wealthy queen

The octagonal gazebo is built behind the rockery, not far away is the famous man-made river in the Princess's mansion. At this time, there are several boats floating on the river, with young ladies and gentlemen gathered on it. There are also many people in the garden in front, some in twos and threes. Talking about poetry and essays together, showing off literary talents, some are just joking and joking, basically young people, and the older generation are all gathered in the main courtyard hall.

"Shen Liang? Shen Da's younger brother?"

On one of the big boats on the man-made river, several men with extraordinary clothes and outstanding temperament all noticed the dark red figure. Because of the distance, most of them couldn't see his appearance clearly, but his noble-like demeanor while walking still made people They all looked sideways.

"Yes, Your Highness, he was outside the door earlier..."

A white and clean man with a figure like a bamboo pole leaned over and told what happened earlier. The eyes of several people flickered, but none of them opened their mouths until a very fat man patted his belly and said: "He's such an interesting little guy, the main hall will definitely want to play with him someday."

"Brother Sanhuang, please calm down, and be careful that the emperor's wife cuts off your ration."

His words were quickly retorted by another person, and the fat third prince Qin Yunyi immediately slapped the table and stood up, the fat on his face also trembling: "He dares! The palace divorced him!"

"Xiao Lizi, write down the pen and ink for this hall. This hall will write down the words of the third son, and show it to the third prince and concubine later."

"Brother Emperor!"

Hearing this, Qin Yunyi was discouraged on the spot, and the previous momentum was swept away.

"Ha ha……"

A group of princes were all laughing to and fro. The third prince, Qin Yunyi, was afraid of the third prince and concubine. It was not just a matter of a day or two. Every time their brothers got together, they would like to make trouble with him. Seeing him blushing with anger, their necks were thick. All feel very coke.

"What is Lao Ba looking at? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to Shen Liang?"

Laughing, the second prince Qin Yunlan suddenly turned to the handsome young man who had been looking at the gazebo. Now that they are all adults, they have also begun to show covetousness for the throne. In addition, the emperor has never made a prince or a king. On the surface, they have a very good relationship, but in fact they have already been fighting to the death, and they can't wait to kill each other.

For a moment, except for the third prince, the other princes all looked over. The eighth prince Qin Yuncheng withdrew his eyes and smiled shyly: "What are you talking about, brother two? I'm just admiring the scenery in my aunt's mansion."

Of the nine adult princes, only the eldest prince, the second prince, and the third prince were married, but the second prince's concubine died shortly after getting married, and the rest of the princes were all unmarried.

"I'm afraid Lao Ba appreciates more than just the scenery?"

The fifth prince, Qin Yuntian, gave an evil smile: "I heard that Shen Liang is not only the son of Dongling Marquis, Shen Da's only younger brother, but also the grandson of old General Wei. Father is already planning to let the Wei family come back, and they will be sure when the time comes." Will recognize Shen Liang back, if I can marry him, I'm afraid I won't be able to aspire to the East Palace?"

The current empress has nothing to do, and the nine grown-up princes are all not heirs. The mother concubine of the fifth prince is the imperial concubine, who has been assisting the empress who has been ill for many years to manage the harem. No scruples, no fear of offending others.

"Brother Wu Huang, what did you say? How can we decide the matter of marriage?"

Even if they had that thought, they couldn't express it here.

"Old Ba, you alone know whether it's interesting or not, but this Shen Liang, I advise you not to think about it. The Wei family and Shen Da both hold the military power, and the Wei family has the right to abolish the emperor. Dongling Hou is one of the six Shangshu, Father will not let any of our brothers marry him as a concubine."

Withdrawing his eyes and playing with the wine bottle in his hand, Qin Yuntian seemed to say unintentionally, with Shen Liang's background, being a concubine is more than enough. If he can get the support of Shen Da and the Wei family, let alone the East Palace, he will not be able to ascend to the throne of God. What is difficult? Before he came back, he had thought about it. Unfortunately, the mother and concubine disagreed. Their father not only guarded against outsiders, but also always guarded against them, the grown princes. He wouldn't Letting them control such great power indirectly threatened his throne.

How can there be any real idiots among the princes who have the ability to fight for the throne?

They had tried all the ideas that Qin Yuntian had made, and because of Shen Liang's strong background, they had to hold back for the time being.

"What kind of background? Are you marrying a concubine or someone else's background? There is only one crown prince, whoever the father wants to be established, how much will the quarrel hurt the feelings between us brothers? Come on, come on." , Drink and drink, don't talk about those headaches."

The third prince, Qin Yunyi, suddenly hugged Qin Yuncheng's shoulders, held up his wine glasses and turned towards the princes present one by one. Everyone looked at me and looked at you, and raised their wine glasses one after another. It is really not suitable to talk about those things on this occasion. Well, Princess Yuehua is their aunt, and they dare not ruin her position.

In the octagonal pavilion, Shen Liang didn't know at all that he had become the topic of the princes, Xiang Zhuo was familiar with him, and his conversation was good, so he quickly integrated into the twins of the princes.

"Looking at the weather, I'm afraid it will rain again at night?"

A few teenagers are forced to study this and that all day long, but at this time, they don't like to show off their talents like other people. The topics of chatting are messy, and they can say whatever comes to mind, which is very common.

"I heard from my grandfather that there are floods everywhere in the lower reaches, refugees are pouring into the cities, and the cities are crowded with people. The relief money from the imperial court is completely insufficient."

Xie Yan is indeed the grandson of Ge Lao, his eyebrows could not hide his worry when he spoke, it is a pity that he is a twin and cannot be an official, otherwise he will be a good official for the country and the people, just like his grandfather.

"No, I heard that many people died, all of them were drowned by the flood."

Yang Tianyu, the son-in-law of the Ministry of Justice, couldn't help but agree. These noble sons and sisters don't know how miserable the people are, but they still feel touched when they hear about the dead.

"Drowning is still a good thing. If the disaster is not under control, there is a high possibility that a large number of people will starve to death in the later stage. Once the corpses are not restrained in time, it is easy to breed germs and a plague will break out. That will be the real tragedy."

Shen Liang, who had been dragged by Xiang Zhuo and chattered non-stop, suddenly interjected, everyone looked over for a moment, Shen Liang pretended to be startled: "What? Did I say something wrong?"

"No, we're just wondering, you seem to know a lot?"

Hearing this, Xie Yan asked on behalf of everyone, they were all sons of a wealthy family, what they knew was from their father or others, but Shen Liang seemed to know it himself, and even experienced it.

"Ha ha……"

Shen Liang shook his head with a smile: "Why do I think you are shocked, I am shocked, haven't you heard that I grew up in the village of Zhuangzi, and I just came back half a month ago. I am very interested in medical skills, and I have read a lot of medical books, so I must know more than you."

What Shen Liang said was half true and half false, it was enough to fool these [-]-year-old boys.

"Oh? Then what else do you know?"

At first, everyone thought that he would feel inferior because he grew up in the countryside, and they carefully avoided those topics. Unexpectedly, Shen Liang himself showed a look of indifference. Almost immediately, all the teenagers looked at him with great interest, hoping He talked to them more about common people's affairs, people are curious, the more things they don't have access to, the more curious they are, they usually deal with dignitaries or their children, they are already bored to death, For them, everything about the common people is new and interesting.

Successfully arousing their interest, Shen Liang didn't immediately get into the topic he wanted to talk about, but told them some interesting things that happened in the village in the countryside, and slowly returned to the disaster situation, and suddenly sighed after finishing the story : "I hope it won't rain anymore. The embankment of Wangyue City is not far from the imperial city. If it is washed away, the imperial city will suffer as well. I don't know if the emperor has sent someone to stabilize the embankment of Wangyue City."

The Wangyue City embankment is the largest embankment in the Qin Dynasty. It was built hundreds of years ago. There are thousands of miles of fertile soil below the embankment, and there are many cities. He only paid attention to the disaster and ignored the dam. It was not until the urgent secret report came from Wangyue City that the emperor sent Liu Wenjin, who had just made meritorious service at that time, and Wenyuan, Minister of Rites, to stabilize the dam. This Wenyuan was his next goal.

"I'm afraid the emperor really forgot about this matter, no, I will talk to my grandfather after I go back, let him play tomorrow, and ask the emperor to order someone to go to Wangyue City."

Xie Yan was very clear about the affairs of the court, and he immediately reacted, and the other teenagers also followed suit. No one would have thought that this was exactly the result Shen Liang wanted, but Shen Liang was not considered a To use them, he just needs someone to mention this matter in advance, and it is undoubtedly a credit for their grandfather or father to mention it at this time.

"Thank you sir."

While chatting, someone entered the gazebo again. This time there were men and women, and many of them were known to Shen Liang, but they didn't call him, so he pretended not to see him, and tasted the tea brought by the eldest princess mansion. and refreshments.

"Fifth brother."

There are only so many rich and powerful families in the imperial city, everyone basically knows each other, regardless of their friendship in private, they all take the initiative to say hello, and they also want to get up to socialize, until Shen Qiang called fifth brother crisply, everyone Everyone's eyes turned to the only one who was still sitting there in an instant, and didn't even think about blending into their coolness.

"He is Shen Liang, Shen Qiang, you are just like Tianxian'er, I thought he was so beautiful, but he doesn't look very good."

Standing with Shen Qiang, the girl in goose-yellow veil and brocade looked him up and down, pursing her lips in extreme disgust, but anyone with eyes could see that her eyes were full of jealousy, Shen Liang's beauty has nothing to do with gender. In terms of looks alone, no one present can match her. In his previous life, he was hacked so badly. Apart from the deliberate actions of the Shen family, part of it came from the jealousy of women towards him. Let him occupy the throne of the most beautiful woman in the imperial city by himself.

"It sounds like you are beautiful, but if Liangliang doesn't look very good, you're probably like a wild dog outside."

Before Shen Liang could do anything, Xiang Zhuo suddenly stood up. As the second son of Marquis of Lin'an, he was favored by everyone in his family. Unlike Shen Liang, he had to think twice about what he said or did.

"Xiang Zhuo, you..."

The girl was furious immediately, her eyes widened as if she wanted to eat people alive. Seeing this, Shen Qiang quickly hugged her arm gently, and while comforting her, she said to Xiang Zhuo: "Jiaojiao is a girl after all, it's okay for you to say that." Too much."

"Fifth brother, this matter happened because of you, so you should say something."

After finishing the work, Shen Qiang still didn't forget to grab Shen Liang, so gentle and kind, even a man would fall in love with him, right?Didn't you see that the eyes of several teenagers who came with her were so hot that they were about to bleed out?
