After being reborn, she became the richest man without being a queen

Chapter 159
The queen continued while the iron was hot: "Your Majesty thinks something is wrong? The concubine sees that Mrs. Shen is so outstanding, and she feels sorry for her for a while... If your majesty disagrees, the concubine can only leave regrets."

Xue Yu picked up the wine glass, lowered his head, but looked at Shen Qingling from the corner of his eye, and blinked at Shen Qingling.

After receiving Xue Yu's intention, Shen Qingling realized that Xue Yu was obviously mediating for the empress to spare no effort.

With the queen's plea to advance by retreating, the emperor couldn't say anything more, so he just gave Shen Qingling a princess, and also rewarded gold, silver, satin and a lot of jade articles.

This night's private banquet suddenly became a little difficult.

Between cups and toasts, the emperor's face never changed.

Shen Qingling had no choice but to be cautious throughout the whole process, she was worried that she would be the outlet for the emperor's displeasure, and she was also worried that the originally pretty good ending would turn into a tragedy.

Fortunately, the emperor did not attack.

When I left the palace, the cold moon hung high and the wind was howling.

Xue Yu gently held Shen Qingling's hand in front of others, and said softly: "I have asked His Majesty for his will, and when all the dust settles, His Majesty will propose a marriage for us."

He was really too afraid that his parents would make things difficult for Shen Qingling, so instead of letting Shen Qingling bear the challenges that he shouldn't have to bear, it's better for him to put down his body and ask for a favor.

"What's the price?" Shen Qingling asked.

There was silence everywhere, and Xue Yu also fell silent.

The emperor was never a benevolent monarch, and anyone who wanted something from him often lost something more important.This point, Shen Qingling had already clearly realized it when she was the concubine of Shou Wang.

For example, the prince, such as Li Yu.

When the crown prince got the position of crown prince, he lost the freedom and warmth he had originally. Countless pairs of eyes stared at him day and night, preventing him from doing anything against the name of crown prince.

The same is true for Li Yu later.

Li Yu's only luck is probably——

When he was appointed as the crown prince, the siblings around him had already been beheaded, and those who were assigned were assigned.The emperor couldn't find anyone in Bianjing who could check and balance Li Yu, so he finally gave in and didn't bother Li Yu anymore.

The two turned into the alley in front of Xue's house and remained relatively silent.

After a long time, Xue Yu sighed and said, "The pirates. It is only a matter of time before King Shou pacifies the northern border. Your Majesty hopes that I can deal with the pirates on the east sea during this period."

As usual, this is not difficult.

But today's imperial court has no money and no hands, what can Xue Yu use to fight against the bandits?

Shen Qingling's complexion suddenly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he said coldly: "Ping Haikou is not in a hurry, why did His Majesty bring it up at this time? What officials in the court came forward to stop this rush to help Yongguan? If you don’t clean up those things, why do you waste your energy?”

Hearing what Shen Qingling said, a warm current surged in Xue Yu's heart.

Rubbing the catkin in his palm, he pursed his lips and comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, I won't have to do anything, and nothing like Yongguan will happen again, I promise you."

state--

The night watchman knocked on his clapper and passed by.

The moon disappeared into the clouds, the night was dim, and the two people in the alley were not found.

"I can't control you." Shen Qingling withdrew her hand, shrugged and said: "The pirate is not the only one like Liu Yu, if he dies, the bandits under his hands will definitely be transferred to other people's hands. The difficulties and Dangerous, I don’t need to say more, you should know it in your heart.”

Xue Yu nodded.

Seeing how well-behaved he was, Shen Qingling didn't want to speak stiffly, so she gave him some more instructions and sent him into Xue's house.

Originally Xue Yu was going to send Shen Qingling back to the inn, because Shen Qingling came back in a hurry and didn't even think about going back to Shen's house, so Xue Yu booked an inn for her as soon as she entered the city.

But Shen Qingling insisted on going alone, Xue Yu couldn't resist her, so he could only agree.

Here, after watching Xue Yu enter the gate of Xue's house, Shen Qingling did not go back to the inn directly, but took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the quiet Shen's house.

Xu Yan dared to mess around during the day, and it was Shen Zeng's instruction to keep things in order. He wanted to use this to force Shen Qingling to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.Regarding this, even though Shen Qingling was unwilling, she couldn't say a word on the surface.

Filial piety alone is enough to make Shen Qingling unable to stand up.

However, as long as Shen Qingling is unwilling, then she has a way to make her wish come true.

Familiar with Shen Zeng's courtyard all the way, Shen Qingling laid down on the roof cautiously.She carefully removed a tile, turned her head to look down, and saw Shen Zeng sitting in front of the desk with a sad face.

Xu Yan is also there.

"Master, it's time for you to go to bed. You have to go to court tomorrow. If you don't rest, where will your energy come from?" Xu Yan was very considerate, and she gently rubbed Shen Zeng's forehead with both hands, her voice was melodious.

Shen Zeng frowned, and said: "You have also seen His Majesty's will. Now that she has become the princess, the marriage is not up to you and me to decide. Maybe there will be trouble at home in the future."

The fact that the daughter of the Shen family who was raised in the countryside was named the princess had already spread throughout Chang'an at night.

Although she is just a Qingling princess who has no fief and no special title, she is the emperor's holy mouth after all, which is completely different from the ordinary Bianjing noble daughter.

"My lord is worrying too much." Xu Yan said with a smile: "If Your Majesty really appreciates her, why doesn't he give her a special title?"

Regarding this, Shen Zeng did not speak.

The emperor's thoughts, those of them who are courtiers, will never be able to guess.

Seeing that Shen Zeng's brows did not relax, Xu Yan continued: "I heard that she has gained some fame in Chuyongguan with that Xue Yu, and her daughter's family dances with knives and guns all day long. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a good marriage in the future." , there is no need for us to bother about her..."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Zeng squinted at Xu Yan with cold eyes, forcing Xu Yan to hold back all the words behind her.

Shen Zeng brushed Xu Yan's hand away, and said unhappily: "Don't forget, we haven't given him an explanation for the King of Shou. People are separated from each other. If we want to join forces, we must let the King of Shou trust us." , rely on us."

After finishing speaking, Shen Zeng got up and strode out of the house, leaving Xu Yan standing there alone with a sullen expression.

Shen Qingling on the roof had had enough of watching the show, reached out and took out a small paper bag from her bosom, unfolded it and blew it into the house.Then she threw another stone into the room, causing Xu Yan in the room to fold her arms in fright.

"Who?!"

Xu Yan looked around.

Seeing the medicine powder slowly falling around Xu Yan, Shen Qingling said quietly: "It's me, ma'am, don't you remember me? I'm Xiuya~ Didn't you say that you want to take me back to Chang'an? Is it worthy of my sister?"

The word "xiuya" made Xu Yan's face turn pale.

The candles in the house were extinguished by the cool wind at this time, and the house was suddenly dark, only the moonlight outside was cast on the window.
