Why are we always BE

Su Qing's expression changed, and she stepped forward to grab the book.

Jiang Shu put the book directly behind her, took a few steps back to avoid Su Qing, and said, "What are you doing? Didn't you say it was for me to read?"

"My brother also said I can't show it to you." Su Qing put her arms around Jiang Shu, took the book Jiang Shu put behind her, and said seriously.

"Tch, it's boring." Jiang Shu waved her hand and said disdainfully.

"Why did my brother give me this? Could it be that he wholesaled these books and distributed them to people in his courtyard, so he sent them here because he had an extra copy?" Su Qing browsed through it casually, and her face darkened. said.

"Who knows? But you seem to be a little too anxious. I haven't seen anything yet." Jiang Shu waved her hand and said.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to go out to eat something?" Su Qing put away the book and asked.

"Eat something. The king issued a decree yesterday, asking me to enter the palace to meet the saint this afternoon." Jiang Shu said.

"Me too, I'll ask the servants to bring some food, and we'll ride there together in a carriage later," Su Qing said.

"Okay, I'm going back to my room to change. You can use the teleportation charm to send me back," Jiang Shu said.

"Okay, see you later." Su Qing said.

"Don't buy peach cakes later. My brother will definitely buy them and wait for me in the palace." Jiang Shu added before leaving.

"it is good."

Royal palace

Jiang Zehao was walking on the way to the main hall carrying a newly baked peach cake.

"Are you here?" King Shenliang said while coughing.

"See you, Your Majesty." Jiang Zehao saluted.

"I have said it many times, there is no need to salute between you and me," King Shen Liang said.

"I understand." Jiang Zehao nodded.

"Words and actions are not the same thing. Your sister entered the palace today, and this peach cake should have been bought for her." King Shen Liang asked.

"Yes. She has been craving these pastries since she was a child. Taosu is close to the palace. She will probably have to stay in the palace all day. I was afraid that she would be bored, so I went out of the palace to buy it for her." Jiang Zehao replied.

"Your sister must be fifteen this year, and she has reached the age to get married. I have heard a little bit about her arrogance and domineering behavior. I wonder if her husband can stand her fuss." King Shen Liang teased. road.

"You have to endure it even if you can't bear it. At least 40% of her temperament was fostered by her fiancé." Jiang Zehao said with a smile.

"What about the remaining 60%?" King Shenliang asked.

"The remaining 60% are half raised by the Jiang family and half by the two masters in Penglai." Jiang Zehao replied.

"It seems that the phrase 'I don't envy mandarin ducks, nor immortals, but I envy Jiang Shu for having two immortals' is not only not an exaggeration, but also an understatement." King Shen Liang said.

"The king is joking, just listen to these rumors." Jiang Zehao said.

"I not only summoned your sister to the palace today, I also summoned the second son of the Su family to the palace. After a while, I have something to say to Su Qing alone. You and your sister haven't seen each other for two years, so you and your sister Let’s reminisce about the past.” King Shenliang said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..." Jiang Zehao quickly saluted.

"Hey, hey, what did Gu just say, so that you don't have to salute? Didn't you take Gu's words seriously?" King Shen Liang quickly stopped him.

"Yes." Jiang Zehao stood up straight and said.

"Your Majesty, Miss Jiang of the Jiang family and Second Young Master Su of the Su family are here." The father-in-law came to the front of the palace and sent a message.

"Send them up." King Shenliang said.

"Yes."

Jiang Zehao looked at the sick king with mixed feelings in his heart.

When King Shenliang came to the throne two years ago, he was ordered by his family to go down the mountain. On the surface, he entered the palace to serve as the king's assistant, but in fact he became King Shenliang's sworn soldier. When the king is here, he is here; when the king dies, He dies. After staying with the king for two years, he had a clear understanding of the situation in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Su Yan has frequently traveled to various countries in the name of Wang Shang in the past two years. He said it was to discuss business, but in fact he was probably looking for opportunities to defect to other countries.

Although Su Qing is the second legitimate son of the Su family, he is the youngest and most favored legitimate son of the Su family, and he was born with the aura of a true dragon. If he had not been taken away by Penglai, I am afraid that he would be walking on thin ice now.

Although the king was aware of the Su family's actions, he was unable to stop them. Nowadays, the princes and countries are vying to be king and no longer pay taxes and tribute to the Zhou State. The Zhou State's treasury is almost supported by the Su family. If they break up with the Su family at this time, the Zhou State will destroy itself. But if the Su family is allowed to develop, the Zhou Kingdom will not be far from being destroyed.

After King Shenliang came to the throne, the Su family did not send anyone to the palace as a concubine on the grounds that the Su family did not have a young lady of suitable age, so King Shenliang could only make a fuss about Su Qing, the legitimate second son.

It's just that I'm afraid that Jiang Shu will be dragged into the water. After all, the Jiang family is a dead soldier of the Zhou royal family. But no one in the Jiang family wanted Jiang Shu to participate in the whirlpool of royal power, so at that time the Jiang family sent someone to secretly guide Su Qing to hide in Jiang Shu's room, and that's how they became their childhood sweethearts, Qin Se Heming.

Originally, she thought that as long as Jiang Shu married into the Su family, she would no longer need to bear the responsibility of the Jiang family. Unexpectedly, the original plan has now become a flag to control the Su family.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zehao couldn't help clenching his fists.

With this excitement, Jiang Zehao's heart began to feel uneasy, and there was a faint force rioting.

Jiang Zehao quickly recited the Heart-Cleaning Mantra in his heart to calm down the uneasiness in his heart.

Since going down the mountain two years ago, whenever I get emotional, my heart will always riot, as if there is a force that wants to burst out.

When he fell asleep deeply at night, he often dreamed of Jiang Shu, but Jiang Zehao vaguely felt that the difference between Jiang Shu in the dream and Jiang Shu in reality was ridiculous.

In Jiang Shu's dream, no matter how much she tried to make her happy, there was always a hint of sadness in her eyes. Even when she smiled, her smile did not reach her eyes, and she did not speak much. Just looking at her made people feel distressed.

Jiang Zehao always felt that it was his inner demon, but he didn't understand why his inner demon was Jiang Shu. Maybe it was because... he had unwanted thoughts about his sister.

Jiang Zehao was also helpless because he had not had time to go to Penglai to find Chenchen for help in the past two years, and he did not dare to go to Penglai for help.

He was afraid that his forbidden feelings for Jiang Shu would be known, and he didn't know how he should face Jiang Shu now.

It's just that this inner demon appears more and more often, and escaping is no longer a solution to the problem.

I'm afraid, I have to go to Penglai to find Master Chen for help.

"My daughter Jiang Shu, please see Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

"Weak minister Su Qing, please see Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed with peace and prosperity."

Jiang Shu and Su Qing entered the palace side by side and saluted King Shenliang together.

"No gifts, no gifts. I have long heard that the two of you are playing the piano and the harp together, and you are a match made in heaven. Now that I see you, it is indeed the case. It seems that the rumors are also true." King Shen Liang said.

"Your Majesty. We just grew up together, so our relationship is deeper than others." Su Qing said.

"Hahaha, I haven't said anything yet, but I'm afraid I'm going to target Jiang Shu." King Shen Jing laughed loudly and said, "I summoned you to the palace today because Gu Ting Zehao said that his sister Jiang Shu is about to become an adult. , she had a deep relationship with Su Qing, the second son of the Su family, and the late king had to personally arrange a baby engagement for the two of them. Come to think of it, it's almost time for the engagement. I just want to ask you two, when are you planning to get married? Can you let me drink your wedding wine in person?"

The author has something to say: Jiang Zehao is not in love with Jiang Shu, he just doesn't understand it himself. Jiang Shu in the dream was not an inner demon, it was the presence of blood and bones that caused him to be in this situation.
