Sister Yu didn't expect her mother to ask her this question. She was stunned for a moment. Seeing that her mother seemed serious, since it was a lifelong event for her family, she didn't care about the girl's shyness, so she simply replied: "No."

Cheng Xiumei couldn't help but asked curiously: "Why is it bad? Do you hate your prince cousin?"

Sister Yu sorted it out in her mind and explained: "My cousin is a kind and gentle man. How can my daughter hate him? It's just that my daughter has always regarded him as her elder brother and has never had other ideas. How can these brothers and sisters be husband and wife?"

Cheng Xiumei laughed when she heard this and said: "This is your etiquette as a girl. However, you two know the basics. Isn't it better to marry someone than to marry an outsider? Besides, your cousin's wife is worth more than ten thousand people.

The queen is just like your aunt, with indescribable splendor and glory."

Sister Yu was a little anxious and said hurriedly: "Since I think of him as my brother in my heart, I'm afraid that he also thinks of me as his sister in his heart. If we really get married, my heart will feel weird. If this continues, my daughter is afraid

I want to be Gillian Chen. And to be disrespectful, although my aunt has limited fame, in the eyes of her daughter, she feels like a bird in a cage at this time."

Cheng Xiumei didn't expect her daughter to think like this and couldn't help but look at her in surprise.

Sister Yu said: "Although a daughter-in-law mostly has to stay in her husband's family for the rest of her life, she can also go back to her parents' house during the New Year. Even if they are close to each other on weekdays, they often have to move around. But as for my aunt, when she was Princess Anle,

, so carefree and free, now once we enter the palace, we rarely leave the palace once in the past two years, so we have to let us enter the palace for a visit. It is tantamount to being in jail, and my daughter does not like this kind of life. If my aunt really

If you want to mention this matter, please ask the mother to take some of the trouble away from her daughter."

Seeing the worried look on Sister Yu's face, Cheng Xiumei felt much relieved knowing that her daughter had no intention of marrying the prince at all. She smiled and said, "Since you said that, how come my mother doesn't do what you want? It's rare for my son to do so."

I think clearly, but my mother got it wrong."

Sister Yu also smiled and said: "It's not that I don't want to understand, but my daughter can obviously take advantage of the influence of the queen's aunt and the prince's cousin. To be domineering in front of the world and enjoy the envy of everyone, isn't this feeling better than being in prison in the palace?

Much more wonderful.”

Cheng Xiumei felt more and more relieved after hearing this, and then she told Shen Qiujun that she no longer had the idea of ​​sending her daughter to the palace.

But when Shen Qiujun heard Sister Yu's words, he really sighed at her transparency and felt a little sorry for his son. Fortunately, Brother Song has always been self-disciplined and believes that the parents should make the final decision on their children's marriage, and he is still too young to realize it.

At that time, Shen Qiujun was very strict, so he never had any affection for the women around him.

Of course, this is a later story. I just want to say that since Zhuang Chengrong intends to play tricks on the two Shen brothers, he naturally wants to check the results from time to time, so it is not difficult for him to know about Sister Shen and Shen Lijun.

On this day, Xiao Chengzi reported on the current situation of the Shen family again. Zhuang Chengrong smiled with satisfaction and said: "Sister-in-law Shen is a wonderful person. I was worried about not being able to deal with Shen Lijun and her son, but she helped me solve this problem. In this case

, I also took advantage of the situation to help her. If the three of them, mother and son, are not rubbed off, the palace of the Duke of Wei will not be built for a while. It is best for them to bite each other and destroy each other before they can be called me.

Where is my heart?"

Xiao Chengzi knew all about his master's bad tastes, so he just laughed along with her. Zhuang Chengrong also warned: "You don't need to tell the queen these things, lest she feel uneasy again."

Xiao Chengzi smiled hurriedly and said: "The queen is busy with affairs now, so naturally we can't bother her with such trivial matters."

Zhuang Chengrong nodded, his words were true. Shen Qiujun was indeed very busy these past two days entertaining the Queen of the Northern Barbarians, Princess Changning.

Compared with the previous life, the Northern Barbarians have also undergone great changes in this life.

Because Shen Qiujun killed General Xiao that day, the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince completely lost the support of the Xiao family, and also disappointed the Northern Barbarian ministers because of the failure of his mission. The plan could not be implemented, so the old Northern Barbarian leader was able to live happily for a few more years until Zhuang Chengrong won the throne.

Princess Changning did not have many convenient conditions in her previous life, and it was not easy to live in the Northern Barbarian Palace. In this way, although she resented Da Qi in her heart, she also knew that Da Qi was her only supporter. But if she wanted to get Da Qi's approval, she had to You also have to make some achievements yourself.

So in these years, she tried her best to win the favor of the old king. After more than ten years, she really occupied a place in the heart of the old king, and also laid the foundation for her later alliance with the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince, thereby ending the conflict between the Northern Barbarians and the Northern Barbarians. The war between Daqi and Qi played a certain role.

Naturally, Shen Qiujun didn't know these details. She looked down upon Princess Changning in her previous life, but she didn't dare to ignore Princess Changning's influence in the Northern Barbarians and her contribution to the stability of the Daqi border in this life. Now it seems that she is actually What a wonderful woman. How can such a person not be loved and respected?

For both public and private matters, Da Qi must make a face for Princess Changning during her return to China.

Therefore, when Zhuang Chengrong was negotiating state affairs with the Northern Barbarians, he did not forget to show his favor immediately, generously rewarded the Huai'an Prince's Palace, and specially gave a courtyard adjacent to the Huai'an Prince's Palace as the residence of Princess Changning, so that she could During this time in Beijing, I often got together with my parents to relieve the pain of being separated from my parents for many years.

Lord Shen Qiu invited Princess Changning to the palace from time to time. Rewards and banquets continued, and all the princesses were ordered to accompany her. Princess Changning suddenly became the most famous person in the capital.

On this day, Shen Qiujun took advantage of the wine to talk to Princess Changning for a long time, and the people next to her made fun of her from time to time. Shen Qiujun thought about the different experiences of Princess Changning in her two lives, and felt something in her heart for a moment, and brought it up again. A little drunk, he ordered someone to put down the four treasures in the imperial palace, and wrote a Zhaojun poem as a gift to Princess Changning: "The general, the staff, the Yue, the concubine, and the Fan, both received the favor and came out of Jade Pass. We fought for the country whether we were alive or dead, but I dare to complain about my misfortune."

Although Princess Changning has deep feelings for her homeland and relatives, she is no longer a little girl. She knows that the glory she has in Daqi today is because of her own value. To put it bluntly, she and Daqi are just getting what they want. Da Qi wanted to use her prestige and power in the Northern Barbarians to achieve border peace, while she used Da Qi as a backer to consolidate her position in the Northern Barbarians.

But when she saw Shen Qiujun comparing her achievements with Wang Qiang's and praising her actions in poems, Princess Changning couldn't help but moisten her eyes, and she regarded Shen Qiujun as a close friend.

Moreover, Shen Qiujun is the mother of a country, so her attitude naturally represents the Emperor of Da Qi's opinion of herself, not to mention the importance of the mother of the country in the heart of the Emperor of Da Qi. This cannot help but move her and make her feel The sacrifices I made before to marry and have my stepson were worth it.

Yes, today Princess Changning still married the Northern Barbarian Crown Prince after the death of the old monarch. Although this is a very common thing in the Northern Barbarians' eyes, she has been educated in the orthodox ideas of the Central Plains since she was a child. In Princess Changning's heart, this was a shameful thing.

At that time, she was a young girl accompanying the old king of the country with white hair. Although she felt aggrieved, she still married a chicken and followed the chicken without any other ideas. She was a widow remarrying. However, marrying a stepson always violated the ethics in her heart, but At that time, she had no better choice but to follow the fate, but there was always a deep sense of shame hidden in her heart.

But Da Qi's high praise for her today finally made this heavy burden go away from her heart. Princess Changning said movedly to Shen Qiujun: "With these words from the empress, I have not lived in this world in vain. I dare not let down Daqi and its people in this life."

Shen Qiujun hurriedly smiled and said: "You have done a good job. If it were not for your full efforts, I am afraid that the people on the border between the two countries would still be in dire straits at this time. Therefore, Daqi and its people will never be I love and remember you, and you must also live a better life as a woman, so that the relatives in Daqi will miss you less."

Princess Changning smiled with tears in her eyes and said, "I will definitely do what the empress said, Daqi will always be my hometown."

Although everyone had only listened to the poem once, and it had gone in one ear and out the other, they also knew that it was Shen Qiujun who praised Princess Changning. Now seeing Princess Changning's extremely moved expression, they all hurriedly came forward to praise Princess Changning. Outstanding talent and Shen Qiujun's agility.

Shen Qiujun felt embarrassed. He turned his eyes and saw that Li Yaoqin was also present. He felt even more embarrassed. He couldn't help but smile at Li Yaoqin, but he didn't know that it was this smile that made Li Yaoqin feel unhappy in the following days. This is I’ll talk about it later.

When everyone returned to their seats and enjoyed the singing and dancing, Princess Changning's mood had calmed down, and she smiled at Shen Qiujun again: "I just did what I could, but I don't dare to take full credit. I would also like to thank my brother, General Shen, who sent someone to secretly advise me early on, making me understand more things. My vision is not limited to competing for favors with others. Later, during the chaos in the Northern Barbarian Kingdom, I also learned more about things. It was because he sent someone to help me that I achieved this small contribution in the war between the two countries. However, these things are not easy to put on the surface, so I haven't thanked him properly."

Shen Qiujun was a little surprised after hearing this. She did not expect that Shen Zhaoying would do such a thing. Princess Changning said again: "General Shen led troops well at the border and made great contributions in defending the border. The people all praised him. They all said that Daqi was a bit like that." The general is truly a blessing to the Qi Dynasty. Now that I have met the empress again, I realize that the reputation of Marquis Shen is well-deserved. Not only did he contribute to the founding of the dynasty back then, but he also taught his children well."
