The sun is shining, the streets are decorated with lively and festive decorations, and under the shadow of the sun, colorful flags are fluttering in the wind.

The city was full of empty alleys, and everyone ran to see the crown princess's canonization ceremony.

There were no customers in the shop.

Shen Qu sat in the circle chair, drinking tea slowly, while flipping through the sample book of the new style, and the shopkeeper standing next to him was the shopkeeper, and the two communicated from time to time.

She held the red pen in one hand, drawing in circles from time to time, her face was calm and pure, and her eyes were focused and determined.

Mutam, who sat across from him, was a little absent-minded, his eyes averting from her face to the shadows of the sun outside the shop, where the flowers and trees were luxuriant, the flags were waving, and the music was in the distance, all showing the supreme honor and the joy of the whole world.

Li Luansong is engaged, logically speaking, he should be happy, and there will be no rivals in love from now on.

However, he was not happy, but worried.

Since I followed Shen Qu out in the morning, I was worried that she would be sad, afraid that she would touch the scene. wanted to persuade her to stay in the mansion today, he accompanied her to play chess and asked her to teach, but Shen did insist on going out.

Along the way, she seemed very calm, calmly got into the car, calmly looked at the street scene outside the window, calmly went to the shop and did everything step by step, methodically and without waves.

But he was still worried, worried that the waves were surging under the calm, and that she would be uncomfortable, crying, and fainting if she couldn't stand it.

"That's all, the price will be negotiated by 20%." Shen Qu closed the sample book and handed it to the shopkeeper, "If the other party doesn't agree, then give him a few days to think about it, this price, no one can open it except Shen Ji, you have to have confidence in your heart." ”

The shopkeeper should have turned around and retreated.

"Amu, what do you think?" Shen Qu picked up the teacup and asked Mutam, "The thing is excellent." ”

She seemed to be in a good mood.

There was no response from the other side, and Shen Qu raised his eyes to see that Mutam was looking at the sun shadow outside in a daze.

"Amu." She called him again, and Mutam came back to his senses, and then showed his usual smile:

"Master called me."

Shen Qu shook his head and asked, "What's wrong with you, you don't have a rest, didn't you rest last night?" ”

Mutam looked at her expression, and he really couldn't see anything unusual.

She sat facing the light, her eyes were like autumn water, sparkling, although she did not apply fat powder, her cheeks were powdered, white and red, and her complexion was excellent.

"Nope." Only then did Mutam relax slightly, "Master, I'm worried that you will be upset. ”

Shen Qu got up with a smile and didn't answer him: "Let's go, it's noon, let's go eat noodles." ”

It was a small mom-and-pop shop on the corner of the street, the owner was a Bashu person, and he made good noodles, and Shen did always like to eat a bowl.

"Master." Mutam settled her down, and handed over the chopsticks, "Seeing that Master is as usual, I am relieved." ”

"Thank you." Shen Qu smiled, took a big mouthful of noodles into his mouth, and said, "Look, my appetite is very good." ”

Mutam also smiled, and also took a big mouthful of noodles into his mouth:

"I heard that the ceremony is very grand, I guess this will be a canonization ceremony."

"You didn't go to the ceremony, right?" Shen asked him, "This kind of ritual is not often seen. ”

Mutam shook his head and said dogleggedly, "I want to accompany Master." ”

Shen did smile and continued to eat noodles.

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Mutam thought about it, and pursued after him: "Master, have you really let go?" ”

Shen Qu lowered his eyes and ate noodles, thought for a while and said: "I don't know what it means to let go, if you say that you don't feel it at all, it's fake, but everyone has their own choice, and the road is taken step by step." ”

Mutam pondered this sentence, as if he understood it or not.

"Master, I actually ......"

"Amu."

Shen Qu raised his head and interrupted him, "I know what you want to say, and I know your thoughts, but I can't." ”

"Why? Where am I worse than Li Luansong? Mutam was a little anxious.

Shen Qu shook his head, "Don't compare yourself with anyone, you are you, you have your advantages and strengths." ”

"Why, exactly?"

"Because I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past."

"But I'm not Li Luansong." "I won't force you, and I won't be so domineering." Master, I have always admired and admired you, and I think you are a different woman. ”

"Amu." Shen did smile, "Maybe you don't know me, I'm just an ordinary woman, an ordinary person." For me, there is no difference between choosing you and choosing Li Luansong, you are both high royal princes, and the gap between me and him also exists between you and me, and I don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"I know you're afraid, I'll wait until you change your mind." Mutam was very stubborn, "Just look at me and give me a chance." ”

"Master." His tone was almost pleading, "Do you really want to leave here, then you might as well consider going to Soto and come with me." Originally, we were going to go, didn't we, but now it's just a little earlier, which makes people not as good as the sky, so let's just go early and harvest early. ”

His proposal made Shen Cheng stunned, but he couldn't think of a reason to refute for a while, so he could only say: "I'll go back and discuss it with Daddy, as for the other ......"

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's get down to business first." Mutam was delighted.

Shen was relieved.

He is very smart, knows how to take a detour, knows how to save the country, as long as Shen can indeed agree to go back with him, then he must have a way to let him stay in Soto and become his princess.

At this time, there were gradually more people outside the shop, and everyone seemed to have come back from watching the ceremony, communicating with each other, and only a few words fell into their ears, and Shen did put together a complete canonization ceremony.

The ceremony ended in a sloppy manner, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince failed to marry, because the bad behavior of Yang Xiao and Yang Zhi's father and daughter was made public, and Yang Zhi became the target of public criticism.

"I really didn't expect that such a noble county lord would be able to do such a bad thing, it's really vicious."

"I can't imagine what Da Ye will be like in the future if she becomes the crown princess."

"Didn't this man kill himself too, let's keep some morality."

……

is another woman who fell in love and lost herself, I heard that Yang Zhi has admired Li Luansong since she was a child...... Shen was indeed a little distracted, but he was also very shocked when he heard Yang Zhi crash into the pillar.

Did Li Luansong still kill her in this way?

Everyone said that there was a river of blood on the spot......

There was an indescribable bitterness in my heart, and I didn't eat the noodles, so I hurriedly pedaled away.

Pretending to be tired, he lay in the room for an afternoon but didn't close his eyes after all. The tragic scene always comes to mind, and my heart suddenly beats.

It wasn't until Shen Fu came to see her that Shen Qu got up.

"Listen to Amu say you're not feeling well." Shen Fu sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to probe her forehead.

"I'm fine." Shen said, "Maybe I was scared." ”

"Because of Yang Zhi?" Shen Fu asked.

Shen Qu nodded, picked at the corners of the quilt with both hands, and did not speak.

"You haven't been able to listen to this kind of thing since you were a child, and whoever dies of a chick or duckling will be uncomfortable for a long time, not to mention ......," Shen Fu said slowly, "After all, there are things in this world that we can't control, look at it." ”

Shen Qu nodded, "I know, these things have nothing to do with me. ”

"Daddy." She looked up, "Are you feeling better?" ”

"It's much better, it's all fat." Shen Fu smiled, "What, you are in a hurry to leave, and the things in your hands are ready?" ”

"Yes, it's all ready, Daddy, Mutam told me that we can go to Soto, what does Daddy think?"

She looked at Daddy, but she actually had a tendency in her heart.

"Daddy thinks it's great." Shen Fu said, "It's just that Daddy doesn't want to go." Daddy is old, you want to go to the mountains and rivers, shop things, business things you decide, Daddy wants to go to old friends to catch up. ”

"Then ......" Shen did hesitate.

"Go ahead, haven't you always had the ambition to take the Shen family's business further, and if you want to broaden your horizons more, then go."

*

At night, the moonlight is sprinkled, and the window is filled with brilliant candle flames.

Yang Zhi woke up and found herself lying on the bed, a tall figure standing in front of the window.

"Daddy, my daddy."

"You're awake." Li Luansong turned around and paced to her bedside, "He's in prison." ”

Two tears immediately fell on Yang Zhi's pale face, and she lifted the quilt and knelt in front of him:

"Your Highness, everything is the idea of the courtier, and please let your Highness let me go of my father and aunt."

Li Luansong took a few steps back, sat down in the circle chair, and said in a cold voice: "The crimes he has committed are far more than you know, he has colluded with courtiers when he is not in the court over the years, and has repeatedly challenged His Majesty to the court, and his sins are unforgivable." ”

"Then ......" Yang Zhi looked at him, "If I die, will I be able to ......?"

"No, you can't."

Li Luansong looked at her, "Even if he dies, he will be whipped." ”

Yang Zhi was stunned, she couldn't stand it anymore, and cried bitterly, "I would have been killed if I knew this, and I had to watch my elderly father and mother suffer like this, I ......"

"Hongu won't let you die." Li Luansong said: "Because some people don't want me to treat you so cruelly." ”

"So His Highness saved me?"

"Yes. However, the death penalty can be avoided from the living crime. “

He didn't say anything else, got up and left, leaving only the guards and two palace maids in the empty palace to look at Yang Zhi, waiting for her fate.

Cining Palace.

The queen mother looked at her son kneeling in front of her, sighed and said:

"We didn't want to interfere in your affairs, and today's situation is really inappropriate. Song'er, you have been too impatient and obstinately doing things recently, if Yang Zhi had an accident on the spot today, have you ever thought that Shen Zhi's life would be better. ”

Li Luansong hung his head and was silent, in fact, the moment Yang Zhi hit the pillar today, he had already reflected on his mistake, even though Yang Xiao and Yang Zhi's father and daughter were really hateful, but the slap given in public was too violent, and it made her uncomfortable more than death.

That night, Li Luansong returned to the study and received a letter from Shen Fu, and then remembered that he didn't seem to see him today.

Opened the letter and chuckled in his heart.

The letter was written in a hurry, and the last word was folded before it was dry, and it was rubbed a little.

The letter said that Shen did plan to go to Soto with Mutam: although it was a plan before, but the time was advanced, and the old minister thought about it and felt that he should talk to His Highness. If Your Highness has something to say, make it clear, I'm afraid that this time will be too long......
