Chapter 169 Holding the Hand
"I heard something today that Miss Li wanted to be the concubine of the wise king." Shen Qiuqun said, but he couldn't help but lament the irresistibility of fate. He didn't expect that Li Yaoqin would still be the concubine of the wise king after going round and round. .
In her previous life, Li Yaoqin was treated affectionately by a wise king. She may not be able to forget him once she is reborn. But in this life, the person who is pressing on her is not a wicked woman like herself, but a virtuous and virtuous first wife. Shen Lijun is not herself. , it is estimated that Li Yaoqin will not be able to reap the good fruits under her hands.
The old lady added: "Cheng'an Bo Mansion has already come up with countermeasures. Do you have any ideas? Is it possible that we really want to go to the Northern Barbarians?"
Logically speaking, if he really went to the Northern Barbarians, he wouldn't have to be an eyesore in front of the old lady, which she should be happy to see. However, after hearing what she said, she did not agree. Shen Qiujun smiled bitterly and said: "Who is willing to leave their parents and relatives? Leaving my homeland and going to a foreign country where I am unfamiliar with my life? What can I do if I am just a girl in a boudoir? Everything is decided by my father."
The old lady frowned and said: "I already understand your father's idea. He wants to fight for the future of the Shen family. How can you bear to see the Shen family lose their wealth, power, and even their lives because of you? How can this be so? The Shen family is a sinner."
Shen Qiujun knew that his grandmother was exaggerating. Judging from the emperor's intentions, he did not want them to go to the Northern Barbarians, and he would definitely not take their lives. Moreover, his father's original intention was to use this matter to withdraw from the circle of power and avoid being involved in the struggle for the prince's throne.
Of course, this reason cannot be told to my grandmother. She only wants her eldest sister to become the queen. If she knew her father's true intentions, I wonder what trouble would happen.
Shen Qiujun lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "Of course I don't want to be the sinner of the Shen family. It's just that my granddaughter is stupid and there is really nothing I can do. Please ask my grandmother for some advice."
The old lady possessed herself and said to Shen Qiujun: "You can also study at Amber Mansion in the city, so that your father doesn't have to make fun of the Shen family's future."
Shen Qiujun said with a smile: "How can this life-long event be a piece of cake? Li Yaoqin can be anyone's concubine at will, but where am I going to find someone who is willing to cooperate with me and marry me as my wife?"
"No, you already have someone in mind. Do you still want to prevaricate me?" The old lady laughed and looked directly at Shen Qiujun. It was not until Shen Qiujun lowered his head with guilt that she saw that the old lady slowly said again. : "I think the Sixth Prince will be happy to help you with this."
Shen Qiujun was startled, and said calmly: "How could grandma think of this? You still don't know who he is. How can he be provoked at will?"
The old lady did not answer Shen Qiujun's words, and said slowly: "Your father plans to help no one between the prince and the wise king. If the wise king becomes the emperor, the Shen family will naturally be fine, but if the prince becomes the emperor, .Can he spare the wise king and the wise king Yue's family? Although the sixth prince is a bit confused, this man is very protective of his shortcomings. Naturally, in the future, he can be asked to speak kindly to the prince."
Shen Qiujun sneered: "The old lady is thinking too far. I don't know if he is willing to help."
The old lady said disapprovingly: "As long as he is willing to help with this, you will be 99% sure of becoming the sixth prince's concubine. Just ask him and he will definitely agree."
Shen Qiujun looked at the old lady with ice in his eyes: "Does the old lady really not know what kind of person he is? You have never heard of his methods. How can you trust your granddaughter's life to this person?" In the hands of others, you don't have to worry about how many years have passed. He is tired of his granddaughter. After all, I am several years older than him, and his love is fading, or he thinks that his granddaughter is blocking his way. He is afraid that his granddaughter will not survive until the new emperor ascends the throne. Woolen cloth."
But the old lady shook her head and said with a smile: "He won't. Losing love and sex is a man's attitude towards a woman, but in his eyes, it's not just because he is a man and you are just a woman."
After hearing this, Shen Qiujun couldn't help but look at the old lady in confusion.
The old lady added: "I heard Li'er say that since the two of you first met a few years ago, he has treated you differently. This is just a matter of fate. He has been separated from his mother since he was a child, and your appearance may be... It fills a gap in his heart, so in his eyes, you are a mother and a sister, but you two are similar in age, so now he has begun to treat you with the same eyes as a man treats a woman, even if in the future he will be Other women are confused and alienated from you, but they will never be truly merciless to you, because no beauty can replace the mother's position in a man's heart."
The old lady looked at Shen Qiujun's confused eyes and knew that she was already moved. She couldn't help but smile, got up and helped the girl away.
Shen Qiujun didn't get up to see her off, she just sat there blankly. After everyone had gone out, she walked to the dressing mirror, looked at herself carefully, and muttered reluctantly in her heart: "You can't look at a woman as a man." Do you think I'm just a substitute for my mother? I'm only three years older than him, how can he have such a young mother?"
Shen Qiujun saw a trace of vicissitudes in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel sad. The sixth prince's eyes and mouth were extremely vicious. Maybe that's why he regarded her as his elder. But for a moment, he remembered the frivolous behavior he did to her when they met last time. I couldn't help but feel happy again, forgetting the grudge I had just felt.
At this time Xuexiang came in and whispered: "The Sixth Prince just went to see the Marquis and his wife."
Shen Qiujun couldn't help but feel his heart beat wildly when he heard this, I'm afraid he was here to mention this matter too.
As soon as the Sixth Prince saw Shen Hou and his wife, he brought up the matter of Cheng Anbo straight to the point, and said: "I think Sister Yu can do the same thing. Anyway, it is just an excuse for the Emperor. With my close relationship with your house, I I'm happy to help. Anyway, I can just deal with it for a while. I believe you and I can trust my character."
Mrs. Shen smiled hurriedly and said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Liu, for your enthusiastic help. However, we have already initially selected a candidate, so there is no need to trouble Mr. Liu."
The Sixth Prince thought for a while and said with a smile: "I wonder who he is? He must be a good match, otherwise the scornful stars in the capital will get angry again. Besides, to put it bluntly, Sister Yu is also a bit older. This It would be too false to say that there was such a marriage until the Northern Barbarians wanted someone. But if it were me, there would be a ready-made reason: I was still young, so I waited. Year after year, now that I have grown up, it is time."
Mrs. Shen said hurriedly: "The Emperor just wants an excuse. Everyone in the capital also knows that as long as there is such a person, there is no need to worry so much. It is all a temporary measure anyway."
The Sixth Prince waved his hand and said: "That's wrong. Even if you plan everything for the best, you must also think of the worst result. If the situation forces you to make a lie and it becomes true, wouldn't it be harmful if you brought someone here at will?" Sister Yu?"
Mrs. Shen was speechless and could not help but look at her husband who was just watching the battle with a complaint. Marquis Shen smiled helplessly, and when he was about to speak, Shen Qiujun came.
Shen Qiujun smiled and said, "I have something I want to talk to Mr. Liu alone."
A smile appeared on the face of the Sixth Prince, and he hurriedly followed Shen Qiujun out of the main courtyard. Madam Shen was about to object, but was stopped by Marquis Shen.
The two walked casually into the garden. Shen Qiujun sniffed a blooming flower and said softly: "I have heard everything you said to my parents, and I also appreciate your kindness. It's just that Aren’t you afraid of making a lie come true?”
The Sixth Prince hurriedly smiled and said: "Sister Yu has always been very kind to me, how could I watch you suffer and just stand aside. I helped Sister Yu voluntarily. If fate tricks people and makes false become true, all I can say is this It's God's will. I have nothing to complain about. Besides, Sister Yu is noble in character, dignified and elegant, and has good looks. To be able to marry such a first-class and good-looking person as Sister Yu is also God's love for me."
Shen Qiujun looked at the Sixth Prince and saw that he was looking at her with eager eyes. He couldn't help but feel hot in his body. He quickly turned his head and calmed down his emotions. Then he said: "How old are you? How many women have you seen?" , There are so many outstanding women in the world, how can I be considered first-class? In this mere capital city, I'm afraid I can't even be considered as middle-class, otherwise I wouldn't be so old, but I'm still waiting to become a boudoir. So that I suffered this disaster."
The Sixth Prince hurriedly answered: "It's not that Sister Yu is bad, it's just that Sister Yu is so good. Those people think they are ordinary people and not worthy of Sister Yu, so they feel ashamed and dare not come to Sister Yu."
Hearing this, Shen Qiujun couldn't help but turned around and spat at the Sixth Prince, and couldn't help laughing: "According to what you said, you dare to stand in front of me today because you are a rare good man in this world? Is this a compliment to me or something else? What about praising yourself?"
The sixth prince couldn't help but giggle when he saw Shen Qiujun's smiling face turned red.
Shen Qiujun then said: "I am extremely grateful that you are willing to help me. But you also know that everything must be done according to fate. If you are forced by the situation and you have to fake it, it means We really want to be husband and wife, have you thought about the consequences of this, and can you really afford it?"
When the Sixth Prince heard the words "We really want to be husband and wife" from Shen Qiujun, he felt sweet in his heart and said with a smile: "I have just said that it is my blessing to have Sister Yu as my wife. .Since we are husband and wife, we hold hands with our son, grow old harmoniously with him, share weal and woe, and support each other throughout our lives."
Shen Qiujun lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "There are some things that we should make clear to avoid any unpleasantness in the future. If this matter goes through smoothly, that's it. But if..., I will also say ugly things. Let me tell you first, so that you can weigh it up and see if it is worth helping me like this."
The Sixth Prince hurriedly said: "Sister Yu, please speak."
