Princess Shen Yi learned this morning that Miss Zhou's body was fished out of Liuhu Lake. Although it was expected, she couldn't help but worry about her younger brother after sighing, so she specifically asked Weiyuan Hou to complain to the Yamen for a long time. During the holiday, the two of them had a good discussion at home about what Shen Fu should do in the future, so when they came over, the couple sounded very consistent.

Although Shen Fu wanted to tell his eldest sister the truth, due to the fact that the brother-in-law of Weiyuan Marquis was also there, he did not explain it later. It was not because he did not trust him, but the person behind the scenes did not find out the relationship between the families. When criss-crossing, it’s better to be cautious.

In this way, it didn't take long for the words to turn into Shen Yi's concern for his brother's lifelong events:

"Oh, I didn't expect that Cousin Heng would be so beautiful and miserable! Later we will go to the Zhou family to see my aunt and the others. The mourning hall must have been set up. Alas, my aunt and Mrs. Zhou must be so sad! Speaking of which, It’s a credit to my brother that you postponed the wedding. Of course, if the wedding hadn’t been delayed, Cousin Heng might not have let it go. Everyone is gone. It’s useless to talk about it. This incident was an accident. Fortunately, we are always relatives. From now on, Just try to find a way to compensate the Zhou family. But brother-in-law, your brother-in-law and I are the only ones in the house now. Cousin Heng disappeared so suddenly, what are your plans in the future?"

Shen Yi knew that her younger brother was not happy with the so-called marriage granted by the Queen Mother, so when she heard the exact news that the Zhou family's cousin's body had been salvaged this morning, she also talked to her confidants. The maids sighed deeply, lamenting how difficult it was for their younger brother to get married.

After sighing, no matter what happens to my cousin, it has finally passed. Now the top priority is to quickly plan for his biological brother after his fiancée is gone.

Cousin Heng's whole heart was focused on her younger brother. Not many people in the entire capital didn't know this. Now that she was gone unexpectedly, Shen Yi thought about it. In order to deserve the affection that the Zhou family had waited for for several years, and to let her younger brother Not to be called a thin lover, it seems not good for Prince Jing to have a serious mistress in the short term. To be honest, it may not be possible to find a suitable candidate for the concubine in the short term, but Adi is already quite old now, so I can only accept a concubine first.

Once she figured it out, Shen Yi suddenly felt enlightened:

Yes, my younger brother loves children. Every time he comes to the house, he always goes to see the two fur monkeys he gave birth to. The second child is still young. The eldest brother, Ah Rong, is closer to his uncle than to his father. No, actually He is closer than he is to his father. Every time he meets Mr. Hou, who acts like a strict father and wants to take exams for school, it is like a mouse meeting a cat. But every time Ah Fu leaves, he will be reluctant to leave and keep questioning him. When will you come again next time?

Therefore, the idea of ​​letting Afuxian take a concubine and give birth to a child is very feasible. There are three unfilial piety and not having an offspring is the worst, not to mention that the younger brother has taken on an important responsibility in the palace. After two years, everyone has forgotten about Sister Heng. In the past two years, I have looked at him a lot, and I think it will not be too late to marry a concubine and have a legitimate son.

This idea was also recognized by Weiyuan Hou who returned home later, so the couple came over to talk to Shen Fu straight to the point. After all, the affairs of the Zhou family are indeed very sad, but at the moment Prince Jing's Marriage is what Weiyuan Hou and his wife really care about.

Compared to the time when the Shen and Zhou families first got engaged many years ago, the situation between the DPRK and China has changed drastically. Therefore, for Shen Yi, all she cares about is how to get her younger brother out of the negative impact of this matter, how to have a successor to the Shen family as soon as possible, and how to deal with the threat. As far as the Marquis of Yuan is concerned, how did he use this matter to continue to retain the power of Prince Jing's Mansion and the Marquis Weiyuan's Mansion in the court of the new emperor and even go further.

The Zhou family was already in decline, and most of its children were playboys, who did not help Prince Jing's palace. Now that Miss Zhou family has left, Shen Fu's marriage must be seriously reconsidered. In this way, the concubine that Shen Yi advocated happened to be Wei's wife. Approved by Yuan Hou.

After just saying what they thought as a couple, Shen Yi found that her brother frowned and did not answer the question or express his position immediately.

"What, Ah Fu, do you think this is not feasible? Or is it too early to say so?" I know that my younger brother is stable and will not rush to express his position, but from the look on his face, it seems that he does not agree with this matter very much?

Shen Yi glanced at Marquis Weiyuan next to her and saw her husband wink, telling her not to continue asking questions. Then she saw him clearing his throat and asking:

"Afu, but are there any other considerations?"

Shen Fu thought for a while, and he would know it when he goes to court tomorrow anyway. After all, he is his brother-in-law, so there is no harm in telling him now, so he frankly stated his plan: "Tomorrow I will tell the emperor that I will keep filial piety for Ah Heng." Year-"

"What? Are you crazy?" Shen Yi, who was so excited that she stood up immediately, stopped her before she finished her words: "This is so random! One year of mourning? Do you know what you are talking about?"

I didn’t really like Cousin Heng much, so I even laughed at him for not understanding this, right?!

Thinking of this, Shen Yi looked at her brother with a shocked face: They all say that things are impermanent and you should cherish the people in front of you. Now that cousin Heng had an accident, my brother realized that he regretted it? So he learned from the pain and decided to treat his cousin Heng in the past. She is so deeply in love that you want to stay filial piety for her for a year?

It's not impossible. The two have known each other since they were young, and the two families have never stopped contacting each other over the years. As close relatives, keeping filial piety can also be an excellent explanation for the Zhou family, but at best they are just fiancées, and for one year It’s a bit too long!

If the emperor really wanted to be right, then why would he have any side concubines?

Thinking of this, Shen Yi sat down slumped, her tone softened, and she began to persuade her brother in a soft voice:

"Afu, do you want to think about this again? I also know that Sister Heng is a good person, but people cannot be resurrected. No matter how filial piety is observed, she will not be able to come back. And you are not young now. No matter what, this huge Prince Jing's Mansion must be passed on, right?" The three-year period of filial piety for my father had just passed, and now he has to start observing filial piety again. Shen Yi also felt sorry for his younger brother, so he motioned to Marquis Weiyuan next to him: " You also say something!"

Marquis Weiyuan smiled helplessly, bowed his hands to his wife, and then heard him ask Shen Fu what he just said:

"Afu, but are there any other considerations? Why don't you tell us both today?"

Seeing the couple staring at him with bright eyes, waiting for the answer, Shen Fu felt a little sorry. Unfortunately, there were still some things that he needed answers to urgently. He couldn't give a specific explanation, so he could only bite the bullet and answer:

"Please, eldest sister and brother-in-law, please be considerate. Now is indeed not the time to accept a concubine. As for keeping one's filial piety, tomorrow—"

"Let's go!" Shen Yi couldn't listen any more. She slapped the table and called to Marquis Weiyuan, who was still listening carefully: "Go to Zhou's house!"

"Hey, I'm talking about Madam." After all, Marquis Weiyuan was from the court, and he was not as caring as his wife. Seeing Shen Fu's helpless look, he knew that there might be something hidden behind it, so he just said helplessly. He got up and before leaving, he said something meaningful to his brother-in-law:

"Now that you have thought about it, you must be prepared for the reaction in the palace tomorrow."

After saying that, he hurriedly went out to chase his wife, who had already walked away angrily.

Over here, Shen Fu, who rarely saw his sister so angry, felt a little sorry, so he walked in the bamboo forest next to the study room. Just thinking about the concubine, he finally felt depressed, and he couldn't help but vomit a few breaths, and then Seeing that it was getting late, he went to the inner courtyard as if by some strange mistake.

He didn't realize it until he saw the inner study room in front of him. Unfortunately, Chuntao outside the study room had already seen him. The little maid's eyes lit up, she walked a few steps quickly and saluted, and then said in a way that she thought only she and the prince could. He looked up with understanding eyes and asked Shen Fu:

"My lord, do you want to have a (discussing) book (things) with (my sister) in the (cousin's) room with my (little) sister?"

Shen Fu was speechless, lowered his head and asked her: "Where is Chunyu?"

"Sister Chunyu is in there," Chuntao rolled her eyes. The prince was followed by the maid holding the lamp, but she couldn't reveal her secret. She quickly added: "I don't know what I'm doing."

Grandma Shen's rules are very strict. Originally, she was not allowed to show up casually near the inner study. As the maid in charge of the inner study, it is normal for Sister Chunyu not to know what she is doing. Of course, Sister Chunyu is actually talking to Miss Cousin now. Chuntao felt very satisfied with her adaptability.

Seeing her proud expression with bright eyes waiting for praise, Shen Fu glanced at her without saying anything, turned to the maid holding the lamp and said, "Okay, please step back!"

Then he entered the inner study room.

Naturally, the two people inside had already known about the commotion at the door. Seeing him come in, Chun Yu saluted him, then wisely exited the door to stay with Chuntao.

"Why is the prince here?" Zhou Heng was a little surprised. It was supposed to be dark at this time, so why did Shen Fu come suddenly? Fortunately, he hadn't eaten yet and was dressed neatly. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask again: "have you eaten yet?"

Shen Fu actually came in with all his strength, but he didn't expect that the other party would say such a common word. For a moment, he felt a strange emotion in his heart: Such a common word, but he hadn't heard it in many years. !

Since the death of Princess Jing, Shen Fu has been basically staying with his father who rarely smiles. Although Grandma Shen and other elderly people in the inner courtyard help take care of daily life, Shen Yi was still a maid at that time and was just a servant after all. , cannot be the boss of Prince Jing and his son, and the other is a young princess. Sometimes she doesn't want to eat three meals a day on time, let alone pay attention to her younger brother all the time. Therefore, for Shen Fu, these years have been good. It is said that you can do whatever you want, but because of this, you have lost the life experience of ordinary people.

Now when he heard Zhou Heng raise his head and ask himself such a sentence, he saw her smiling brightly in a pink skirt. The dusk sunlight shone slantly through the window, and her whole body was bathed in the sunlight, with a hazy look. Crimson red, I felt my heart tremble suddenly.
