Carnivorous Princess and Herbivore Consort
Chapter 52
"Why did brother suddenly want to go to Beijing?" After getting Wei Muqing's consent, Shen Dongxue and Shen Qiuyue made an appointment to bask in the sun in the courtyard.
"It's not that you wrote back and said that a plague broke out in the capital. I was worried about you, so I thought of stopping by to take a look. Who would have thought that you would really not be reassuring!" Shen Qiuyue's tone was more distressed.
"This time I was careless and made my brother worry. Parents don't know?"
Shen Qiuyue shook his head and said, "I didn't tell them."
Only then did Shen Dongxue feel relieved, and asked, "Is everything okay at home recently?"
"Both parents are in good health, and business is getting better day by day; after Master Xu and Master Xu took office, Lingzhou has been managed in an orderly manner."
Shen Dongxue smiled at him, "Then I can rest assured."
The more Shen Qiu saw her smiling happily, he became hesitant to ask, and finally looked around, but there was no maidservant nearby, so he asked, "You and the princess...what's going on now? "
"I……"
As soon as Shen Dongxue said a word, she was interrupted by Ping'er running from a distance, "Uncle Huang, so you are here!"
"Is there anything Ping'er wants me to do?"
"Today, my husband taught Ping'er to write an article, and Ping'er wants to ask Uncle Huang to read it."
Shen Dongxue was worrying about how to avoid Shen Qiuyue's question, when Ping'er came, and immediately said: "Then let's go."
"You haven't answered me yet!"
"Oh, why is my brother so ignorant? Ping'er's homework is the most important thing, and we will discuss other issues later." After speaking, he took Ping'er's little hand and left the small garden.
Shen Qiuyue sat alone on the stone bench, and his heart became even more complicated - Shen Dongxue's behavior was also very suspicious!
"What have you been talking about with your brother today? I don't think he looks very good during the meal."
"Brother seems to... notice something?"
Wei Muqing didn't react for a while, "What did you notice?"
"Today my brother asked me, between me and the princess...what's going on now."
"You... how did you answer?" Wei Muqing tried his best to make his expression look calm, but his tone still had some anticipation that couldn't be concealed.
"Before I said anything, Ping'er called me away."
Hearing this, Wei Muqing's expression was obviously a little disappointed, but he still said: "Even if brother really knows, it may not be what will happen."
Shen Dongxue nodded, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to tell my brother what the princess and I are, but I just don't know how to say it."
Wei Muqing patted her head and comforted her: "I understand you, you don't have to force yourself to do this kind of thing. It will happen when the time comes, maybe needless to say, brother will understand."
"Don't think about it, just let nature take its course, but these days, the changes in the palace are really big, what's going on?"
Wei Muqing then reported the affairs of the court in the palace during this period.
It turned out that Wei Musui took the initiative to ask to accompany him at that time, in order to get a chance to get in touch with the plague, and tried to infect the emperor.Taking advantage of the emperor's illness, he instigated Wei Muqiu to lead his private soldiers to force him out of the palace.Fortunately, Wei Mucheng felt that something was wrong, returned to Beijing in time, and arrested the rebels. The main criminals, Wei Muqiu and Wei Musui, were only placed under house arrest because they were princes.
This time the emperor finally saw through Wei Musui, and also knew that Wei Muqiu was just a pawn of Wei Musui, fortunately it was not too late.
After the Qiao family learned that Wei Musui's plan had failed, they thought of resigning voluntarily to preserve their reputation, but the emperor obviously didn't think so.An imperial decree drove the Qi family into a place of eternal doom.
In the imperial decree of the face-saving emperor, Wei Musui, who was originally the mastermind, became an ignorant and ignorant prince, and was exploited by the "rogue officials and thieves" to do inappropriate things, and the Qi family was that "rogue officials and thieves".
"Father means to save Wei Musui and Wei Muqiu's royal 'reputation' for the sake of face?"
Wei Muqing nodded and said, "Father just feels that it would be a shame for his own son to rebel against him, and this face is probably more important than the law."
"Is face so important?" Shen Dongxue frowned, puzzled.
Wei Muqing was also a little disappointed with the emperor's move, so he said, "Don't talk about that, don't you want to talk about the interesting things about the Qi family?"
"what's up?"
"In the royal decree of the father, Qiao's family was beaten as traitors and traitors, and in the law of the Hui Dynasty, those who disturbed the court should be punished as confiscated. Men were demoted to slaves and sent to the army; women were demoted to slaves and sold with the various prefectures."
Shen Dongxue nodded, expressing that she knew about this and wanted to hear the rest.
Wei Muqing smiled at her, and continued: "It's Qiao Chu's mother. When she heard that she would be a slave from now on, she was so frightened that she hurriedly went to Dexian Courtyard to ask Miss Huang to find a way to help."
"How did the queen do it?"
"At first, the emperor refused twice because of her illness, and then she directly told her that although the emperor bestowed a marriage that cannot be reconciled, there are always exceptions—the rebellious ministers. So the emperor agreed to leave the book, and from then on, he and Qiao The family has nothing to do with it."
"What about Qiao Chu? Are you so regretful that your guts are green?" Shen Dongxue gloated.
"Qiao Chu didn't respond at all, but the servant girl who climbed up on the bed came to beg the emperor to take her in with a shy face, but was stopped by the emperor's sentence, 'You were born as a member of the Qiao family, and died as a ghost of the Qiao family'."
Shen Dongxue praised: "Sister Huang is becoming more and more royal."
Wei Muqing smiled when he heard that, "Yes, it's a blessing."
Although Shen Dongxue had recovered from his illness, Shen Qiuyue did not intend to return to Lingzhou until he got the answer he wanted.Shen Dongxue and Wei Muqing didn't mind at all, except that Shen Dongxue still didn't have to go to court during her sick leave, and her life was still going on as usual, occasionally the two would go out arm in arm to stroll around the market, and take Ping'er to eat snacks.
However, for some reason, rumors suddenly spread in the court and among the neighbors that the princess and the son-in-law are incompatible, and their fates are mutually exclusive; others said that the son-in-law looks like a poor man, with a thin body, and they don't know if he can satisfy the princess; Some people even say that if the son-in-law is not a woman disguised as a man, she is a young man raised by a wealthy family.
Rumors spread everywhere and soon reached the Queen's ears.Early in the morning, Wei Muqing was called into the palace by the queen.
"Qing'er, my mother has heard some bad rumors recently, I don't know you..."
Wei Mu said calmly: "Is the queen mother talking about those nonsense?"
"You heard that too?"
"Not only did I hear about it, but I was also amused. Did you say that the horoscopes of the son-in-law and the son-in-law are not compatible? The horoscopes of the son-in-law and the son-in-law were combined by the Etiquette Department and the Qin Tianjian. The result of the match can be described as a godsend. As for those who are worried about the bed with the son-in-law, the son-in-law will wonder whether these people are worried or jealous."
"The matter about the son-in-law being a woman disguised as a man... But someone did see him with his ears pierced. How could a young master of a normal family do that!"
"If you say that the son-in-law is a woman disguised as a man, the son-in-law should know the most clearly. Where did they get the news? They think they know it better than the son-in-law? The son-in-law got pierced ears, and the son-in-law knew about it early in the morning. Yes. It’s just that the son-in-law was weak and sick when he was young. Some wandering Taoists said that he had to be raised as a girl for 20 years to be successful. That’s why the son-in-law was raised as a girl since he was a child. It’s also a coincidence that the son-in-law had to be raised as a girl when he was 19 years old. In order to save his elder brother and restore his manly body, the son-in-law now feels that the two recent serious illnesses of the son-in-law are all due to not being a daughter for 20 years. Hearing that, I'm afraid I'm going to die of grief. Although the Shen family is not a famous family, they are also counted among the rich in Lingzhou. The queen mother should not listen to the wind and the rain, how can outsiders know more than the son! After all It is the son-in-law who spends day and night with the son-in-law." With a smile on his face, Wei Muqing refuted all the rumors calmly.
Hearing what Wei Muqing said, the queen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since you said that, the queen mother is relieved. You can take advantage of Dongxue being exempted from the morning court in the past few days, and go out more to have fun."
"Yes, mother."
Shen Qiuyue went out and came back with a gloomy face, "Do you know what people say about you outside now?"
Shen Dongxue was practicing calligraphy, when she heard this, she put down her pen and raised her head, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"Even if you feel guilty towards the princess, it's been almost a year now, and it's time to pay it off. Why don't you think of a way to leave? Do you know what people say about you now?"
Shen Dongxue nodded, and said very calmly: "I've heard of it, but so what? If they want to say it, ask them to say it. The truth can't be fake, and the fake can't be true."
When Wei Muqing came back from the palace, he heard Shen Dongxue's last words as soon as he entered the door, and asked, "What is the son-in-law talking about?"
"The princess is back. Just now my brother asked me if I heard the rumors outside recently. I said let them go. The fake ones won't be true."
The more Shen Qiu saw Wei Muqing's indifferent face, he became a little anxious, "Since my sister was with you, the life that has been going well has not gone smoothly, and she almost died of illness, let alone, and now she is enduring so many rumors."
Wei Muqing smiled and said: "I don't know that Dongxue is disguised as a man for the talented woman of this palace, life will no longer be smooth."
"But now that a year has passed, you should let her go! Why don't you use this plague to cheat death."
Wei Muqing sneered, staring at Shen Qiuyue and said: "She is the person on the top of my heart, how could I be willing to let her go? Besides, elder brother can ask Dong Xue, is she willing to leave?"
Shen Dongxue looked a little shy when she heard that, "Brother, I... also don't want to leave the princess. Although it's unbelievable, things are just like what my brother thinks, the princess and I are in love with each other."
"But both of you are women!"
"So what?" Wei Muqing didn't care.
Shen Qiuyue was shocked by this attitude, "This is against common sense!"
"If you really want to say that, Dongxue disguised herself as a man to go to Beijing to take the exam in order to save her brother. It was already out of etiquette. Could it be that my brother wanted me and my father to investigate Dongxue's deception and violation of etiquette? "
"You don't want to threaten me with these things! Dongxue, just say it. Did the princess threaten you for your 'reluctance'?"
"Brother, you understand everything clearly. Why do you deceive yourself and others and break the hearts of me and the princess? The princess and I are the best of love."
The author has something to say: The hamster raised in the dormitory with my roommate was thrown away by three girls from another major (we are a mixed dormitory).
Those who were alive were put into cardboard boxes, sealed with tape and thrown away!And the three of them insisted that our hamster ran out of the cage by itself, and then crawled out of the 50cm deep storage box, so they threw it away... no **** to say.
Even if it is true that our cub has become a spirit and ran out by himself, but if we just throw it away like this, won't our conscience hurt?After all, this is a living life!I was so angry that I cried... It was a day full of negative energy.
"It's not that you wrote back and said that a plague broke out in the capital. I was worried about you, so I thought of stopping by to take a look. Who would have thought that you would really not be reassuring!" Shen Qiuyue's tone was more distressed.
"This time I was careless and made my brother worry. Parents don't know?"
