Chapter Seventy-Four: If It's Not a Knife, It's Fish

Shen Shuning said: "Father Jiang and Mother Jiang were extremely indulgent to Qingyue and gave her a lot of freedom, they did their best to take care of their daughter, and almost never restrained their daughter before they let her get out of that nightmare." ”

"So the Jiang Qingyue you know is happy. She seems to be very strong, and she seems to be happy all the time. ”

"She told you that she didn't want to be a concubine, because the harem is a cage, and she will never go into the cage unless she has to."

Jiang Qingyue would not mention to anyone how afraid she was of the door that she couldn't get out of and the window that she couldn't open.

Shen Shuning also learned about it by accident.

Many years ago, the two of them sneaked into the Guozijian to play, and it was rumored that the library of the Guozijian was the largest library in Great Xia, and they did everything possible to sneak in when no one was there, but they didn't want the door of the library to be locked.

When they looked through a lot of books inside, they realized that the door would not open. Jiang Qingyue went to push every window, but to no avail.

Shen Shuning said disappreciably: "It's noon at this time, they want to take a nap, someone will always come later, let's ...... at most."

Before she finished speaking, she suddenly found that Jiang Qingyue's face was very bad.

It was obviously late autumn weather, but Jiang Qingyue broke out in a lot of cold sweat, her hair was wet at the roots, she sat in the corner holding her knees, and her eyes were staring at the locked door.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Shuning hugged her and asked cautiously, "What's uncomfortable?" ”

Jiang Qingyue immediately hugged her tightly and buried her face in her shoulder socket.

"Shuning, will we not be able to get out......"

"No, it won't."

"Shuning, I don't want to come here again."

"Okay, I'm not coming."

Shen Shuning caressed her back and patiently comforted her for a long time.

It wasn't until she left the library an hour later, and she devoured the baked cakes, that she opened her heart: "Probably because I was locked up in a courtyard for a long time when I was a child, so I was afraid of being locked up." ”

At that time, Shen Shuning didn't ask in detail, but later learned what Yongchanghou had done, and she guessed that it probably originated here.

……

"What did you think when you punished her with a grounding? You really haven't thought about it...... Perhaps she will hate you as much as she hates Yongchanghou? ”

Shen Xiao's mind was blank, and he suddenly remembered something.

In Jiuming Mountain, on the first day he ordered the grounding, she couldn't eat, but he didn't think so......

It wasn't her bitter ploy, she was really afraid of being confined, afraid of the darkness, so that she had no appetite.

Shen Shuning asked again: "How long have you locked her up, half a month, a month?" ”

His face grew more and more ugly.

“…… I didn't, I didn't think of it. ”

She was afraid of confinement, but why didn't she say a word to him?

Shen Shuning sighed again: "What if you think about it, will you let her annoy you every day and force you to change your decision?" Grounding her is the most worry-free thing. Again, you do it again. ”

Shen Xiao shook his head and denied: "No." ”

He would have done something else, never again.

Shen Shuning held him down on the shoulder to prevent him from swaying.

"You are the emperor, and if you miss a woman, you will go to the harem to find it. You have Concubine Liu, Yu Zhaoyi, Chu Jieyu...... There are many beauties in your harem. ”

She has also dealt with those women, and her appearance and character are not bad, if she didn't enter the palace, there would be an endless stream of people who came to propose marriage on their terms, and it was not difficult to have a splendid relationship.

It's a pity that he stumbled in the palace in vain.

Shen Xiao seemed to have heard the shocking words, and his drunken face was full of astonishment: "Do you really want to break us up, she doesn't like me to have other women, I want to keep my innocence ......!" How can you instigate me to find someone else! ”

Shen Shuning was even more stunned.

She knew that Shen Xiao hadn't touched Meng Zhen and Cao Qing, but he didn't touch the other concubines either, which she never expected.

"Are you sick, Shen Xiao, can you figure it out, you just don't touch other women in your life, and you can't do it!"

If Shen Xiao wiped out the Zhenguo Mansion with a big stroke, and asked Zhang Yunlu and Sun Hongyan to die with a thousand knives, then maybe Qingyue would be able to feel a little bit of gratitude.

Maybe let the dead Lu Yunjin come back to life. It is also possible that Qingyue immediately made a personal promise.

But all he can do is keep himself like a jade...... This is the thing that Qingyue cares about the most, it has long been worthless in her, and it is not eye-catching.

Is this stupid brother really unable to figure it out?

Shen Shuning kindly persuaded: "If you want to be the emperor, do it well, how to open the branches and leaves, how to open the emperor's heir!" ”

Shen Xiao covered his ears and shook his head like a rattle.

"I don't listen!"

Shen Shuning later ignored him.

When he fell asleep on the ground like a puddle of mud, she went out and called someone to send the emperor back to the Qianyuan Palace.

……

Shen Xiao woke up with a splitting headache.

He sat up with his head in one hand, only to find a woman lying beside him.

Yu Zhaoyi hid her head in the quilt, lifted a little quilt to reveal a pair of eyes, and looked at him secretly.

Shen Xiao ignored it, got up and thought about it while dressing, the imperial sister did whatever she wanted, and dared to stuff a woman on his bed.

The sky is not long-sighted, and I didn't succeed in marrying her off.

Shen Xiao glanced at the woman who was still in his futon.

"Not leaving?"

No matter how sluggish Yu Zhaoyi was, she could hear the coldness in his tone, and she crawled out of bed, and hastily dressed and retired.

……

Liu Qingshu personally walked to Fangfei Hall and brought a message to Shen Shuning.

"Concubine An has been made a concubine."

Hearing the sound, the bow and arrow in Shen Shuning's hand were slightly deflected, and only hit the nine rings.

Shen Xiao clearly knew that it was wrong to coerce Qingyue with this, but he still did it.

She gave the bow and arrows to her subordinates, cleaned her hands in the basin, and then retreated from her subordinates, and said to Liu Qingshu: "The Zhenguo Mansion and your Liu family have a grudge. ”

Liu Qingshu said: "Princess, I have no other way. ”

Shen Shuning looked at her face, her side face was the most similar to Qingyue. Especially the moment when the eyes are gloomy, it is carved out of a mold.

Chu Ying can't do it, but Liu Qingshu may not ......

Thinking of this, Shen Shuning said in a soft tone: "The emperor also had expectations for you, you angered Tianyan for Xin Jieyu's matter, and he never punished you heavily for this, but only accepted your right to assist in the Six Palaces." ”

Liu Qingshu lowered her eyes, "At that time, there was indeed some obstinacy. ”

"Do you regret it?" Shen Shuning asked.

"Never."

Liu Qingshu did not hesitate.

Shen Shuning said in his heart, Concubine Liu was in the harem, and she had never been washed away by those intrigues.

No wonder Qingyue said that all the Liu family members are bright pearls, and no wonder Shen Xiao values the Liu family so much.

Some of them are loyal and courageous, and they are indeed passed down from clan to lineage.

Shen Shuning shook her hand and said sincerely: "In this harem, if you don't do it, you will be fish and meat. If you don't fight, others will calculate it on your head. Why don't you fight for the sake of the Liu family and the people who rely on you? ”

Liu Qingshu confessed: "Princess, I have this intention. ”

That's why she came this way.
