"She is Jiang Qingyue, the current Princess Xuan," Shen Xiao said this fact very plainly, "You don't have to be sad, she is alive and well." ”

Liu Qingshu raised her head, her eyes stunned.

Shen Xiao squatted down, took the dark coin in her hand that was about to burn to her fingertips, and put it in the brazier.

He guessed that Liu Qingshu didn't know about it, and the imperial sister didn't tell her anything.

And so it is.

Liu Qingshu lowered her head gloomily.

"She is Jiang Qingyue...... And what about her...... I've suffered so much. ”

Liu Qingshu knew that Lu Yunjin died tragically, knew that Jiang Liu was wronged, and knew that Jiang Qingyue died in the fire.

But if Jiang Qingyue hadn't died...... How much did she bear in the face of all this alive and as a palace concubine to face the emperor who failed her? No wonder she always looks preoccupied.

Shen Xiao seemed to see through what Liu Qingshu was thinking, and said with a wry smile: "Everyone in this world knows that I have failed Jiang Qingyue, but no one knows, I have also begged her, begged her to believe in me, wait for me, don't give up on me just because I am the emperor." ”

Under the peach blossom tree that year, Jiang Qingyue said that she was here to say goodbye to him.

Shen Xiao disagreed, took her hand, and said to her in an almost pleading tone, give him another chance, wait for two years, just two years, if he can't do it after two years, he will let go.

But she refused.

Not a day waits, that's her answer.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was the most beautiful, and he was also the most difficult time when he was on the cusp of the storm, and there were open guns and hidden arrows everywhere eyeing him, and one step was a dead end.

But at this time, Jiang Qingyue left him.

And in those months, he wrote to her every day when he had free time, and sent hundreds of letters to Jiangfu, I don't know if she read them, in short, he didn't get any response.

Liu Qingshu asked, "Can't the emperor let her go?" ”

Shen Xiao smiled and shook his head gently.

"She loves freedom more than me, I love power more than her, and now that she is Princess Xuan, what else can I not let go."

He confessed so frankly, Liu Qingshu was a little unexpected, and she couldn't react for a while.

In the past year, she has always regarded the emperor as a ruthless, unrighteous and indifferent person, but today, her perception seems to be different.

After a while, she lowered her eyes and said, "I won't miss her anymore." She didn't tell me the truth, probably because she had a hard time...... But I'm a little uncomfortable. ”

Liu Qingshu stood up and smiled at him: "There are regrets and unsatisfactory things, so we should cherish everything at our fingertips, Your Majesty, don't you say?" ”

Shen Xiao was silent for a long time, and he said, "Hmm." ”

-

A month later, Shen Gu brought a message to Jiang Qingyue.

"Zhang Shulan has entered the palace."

Jiang Qingyue was not surprised, but was a little curious, "Zhang Shuting is willing?" ”

"Naturally, I don't like it."

"So what?"

The reason for this, Shen Gu wanted to speak and stopped, seeing that she was casually painting the Kodan on her nails, she still spoke: "Concubine Liu stayed in the Qianyuan Palace all night. ”

Jiang Qingyue finished drawing a delicate begonia flower, dipped the ink pen in the water, and tapped it in the dye made of safflower, and continued to draw another nail.

She didn't look up, "Faster than I thought." ”

As she spoke, she laughed at herself a little.

It's natural to be fast, since he has completely broken his thoughts, he should also be his emperor well, and it is his responsibility to open up branches and leaves for the royal family.

That's fine. Zhang Shuting will inevitably panic when she learns that Concubine Liu is favored.

Seeing that she didn't look sad, Shen Gu was relieved and asked, "I actually don't understand it all along...... It is clear that the royal brother can help you avenge with a word, why don't you want to use him? ”

Jiang Qingyue said 1510: "Twice, he rejected me, and even when I took an aphrodisiac, he was indifferent." So, it's not that I don't want to use him, it's that he doesn't want to use me every time I go with a purpose. ”

Shen was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had misheard: "Aphrodisiac? ”

"Yes," Jiang Qingyue didn't want to hide it from him, and she didn't want to pretend to be innocent, she said frankly: "I'm willing to pay for chastity, but he doesn't want it." ”

Shen Gu's face was very embarrassed.

It wasn't until she finished painting the last Kodan that Shen Gu said, "Have you ever thought that if you use another way, he might agree?" ”

"What?"

"Maybe ......"

Maybe he wanted sincerity more than the body she sacrificed when she was forced to do so. So she used this way, only in exchange for his refusal.

Shen Gu still didn't say anything, just smiled, and continued to talk about the little things in the palace: "There is musk in Weiyang Palace. ”

Jiang Qingyue raised her head, her face was solemn, she was a little familiar with this medicine.

"Infertility drugs?"

"Hmm."

"Did Shen Xiao do it?"

"Maybe," Shen Gu nodded: "In addition to the concubines in the harem, there are also the emperor who don't want her to be pregnant." ”

After all, behind her is a prominent family of military generals.

"I have to let Concubine Liu know about the existence of musk," Jiang Qingyue thought for a while and said, "You can help me send a message to Shu Ning." ”

"yes, okay."

Shen Gu agreed, and said, "The day after tomorrow, the birthday banquet, will you follow me into the palace?" ”

Long life feast?

Jiang Qingyue remembered that today is eighteen, and the day after tomorrow is the twentieth month of Liyue, which is Shen Xiao's birthday.

At the emperor's birthday banquet, Shen, as King Xuan, should bring the princess to celebrate his birthday.

Jiang Qingyue didn't hesitate: "Naturally, I went." ”

Shen Gu hooked the corners of his lips: "Then this congratulatory gift has bothered the princess to use some thoughts." ”

Jiang Qingyue thought to herself, what kind of effort does this take, she used to give it away casually, as long as it is valuable.

She thought so in her heart, and promised to come down, "Okay, leave it to me." ”

Shen Gu went out with a smile on his lips, his steps were light, he greeted people when he met them, and when he saw a child, he gave money to buy candy to eat.

Wen Bao, who was following beside him, couldn't help but ask: "Lord Wang, why are you so happy?" ”

Shen Gu said: "She participated in the longevity banquet as a princess, which shows that she really let go of her royal brother, so she can face it calmly." ”

Wen Bao was surprised: "But the prince also said before that if the princess doesn't go, it means that she avoids the emperor and is really careless about the emperor...... Why is she going to ......?"

Shen Gu patted him on the head: "It's all right anyway." ”

Wenbao touched his head, still puzzled.

"Lord, you have been sleeping in the study every day since your wedding, what is there to be happy about?"

Shen Gu almost knocked Wen Bao unconscious with a palm.

"You know what!"

-

The twentieth day of the liyue month, the day of the longevity feast.

At the gate of the palace, Jiang Qingyue and Sun Hongyan bumped into each other.

As soon as Sun Hongya saw her, she turned her head and wanted to leave.

Jiang Qingyue shouted to her: "Mrs. Zhenguo! ”

When I saw it last time, Jiang Qingyue said in public that she had disturbed the Marquis of Yongchang's previous marriage, and this matter reached the ears of the Marquis of Yongchang, and he questioned Sun Hongya, and he still didn't give a good face to this day.

So much so that when Sun Hongyan saw Jiang Qingyue now, it was as if she had seen a plague god, and after a glance, she quickened her steps and went to the palace.
