Capital, East Palace.
The crown prince was wearing plain clothes and sitting on the grand master's chair in the main hall. The crown princess had already passed the funeral, and the little emperor's grandson was with the queen. He felt that the entire East Palace seemed to have lost its life, and could never regain the warmth it had before.
"Your Highness." Sheng Peiyin walked in, looking at the much thinner prince with distress, she walked to him with ginseng tea in her hand, and said softly, "You haven't rested for a few days, how about..."
"You go out." His Royal Highness said in a deep voice, he didn't want to see Sheng Peiyin at this time.
The corners of Sheng Peiyin's eyes were slightly wet. Ever since she was deliberately left out that time, she had never been close to him. It was not until the princess was seriously ill that she found a chance to let him notice her again.
In order to make him believe her, she let him see that she was bullied by the palace people and was beaten all over her body. At that time, when he carried her back to the house, her heart was jumping for joy, and she thought He finally felt sorry for her again, but it was just that, he didn't let her serve by his side at all, as if nothing happened.
She clearly felt the Prince's affection for her, why did it suddenly disappear
Sheng Peiyin is not reconciled, she has given up too much for him, she must get what she wants.
"Your Highness, don't be like this. The princess is in the spirit of the sky, and she will never want to see you not eating or drinking. Your body is important." Sheng Peiyin knelt in front of him, holding his knees with both hands, with gentle eyes and a soft voice. It looks distressing.
The prince wanted to wave her away, but when he saw her tearful eyes, he stopped gesturing immediately, "Get up."
"Your Highness, don't be like this. Peiyin really...really... feels distressed when she sees it." Sheng Peiyin wept sadly, with her cheek on the prince's lap, crying pitifully.
The prince sighed lightly. "Let me ask you, what happened to those dead men?"
He likes Sheng Peiyin, but he will never allow a deep-minded, cruel woman to stay by his side.
"What? What dead man?" Sheng Peiyin's heart skipped a beat and he asked blankly.
The prince frowned, staring at her pretty fair face, "Was Jiaojiao attacked at that time, did it have anything to do with you?"
It's Shen Ziqiao again!
Sheng Peiyin gritted her teeth, suppressed the displeasure in her heart, and asked in surprise. "When was Jiaojiao attacked? Why didn't I know?"
The only expectation in the prince's heart was shattered.
If she told him the truth, maybe he would forgive her, after all, those people belonged to the Ninth Prince. He would believe that it was not she who sent someone to kill Jiaojiao, but he could believe that it was the Ninth Prince who did it.
She said she didn't know...
Sheng Peiyin felt the prince's sudden change of attitude, and she had a premonition that she would never be able to win back his heart this time.
"Your Highness!" Sheng Peiyin hugged his waist fiercely, "I know about Jiaojiao's incident... But I can't say it, I can't say it."
His Royal Highness frowned in disgust, and pushed her away forcefully, "Go away!"
"Your Highness, the little emperor's grandson is crying at the empress's place and is clamoring to find you." Ning Shanggong's voice came from outside. Sheng Peiyin's next move was interrupted.
Sheng Peiyin was pushed away by the crown prince, "Ningshang Palace, kick Sheng Peiyin out of the East Palace for me. You are not allowed to step into the palace again."
The figure of Ning Shanggong appeared in Sheng Peiyin's sight, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Your Highness..." Sheng Peiyin exclaimed, how could this happen
What did she do wrong? Shouldn't it be like this? Sheng Peiyin thought in panic, always feeling that something had changed.
This is not the ending she should have.
His Royal Highness strode out of the hall. Let Sheng Peiyin yell loudly from behind.
She is not reconciled, not reconciled!
Sheng Peiyin was kicked out of the palace. She looked at the palace gate that she was able to enter with great difficulty, and a wave of hatred surged in her heart.
When the prince came to the queen's palace, the little grandson was crying to find his mother, but it was no use coaxing him. As soon as he saw the prince, he threw himself into his arms and cried.
"Good boy, I can see your mother tonight." The prince choked up bitterly. In the past few nights, he had lied to the babbling little grandson, telling him that his mother had become a star in the sky.
The little grandson was coaxed by the prince for a long time, and finally fell asleep in his arms.
"Your Highness, servant girl, let's take the little grandson to sleep inside." Xiao Yu stepped forward and hugged the little grandson in the arms of His Royal Highness.
"What are you going to do with that girl of the Sheng family?" The queen asked in a low voice, looking at the tired prince.
Even the queen could see that the crown prince was interested in Sheng Peiyin, but that woman's mind was impure, if she wanted to take the place of the crown princess, then don't blame her for being cruel.
The prince said, "The Sheng family is different now, they just let her be kicked out of the palace."
In the end, I still couldn't bear to attack Sheng Peiyin.
The queen snorted inwardly, and said to the prince, "The war in the northwest is tense now, please take the initiative to invite Ying to go to the northwest, I don't know how Brother Zheng is doing now."
…
…
Before the spies who betrayed the imperial court were found, the news that the crown prince had led troops to the northwest soon spread to Dongyue. At the same time, Shen Ziqiao also received a letter from Shen Xiao.
In order to find Shen Zikai, Shen Xiao decided to go out with the prince, and he should be on the way by now.
There was no mention of spies, nor of the Sheng family.
Shen Ziqiao knew from Luo Zhaohua that Sheng Peiyin was kicked out of the palace by the crown prince.
"Recently, everyone loves flowers and sees them blooming. Even God has heard my prayers. Sheng Peiyin has been kicked out, so she won't be a threat to the Shen family anymore, ouch." Holding Luo Zhaohua's letter, Shen Ziqiao was Rolling around on the bed, just barely jumping up and cheering.
Lady Meng and Hongyu covered their mouths and laughed.
"His Highness the Crown Prince's gaze is like a torch, and he must have seen through the true face of Sheng Peiyin's evil intentions." Lady Meng said.
"You don't understand." Love is blind.
When you love someone, no matter what she does is right, no matter what she does is good.
Although she didn't know why the prince drove Sheng Peiyin away, but since he succeeded, it proved that he didn't like Sheng Peiyin enough.
What happened in the middle? Does it have anything to do with your own appearance? Shen Ziqiao didn't know, and she wasn't interested in knowing now either.
As long as the Shen family isn't ruined, it's fine.
"Let's go to the old lady and tell her that my father has already gone to look for eldest brother, so that she won't be worried." Shen Xiao is the great general of the Great Zhou. With him going to the northwest, many people's hearts will be at ease.
When Shen Ziqiao came to the main room, she found that the three aunts were all in the room, and each of them had a gloomy face, as if they were worried about something.
"Grandmother, eldest aunt..." Shen Ziqiao entered the door and saluted one by one, and sat down beside Mrs. Pan, "Grandmother, my father has gone to the northwest, and he will join my elder brother soon. My elder brother will be fine, so you can rest assured .”
After hearing this, Mrs. Pan finally smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Kai is very lucky, and will definitely come back safely."
The second aunt curled her lips and said, "The Jin people are coming fiercely, and we don't know if we can win the battle in Dazhou. Now the people are worried that they will not be able to buy rice in the war. The streets are full of people who buy rice and grain. If this continues … don’t know what’s going to happen yet.”
"They're all robbing rice?" Shen Ziqiao asked in surprise, what's going on, it's not that they haven't fought wars, Dazhou is a big country, when did they fear the Jinren
"No, I'm afraid that in a few days, the price of rice will go up too much." The second aunt said.
The eldest aunt glared at her, "What nonsense, the northwest is far away from us."
"I don't know who spread the rumor that sooner or later the Jin people will come to us." The second aunt hurriedly retorted.
"It's all caused by someone deliberately making trouble, trying to take advantage of the chaos to raise the price to make money. There is a chamber of commerce, and the price of rice cannot be raised." Mrs. Pan said, "If you want to persuade the second child to go to the rice, be careful to let the old man know. , to see if he will break the second brother's leg."
The second aunt was seen through by Mrs. Pan, her cheeks flushed, and she faltered and said that she didn't have that idea.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Dongyue's almost chaotic rice price to be suppressed, but within a few days, the stable and prosperous life in the past was restored.
Three months passed quickly.
The long-lost good news finally came from Northwest.
The crown prince and Shen Xiaobing split up into two ways to attack Jin Bing, but Jin Bing seemed to have seen through their intentions and was already prepared to wait for them. Just when the Prince and the others were almost lost, suddenly a surprise soldier appeared. Not only saved the prince, but also took back one of the cities that the Jin soldiers invaded.
Qi Zheng is leading this strange army, and Shen Zikai is with him.
Hearing that both Qi Zheng and Shen Zikai were safe and sound, Shen Ziqiao breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.
"...Miss San, Tianbaoxing is clearly qualified to join the chamber of commerce, so why doesn't the He family not allow it?" It took a long time to hear this sentence.
"If you don't come in, don't come in, what's the matter, anyway, you won't make a dime less." Shen Ziqiao said indifferently.
To her, joining the chamber of commerce is just a false title, it doesn't matter if she has it or not.
"Miss San!" Hongyu sighed. These days, they helped Shen Ziqiao take care of Tianbaohang's trivial matters, so Tianbaohang suffered a loss, and they felt more uncomfortable than themselves.
"It's here!" Shen Ziqiao shouted, "Cousin Xiu is waiting for us inside."
The Hongyu sisters are relatively silent, and when they climb up to a foodie master, sometimes they really feel tears streaming down their faces.
"It's hard to get a place in Jinxiu Building. Cousin Xiu can still have a private room. It's amazing. I don't know if I can get to know his boss, and where did he hire the cook? The food is so delicious." Shen Ziqiao narrowed her eyes with a smile, When she thought of having the opportunity to eat the legendary delicacy in the world, she felt that life is really wonderful.
Jinxiulou is a restaurant that just opened in Dongyue this month. It was full of people on the first day of its opening. People who have eaten here say that the food here is the best in the world. It seduces Shen Ziqiao's gluttons so much, it's a pity that this restaurant No takeaway, otherwise she would have sent someone to pack it.
