Chapter 21: The Deceased
Shen Qiaoran and Xiao Jue have known each other for many years, so they naturally know his temperament, so they then said with relatives: "You don't know, Xiao Qiao, she has been weak since she was a child, and she was in a coma for a long time a while ago. ”
Then he said gratefully: "Anyway, today's incident, the little brother is very grateful. ”
Looking at Shen Qiaoran's serious appearance, a similar little face appeared in front of Xiao Jue's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile lowly,
"You're really brothers and sisters."
Shen Qiaoran didn't know why, but still smiled and nodded,
"This is natural, Xiao Qiao and I are twins. On the day we were born, there was a vision from heaven, and the old people in the house said that it was a great good omen. ”
When he mentioned this, Shen Qiaoran immediately looked bright, but soon the light in his eyes dimmed.
"But luckily, I seem to be alone. Xiao Qiao was born sick, and for so many years, no matter what method he used, he didn't get better. The doctor said that Xiao Qiao was a weak disease in the womb. ”
"Sometimes I wonder if I robbed her of her blessing, otherwise it was obviously a dragon and phoenix fetus, why did I grow up without illness until now, and my sister would suffer such a big sin......"
In the end, Shen Qiaoran's voice became lower and lower, and his expression became more and more depressed.
At this time, they were in a remote location, and no one else noticed them.
The young man in front of him is the age of male and female, with red lips and white teeth, handsome and unparalleled, and his expression is lonely at this time, like a big dog that has been discarded.
Xiao Jue suddenly remembered the Wanshou Festival a few years ago, which was the saddest and most helpless moment in his life, and suddenly a person found himself hiding in the corner, took his hand, and took him to the palace of Shen Guifei, who was still Concubine Chen at that time.
There, he met Emperor Chongming, won his affection, and also got the opportunity to learn martial arts with the princes.
Xiao Jue will always remember that the child was only six or seven years old at the time, thin in shape, wearing a moon-white robe, standing in the sun, stretching out a hand to himself hiding in the shadows.
In the palm of the porcelain white hand, there is a piece of sugar.
……
The child called Shen his aunt, and he had a face similar to that of the young man in front of him.
……
Xiao Jue's heart moved slightly, and he looked at Shen Qiaoran's face and fell into deep thought.
Being stared at by Xiao Jue's compelling gaze, Shen Qiaoran felt uneasy, but heard Xiao Jue speak coldly,
"I heard that most of the twins look alike, but I don't think you and Shen Si are very similar."
Shen Qiaoran was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then replied: "It's okay, maybe it's because of the different genders." ”
After thinking about it, he continued: "But I am still very similar to Xiao Qiao when I was young, and I heard my grandmother say that we were occasionally dressed up in the same costume when we were young. The queen mother and aunt in the palace will always prepare the same ingredients for us, and they are both double-portions......"
Shen Qiaoran was still chattering about his childhood with Shen Qiaoshen, but Xiao Jue was rarely stunned.
The same outfit......
After being speechless for a moment, Xiao Jue closed his eyes, as if he had figured out something in an instant.
Waiting for Shen Qiaoran to say: "Somehow, I've been really smooth sailing for more than ten years, every time I encounter trouble, before I can figure out a way, I can always solve it inexplicably, could it be that I am really the reincarnation of Fuxing?" ”
Xiao Jue had already sorted out his thoughts, and in a blink of an eye, he was the same casual and lazy appearance again.
Just looked at Shen Qiaoran's gaze, more or less indescribable.
Here, Shen Qiaoran is sighing about life with his 'good brother' Xiao Jue.
On the other side, Shen Qiaoshen had already led people to the door of the side hall, and before entering the door, she turned around and smiled at the palace people behind her: "Sister, go back first, the sixth princess and grandmother are inside, I can just go in by myself." With that, he turned around and pushed open the door of the temple by himself, and walked in.
In the side hall of Qingliang Palace, Mrs. Shen had woken up, leaning on the yellow rosewood soft couch, talking to the six princesses sitting on the edge of the couch with a faint smile, there was a palace lamp in the corner of the room, and on the small table on the side, green smoke was rising from the incense burner.
Hearing the sound at the door, the two looked over and saw Shen Qiaoshen slowly walking from the darkness.
"Grandmother, are you better?" Shen Qiaoshen walked quickly to the couch, held the hand that Old Madam Shen stretched out, and asked softly.
Looking at the little granddaughter's porcelain white face with obvious worry, Old Madam Shen gently patted Shen Qiao's slightly cool little hand with her other hand, and said comfortingly: "I'm fine, just ...... It's just a moment of excitement, and now it's much better. ”
The sixth princess who was sitting on the side also hurriedly spoke: "Cousin, don't worry, the imperial doctor came just now, and my grandmother is no longer in trouble." ”
Seeing that Old Madam Shen looked calm at this time, her face was ruddy, and she no longer had the sickness of Fang Cai, Shen Qiao Shen relieved her heart, turned around and saluted the sixth princess,
"Thank you, Your Highness, for accompanying Grandmother."
The sixth princess, who felt very happy when she saw her cousin, jumped down from the seat and waved her hand arrogantly,
"It's all my own family, my cousin doesn't have to be polite, this is also the grandmother of this palace."
Then he stepped forward and hugged Shen Qiaoshen's arm, and said with a smile: "Cousin, you are so good-looking, even better than what the concubine said." ”
Shen Qiao smiled and teased her, "Really? Is it even better than His Highness? ”
The sixth princess was indulging in her cousin's smile, and said without thinking: "Of course, my cousin is much better looking than this palace...... Just as good looking as a mother. ”
Then he added, "But the mother concubine said that my cousin is still young now, and she will definitely be able to shine in the future." ”
"By the way, the mother concubine said, this is called 'the young phoenix is clear in the voice of the old phoenix'......" The sixth princess shook her head and said as Shen Guifei's example.
"Six princesses!" Old Madam Shen suddenly interrupted her sharply.
The sixth princess was racking her brains to recall what her mother had said, and was suddenly startled by Old Madam Shen and was stunned.
Shen Qiaoshen was also shocked and looked at Old Madam Shen.
I saw that my grandmother, who had always been kind and kind to her juniors, was looking in her direction, as if she had fallen into some bad memory. At the moment, the expression is very complicated. With a little reminiscence, a little resentment......
Resentment? Shen Qiao felt a little strange, he had never seen his grandmother have such an expression.
Even in her previous life, the Shen family was overturned because of her stupid obsession, and when she saw her grandmother for the last time, she never showed herself the same faintly ruthless eyes as she did at this time.
Shen Qiaoshen felt that Old Madam Shen was not looking at herself, but through her, she thought of someone.
Everything that happened at today's palace banquet made Shen Qiaoshen feel that there seemed to be a fog in front of him, vaguely, but it seemed to be related to himself.
Emperor Chongming's eyes when he saw him, the sudden will of the crown prince, and the loss of control of Shen Guifei and Old Madam Shen...... All these are beyond the cognition of Shen Qiao and Shen.
In the previous life, none of this happened.
It was his own rebirth that changed the original trajectory. is still the self in the previous life, and he has never been sober......
Shen Qiaoshen suddenly felt dizzy, and countless thoughts instantly flooded into his head.
At last she heard her own voice say,
"Grandmother, Shen family...... Is there anyone like me? ”
