Empress Jiahe was very surprised and puzzled by this matter, "Shen Que hasn't had much dealings with us before."
"There have been rumors that Shen Que doted on his concubine and killed his wife. His reputation is not very good. It's just that he has made good achievements recently and has been promoted steadily. He can talk to the emperor, but he can find an opportunity to see him."
Xu Guozhang said slowly: "When I see him and see what his plans are, you can decide whether to see his daughter or not."
The maid beside Empress Jiahe clung to Empress Jiahe's ear and said a few words, reminding Empress Jiahe of the palace banquet at the end of the month.
Empress Jiahe said to Xu Guozhang: "At the end of the month, there will be a flower viewing feast in the palace, and I will be able to see Second Miss Shen at that time. Why don't I go to see Second Miss Shen first and ask what's going on?" You go to see Mr. Shen again, lest you have too much contact with the courtiers and arouse the suspicion of the Holy One."
"That's fine." Xu Guozhang agreed.
In Shen's house, Shen Xiuying's mother, Jiang Shi, put on a string of brand new pearl earrings for Shen Xiuying, picked up the bronze mirror on the table, looked in the mirror with relief, "These earrings match you very well."
Shen Xiuying looked at herself in the bronze mirror.
She looks much more beautiful than Jiang Shi when she was young.
With such a poor background, her mother could fly on a branch and be supported as a regular wife. Shen Xiuying inevitably felt a sense of arrogance in comparison. Since she was more beautiful than her mother and had a good background, she must be able to marry someone better.
What's more, she has already started her life all over again, and she won't go on the wrong path again. Rong Ting didn't take her seriously in his past and present lives, and she wouldn't make him feel better.

It's just that Empress Jiahe refused to see her for a long time, and she must be powerless to change too much by herself. Shen Xiuying was impatient and frowned tightly.
At this time, the servant girl came to report that the flower viewing banquet in the palace had sent her an invitation.
Shen Xiuying looked at the post, her frown finally relaxed.
…
The bamboo forest is luxuriant, and the green shade pavilion is afternoon.
The students just finished this month's class test and came out of the classroom one after another.
Seeing Rong Ting's wheelchair slowly passing by, Liu Heguang's eyes immediately became angry, thinking about the humiliation suffered in the hunting ground, and wanted to trouble Rong Ting, but Xie Tongyan stopped him.
Naturally, Xie Tongyan couldn't understand Rong Ting.
It was only when he came back from the shooting range that night and took a bath in the soup pond at night, trying to wash off the blood of wild geese, that he realized that there was a finger-long wide slit on the top of his head that was chilly. Realized that the arrow that Rong Ting pierced through his bun was close to his scalp.
Just a hair's breadth away, and a piece of his head was about to be chopped off.
Thinking back, Xie Tongyan still hated and feared, and couldn't save face to admit that he was afraid of a cripple. When he stopped Liu Heguang, he gritted his teeth and said: "It's sunny, don't bother him, it's easy to lose your tongue. "
Liu Heguang was still resentful, Xie Tongyan lowered his voice and reprimanded him: "Why are you so anxious, when the Seventeenth Prince succeeds to the throne, are you afraid that you won't be able to punish him?"
Just at that moment, the Seventeenth Prince came out of the school with a gloomy expression dripping from his face.
I thought that Rong Ting was so sick that he couldn't even leave the gate of the mansion, but he still came on the day of the class exam.
When Yan Nanxun got his article, he glanced at it, and there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
Having been ill for a few days and not coming, but still being able to please that extremely picky old pedant, the Seventeenth Prince gritted his teeth with envy.
The three families of Xie, Liu and Xu were friendly, and they all regarded the Seventeenth Prince as the future heir. Liu Heguang and Xie Tongyan did not dare to neglect, and bowed to him when they saw the Seventeenth Prince, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Seventeenth."
The anger in the eyes of the Seventeenth Prince hadn't dissipated, and he didn't really want to talk to them, so he simply nodded his head, left the Qingshan School, and immediately asked the attendants waiting outside the Qingshan School, "Where did that cripple go?"
The entourage said: "He left Bailu Academy and went east."
"East?"
Obviously his mansion is on the west side.
"The slave is not mistaken, he is going east."
The Seventeenth Prince frowned suspiciously, "Follow up and have a look."
…
The carriage traveled all the way to the Qinhuai River, and when getting off, Huai Qing neatly set up a long board for Rong Ting to move the wheelchair down.
When there was a lot of people, among the pedestrians, many people's eyes were attracted by this little boy in a wheelchair.
Someone has figured out who he is.
Those wanton looking, pity or prying eyes made Rong Ting feel bored.
Huai Qing really wanted to tell Rong Ting that the people of Jinling knew what he did to the disaster in Nanzhang, so they would visit him frequently.
Princes and nobles are born ignorant of the hunger, cold and suffering in the world, and those who can sincerely think about the people and do things for the people are rare.
Those eyes looking at His Highness Nine are admiration and admiration.
But before he could say anything, there was already a slight smile on Rong Ting's face, looking bright.
An old nanny walked over tremblingly, "Are you His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
The young man knows more and more which kind of expression is kind and pleasing, and can earn a good reputation. Even though he is cold and disgusted in his heart, he has a gentle smile on his face, "It's me."
The old woman stuffed two eggs with red silk into Rong Ting's hands, "My hometown is Nanzhang, and my family is there, Your Highness Ninth, thank you."
After the old lady left, Huai Qing was a little surprised and moved.
This kind of egg with red silk is used by ordinary people to bless people.
He was afraid that Rong Ting had been in the deep palace for a long time and didn't know the folk customs, so he was about to explain, but Rong Ting threw the two eggs into his arms.
"threw."
The kindness and kindness he had just shown in front of people was no longer there, he said in a low voice with a cold look on his face.
"Your Highness, this is the kindness of the old man..."
Rong Ting glanced back at him, "Throw it away."
He doesn't trust anything that anyone hands over.
Whether with good intentions or malicious intent.
…
Huaiqing went out for a while, obediently went to throw away the eggs tied with red silk cloth, and when he came back, he went into the grain shop and found Rong Ting in the backyard, he said, "Maybe I came a little early, four The girl hasn't come here yet, and I haven't seen her carriage outside."
I made an appointment with Jiang Rao to meet here at Weishi today, without Rong Ting's instructions, Huai Qing told the coachman to hurry up and hurry up, but when he arrived, he found it was too early, Huai Qing felt ashamed, "Your Highness Ninth, you are a slave I miscalculated the time."
"That's right, even if you come early, don't be late."
If it's her, you can wait as long as you want.
When Jiang Rao came, he felt aggrieved and sighed softly, "You are finally here."
He waited for only two minutes, but hearing his sigh, it seemed like he had waited for the whole afternoon.
His color was so good, he still looked gorgeous in the twilight, but also carried a pitiful fragility. There was no sense of blame in his tone, and his eyes were full of willingness.
It's just that he is willing to show it to others.
According to the agreed time, she was not late, but later than him. Jiang Rao secretly made up her mind to come earlier in the future, while explaining to Rong Ting: "Something happened, and the journey was delayed for a while."
Ming Shao held a rose branch in his hand, "Not long after leaving the palace, the girl was stopped by a flower seller and gave this flower."
In Jinling, there is an unwritten rule among the flower girls who sell flowers. They occasionally send a flower to a girl on the road without using copper coins. As long as they think a girl looks good-looking, they can give it for free.
Jiang Rao blushed at what she said, and retorted: "What does this have to do with being good-looking? Didn't you give money in the end."
Those little flower sellers were clever, and they only chose those girls who could tell that their families were rich and well-off to send flowers. He was so elated, not to mention the copper coins for buying flowers, he would give out a lot of reward silver.
This is also deceiving a little girl who has never done business. People like her who count their calculations every day will not really believe what they say.
I just pity those children who are exposed to the wind and sun at a young age, and it is not easy to make a living, so I gave a lot of rewards.
"Of course my servant knows that those flower sellers talk a lot." But Ming Shao thought that Jiang Rao was the most beautiful person she had ever seen, "Maybe someone bought flowers from them, borrowed their hands, and wanted to Give it to the girl. There are many stories like this in the scriptures."
Jiang Rao put her finger on her forehead and said in a low voice, "I'll talk about these words when I get back."
Rong Ting remained silent.
It's just that no one knew what kind of deep displeasure was in his unmoving phoenix eyes.
After a while, he said softly, "I want to see this flower."
It was the first time Jiang Rao saw that he was interested in something, so she couldn't help being a little curious, and said to Ming Shao, "Give the flowers to His Highness Jiu."
Ming Shao handed the flowers to Rong Ting.
The flower fell into Rong Ting's hands, when he caught the flower branch, he was very careful, when he looked down at the flower, his eyelashes trembled slightly, his already fair face was set off by the bright rose, as clean as the snow on the branch.
Jiang Rao couldn't help but feel that the phrase "people are more delicate than flowers" that the flower girl ran up to her just now was just right for him.
Last night, she whispered to her aunt, who slept in the same bed with her, hugged her and babbled a lot, saying that it doesn't matter if you can't find someone you like, since you don't want to get married, just go against the rules to the end, in the house Raise a few beautiful men, just looking at them every day can be pleasing to the eye and prolong your life.
But Jiang Rao really felt that after she had been in contact with Rong Ting for a long time, she couldn't tolerate other colors in her eyes.
The person with a clear appearance and prettier than flowers lowered his head, but suddenly he hissed, his arms shook, and the flower branches fell to the ground.
Jiang Rao was startled by this accident, and suddenly recovered from her wild thoughts, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong?"
"There are thorns on the branches." He spread out his hand, a small drop of blood on the fingertips, abrupt and eye-catching, made people gasp.
Looking at the blood drop, Jiang Rao felt as if the thorn had cut her finger, and "hissed" in her heart. She immediately took out the handkerchief from her sleeve, looked carefully, there was no small thorn in his wound, and wrapped the handkerchief around his finger.
Ming Shao muttered to the side, "The flower branch has no thorns", but Jiang Rao ignored her muttering, and she concentrated on dressing Rong Ting's wound.
There are some mottled old scars vertically and horizontally on the callus of his palm. Jiang Rao clung to his wound, his movements were very light, and he hid back, as if it was in pain, Jiang Rao's face became even more bitter.
Just about to bend down to pick up the flowers, to check again whether there are thorny peony on the stems of the flower branches, she said "ah", "Girl, the flowers are pressed."
Jiang Rao lowered her head and glanced, the rose flower was crushed under the wheels of the wheelchair when Rong Ting was hiding back, the stem of the flower branch had been crushed to pieces and lost its original shape.
The desolate place that turned red into mud was extremely wonderful in Rong Ting's eyes.
Jiang Rao said, "Let's not worry about flowers."
She turned her head to look at Rong Ting's injured finger, "Does your hand hurt?"
The destructive desire in Rong Ting's heart did not show on Qing Jun's face at all, he did not answer, but shook his head slightly.
Jiang Rao sighed, "If I hadn't been looking for you, I wouldn't have caused you to suffer this."
Rong Ting immediately shook his head, "It's my fault for taking flowers."
"Why don't you come to me."
He muffled his voice and said in a sad tone, "Except for you, I am ignored in the academy and the palace. If you don't come, I will really be ignored."
Huai Qing thought for a while, because of the famine in Nanzhang, Emperor Zhaowu intentionally let His Royal Highness Ninth Prince go to the Ministry of Industry to practice after autumn. Some people moved upon hearing the news, especially Concubine Shu, in order to win His Highness the Ninth Highness to help His Highness the Third, she exhausted all means, sending gifts back and forth and being rejected again and again, how could it be ignored.
But in the end he chose to remain silent.
…
Behind the window of the carriage on the side of the cross painting, a pair of poisonous eyes were staring in the direction of the grain store in the distance.
The Seventeenth Prince watched Rong Ting enter the grain shop. Not long after, he didn't wait for Rong Ting to come out of the grain shop, but he waited until Jiang Rao went in. He asked coldly, "Which one did you enter that grain shop just now?" Girl?"
