Chapter 18: The Prince

Regarding the accusations of the third prince, Xiao Jue obviously didn't take it to heart, he still looked casual, his faint gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped between Shen Qiaoshen and Xiao Li for a moment, then lowered his head, looked at the apricot blossom that appeared in his hand at some point, and played with himself.

Shen Qiaoshen didn't pay attention to Xiao Jue's slightly meaningful gaze just now, but stared at the pale red petals on his fingertips, and the fragrance of apricot blossoms on the tip of his nose seemed to be dissipating......

During the day, the person under the apricot blossom tree was really him.

Looking at the three princes who were becoming more and more angry and corrupt, but helpless, everyone couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, the little prince of Prince Yong's mansion was really as arrogant and domineering as the legend, and even the prince dared not to take it seriously.

Shen Qiaoshen and their location was already at the front of the main hall, and the princes and princesses of Emperor Chongming were sitting here. The noise that took place naturally attracted the attention of the others in the temple.

Emperor Chongming, who was soon talking to several princes of the royal family, also looked over at the signal of the imperial concubine.

Seeing the people with different expressions, Emperor Chongming frowned, and then someone from the palace immediately stepped forward to relay the ins and outs of what had just happened.

Shen Guifei sat on the side, and naturally listened along.

When he heard that Shen Qiaoshen was about to fall, his heart immediately lifted up. I thought there was something wrong with my niece's body.

However, the palace people around the six princesses vaguely mentioned that it seemed to be caused by being entangled by the six princesses and being unable to communicate for a while.

Looking at her daughter not far away, Shen Guifei felt angry and funny.

After listening to what had happened, Emperor Chongming asked the palace people to call the three princes and Xiao Jue and his party over.

Shen Qiaoshen, as a party to the matter, naturally had to step forward together.

Haruka calmed his grandmother and brother, who were looking anxiously at him not far away. Shen Qiao stroked his sleeves, raised his head and stepped forward step by step.

The princes have a noble status, so they are naturally at the forefront. And although Xiao Jue is not a prince, as the little prince of Prince Yong's mansion, he is naturally unspeakably expensive. should go with the three princes and others.

But for some reason, I saw him get up lazily and move his neck slightly. Then he followed behind the crowd not far away.

Shen Qiaoshen is a woman, and her body is weak. The pace naturally slowed down.

And I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Xiao Jue was unhurried, and in the end, he almost walked with Shen Qiaoshen all the way.

These two people are both dragons and phoenixes in appearance, but their temperaments are very different.

The girl's snow skin, dark hair, green clothes, pure as the green lotus under the Buddha's seat.

The young phoenix eyes, thin lips, red clothes practice, blazing glass pure fire that seems to be able to burn everything.

The girl is delicate, the boy is rebellious, and the two people who should be very different from each other seem inexplicably harmonious at this time.

The two came side by side, walking unhurriedly. Slowly, a feeling swelled up in the hearts of everyone in the hall......

The sun and the moon shine together.

……

At this time, it was already dark outside, and the palace lamps were lit in the hall early.

Xiao Li stood beside the third prince with his head down, his expression uncertain.

The faint light of the candle flame reflected on his face, forming a light and shadow, both light and dark.

Seeing Shen Qiaoshen and Xiao Jue coming together, Xiao Li frowned slightly, and his right hand unconsciously rotated the wrench on the thumb of his left hand.

secretly said in his heart that he had never had any intersection with this Shen family's daughter, let alone done anything unfavorable to her.

But why did Shen Qiaoshen resist and even disgust himself so much.

In his previous life, Shen Qiao had been obsessed with Xiao Li for many years, and he knew all his habits.

For example, Xiao Li's actions at this time are his subconscious behaviors when he is displeased.

Xiao Li's biological mother, Liu, had a low status and was just the daughter of a petty official family. It was given as a gift by his family to Emperor Chongming, who was still the king of Yan at the time.

At that time, King Yan was beside the princess Shen, who was in love, and there was a side concubine Li who was from a prominent background. I wouldn't put such a woman in my eyes at all.

Who would have thought that such an unknown woman, after Princess Yan Shen died in childbirth, she was able to give birth to the second son of King Yan before the Li family, and even raised her peacefully.

When Emperor Chongming ascended the throne, he named the Liu family as Yun Concubine, but after so many years, the daughter of the Shen family who entered the palace has been promoted all the way to the imperial concubine, and Yun Concubine is still a concubine.

Among the princes of the Great Jin Dynasty, in addition to the eldest prince who died not long after birth, the eldest is now the second prince Xiao Li.

As the old saying goes, 'establish a long-term son', although Xiao Li is not a descendant, he can also occupy the word 'long', but for some reason, Emperor Chongming has never valued his eldest son.

In his previous life, when Shen Qiaoshen insisted on marrying Xiao Li, his father Shen Congyan once said that Xiao Li was a wolf and ambitious, and he was not a good match.

At that time, Shen Qiaoshen didn't understand his father's hard work, but felt resentful because the Shen family refused to be Xiao Li's help.

But it wasn't until the Shen family overturned and he was trapped in the cold palace that he gradually understood that his parents knew that when Xiao Li looked at him, there was never a trace of affection in his eyes.

But by then, it was too late, too late.

……

No matter how the thoughts in his heart flipped, Shen Qiao's face still didn't show it at all.

When Shen Qiaoshen stepped forward, he saw several princes standing together, lowered his head and thought about it, and then walked to the other side and stood up.

But for some reason, Xiao Jue also followed.

Emperor Chongming looked at the two distinct people standing below, raised his eyebrows with interest, and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

At this time, the three princes seemed to have suddenly gained confidence, glanced at Shen Qiao and Shen with disdain, and then said indignantly: "Back to my father, the son just wants to say hello to Miss Shen...... Say...... It is also said that the son is a long tongue. ”

"Poof......

"Hahaha......"

The people around him covered their mouths and laughed, and even snickered.

The third prince, Xiao Che, has not learned since he was a child, relying on himself as the only concubine, he never put other princes and princesses in his eyes, for so many years, if there is no queen and the Li family behind him, I don't know how many troubles will be caused.

In addition, Xiao Che also has a problem, as long as he is emotional, he is prone to stuttering.

How could Empress Li tolerate her son being ridiculed by this group of people, so she immediately reprimanded angrily:

"Presumptuous..."

But he saw Emperor Chongming glance at the queen coldly, and said lightly:

"I'm asking, if the queen wants to discipline her subordinates, let's go back to Kunning Palace."

After speaking, regardless of the queen's instantly pale face, she turned her head and looked at the third prince and said softly word by word:

"The next offense?"

"You said that Huai Jin committed the following crimes, so according to the opinion of the three princes, what should it be?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were different. Those who have a heart, when they heard Emperor Chongming's address to Xiao Xiaowang and the third prince, they had a deeper understanding of the current situation.

Shen Qiaoshen's heart moved slightly, and then he put his mind at ease.
