wealthy queen

This night, an imperial decree messed up the plans of many people, and the only ones who were happy were probably Pei Yuanlie, Shen Liang and others who got what they wanted.

"Woooo..."

Covering her face and rushing back to the dormitory, Shen Qiao threw herself on the bed and cried heartbroken. It was so miserable. Her maids were all standing by the bed helplessly. Whenever they tried to go up to persuade them, she would frantically go to them. Throwing things on the body, all the pillows and quilts fell to the ground, and what Zhao Lan saw after chasing in was this scene.

"Second lady."

"Go down and come in when you are called."

"Yes."

Swinging back the maids, Zhao Lan sighed helplessly, stepped forward to touch her daughter's body, stretched out her hand and hugged her in her arms: "Does your son have a stomachache? Why don't you find a doctor for your mother?" You see?"

The thoughts of the daughter's family, if the mother doesn't know the truth, it must be a lie. Even if she didn't find out before, she should be aware of something tonight, but seeing her crying so sadly, Zhao Lan didn't care. Bearing the heart to cut directly to the topic, she pampered her stomach that was kicked by Shen Liang with her right hand.

"mother……"

The more people cared about Shen Qiao, the more sad Shen Qiao cried. A beautiful little face was covered with tears. Zhao Lan felt that his heart was about to break. He held her face and wiped it for her while sighing: "Silly Qiao Son, why did you fall in love with King Qingping, even if there is no Shen Liang today, there will be someone else in the future, King Qingping is not something we can imagine."

Even if she blindly thinks highly of herself, she still has to admit that they are not worthy of King Qingping. If the Wei family is the number one rich family, then King Qingping is the number one princely family, and it is more than enough to match a princess. It's them?If Shen Liang hadn't been backed by the Wei family, he would also be ineligible.

"But, but I just like him, woo woo..."

Shen Qiao finished speaking sobbingly, then cried and threw herself into her arms. She was only ten years old at the time, but she saw Pei Yuanlie coming on horseback from a distance outside Tianmen Academy, and her heart was full of love. It was firmly tied to his body. In the past four years, she carefully hid her feelings, for fear that others would find out. Before that, she never thought of being able to marry King Qingping, but why Shen Liang?Why can he be the Zhengfei of Prince Qingping, and spend his whole life by the side of such a charming and beautiful figure, while she can only watch from afar?She refused to accept it, she couldn't accept it, anyone could do it, except Shen Liang.

"Mother, help me find a way, I don't want Shen Liang to marry, don't..."

After crying for a while, Shen Qiao raised his head pitifully in her arms. Zhao Lan smoothed his hair for him distressedly, and sighed helplessly: "You, didn't you hear that before? King Qingping is in danger now, There is a possibility of passing away at any time, Shen Liang was a widow when she married..."

"I don't listen, I don't listen...you don't love me anymore..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Qiao covered her ears and shook her head vigorously, then dragged her up and pushed her out stiffly after finishing the work: "Get out, you get out, I don't want to see you, get out..."

"Qiaoer..."

"bump!"

Being pushed out of the room by her daughter all the way, Zhao Lan was angry and anxious, but Shen Qiao couldn't listen to what he said at all, and closed the door with a slam in front of him.

"Qiaoer, Qiaoer..."

Fearing that he would do something stupid, Zhao Lan slammed on the door a few times, and Shen Qiao's hysterical roar of smashing things came from inside the room: "Get out, get out, I don't want to see you, get out..."

"Qiaoer..."

Zhao Lan was stunned at the door of the room. The daughter at this time was undoubtedly quite unfamiliar to her. Could it be that he really liked King Qingping so much?

"Second Madam..."

The maids all looked at her worriedly, Zhao Lan recovered and waved her hand: "Miss' condition is not stable, please be more vigilant at night, and notify me immediately if something happens."

"Yes."

Shen Qiao's maids didn't dare to speak out, they both bowed their knees to answer, Zhao Lan took one last look at the closed door, and led the maids out of his yard.

"What's the matter with Qiao'er? A boudoir daughter, who has no manners, is the first to yell at her cousin and even wants to do something. If word of this gets out, how will she marry into a good family in the future?"

Before Zhao Lan stepped into her room, Shen Ruiqing's questioning came to her ears first, and a feeling of exhaustion that she had never experienced hit her heart, Zhao Lan walked in and sat down: "You ask me, who should I ask? My daughter is not mine alone, now that I know I care about it, why did you go there earlier? What else do you do besides hanging out with those vixens all day long?"

Zhao Lan's mood was extremely bad because of her daughter's abnormality. Shen Ruijiang was a member of the third household, and the third householder, Shen Ruijiang, had neither a son nor a concubine. , the second room also has three sons and one daughter, but the eldest son is a concubine, which is why Shen Liang is ranked fifth, not to mention the rest of the concubines.

"You, you are simply unreasonable, crazy woman!"

Shen Ruiqing was so angry that she couldn't breathe, and was about to leave as soon as she shook her hand. Zhao Lan was even more furious when she saw this: "Where are you going? Are you going to find a vixen again? Shen Ruiqing, your first daughter has been bullied like that, you Still in the mood to spend time and drink?"

"She deserves to be bullied. If she didn't do it herself, why would she be bullied? You have taught me a good daughter!"

Shen Ruiqing was also mad with anger, even though he loved Shen Qiao very much on weekdays, he was a little outspoken at this moment.

"You...Okay, Shen Ruiqing, I've fought hard with you..."

"Stop Zhao Lan, you crazy woman...stop..."

The couple had a big fight when they disagreed, and the maid who was waiting outside didn't care whether she would be punished or not, so she hurriedly opened the door and rushed in to pull them away. After all, Zhao Lan was a woman, so she was slapped twice , her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her bun was undone. She really looked like a crazy woman.

"Crazy woman!"

The carefully pasted fake beard was pulled off, and two scratches appeared on the more delicate cheeks. Shen Ruiqing gave Zhao Lan a hateful look, turned around and strode away.

"Get out, give me everything..."

Zhao Lan lost all her composure, and drove the servants out like crazy, locked herself in the room like Shen Qiao and smashed things crazily.

In contrast, the third room was much quieter. Shen Ruijiang was worried about the old lady, so he took his wife and daughter to accompany him in the Hexiangyuan. As for Liu Shuhan, mother and son, they were all gloating and waiting to see Shen Liang's good show, so excited Didn't sleep all night.

"Master Hou, it's time to go to court."

Shen Ruiting was also unable to fall asleep. After receiving the imperial decree, he returned to the study and stared at Wei Zeqian's portrait until Chen Xiang pushed the door open to break the silence of the room.

"Xiangzi, do you think I was really too cruel to that child?"

He has been thinking about this question since Shen Liang came back. Every time he hears others praise him, he doesn't know how to react. As long as he thinks about his evil physique, he killed his beloved wife at birth. That bit of goodwill will disappear in an instant, leaving only hatred and resentment.

"Master Hou, you also have your own reasons, but the fifth young master is really outstanding. Every time I see him, I feel like seeing my wife. He looks too much like my wife."

Chen Xiang couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. When he was talking, his eyes kept looking at Wei Zeqian's portrait. If he insisted that the fifth young master was not like his wife, it might be because of his personality. The wife was born in a family of generals and was spoiled by the Wei family. Yes, with a lively and willful personality, bold and uninhibited, while Fifth Young Master, who has not been favored since childhood, is inevitably a little quiet and paranoid.

"Just because, like, every time I see him, I get angry."

Shen Ruiting sighed deeply, and said helplessly before leaving: "Since it is an unchangeable fact that he married King Qingping, let's prepare more dowry for him, and you can discuss it with Sun Jing later, by the way Open the storeroom in the front yard, pick a few better things to add to the dowry, and share half of Da'er's rewards, I think he should be happy to give it to him."

"Okay my lord."

Chen Xiang who went out with him couldn't help showing a smile, if his wife was still there, everything would be more perfect.

The morning court of this day was indescribably weird, and it ended in a short time. During this period, the housekeeper Lin of the Qingping Palace and the commander of the Iron Armored Guard Tianshu had already taken the official media to the Dongling Hou Mansion, and Shen Ruiting went back. At the time, Sun Jing was entertaining them for tea, but Liu Shuhan and the second and third wards were not there, and it was obvious that they wanted to embarrass them. Unfortunately, Lao Lin and Tianshu are not ordinary people.

"Master Hou, this is a post from our lord."

After he was seated, Lao Lin couldn't wait to take out the Geng Tie and hand it over, and Shen Ruiting also asked Chen Xiang to pass Shen Liang's Geng Tie to them.

"Due to the special situation of the prince, we hope that we can complete all the three books and six ceremonies except the wedding ceremony within today. Due to the limited time and the weather outside is not very good, we have converted the dowry into equivalent property. Please Master Hou took a look."

After exchanging Geng Tie, Lao Lin took a boxy sandalwood box from Tianshu and handed it over. Shen Ruiting opened the box and took a look: "[-] catties of gold, [-] shops in the imperial city, and [-] Zhuangzi from various places... ..."

The more he looked down, the more frightened Shen Ruiting became. He already knew that Prince Qingping's mansion was rich, but it was too rich, right?Ten thousand taels of gold is considered extravagant, but when they sold it, it was actually twenty thousand catties, and the shop was even more valuable. Even if it was a queen of a country, the dowry gift could not be so much.

"Will this... be too much?"

After a while, the corner of Shen Ruiting's mouth twitched and asked, are they here to hire or to show off their wealth?

"Not too much, not too much, we still think it's too little. From now on, the princess will be the master of the palace, and everything in the palace will belong to him."

Lao Lin waved his hand, not taking it seriously at all. Compared with the princess, this dowry gift is not worth mentioning at all.

"Well, regarding the time of the wedding, the queen's phoenix body is still in the palace, we have to wait for a day that won't conflict with the queen..."

Helpless, Shen Ruiting had no choice but to accept, but before he finished speaking, out of the corner of his eye, Shen Liang, who was dressed in red, came in, and couldn't help but look at him, Lao Lin and Tianshu quickly got up when they saw this: "Princess! "

"Well, I heard that the prince's condition is not very good. I have also learned some medical skills, and I am going to visit the palace. Since you are here, I will go with you."

Ignoring Shen Ruiting, Shen Liang said to the two of them.

"Yes, princess please."

The two of them didn't seem to be in a hurry to discuss the matter of marriage, they made a gesture of invitation respectfully, and seemed to be about to leave.

"Master Hou, please ask someone to send the betrothal gift to Fu Guanshi at the Ascension Academy."

Turning around and bending over indifferently, Shen Liang turned around and left the hall. Lao Lin and Tianshu chased him after a few polite words with him because of their affection. Shen Ruiting didn't have time to say a word the whole time, and could only watch them leave.
