Volume 1: Huatangchun Chapter 6: King Heng Is Not a Good Match
After Xiao Zhe and the Queen walked away, Shen Tong took Qing Xi's hand and said hurriedly: "You are so fearless that you don't care about any situation. If the Queen hadn't come to the rescue just now, you don't know how it would have ended. !”
Qingxi was not afraid at all: "Sister Tong, don't panic, Your Majesty will not do anything to a little girl like me, not to mention that what I said is good."
"You!" Shen Tong tapped her head. "Come and see, I haven't seen you for half a year. How have you changed?"
Qingxi turned around and said cheerfully: "How can I change? Sister Tong, why do you seem to have lost weight?"
"Is there any?" Shen Tong immediately touched his face.
Qingxi saw that her expression suddenly dimmed, and felt that she had said something wrong. The East Palace was no better than the Shen mansion before, and the life of the Crown Princess was not necessarily happier than that of Miss Shen's family.
"Sister Tong, how is His Highness the Crown Prince treating you?" she couldn't help but ask.
Shen Tong lowered her head slightly, and the hairpins on her head touched each other, making a slight sound, as if something fell into the deep pool of her heart. After a while, she looked up at Ling Qingxi and nodded: "He treats me very well. ."
Qingxi smiled. She could see that Shen Tong was sincere. Her own mood was also very complicated. She always thought that she would become his sister-in-law. Her brother would treat her like jewels. But now she heard another man say: She is very good, and I am happy from the bottom of my heart.
She changed her tone and joked again: "The only thing I look forward to when I come to Baoding Mountain is to see you. But I'm afraid of disturbing the prince and princess. It's a shame that you still think about me. Why, princess?" Your Majesty, you don’t have to accompany Your Highness today?”
Shen Tong's cheeks instantly turned red: "You are just trying to make me happy." She seemed to be puzzled, and her tone became serious: "The prince is with the Sixth Emperor at the moment. He must be talking about some worldly affairs. I don't know yet. When will you come back? I originally wanted to send someone to invite you to come over for a reunion. But I didn’t expect my father and mother to come later. When I mentioned this, I asked Guo Douzhi to go. It seems that they are more interested in you. "
"Really?" Qingxi disagreed. "I don't think so. Didn't he just leave without saying a few words?"
"Although I didn't say a few words, it doesn't necessarily mean that I didn't leave a deep impression." Shen Tong raised his eyes and smiled even more: "Maybe I can also recommend you a marriage or something? Let me think about it, it seems that the Sixth Emperor is still lacking A princess."
An ordinary girl would be shy and embarrassed when it comes to marriage, but Qingxi was not embarrassed at all. She smiled calmly and said, "Although I am a little curious about His Highness the Sixth Prince, but this joke of yours... But I can't accept it. Your Majesty probably didn't have a good impression of me just now. A wife of the royal family must be as gentle, courteous and thrifty as you. I am naturally not in line with the Holy Spirit."
It was not easy to be the daughter-in-law of an emperor's family, and she wouldn't even think about it.
Shen Tong chuckled and shook his head. He wanted to tease her, but she spoke more calmly than she did. She knew very well that in fact, the emperor himself might not have the final say in the marriage of the sixth emperor's brother. Thinking of this, she He sighed and said, "King Heng is not a good match."
Qingxi quite agrees with this conclusion, just because of his status as a prince. Since ancient times, the relationship between husband and wife in the ruthless emperor's family has always involved conflicts of interest, so how can they be a good match? For example, when Shen Tong married into the East Palace, was it just because of the prince's love? Admiration? Isn't there a force behind the imperial power to consider it?
Naturally, she couldn't tell Shen Tongming what she was thinking about, but even if she didn't say it, she knew it personally.
Shen Tong changed the subject and chatted about trivial matters at her daughter's house. The two of them chatted and chatted, and they didn't realize that the moonlight outside the house was getting darker. The prince sent someone to report that he and his sixth brother had a great time chatting, and he might have to stay overnight. The Crown Princess did not need to wait. Shen Tong was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to inform Ling Deyan that he wanted to stay with Qingxi overnight. As soon as the attendant left, Qingxi felt something was wrong.
"Sister Tong, I am happy that you and I are reunited. But after all, our status is different now and the occasion is different, so it is inconvenient for me to stay. Besides, His Highness the Crown Prince only said that it is possible, and maybe he will come back later."
Shen Tong just had an idea and didn't think much about it. Now that she reminded him, he thought it was inappropriate and wanted to send someone back to call back the people who had gone first, but she stopped him again. "It's so late, dad must still be there." If he is waiting for me, let him think I am here and let him rest early. Besides, I plan to go back soon. Sister Tong, don't send anyone to see me off. I have never had the chance to walk alone while going up the mountain. You know, I’m so bored, how about just letting me go back by myself? Let’s also feel the fresh air in the mountains.”
Shen Tong understood his nature and really wanted to fulfill her harmless thought, so he nodded. He stood up and walked her to the door. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said: "How is your brother?" This sentence, she said today. It slipped to her mouth several times and she swallowed it back. Qingxi also seemed to have a tacit understanding, avoiding that person in all topics. But she always felt that she would be sorry for not asking this question. A lot of meetings.
Qingxi's smile condensed on her lips and she replied softly: "You know my brother's personality well. He will not let himself be bored and lonely. He is very good, don't worry." She paused and said in a more serious tone: "You, me, and him are actually just like family members."
"Yes, dear." Shen Tong sighed, and there was too much helplessness and sadness in this sigh.
Relatives are already the best connection between you and him.
It only took a moment, and all the emotions were buried behind a heavy smile.
