Shen Wen felt short of breath for a moment, half sat up, pointed at Zhang Yunzheng and scolded: "You idiot! Why didn't you hold a sword at that time?! Seeing those people holding knives, you are still holding a horsewhip! There are five of them , who do you think you are?! Do you have three heads and six arms?! If you..." Shen Wen suddenly couldn't continue—if Zhang Yunzheng died, I hadn't done anything for him! He bought himself dried fruit, built a secret room, and spent many nights making models with himself, drawing sketches of lost cities and weapons. He came back from the south, wandered all the way, and sent himself to the border...
Shen Wen's tears flowed down, and she choked up and said: "How can I tell your parents?! Even if I die, I can't... make them not hate me..." She covered her face and sobbed, making Su Wanniang and Yan Shi come Comforting her, "Don't cry, don't cry..." "Isn't Brother Zhang all right? Auspicious man and heaven..." Not far away, the fourth prince Ji Wenzhao and others all looked this way.
Zhang Yunzheng was stunned, and before he could answer back, he saw Shen Wen crying, he was a little embarrassed, and muttered in a low voice with his mouth puffed out: "Who knows that they do it without talking?... It's okay, okay, don't cry, everyone Just looking at it... you might think I'm bullying... I didn't scold you!"
Everyone in the car got off, and Shi Helin was so jolted that his back ached, he beat his back and said, "I feel very comfortable! It's much better than the people who have been riding outside for five or six hours in the cold wind!"
Duan Zeng walked over to Zhang Yunzheng and said, "Are the acupuncture points I told you useful? Did it save you some trouble?"
Zhang Yunzheng glanced at Shen Wen and said: "Of course, of course, in fact, I have always had the upper hand..."
After hearing this, Shen Wen raised his face and said: "I know how to brag! What advantage?! There is a knife over there, and you are a whip. Isn't this waiting..." Shen Wen swallowed the word "by knife" and said: "Unlucky! Is it?!" Her voice was far from Su Wanniang's clear and high-pitched voice, she was clearly scolding others, but there was always a hint of coquettishness in her tone, which couldn't escape the taste of being coquettish.
Duan Zeng said earnestly: "Actually, it's more appropriate to say 'take a knife', because people often say 'you've been beaten by a thousand knives'..."
Shen Wen's heart stabbed, and he screamed: "Did I say that?! Why did you interrupt?! Can you be dumb if you don't speak?!"
Duan Zeng is very good at quarreling: "If you are not dumb, you have to talk!"
Zhang Yunzheng immediately said: "She means that you don't talk now, you will make mistakes if you talk too much." He looked at Shen Wen: "Is that what you mean?"
Shen Wen was furious: "What I mean is..." She frowned and thought, "Just... don't be so stupid!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Who is stupid?! I could lean back..."
Shen Wen was angry: "Why are you leaning back?! How do you lean back when the knife is on your shoulder?"
Duan Zeng said, "That's right, won't the neck be exposed when you lean back?"
Shen Wen and Zhang Yunzheng said to Duan Zeng at the same time: "Shut up!"...
Ji Wenzhao poked the fourth prince: "Look! Look! She's angry!"
The fourth prince sighed: "Today is indeed dangerous."
Ji Wenzhao said in a low voice: "It's not about that, but Second Miss Shen never gets angry, she speaks softly and is very fake. It's rare to see her get angry today, it seems that my guess is very correct - that stupid boy is indeed a very Important person… "
Shen Wen has a good ear. Hearing what they said, he looked over at a glance: "Is there anything you can't say in front of me?!"
Ji Wenzhao said solemnly: "It's not a good habit to use others as a punching bag."
Shen Wen pointed at Ji Wenzhao: "You are plausible now?! When you talked to those people, you couldn't say a word!"
Zhang Yunzheng nodded: "That's right, I was still watching you! I was expecting you to have a verbal battle or something. In the end, you closed your mouth like a clam."
Yan laughed lowly.
Ji Wenzhao whispered to the fourth prince, "Have you seen this before? They're in partnership."
The fourth prince saw that Shen Wen's smiling eyes were unusually rounded, and he lowered his head without answering.
Su Wanniang said: "I'm going to cook, everyone is hungry." When it comes to food, people's attention is distracted, everyone piles up stones to start the stove, and separates to collect firewood. It's getting warmer.
Su Wanniang handed the bowl to the fourth prince, who asked softly, "Are you scared today?"
Su Wanniang nodded and replied softly, "Of course, what about you?"
The fourth prince said: "No... I didn't have time..."
Su Wanniang glared at him, and the fourth prince said in a very low voice: "Your miss...but have you lost your temper with you?" He always remembered the way Su Wanniang cried when he first met Su Wanniang.
Su Wanniang smiled: "This is the second time I've seen our lady lose her temper. It's really not easy."
The fourth prince whispered, "When was the last time?"
Su Wanniang whispered in the fourth prince's ear: "Even when someone murdered my young master, our lady was also angry."
Su Wanniang's breath swept over the fourth prince's earlobe, and the fourth prince's heart beat.
Zhang Yunzheng who was nearby curled his lips when he heard this: I often see her lose her temper. He is very proud.
After eating, some guards fed the animals with the forage they brought, and some guarded around.
Shen Wen summoned Ji Wenzhao and the others, expressing that he wanted to explain something to them.
Everyone sat in a small circle, and Shen Wen said in a low voice: "When I go to the border this time, one is to give the defense map of Yancheng and various weapon designs to my elder brother or second brother. Today is too dangerous, in case I'm dead..." At that time, she almost lost her mind.
Zhang Yunzheng interrupted unhappily: "How could it be? Aren't you fine? You were just shocked..." As soon as he interrupted like this, Shen Wen didn't say "two", and just continued his words: " At that time, if the water was not grabbed, no one would be able to go far. Therefore, after today’s incident, we must unite and fight together. Whoever dies, the rest will go to the border.”
Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Can't you not be a crow?"
Shen Wen ignored his attack and asked, "Where is the picture?"
Zhang Yunzheng covered his chest: "I have a bag here."
Shen Wen said to everyone: "Whoever is alive must send this package of pictures to the border. Otherwise, Yancheng will not be rebuilt, and our army will not be able to resist Beirong without advanced weapons."
Yan Shi clenched his fist and said, "Okay! Don't worry!"
Everyone else nodded.
Duan Zeng asked: "Why not give it to the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
Shen Wen sighed: "First, my father is surrounded by eyeliners, and his every move will be reported to the emperor and prince. If this picture is in his hands, it is equivalent to being in the hands of others. Second, my father is nearly half a century old. , With my own way of fighting against the enemy, it is not easy to adopt other people's suggestions. Third, I can't expose myself to my father. And my two elder brothers believe in my arrangements. Give them, let them come forward to operate, With these pictures, they should win the battle with Beirong."
Ji Wenzhao's curiosity was aroused. These must be pictures that can defeat the enemy. He couldn't restrain his strong thirst for knowledge, so he said, "Can I have a look at the pictures?" Seeing Shen Wen's vigilant gaze, Ji Wenzhao Wen Zhao said: "I have read the books of the relevant authorities, and I just want to take a look. Don't worry, I will definitely not surrender to Beirong!"
Shen Wen looked at Zhang Yunzheng, Zhang Yunzheng reluctantly took out the package from his arms, opened it and handed a piece of silk cloth to Ji Wenzhao, saying, "I can only take a look at it!"
Ji Wenzhao immediately took it over, and with the light of a small torch, he took a closer look, when Zhang Yunzheng took the cloth back and said, "Enough!"
Yan raised his hand and said, "I want to see it too!"
The fourth prince also said: "Then I'll take a look too."
Duan Zeng said: "I want to take a look too!"...
Shen Wen frowned and looked at these people, Duan Zeng said: "Which of us will surrender to Beirong?!"
Ji Wenzhao and Yan Shi both cut at the same time, and the fourth prince also gave a rare contemptuous smile.
Zhang Yunzheng had no choice but to unfold the white silk cloth again, several people poked their heads over to look carefully, but after a while, Zhang Yunzheng took the silk cloth back again.
Ji Wenzhao straightened up and said to Shen Wen seriously: "This picture cannot be given to your elder brother and second brother."
The fourth prince frowned and nodded, Shen Wen asked, "Why?"
Ji Wenzhao pointed his fingers in the air: "Building this city requires a lot of planning and coordination, as well as implementing various secrecy measures. For example, craftsmen can only get a part of the map, and they cannot communicate with each other. Another example , the allocation of stone materials, the huge stone materials must be transported to the location first, and then the construction of the barrier can start... Many details, probably divided into hundreds or even thousands of steps, are executed in stages, and those who have overall planning and strategies are not competent." Shen Wen knew that Ji Wenzhao What I said was that the so-called "chief engineer of the project" in later generations understood that his suggestion made sense. Ji Wenzhao added: "Your two elder brothers are both leaders of the army, so they must not be masters."
Yan said, "I think I can do it!"
Ji Wenzhao said contemptuously: "You are defeated, you must not be brave!"
Yan raised her head angrily: "Brother! You don't want to stay at the border, do you?! What about my cousin?!"
Ji Wenzhao waved his hand and said, "Doesn't she know how to take care of the child? There are a lot of relatives and family members around. And here, I am the only one who has the ability to plan!"
Yan said dissatisfied: "Why are you alone?! I am very smart! Once, my parents even hired a Taoist priest to subdue the demon! The Taoist priest said that I am..."
Ji Wenzhao interrupted Yan Shi: "A woman! Long hair but short knowledge! No matter how much you brag about yourself, you have never defeated me!"
Yan Shi was angry at Ji Wenzhao: "You arrogant man!"
Shen Wen frowned and said, "I didn't think it would be too difficult..."
Yan rushed to say: "It is difficult for your elder brother and second brother! But it is not so difficult for me!"
Ji Wenzhao said sternly to Yan: "This matter is no joke! Although this lost city is cleverly conceived, if it cannot be built, or the graphics are leaked, it will be meaningless! Since this picture is related to the survival of Yancheng, we must think carefully about it. Considerate! Those who choose the ability are entrusted with a heavy responsibility! There must be no deviation!"
Shen Wen said: "But I don't want you to go. You have the ability to govern the country. If you participate in the defense of the border, you will have something to do with the Zhenbei Hou Shen's army. In the future, if the third prince comes to power, if he starts to fear the Shen family, he will take the You belong to the same party, so I will abandon you. And the third prince needs help, I don't want to waste your talent."
Ji Wenzhao shook his head: "Look at what we saw along the way. The victims are everywhere, even eating people. According to what you said, there will be another year of drought, and then there will be floods. Don't say there are traitors and collaborators, but there are none. Come on, our court has no power to fight back! What are we talking about in the future at this time? Let’s save the country first! If we can defeat Bei Rong this time and keep our Central Plains from falling into the hands of foreign barbarians, we will It doesn't matter if you don't become an official for the rest of your life. Playing chess, reading books, and enjoying the mountains and rivers, isn't it a life of chic? You can't be confused at this time!"
Duan Zeng interjected, "You don't have to use your real name, but a pseudonym."
Ji Wenzhao said: "I took this picture to see the Marquis of Zhenbei, and persuaded him openly to allow me to supervise the construction of the Lost City. If I use a false name, I'm afraid he won't know my details and won't trust me."
Shi Helin twirled his beard and said, "I think he's right."
Shen Wen still disagreed: "Repelling Bei Rong is only a part of the process. If the third prince does not have strong assistance, the repelled Bei Rong will die and the country will be in chaos. Sooner or later, it will still be over? If you don't Entering the imperial court, one lacks a good minister, I don't believe that the third prince can govern the country well by himself, the emperor is the most unreliable thing!"
The fourth prince said: "The third prince... the son is not that bad, he has no evil intentions and will not harm others..."
Shen Wen shook his head: "He will be an emperor as soon as he becomes an emperor! No one will go to great lengths to protect their throne and supreme power! An emperor can do anything bad!"
Shi Helin shook his hands in fright: "It's a crime, a crime, how can you say that?"
Shen Wen winked at Duan Zeng: "You help your master go to sleep."
Duan Zeng helped Shi Helin and said: "Let's go, don't care about these messy things, anyway, just remember to send the picture..." He returned to the carriage with Shi Helin.
Seeing them leaving, Ji Wenzhao said to Shen Wen again: "I found out that you are not dissatisfied with the prince, but with the emperor. You will not like anyone who becomes the emperor. You will not like such a straightforward and unscrupulous person as the third prince." worried."
Shen Wen sighed: "As an emperor, the most fearful thing is a powerful courtier, I have to guard against it."
The fourth prince said: "Don't the third prince...don't you have a special liking for the eldest lady of the Shen family? If he ascends the throne, shouldn't he pay more attention to the Shen family?"
Shen Wen shook his head: "That kind of situation is too dangerous: behind the empress are powerful relatives, and the new emperor may rely on the support of the Shen family to stabilize the throne at first, but after a few years, when he has experience in court affairs, he will weaken the throne." The strength of the Shen family is to balance the forces in the court, so as to prevent the family from being dominant. If they can’t find an excuse, they will come to murder my father and brother again. The emperor’s mind has always been like this. The most untrustworthy and ungrateful person in the world is the emperor! Leaving him The farther the better."
Ji Wenzhao said: "According to what you said, why should I assist the emperor? Didn't you ask me to die?"
Shen Wen argued: "Isn't this for the common people?! You have gone, and you have introduced many policies that can make the common people live a better life. Do you think I keep you for your own promotion and wealth?" Ji Wenzhao in the previous life Many of the strategies given to the prince are strategies that benefit the people and the country. They have won the prince's reputation, but they have also benefited the people.
Ji Wenzhao mocked: "Thank you for your concern! Anyway, it's all for the common people. I'm going to guard the border now! I won't be assisting the emperor anymore!"
The fourth prince persuaded: "Go, go! When the time comes, I... I will ask the fourth prince I know to make a statement for you to the third prince, saying that you have the talent for playing games and should be used."
Yan's attitude changed, and she said flatteringly, "Brother, if you want to offer pictures, let me be your junior brother and help you build this city." It seems that she also agreed with Ji Wenzhao's decision.
Ji Wenzhao frowned: "You are a woman..."
Yan's stare: "Uncle Yan! What kind of memory does senior brother have?!"
Shen Wen compromised: "Then you use a pseudonym."
Ji Wenzhao shook his head: "I, Ji Wenzhao, do not change my name or surname when I travel. If I die at the border, I will honor my family and win glory for my teacher. I can't do that incognito thing. If the emperor has no courage in the future, why should I go to help?"
Shen Wen scratched his hair: "Don't just think about yourself, it's for the common people!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "You are always too timid! Let's just leave it at that, the third prince is very keen on guarding the border, maybe because Ji Guanren resisted Bei Rong, he looks at him differently!"
The fourth prince nodded again and again: "That's right! The third prince... is a person who has the heart to protect the country. Even if he becomes the emperor, he will never forget his original intention."
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Look, we all think that he should stay at the border. You have to listen to everyone's opinion."
Shen Wen sighed and reluctantly nodded.
Ji Wenzhao immediately said: "Then let me hold this picture."
Zhang Yunzheng shook his head: "No, you don't have martial arts skills. If something happens, you won't be able to escape. What if you die on the road?"
Ji Wenzhao sneered: "You really think highly of me!"
The fourth prince smoothed things over with a low smile: "That's brother Zhang holding the picture, let's take a look every day."
Zhang Yunzheng was puzzled: "Why?"
Yan said in a low voice: "Of course I have to figure out every part!"
Zhang Yunzheng looked at the fourth prince: "Then why do you want to come?"
The fourth prince smiled awkwardly: "Curiosity, curiosity, I've never seen a maze before."
Shen Wen thought about it and said to Ji Wenzhao: "You only present the pictures of the Lost City, don't reveal those weapon pictures, and build them in private."
Ji Wenzhao said confidently: "No, it's really sneaky, but it makes people suspicious. Once I become a staff officer under the cover of Zhenbeihou, I will naturally try my best to advocate the improvement of weapons and equipment. I will do something simple on the surface. Just do what you give in secret."
The fourth prince sighed: "The crossbow arrow I tried is really powerful!"
Zhang Yunzheng said: "It was made by me with a man-made one, and there is also a very large bed crossbow, which is half the size of a carriage..."
Ji Wenzhao said excitedly: "That's great! You have to explain those blueprints to me carefully. Let me tell you, I have read books on weapon design..."
Zhang Yunzheng frowned: "Is there anything you don't know?"
Ji Wenzhao raised his chin: "Very few!"
They stopped in the middle of the night. By now, the east had already seen the dawn, but Ji Wenzhao didn't feel sleepy. He said, "It's starting to light up. Turn off the torches, so we can take a good look at the picture..."
Shen Wen felt that if Ji Wenzhao wanted to be an engineering director, he should familiarize himself with the blueprints earlier, so he asked Zhang Yunzheng to show the general map of the labyrinth and explain the construction of the labyrinth first. Su Wanniang was not interested in these things, so she went to get a needle and thread, and started sewing on the side, as a companion with Shen Wen.
After carefully looking at the picture, Ji Wenzhao and Yan Shi were very excited and asked questions in turn. The fourth prince mostly just listened, sometimes he turned his face to look at Su Wanniang, and he could often meet Su Wanniang's eyes.
Su Wanniang's hair was combed into a middle-aged woman's bun, her face was covered with dust, and she was mending stitch by stitch in the light of dawn. The fourth prince felt like crying: he imagined that they would grow old like this. In middle age, Su Wanniang would still be by his side doing needlework. She is so beautiful, I am willing to stay with her until I grow old.
After Shen Wen talked about the big structure, it was Zhang Yunzheng who explained the details. The three of them talked for a long time, Shen Wen saw that it was bright, and said: "It's time to rest, and we have to go on the road at night."
Zhang Yunzheng put away the picture, Yan said with some concern: "There are traitors around my husband, and there are other people's eyes and ears in Yancheng. With such a big disturbance, there will definitely be people who will inquire."
Zhang Yunzheng said: "Then you have to protect these pictures and don't let others see them."
Ji Wenzhao shook his head: "No, it's okay if others see it, and there should be pictures everywhere."
Shen Wen was taken aback.
Ji Wenzhao said: "I will supervise the construction site, and I will definitely not allow people to go in and see the real situation. Some parts of your maze have no roof, and I will let people build a roof, even if you are from a high place, you can't see it. As for the drawings, hehe, that's different, they have as many as they want!"
Zhang Yunzheng understood, pointed at Ji Wenzhao and said, "You are really bad!"
Ji Wenzhao smiled: "It's a common thing in chess. If you don't play chess, you probably don't understand it."
Zhang Yunzheng said dissatisfiedly, "I understand!"
Su Wanniang leaned over and asked the fourth prince in a low voice: "What is he going to do?"
The fourth prince turned his head and whispered to Su Wanniang: "I need to draw many fake pictures."
Su Wanniang chuckled: "It's indeed bad."
Yan Shi is gearing up: "I'll draw!"
Shen Wen said: "Sleep and sleep! It's not now to paint!" They slept for a day, and when it was dark, they started to march again with the stars as their pointers. Both Ji Wenzhao and Yan Shi were in the car, Zhang Yunzheng was riding on a mule, Shen Wen was worried, so he simply rode a mule too, being by his side was also considered a guide.
The night was cold and windy, and they walked in the dark, bringing up dust like ghosts. The refugees or bandits in the distance didn't approach them even if they saw them. The villages we passed were all dark and starving.
People walked silently, and Shen Wen sometimes looked at Zhang Yunzheng. Zhang Yunzheng slept the least because he was worried about the camp guards. Shen Wen was afraid that he might fall asleep because he was tired these days. But Zhang Yunzheng was still young and full of firepower, even if he didn't sleep for a few days and nights, he could still survive, and he didn't bend over all night.
Shen Wen was very grateful: just like this, it is a rare happiness for someone to walk with her in the dark night. Drifting for thousands of years, she is no longer moved by those luxury and fame, but the helping hand in trouble, the companionship in the cold winter, will always move her...
---------------- In terms of Beirong, Tugu Khan is indeed preparing to attack the Southern Dynasty.
He knew that the Southern Dynasties had been plagued by successive years of drought, and life must be difficult at this time. Although the grassland is also dry, there is never a shortage of meat, and there are not so many people. It will not be more difficult than the Southern Dynasty. The army has been almost deployed, and he is going to fight there in one go, capture Yancheng, and drive straight in.
Ever since Huo Luo knew that the southern attack was a foregone conclusion, he started to deal with the envoys of the southern prince who had been bothering him.
In the beginning, these envoys just came repeatedly to ask for an audience. If they didn't see them, they spent time in the capital and returned after a while when they ran out of money. Another call came again.
Finally, two envoys couldn't wait any longer, so they came to the place where Huo Luo lived.
When they arrived at the door where Huo Luo lived, Chirp chattered a lot, never leaving, and must enter the door. The people in Huo Luo knew that this was the person sent by the Han prince to see the fourth princess, so they didn't pay attention to them at first, but when they saw that they were entangled to enter the door, someone went in and informed Huo Luo.
Huo Luo's emotions are in high spirits: he can finally cross the border! Now, let those southerners see his majesty, let them all beg for mercy under his iron hooves...
Hearing that the envoys had been reported for their insistence, Huo Luo signaled for the envoys to be brought in, and asked to bring in the fourth princess.
The prince's two envoys were still secretly delighted: this time I can finally meet Huo Luo, and if we say a few words about cooperation, we will be able to meet the fourth princess. After completing this task, you can return to your hometown. Who would want to live in this cold northern Xinjiang when winter comes? !
They entered the main hall, and Huo Luo was sitting on a tiger-skin chair. The two envoys saluted, and just said: "His Royal Highness pays tribute to His Highness Huo Luo..." only to find that there were only three or four Bei Rongs around Huo Luo. The sergeant didn't look like an interpreter, the two of them were wondering how could Huo Luo understand Chinese? Outside the door, two Beirong soldiers came in with the fourth princess on their shoulders.
The two envoys saw a woman in rags being thrown on the ground, but they didn't react for a while. It wasn't until one of them saw the long scar on the woman's face behind the messy hair that he said in disbelief, "Fourth princess?!"
When the fourth princess heard someone speaking Chinese, she forced her head up, opened her mouth and couldn't speak.
An envoy turned around and accused Huo Luo angrily: "How could you..." Before he could say anything, Huo Luo raised his hand, and a sharp knife flew into the envoy's chest. The other person turned around and wanted to run, but how could he get out? He was slashed on the back of the neck by a soldier at the door, blood sprayed three feet, and he fell to the ground.
Huo Luo felt that seeing blood before the expedition was an auspicious omen, indicating that his side could kill invincibles. He casually asked the two envoys and the fourth princess who was lying on the ground to be dragged out.
A Beirong soldier asked: "What if the Southern Dynasty asks about it?"
Huo Luo laughed: "Ask what? Their people? We don't know where we went!"
When the soldiers heard this, they also laughed: "Of course, no one knows where the dead man went!"
From then on, the prince's envoys came to kill one batch at a time, so they didn't have to worry about leaking Bei Rong's actions, and also relieved them of the burden of monitoring them, Huo Luo felt very happy.
He followed his father's army to the border, looking south, remembering how those Han soldiers would intercept his food, Huo Luo's blood boiled, and he was ready to kill.
But just three days before Bei Rong was about to launch an attack, an urgent report reached Tugu Khan.
--------------------------
The prince waited and waited, but he couldn't wait for the envoy to come back, so he could only send it again and again. But those who went never came back, and naturally they would not bring back any news about the princess. The prince felt that something was wrong, the fourth princess was his only sibling, no matter how bad-tempered she was, she was still a relative. If something happened to her... the prince felt a pain in his heart.
Looking up, the emperor saw that the prince was a little distracted, and asked after going down: "What's the matter with you? Is there news about the fourth princess?"
The prince knew that the emperor had someone by his side, so he sent people to the northern border to contact the fourth princess, and the emperor also knew about it. He suppressed his heartbeat, and said calmly: "There is a message that she is fine." The prince dared not express his worries to the emperor, he was afraid that once he told his father that he suspected that Bei Rong had abused the fourth princess, the emperor would treat her poorly. The Bei Rong became suspicious and began to pay more attention to the frontier, adding troops to the Beihou...
The emperor was already facing a mountain of memorials about the victims of the disaster, and he had a terrible headache, and he didn't want to ask more about the arrogant and arrogant fourth princess. Seeing that the prince looked calm, he said "oh", and didn't ask any more questions.
The prince was so depressed that he went to Churong's place. Churong's stomach is already very big, and she should give birth after the new year. She can no longer sit there and embroider, and often walks back and forth in the room.
The prince was sitting on a chair, with butterfly spots on Churong's face, but with a gentle smile he was already familiar with, wearing homely clothes, and walking around with a big belly, the prince was suddenly full of hope: if he had Son, before the third prince gets married, the crown prince's position is secure. As long as the third prince is not married, the father might not...
He smiled and asked Chu Rong to come over, and said, "Let Bengong touch your belly."
Chu Rong smiled and said, "The child is kicking."
Sure enough, there was a lump on Churong's clothes, the prince put his hand on it, nodded and said, "He is greeting me."...
Lu Mansion, Lu Taifu heard someone report: "The doctor who saw the woman said that the woman's due date is on the 20th day of the first month."
Lu Taifu smiled: "These days, the prince has been neglected by the court. He doesn't need to respond to what he says. Let him experience the feeling of being alone." The man Nuo Ran withdrew.
Taifu Lu called another person in again, and said, "Pass a letter to the Crown Princess and ask her to get ready, the year is approaching, this year's account, this year."
After the people left, Taifu Lu looked at the narcissus on the table, and sighed slightly: "People who are not sensible should learn some lessons..." But, in this way, there is really no love...
-------------------------- Shen Xiang told Yang that he wanted to visit Shen Wen, and Yang also wanted to give Shen Wen and Yan Bring some things for winter and new year, and ask Shen Zhuo to bring Shen Xiang to send to Shen Wen and the others. Shen Zhuo knew that Shen Wen was no longer there, but he didn't want Shen Xiang to know. He felt that Shen Xiang's straightforward nature might be revealed in his daily life. On the surface, Shen Xiang couldn't be stopped, so he asked the third prince to ride a horse with him along the way.
Shen Zhuo told Shen Xiang that the third prince was coming, and at the same time looked at Shen Xiang seriously. The sixteen-year-old Shen Xiang couldn't hold back his face, so he naturally stopped accompanying him, so as not to appear as if he was rushing to see the third prince. The third prince is now able to stand against the crown prince, and everyone said that he also has the hope of becoming the prince, so Shen Xiang is even more reluctant to show his face.
Shen Zhuo saw Shen Xiang fleeing as he wished, so he met the third prince at the city gate and rode a horse outside the city for a while.
The third prince wanted to see Shen Xiang. Hearing that Shen Zhuo was going to give something away, he thought Shen Xiang would be there too. The third prince combed his hair well, changed into a brand new riding outfit, and arrived at the city gate with great anticipation.
He repeatedly looked at the convoy with only one carriage, but he didn't find Shen Xiang. The third prince's mood was obviously hit, and he was a little listless. Shen Zhuo knew what was going on, so he couldn't explain it clearly, he just rode with the third prince and talked about other things.
When they left the city gate, Shen Zhuo said, "Let's ride for half an hour. Although you have brought people with you, you should be careful."
The third prince said indifferently: "What's so great? The people around me were sent by the emperor, plus a lot of children from the family. If he wants to kill me, he is not afraid to kill others and offend the emperor and the powerful? He is now I live cautiously, I look at my father's face every day, and I feel aggrieved seeing him like that, sir, so what's the fun of living?!" Now, the third prince often has to swear in order to show his roughness , Trying to get rid of his previous normal demeanor.
Shen Zhuo whispered cautiously: "Don't be careless, what if something really happened?"
The third prince said loudly: "Then die! I am living a boring life!"
Shen Zhuo shook his head: "How can you be so irresponsible? How can your life be your own? If something happens to you, what will happen to those who follow you?"
The third prince was also depressed, not because he cared about others, but because he was worried that if he died, what would Shen Xiang do? Will she marry someone else? He said angrily: "Every time I mention marriage, my father changes the subject! Why doesn't he let me propose?!"
Shen Zhuo said: "As soon as you married my sister, the balance between you and the prince was broken. Besides, it's not like you don't know that the emperor is always wary of my family."
The third prince let out a long breath: "Then we'll spend it! Let's see who can spend it! I don't believe it!"
Shen Zhuo laughed: "Have you really accepted the truth?"
The third prince looked at Shen Zhuo seriously: "Yes, I have already made my decision."
When Shen Zhuo thought about his own marriage, he decided not to change it, so he sighed: "My sister is also stubborn, my mother is almost dying of worry."
The third prince laughed loudly, urged the horse: "Let's run for a while!" and ran forward.
Shen Zhuo shook his head: "You are so happy when my mother is worried?" Kicking the horse and chasing after her.
