Chapter 90: King Jing's Mansion
When the flower-viewing banquet was about to end, the little servant came to say, "His Royal Highness King Jing has arrived—"
Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked at Sheng Qingyuan, and then hurriedly saluted Shen Zhao.
Shen Zhao said lightly, "No need to be polite."
As he spoke, he couldn't wait to walk up to Sheng Qingyuan and hold her hand.
"What's coming?" Sheng Qingyuan asked him.
"Okay, I'll pick you up." Shen Zhao said softly.
The voices of the two are not loud, there are no sweet words, it is so simple, just like the conversation of an ordinary couple in the people's family, which makes people feel that the relationship between the two is quite good.
"This king is the princess, thank you for taking care of the princess." Shen Zhao raised his voice and said to everyone.
The crowd was busy and didn't dare.
The Prime Minister's wife said with a gentle smile: "It should be our Princess Xie who took us to experience a different form of meal, brought us so many delicious foods, and also handed over this group of children to learn to make bamboo carving."
Others chimed in.
Shen Zhao looked at Sheng Qingyuan, Sheng Qingyuan smiled at him, and asked silently: Am I great?
The smile on Shen Zhao's face deepened, and the hand holding her tightened by two points.
"It's best if everyone is happy, this king's princess is timid, if you want to offend anything, please forgive me." Shen Zhao added.
The tone was light, and the words were full of protection for Sheng Qingyuan, and when the prime minister's wife looked at him and said this, she couldn't help but be slightly stunned for a while.
Because of her good background and current position, she has also had many opportunities to meet the first emperor, and the first emperor has also come to their mansion several times.
When Shen Zhao said this just now, there was a moment that made her almost think that the first emperor was talking.
No wonder the first emperor attached so much importance to King Jing.
King Jing is indeed very similar to the first emperor, and his appearance is somewhat similar, but it is more like the temperament of this body, this kingly spirit exclusive to the emperor.
It's just that King Jing didn't sit in that position, and the departure of the past few years seems to have made him a little less aggressive, and more warm under the nourishment of the good years.
"The princess is smart and friendly, we all like it very much, and the big guy is also a rare joy today." The Prime Minister's wife said with a smile.
Others chimed in.
That's the big truth.
"That's very good, this king and the princess will go home first." Shen Zhao said with satisfaction.
"Congratulations to the prince and princess."
After getting into the carriage, Shen Zhao asked Sheng Qingyuan, "How is today?"
Sheng Qingyuan said with a smile, "Just like what the Prime Minister's wife said just now."
Shen Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Those are not easy to get along with."
Sheng Qingyuan smiled and slowly told Shen Zhao everything that happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion today.
"It's worthy of being a princess, it's amazing." Shen Zhao boasted.
Sheng Qingyuan smiled and said, "Then thank you for the information provided by the prince, otherwise I wouldn't be able to pinch them so easily."
Shen Zhao's spy network in the capital has been restarted, reorganized, and then merged with Su Ling and Su Wei's spy networks, and after this period of running-in and development, today's spy network is extraordinary.
"The princess can write down so much in a short period of time, which is very much beyond the reach of people." Shen Zhao praised.
"Okay, okay, let's stop boasting about each other." Sheng Qingyuan hurriedly said.
Subsequently, Sheng Qingyuan expressed his worries: "It's just that today's play is undoubtedly revealing part of the hole cards, and many people in the capital are just afraid that they will re-examine you."
Shen Zhao said indifferently, "That's what you want. In the deep pool of the capital, if you don't have real power in your hands, you can only wait to be submerged. With Chu Xuanjin's vigilance against me, he didn't dare to let me have a little power, in this case, if I don't show some of my strength, then in this capital, everyone can be bullied."
Sheng Qingyuan said: "I remember that the initial decision was to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, without threat, to numb the enemy, so that we could have more time
Go and prepare."
Shen Zhao said: "This is indeed a way, if we want to deal with only Chu Xuanjin, then it's okay, but Zuo Ye who he is resting in front of him, and the Queen Mother behind him, are not fuel-efficient lamps, and the eyes of these two people are bright."
After a pause, he said, "Moreover, for them, my inaction does not really reassure them, and only by completely disappearing from this world can they truly feel at ease. In this case, I might as well take the initiative and make them fearful."
That being said, but for them now, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is actually the best choice.
After all, in a short period of time, the Queen Mother didn't dare to let him die, at least she could take advantage of this time to secretly develop her own power.
If part of her strength is exposed now, the Queen Mother's guard will inevitably be heavier, and more people will be sent to keep an eye on them, and their actions will be more restricted.
However, there is an advantage to such a high-profile display of some strength, and others will be afraid of it.
Afraid of King Jing, and even afraid of Princess Jing on the tip of King Jing's heart, they don't dare to be disrespectful to Sheng Qingyuan, this is what Shen Zhao wants most.
In the past, he was still in Fushou City and Zhushan Village, and he had no ability to protect Sheng Qingyuan.
Now, he finally has some ability, and he can't allow those people to have any disregard and disrespect for Sheng Qingyuan's identity.
"I don't know as much about these things as you do, and since you think it's okay, it's okay." Sheng Qingyuan said with a shallow smile.
"Well, everything is fine with me." Shen Zhao hugged Sheng Qingyuan into his arms.
After a while, the carriage stopped.
Looking at the unfamiliar mansion in front of him, Sheng Qingyuan was slightly stunned: "King Jing's Mansion?"
Shen Zhao nodded: "The palace has been repaired before, and today it has been repaired, let's see if you like it."
Sheng Qingyuan raised his eyebrows: "This is your palace."
Shen Zhao corrected, "It's our palace, our future home, come."
"I've seen the prince! I've seen the princess!" When the housekeeper Zhongbo saw Shen Zhao and Sheng Qingyuan, he immediately gave him a big salute.
Shen Zhao immediately helped him up: "Uncle Zhong doesn't need to be polite."
Shen Zhao introduced Sheng Qingyuan: "This is Uncle Zhong, who used to be the housekeeper of my grandfather's family, and after my father allowed me to build a mansion, my grandfather asked Uncle Zhong to help take care of everything in the house."
"Hello uncle." Sheng Qingyuan called out with a smile.
"Huh!" Uncle Zhong hurriedly responded, his eyes and nose were red, and he couldn't help wiping a handful of tears, and said, "If Miss has a spirit in the sky, she will definitely feel very happy to see that the prince has become a family and married such a good princess."
Shen Zhao gently stroked Zhongbo's back: "Let's go to the mansion first."
"Okay, good, princess, princess, please." Uncle Zhong hurriedly invited the two in.
The layout of the palace is mainly elegant and atmospheric, without too much luxurious decoration, and it looks very refreshing and comfortable.
But this does not mean that the palace is poor, and there are not many ornaments, but each one is priceless.
One building and one beam, the construction and carving of all houses are also first-class, excellent materials, and excellent carving.
Sheng Qingyuan looked at the carving above the cloister and said with a smile, "If I take a small piece from it and sell it, it is estimated that it will be enough for an ordinary family of four to eat for several years."
"Please also ask the princess to be merciful." Shen Zhao hurriedly said.
"That's up to you." Sheng Qingyuan deliberately raised his chin and said.
Shen Zhao chuckled, "It is bound to satisfy the princess."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhongbo's eyes couldn't help but turn red again.
I'm so happy, so happy!
The young lady died unexplained back then, the prince fell off the cliff at a young age, and the Zhenguo Mansion suffered another catastrophe.
Fortunately, God has eyes, so that the prince came back well, and he also found a princess who likes each other with him.
After walking around the front yard and coming to the backyard, I found that the main courtyard took up most of the space in the backyard.
"Is the main courtyard so big?" Sheng Qingyuan asked in surprise.
Zhongbo explained: "Originally, it was only half the size, and the prince felt that the original main courtyard was too small, so he asked people to expand the two courtyards next to it, and the prince said that the princess must live comfortably and like it."
Sheng Qingyuan looked at Shen Zhao, and Shen Zhao said with a smile, "Come in and see, see if there is anything else that needs to be added, if you feel that this main courtyard is not big enough, you can expand the other courtyards as well."
Sheng Qingyuan said with a smile: "If it is expanded further, it is estimated that there will be only one such courtyard in the entire backyard."
Shen Zhao didn't care: "Anyway, the backyard is yours, and this backyard is all yours."
Listening to Shen Zhao's words, Sheng Qingyuan was a little stunned.
She never made a promise to him for a lifetime.
She knows the particularity of this era, and she knows Shen Zhao's identity, and she always inevitably needs to use the backyard to maintain some relationships in the court.
She didn't think she could accept it, she just thought that if he met other women in the future and wanted to marry other women, then she would choose to let go.
Leave the palace and continue to develop her business and run her medical clinic.
Whether in the previous life or in this life, she has a very light view of love.
If you can meet a beautiful love, it is naturally the best thing.
But if she can't meet it, she doesn't force it, with her ability, she can live well by herself, and she doesn't necessarily need to rely on men.
Now Shen Zhao is still willing to treat her wholeheartedly, so she is also willing to accompany him with her heart.
If one day, he doesn't need her, then she will go extremely simply, and she will never drag the mud and water.
Looking at Sheng Qingyuan's stunned appearance, Shen Zhao lightly tapped her nose: "Why are you in a daze?"
Sheng Qingyuan shook his head, looked at Shen Zhao, and asked, "What do you mean by saying that just now......
"That's what it means." Shen Zhao said firmly.
"But, you ......," Sheng Qingyuan hesitated.
He is now the prince, and if it goes well in the future, maybe he will still sit in that position.
At that position, how could there be only one woman in the huge harem.
"No, Qingyuan, believe me, I won't let you down." Shen Zhao hugged Sheng Qingyuan into his arms.
Sheng Qingyuan hugged him with his backhand and said, "Well, I believe you. It's just that if there is a day, you remember to tell me, I won't embarrass you."
Shen Zhao hugged Sheng Qingyuan tightly by two points, as if he wanted to rub the person into his body, "I won't give you this day."
Listening to Shen Zhao's firm promise, the corners of Sheng Qingyuan's lips couldn't help but rise.
The two hugged each other for a while before letting go, and Shen Zhao took Sheng Qingyuan's hand and continued to walk around the palace.
The palace is designed inside and outside according to the style that Sheng Qingyuan likes on weekdays, and the main courtyard is used for daily rest. Other courtyards have also been transformed into various warehouses of Shengqing Garden, storing and drying medicinal materials, and even a piece of land has been specially opened up to plant some medicinal materials for Shengqing Garden.
After visiting the palace, Sheng Qingyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I'm afraid this has to be greatly changed, how did you do it in just a few days?"
