The eldest lady couldn't sit still, "I'll go and see how it goes." ”

Shen Xingwan and Shen Qingran sat opposite each other.

Shen Qingran's whole person was in a trance, and she couldn't imagine what the fourth prince was here to do.

About half an hour later, the maid ring next to the eldest lady came over and said, "The lady said to ask the girl to dress up and go to the front hall, and the fourth prince will come to see the girl in a while." ”

Shen Qingran hummed but didn't move.

Shen Xingwan gave Yahuan a look and helped her up, "Fifth sister, let's comb it first." ”

Because he was recuperating at home, Shen Qingran's hair was simply draped, and his clothes were very plain.

Yahuan combed Shen Qingran's hair and makeup neatly, and Shen Xingwan personally picked out a set of beautiful and warm clothes for her.

When everything was cleaned up, Shen Qingran's whole person still looked in a trance.

Shen Xingwan was not at ease, and sent her to the front hall in front of the guests before leaving.

met the oncoming four princes in the corridor, Shen Xing saluted in the evening, "I've seen the four princes." ”

"Girls don't have to be polite."

The two politely passed by, without saying a word.

What Shen Xingwan didn't know was that after taking a few steps, the fourth prince turned to look back at her until her figure disappeared around the corner.

By the time the fourth prince walked into the room, Shen Qingran's whole person had barely calmed down.

Shen Qingran saluted him elegantly.

The maids pushed the door and stood far away, and the door of the room was wide open.

This not only gives the two of them space to talk, but it is not rude.

Shen Qingran poured a cup of hot tea for the four princes with his own hands, "It's snowing and the weather is cold, the four princes drink a cup of tea to warm up." ”

The fourth prince took a sip and took the initiative to speak, "Have you heard about the gossip girls outside?" ”

Shen Qingran said with a pale face, "Got it." ”

The two were silent for a moment, they didn't know each other well.

It was Shen Qingran who took the initiative to start his mouth, "The courtiers thank Your Highness for saving me that night, and as for the rumors, they will clear themselves." ”

Shen Qingran was polite and polite, indifferent and tenacious from beginning to end, and Lu Yu didn't know how to speak for a while.

After a long time, he said, "I haven't chosen a concubine yet, if the girl is willing, I will welcome her with the gift of a concubine." ”

At this moment, Shen Qingran's fingers couldn't help but tremble, what she had never dreamed of had come true.

As long as she nods, she can go on with her beloved for the rest of her life.

But at the moment when she met Lu Yu's eyes, she calmed down.

When Lu Yu said this, his eyes did not fluctuate, and he was still slightly cold.

Shen Qingran suddenly sobered up, what she loved was his humble demeanor.

What he did today is considered responsible, which shows that she did not love the wrong person.

But she can't follow up so greedily.

Shen Qingran asked, "Does Your Highness have someone you like?" ”

The four princes were silent.

Shen Qingran's heart ached, and he smiled miserably, "The events of that night have nothing to do with Your Highness, Your Highness doesn't have to gamble on your lifelong happiness because of those rumors." ”

Lu Yu lowered his eyes and explained, "It's just that I have some good feelings, not to the extent that she has to be, if the fifth lady is willing to marry, I will treat her as a concubine." ”

Lu Yu had his own considerations, and the competition between several princes became more and more intense, and he was neither willing to fight nor to be dragged into the water.

Shen Qingran's status is a little lower, but it is just right for him.

took advantage of this turmoil and openly begged the emperor for marriage.

The concubine is the concubine and is directly out. In this battle for the throne, no one will have their eyes on him.

After marriage, go directly to the fiefdom and live a life away from strife.

The most important point is that he himself is not disgusted with Shen Qingran.

Although she is not familiar with her, Shen Qingran was once one of the four talented women of Mingde College, the best women's college in Shengjing, with her outstanding talent. Lu Yu knew some things about her.

Shen Qingran smiled, relieved and sad when he smiled, "No, thank you for your kindness, the courtiers are not only asking for Qin Se and Ming to raise their eyebrows in this life." ”

Lu Yu didn't expect her to refuse so decisively, looking at her light look, his heart moved, "I can do all this." ”

"But love can't be given, right?" Shen Qingran asked rhetorically.

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, "Is love important?" ”

One of them is older than the royal family, and the other is older than the Gaomen clan. Love is never the most important thing to them.

Shen Qingran showed a look that Lu Yu couldn't understand, "It's not important..."

But your words matter.

People are greedy, and she likes him so much, if she gets married. Will she really be able to put up with him not loving her or loving someone else?

Shen Qingran never overestimated herself, nor did she want to become a resentful woman.

And the most important point, she keenly felt that the Shen family's current situation may not want to be a princess in the family and have something to do with the royal family.

But the old lady still asked the fourth prince to come to see her and talk to her.

That's what it means to respect her and put the choice in her hands.

She has a good family, sisters and brothers, and the love of her youth is not necessarily so important.

Shen Qingran said, "My affairs have been arranged at home, and I am willing to accept it." Today's matter, thank you Your Highness for falling in love, I don't have this blessing. ”

Having said all this, Lu Yu is naturally not reluctant.

got up and said goodbye, "It seems that I have no fate with the girl." ”

Shen Qingran stood up and saw him off in front of the door, and said sincerely, "I wish Your Highness to meet a good person and grow old with your son." ”

Lu Yu looked at the girl in front of her who seemed to be shining with water, and her heart was inexplicably soft, "I also hope that the girl will find her heart as soon as possible." ”

Shen Qingran watched Lu Yu holding an umbrella, walking away step by step in the snowstorm and walking out of her world.

This is the final end of her girlhood love.

After today, she will forget him, and she will let go of this unspoken love.

In the future, she will meet people with eyes full of her.

The eldest girl next to her came over to support Shen Qingran, and asked distressedly, "Miss, why don't you agree, don't you regret this?" ”

Regrets?

Of course it's a pity.

The person she dreamed of was once so close to her today, so at her fingertips.

Sometimes, however, some things may be regrettable for the best outcome.

The old lady quickly knew the result, "That's fine, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse if I really get married." ”

Otherwise, when something happens, Shen Qingran will be sandwiched between her mother's family and the royal family at that time, and she will only be the one who will suffer.

Mama said, "Fifth Miss has always been very clear. ”

"That's what makes it so distressing." The old lady said.

That night, Shen Qingran's already stable condition suddenly deteriorated, and the whole person began to have a fever, and began to cry silently in his sleep.

Shen Xingwan and the eldest lady were alarmed and went to see her in the middle of the night.

Cicada Yi said that it was because he was depressed in his heart and his mind was stimulated.

Shen Xingwan remembered her abnormality today, and had a guess in her heart.

Finally sighed and said nothing.

Some things take time to let go.
