The news of Shang Junlin's coming to Zhenbeihou's mansion was kept confidential. Zhenbeihou knew that the emperor was unwilling to disclose it, so he did not explain to the mansion that His Majesty visited the Hou's mansion in person.
Shen Qingran's mother and son only got the news that Shen Yu had returned to the mansion with little fanfare, and it was impossible to think that the emperor would personally accompany Shen Yu back to the mansion.
In the residence of the Marquis of Zhenbei, apart from Marquis of Zhenbei, there are very few people who know the appearance of the emperor. For example, my aunt is not qualified to enter the palace, and she has never seen what the emperor looks like with her own eyes.
It was Shang Junlin's first visit to the Hou's Mansion, and none of the servants in the Hou's Mansion knew him. Hearing Shen Qingran's questioning, they couldn't help turning their eyes to him.
Shen Qingran's words were just blurted out in anger, and he felt inappropriate after he finished speaking, but what he didn't expect was that after being uttered by him, his depressed actions became more and more unscrupulous.
Regardless of everyone's strange gazes, Sullen hangs himself on Shang Junlin's body, and Shang Junlin subconsciously reaches out to protect him.
"Shen Yu, how can you be so shameless?" Aunt Ru put on the airs of an elder, "Now that you have entered the palace, you are His Majesty's man. How can you use an excuse to go back to the Marquis's mansion to have a private meeting with others? You don't want to think for yourself. Think about the Hou Mansion, if His Majesty blames it, will you hold the whole Hou Mansion behind?"
It seems to be a teaching to the juniors, but in fact every sentence contains strong malice.
If Auntie dared to say that, it was because he, like Shen Qingran, knew that Shen Yu had a very close "friend" before entering the palace, and it was also because of this person that Shen Yu resisted entering the palace at first.
Judging from Shen Yu's crazy performance before entering the palace, they have no doubt that Shen Yu can do the thing of meeting a lover privately, maybe he has such an idea from the beginning, otherwise how can it be explained that Shen Yu suddenly obediently agreed to enter the palace thing.
Thinking that she had found a reasonable explanation, Aunt Ru became more rigid in speaking.
"Depressed, it's not that I'm going to talk about you as an aunt, you..."
"You also know that you are just an aunt," the tone changed in a gloomy tone, "It seems that you still know your identity, otherwise I would have thought that Ru aunt, when did you become the wife of the Marquis of Zhenbei?"
Shen Yu deliberately accentuated the pronunciation of the word "Auntie", with a strong sense of irony, as if Auntie was covering her undulating chest, her eyes were red with anger.
Shen Yu admired Aunt Ru's face with great interest for a while, and rubbed his head against Shang Junlin: "Even if I am not a noble king personally appointed by His Majesty, I am also a legitimate son of Zhenbei Houfu. How can I be an aunt? Call me by my first name, Lin, don’t you think so?”
Ah Lin.
It was the first time Shang Junlin heard Shen Yu call him so intimately, his heart trembled, his eyelids drooped, his long eyelashes covered them, and his voice was low and gentle: "Yes, she deserves respect for you."
The intimacy of the two of them as if no one else was around deeply stimulated Shen Qingran, he grabbed the quilt and sat up: "Are you just here to make fun of me?! Relying on His Majesty's favor to do anything wrong, I want to see it, when His Majesty knows what you did If you blame it, what will happen to you!"
"I don't need you to worry about it. If I really angered His Majesty because of this, and if His Majesty is furious, everyone in the Hou Mansion will count as one, and they will all have to suffer with me. Instead of worrying about me, you might as well worry about yourself."
"Depressed! You did it on purpose!"
"That's right, look, you can either help me hide it from His Majesty, or you can all be convicted together, so that you won't be alone." Shen Yu played with the man's fingers and said casually.
"Don't you just leave him alone?" Shen Qingran was startled by the gloomy attitude, and turned to look at the man who was close to Shen Yu, "You know his majesty, why do you still care about your future and get involved with him?!"
Shang Junlin gave a short laugh, and stroked his long, gloomy hair like a crow's feather: "He is still willing to be with me, I am already very satisfied."
"Aren't you afraid of being convicted because of his whole family?" Shen Qingran widened her eyes in disbelief, unable to believe that this man with an extraordinary bearing is actually a love brain.
"As long as it pleases him, I don't care what I do." Shang Junlin looked at the young man in front of him with soft eyes, as if he only saw the young man in his heart.
"..." Shen Qingran was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After being shocked, he couldn't help but feel jealous. The person he likes hasn't visited him since he was sick, and even the messages are very few. Why is he so depressed? Can you easily get the love of two outstanding men? !
Obviously he is the one who time-traveled, and he should be the protagonist of this world!
"Are you envious of me, oh, no, are you jealous of me?" Shen Yu approached step by step, with a soft but cool voice, "Are you very aggrieved, thinking that I robbed you of the opportunity to enter the palace? Think, if you were the one who entered the palace, everything I own now would be yours?"
"I didn't..." Shen Qingran couldn't help shrinking back, he seldom confronted Shen Yu face to face, and the only two times he was frightened by depression.
"No, that's what you think," Shen Yu squeezed his chin, forcing him to look at himself, "Your eyes tell me that you are jealous of my identity as the first son, jealous of the man I met, jealous of me..."
"Shut up!" Shen Qingran turned her head in embarrassment, and pushed away the depression.
The gloomy words were like an ax chiseling through the hard camouflage, revealing the embarrassment inside, the dirty and unbearable thoughts in his heart were exposed to the sun, and it was clear at a glance.
Shen Yu withdrew his hand and stepped back.
"Shen Qingran! How could you be so rude to your lord? Apologize quickly!" Zhenbeihou, who rushed over after hearing the news, saw this scene before entering the house, and sternly reprimanded him.
"There's no need to apologize," Shen Yu walked to Shang Junlin's side, took the handkerchief from him and wiped his hands, "What can he do to me lying there?"
Shen Qingran dared not speak out, he didn't understand, it was Shen Yu who obviously did the wrong thing, why his father, who had always loved him so much, was inclined towards depression.
Is it true that as Shen Yu said, the entire Zhenbeihou Mansion has to cover for Shen Yu
Zhenbeihou gave Shang Junlin an embarrassed look. Shang Junlin concealed his identity and accompanied Shen Yu back to the mansion. Without his permission, Zhenbeihou did not dare to reveal his identity, so he had to ask: "What happened?"
"He said that I met my lover privately and ruined the family tradition..." Shen Yu began to count with her fingers.
The Marquis of Zhenbei's eyes turned black when he heard that His Majesty is still here, wouldn't Shen Qingran be asking for his own death if he said such a thing, if His Majesty blamed the Hou Mansion for this matter... No, he can't let such a thing happen!
Zhenbeihou didn't know what happened before he came, but the situation in the house didn't seem like an irreversible conflict occurred, and there should be a chance to save it.
Suppressing her anger, she said: "Your Majesty, Qing Ran is still young and spoiled by me, he speaks without restraint..."
"It's time to teach me well." Shang Junlin stroked his long, gloomy hair and said in a deep voice.
Unexpectedly, Shang Junlin would speak suddenly, Zhenbeihou was stunned for a moment, and looked at him cautiously, but Shang Junlin didn't give him a look at all.
Unsure of Shang Junlin's attitude, Zhenbeihou had no choice but to agree.
Enough of the excitement, Shen Yu planned to leave, before leaving, he turned his head and smiled slightly: "Father, don't forget, what you promised me before you left the mansion."
Zhenbeihou was startled, and remembered that Shen Yu was talking about Shen Qingran's mother and son. Now that Shen Yu is being favored, of course he can't offend this son, no matter how many thoughts he has in his mind, he can only press it down.
"The minister will never forget."
After Shen Yu left, Zhenbei Hou ignored Shen Qingran's mother and son's sad eyes, learned about the incident from the servants, and left with a sullen face.
Aunt Ru rushed over and grabbed the hem of his clothes: "Master Hou, but he really didn't do it on purpose, he was just confused and depressed, no, your gentleman is blatantly bringing other men to a private meeting in the Hou's mansion because he wants to It ruined the entire Hou Mansion."
Zhenbeihou kicked the man away: "Are you stupid? You believe what he says. Why don't you think about it? The palace is heavily guarded, and he is returning to the Hou's mansion temporarily. How can he have time to communicate with the lover you speak of?" ?”
"That... that is..." Aunt Ru looked up in disbelief.
Zhenbeihou was impatient to continue to argue with her, and said impatiently: "It's just what you think, it's his kindness not to punish you."
"This, this, I really don't know." Aunt Ru's tone was in a trance.
"You mother and son should reflect on it here, and don't step out of the yard without my order in the future."
Originally, for the sake of Shen Qingran's intelligence and ability to please him, Marquis Zhenbei didn't mind taking care of his son more, but now that Shen Yu, who was favored by the Emperor, was in front of him, he had no choice but to temporarily give up Shen Qingran as his son.
I still have to find a way to find out His Majesty's attitude, whether there is any bad impression on the Hou Mansion because of this incident, if there is, Shen Qingran, mother and son will not be able to stay...
Zhenbeihou didn't find a chance to test Shen Yu and Shang Junlin's tone, and he didn't dare to go directly without summoning him, and waited and waited until the news of the two returned to the palace.
I don't know if it was because he had been outside for a long time, but Shen Yu had faint signs of fever. After returning to the palace, Shang Junlin immediately called the imperial physician, and waited for Shen Yu to take a bowl of warm medicine before relaxing.
"Pay more attention to your own body." Shang Junlin frowned and looked gloomy.
When he was in the palace, he had done a good job of keeping warm, and Shen Yu didn't have much chance of contracting the cold. Unexpectedly, he almost fell ill after leaving the palace for less than half a day. For the first time, Shang Junlin realized how fragile Shen Yu's body was.
With a gloomy smile, he came to the man's side, and pressed his hand that was writing the paper: "Isn't there your Majesty?"
"I can't watch you all the time."
"Your Majesty, who else do you want to see if you don't want to see me?" Shen Yu sat on the small case where Shang Junlin put the booklet, and looked down at Shang Junlin.
"What nonsense did your lord say, besides your lord, who else can I look at?" Shang Junlin held his long hair hanging in front of him, "Is your lord happy today?"
Sullen tilted his head and smiled, "Of course I'm happy to be with His Majesty."
Even though some things failed to be done, Shen Yu was really happy to see Shen Qingran's mother and son's unlucky appearance.
"I don't think you are happy because I accompany you."
"Your Majesty, don't you tell me if you see through it?" Sullen eyebrows and eyes curled up, "Is Your Majesty happy today?"
"And... being treated as my lover outside the palace, how does your Majesty feel?"
Shen Yu exhaled lightly and lowered his voice: "Is Your Majesty my lover?"
The author has something to say:
—A little theater after a long time—
The man stroked the young man's long, sweaty hair, and said fiercely, "Ah Yu, what should we do if His Majesty finds out about us?"
Depressed and torn apart: "Don't... don't let him know... um..."
