Zhao Momo thought for a long time before saying, "This old slave really doesn't know."
Shen Jin listened curiously, put his finger into Dongdong's hand, and asked him to grab it, "Then besides my father, was there any prince who was about the same age as my mother at that time?"
Mother Zhao thought for a while and said, "Yes, Princess Rui is actually older than King Rui... This old servant thought of something. Concubine Liu died just after giving birth to the sixth prince, and the sixth prince was given birth to the queen mother. Adopted into the palace, at that time the crown prince had already married the crown princess, and the first queen mother was already in poor health. Although the sixth prince was raised under the first queen mother's name, they were all taken care of by the crown prince and the crown princess, and the sixth prince admired the prince very much. ... To be honest, the age of the sixth prince is more suitable for Princess Rui. Before the accident, the princess specially summoned Princess Rui to enter the palace... "
Shen Jin suddenly asked, "How about the sixth prince?"
"Excellent." Zhao Momo said, "The sixth prince was taught by the prince himself." King Rui is far behind the sixth prince, but because King Rui is Shen Jin's biological father, Zhao Momo didn't say that. sentence.
Shen Jin moved her fingers, feeling that Dongdong's hand was soft, "Mother Concubine must be very aggrieved."
Chu Xiuming didn't speak at the side, and Shen Jin asked again, "Mother Zhao, do you think that if the princess concubine wants to marry the concubine mother to the sixth prince, would you let them meet in advance?"
Zhao Momo said, "Yes, the prince and princess are not rigid people, especially the prince will let the sixth prince and princess Rui get in touch first, after all, sometimes even if the two parties are good, things like fate can't be done. I don't know clearly, what if it leads to resentment instead... The Crown Princess loves the sixth prince very much."
It's no wonder that she has to take care of King Rui's promiscuity, but Princess Rui has never cared about it, because she doesn't care.
Moreover, it is only natural that Princess Rui would hate Emperor Cheng. According to Mother Zhao, the relationship between the sixth prince and the crown prince is extremely close, so why would Emperor Cheng keep such a person.
Dongdong's uncomfortable humming caught Shen Jin's attention, and Shen Jin hurried to look, only to find that Dongdong had peed. Just as Shen Jin wanted to do something, he saw that Chu Xiuming had already taken over, and said, "Let me do it."
"Okay." Shen Jin didn't say anything, because he could only see Dongdong once every other day, and Chu Xiuming actually missed Dongdong too.
After the diaper was changed, Dongdong stopped making trouble, Shen Jin didn't think about these things anymore, and Chu Xiuming didn't mention them anymore, and asked, "Is Dongdong making trouble at night?"
"It's okay." Shen Jin said with a smile, "Dongdong is very good."
Chu Xiuming looked at the faint blue color in Shen Jin's eyes, and didn't say anything, but just responded and touched Dongdong's face, "The queen mother should make some moves in the past few days."
"En." Shen Jin nodded, "Can we leave soon?"
Chu Xiuming nodded and said, "Soon."
Shen Jin laughed when he heard the words, kissed Dongdong's small face and said, "Dongdong, we're going home soon."
Chu Xiuming sat beside Shen Jin, and Shen Jin stretched out his hand to push him, and said in a low voice, "I haven't bathed for a long time." After speaking, she gave Chu Xiuming a look. She had already asked her mother, and it didn't take so long. Dongdong is very obedient and she gave birth very smoothly.
"I've wronged my lady." Chu Xiuming comforted her with gentle words.
Shen Jin nodded, she also felt wronged.
Chu Xiuming held Shen Jin's hand, and Shen Jin only felt that something was caught on his hand. He lowered his head to look, but saw that his hand was tightly covered by Chu Xiuming. After feeling it, Shen Jin said, " bracelet?"
"En." Chu Xiuming let go of the bracelet after putting it on Shen Jin, and Shen Jin saw that it was a wooden bracelet, only one finger thick and round, with no carvings on it, only the patterns of the wood itself, But it has been finely polished, there is no rough place.
Shen Jin raised his hand and looked at it for a long time and said, "I like it!"
Since she became pregnant, Shen Jin seldom wore jewelry anymore. After Dongdong was born, even earrings and jade bracelets were no longer on her upper body. Chu Xiuming originally wanted to carve a hairpin for Shen Jin, but Shen Jin Jin can't use it now, so I got a bracelet.
"Beautiful!" Shen Jin shook his hand, this bracelet was originally made by Chu Xiuming according to Shen Jin's wrist, it fits her very well.
Chu Xiuming reached out and pinched Shen Jin's earlobe without saying anything.
Dongdong was gnawing on his little fist, Chu Xiuming took a cloth towel and wiped Dongdong's saliva, Dongdong opened his eyes and looked at Chu Xiuming, he didn't know what he was looking at, Chu Xiuming glanced at it and was still looking for a bracelet Shen Jin looked at his son and squeezed his little fist.
When Shen Jin sat for forty days and was finally able to take a bath, Emperor Cheng got the news, looked at Cheng Engong and said, "Is this true?"
"The veteran would never dare to deceive His Majesty with such a thing." Cheng Engong also said with a pale face, "It's absolutely true, if it weren't for... how could it be possible to become the current situation just because of those anti-people."
The four descendants of the King of England confused Emperor Cheng, and there were even barbarians. Emperor Cheng did not have the slightest doubt. Emperor Cheng was not afraid of things.
"Go down first." Emperor Cheng said in a deep voice.
Cheng Engong said, "Yes."
Emperor Cheng thought of the missing son of the King of England. At the beginning, between the descendants of the Queen of England and the descendants of the prince, he chose to wipe out the prince's line with all his strength. , but now Emperor Cheng regretted it a little, and the lineage of King Ying had no scruples about the throne.
After thinking for a long time, Emperor Cheng only felt a mess, and said, "Go see the Queen Mother."
Li Fu bowed his head in response.
In the Empress Dowager's Palace, the Empress Dowager was not surprised at all when she heard the news from the palace staff. She just sighed and raised her hand. Nanny Zhen bent down to help the Empress Dowager to stand up, and then walked out. Emperor Cheng saw the Empress Dowager , said with a sigh of relief, "Mother, Shuzhong..."
"Nurse Zhen, take people down, there is no need for people to wait on you here." The queen mother interrupted Emperor Cheng and said.
"Yes." Nanny Zhen led the people to salute the Queen Mother and Emperor Cheng, and then retreated first.
Li Fu glanced at Emperor Cheng, and when Emperor Cheng waved his hand, he led his people back and closed the door.
The queen mother sat down and looked at Emperor Cheng and said, "What happened in Sichuan?"
Emperor Cheng said, "Queen Mother, the matter in Central Sichuan was promoted by the sons of the King of England, and they even contacted the barbarians again."
The queen mother was shocked, as if she had just heard the news, she frowned and said, "Is this news accurate?"
"Cheng Engong just found out about it." Emperor Cheng said in a deep voice, "It's not wrong to think about it."
"Cheng Engong... no wonder." The Empress Dowager sighed, "What happened to the Second Prince?"
In fact, Emperor Cheng still valued this son-in-law of the palace, "I let people negotiate, but my life is safe."
The Queen Mother thought for a while and said, "Where is Ru Yang?"
Emperor Cheng shook his head and said, "Ru Yang and his son-in-law have only a short time to go to the border town. Although the progress is not bad, but in the end..."
The queen mother said, "Emperor, the most important thing now is not to let the barbarians break through the border."
Emperor Cheng's face changed and he said, "Mother, let Chu Xiuming go back like this?"
Seeing Emperor Cheng's reluctance, the Queen Mother sighed in her heart and said, "I just want to ask you, which is more important now? Or... which one is more threatening to you, the Queen of England or the descendants?"
"The descendants of the Queen of England." Emperor Cheng said in a deep voice, and the prince's lineage had already been purged countless times by Emperor Cheng, so there was probably no one left behind.
The queen mother said, "If Prince Ying's son really colluded with the barbarians, could Ru Yang and the others resist it?"
Emperor Cheng stopped talking, and understood that if this was the case, Ru Yang and his son-in-law would definitely not be as reliable as Chu Xiuming.
The queen mother let out a sigh of relief and said, "Emperor, the prince of England has been preparing for more than 20 years. This matter in Sichuan is just an opportunity to act. We don't know his other trump cards, so we have to guard against them. Family... I have always disapproved of your dealing with the Chu family."
"But Chu Xiuming..." Emperor Cheng said in a deep voice.
The Queen Mother shook her head and said nothing more, "Think about it for yourself."
In his heart, Emperor Cheng felt that the prince of England was more of a threat. If he really teamed up with the barbarians and approached the city, Emperor Cheng thought of the situation at that time. I feel terrified.
"Then let Chu Xiuming go back." Emperor Cheng decided after thinking for a long time, "Take Shen Jin and the child to the palace and accompany the queen mother."
The queen mother looked at Emperor Cheng and said, "Emperor, do you think it is useful?"
Emperor Cheng said, "I see that he really cares about his wife and children."
The queen mother asked, "Emperor, do you think Yongning Bo will lack a wife and son?"
Emperor Cheng asked, "What does the empress mean..."
The queen mother said, "Emperor, what you need to do now is to win over Yongning Bo, rather than making people feel suspicious. Yongning Bo will definitely not seek refuge with the prince of England."
"I know." Emperor Cheng let out a breath slowly, "I decreed that Uncle Yongning should be named Marquis of Yongning."
The Queen Mother nodded, and said in a soft voice, "You and King Rui are the only two sons in my life. I always want you to be well. Mothers are selfish..."
"Queen mother, don't worry, I will take good care of my younger brother." Emperor Cheng promised.
The Empress Dowager smiled and nodded and didn't say anything else. Emperor Cheng had an idea in his mind and left without saying anything. After Zhen Momo came in, she looked at the Empress Dowager who was twisting the beads and said, "Empress Dowager, do you want to use something?"
"No need." The queen mother lowered her eyes slightly and said, but she was thinking again in her heart, trying to find a way to get King Rui's family to leave Beijing. Emperor Cheng is her son, and she knows it best. When it's okay, Emperor Cheng will naturally Take care of King Rui, but if something happens... It's like marrying King Rui's daughter to Uncle Yongning because of a guess, and he doesn't want to make an edict to sin against himself, so he pushes all the blame on King Rui.
When the imperial decree of Emperor Cheng conferring on Chu Xiuming as Marquis of Yongning was sent to Chu Xiuming, no matter what the people in Beijing thought, they all sent congratulatory gifts, but after receiving the decree, Chu Xiuming's expression did not change at all , just took Xie En's note.
Zhuangzi also got the news, Shen Jin was teasing Dongdong with a golden bell and said, "Is there anything else?"
Zhao Nanny said, "There is nothing else."
Shen Jin said, "Then we are going back to the border town soon?"
Zhao Nanny said respectfully, "Yes."
Shen Jin thought for a while and nodded, "Then nanny, let's pack your luggage first."
Zhao Momo looked at Shen Jin's expression and said, "Madam doesn't seem happy?"
"Because it's useless." Shen Jin said, "Although my husband has been promoted to a title, but we have returned to the border town, this title is of little use."
Shen Jin put the golden bell aside, stretched out his hand to hug his son, kissed his little face and said, "It's better to give some rewards, but I think the salary will be more in the future, which is also a surprise."
Chu Xiuming is not like those people in Beijing, his biggest reliance is not the title, Zhao Nanny laughed and said, "Madam said so."
In Prince Rui's mansion, Princess Rui is packing Shen Xi's luggage. Now that the title has come down, it's about time for Chu Xiuming to return to the border town. "Cuixi, call Xi'er here."
"Yes." After Cui Xi replied congratulatoryly, she went to invite Shen Xi over in person.
The border town is no better than the capital city. It is not easy to put it over there. Shen Xi is dependent on others. Although Princess Rui knows that neither Chu Xiuming nor Shen Jin will treat her son badly, but Princess Rui is a little bit reluctant after all. Shen Xi is very sad. Coming soon, when seeing Princess Rui, she smiled and said, "Mother."
"Come." Princess Rui looked at her son, her eyes softened a lot, and after beckoning Shen Xi to come over, she asked, "Do you like it?"
Only then did Shen Xi look at the thing held by the maid beside her, and Princess Rui said, "Show me a change."
"Okay." Shen Xi agreed.
Princess Rui prepared a set of horse riding clothes for Shen Xi, which is suitable for wearing now. After Shen Xi changed it out, she smiled and said, "Mother, I like it very much."
"En." Princess Rui helped her son tidy up with her own hands, and said, "It just fits well."
Shen Xi smiled and said, "It fits well, thank you mother."
Princess Rui patted her son's head lightly and said, "Okay, come on, I have a few words to tell you."
"Yes." Shen Xi went down and changed his clothes again, Cui Xi had already brought Shen Xi's favorite cakes and fruits, and then went down with the other waiters in the house.
Princess Rui asked Shen Xi to sit beside her, and Shen Xi asked, "Did my mother make the clothes for me?"
"En." Princess Rui brought a piece of snacks to her son and said, "Go back and tidy up these few days, you think it won't be long before your third brother-in-law and the others are going to be transformed, and you will go with them when the time comes."
Shen Xi's eyes were bright, and his face was full of joy. Princess Rui looked at her son and smiled. Shen Xi blushed and shouted, "Mother, I will write to you."
"Okay." Princess Rui replied softly, "I have a few words to say to you today, do you want to keep it in your heart?"
Seeing Princess Rui's expression, Shen Xi also put away his smile, nodded solemnly and said, "Mother, don't worry."
Princess Rui looked at her son's appearance and said, "When you arrive at the border town, no matter what you see, don't send letters back to the capital, you understand?"
"Why?" Shen Xi asked with a puzzled look.
Princess Rui said, "When you get there, you can ask your third brother-in-law or third sister."
Shen Xi nodded and said, "I see, then can I write the scenery and interesting stories along the way to my mother?"
"Yes, but after finishing writing, I'm going to ask your third brother-in-law or third sister." Princess Rui urged.
Shen Xi frowned and said, "I remember."
Princess Rui said, "When you arrive at the border town, don't get close to Ru Yang and the others."
"Son, don't you need to visit my cousin and the others?" Shen Xi looked puzzled.
Princess Rui looked at her son and said, "Go and ask your third brother-in-law or third sister when you arrive."
Shen Xi said, "Does mother mean that no matter what I want to do, I must first ask my third brother-in-law or third sister?"
Princess Rui nodded, "If you have any doubts, you can ask them, but for the rest, don't ask if you know, you have to listen to them."
For the first time, Shen Xi felt that leaving home was not a good thing. Princess Rui said, "Xi'er, before your elder brother went to Minzhong, I told him that if Chu Xiuming is fine, then unless I write to him, Otherwise, don’t come back, I will tell you this sentence today, unless I write a letter to ask you to come back, otherwise you will be in the border town, and everything will be controlled by your third brother-in-law and your third sister.”
"I see, mother." Shen Xi hesitated and asked.
Princess Rui patted her son's head, "Keep it in your heart, you will understand later."
"En." Shen Xi said, "Mother, don't worry, I know that my mother is doing it for me and my brother's good, so she will be obedient."
Princess Rui smiled, "Mother is the happiest thing in this life to have the three of you. What will happen to mother and your sister in the future depends on you two brothers."
Shen Xi nodded solemnly, "Okay, I will definitely work hard."
Princess Rui helped her son tidy up his collar, and then said, "Okay, go back and pack your things, don't bring too much, I will prepare the rest for you."
"Mother, who should I take?" Shen Xi asked.
Princess Rui said, "Take no one with you, your third sister will send someone to take care of you."
Shen Xi nodded when he heard the words, thinking about what to take with him.
On the second day, Emperor Cheng summoned Chu Xiuming into the palace, and said in the study, "Aiqing, Aiqing should pack up her things and go to the border town in these few days."
Chu Xiuming respectfully accepted the order without asking any further questions.
Emperor Cheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Ai Qing knows the affairs of Sichuan."
"I have heard something about it," Chu Xiuming said.
Emperor Cheng sighed, but he didn't hide the matter of King Ying's son. After all, Chu Xiuming is probably the one who hates King Ying the most in this world. Back then, King Ying sold the defense map. In order to expel these barbarians, the Chu family died a lot People, even Chu Xiuming's elder brother, died in battle because of this incident.
Sure enough, Emperor Cheng saw that Chu Xiuming's face changed, "No wonder I always feel that those barbarians have not done anything during this period of time."
Emperor Cheng didn't expect this at first, but now he heard Chu Xiuming's words, and he realized it. In the past years, the frontiers always had constant friction, but now they are so peaceful, "What does Ai Qing think?"
Chu Xiuming shook his head and said, "I haven't been back to the border city for more than a year."
Emperor Cheng said, "The stability of the frontier depends on Aiqing."
"The minister takes orders." Chu Xiuming said in a deep voice.
Emperor Cheng asked, "If you have any needs, Aiqing just say it."
Chu Xiuming narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please call Princess Ruyang and the son-in-law back to Beijing."
How could Emperor Cheng be willing to fall short of success? Hearing this, he said, "Zhongyihou has some abilities, I will order Zhongyihou to listen to Aiqing, don't worry."
Chu Xiuming frowned, but didn't say anything more, "The matter of food, grass, supplies and war horses."
Emperor Cheng heard the words, although he was a little reluctant, he still said, "Don't worry about these lovers."
Chu Xiuming took the order to thank you.
If Emperor Cheng wants to ask Chu Xiuming to do something, then Chu Xiuming can naturally make a request, but if Chu Xiuming asks for food and grass as soon as he comes up, I am afraid that Emperor Cheng will shirk, so first mention something that Emperor Cheng is unwilling to agree to, and let him refuse Then mention food and grass, then it will be difficult for Emperor Cheng to refuse.
In fact, Chu Xiuming would do this because he was thinking of his wife's usual behavior. If she wanted to do something and knew that Zhao Nanny would refuse, she would act like a baby and find Zhao Nanny first. She would never agree to mentioning something. Then after being rejected, and then put forward the real purpose with an aggrieved look, then Mother Zhao will generally agree.
For example, if Shen Jin actually wanted to eat yogurt, he would usually ask for an ice bowl. After Mammy Zhao refused, she seemed to say that the yogurt was the next best thing, and Nanny Zhao would prepare it for Shen Jin.
Although Mammy Zhao also knew about Shen Jin's little tricks, it was a tacit understanding between Shen Jin and Nanny Zhao even if she followed this trick. Chu Xiuming saw a lot, so he used it directly today... Unexpectedly, the effect It's not bad, but Emperor Cheng is not Nanny Zhao, and he never thought that Chu Xiuming's real purpose was food and grass. Even if Emperor Cheng asked Chu Xiuming to let Princess Ruyang and the others go back, Chu Xiuming would not agree.
After Chu Xiuming went back, he personally took people to pick up Shen Jin and Dongdong back to the mansion, and then began to prepare for leaving Beijing. He planned to leave Beijing secretly, so he needed to travel lightly, but now he has to leave generously. Then there is no need for these, Shen Jin also sent people to buy a lot of things, especially medicinal materials.
After Emperor Cheng told about Chu Xiuming's departure from Beijing, King Rui posted a post to invite Chu Xiuming's family to come over to the house, because Shen Qi was about to get angry, so he didn't come out to meet the guests this time, Shen Jin hugged Dongdong Here, Princess Rui went to see the ring in her hand, held Dongdong in her arms for a while, and handed it to Concubine Chen to watch. Shen Jin sat aside and smiled, because during confinement Well-raised, but a little fatter, with a rosy complexion, "Mother Concubine, I'll put Dongdong here, and go to see my sister."
"I'll go with you." Princess Rui said with a smile.
Concubine Chen didn't bring anything with her because she had a child by her side. She was watching Dongdong and King Rui's youngest son playing together on the bed. Such a young child can't really play much, but the two are white and tender. The tender children are lying together, which is very pleasing to watch.
Shen Jin responded, Princess Rui looked at Concubine Chen and said, "Sister Chen, I will leave these two children to you."
Concubine Chen responded with a smile, and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to see it alone, so it's better to let An Ning stay and help." She has seen An Ning's skill, so she keeps An Ning, no matter it is Concubine Chen Both herself and Shen Jin would be more at ease.
"Okay." Shen Jin said with a smile.
An Ning responded respectfully and stood by the bed.
Princess Rui saw that the matter was arranged properly, so she nodded, and walked to the courtyard where Shen Qi lived together with Shen Jin. Entrusted to you."
"Concubine mother, don't worry." Shen Jin knew that Princess Rui asked Shen Xi to go with them, "I will take good care of my brother, but concubine mother...do you really want my brother to go to the battlefield?"
After all, swords have no eyes, no matter how well Chu Xiuming arranged it, if an accident happened, Shen Jin was afraid that King Rui and Princess Rui would blame them instead, and Shen Jin felt that Princess Rui might not have told King Rui about this matter.
Princess Rui didn't know the meaning of Shen Jin's words, she just said, "Young eagles always have to learn to fly, even if something happens, it can't be blamed on you, this is Xi'er's own choice."
In fact, Shen Jin was still a little hesitant, after all, even though Princess Rui said so, it would be hard to say what to think at that time.
Princess Rui naturally understood, she smiled and said, "Girl Jin, we are seeking wealth and wealth. Although Xi'er is still young, he is still a boy. A man should stand upright. Otherwise, how will he become the pillar of the family in the future, and how will he protect his wife and children?"
"Mother Concubine." Shen Jin called out.
Princess Rui said, "Do you know why I haven't told Xuan'er about my marriage?"
Shen Jin shook his head honestly, and asked tentatively, "Because it's not suitable?"
"Because Xuan'er can't protect his wife and children." Princess Rui said, "But it's okay now, and he has grown up a lot."
I don't know why, Shen Jin felt a little sour when he heard Princess Rui's words.
Shen Jin responded, but Princess Rui stopped talking about it, and just said, "Except for Xi'er, the children of my natal family will also come to the border town one after another in a while."
"Mother Concubine..." Shen Jin didn't know what to say.
Princess Rui stretched out her hand and patted Shen Jin's hand, "Sometimes people's luck...forget it, it's meaningless to tell you these things, you go back and tell Chu Xiuming, just say people, sometimes the easiest thing to ignore is the front of your eyes. But that's all."
After finishing speaking, regardless of the confused Shen Jin, she entered Shen Qi's courtyard. Shen Qi was leaning on the soft cushion. , and asked, "Where's Dongdong?"
"Dongdong stays in the house." Princess Rui said, "It's not convenient for you now, so you didn't bring it."
"I still want to see Dongdong more." Shen Qi said with a smile, "Sister, I have someone prepare some things for you, and they will be delivered directly to your house later, if you need anything else, just write a letter Come to know? Don't wrong yourself. "
"En." Shen Jin responded unceremoniously and said, "Don't worry, sister."
Shen Qi somewhat sighed, and said, "I always feel like you just left when you were about to come back."
"Sister, if you have a chance in the future, remember to come and play with me with your brother-in-law." Shen Jin held Shen Qi's hand and said, "I have prepared some things for the child, and I will send them to my sister first." After all, the child's Shen Jin couldn't participate in Xisan and Full Moon.
Shen Qi smiled and said, "Okay."
Shen Jin's dress today is very simple, and she only wears a wooden bracelet on her wrist. Shen Qi noticed it at a glance, but didn't see what kind of wood it was. Shen Jin also noticed Shen Qi's eyes, smiled but didn't say anything. Regarding the matter of the bracelet, after all Yongle Hou Shizi is now in Shuzhong, sometimes it is not easy to say it in front of Shen Qi.
Shen Qi didn't ask any questions, after talking for a while, Princess Rui took Shen Jin away and let Shen Qi continue to rest.
In King Rui's study, King Rui looked at Chu Xiuming and said, "I'll leave my son to you."
"Father-in-law, don't worry." Chu Xiuming said.
Shen Xi stood aside and didn't speak. King Rui coughed awkwardly, "By the way, Xi'er is young, so he won't be allowed to go to the battlefield if he is blind."
"Father..." Shen Xi just wanted to speak when King Rui glared at him.
"I'm talking to your brother-in-law." King Rui said in a deep voice, "Stand aside."
Shen Xi was still a little unconvinced, but he didn't say anything, but Chu Xiuming smiled when he heard the words, "Father-in-law, just rest assured."
King Rui nodded in satisfaction, and said, "It's just that you know son-in-law, Xuan'er is the son of the royal family, and Xi'er still doesn't have a title..."
Shen Xi's face turned red, and King Rui almost said directly that if he was not allowed to go to the battlefield, he would have merit in battle. Chu Xiuming also understood, and said, "Father-in-law, don't worry, son-in-law understands."
Sure enough, King Rui smiled, and consciously protected his son, and let his son get some military exploits. When he was fine, he went to the mother's side again, and he wanted to get a title for his second son anyway.
King Rui explained a few more words, and was satisfied to let Chu Xiuming and Shen Xi go to contact each other. After they got out of the study, Shen Xicai said, "Third brother-in-law, don't take my father's words seriously."
Chu Xiuming heard the words and said, "Do you feel underestimated?"
Shen Xi didn't speak, Chu Xiuming patted Shen Xi on the shoulder and said, "There are no parents who don't love their children. Father-in-law has done a lot for you."
If it wasn't for the two sons, how could King Rui be willing to take risks, but Chu Xiuming couldn't tell Shen Xi about these things in person, "Actually, you can go and talk to your mother-in-law."
Shen Xi nodded and said, "Mother told me to listen to my third brother-in-law and third sister."
Chu Xiuming responded, "I see."
Princess Rui didn't keep them in the mansion for dinner. After all, they were leaving Beijing soon and there were still many things to do. Apart from the things prepared for them, Princess Rui also had the luggage prepared for Shen Xi sent over. But Shen Xi still stayed in Prince Rui's Mansion.
The day before Chu Xiuming and Shen Jin left, Shen Xi was only allowed to go there. This was Shen Xi's first time leaving home, and he was a little nervous and excited, but when he really left the capital, Shen Xi turned his head and looked at the city gate. , but a little more melancholy in my heart.
Chu Xiuming took good care of his wife and brother, saying, "I'll be back."
Shen Xi nodded and said, "En."
In Prince Rui's mansion, Princess Rui sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and asked, "Xi'er and the others have already left Beijing, right?"
"Returning to the princess, yes." Cuixi said.
Princess Rui let out a breath slowly, nodded, "Let me be quiet."
"Yes." Hearing this, Cuixi led the people down, and guarded the door by herself.
Princess Rui opened the jewelry box, and there were some jewelry neatly placed inside, which were all used by Princess Rui. She looked at the magnolia hairpin inside. Although she kept this hairpin here, she had never worn it before. She reached out to take it out. It came out and stroked gently with fingers.
That year, she saw that young man in a brocade robe with a bright smile and full of elegance, and she didn't know what it was like to be sad.
That year, she knew that when they grew up, she was going to marry this young man, when they first fell in love.
That year, they met in the garden of the Crown Prince's womb, and he gave her this hairpin, saying that he wanted to marry her.
When the sophisticated young man saw her, he blushed and stammered, explaining that when he got married, he would give her a jade hairpin carved by himself instead of the one in his hand. Only then did she learn that the young man saw his brother For the jewelry prepared for sister-in-law, she only said that she thought the jade color was suitable for her, so she had the cheek to ask for it.
It's just that she hasn't waited for, hasn't waited for the boy she wants to marry, and she doesn't even know where she should go to pay homage to that boy.
Which of those charred corpses was the boy she had been waiting for.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't recognize it or don't know it, at least in her memory, the boy is still dressed in brocade robes, not those completely changed faces.
She really didn't care about the husband Rui Wang, because she did, the boy she wanted to marry was gone.
In fact, she hadn't thought of these things for a long time, and even the face of the boy was blurred, but she saw the wooden bracelet on Shen Jin's wrist, and thought it was made by Chu Xiuming himself, which made Shen Jin cherish it so much.
Princess Rui looked at the jade hairpin, and smiled lightly. This smile was different from her usual smile. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, not dignified or gentle, but full of spirits.
"When we get married, I will tell Brother Huang, I will take you out of Beijing, and we will travel to every place in Tianqi Dynasty."
"At that time we rode horses in the northwest, and watched the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River..."
"My sister-in-law said that she hopes that I can marry a caring wife. I want to be a responsible person, and I want to protect my wife and children for the rest of my life and prevent them from being wronged in the slightest."
"I want to marry you. I like to look at you smiling, so proud. I will treat you well and make you happy for the rest of your life."
"My brother said that nothing will happen. Besides, I will protect you. Even if the King of England really comes, I will protect you. Even if I die, I will die before you."
