"What's going on?"

A warm voice came, followed by the unhurried sound of footsteps.

Shen Qiaoran, who was on the side, looked at his grandmother and sister in front of him with a blank expression, and immediately ran over after hearing the voice.

"Second brother, you're back, persuade grandmother and Xiao Qiao......"

The person who came was Shen Qiaoqi, the second young master of the Shen family. Looking at his third brother as if he had seen a savior, Shen Qiaoqi raised his eyebrows, walked to the first position on the right and sat down, looked at the two who were sad, and turned back and whispered to the tassel who was serving him tea.

After understanding what had happened, Shen Qiaoqi lowered his head and coughed lightly.

Shen Qiao came back to his senses, raised his eyes and saw his two brothers looking at him with two pairs of similar eyes, and suddenly felt that he had already said that he was not a child, but still crying like Fang Cai really affected his image.

So he got up from his grandmother's arms, straightened his clothes, lowered his head embarrassedly, and called out in a low voice, "Second brother."

Shen Qiaoqi nodded with a smile.

……

After a while, after sorting out her emotions, and seeing that Shen Qiaoqi was also back, Old Madam Shen ordered to pass the meal.

The lunch was very delicious, all of which were dishes that the Shen brothers and sisters loved to eat, and the three brothers and sisters of Shen Qiao and Shen were very satisfied, but Mrs. Shen herself didn't seem to have much appetite, so she only used a few green vegetables and a bowl of soup, and stopped using chopsticks.

Shen Qiaoshen noticed this, and didn't say anything, just glanced at Orange Bai, who nodded, and turned around with the small package he brought from Yilan Courtyard.

When she came back, everyone in the Shen family had finished their meal and sat down again for tea. Orange Bai returned to Shen Qiao Shen and stood up, and the things in his hand were gone.

Shen Qiaoqi mentioned that many colleagues in the Hanlin Academy today vaguely asked him about the Shen family's attitude towards the prince.

Shen Qiaoran also hesitated: "Actually, I also met a few annoying guys today. ”

Shen Qiaoran is now studying in the Guozijian, and most of the students in the Guozijian are naturally the children of high-ranking officials, some were in the palace yesterday, and some have received the news from the holy decree, in short, no matter whether they had a relationship with Shen Qiaoran before, they are trying their best to get to him today, obviously they are all advised by the elders in the family, trying to start with Shen Qiaoran to see if they can find out any news.

Hearing this, Old Madam Shen also frowned, and said cautiously: "Yesterday's incident, although it is not directly related, but it is more or less related to Xiao Qiao, and now Your Majesty has taken the opportunity to set up a prince, and now, the entire capital is looking at the attitude of our Shen family." ”

"But the second aunt and eldest cousin are gone......" Shen Qiaoran wondered.

Old Madam Shen felt a pain in her heart, and just wanted to speak, but she heard Shen Qiao Shen say softly: "It is because the first queen and the crown prince are not there that they want to know what the Shen family thinks." ”

Shen Qiaoqi held the teacup in his hand, looked at Shen Qiaoshen, and said, "That's right, they want to test whether the Shen family has the idea of standing in line." ”

Just now Shen Qiaoshen said 'the first queen and the prince', instead of calling 'aunt and cousin' like Shen Qiaoran, the different titles prove that she jumped out of the scope of 'Shen Mansion', but looked at this matter objectively from an outsider's perspective.

The bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused. Shen Qiaoqi quickly figured out the key to this.

Smiling at Shen Qiao, Shen Qiaoqi continued: "If the Shen family is unintentional, then last night's holy decree is at best a good name, after all, a deceased grandson of the crown prince cannot bring any substantial benefits to the Shen family. But if the Shen family is interested in that position......"

Speaking of this, Shen Qiaoqi paused deliberately, and then looked at Shen Qiaoshen with a smile.

Shen Qiao was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes at his second brother, and said expressionlessly: "If the Shen family is interested in that position, then it will naturally be the two princes from the aunt of the concubine, after all, they are the same as the eldest cousin, and they are also the grandsons of the Shen family." ”

"But they're not princes either......" Shen Qiaoran looked confused.

"But the prince's cousin is no longer there."

"But they're still alive."

Two voices sounded at the same time, and both sides were stunned. Immediately, the brother and sister glanced at each other, Shen Qiaoqi looked at his sister with a smile, Shen Qiaoshen glanced at the fox-like second brother, snorted lightly and turned his face away.

After entering the house, Mrs. Shen ordered someone to bring a bowl of almond cheese and asked Shen Qiaoshen to taste it quickly.

Shen Qiao had just used a cup of bird's nest before Shen came, and he was not hungry at this time, so he held the bowl and drank it.

Seeing that the first chair on the right was empty, he asked, "What about the second brother?" Haven't come back yet? ”

Shen Qiaoqi entered the Hanlin Academy after high school, and there is a good saying that 'non-jinshi does not enter Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet', although it is not a real shortage now, but in the eyes of others, it is also a very noble place.

But Shen Qiao felt that according to Shen Qiaoqi's temperament, he must have felt that it was better to let him out and be a county magistrate, at least a place where he could do practical things.

Shen Qiaoran replied: "Not yet, I entered the palace early in the morning, and I don't know what to do." ”

"Do you think your second brother is like you?" Old Madam Shen glanced at Shen Qiaoran angrily, and said to Shen Qiaoshen with concern: "Xiao Qiao was scared yesterday, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Shen Qiao Shen was thinking about Shen Qiaoqi, raised his head when he heard this, and smiled glutinously at Old Madam Shen: "Grandmother, don't worry, Xiao Qiao slept well last night." After thinking about it, he continued: "What were grandmothers and third brothers talking about just now? Xiao Qiao seemed to hear Xiao ...... Xiao Shizi's name. ”

Seeing Shen Qiao Shen mention it, Old Madam Shen thought of Fang Cai's matter, and said with a displeased face: "This third prince is really too much, don't you think that our Shen family is afraid that he will not succeed, and he will ruin your reputation in front of the public." ”

"This is what Xiao Jue said?" Shen Qiao was stunned, seeing that Old Madam Shen did not deny it, she felt a little strange in her heart, according to her understanding of Xiao Jue, he was not such a talkative person anyway......

After all, she was still afraid that Shen Qiaoshen would be sad because of the words of the third prince, and Old Madam Shen comforted her granddaughter and said, "That's it, it's okay." Dr. Lin said, now that your body has improved greatly, then go out for a walk more in the future. At my daughter's house, the most comfortable day is when I am in the boudoir, and when I go to someone else's house in the future, I can't help myself......"

As if thinking of something, Old Madam Shen stroked her little granddaughter's long hair and said abruptly.

Shen Qiaoshen was infected by Old Madam Shen's emotions, and for a while he remembered all the things in his previous life, his eyes instantly turned red, he hugged Old Madam Shen's arm, and choked up: "No, grandmother, Xiao Qiao is not going anywhere, Xiao Qiao will be by his grandmother and father for the rest of his life......"

Mrs. Shen also thought of her deceased eldest daughter and grandson because of the establishment of the prince yesterday, and she felt for a while, but she didn't expect to make her little granddaughter so sad.

Hurriedly hugged Shen Qiao in his arms, thinking of his little Qiao, from such a small, cat-like baby to now a little pale, but he can still see the appearance of a girl who is a beautiful embryo.

Seeing Shen Qiao's tears in her eyes, Old Madam Shen's heart was soft, she let out a long sigh and said dotingly,

"You kid......"
