5 Move out of the royal palace
Seeing Shen Hanshuang's gentle and calm expression, the princess knew that she was not angry for a while, but really thought it through and decided to leave this palace.
Guessing that Shen Hanshuang might not want to hear her say those clichΓ©s anymore, the princess stopped talking, and explained: "That night, I originally ordered someone to take Chen Lanshuang to Yunhe Hall to settle down. β
"But I didn't expect that she would take the princess's shelf and decide to go to the Hidden Bamboo Courtyard halfway on the grounds that she had lived in her childhood. After Yinzhou moved out of that yard, only the family went to sweep on weekdays, and no one guarded her, so he couldn't stop her outside in time. β
"At that time I had already taken the tranquilizer and slept, and as soon as I woke up the next day, my grandmother told me about it, and then I went to see you."
"As soon as I left your Mingxi Courtyard that day, I heard from my grandmother that you were sorting out the dowry list here. I thought about it for a long time, but I still felt that it should be related to Chen Lanshuang. β
"Is it because of this incident that you are disappointed in Yinzhou?"
The princess stroked the back of Shen Hanshuang's hand and persuaded, "Although Yin Zhou is not gentle and considerate enough, he is by no means such an incomprehensible person. Since he and Chen Lanshuang had no fate back then, it would be impossible in the future. You don't have to look at her in your eyes and make yourself uncomfortable. β
"If I had known that she still had those unclear thoughts, I would not have allowed her to live in the palace."
Shen Hanshuang listened carefully, but didn't say good or bad.
It turned out that she had thought wrong before, and it was not that Zhu Yinzhou intended to arrange Chen Lanshuang to live in Yinzhu Courtyard.
Thinking of the scene when the princess talked about it to herself that day, a trace of doubt rose in Shen Hanshuang's heart, and it quickly extinguished.
The princess must not have misled her on purpose, otherwise she would not have had to explain to her today, she would have just let her leave the house with a misunderstanding of the matter.
And the princess has always treated her and Zhu Yinzhou very well, if you can pretend for a day or two, then it is not easy to get along with her for three years and take care of Zhu Yinzhou for more than ten years, and to consistently disguise herself as a loving mother without revealing anything.
Shen Hanshuang has seen what the relationship between the stepmother and stepson is like, and although Zhu Yinzhou is not intimate with the princess, he is still respectful.
Moreover, the princess had no reason to deliberately separate her and Zhu Yinzhou.
"Mother, Chen Lanshuang is not the main reason." Shen Hanshuang explained in a concise and soft voice.
Even if Chen Lanshuang didn't live in the Hidden Bamboo Courtyard in Zhu Yinzhou?
When she was frightened in the palace but had to support herself calmly, it was Zhu Yinzhou who took the risk to rush to the East Palace to protect Chen Lanshuang, and it was also Zhu Yinzhou who asked the newly lost princess to send the newly lost princess to his home after ending the prince's life with a sword, and there was no explanation for what he missed back then.
In the past three years after getting married, he has been the one who has been silent and has never been warm, and he is also the one who is cold and cold, alienated and indifferent.
They have never held hands, and even when the two were the most intimate, Zhu Yinzhou, who has always been happy, never kissed her lips, let alone hugged her for a moment after everything was over.
When he had had his fill, he would take a bath again and lie down far away from her. Even if Shen Hanshuang also bathed again, it was as if she was such an unapproachable filth.
Throw away when you run out.
How humble is it enough?
Shen Hanshuang didn't want to continue such a cold husband and wife relationship.
Zhu Yinzhou's sending Chen Lanshuang to the palace was just an incentive for her to make up her mind. But how can the one who cuts the thick rope be just the last cut?
Lin Zhi, the deputy commander of the forbidden military camp, gave Zhu Yinzhou a wolf quill, which he often used when he put it in his study. But what Shen Hanshuang sent could only be put in the corner to accumulate dust.
What has also been ignored and treated coldly, is it not just the brush?
It was the blunt knife that grinded her heart over and over again that made Shen Hanshuang disheartened.
Seeing that Shen Hanshuang had made up her mind, the princess reluctantly said: "If my daughter is still alive, I don't know if she can be as good as you." β
"Maybe it shouldn't be," the princess's voice was a little choked unconsciously, "Sometimes when I look at you, I don't think I'm looking at my daughter-in-law, but more like I'm looking at my daughter who didn't give birth." β
"I thought I could watch you have children with Yinzhou and be with you for a lifetime, which can be regarded as making up for my regrets. Unfortunately, I still don't have this blessing. β
"Mother's ......"
Shen Hanshuang looked at the princess with reddish eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable.
Shortly after the princess married Queen Pingnan, she was pregnant with a child. But when she was seven months pregnant, the princess unfortunately had a miscarriage.
The princess lost the baby girl who had already formed, and she herself was almost never rescued. The princess later had Zhu Yinzhou's younger brother Zhu Xun with great difficulty, and the root of the illness did not heal for many years.
Shen Hanshuang's parents went early, and although she had many family members around her who loved her, the title of "mother" was only called the princess after she was five years old.
The princess did treat Shen Hanshuang as if she were her own daughter.
After Shen Hanshuang was five years old, she didn't have the opportunity to wear clothes made by her mother again. Until Shen Hanshuang married into the palace, every time the season changed, the princess would personally make a dress for her in season.
From the selection of fabrics, the design of patterns, to the cutting and sewing, and even the first washing of the new clothes before putting them on, the princess will do it herself, never pretending to others, and this has been the case for three years.
No matter how Shen Hanshuang persuaded her, the princess would insist on this matter, and only said, "This is my intention, no matter how much I can't do, don't refuse."
Shen Hanshuang is the pearl of the Shen family and the Ming family, she has the best food and clothing, and she has no shortage of exquisite and beautiful skirts.
But the princess's dedication to a stitch and thread cannot be bought outside, so Shen Hanshuang cherishes it very much. At this time, she was also wearing a pink lotus pleated dress that the princess had made for her at the beginning of this summer.
It's just that in the future, Shen Hanshuang will no longer have the identity and position to call the princess "mother".
The princess treats her very well, but Zhu Yinzhou treats her really badly.
There are some regrets.
But it was a trade-off she had to make.
People must not be too greedy, and they want and want.
Since she no longer wants the husband and wife relationship with Zhu Yinzhou, she is not qualified to continue to occupy others.
Shen Hanshuang accompanied the princess for a long time, and the princess reluctantly sent her out of the courtyard.
"Mother, just come here." Shen Hanshuang said softly.
She is not good at parting, and after this time, she and the princess should rarely have a chance to see each other again. If the princess kept sending her into the carriage, Shen Hanshuang didn't know how to react.
"Then I'll send it here," said the princess in a gentle voice, "and you can come back to the palace at any time." Even if you and I are no longer mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I look forward to you coming to see me again. β
"Okay." Shen Hanshuang agreed.
She knew very well that she would not have anything to do with Zhu Yinzhou in the future, let alone come to his back house. But she still couldn't bear to refuse the princess.
On the way back to Mingxi Courtyard slowly, Shen Hanshuang remembered that Princess Fang Cai said that she regretted that she couldn't watch her have children with Zhu Yinzhou, but Shen Hanshuang was very happy.
Fortunately, although he unconsciously moved his heart to the cold-hearted Zhu Yinzhou, he was never so confused that he wanted to use a child to bind him and himself forever.
On the second day after getting married, Shen Hanshuang, who learned that Zhu Yinzhou already belonged to her, asked her grandmother for the harmless medicine of Shunzi Soup. This allows her to leave Zhu Yinzhou without any worries now.
Speaking of which, a woman has not had an heir for three years after she got married, and if she is placed in another family, she may face a lot of pressure from all sides.
But in the palace, the prince and the princess not only never urged her, but also never even mentioned the matter of the heir.
At the banquet outside, if someone mentions it pointedly, openly and secretly wants to stab Shen Hanshuang, the princess will immediately defend her and not let those gossips provoke her to be pure.
Although her body is her own, and whether to have children is also her own decision, Shen Hanshuang is still very grateful for what the princess has done for her.
As for Zhu Yinzhou......
He shouldn't have known that Shen Hanshuang had been taking the Child-Avoiding Soup, and he had never cared if she was willing to have children with him.
After all, she wasn't the wife he was expecting.
She has never been pregnant so far, so I wish Yinzhou should be happy?
Because of this, there are fewer obstacles for him and his sweetheart to continue their relationship.
In this way, there is no other tie, and she and him should be able to get together and disperse.
After Shen Hanshuang returned to Mingxi Courtyard, Chunye began to instruct the family to move the sorted things to the carriage outside the mansion one by one.
Shen Hanshuang decided to reconcile with Yinzhou, and only Chunye, the princess and the grandmother beside the princess knew about it in the mansion.
And Shen Hanshuang used to go back to Luoyang Ming's house at this time every year to worship his parents, and then return to Chang'an after his parents' death. When the family members saw those wooden boxes, they only thought that the princess was going to bring more things back to Luoyang this year.
Taking in the movements in Shen Hanshuang's courtyard, after turning the corner, Chen Lanshuang, who did not show up, suddenly asked the maid beside her: "You say, do I want to explain something to the princess?" β
When the maid hesitated and didn't know how to answer, Chen Lanshuang shook her head silently again.
Whether Shen Hanshuang sulked because of her arrival or deliberately wanted to indulge in it, Chen Lanshuang had her own selfish intentions.
Even if Shen Hanshuang only left the palace temporarily, the benefits outweighed the disadvantages for her.
"The Crown Princess......"
"The crown prince is dead," Chen Lanshuang interrupted the maid in a deep voice, "I am no longer the crown princess." β
After a pause, she said to herself: "But maybe, I can be the crown princess again......"
Chen Lanshuang's voice was hidden in the dark.
She had been standing behind the corner that was rarely visited.
It wasn't until she saw Shen Hanshuang being helped into the carriage by the maid and confirmed that the group was heading towards the Shen Mansion that Chen Lanshuang breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and the slender fingers on the wall slowly tightened.
Sure enough, she wasn't without a chance of winning.
Thinking of something, Chen Lanshuang said to the maid beside her: "Let people go and deliver a message to the prince, and say that I don't know if it's because I'm angry with me, the princess went back to her parents' house today." β
"Today I will move out of the palace and go to the city to find a reliable inn to settle in. I only want to protect myself, I have no intention of affecting their relationship between husband and wife, and I ask the prince to take the princess home as soon as possible. β
The maid carefully wrote it down, and she heard that the crown princess was also trying to capture her, and couldn't help but say, "If the prince doesn't keep us......"
Chen Lanshuang took a breath, and then said firmly: "No." β
"With such a nature, he shouldn't have much affection for Shen Hanshuang. Moreover, the prince's rebellion has not yet been completely revealed, and he can tell which is more important. β
