Because there happened to be no one around at that time, Sheng Weiqiao saluted Princess Qingfang and said directly: "Brother went to the wrong noodle stall to buy them some hydrangea lanterns. He won't be back until later."
In fact, Sheng Weiqiao originally persuaded Sheng Suihe to focus on his studies and not follow him because the Spring Festival was only a few days away. However, Sheng Suihe was worried and the two sisters went out, saying that just because the Spring Festival was around the corner, they would not be able to sharpen their guns in battle again. If it doesn't help, it's better to walk around and relax. If you are relaxed and relaxed, you will be more confident in the east field.
Sheng Weiqiao felt that it made sense, but he couldn't stand Sheng Weiwu's entanglement, so he agreed to accompany him.
But I didn't expect that I would meet Princess Qingfang again, and I would regret it very much.
After hearing what she said, Princess Qingfang was obviously startled. She moved her steps, as if she wanted to go east to see Sheng Suihe. However, she forced herself to stop after taking a step, and said with a forced smile: "He is a prostitute, and he is looking for Sheng Sheng." What are you doing, sir? But the private room that his family booked is also there, and he bumped into me by chance. Thinking of our chance to meet each other, he just said hello to us."
"Princess." Sheng Weiqiao patted Sheng Weiwu on the head and motioned for her to follow Dongren into the private room first, and stayed outside alone, staring at Princess Qingfang's somewhat distracted expression, and said lightly, "Since Princess remembers our We met once, and I must remember that his brother asked to participate in the Spring Festival at the beginning of February?"
After hearing those words, Princess Qingfang's face turned red. She was at a loss for a while, and then whispered: "He has no ill intentions."
Sheng Weiqiao also whispered: "After tomorrow night, even if they come out to watch the lights again, they will not come there. After all, he doesn't want his brother's future to be harmed because of their playfulness... Since the princess can be there, I met them twice by chance. You should know that he once went to Zheng Guogong’s Mansion to congratulate Miss Meng Fourteenth on her birth!"
She was quite angry at that time, because looking at Princess Qingfang's appearance, she clearly regarded Sheng Suihe as a relative. Even if she was not completely sure that Sheng Suihe was his biological brother, she probably had strong doubts.
Otherwise, due to repeated "accidental encounters", it can be said that in those few months, people all over the city gathered in Tianjie to watch the lanterns. The location of that restaurant determined the wealth and luxury of the Dongya room there, which was just the right time to celebrate. Princess Fang and the Sheng family both used this place as a base for viewing lanterns, so it was inevitable to look up but not look down.
But every time Princess Qingfang met, Qiu Mo took the initiative to chase after Sheng Weiqiao to say hello, and Qiu Mo would stand outside and wait for Sheng Weiqiao to say hello to her... The two of them were not acquainted to that point, and the gap in status also determined Princess Qingfang's decision. This move was abnormal. What did she mean by doing that
Knowing that after Sheng Weiqiao and the others came to Chang'an, they got closer to the Meng family because of Queen Mother Meng. The Meng family even planned to open the door to Sheng Sleeping He in the spring...
As the biological daughter of King Gaomi, Princess Qingfang is not a concubine like Princess Deping, who was rejected by both Prince Gaomi and Concubine Mo. She has been in contact with the Sheng family again and again. Even the Meng family is a fool. Woolen cloth? Do you think Meng is blind? !
Moreover, the princess has never lived abroad, and she has never married in Chang'an even after leaving the palace. Then she would have ups and downs in her heart, and she would look restless. Why don't you think about it, if Sheng Suihe is really living outside the palace of Gaomi? The heir... On the eve of the exam, he bumped into Princess Qingfang again and again. How could he feel calm? !
Doesn't that mean that he doesn't want Sheng Sleeping Crane to function normally in the spring? !
If Princess Qingfang is the same age as Sheng Weiwu next year, Sheng Weiqiao will probably say that she is young and impulsive.
But the princess's two children are probably older than Sheng Weiwu. At that age, are they so ignorant that they can't help themselves? !
To put it bluntly, Sheng Weiqiao believed she did it on purpose!
The girl thought angrily: With such a family, no wonder Sheng Suihe refused to admit that he was related to them!
"... Before we entered the building, did we see the small stall on the wrong side?" Princess Qingfang heard the doubts and complaints in her words, her face was red and uncertain for a while, and she said in a solemn voice, "Then his natal family It was set up by my mother and concubine.”
Sheng Weiqiao was startled when he heard this and blurted out: "The third son of Gaomi Palace...?"
"Brothers from his natal family of his generation were all descended from 'Qing', and his name was 'Qinghuo'. He... He used to like the deer tendons made by his mother-in-law the most." Princess Qingfang's eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't use them anymore. The policeman's voice said, "Since fourteen years ago... every year before the Lantern Festival, the mother-in-law would take out money from her dowry, cook herself, and give away ten thousand cups of deer tendons at the lantern festival, just to keep him safe." ! "
"From purchasing, cooking, to the people sent out to give alms, the mother and concubine do it all by themselves, and never use a person or a penny from the palace!"
"It turns out that the deer tendons were made by the Princess herself?" Sheng Weiqiao looked at Princess Qingfang who was trying to endure it. For a moment, she said calmly, "Then are they really going to endure it... Bu Nao, I have heard for a long time that the direct descendants of the Gaomi Palace The third son is no longer alive, so I would like to ask the princess to express my condolences!"
With that said, he stopped looking at Princess Qingfang's face and turned around and entered the private room.
Outside the private room, looking at the empty corridor, Princess Qingfang smiled to herself. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly focused her eyes and looked at the stairway to one side. At some point, she picked up a few hydrangeas in her legs. The sleeping crane under the lamp walked quietly away.
At this moment, the two people's eyes met, and Princess Qingfang's whole body trembled. She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but not knowing where to start. However, Sheng Suihe looked calm as usual, and said lightly towards her legs: "Hello, Princess!"
So he opened the door of the private room where Sister Sheng Weiqiao was and went in.
Princess Qingfang, who was in the corridor, stood alone for a while before leaving sadly.
"Am I going to see him again?" A moment later, in a private room not far from the private room where Sheng Suihe and his party were, Huaiyuan Hou Yuanliu was wearing an azure brocade robe and iron legs, looking a little bored. Looking out the window at the lights.
He is two years older than Princess Qingfang. He will be in his thirties next year and can be the husband-in-law of the daughter of King Gaomi. His appearance is not bad, he was born with a full body, tiger eyes and sharp eyebrows, and a short beard trimmed to the east of his chin. They are neatly arranged and look graceful without losing the majesty that a prince should have.
When he saw his wife coming in, he waved away and said with some helplessness and displeasure, "The affair is such a big deal. I don't think we can be sure at all even if there are a few pieces of evidence from Nanfeng County!" I am in contact with him so frequently now. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if I find out I made a mistake in the future? Even if I'm not mistaken, the female family members who came to Chang'an with him had little contact with us, but they had some close contacts with the Meng family, so much so that the Meng family regarded him as a target to win over and planned to win over and cultivate them. … If I bump into him, wouldn’t that cause him trouble? "
"Why doesn't he know those truths?" Princess Qingfang listened and smiled bitterly. She walked beside him, turned over the table and poured herself a cup of tea with a tea set with a secret color glaze depicting herons and lotus. Fang Youyou said Sighing, he said, "But I also know what happened in the past two months... The one in the palace is not the mother and concubine's biological child. The father and the king don't care, and he is too lazy to care. After all, whether he is drunk or not is his brother. After so many years Living in the Zhao Mansion, even if his grandmother, uncle, and aunt are not mean people, how can he not feel bitter when he is a descendant of a noble clan who has lived abroad for many years despite having both parents?"
"In the past, it can be said that... Since the posthumous title is fine, it is said that the Sheng family is also one of the powerful families in Nanfeng County, and is one of the first-class negative people in the local area... "
Princess Qingfang put down the tea bowl, "Why can't those past events be revealed?"
"I'm just asking whether the second brother is living in the Zhao Mansion. The one I was waiting for outside just now is living in the Sheng Mansion?" Yuan Liuguang said disapprovingly, "To put it bluntly, the Zhao Mansion is not the mother-in-law's. My natal family took my second brother over to live there for a long time, just because my grandmother personally said it. My grandmother is very strict in running the family, and her descendants are all respectful and filial. Given my grandmother's attitude, how can the second brother suffer any grievances? "
"But the Sheng Mansion is afraid that the person who is in the private room next to him does not know his life experience until now. Sheng Lanci is also known as a doting and ruthless wife and a daughter-in-law. Who knows those things? How have you treated him wrongly in recent years?"
Yuan Liuguang shook his head and called Princess Qingfang's maiden name, "Lingxue, what I did was partial, too partial to the second brother... Of course, the second brother was the one I watched grow up, but that was not the case with that one. People's hearts are not always the same, so it is inevitable that I cannot be absolutely wrong and fair. But I should be clear about my mother-in-law's attitude. My move to find him privately that time was really ill-considered. If my godmother-in-law knew about it later, I would be afraid. I won’t take mercy lightly!”
"..." Princess Qingfang was silent for a long time before saying, "Does he want to explain some of Dong's extramarital affairs to him in advance?"
Yuan Liuguang was silent for a while, and said calmly: "Lingxue, to be honest: now that I have left the cabinet, and our children are about to reach the age of marriage, why should I insist on matters concerning the palace?" Are you asking for so many blends? As a son-in-law, he is not willing to share the worries of his father-in-law and mother-in-law. If tomorrow the palace sends a message asking us to come and guard him, he will definitely be right!"
"But now, I am hiding it from my father-in-law and my mother-in-law and making my own decisions..."
"I think eldest brother and sister-in-law, one of them is the prince of the royal family, the other is the wife of the prince, and they are the legitimate successors of the father-in-law and mother-in-law! Have you ever expressed any opinions on this matter over the years?"
"I don't care what my father-in-law and mother-in-law say..."
"I...he knows that I felt very sorry for my second brother all those years. As a son-in-law, it's hard for him to say anything about what happened back then. However, if he denies the person in the next room, he will be wrong and I will be very disappointed."
Princess Qingfang's legs shook and she almost flipped the teacup over her skirt, but Yuan Liuguang's quick eyesight and legs quickly helped to hold it up.
Then she put the tea bowl back on the case and met Yuan Liuguang's sincere eyes, but said nothing for a long time.
When the atmosphere in that private room was heavy, outside the private room where Sheng Suihe and his party were, Gongsun Yingjiang was lazy and didn't want to go out. Sheng Suihe, Sheng Weiqiao and Sheng Weiwu were there, and the atmosphere was not very good.
When Sheng Weiqiao saw Sheng Sleeper come in, he asked Lu Jin to take Sheng Weiwu to the window to look at the lights, while he walked to Sheng Sleeper's side.
At first, neither of them shut up.
A moment later, colorful fireworks exploded in the night sky in the distance. As Sheng Weiwu clapped her hands and shouted, the people waiting in the private room were also attracted to her.
At that time, Sheng Suihe suddenly took the initiative and said: "Good girl, if I don't go to watch the fireworks with my eighth sister, can I ask him about Princess Qingfang?"
Sheng Weiqiao said "hmm" and looked at him expectantly: "Will I tell him?"
"Good girl, he has always wronged me, knowing everything he said!" Sheng Suihe took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Is it possible that he is not familiar with the princess at all? How did he know about her? matter?"
"They clearly came here for me!" Sheng Weiqiao snorted coldly, leaned into his ear, and lowered his voice, "On the night of the 15th, I didn't look very good! At first he thought he had bumped into Princess Qingfang. The reason... But then I thought about it, maybe I would have been in a bad mood since the eighth sister mistook the deer tendon stall for selling snacks?"
When she said that, she carefully observed Sheng Suihe's face.
Sheng Suihe looked calm and calm, and said with a slight smile: "Good girl, it's normal for Princess Qingfang to come to him. After all, he is not the Jie Yuan of Nanfeng County. Maybe she sees it." He is both talented and beautiful. When we met briefly in that house, I admired him deeply. Then why would you plan to take advantage of the opportunity to meet him and ask for a calligraphy treasure or something? Don't worry, dear girl. The princess is so old. He's too old, how can Guainan be so innocent and so cruel and easy to bully? No matter how much she admires him, he will definitely like Guainan the most!"
"... I'll just stop it!!!" Sheng Weiqiao punched him bitterly and gritted his teeth, "I'm naive, I'm cruel, I'm easy to bully!!!"
The man was talking nonsense, and she knew that she would not be able to tell the truth if she stayed in the east, so she got up and angrily went to accompany Sheng Weiwu, but she thought to herself, "When I go back tomorrow, I will ask Sheng Xiang to buy Mongolian sweat medicine... He I don’t believe it anymore. After his identity is verified, he can continue to deny it!!!”
