When she was still in the Pingnan Palace, the grandmother beside the queen noticed very early that Shen Hanshuang's dowry maid would sometimes go to the pharmacy to grab medicine in person.

The queen secretly asked people to pick up the medicine residue dumped in Mingxi Courtyard and asked the famous doctors who were familiar with the palace. I learned that although it was a prescription for the avoidance soup, it was not only harmless to the woman's body, but also had the effect of recuperation.

The famous doctor said that the prescription was extremely rare, almost lost, and he only had a broken copy in his hand, but he didn't expect that there were still people who had a complete prescription.

The queen guessed at that time that the prescription should have been given to her by Shen Hanshuang's grandmother of the Luoyang Ming family.

Knowing that the medicine did not hurt the body, the queen did not interfere.

"I originally thought that your husband and wife have a stable relationship, and there will always be a day when you will consider having a child, and you don't have to rush it."

"But I never thought that before that day came, you would be reconciled."

The queen had some regrets.

She once thought that if she could watch Shen Hanshuang and Zhu Yinzhou have children and accompany each other for a lifetime, it would be considered to comfort her pain of losing her daughter many years ago.

But Shen Hanshuang has her own ideas, and the queen will not put pressure on her just because of her regrets and expectations.

Seeing that Zhu Yinzhou was silent, the queen sighed silently in her heart, and asked him gently: "You tell me seriously, do you don't want children, or do you not want Hanshuang?" ”

Zhu Yinzhou regained his senses, but he couldn't answer this, so he could only say: "She never mentioned this matter to me." ”

Hearing this, the queen also guessed a few points, and reminded: "You have already left once, if you have the intention to save yourself from Luoyang on this trip, there are some things that should be clarified, and you still have to figure it out." ”

"Whether you want to separate for a while, or whether you haven't really had a heart-to-heart relationship in the past three years, you all have to figure it out."

"A marriage, if it is completed, may be just one more wife in the back house for the man; If not, maybe it's just one less person around. ”

"But for women, it's much more than that."

Zhu Yinzhou should be: "Erchen understands. ”

The queen said earnestly: "If you can't give Hanshuang what she wants, you can't let her continue to wait by your side, stay up, and become disappointed day by day." ”

Zhu Yinzhou unconsciously pressed his eyebrows.

Wait.

Stay up.

Growing disappointment.

Since getting married for three years, does Shen Hanshuang feel like this?

On the way back to the palace after leaving the palace, Zhu Yinzhou has been pondering.

He never knew that Shen Hanshuang was taking the Avoiding Zi decoction. Because she never said it.

But what the queen mother, who often recuperated in the courtyard, could discover, as her husband, was unaware of.

Just like Shen Hanshuang, she didn't know that even if she didn't have the prescription given by her grandmother, she wouldn't be pregnant.

Because Zhu Yinzhou had taken the child-avoiding medicine used by the man before the wedding night, he would not have children unless he took the antidote again.

Shen Hanshuang was not yet sixteen years old when she got married, she was still too young, and premature pregnancy of a fetus would cause serious damage to the woman's body.

Zhu Yinzhou originally thought that in a few years, if Shen Hanshuang was willing, the two of them would think about having a child. If she doesn't want to, then she doesn't. He did not marry her for the sake of an heir.

In order to avoid accidents and prevent Shen Hanshuang from drinking bitter medicine, Zhu Yinzhou found a man's child-avoiding medicine before the wedding and took it himself.

Zhu Yinzhou originally planned that if Shen Hanshuang was worried about the heir, he would explain the matter to her and tell her that they didn't have to rush to have a child in the future. Otherwise, there is no need to deliberately mention it.

He always thought that Shen Hanshuang didn't care about whether she was pregnant or not in the past three years, but had the intention of going with the flow.

didn't know that it was actually because she had been taking the child decoction herself.

Why did Shen Hanshuang start to deliberately avoid children three years ago?

Or do you just don't want to have children too early, or do you just don't want to have children with him?

Zhu Yinzhou didn't have any obsession with the matter of his heir, but for no reason, he felt a dull pain in a corner of his heart.

The sudden unfamiliar feeling made Zhu Yinzhou pause, and his expression was empty.

Why did he suddenly feel a little sad?

*

Luoyang City, Ming Mansion.

Shen Hanshuang's maternal grandmother invited the female doctor Fang Shi to diagnose her pulse.

As soon as Fang Shifu withdrew his hand, the old lady hurriedly asked, "How?" Is my granddaughter all right? ”

"Look at the old lady's anxiety, she can't wait for a moment."

The female doctor Fang had received the grace of the Ming family when she was young, and she had been taking care of the old lady's body for many years, and the two had a familiar relationship, so there were not so many rules and politeness between words.

The old lady smiled and said, "My own child must be in pain." ”

She always remembered that Shen Hanshuang wrote back when she first got married, and asked her for the prescription for the child-avoiding soup.

It was inconvenient for her to interfere in the affairs of the juniors, but every time Shen Hanshuang came to Luoyang later, the old lady would ask the Fang family to check her pulse to confirm that the decoction that Shen Hanshuang had been taking for a long time would not cause any damage to her body.

Fang naturally understood what the old lady cared about, and said with relief: "This girl's body is very good, you are distressed, but don't worry too much and hurt yourself." ”

Hearing this, the old lady finally put her mind at ease.

Fang asked Shen Hanshuang again, "When was the last time you took that medicine?" ”

"The seventh day of June." Shen Hanshuang replied softly.

Fang Shi nodded, and said mildly: "Since you don't need to avoid the child, you don't have to drink the medicine anymore, I will prescribe you another prescription for self-cultivation." ”

In order to keep Shen Hanshuang from living in seclusion, let alone restricting himself by the rules of filial piety, the Ming family did not deliberately hide it. Many people in Luoyang City already knew about Shen Hanshuang's reconciliation with the new prince.

Shen Hanshuang agreed, and asked the female doctor to take a look at her grandmother.

After carefully diagnosing the old lady's pulse, Zhengse advised: "Don't be greedy, don't drink cold wine in private." ”

The old lady glanced at Shen Hanshuang, and her confidence was a little inadequate: "I didn't drink too much......

Shen Hanshuang held her grandmother's hand and said to the female doctor seriously: "I look at my grandmother and never allow her to drink secretly." ”

"When you come back for a long stay this time, the old lady is happy and should be willing to listen to you."

Knowing that the old lady was only willing to listen to her granddaughter's words, Fang Shi deliberately said: "If she doesn't listen, you will go back to Chang'an earlier, and leave her alone." ”

The old lady laughed and said, "You know how to use my granddaughter to pinch me." ”

Before Shen Hanshuang got married, she always lived in Chang'an in March and Luoyang in March, alternately accompanying the two old people.

After she got married, although she often returned to Luoyang, she would not stay for too long every time. The old lady was very worried in her heart, but she never showed it in front of her, so as not to make her sad.

Now that the child she watched grow up finally return home, the old lady was happy, but she was worried that after Shen Hanshuang and Zhu Yinzhou left, there was still something hidden in her heart.

In the past three years, until the seventh day of the sixth month, the day before the rebel party forced the palace, Shen Hanshuang was still taking the medicine of avoiding children.

This not only shows that she and Zhu Yinzhou are often close, but also shows that she has never been able to get what she wants, and she can't get Zhu Yinzhou's heart, so she doesn't want to add an inseparable connection with him.

Others may think that Shen Hanshuang's decision to leave came too suddenly, but the old lady knew that she was just getting more and more disappointed little by little, and finally gave up completely.

is only intimate on the bed, but the heart is too far apart, how can such a husband and wife relationship last for a long time?

It was only after the Fang clan left that the old lady asked Shen Hanshuang in a warm voice: "Are you really dead set on that person?" ”

Shen Hanshuang paused, his tone was as usual, and he said with a soft smile on his lips: "It's all over." I'm light now, so that's good. ”

This is the first time that Shen Hanshuang's grandmother has mentioned this matter since she returned to Luoyang. She knew that her grandmother was worried about her, so she didn't hide it.

She had indeed let go.

After walking out of the world where Zhu Yinzhou was there, Shen Hanshuang recalled that before she liked him, she actually had a very easy life.

There are no involuntary sorrows, with family and friends as companions, life is plain and happy, and it goes smoothly.

Seeing that Shen Hanshuang didn't seem to be forced to smile, the old lady said: "The past is over, don't take it to heart anymore." ”

"Grandmother will help you find some better sons, better than your grandfather's old-fashioned vision."

"Even if you don't care about marriage, it's good to go out and get to know more people, and you don't have to accompany my wife all day long."

Luoyang is a city of affluence, not only with many new things, but also with open folk customs, and normal exchanges between men and women are not indispensable.

The old lady felt that her granddaughter was the best age, and she could live more freely, just like before marrying into the Pingnan Palace.

Shen Hanshuang leaned on her grandmother's shoulder affectionately, and said softly: "I want to be by your side every day, can you not drive me away." ”

The old lady was soft-hearted, her eyebrows were gentle, and she raised her hand to gently stroke Shen Hanshuang's long black hair.

She was so old that she couldn't get up when she lay down. She only hopes that Shen Hanshuang can live well, and she doesn't care about the rest.

Whether it is the prince or the prince, the palace or the palace, even if it is a good marriage that everyone wants, as long as Shen Hanshuang doesn't want it, the old lady will follow her wishes.

In the future, if Shen Hanshuang still has the heart to find someone to accompany her for the rest of her life, the old lady will support all her decisions.

If she no longer wants to touch the love between men and women, the Ming Mansion will always be her home.

After the old lady took a nap, Shen Hanshuang returned to her Mingxi Courtyard.

Whether she lives in the courtyard of the Shen family or the Ming family, it is called "Mingxi Courtyard".

After Shen Hanshuang's father and grandfather had a big quarrel over resignation, they left the Shen family with her mother and her infant her.

Shen Hanshuang grew up in Luoyang's maternal grandmother's house, and since then, the Mingxi Courtyard, which is closest to her parents' courtyard, is hers.

Later, her grandfather also ordered someone to arrange an identical Mingxi Courtyard for her in Shen Mansion. In this way, when she leaves Luoyang and returns to live in Shen Mansion, she will not feel anything unaccustomed.

And on the day Shen Hanshuang married into the palace, she found that the happy house was also in the Mingxi Courtyard.

Not only are the names the same, but there is no difference in the orientation and appearance of each room, as well as the arrangement of potted plants and vases. There is even a clear stream that winds around the courtyard.

On the day of the wedding, Shen Hanshuang, who was full of expectations for this marriage, thought that the Mingxi Courtyard in the palace was Zhu Yinzhou's arrangement, and thought that although he looked cold, he was still delicate and gentle inside.

It's just that on the second day, she learned that she was just the result of wishing Yinzhou to retreat.

She didn't ask him in shame.

Later, I heard the princess mention that the Mingxi Courtyard of the Pingnan Mansion was completely restored according to the drawings sent by the Shen Mansion, and Shen Hanshuang knew that his grandfather should have made arrangements in advance.

No matter how old she is a child, or if she is married to a wife, only her family will care about whether she is comfortable or not.

As for Zhu Yinzhou......

Even if he had these gentle thoughts, he wouldn't be to her.

Fortunately, after withdrawing from this marriage that should not have started and did not belong to her, the happiness she originally had was still in place and still belonged to her, just like the original Mingxi Courtyard.
