The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

"Didn't you say you have something to say to me?" Mrs. Shen sat on the chair, facing Shen Jia, her expression seemed more disturbed than Shen Jia's.

Shen Jia scratched her forehead, moved the chair closer to Shen's mother, put her hands on her knees, looked at her from bottom to top, and asked with a smile: "Mother, do you have anything to ask me?" ?”

Shen's mother brushed his hand away, turned her face and said coldly: "My son has achieved extraordinary things at a young age. I, an old lady in the country, don't have anything to ask. You can make your own decision."

"Mother..." Shen Jia held Shen's mother's hand coquettishly, and twirled the jade bracelet on her wrist. It was the pair that Zhao Zhang gave, and she hadn't taken it off for so long, so she obviously liked it.

He whispered: "Back when Gu Zhuo came to the school for the first time, I liked him very much the first time I saw him. It was the kind of heart-pounding liking. After getting along for a long time, I was even more fascinated by him. Don't you You know, I spent a lot of time chasing him, cooking for him, celebrating the New Year with him, and giving him gifts, but he has always kept his etiquette. Later, the two became more and more familiar. I really didn't want to miss the opportunity, so I confessed to him It's..."

Shen's mother looked over in surprise when she heard this, and tightened her fists, showing that she was also nervous.

Shen Jia smiled and asked her: "Mother, do you want him to agree or not?"

Shen's mother frowned and replied: "My son is so good, anyone will like it." She suddenly doubted herself, maybe Gu Yao was scared away by Shen Jia's back then?Otherwise, why did it go so suddenly?Could it be that her son was stalking him?

Her expression was so easy to guess, Shen Jia laughed, "Mother, don't think about it, he agreed, we were together on the Lantern Festival that year, he was very good, really good, sometimes I would expect that You can live your whole life together, but people always have to grow up, and maybe one day they will part ways.

During those days, we tried not to think about the future, and no one guaranteed the future, maybe because we knew that there were too many uncertainties in the future. I knew that my parents loved me, but I didn’t dare to take the responsibility of severing my children and grandchildren. I know I'm not filial..." Shen Jia said with tears in his eyes, it's not that he doesn't understand what his parents want, and he also knows how to be a filial son, but there are some things he can't do. Do it against your conscience.

Shen's mother's eyes were also red, and she shed tears silently. She asked, "What happened later? Is it because he is going home to get married?"

"I thought it was true, so I quarreled with him and said some nasty things. He left angrily. The two had no contact for three years. I thought it was just like that, but I didn't expect to meet again later."

Shen's mother said anxiously: "But, he is already married, he has a wife, and you are going to get married soon. Do you still have to secretly communicate? How can you be worthy of your wife like this? You can't be so irresponsible !"

Shen Jia lowered her head and buried her face in Shen Mu's palm, he said: "Mother, do you know his identity?"

"What? He used his status to persecute you? Even if his family is high and powerful? Your fiancée is also a county head after all, so even if you sue the emperor, he will ignore it."

"Mother, his surname is Zhao. There are many people with the surname Zhao, but there is only one named Zhao Zhang, and only one named Zhao Ting."

Shen's mother didn't know who the emperor was before, but when she arrived in Chang'an, she got in touch with many people, so she naturally knew that Da Jin belonged to the Zhao family. She also thought that Zhao Ting's child was a royal relative, but he had no father or mother. , was adopted by his uncle, there should be only one such child in the royal family, right?

"You mean...he...he is..." Mother Shen was dumbfounded.

Shen Jia nodded, "Yes, he is the emperor, and Zhao Ting is Prince Rui, and also the crown prince that the emperor wants to be registered. Mother, it's not that he forced me, it's that I can't let him go. From the moment I saw him in the Golden Palace, I knew that it was impossible for me to draw a clear line with him in my life. In fact, even if I didn't meet him again, I would not marry a wife. girl."

"But...but aren't you going to get married soon? That Liu Xianzhu..." Shen's mother suddenly remembered that Liu Yanwan was married by the emperor, right?And it's still a woman from his harem, he's playing a trick. In this way, it will be impossible for Shen Jia to marry girls from other families in the future, and there will be no women thinking about marrying Shen Jia. What a scheming plan .

"Mother, I didn't want to tell you. I saw that you liked her very much, and I was very happy to know that I was going to get married. But a fake is a fake. You can beat me and scold me if you want. I am the one who is sorry for you."

"Why do I like Miss Liu? Isn't it because she is going to marry you soon? She is beautiful, generous, gentle and kind. Who doesn't like such a woman? But you... Jiajia, are you sure you want to be bound by him for the rest of your life? ? Now he looks fine, but in the future he will change his mind, and the Sangong Sixth Courtyard is at your fingertips, what about you?"

"Mom, I'm not his attachment. I can't live without him. I can find another one without him. In terms of feelings, everyone is equal. Why don't you worry that I will change my mind in the future? ?”

Shen's mother slapped him, "You brat, if you change your mind, you still have to wait until now? Don't think I don't know, the second son of the magistrate's family in Baoning Prefecture treats you too... Huh, if I didn't take precautions , How could you study in the academy with peace of mind in those years?"

Shen Jia rubbed her nose in embarrassment, and said persistently: "I'm just nodding acquaintance with him, I don't like him like that, mother, I'm sorry for your second elder, I'm afraid it's difficult for you to want a grandson, okay The three sisters can give you many grandchildren, when they go to Beijing, you can keep the one you like, and I will tell my sister and brother-in-law."

"What are you talking about! We don't want those children to stay with our grandmothers, but we do everything possible to get them to be raised by our grandmothers. Isn't this a slap in the face? Of course children should be with their parents, and how can grandchildren Compared with grandchildren, they are other people's children."

Shen's mother held a faint hope and asked: "Son, can you have a son and a half with Miss Liu, so that she can rely on her in the future? Otherwise, what will you do when you get old?"

Shen Jia shook her head, this is a matter of principle, if Zhao Zhang also thinks so, then there is no need to maintain this relationship.

"Mother, my Shen family is just a small household in the southwest, the Zhao family is rich and noble, Zhao Zhang is even the [-]th five-year-old, the emperor's heir is so valuable, but he didn't say this, how can I hurt his heart? "

"He...he can really do this?" Shen's mother didn't quite believe it, as a woman like her, she knew that the emperor's heir was a major matter for the country, not just a family matter.

"He wants to make Brother Ting the crown prince. It's not that easy, but he will fight for it. No matter what the result is, he has tried his best, hasn't he? Mother, we are all working hard for the future, maybe the ending may not be happy , but I don't regret it."

Shen's mother felt the humidity and heat in her palm, and her heart softened. Hearing what he said, she felt a little bit annoyed with Zhao Zhang in her heart. Those who go to provoke others must not be irresponsible after provoking, that is not a man's behavior.

"Does Miss Liu know about this?"

"I know. As compensation, Zhao Zhang pardoned the punishment of the female family member of the Liu family and gave her the status of county head. She agreed."

Shen's mother sighed, "If that's the case, it's clear, you can go back, mother wants to be alone for a while."

"Mother..." Shen Jia was afraid that she would be thinking wildly by herself, so she wanted to accompany her.

"Let's go, mother An, stay alone for a while. I finally gave birth to a son. I loved and loved him since childhood. Finally, he grew up and became a talent, but it turned out to be like giving birth to a daughter. I Can you be in a good mood? If your father finds out about this, I'm afraid your legs will be broken."

"Mother, think about it from another angle. You have got two sons at once. You didn't often say that I am not as good as Gu Zhuo. Do you want a son like him? You can also treat Zhao Ting as your own." Grandchildren look at it, they will be willing."

Shen's mother showed a slight smile, and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, that's the Tian family, they just think highly of us, we can't really break the rules, that's all, go out, or I'm afraid I can't help but want to beat you."

"Then you have a good rest. I know this matter can't be figured out all at once. I just hope you don't exhaust your body. It would be too unfilial."

"Go away!"

After Shen Jia went out, she went to the kitchen and ordered a bowl of noodles for Shen's mother. Shen's mother didn't say anything, but picked up the chopsticks and ate it, thinking: Sure enough, there is no perfect thing in the world. I thought my son would be good everywhere. , I didn't expect to wait for her here, and it was a big pit when I came here.

Compared with this, the problems of other people's children seem to be minor problems.

After returning to the room, Shen Jia saw that Zhao Zhang was already there, walked over and lay on his back without saying a word.

Zhao Zhang held his hand, pulled him to sit on his lap, hugged him and asked, "But does the old lady know about our relationship?" With Shen's mother's attitude today, Zhao Zhang could naturally see the problem. Shen Jia might be influenced by his parents, he didn't have the energy to do anything else all afternoon, and came here as soon as it got dark.

"Yeah, I didn't expect her to notice it many years ago, but she didn't mention it because we separated."

Zhao Zhang hugged Shen Jia tightly, as if he was afraid that he would fly away, "Then she...but if she disagrees, what will you do?"

Shen Jia felt a little suffocated, pushed him away, raised her head and kissed Zhao Zhang's chin, and said with a smile: "I know what you are worried about, it's okay, you will know when you know it, you will know sooner or later, my mother is a A reasonable woman who loves me the most, if she were my father, I'm afraid she would have to suffer a lot."

"He wants to hit me and let him come to me. As long as he dares to hit me, I will accept it."

"Come on, if people find out, won't my Shen family be doomed? It hasn't reached that point. My dad is a man who cares about face and money, so he has to take it easy. I have a sense of proportion."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhang felt a lot more at ease. In fact, as long as Shen Jia stood by him consistently, he was not worried about Shen Jia's father and mother's opposition. If he could give Shen Jia a marriage, he could send them back to their original places with an imperial decree. At that time, they would not be able to control them if they wanted to, but he didn't want to use this method to deal with Shen Jia's family.

Their stomachs growled at the same time, they looked at each other, and asked in unison, "Have you eaten yet?"

After speaking, both of them laughed together, Shen Jia patted his forehead, "I'm in a hurry to explain, I don't have time to eat, what do you want to eat, I'll make it for you."

Zhao Zhang hasn't eaten the food made by Shen Jia for many years, and he misses it a bit, "Just make something simple, I'm really hungry."

"Okay, you wait, I'll do it now." Shen Jia ran to the kitchen, and the servants were not surprised to see him in the kitchen. Other people's master is a gentleman who cooks far away, and this one of theirs not only knows how to cook And the cooking skills are not bad.

"Master, what else do you want to do?" Aunt Xu had already cleaned up the kitchen and put away the ingredients, in case Shen Jia couldn't find anything to use.

Shen Jia just used the leftover chicken soup from dinner to serve Shen's mother a bowl of noodles. Now she was looking for it, but only found a plate of leftover pork belly. Although it is not appropriate to use leftovers to deal with the emperor, both of them are hungry , There is no time to make a big meal.

"Auntie, help me order noodles and steam some buns." Aunt Xu is from the north and is good at making pasta. Aunt Wang from the Shen family made authentic Sichuan dishes.

Shen Jia made five Roujiamo, each one bigger than his palm, and cooked another bowl of hot and sour soup, put it in a food box and carried it out.

When Shen's mother's maid came to deliver the bowl, she casually said the matter, and said with a smile: "The master looks thin, but he has a big appetite. He can often eat two bowls of dumplings or wonton stew late at night."

The servant girl saw that the old lady was in a bad mood today, and told her the matter as a joke, trying to make her happy, but the old lady was not happy after hearing it, and even frowned.

The more Shen's mother thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She got up and walked towards Shen Jia's courtyard. Shen Jia lived in the main courtyard when he came in. Because it was connected to the secret road, he didn't move after his parents came, and he was married soon. Now, he is the head of the family, so he should still live in the main courtyard, while Shen's father and Shen's mother live in the quieter west courtyard, farther away.

"You don't need to follow, I'll come back after I go to see Jiajia." Because they were in their own mansion, the servants didn't object.

Shen's mother strode towards the main courtyard, feeling very complicated. On the way, she met He Yan, stopped him and asked, "Ayan, you are Jiajia's personal servant, why don't you see you serving him at night?"

He Yan hurriedly explained: "Madam, it's the master who said that I don't need to take care of you at night."

"Then how do I hear that he often eats at night?"

"Not often, right? Just once in a while, the master is sometimes busy with work, and he often doesn't go to bed until late at night, and only eats when he's hungry."

"Is that what you sent him in?"

"No, our master has been used to doing things by himself since he was a child. He doesn't let me get involved. He brings the food in by himself, and I'll clean it up the next day."

Shen's mother guessed that He Yan and Shen Jiahao wore the same pair of trousers, and they followed each other every day. There was no reason why they didn't know about him and Zhao Zhang, but they couldn't find the reason for him, and waved their hands irritably: "Okay." Come on, go down."

Walking to the gate of the main courtyard, Mother Shen suddenly didn't dare to enter again, even if what she guessed was true, so what?Can she drive people away?

But if she didn't see it with her own eyes, she didn't give up. She was still worthless for her son before. How could it be so easy to get along with the emperor?One of them is inside the palace and the other is outside the palace. How much time can they spend together every day?What is the difference between being a widow and being a widow?

Once I heard that Shen Jia made food for two people and brought it into his yard, and Shen Jia's yard was not allowed to enter at night, even He Yan, it must be some secret hidden to be so cautious, and he The biggest secret is probably related to that man.

The light was on in Shen Jia's main room, and there was a small hall outside his main room, and no one could be seen from the window. Shen's mother was hesitant, but as soon as Jia threw a stone into the room, Shen Jia opened the door and came out. .

Seeing Shen's mother, Shen Jia was not too surprised, "Mother, are you here? Do you need me?"

"No... nothing, just to see if you have eaten."

"I just went to the kitchen to make some food, come in and sit down."

Shen's mother hesitated and asked: "Is it convenient?" This child's family is completely different from that of an unmarried child. If Shen Jia was already married, she would not come to the main courtyard at night, let alone she guessed that there was a man hiding inside.

Shen Jia glanced back, nodded, "It's convenient, you can come in."

Shen's mother breathed a sigh of relief, she also had something to say to that person, she had a bad attitude during the day, even for her son, she should apologize.

After entering the door, Shen's mother glanced at the small hall first, and there was nothing much to see. After walking a few steps in, she saw a tall figure standing in front of the partition, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with five-clawed golden dragon, wearing a Jin Guan, that face was obviously familiar to her, Zhao Zhang who had sat together for tea and dinner half a day ago.

She subconsciously wanted to kneel down, but was supported by a pair of hands, "Mrs. Shen doesn't have to be like this."

"Your Majesty..." It wasn't until the moment she saw him wearing a dragon robe that Shen's mother finally realized that ordinary people couldn't bear the majesty of an emperor, but such a person pleased her son and gave up for him. How could she not be moved to reproduce.

Shen Jia helped her mother up, took her to sit in the back room, and poured her a cup of tea, "Mother, there is a secret passage leading to the palace in my room."

The teacup in Shen's mother's hand was unsteady and fell to the ground. She shook her hands and said, "You don't need to tell me such a confidential matter, and you must never tell others."

"I'm only telling you one person."

Zhao Zhang cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground. Mother Shen couldn't help but wanted to stop him several times. How could she let the emperor do such a thing?But seeing Shen Jia's relaxed and normal appearance, she didn't speak.

After Zhao Zhang disposed of the garbage, he sat down beside Shen's mother, "Madam, Shen Jia and I have gone through a lot to get to where we are today. I'm not afraid of your anger. I also thought about sending him away and never seeing him again for the rest of my life." , It’s good for him and me, and our life can return to normal, but I can’t bear it, and it hurts even to neglect him.”

Zhao Zhang never called himself "Zhen" in front of the old lady. He faced Shen's mother as a junior. If Shen's mother agreed, he could even call him "Mother".

"What about the future? What will I do in the future? As an ignorant woman, I know that the court ministers must pay attention to the emperor's harem and heirs. It is reasonable for you not to accept concubines, but how should you explain to the courtiers if the harem has nothing to offer? My Shen family, although It's not a big family, but the ancestral hall has been passed down for hundreds of years, enshrining hundreds of ancestors, I am very touched that you and Jiajia are together, but how should my father and I explain to the ancestors of the Shen family?"

"The opinions of the courtiers can't influence my decision. I have Brother Ting, who will be trained to be a qualified heir. As for the Shen family, if the old lady and the grandfather agree that I will be with Jiajia, then I will give Shen The supreme glory of the family, the clans of the Shen family must also hope to see the prosperity of the family, and there is no shortage of Shen Jia's descendants to worship the ancestors in the ancestral hall, and he has many uncles and brothers."

"If people know that the prosperity of my Shen family is achieved by selling my son, it will really embarrass our ancestors!" Mrs. Shen said angrily.

"Why do you think so? Shen Jia's current official position is all due to his own ability. He is worthy of the monarch and his subjects. The only shortcoming is the relationship between him and me. When it really comes to the day of exposure, He can also stand upright in front of the world and say that he has a clear conscience! I also have a clear conscience!"

Shen's mother took a deep breath, looked at the two people in front of her, she still couldn't say anything to make them separate, it's not that they haven't been separated before, she has seen what Shen Jia looks like after separation, once again, Shen Jia Can you pick yourself up again?

"Okay, I'm not going to beat mandarin ducks with sticks, but you have to promise me one thing!" Mother Shen said sternly.

"please say."

"I don't know how long the two men will be in love. I don't believe what you are talking about for the rest of my life. I will leave it to time to prove it. You have to promise me that you will protect Jiajia no matter what, and don't let him be scolded by the world." Well, I don't ask him to be a big man who will be famous for thousands of years, but I don't want him to be infamous for thousands of years. When the day comes when we part ways, you can dismiss him from office or let him go far away. Our family will definitely leave. Absolutely It won't drag you down."

"Mother..." Shen Jia hugged his mother. Sometimes he really felt sorry for the elders. He was a soul from another world, occupying their son's body and breaking their family's inheritance. Perseverance regained strength and continued scientific research. He couldn't even deprive him of his only glory, then he was too inhuman.

Zhao Zhang nodded, "Okay, I promise you, I will keep my word and I will never go back on my word!"

Shen's mother patted Shen Jia's head, seeing that his eyes were red, and she was very sad, "My son, mother has nothing extravagant to ask for, I just hope that your life will be safe and smooth, and you will be happy."

Shen's mother handed his hand to Zhao Zhang's, as if she was sending a married girl, but she couldn't tell her to marry her daughter. If a trustworthy servant comes to take care of it, it will be treated as if I bought it, and it would be too wronged for you not to have a servant to serve you."

This was the best arrangement, neither Zhao Zhang nor Shen Jia refused.

After sending Shen's mother away, Shen Jia felt much better. A relationship would not be happy without the blessings of the elders. Now it only depends on when she can confess to Shen's father, it must be a tough battle.
