Marriage of the Di Daughter

The fact that Princess Yongning and Young Master Li were married by Emperor Hong Xiao caused quite a storm in Yanjing City.

Among the honorable families in Yanjing City, there are not a few who want Princess Shang, and even more want to marry the Li family, but after Hong Xiaodi made such an imperial decree, Princess Yongning can only marry Li Xian. So I thought of the idea of ​​Princess Yongning and the idea of ​​Li's family, and I missed it at the same time.

When King Cheng got the news, he was also very depressed. Although he was at odds with Emperor Hong Xiao, on the bright side, he had never been so openly stumbling. Shen Yurong is his man, and Li Xian is also his man. Li Xian may not be ignorant of the matter between Yongning and Shen Yurong. These two are now regarded as his right-hand men, so they can't make internal troubles first. When he inquired with Concubine Liu that there was no room for change in this matter, King Cheng invited Shen Yurong to come to his residence for a gathering.

After all, when it comes to intimacy and background, the Li family is more important. But Shen Yurong also has something that he admires, if this person can be used by him in the future, it will not be a bad thing. Therefore, when everything is not so bad that it is irreparable, King Cheng still hopes that Shen Yurong can work for him.

He invited Shen Yurong to sit down, asked someone to pour tea for Shen Yurong, and said with a pleasant face: "Yurong, today the king asked you to come here because of Yongning's affairs."

With a calm expression, Shen Yurong said, "Your official understands."

King Cheng looked at Shen Yurong, even at this time, Shen Yurong still looked calm and unhurried. He is gentle and calm, with this appearance, it is not surprising that he can capture the heart of Princess Yongning. Even Cheng Wang himself had to admit that this man had an unforgettable demeanor. And as time went by, his official position became higher and higher, and his temperament became more outstanding.

"The emperor's gift of marriage came out of nowhere. What the mother concubine and the queen mother mentioned before was clearly about your marriage with Yongning, but for some reason, it ended up as a marriage between Yongning and Li Xian. I know your relationship with Yongning. You I also understand that Yongning has always admired you..."

Shen Yurong was silent.

"There are tens of thousands of women in the world," Cheng Wang patted Shen Yurong's shoulder, "You are a person who does great things, so you don't have to stick to the love of your children. When you have achieved your career in the future, what kind of woman can you want?"

King Cheng couldn't comfort Shen Yurong that there was still room for twists and turns in this marriage, because it was impossible. Similarly, King Cheng couldn't tell Shen Yurong that Shen Yurong should be patient and just stay for a while, waiting for Li Xian and Princess Yongning to reconcile. It is impossible for the Li family to tolerate this kind of thing, and Li Zhongnan is the person that King Cheng still needs to rely on. He can only sacrifice Shen Yurong, who is not as good as the Li family now, or promise to compensate him in the future.

"This king knows that you are not a short-sighted person, and you have your own ups and downs. In this case, you might as well follow this king wholeheartedly to do great things. It's better than these trivial things." King Cheng said again, but his eyes were somewhat meaningful.

If Shen Yurong and Princess Yongning were truly in love, King Cheng might still find Li Zhongnan to discuss whether they could give in and come up with a plan that would satisfy both sides. But obviously, King Cheng knew from the very beginning that Shen Yurong didn't really love Princess Yongning. In fact, although his younger sister was charming and charming, she had such a bad temper that men seldom liked her. Especially for a proud person like Shen Yurong, it is even more impossible for him to truly love a selfish woman like Princess Yongning.

The reason why she has been entangled with Princess Yongning so far is nothing more than wanting to climb up. This can be seen from the fact that he stood by and watched the family of his ex-wife Xue Fangfei. It's just that he is not poisonous and not a husband, but King Cheng admires Shen Yurong's viciousness. Even if he is not with Princess Yongning in the future, even with Shen Yurong's means and talent, King Cheng is willing to use him again.

Therefore, he was making a promise to Shen Yurong that even if he did not marry the Shen family, he would still not treat Shen Yurong badly.

Shen Yurong said calmly, "Your Highness loves you so much, I am grateful."

He used "Chen", which is the way of a monarch and a minister. When King Cheng heard this, he was really happy in his heart, he laughed and said: "You and I will definitely make a great career in the future! Since that kid intentionally provoked me and played tricks on Yongning's marriage, what should I do? The king did as he wished! Three months, I will definitely give him a big surprise!"

The laughter was unrestrained, echoing in the hall, unspeakably arrogant, Shen Yurong lowered his head, no one could see clearly what he was thinking.

Except for Chengwang Mansion, it was already dark.

Shen Yurong went to Shen's house again. When he went back at noon today, he was questioned by Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun who had driven back from Ningyuan Hou's mansion. How could this happen? Shen Yurong had no choice but to perfunctory, saying that this was all Emperor Hong Xiao's idea. Even so, Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun actually said that they were going to intercede with Princess Yongning, and whether this marriage could be changed, Shen Yurong was very troubled.

For the first time, he took a serious look at his mother and sister, and found that they were not only stupid, but also had developed a temperament that didn't know how deep they were because of what they had asked for over the years. I feel that even the emperor sitting in the highest position can change the golden words and words as he says. And Princess Yongning is omnipotent, any difficult matter, as long as you tell Yongning, it will be solved.

How can you be so naive? Even vexatious.

In the end, Shen Yurong almost got angry with them before telling them to calm down. Even so, Mother Shen and Shen Ruyun looked like the sky had fallen. They probably think that the Shen family's existence today is all related to Princess Yongning. Without Princess Yongning, the wealth of the Shen family will disappear in an instant. As for himself, he is also valuable because of his relationship with Yongning Palace.

How sad.

Shen Yurong thought of Xue Fangfei again, he didn't have that kind of patience, and he could reason with Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun. In the past, when Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun had disputes with Xue Fangfei, Xue Fangfei always backed down. He didn't take it seriously, and just said a few words of comfort to Xue Fangfei in private. When the real him faced it by himself, he realized that there was no reason to talk to his relatives.

It was really difficult for her.

Thinking of Xue Fangfei again, Shen Yurong shook his head, he always couldn't help but think of her. Thinking of the time when she stood under the tree picking flower dew, when she made tea for him in winter, when she added fragrance to her red sleeves... He once had a wife, she was so good that after she died, she still appeared in front of his eyes from time to time .

Shen Yurong walked very slowly, when he reached a corner, someone suddenly called his name: "Master Shen!"

He looked back and saw a person who looked like a maid walking out of the darkness. He recognized that this was Mei Xiang, Princess Yongning's close maid.

Mei Xiang said: "Lord Shen, the princess is waiting for you at the nearby tea house. I have something to say to you, please come with your servants."

This was something that Shen and Rong Naigong were used to, so he didn't refuse, and followed Mei Xiang to the tea house.

Princess Yongning was indeed waiting for him inside.

Princess Yongning looked haggard, and even her breath became extremely weak. I wonder if it was Shen Yurong's illusion, but she seemed to be a little thinner than a few days ago.

"Shen Lang." Seeing him coming, Princess Yongning stood up.

Shen Yurong stood at the door and did not go inside, but said indifferently: "Congratulations, Your Highness."

It was this sentence that almost stabbed Princess Yongning's heart with a knife, and she felt like a knife was twisting in her heart, and she almost burst into tears in an instant.

Princess Yongning said: "I don't want to marry Li Xian, you know, I only have you in my heart!"

For Princess Yongning with golden branches and jade leaves, if someone else hears such a humble, begging words, they may not believe it came from Princess Yongning. Shen Yurong also seemed to be touched by Princess Yongning's crying, he turned his head and looked at Princess Yongning.

"Shen Lang!" Princess Yongning grabbed his hand, "You have to believe me! I told my mother and concubine that I want to marry you, and my mother and concubine also said the same. But the emperor made an order to marry me. Same as Li Xian, I don't know what's going on. I'm still pregnant with your child, how could I take the initiative to marry Li Xian?"

It was this sentence that made Shen Yurong's expression change immediately, and he said, "What child?"

Princess Yongning was stunned for a moment, only to realize that she had slipped her tongue, but looking into Shen Yurong's eyes, she became ruthless again. She had never been able to find an opportunity before, and she didn't know how to talk about it with Shen Yurong, but she said it sooner rather than later, and there will be a day when she will tell it, so why not take this opportunity and tell it all.

"Yes," Princess Yongning said, "I am pregnant with your child, the imperial doctor has seen it, and it is still less than a month old."

"How is this possible?" There was a crack in Shen Yurong's usual indifferent expression, and his voice was not as calm as usual, "How is it possible?"

Every time he had a tender relationship with Princess Yongning, Princess Yongning took the medicine to avoid children. But now she is pregnant, this is no small matter!

"I don't know." Princess Yongning shook her head and said, "Maybe it's because the child-avoiding medicine can't completely avoid it... By the time I find out, it's already too late."

The more she talked, the more Shen Yurong suspected that Princess Yongning did it on purpose, and wanted to use her pregnancy to force herself to marry her. Unexpectedly, Emperor Hong Xiao gave her and Li Xian a marriage in the end, so he panicked.

"What are you going to do now?" Shen Yurong asked.

"What should I do?" Princess Yongning looked at him blankly. When she saw Shen Yurong's slightly cold eyes, she was shocked and suddenly understood. She said: "Could it be that you want me to not want this child!"

Shen Yurong was silent: "His existence is indeed not the best now..."

"No!" Before Shen Yurong could speak, Princess Yongning screamed, "This is my child, I will never allow anyone to hurt him, and I will not lose him either!"

Shen Yurong comforted her patiently: "Yongning, now that you are going to marry Li Xian, if the Li family finds out that you are pregnant, it will be very bad for you. The Li family will never allow this kind of shame, even if you can keep the child for a while." , and may not be born, the Li family will try to get rid of this child, and will have a rift with you and His Royal Highness Cheng Wang."

He thought that Princess Yongning would relax after saying these words, after all, Princess Yongning wanted to listen to what he said in the past. But today, Princess Yongning just looked at him coldly, and said: "You keep saying that you are thinking of me. In fact, you are afraid that the matter will be revealed, and you will be involved as the father of the child. It will make it difficult for you to continue to sit back and relax! Shen Yurong, this is Your child, you have thought of everything, but has this child ever thought of a little bit? Yes, I forgot, you have already lost a child, and you don't care about losing another one. "

Shen Yurong's expression changed drastically.

He had lost a child, an unborn child belonging to him and his wife Xue Fangfei. At that time, when the child he had been looking forward to for a long time arrived, and when he knew the good news, Shen Yurong was not happy. Because at that time, Princess Yongning had expressed to him several times that she liked him very much.

Does having a baby mean it's good? Thinking about it now, when Xue Fangfei had a miscarriage, although he didn't do it himself, after he knew it, he even breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that something was over. At that time, he still comforted himself, even if this child was born, outsiders might say that it was Xue Fangfei's affair with others, and it would not benefit the child's future, so why come to the world to suffer?

Then the last trace of guilt disappeared. He had no joy in the child's arrival and no pain in its departure. Like an insignificant stranger who has long since forgotten about it. But at this time, when Princess Yongning brought it up, he felt as if his heart had been pricked by fine needles, and a dense pain spread out.

Shen Yurong didn't want to stay any longer, and turned to leave, but was hugged by Princess Yongning from behind, she said in a panic, "Shen Lang, I just said something wrong, I said what I said, I didn't mean it. You He is the father of the child, so you naturally like him very much, don't you?" She seemed to want to convince Shen Yurong, but also seemed to want to convince herself, "There is no father in the world who doesn't like his child."

Shen Yurong sighed, turned around, and Princess Yongning looked at him in a panic.

"Do you really want to keep this child?"

"That's right!" Princess Yongning immediately said resolutely, not allowing any doubts, she said: "My concubine also knows about this, she promised that when I marry into the Li family, she will hide it for me!"

Concubine Liu already knew, and Shen Yurong's heart skipped a beat. In this way, it would be impossible to attack the child in Princess Yongning's belly privately. Once something happens, Concubine Liu will be the first to think of him.

"Then how do you plan to hide it?" Shen Yurong said indifferently: "It's less than a month now, and you still can't see it. It's been a long time..."

"The concubine mother will request from the empress dowager to get married next month. After I get married, I will find other ways to fool me." Princess Yongning said: "It's just that after the child is born, the nominal father will be Li Xian. "

She said it with an infinitely unwilling look.

Shen Yurong mocked in her heart, Princess Yongning was not happy, so how could Li Xian be happy? I'm afraid that if Li Xian really knew that he was cheated, he would be able to kill his wife. After so many years on the right, how can he be a benevolent master? I'm afraid he won't be able to swallow such a shame. Princess Yongning's move may even hurt herself.

"Shen Lang, don't worry, my elder brother will make trouble in a few months," Princess Yongning said in a low voice, "When my elder brother becomes emperor, the world will be his. No one dares not to listen to what he said. I asked him to make a decree, I will congratulate Li Xian and be with you, the Li family dare not say anything."

She took it for granted, as if everything would develop as she thought, but Shen Yurong sneered, Princess Yongning was too naive to think about it. The reputation of the Li family is not something she can do whatever she wants.

But right now, there is no second way to go.

If Princess Yongning is going to get married next month, the child in her womb must not make any mistakes, otherwise people may find out the clues. As long as the first month is fooled around, and then tell Li Xian that she is pregnant on the wedding night, she can live in peace for a while.

As for the future... let's talk about the future. It's just that Yongning's chess piece may be abolished. Shen Yurong's eyes darkened.

Princess Yongning didn't realize that Shen Yurong had already had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and she was still chattering with Shen Yurong about her sincerity to him. Shen Yurong said: "I know, Your Highness, I know His Highness's mind."

Princess Yongning looked at him with joy and worry, and she was happy that Shen Yurong's attitude had finally loosened up a little. The worry is that he calls himself "His Royal Highness", which is already very natural.

"Then don't be angry with me." Princess Yongning said, she still lowered her attitude and took the initiative to grab Shen Yurong's hand. After all, this incident was caused by her. If she hadn't gone to find Concubine Liu, nothing would have happened. It will become what it is now. For Shen Yurong, Princess Yongning feels guilty. She said: "I still have you in my heart, only you."

"I know." Shen Yurong smiled faintly, and hugged Yongning into her arms, but her eyes became very distant.

It's time to draw a line with Princess Yongning.

...

At the Chief Assistant Mansion, when Jiang Li got the news that Emperor Hong Xiao bestowed marriage on Li Xian and Princess Yongning, she was also stunned for a moment.

Although this matter was within her expectation, it did not come so fast. But thinking about it, Emperor Hong Xiao also regarded King Cheng as a thorn in his side, and now that he had a chance to tie the Prime Minister and King Cheng together, he would naturally rush to order.

I don't know what mood Shen Yurong and Yongning are in at the moment after they got the news. It's hard to think about it, the plan that has been planned for many years will be ruined in one day. And things seem to be going in a bad direction, and no one will be happy if they change. Princess Yongning and Shen Yurong will not know that this is just the beginning, and the beginning is not too bad, and the following things will only get worse and worse until the end is irreparable.

"What is the girl laughing at?" Tong'er asked curiously. She was happy to see Jiang Li smiling. These days, since learning that Ye Fu Xue Huaiyuan may have recovered his memory and is falling asleep, Jiang Li has been depressed. It is curious to be suddenly happy today.

"I laugh that everything is going well, and my wishes come true." Jiang Li said.

Tong'er blinked, and was about to say something when the branches outside shook suddenly, and a figure appeared cursing.

Tong'er said "Ahhh" and was taken aback, only to see clearly, who is the person standing by the window, not Zhao Ke? Tong'er also knows Zhao Ke now, and knows that Zhao Ke is from the Duke's mansion. Although he had some complaints about Ji Heng's arrangement of his people in the Duke's Mansion, after thinking about it, these guards are all strong in martial arts. If Jiang Li is in danger, these people may be more reliable than the Jiang family's guards. It can be regarded as a free labor, besides, Zhao Ke's identity in Jiang's residence is still a gardener during the day, so there are not many little fools who are gardeners during the day and guards at night, and only receive a monthly silver.

Zhao Ke didn't know that he was already a "little fool" in Tong'er's eyes, so he just said to Jiang Li: "Second Miss Jiang."

Jiang Li asked: "But what happened?"

If Zhao Ke was fine, he would not show up on his own initiative, and more often Jiang Li would blow the whistle to find her. So seeing Zhao Ke, Jiang Li's first thought was, did Ji Heng have anything else to say.

"The matter that Second Miss Jiang asked her subordinates to investigate before is already clear." Zhao Ke replied.

Jiang Li asked, "What's the matter?" She had so many things to figure out, and she didn't even know which one Zhao Ke was talking about.

"Who is the person who spread the news about Ji Shuran?" Zhao Ke said, "It's Jiang Yuanxing."

"Three-bedroom person." Jiang Li was stunned. In fact, the last time she met Sanfang, she had already had some doubts about Sanfang. Jiang Yuyan's food and clothing are much better than usual, and there is also the occasional disdainful attitude that Yang shows. In the past, although Yang would not please, at least he would not offend the eldest and second wife.

Looking at it like this, it seems that there is support behind it.

"Not only that, Jiang Yuanxing has contacts with Li Zhongnan in private." Zhao Ke said.

"With people from the Li family?" Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It seems that the people in the third room really hate the Jiang family." The first room and the second room of the Jiang family are brothers of the same mother. Brother, but the third wife is a concubine, Mrs. Jiang looked down on him, and the two brothers Jiang Yuanbai usually treat Jiang Yuanxing, so naturally they are not as close as they are to each other. But before all, they lived in peace and harmony, but now it's almost to the point of tearing their faces apart. In particular, Jiang Yuanxing actually interacted with the Jiang family's rivals. It is conceivable what the purpose of their association is.

Jiang Yuanxing couldn't rely on the Jiang family to develop his official career, and his own ability was not enough to make him get promoted to a noble. After confronting that Jiang Yu'e could only be a concubine for Zhou Yanbang, maybe it was because she was red-eyed, or maybe she finally saw the importance of power. He went all out, put aside Mr. Jiang's teachings, and found a way to climb up again, which was by betraying the Jiang family.

Tell the secrets and scandals of the Jiang family to the Li family, the rival of the Jiang family, and get a chance to be promoted. Such methods can be said to be very low-handed.

Tong'er and Bai Xue listened silently, and were surprised when they heard that Sanfang was the culprit. Tong'er asked: "Girl, the third master still has such evil intentions, our Jiang family won't be hollowed out by him, right?"

"That's not enough." Jiang Li said lightly, "The third room is in an insignificant position in the Jiang family. Even if Jiang Yuanxing wants to secretly tell the Li family the Jiang family's secrets, I'm afraid he can't tell much. Father and two Uncle was not close to him at all, and would not take the initiative to tell him his secrets. Even if Jiang Yuanxing racked his brains, he might know the same things as the servants of the Jiang family. I think, so far, what he said is true for the Li family. Speaking of the most interesting thing, it is only about Ji Shuran."

"Then girl, do you want to keep the third bedroom?" Tong'er asked, "If the old lady knows about this, she will definitely separate from the third bedroom and let the third bedroom go out of the house to live in another."

Mrs. Jiang has always disliked Sanfang. If she learned about this, Jiang Li could guess what Mrs. Jiang would say. house evicted.

"I won't tell you what the old lady said. It's not useless to keep the third room." Jiang Li said: "The third room is in contact with the right minister. If the right minister gets useful news, he will definitely pass it on to King Cheng. If we need to pass some Sanfang is a good way to give 'useful' news to Chengwang."

Let Jiang Yuanxing wear fake news to King Cheng.

Zhao Ke stood by the window like a piece of wood, but he listened to all the words in the room. I thought silently in my heart, Second Miss Jiang is really a ruthless character, others are afraid that they will be sold, so they have to try their best to count the money for her.

"But I have to tell my father about this, and ask my father to remind my second uncle." Jiang Li continued, "The Jiang family is not just my Jiang family. My father and my second uncle are much smarter than me. They know how to use three Fang Fang, to achieve his own goals. Seeing that the day when King Cheng raises his case is not far away, the more important the moment is, the existence of San Fang will be more useful."

"Thank you, Zhao Ke," Jiang Li looked at the guard in front of the window, "Thank you for me, sir."

"Second Miss Jiang's words, the subordinates will definitely bring them. Farewell." After finishing speaking, Zhao Ke's figure disappeared in front of the window.

He came and went without a trace like this, Tong'er pouted and said: "Girl, you have to talk to the Duke, nothing else, Zhao Ke can protect your safety in the house after all. It's just He keeps appearing suddenly, is the girl a girl, what if the girl is changing clothes? Isn't it being taken advantage of by someone?"

"Didn't you open the window?" Jiang Li reminded, "People also know that when you really want to change clothes, you won't open the window."

"That always feels a bit inappropriate, why don't you change the girl next time." Tong'er suggested, "The kind of girl with martial arts, just follow..." Looking at Bai Xue who walked aside, Tong'er's eyes lit up, "Just Just like Bai Xue!"

Jiang Li smiled and shook her head: "The Duke's Mansion doesn't have a maid, so how can I find a maid with martial arts skills to serve me? Besides, these guards are all gentle and handsome, if you really change the maid, don't you think it's a pity? "Jiang Li teased her.

Tong'er blushed: "The girl went to make fun of the slaves. No matter how handsome these guards are, they can't compare to a finger of the girl. Isn't it normal for the girl to see these guards?"

Bai Xue was tidying up the mattress, when she heard the words she said with a sullen head, "Young lady is used to looking at the face of the Duke of the country, and looking at these guards, she will naturally not be able to appreciate it. It's different from yours."

Jiangli: "..."

Well, although the words are not very nice, they make sense.

Snow White is the face of the Grand Duke hahaha
