The next day, Shen Ziqiao and Qi Zheng went out to go to Shen's house.
Qi Zheng could roughly guess why Shen Ziqiao went to the Shen's house, to persuade Shen Zixin to carefully consider her marriage with the Ninth Prince, but so what if she persuaded her? Can't change anything at all.
"Jiaojiao. Are you going to tell Fourth Aunt about the Ninth Prince and Sheng Peiyin?" Qi Zheng put her cool hands in his big palms, and looked at her jade-white face with burning eyes.
Shen Ziqiao pouted, and said unwillingly, "I think Xin'er has the right to know what kind of person the Ninth Prince used to be. Even if she can't choose marriage, at least she can understand her future husband. However, I also know that if I say , Xin'er may have a knot in her heart, and she had a knot before they got married... This will be even worse for Xin'er in the future."
Fortunately, I know how to think so! Qi Zheng looked at her with a smile, "Jiaojiao is really a considerate girl."
"I know you don't want me to say it, huh!" Shen Ziqiao turned her face away, looking at the scenery outside the window, then don't say it, if there is a knot in the heart, it is impossible for the two husband and wife to be of the same mind.
Qi Zheng laughed out loud, hugged her and coaxed her flatteringly.
When they arrived at Shen's house, Qi Zheng and Shen Ziqiao first went to the De'an Courtyard to greet Mrs. Shen.
Although Mrs. Shen doesn't like Shen Ziqiao, but Qi Zheng is the young master of the Duke's Mansion, and may be the future son, no matter how old she is, she will not show Qi Zheng a face.
As soon as Zhou saw Shen Ziqiao, she couldn't wait to talk about the emperor's gift of marriage to the Ninth Prince and Shen Zixin. She wanted to see an envious and jealous look on Shen Ziqiao's face. The Ninth Prince, the real royal prince, is more noble than Qi Zheng I don't know how much, Shen Ziqiao will bow her head when she sees Xin'er in the future. Thinking of this, Zhou's mood is really comfortable and happy like never before.
Finally, their second room will be able to overwhelm the big room one day. When Xin'er becomes the Ninth Princess in the future, are you afraid that she won't have the chance to support her two elder brothers
Shen Xiao has no military power now, and is almost at home with idle gifts, and the Shen family may need their second wife to support their face in the future.
Zhou thought about it, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Mrs. Shen was talking about Mrs. Qi to Qi Zheng, when she heard Zhou's sudden laugh, she couldn't help frowning.
Shen Ziqiao sat quietly at the side with her usual expression, and looked at Mrs. Shen from the corner of her eyes. When she saw her last time, she was almost exhausted. Unexpectedly, it looked better in the past two days.
At least his face was not so pale anymore.
Mrs. Zhou coughed lightly, straightened her body, "Mother, I thought that brother Kai would get married soon, and I felt happy."
Old Mrs. Shen didn't bother to talk to her, so she turned to Qi Zheng and said, "I haven't seen your grandmother for many years, wait for me to feel refreshed. I'll ask her for a cup of tea."
Qi Zheng replied with a smile, "The old lady must get better soon."
After saying a few more insipid words, Qi Zheng was dragged away by Shen Zikai, as if he had something important to tell Qi Zheng.
Old Mrs. Shen had no one to talk to, so she lost all interest immediately, she wouldn't have anything to say to Shen Ziqiao. Mrs. Zhou now only talks about Sister Xin's marriage every day. She has long been tired of listening to it. Seeing Mrs. Zhou, she is ready to show off in front of Shen Ziqiao again. Mrs. Shen waved her hands impatiently, "I'm tired, you guys go back first."
Just wait for this sentence! The corners of Shen Ziqiao's mouth turned slightly, she stood up and said with a smile, "Grandmother, then I'll go down first."
After Shen Ziqiao came out of De'an Courtyard, she went to Shen Zixin's courtyard.
This girl is embroidering a wedding dress for herself. The bright color of the real red wedding dress made her face rosy and the corners of her eyes tender. Shen Ziqiao looked at it and sighed secretly.
"Xin'er!" She stood by the door and called out.
Only then did Shen Zixin realize that Shen Ziqiao was standing by the door, and she immediately smiled happily, "When did you come?"
"I've been here for a while, seeing you are so focused on embroidering the wedding dress, I don't dare to call you anymore." Shen Ziqiao said with a smile, the two seemed to have resumed their previous friendship, as if the unpleasant cold face in the middle had never happened.
"Don't laugh at me, I don't want to embroider this, my mother won't let me go." Shen Zixin said, her eyebrows and eyes brightened, she was completely different from her half a month ago.
Shen Ziqiao held her hand, "I heard about it in Zhuangzi, the emperor gave you and the Ninth Prince a marriage, congratulations, you will be the Ninth Concubine in the future, it seems that in the near future, I will not be so presumptuous when I see you. "
"What nonsense, if you say this again, I won't talk to you." Shen Zixin blushed with embarrassment, with a smile in the corner of her eyes, and her tone was angry.
"Hey, I'll stop talking!" Shen Ziqiao said with a smile, she pulled Shen Zixin to sit down, "By the way, have you met the Ninth Prince?"
Shen Zixin nodded shyly, "I saw him at Huguo Temple a few days ago, and I only knew he was the Ninth Prince after hearing what others said."
After finishing speaking, Shen Zixin's face changed slightly. She went to Huguo Temple with her girlfriends, and happened to meet the Ninth Prince who was talking to the abbot in the garden behind. The man is the Nine Princes.
Sure enough, he was the most famous handsome man in the capital before.
"I heard that Third Miss Shen was crazy about the Ninth Prince before..."
Later, whoever said this sentence seemed to be aware of Shen Zixin's identity, so she didn't dare to say it.
Could it be that Jiaojiao knew the Ninth Prince before? Shen Zixin became suspicious.
Shen Ziqiao observed Shen Zixin's expression, and knew what she was suspicious of. In the past, the deity liked the Ninth Prince, and it was not a secret that he was obsessed with the Ninth Prince. No matter how deliberately exaggerated it is, no matter how ugly it is, it will be spread.
Instead of letting others talk nonsense to make Shen Zixin feel entangled, it's better for her to say it herself.
"When I heard that the Ninth Prince asked the emperor to marry me, I was really shocked. I used to be young and frivolous. Seeing that the Ninth Prince looked good, I felt that he was the best in the world, and I made a big fuss. Don't make jokes, you were not in the capital at that time, if you were in the capital, it would be fine, you will definitely persuade me not to be impulsive, provoke gossip outside, and make the Ninth Prince hate me..." Saying this, Shen Ziqiao gave a wry smile Well, what the deity did was all because she didn't have a decent elder to teach her, otherwise how could she run after a man regardless.
After all, it was all caused by Mrs. Shen's neglect of this granddaughter.
"After getting to know Qi Zheng, I realized that the admiration for the Ninth Prince was not a real liking at all, but... a pursuit of beautiful things. If I had a mother, maybe it wouldn't be like that." Shen Ziqiao said, bowing her head. Wiping the corners of his eyes.
It seems that he regrets his childish behavior at the beginning.
Seeing this, Shen Zixin felt sympathetic. She knew how capricious Jiaojiao was before. Maybe it was because of the Ninth Prince's incident that made Jiaojiao realize how unruly her previous behavior was.
"How can I blame you, grandma...Grandmother is biased in her heart, she neglected to teach you, and the uncle left early. As a younger sister, I only care about myself and never care about you. It's my fault." Shen Zixin said.
"I'm only worried that you mind the past..." Shen Ziqiao said sadly.
"What are you talking about? I don't know you yet? If you don't like Qi Zheng, why would you marry him?" Shen Zixin gave her a look and said expectantly, "No matter what kind of person the Ninth Prince was before, as long as you After getting married, we can treat each other as guests and respect each other, that's enough."
She believed that she would be able to harmonize with the Ninth Prince Qin Se.
Shen Ziqiao took a deep look at her, and swallowed all the other words that came out of her mouth.
Perhaps it would be best for Shen Zixin not to talk about Sheng Peiyin.
"Xin'er, it's fine if you don't mind..."
…
…
Shen Zikai and Qi Zheng came to the study, where Shen Xiao was already waiting for them.
"Here we come." Shen Xiao looked at Qi Zheng with a heavy expression, "Did you know about that?"
Qi Zheng said in a deep voice, "I heard about it before, and thought that the emperor was just joking, but I didn't expect to take it seriously. I went down to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and asked him to persuade His Majesty."
"The Empress knelt outside the Qianqing Palace for a day and a night, and the emperor didn't change her mind." Shen Zikai shook his head and sighed, "His Royal Highness may not be able to persuade the emperor."
Half a month ago, Prime Minister Sun found someone who was the head of Tianxuan Sect from somewhere, and introduced him to the emperor. Since then, the emperor has been fascinated by alchemy and immortal cultivation. An immortal cave, if it can absorb spiritual energy in the cave, it will be very helpful for foundation building and cultivation. As soon as the emperor heard about it, he would immediately go to that cave, even ignoring the government.
Because Qi Zheng had just got married, he hadn't entered the palace for several days. He only heard that the emperor had been addicted to cultivating immortals and alchemy this month, but he didn't know that it had become so serious.
"Did the ministers in the court persuade the emperor?" Qi Zheng asked.
"The emperor hasn't gone to court for two days. Before Lu Shangshu went up to persuade him, he was fined by the emperor to kneel outside the imperial study for two hours." Shen Xiao said helplessly, if he could persuade the emperor, he would have persuaded him a long time ago. But now the emperor can't listen to anyone except the Taoist priest.
This is not just a waste of government...
"Master Yuezhang, why did you come here for me?" Qi Zheng lowered his voice and asked with a serious face.
"The prince will get married next month. Now that the prince is able to take charge of himself and do things calmly, why not..." The following words were too harsh, and Shen Xiao didn't say it.
Qi Zheng's eyebrows moved, he understood the meaning of these words.
I'm afraid Shen Xiao is not the only one who thinks this way. Now many ministers in the court think so. The crown prince has been the crown prince for many years, and he is superior to other princes in terms of conduct and affairs. He can definitely become the king of a country.
It is to ask the emperor to give up the throne to the prince, and then go to find some cave. ,
If this matter is not arranged well, it will be a forced palace.
