The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "What's the problem? I just won't take concubines from now on."

Shen Qiujun looked up at the Sixth Prince and saw that he was not surprised at all when he saw the calm look on his face. He couldn't help but wonder: "Don't you think about it carefully? Do you know that if you agree with this, if you really do it in the future... ...Not only are you not allowed to have a concubine, but you are not allowed to have a concubine in the house. You agreed without even thinking about it. I really doubt your sincerity. Besides, maybe you are a good person, right? I don’t like women, but you are sure you can really afford to humiliate this person. I know you are the one who cares about face the most.”

The Sixth Prince shook his head and said with a smile: "What's the matter with facelessness? Does anyone dare to laugh at Marquis Shen? Who wouldn't praise him for his love and justice. When a person is strong enough, no matter what he does, everyone in the world will He is right. Besides, who has the courage to say anything about me in front of me? As for the arrangement behind the scenes, I am afraid that the current emperor cannot convince everyone, and I will not be with that person. A screwdriver can only talk behind the scenes."

Shen Qiujun said in a low voice: "You'd better think about it carefully. You're still young, and women in the world have different styles, so you won't regret it later and become a treacherous villain."

"I've thought about it a long time ago, what else are you thinking about?" the sixth prince said with a smile.

Shen Qiujun couldn't help but look at him in surprise. The sixth prince looked at Shen Qiujun with a smile in his eyes: "I have known for a long time that Sister Yu is the most jealous woman in the world."

Shen Qiujun felt anxious and asked hurriedly: "You, how did you find out?"

The Sixth Prince smiled and said: "I learned about it a few years ago in King Xian's Zhuangzi. At that time, Princess Xian asked you what kind of person you wanted to marry. I was right next to you. It's just that you didn't see it. I thought you What a jealous woman. Whoever marries you in the future will be unlucky. But then I thought about it, you are the most kind, but there is no shortage of women in the world who seem to be weak and harmless but are the most vicious. How can you be their opponent? , I don’t need to bring some trouble in to hurt you just for the sake of face.”

When Shen Qiujun heard this, he was both happy and scared. He was happy that the Sixth Prince really had this intention, but he was scared because he didn't know whether he really meant it.

But for the sake of the Shen family's reputation, she couldn't be an old aunt for a lifetime. In the two lives before and after, she thought she was quite sure of the sixth prince's character. As for the confusing incident between him and Li Yaoqin in his previous life. Shen Qiujun It's hard to be confused in life. Since Li Yaoqin chose to be the concubine of the wise king, she once again passed by the sixth prince. She can't be considered as stealing his husband.

With these thoughts in mind, Shen Qiujun bowed to the Sixth Prince and said with a smile, "In that case, I would like to thank you for your help."

The sixth prince hurriedly stepped forward to support him. He wanted to take the opportunity to touch Shen Qiujun's hand again, but suddenly he had a change of heart. With his current reputation, the Shen family was probably just trying to use him, and would never really take advantage of him. Shen Qiujun's idea of ​​marrying her must not be allowed to let them discover her feelings, so as not to cause complications. As long as the marriage is successful, she will not be able to run away. She will be more or less unable to grasp it by then, so after helping Shen Qiujun up, she will get rid of it in time. Handed.

Shen Qiujun asked the sixth prince to wait a moment, then came to the main courtyard and said to her parents: "Since the sixth prince is willing to help with this matter, my daughter thinks it is an idea."

Father Shen glanced at his daughter and said nothing. Mrs. Shen said worriedly: "You are still young and don't know how sinister people are. Who knows what his intentions are. It's better not to get involved with him."

Shen Qiujun smiled bitterly in a low voice: "Yes, people's hearts are sinister, and relatives can't completely believe it, let alone outsiders. But speaking of it, compared to other people, my daughter still believes in him, and she doesn't think there is anything in her that he can plot. , On the contrary, our family can get something from him. If it is just a temporary measure, then it is using him. If the lie comes true, if the prince ascends the throne and becomes emperor in the future, we can rely on him to keep the Shen family safe."

Father Shen sighed: "As long as you live happily, you don't need to worry about the future of the family. You can be a father yourself. You don't have to trade your life. Otherwise, what's the use of being a father?" I come to see you face to face. The Sixth Prince has a very changeable temperament and it is difficult to control him. He is also cruel and ruthless. I am afraid that he is not a good match and will ruin your life."

Shen Qiujun looked at his parents and said with a smile: "My daughter thinks he is a man of temperament. Although he is narrow-minded, he has a sense of propriety in doing things. I don't know how many times better than those hypocrites. Getting married is a bit of a gamble, and meeting a good person is a gamble." It's your own destiny. If you encounter something bad, it can only be said to be fate. Moreover, this matter may be dealt with perfunctorily, and it will never become true."

Mrs. Shen still wanted to object, but Father Shen stopped her and said, "Well, there must be a result today. Since he can come to our door and ask for help, he has lived up to the friendship he has had with our family for several years. Just think that the Shen Mansion owes him a favor."

Shen Qiujun felt relieved when he heard this, but was immediately filled with expectations and hesitation.

For a while, the Shen family invited the sixth prince to come out to discuss how to explain to the emperor.

Father Shen was worried that the sixth prince would talk nonsense in front of the emperor, so he insisted that he meet with the emperor tomorrow morning to speak out.

The sixth prince was also worried that if he stepped forward, the emperor would think of forming a clique to help the prince seize the throne. Marquis Shen was more respectable in front of the emperor than he, so if he stepped forward, the matter would be much easier to handle.

After the discussion was completed, it was time to turn on the lanterns. Seeing that the matter was half done, the Sixth Prince was extremely excited. He was afraid that he could not control himself and exposed his trap, so he declined the meal from the Shen family and returned to the palace.

As soon as he left Shen's Mansion, Xiao Chengzi smiled and congratulated the Sixth Prince on making his wish come true. The Sixth Prince also laughed proudly and sighed: "What does this mean? I'm afraid my father is not happy with two princes marrying at the same time." The daughter of the family must make this matter a reality as soon as possible, otherwise there will be trouble in the future. I hope that Marquis Shen’s face is big enough."

Shen Lijun also received a message from Mrs. Shen at this time: It's done.

Shen Lijun couldn't help but smile bitterly. The sixth prince had a deep prejudice against the virtuous king, and Shen Qiujun and herself were also at odds with each other. Could the two of them really switch sides and join forces?

I hope that as my grandmother said, Shen Qiujun followed his mother, was short-sighted, extremely jealous, and intolerant of others. When the sixth prince grew up, he would inevitably have concubines, because the queen's sister could suppress the six princes better than the emperor's sister-in-law. The prince turned to himself.

When the Xian King heard about the Shen family's plan, he wrinkled his forehead. From the bottom of his heart, he would rather not have the Sixth Prince as an ally than to have Shen Qiujun marry to the Northern Barbarians. After all, her fate was like a thorn, always stuck. In his heart, it was a pity that the emperor had made up his mind and did not want to take advantage of the northern barbarians. He hoped that the emperor would consider the disadvantages of two princes marrying a daughter from the same family and marry Shen Qiujun to someone else at will.

Shen Lijun looked at her husband's cheerful face before he frowned, and she was also secretly planning in her heart: Li Yaoqin must not be allowed to enter the palace. She is a noble daughter of the uncle's palace. If she has more sons, her worries may not become bigger. After all, He only had one son, so instead of letting her into the mansion and being on guard all day long, it would be better not to let her in from the beginning, wait for the Northern Barbarians incident to be over, give the Cheng'an Bo Mansion a favor, and then give up the idea of ​​Li Yaoqin entering Prince Xian's Mansion. road.

After thinking about it, Mrs. Shen always felt that something was wrong. She couldn't help complaining to her husband: "Why do you have to have the sixth prince? If the lie comes true, wouldn't it hurt Qiu'er?"

Father Shen rubbed his eyebrows and sighed: "I have been thinking over and over again in my heart. To be honest, there are not many children from aristocratic families in the capital who can match Qiu'er. The sixth prince is actually a good candidate. He He is a bit ruthless, but he is also a smart person who is not greedy for power. If he is smart, he can see through the world and know what he is thinking. If he is not greedy for power, he will have little desire in his heart. Such a person can best live his life. Yes, if Qiu'er really marries him in the future, she may not live happily. As for being cruel, which prince is not so cruel? It's just that everyone else hides it, but he is the only one who puts it in the light."

Mrs. Shen still objected: "That's because he has no shame. How is such a person different from a scoundrel? Others have to show face when doing things. If something happens in the future, he won't do it right. But he won't leave others with it." If there is any leeway, that would be a shame."

"But it is undeniable that the Sixth Prince's feelings for Qiu'er are very unusual." Father Shen said. Seeing his wife lowering her head in admittance, he smiled and persuaded: "All this is just to shirk the blame for Beiman. This is a temporary measure. If this matter is over, if something goes wrong, we will cancel the engagement immediately. Anyway, the Sixth Prince has a very bad reputation, and there are plenty of excuses. We can wait until we meet with the Emperor tomorrow to discuss everything."

After the morning court the next day, Shen's father went to see the emperor and bluntly stated that he wanted to use the name of the sixth prince and pretended that his daughter was already engaged, so as to push back the Northern Barbarians' request.

The emperor knew that the sixth prince had become closer to the Shen family in the past two years, so it was not impossible for the Shen family to ask the sixth prince for help. However, if he agreed, it would be equivalent to a golden promise, and the marriage would be truly confirmed, but How could he let the prince marry another daughter of the Shen family? Wouldn't he have another son who would be dragged into the struggle for the throne?

The emperor said: "As a father, I can understand your current mood. Can't you find someone to cooperate at will? Why is it Lao Liu? It's not that I have made a fool of myself. This Lao Liu is really not a trustworthy person. No He has never done anything beneficial, but now that he has not raised any conditions, it is better to be more careful."

Without waiting for Father Shen to speak again, the emperor said again: "I know you said this was a temporary measure, but even though Lao Liu is young, he is full of bad ideas. Aren't you afraid that he will make the lie come true and harm your daughter? Okay, let me tell you the truth, you can make a show with anyone, but you can't find the prince. It's not that I don't believe you, but people's hearts have changed too much, so it's better to take precautions before they happen, so as not to make everyone look bad in the future. I really can’t bear to part with the brotherhood I’ve had with you all these years.” (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
