has, in fact, the queen doesn't care at all. No matter how bold Shen Xin is, no matter how much he loves his daughter, it is impossible to resist the decree. The arms can't twist the thighs, and under the imperial power, anyone has to bow their heads.

So after chatting lukewarmly, he asked Luo Xueyan and Shen Miao to go back.

On the way back, Luo Xueyan didn't say a word and didn't say anything. Shen Miao was also thinking about her own business, and such a silent atmosphere frightened the two of them, and thought that something was wrong.

When they returned to the Shen Mansion, Shen Qiu and Luo Ling had just returned from the military department, so they asked the queen what was the reason for summoning them into the palace. Luo Xueyan was vague and coped, so she pulled Shen Xin back to the house.

As soon as she entered the house, Luo Xueyan told Shen Xin what the queen in the palace said to her today, and at the end, she asked: "I see that the queen means to marry Jiaojiao, what can I do?"

Shen Xin's face had already sunk, and he said, "Pointing to marriage? My daughter, why do you want to give them marriage? Jiaojiao is so big, we are supporting, why do others have the right to guide Jiaojiao's family affairs?"

"I guess the queen wants Jiaojiao to marry the crown prince. Luo Xueyan said: "Today, I have mentioned that the prince's health has improved, and I have mentioned it several times. This is not to be done. The prince already has a princess, Jiaojiao married in the past, at most she is just a side concubine, and the side concubine is just a concubine with a higher status, I don't want Jiaojiao to marry in the past and have to give tea to other women, and live a life with a snort. Besides, what if the prince has a high status and good character? With his body, I don't dare to hand over Jiaojiao to him. ”

"No matter which prince it is, Jiaojiao can't get married!" Shen Xin's breath of turbidity in his chest couldn't be relieved, so he simply slammed his fist on the table, and the cup shook a little.

"Are you afraid that Jiaojiao will marry in the past and involve our entire Shen family in the turmoil of seizing the heir?" Luo Xueyan said: "Yes, these days, these drunkards don't mean to drink, once they get involved with the royal family, the Shen family won't be able to run well in the future!"

"Not because of that. Shen Nobunaga sighed: "The royal children are so affectionate, there are groups of wives and concubines, and Jiaojiao will not be happy if she marries in." Even if the prince becomes the emperor in the future, what if he is well, there are seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards, and the rain and dew are all wet, I don't want to live that kind of life. Besides, as you said, they don't really want to marry Jiaojiao. My son-in-law, you don't need to be crowned the king and worship the prime minister, you don't need the brocade hat and mink Qiu, but he must treat Jiaojiao wholeheartedly, and if he can't do this, neither can the king of heaven!"

Shen Miao, who was eavesdropping outside the door, heard this sentence, and a warm current suddenly surged in her heart. In this world, there are always relatives who support her unconditionally, they are willing to offend the powerful, but they are not willing to let her suffer a little grievance.

I only heard Luo Xueyan say again: "Yes, since this is the case, Jiaojiao will never marry into the East Palace." It's just that when the decree comes, things will be bad, what should we do now?"

Shen Xin frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Before the holy decree comes down, hurry up and marry Jiaojiao." It's just that in such a short period of time, it is very difficult to even make a marriage. I don't know what the other party's character is. Anyway, tonight I will ask people to look for some young talents, if there are people with better character, as long as Jiaojiao is not disgusted, he will settle down first. Shen Xin said: "In short, you can't let Jiaojiao marry into the royal family!"

Shen Miao couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, and the voice in the room gradually became quieter, it should be discussing which young talent was reliable. Shen Miao straightened up, and was about to turn around and go back to his room, but when he turned his head, he saw Shen Qiu and Luo Ling standing behind him, both of them frowning, and they didn't know when they were standing here and how much they heard.

Shen Qiu pulled Shen Miao and walked out.

It wasn't until they walked to Shen Miao's courtyard that Shen Qiu and Luo Ling entered the house and asked the maids to go out, that they closed the door and said, "Sister, the queen wants to marry the crown prince for you?"

It seemed that he heard it, and Shen Miao didn't intend to hide it, so he nodded.

Shen Qiu slammed his fist on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "It's too much of a bully!"

Shen Miao smiled instead, she said: "How many people want to climb the high branches of the East Palace, why did they become bullies when they came to you." The eldest brother's vision is inevitably too high, so in this way, no one in the capital will be able to enter your eyes. ”

Shen Qiu said angrily: "Jiaojiao, why are you so big-hearted, I'm anxious for you, it's good for you, but you come to laugh at me." ”

Luo Ling looked at Shen Miao and asked gently, "What does my cousin think of this matter?"

Shen Miao shrugged her shoulders: "Do your best to know the destiny of heaven." ”

"Cousin doesn't object?" Luo Ling's tone was a little inexplicable.

"My father and mother have found a way out for me. Shen Miao didn't care much about what she said, as if it wasn't about her life's events at all. She said: "Find some young talents, I think it fits, so I hurried to the Shen Mansion under the holy decree to quickly settle down, that's it." She smiled again and said, "Don't worry, my vision is not as high as my eldest brother, and it shouldn't be difficult to find someone who fits my eyes." ”

Shen Qiu muttered: "I don't know which kid is cheaper......" Shen Miao just pretended not to hear.

Luo Ling took a step closer and asked, "If a suitable one is not found, or before that, the Holy Decree will come down, what about my cousin?"

Shen Qiu said: "Cousin, why do you say such unfortunate words?"

Luo Ling was still staring at Shen Miao tightly, as if he was obsessed with seeking an answer from Shen Miao.

Shen Miao smiled and said, "Then get married." ”

"Sister!" Shen Qiu shouted.

"Otherwise?" Shen Miao said: "Do you want the Shen family to bear the charge of resisting the decree and the whole family will be destroyed? Because I alone affect all my relatives? Just because I am willful and do not marry, my family will be unlucky with me." Big brother, is this what you want to see? Big brother, let me ask you, what would you do if you were me, or if you were the one the queen was going to marry? You would also say that you would not marry in death?"

Shen Qiu was silent.

If it were him, he would take this marriage for Shen Miao and his father. If he sacrificed one of himself in exchange for the peace of the entire mansion, Shen Qiu felt that there was nothing he couldn't do.

"Big brother will be like me. Shen Miao said lightly: "Not everyone in the world can do their own things as they want, everyone has a last resort." I will try my best to avoid this result, if I can't avoid it, then it's not a big deal, and if I get married, I will get married. Shen Miao looked at Shen Qiu: "A husband, a marriage, in my heart is far less important than relatives." ”

"But that's the happiness of your life. Shen Qiu's eyes were a little sour. He didn't know why his sister looked so cold when she talked about marriage and husband, and even a little disgusted. But he instinctively felt that Shen Miao was at the age of a girl, and he didn't have the expectations and dreams that a girl should have, that is, he didn't take good care of his sister.

"Happiness is earned by oneself, not by one person. Shen Miao said: "Is it possible that marrying a good man can guarantee the happiness of my life? Whether it is the crown prince or someone else, can anyone be sure that in the next few decades, he will not accept concubines and concubines? I don't believe it." ”

"Sister, you can't think like that. You are not married yet, you can't think of people as terrible, and you can't look at them like this...... Vicissitudes. "It's like a woman who has read a thousand sails.

Luo Ling looked at Shen Miao thoughtfully, moved his lips, but finally didn't say anything.

Shen Miao lowered her eyes, her husband, marriage, and her previous life in this life, she had planted a heel fiercely, for her, these are two words that carry pain. Don't fall twice in one place, there is no expectation, there will be no harm.

She smiled coldly: "It's not that I think too badly, it's that the eldest brother thinks too complicated." It's just to get married, women have to get married, marry well and live a peaceful life, even if they don't have a good time in the prince's mansion, I won't let the person who hurt me feel better. ”
