Lonely non-good minister

It was only when she said this that the servant understood, and hurriedly responded to the call to deal with it.

Xiao Shen glanced at the hall, and didn't bother to stay here dryly, and led the people back to her room first.

After all this tossing, the sky turned a little gray, they went back unhurriedly, Chunyang supported Xiao Shen and asked in a low voice: "The emperor explained this, and the empress still wants to tell the empress?"

"Even if the queen didn't come, she knows everything about the palace, so why should I talk too much?" Xiao Shen had other things in mind: "I'm only worried about my A Yuan now, the late emperor's arrangement is obviously to win her over. At the Duke's Mansion, I was originally worried about how to hide the past if the marriage really happened. I thought that the national funeral would be delayed for three years. A Yuan could also accumulate strength by virtue of this marriage, but now the emperor is unwilling to let her marry the Duke's Mansion. There is something to do with it, why is that?"

Chun Yang said: "Isn't it because the emperor thinks that the young master doesn't listen to his arrangements, so he is worried that the prince will be threatened by His Royal Highness if Mu Guogong helps the young master?"

"It's reasonable for you to think so."

They went back to the dormitory, the maid was going to wait on her for a while, Xiao Shen didn't feel sleepy, so she asked Chunyang to dress herself, ate something to pad her belly, after a short rest, she went to the dormitory where Emperor Hong Ming stayed temporarily .

Emperor Hong Ming didn't wake up until after noon, he ate something, and his spirit recovered a lot. When he learned that Song Zheng hadn't been caught yet, his face was gloomy and frightening. look up.

"The palace is only so big, so many people can't defend against an assassin. I've seriously injured him, but you still can't find them. What's the use of you, a bunch of trash?"

The deputy commander of the imperial army was so frightened that his head was covered with cold sweat, he lowered his head and his lips were trembling, unable to speak a word.

Emperor Hong Ming glanced at him coldly: "Keep looking, if you want to see people, if you want to see dead bodies, if you can't be caught, you should come and see him."

"Yes." The deputy commander of the forbidden army hurriedly retreated.

Xiao Shen was holding the medicine at the side, and after he finished speaking, he sent the cool medicine over. Emperor Hong Ming drank it in one gulp, his expression still ugly: "Where is the prince?"

"Back to the emperor, the fire has been extinguished, and His Royal Highness is checking." After speaking, the servant rushed to invite Song Chun.

Xiao Shen casually handed over the tea for rinsing mouth, and Emperor Hong Ming took a sip directly, obviously he was very upset.

Song Chun came soon, and Emperor Hong Ming said in a deep voice: "Mu's reported Song Shu's liaison with others to conspire against others, and specifically mentioned witchcraft casting curses and assassinations. Now Song Zheng's assassination is proof, which shows that they have turned against them. Heart, send the message back quickly, and execute them as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"The Mu family died because of the denunciation. I should appease Mu Guogong. Song Yuan's marriage can be planned later. You can choose a marriage for him. If it is you, you have few descendants and only one concubine. It is also appropriate to have a second wife, so let's choose Mu Guogong's granddaughter." Emperor Hong Ming's expression was gloomy.

Song Chun and Xiao Shen's frowned together. No matter how you look at it, this arrangement is all about him, the eldest brother, robbing his brother's woman. Isn't this a joke for outsiders?

"Father, although the marriage between Yuan'er and the daughter of the Duke's Mansion has not been clearly decided, is this arrangement inappropriate?" Song Chun was very against such things as robbing people of marriage.

He quickly took a look at Xiao Shen, and the memories hidden in the depths of his mind also emerged. When he followed Queen Shen to Yuyang to visit relatives, he was the one who met Xiao Shen first, and he was the one who was tempted first. He enthusiastically told Queen Shen that he had met a girl, and he liked it very much. He was so excited when he was young, and he still remembers the excitement at that time.

He knew very well that women in the boudoir were very restrained, and he didn't dare to destroy her reputation, and he didn't dare to mention to anyone who was the one who moved his heart. He only happily asked Queen Shen to promise that he would come to ask after he finished the coronation ceremony. The other party's meaning, and then every day he excuses to ask his grandmother to take a look at her from a distance, and every day he looks at her, he has endless motivation to ride and shoot horses.

After returning from Yuyang, he obediently accumulated military merits in the army. He thought that the other party was some distant cousin of his, and thought that the family background would not be too high, so he worked extra hard. He only needed to prove to his parents that he did not need With the help of the father-in-law's family, she can achieve what she wants, and can use this to change her position as a regular wife.

As a result, when I returned home half a year later, the family said that my father had another concubine, who was his mother's sister from the same clan. He didn't care about it at the time, until he saw the girl he was thinking of in Queen Shen's room, and then he knew. This is her mother's sister from the same clan, who is now her father's concubine and has just been found out to be pregnant.

Only then did he realize that Yuyang's family visit was just a pretense, and that so many girls from the Shen family were invited to live in their grandfather's house for a long time. The favor of the concubine, only in this way can he consolidate his position as the eldest son and prevent other brothers from threatening him.

Her parents are old and have no official position, and her younger brother can't take on the family's important responsibilities, but she is beautiful and graceful, and has read poetry and books. Such a little Shen family is in line with Shen's wishes in every way. She doesn't need her to come forward. Whether Xiao Shen is willing or not, she has to enter the mansion as a concubine for her parents and younger brother.

That year, he stayed in the army for a long time and was unwilling to go home, until he had to recuperate due to injuries before returning home. At that time, Song Yuan had just turned one year old, and a cripple with injured legs and a toddler were also It took him a long time to accept this younger brother who was 17 years younger than him.

But now, Emperor Hong Ming wanted him to grab Song Yuan's marriage, so wouldn't Song Yuan end up in the same state of mind as he was back then?

"What's wrong with not having a clear intention of getting married?" Emperor Hong Ming didn't mind telling the truth in front of Xiao Shen: "Although Duke Mu is old, he has many disciples and old officials, and the descendants of the Mu family also There are no dudes, this is a good marriage, it would be a waste for Song Yuan."

Speaking of the last sentence, he deliberately stared at Xiao Shen, wanting to see her reaction, but Xiao Shen looked at him calmly with a blank face, which made Hong Mingdi a little bit self-defeating.

Song Chun's tone was a bit harsh: "I'm nearly forty years old, it's really inappropriate to accept a young girl who has just reached the age of ji as Liangdi, Wei Ge is now fifteen, I really don't have the heart to accept a concubine and have children, so please ask my father The emperor took it back."

"I have made up my mind." Emperor Hong Ming did not allow for discussion.

The more Song Chun protected Song Yuan, the more he refused to agree.

The atmosphere between their father and son became intense, and Xiao Shen stood up slowly to salute: "The emperor is very considerate, Mu Guogong is the elder of the three dynasties, it is wronged to let his granddaughter marry Yuan'er, and she should marry her now." My mind is on sharing the emperor's worries, and the marriage is not in a hurry."
