Chapter 70: Be a side concubine

When Shen Yanshu arrived at the side hall where Xiao Lu was, she saw that her uncle was chatting happily with Yan Qinghan, and she frowned and stepped forward.

This guy is really haunted, and he can even meet him here.

Seeing Shen Yanshu, Yan Qinghan raised his head and said, "Miss Shen seems to be very familiar with this place, so she will come back so soon." ”

Shen Yanshu stepped forward and saluted and said, "It's not as good as the prince." ”

"Did you meet just now?" Xiao Lu asked curiously.

Shen Yanshu replied: "Yes, I happened to see the prince hunting birds in the temple just now, and his archery skills are very exquisite. ”

Yan Qinghan: "Speaking of archery, I thought that Miss Shen's imperial archery was very good in the school entrance examination before, and I thought that I could have a chance to learn from it." ”

The prince laughed. Shen Yanshu said, "As far as my half-hung archery skills are concerned, I really don't deserve the praise of the prince as usual." ”

She didn't want to learn any archery skills from him.

"What's the matter, my sister's archery skills are amazing!" Shen Yan'an, who was on the side, said with a throat, as if he was afraid that others would not know, "At that time, my sister shot two arrows at once, and they both hit the bull's-eye! I can see it clearly!"

"Is Miss Shen modest or unwilling to sell the face of this king?" Yan Qinghan said, "When the time comes, together with Shen Gongzi and Xiao Gongzi, it will be a spring." ”

Xiao Lu saw his niece's expression and knew that she didn't want to agree to Yan Qinghan, so he said: "Your Royal Highness King Ling, my niece will go back to Jiangnan with me in a few days, and there are still many things to prepare. ”

Yan Qinghan listened to Xiao Lu's words, and said with a slight surprise: "You want to go back to Jiangnan together?"

"Yes. Xiao Nansheng replied, "After all, my cousin and cousin have not been to Jiangnan for so many years, and my grandmother really wants to see them, so as to relieve the pain of missing my aunt for so many years." ”

Yan Qinghan knew that Shen Yanshu was going to Jiangnan, and this girl clearly promised that she would accompany her on the fifteenth day of every month, and she wanted to run so far away at this time.

And this Xiao Lu was sent by Shen Yanshu to find Chen Yanxi, but if he just wanted to recognize a relative, it would be the same if he asked someone to bring a letter, why did he send Chen Yanxi?

During this time, she was also assassinated by a killer, and even framed in the house, if Chen Yanxi was around, she could deal with it more easily.

It seems a little inexplicable that such a right-hand man is used to deliver letters.

Could it be that she had another purpose?

Shen Yanshu was a little uncomfortable stared at by him like this, and said: "If the prince wants to find someone to learn archery, you can go to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, or directly find Xue Dudu, I heard that he is good at archery, and he will definitely be able to compete with the prince." ”

"Xue Ziqing?" Yan Qinghan said, "He doesn't even give King Ning face, and he may not be able to deal with this king." ”

Shen Yanshu said: "I believe that Xue Dudu is wise, and there is still a clear distinction between sincere fellowship and premeditated calculations." I, too, would not want to be with me if I approached me with a purpose. ”

She had something to say in this, and Yan Qinghan just laughed it off.

Xiao Lu listened to the words of the two of them, but he saw some signs, but he didn't understand that Shen Yanshu and Yan Qinghan seemed to have some kind of holiday.

Two monks walked in from outside the door and brought in a pot of begonia flowers with a short bamboo pole.

One of the little masters stepped forward and said, "Female donor, this is the flower given to the donor by Master Lingyuan in the temple, and the master asked us to tell us that although this flower is not a precious flower, it is the most cherished thing for him." ”

Shen Yanshu glanced at the begonia flower, there was nothing special, probably because of the transplantation, the soil in the flower plate looked very soft.

She stepped forward and said, "Thank you Master Lingyuan for me, I will definitely take good care of this flower." ”

Shen Yan'an stepped forward to take a closer look at this begonia, but he didn't find any clues, he looked at Shen Yanshu and said: "I heard that this Lingyuan master is difficult to see even if he is a relative of the emperor, but now he not only gave a lecture to his sister, but also gave a pot of begonia, which doesn't seem to be as mysterious as the legend." ”

Xiao Lu said: "Maybe the master sees that our Yan Shu is a blessed person with a good heart, so he is different from others." ”

Xiao Nansheng nodded, agreeing with what his father said.

Shen Yanshu just smiled lightly, didn't say anything, and softly instructed Xiyan to look at this begonia flower in person until it was sent back to the mansion.

Yan Qinghan said: "Uncle Xiao and Xiao Gongzi don't seem to come to Chang'an often, why don't you stay for a few more days, so you can understand the customs of Chang'an." ”

Shen Yanshu always felt awkward when he heard Yan Qinghan's words, Uncle Xiao screamed as if he was very familiar with him, it was really shameless.

Xiao Lu said: "When I was young, in order to do business, Chang'an often came, and now most of the silk and satin villages in Chang'an have business dealings with us, so naturally we have to stay for a few days to see the business situation." ”

Now that there are still a few days to go before the fifteenth, Yan Qinghan will naturally not let Shen Yanshu leave Chang'an so easily.

As if knowing what Yan Qinghan was thinking, Shen Yanshu also frowned.

"By the way, there are still some days before my sister and I are born, and it's never too late to set off after our birthday, otherwise it's always not good to spend this birthday on the road. Shen Yan'an thought for a while and said, "Besides, we are all going to be fifteen, and my sister should also hold a ceremony, so naturally she will be at home." ”

Xiao Lu nodded and said, "You can't be sloppy with the ceremony. ”

"Let's discuss these things after we go back, it's not a good place to discuss in the temple. Shen Yanshu interrupted them.

Shen Yanshu didn't care too much about the ceremony, after all, she had experienced it once.

Yan Qinghan looked at her and didn't want to say more, could it be that he was too in the way? Thinking that she was so close to Yan Xiao outside the bamboo forest just now, she didn't know why she felt uncomfortable inexplicably.

That's why he shot them away directly with an arrow, knowing that Yan Xiao's slow reaction might scratch his face, but he still couldn't control it.

However, this woman was still hiding from herself like a plague! Yan Qinghan's eyes slowly darkened.

"By the way, I heard that the Xiao family once had a purple pearl, I don't know if it's true?" Yan Qinghan asked.

Xiao Lu nodded and said: "There is indeed one, it was brought back from the beach by my father's friend at that time, and it is said that it is rare to find one in a hundred years, so it is also more impressive." ”

Yan Qinghan: "Is the purple pearl still there now, if it can, this king is willing to buy it at a high price." ”

"Well. Xiao Lu said, "Then you have to ask Yan Shu, because that purple pearl was used as my sister's dowry, and it should be in the Shen family now." ”

Yan Qinghan's gaze looked at Shen Yanshu again.

Shen Yanshu was confused, she naturally didn't know what Purple Pearl was: "Mother's dowry has been managed by the Meng family or the eldest aunt over the years, and I don't know the specifics." ”

"Silly boy, that was your mother's dowry, and it will be yours in the future. Xiao Lu said.

Shen Yanshu: "Then I'll go back and ask my aunt again." ”

Yan Qinghan: "Then the king is waiting for Miss Shen's news." ”

Yan Qinghan didn't continue to stay in the temple for a long time before leaving, seeing that Shen Yanshu was a little confused, could it be that this person came here to specifically ask her if she had a purple pearl?

Ignoring him, Shen Yanshu and his party also left Min'an Temple.

And Ning Wang Yanxiao, who had already returned to the palace, still had no subsidence.

"This fourth brother, if he wants to die, he just has a breath to hang and look for trouble!" When he thought of Yan Qinghan's face, he was so angry that he panicked!

"Don't be angry, King Ling has long been out of fashion, so you can't be angry with him. Sun Ji stepped forward and said.

He is Yan Xiao's strategist, and he knows his master's character best, that is, he is impulsive and lacks forbearance, but even so, Yan Xiao is still his most optimistic prince, after all, he is a concubine, and there is Hengguo Mansion behind him, and he has the greatest possibility of winning the heir.

Yan Xiao sat on the stool, picked up a cup of tea and was about to send it to his mouth, but when he touched the teacup, it was hot, and he directly threw the cup to the ground.

"Is it so hot that you still have to give this king a drink!

The maid next to her dared not comply, and hurriedly went down to change the new warm tea.

"The prince must not be impatient. Sun Ji said.

Yan Xiao said angrily: "This king is really not going well today, even if he didn't see Master Lingyuan, he was disturbed by the fourth child! But this Shen Yanshu, she can't escape from the palm of this king!"

"Shen Yanshu, isn't that Shen Kangzhi's daughter-in-law......?

"The king will marry her. Yan Xiao said, his eyes flashed with a determined gaze.

Sun Ji was also stunned: "But didn't the queen say that she wants you to marry the county lord of King Jing's Mansion?"

One of the kings with a different surname named by the founding emperor of King Jing, with outstanding merits, holding heavy troops, stationed in the southwest, and over the years King Jing's mansion has not declined, successive kings of Jing have defended the southwest of the Great Zhou, and now his legs were broken in a battle, and the prince of King Jing took care of the affairs of the palace.

If he can get the support of King Jing, most of the ministers in this court will definitely fall to him.

As for King An and King Yu, it's not a problem.

Yan Xiao also had a headache when he thought of this question, he rubbed his forehead and said, "It's not a grievance for the daughter of the official Shangshu to be a side concubine of the palace. ”

"Why does the prince want to marry this Shen Yanshu? If you want to win over the Shen family, you can let the second son of Gu ......"

Before Sun Ji could finish speaking, Yan Xiao glared at him: "The Shen family will not let their daughter marry into the Hengguo Mansion again, not to mention, it is really a waste to give Shen Yanshu to Gu Ziyi." ”

Shen Yanshu is different from other official women, other women see him mostly flattering, but Shen Yanshu is not, and Shen Yanshu is not only talented, but also has a much stronger pattern than ordinary women, if it can be her help, it is naturally good.

"Then what is the prince going to the palace to propose? I'm afraid that the Shen family has some concerns about rushing to propose. Sun Ji asked.

"The king of Ming Japan went into the palace to find the queen mother and asked the queen mother to hold a flower viewing banquet. ”

Yan Xiao already has a measure in his heart.
