Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

In the imperial garden, there was a palace maid serving nearby, so it was not difficult for the two of them to find a place to have a cup of tea.

After finding a nearby pavilion and waiting for the maid to bring tea, Shen Huaixu said: "This matter is long and short. You should have heard about the Jiang family in Huaizhou..."

She said the matter as concisely as possible. After speaking, she took some tea to moisten her throat and looked at Cang Heng who was thoughtful.

Cang Heng pondered and asked: "I once had the chance to meet Marquis Xuan Ping. He was..."

The words 'dying' rolled around on the tip of my tongue, but when I said it, I was a lot more euphemistic, "It didn't seem to be good, but now it seems to be cured?"

When he saw Marquis Xuan Ping in the main hall, he looked just like an ordinary person. He did not associate the person he saw with the Marquis Xuan Ping he had seen before. There is also the emperor's grandfather. He was not sick the last time we met. After a serious illness, his complexion was much better than before.

"Yes, recovered."

Cang Heng looked steadily at Shen Huaixu in front of him, and Shen Huaixu looked back at him frankly. The atmosphere between the two was stagnant for a moment, and then quickly disappeared. Cang Heng took the lead to look away and picked up the paper in front of him. Take a sip of tea.

What Shangguan Ruoyan found happened to be the scene where the two people were looking at each other. She bit her red lips and stared at the two people not far away, her neatly manicured nails almost digging into her flesh.

Wang Ru glanced at Shangguan Ruoyan's face and whispered: "Ms. Shen has a life-saving grace from His Highness the Duke. It's not surprising that they are familiar with each other..."

A look of jealousy flashed across Shangguan Ruoyan's pretty face. She grabbed the branches and leaves in front of her and pulled them off. The newly grown leaves on the branches died prematurely.

I don’t know what Shen Huaixu said, but it actually made Prince Jinghe laugh. Seeing the same dazzling smile blooming on Shen Huaixu’s face, she turned around bitterly and whispered: "As expected from the untouchables." He was born to seduce people at a young age, a born dirty child!"

Wang Ru glanced at Shangguan Ruoyan and said that Shen Huaixu still had the blood of the previous royal family flowing in his body, and that Shangguan's family was just a humble family before he followed His Majesty. This was so good that he even scolded his own family.

She only dared to think about it in her heart, and she would definitely not say it out loud.

"Why does Sister Yan'er have to be the same as her? It can be seen from this incident that regardless of the other person's status, His Highness the County Prince is a person who values ​​friendship. This is the best."

Shangguan Ruoyan glanced sideways at her, "Of course I know he is good."

She turned her head and looked at the two people under the pavilion again, and said pointedly: "I'm afraid I'm not the only one who feels that way."

Wang Ru stood silently on the side as a wooden stake, not daring to take a breath for fear that Shangguan Ruoyan would come back to her senses and notice that she who said the words just now felt the same way.

"Hmph! Shen Huaixu, she'd better not run into me next time!"

After saying this through gritted teeth, Shangguan Ruoyan left angrily.

Wang Ru saw that she was walking fast and disappeared after a while, so she simply stopped chasing her. She turned around and looked at the two people under the pavilion. No matter how she looked, she couldn't see any charming emotions in them. She looked at Shen Huaixu again. The adopted one has a bit of baby fat on his cheeks, so he is obviously still young.

Worried about being discovered if he stayed too long, Wang Ru also left quickly in the direction Shangguan Ruoyan left.

Hearing Fu Tuan's reminder, the smile on Shen Huaixu's face deepened a little, and Cang Heng's expression on the other side was incomprehensible.

"What's on my face?" He raised his hand to touch it.

I have seen many times before Shen Huaixu smiling innocently and beating others up, so I always felt that it was not a good thing for this man to smile so brightly.

Shen Huaixu waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing.

"I was just thinking that the capital has become lively since you guys came here."

"Busty?" Cang Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, "You'd better stay away from such bustle, so as not to get involved for no reason."

"I don't get involved randomly. I only get involved if someone makes me happy."

Cang Heng knew that she knew how to measure, so she just mentioned a few words and said no more.

The two talked for a long time, and they were not ready to leave until the palace servant came to remind them. Before leaving, Shen Huaixu asked Cang Heng: "What do you think the situation of the people was like when our group fled?"

Cang Heng was stunned and didn't understand why Shen Huaixu suddenly called him His Highness. Looking sideways at Shen Huaixu's serious face, he replied seriously: "The people are in dire straits."

"So what now?"

After thinking for a while, he said: "You can vaguely see the skylight."

He benefited a lot from being on the run. When he came to the capital from Qianzhou, he subconsciously paid attention to the conditions of the people he met on the road. Compared with the various tragic situations he had witnessed before, they were much better now.

"His Highness is able to understand the sentiments of the people and care for them, which is a blessing to the people." Shen Huaixu said with a smile, "I used to plant sweet potatoes, feed them carefully myself, water them carefully every day to drive away insects, but they wilted all day long, but in the backyard I planted a plant at random, but it grew more and more gratifyingly. At this point, I understood one thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Some things can't be forced. What's yours will eventually be yours, sooner or later." She stopped and said, "I'm going to find my father. Your Highness, go slowly."

Cang Heng took a deep look at Shen Huaixu and nodded slightly.

Watching Cang Heng's leaving figure, Shen Huaixu said to the eunuch: "Please, father-in-law, please lead the way."

On the way out of the palace, Shen Huaixu was still thinking.

She did not regret saving the emperor, but the choice she made must have harmed the prince's interests. But she heard that before she came to the capital, the emperor had already written a will. As soon as the emperor died, the world would change hands, and King Kang or King Yan would choose one of them.

She once asked her father who of the two princes was most likely to be chosen by the emperor to succeed him. Her father only said that Prince Kang had no heirs, but didn't say much else. In fact, just one sentence is enough.

She didn't know much about King Yan, and she could only get a glimpse of King Yan's attitude towards her from Cang Heng's words and deeds, but she didn't see anything wrong so far.

But what worries her the most is what Futuan said before - if I can rebel, my son can rebel too.

It can't be called 'rebellion'. No one in the family can be said to be against anyone. 'Quickly rise to the top' is more appropriate. Her last words were just to stabilize Cang Heng. She could only wait a few years at most, and she could always survive until nine The one who holds the position of Five Supreme Beings.

I've done everything I can, just wait and see what happens. Shen Huaixu thought awkwardly.

On the second day after the birthday banquet, Eunuch Xi came to the Xuanping Hou Mansion with the reward given to Shen Huaixu by His Majesty.

It was already unbelievable for a person with a foreign surname to win the title of County Lord, not to mention that Shen Huaixu had just received this title not long ago, and the reward could only be some gold, silver, jade, and fifty taels of gold.

She didn't have to worry about having more money. Shen Huai expressed her gratitude joyfully. Before her father could make any move, she took out the red seal she had prepared and gave it to Eunuch Xi.

As soon as Eunuch Xi touched her, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

After this banquet, Shen Huaixu got in touch with Princess Chaohua. Even though Chaohua always complained about Shen Huaixu taking advantage of her, she would always send someone to inform Shen Huaixu if there was something interesting.

Shen Huaixu went when she was free and not when she was busy. Some people said that she always took Qiao. Chaohua was not happy after hearing this and asked the little lady whether it was more important to have fun or save people's lives. One sentence made the man speechless. right.

After Shen Huaixu heard about it, he was so happy that he went to Chaohua in person to express his thanks and got back something rare.

Time flew by quickly, and the next day came the college exam. The college exam was still in Qianzhou. He had gone through two exams, and the third time went very smoothly. Jiang Erlang prepared very carefully this time, and his results in the first two times gave him a great deal. I feel confident this time.

After the college exam is over, it’s the most difficult time of waiting for results.
