Although the incident of the little emperor's grandson's full moon banquet was taken lightly and ordinary people didn't know what happened, the fact that the crown prince and Ningyuanhou's son were in love quickly spread all over the market. , streets and alleys.

The people in the capital didn't think much of it, instead they regarded it as a romantic story. One of them was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the other was the Prince of Ningyuan. Beauty, who doesn't like to hear such gossip.

Yunmeng's folk customs are open, it doesn't matter if he likes a man or a woman, as long as the branches are spread out and incense is left, it is not uncommon to have three wives and four concubines in the backyard, no one cares whether there are men or women in the backyard.And the crown prince is the heir apparent of a country, so it doesn't hurt that he has something to do with his cousin.

Of course, this is only for ordinary people, and for the royal family, this is not a glorious thing, especially at the full moon banquet of the little emperor's grandson, it really doesn't make the princess look good.Not to mention that Shen Zhuang already has a marriage contract with Yang Yuqing, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and as a result of such a romantic debt, there is nothing good to be done.

But the most unlucky one is Su Zhan, who just waded into this muddy water in a daze. Since the incident between the prince and Shen Zhuang was broken last time, Shen Chu came out to block him, but he didn't expect that he would still be caught by him this time. hit.Su Zhan was also very helpless, he was a bit superstitious, and wondered whether the two times this time meant that he and Princess Changle would also have troubles in the future.

But Shen Chu didn't have the energy to care about these gossips anymore, he learned more important things from Fang Heng, the old man of Dali Temple.

Fang Heng is nearly fifty years old. He used to be the head arrester of Dali Temple and had no children. Now he is old and his legs and feet are not very flexible. Basically, he no longer goes out to investigate cases, and usually stays in the yamen. civilian.But he is just a rough man, he is used to wielding knives and guns, so he really doesn't know how to be a civil servant.

On weekdays, he loves a few sips of good wine, and Shen Chu often gave him gifts.After getting familiar with each other, plus drinking too much wine, it is easy to talk too much, Shen Chu asked a little bit, and Fang Heng told what he knew about the case of Duke Ning's mansion back then like a bamboo tube.

Duke Ning used to be the only hereditary duke in the Yunmeng Dynasty. He once had three queens, who were all in the limelight for a while.It is precisely because of this that the emperor is jealous.

Shen Lang's father, Shen Qing, was the fifth generation Ning Guogong, and his aunt was the empress dowager of the current dynasty, that is, the first emperor's aunt.However, unlike the relationship between the empress dowager and the prince now, the relationship between the empress dowager Shen and the emperor at that time was not very good.

Empress Dowager Shen has a strong personality and has no children in her life. The birth mother of the son of heaven has a humble status, so she was directly deprived of her mother to keep her son.At that time, the emperor had already remembered, and he had always held a grudge against Queen Mother Shen, and kept it secret until he ascended the throne. After ascending the throne, he unceremoniously cut off the wings of the Shen family.

The first Ning Guogong followed the Li family to fight the world, made great military exploits, and has been stationed at the border. The ancestors of the Feng family were once subordinates of the first Ning Guogong, and Feng Xian, the general of Zhenguo, was the biological father of King Yun and married the daughter of the Shen family. Of course, Feng Xian has always preferred the Queen Mother Deng, and his relationship with his wife is not very good.

But the Shen family has deep roots, even the first emperor couldn't do anything for a while, and it was not until Emperor Yun that they completely eradicated it.

As for Ning Guogong’s case, he was accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason. It is said that a letter collaborating with the Beihu tribe was copied in the mansion. The letter contained the intention of treason and usurpation of the throne. Afterwards, all adult women and children were exiled to the bitter cold place in the northwest.

On the day of the execution, there was a downpour of rain, the blood soaked Dongshi, and the women and children of the Shen family wailed unceasingly.

Shen Chu couldn't help feeling anxious, if he was really Shen Lang's son, what would happen to his relatives who were exiled, and those elders who died tragically.Although political battles are indispensable among them, it is too tragic to end up like this.

He couldn't help but feel a little sad, and couldn't help asking, "I remember that Dali Temple has always managed the files of exiled officials and family members. I don't know what happened to the remaining women and children in the Ningguo Mansion?"

Fang Heng took a sip of his wine and shook his head, "Old and young, there are still a bunch of women left, so what can I do? I heard that some were weak and couldn't stand it on the road, so I went. Years, and there are not many left, so they can only be slaves and handmaids in exile."

"Tsk tsk, my old Fang has seen Shen Shizi's peerless beauty back then." He said and glanced at Shen Chu, "They say you are very similar to that Shen Shizi, my old Fang said, Mr. Shen, don't be angry , You, although you look like Shen Shizi, Shen Shizi's demeanor is not comparable to those of us. If he goes to take the imperial examination, the number one scholar may not matter to you, Mr. Shen."

"However, Mr. Shen, you are still very good, at least much better than your father. It is said that Shen's double jade, in my opinion, your father is not worthy to carry shoes for Shen Shizi."

Shen Chu couldn't help but nodded, he also felt the same way, but Shen Rong was really a serious and cheap father, and Shen Lang was his own father, so he was quite proud.

Fang Heng looked at him strangely and said, "How can you say that Marquis Ning Yuan is still happy to see you?" He remembered something and suddenly realized, "Oh, the whole capital knows that Marquis Ning Yuan kicked you out of the house, and Hai sent you Remove from the family tree, it's normal if you don't like him."

"If I have such a father, I don't like it. But in this world, I always feel that no matter what he is, he is still your father. Being a son will always suffer."

Shen Chu touched his nose, feeling a little guilty, he really didn't suffer at all.

Ever since he won the first prize, entered the official career, and now he is the heir of Prince Yun, it is inevitable that he will meet his cheap father on many occasions.Even though his cheap father is over [-] years old, he still looks good, but he still has a different kind of taste accumulated over the years. No wonder the Wang family still falls in love with him even now.

According to the general routine, he has now become a popular person in front of the empress dowager, so it cannot be said that he is very popular. When his cheap father sees him again, he should have some regrets or other emotions, such as wanting to take advantage of the opportunity to win him over, but His cheap father is the same as him, he treats the other party as air, seeing it as if he didn't see it.

At first, he only thought that this cheap father was too scum, but now that he knew his life experience, he couldn't help but speculate, wondering if his cheap father knew something inside.But if he knew that he was Shen Lang's child, he would be kind enough to raise him to such an age, no matter how you think about it, it's impossible, but it's hard to say, if you find out later, it's not impossible to treat him as ignorant for fear of causing trouble.

Shen Chu was suspicious, but Fang Heng felt drowsy, his head was shaking, and he looked like he wanted to fall to the ground and sleep.Suddenly, as if awakened by something, he said mysteriously, "I suddenly remembered a rumor."

Shen Chu looked at him suspiciously.

"A businessman who did business with Beihu Western Regions came back and said that he seemed to have seen a girl from the Shen family in the Beihu tent, that is, Shen Shizi's youngest sister."

"When the accident happened to the Shen family, Miss Shen hadn't left the court, but she was taken captive to the Hu tribe for some reason, and became the Yan clan of Beihu."

Shen Chu wondered, "If Miss Shen becomes the Yan family of Beihu, there should be news coming back. Why hasn't the court received any news?"

Fang Heng spread his hands and said, "These are all rumors, and of course they are too many to count. Just listen to it as a story."

"The eldest prince who came to Beihu last time looks older than me, and it seems that the time is not right?"

Fang Heng waved his hands and said, "I don't know, I don't know, it's getting late today, Mr. Shen should go back early to rest."

Shen Chu saw that he couldn't ask any more questions, so he didn't struggle anymore.

Before leaving, Fang Heng closed his eyes slightly but didn't look at him, and said in a drawn-out tone, "Is it because King Yun still can't let go of the past? I advise Mr. Shen to stop meddling, and don't let yourself get involved."

Shen Chu didn't say any more, just followed Fang Heng's guess, after all, he was Shen Lang's child, which sounded too unbelievable.What's more, he was very puzzled. According to this timeline, he should have been born before the incident in Duke Ning's mansion. How could his father hand him over to his mother instead of King Yun?And why didn't he tell King Yun about his existence?

After he got off duty, he returned to the mansion, and after packing up, he had dinner with Shen's mother.After dinner, he took Zai Zai to Qin Wangfu to look for Li Di.

Now that he saw King Yun's attitude towards him, he understood Li Di's attitude towards Zai Zai quite well.Originally, seeing Li Di's attitude towards Zai Zai, who held it in his hands for fear of falling, and held it in his mouth for fear of melting, as if he wished to hold the best treasures in the world in front of him, so he was optimistic about it. Just like the drama, I feel that he can't just work hard by himself in the past few years.But looking at King Yun who seemed to be in even worse shape, he couldn't help feeling a little bit sympathetic to Li Di.

Since Li Di returned to Beijing, he was originally in charge of the Ma Junsi of the Forbidden Army, but last time he rejected the princess of Xishan Kingdom's marriage, which angered the emperor, and directly dismissed him from all positions, and now he is still at home.

There is nothing to do during the day, basically it seems that he has grown up in Prince Yun's Mansion, and he spends all his energy on spending time with Zai Zai, as if he wants to make up for the time lost in the previous few years.Every morning, he will teach Zai Zai some boxing and kicking skills to strengthen his body. After Zai Zai has finished his homework for a day, he will take him to ride a horse and shoot arrows in the afternoon. Therefore, King Yun specially set aside a large open space for Zai Zai For the school field.

Soon, Li Di was promoted to be one of Zai Zai's favorite people, and even faintly surpassed Shen's mother, becoming the second only to Shen Chu, who was liked by Zai Zai, which made King Yun, who had worked hard for a long time, quite envy, jealousy, hate.

In addition, Li Di had to spare his energy to help Shen Chu find out the secrets of the original Ningguo Mansion case, because it was too long ago, and the case was more sensitive, so it was not very easy to investigate, but it could be done to some extent. Find something.
