The Sickly Beauty Substitute Called It Quits

If the gloomy memory is not wrong, should only him and Shen Qingran be the only ones in Zhenbeihou's mansion, or should Shen Qingran lose its use value in this lifetime, and Zhenbeihou will produce another child?

With Zhenbeihou's temperament, it's not impossible.

But if the Zhenbei Hou Mansion suddenly had an heir, Mu Xi shouldn't say a word like him.

"No," Shang Junlin stroked his gloomy cheeks, "It's you who the Marquis of Zhenbei wants to stand up for."

"Me?" Shen Yu was even more surprised now, "I've already entered the palace, why did he make me his son? You don't think I can go back to inherit the Zhenbeihou Mansion after entering the palace, right?"

Not to mention that he can't inherit his current status, even if he can, it's not uncommon for him to be depressed. He wanted this position before, but it was because it was what he deserved. Rather than being possessed by others, it's better to hold it firmly in his own hands.

"He said, you are the only legitimate son of the Hou Mansion, and this position should be yours due to emotion and reason."

Not only Shang Junlin, but in the early court, the faces of the ministers who heard Zhenbeihou's words showed strange expressions. They really didn't understand why Zhenbeihou came here suddenly.

If you really want to make your son-in-law the heir, why haven't you mentioned it since you haven't entered the palace for more than ten years?It was only mentioned after people entered the palace and got the favor, and many people looked at Zhenbeihou with strange eyes.

Can't Zhenbeihou feel it?How could he not feel that unobtrusive gaze?Even Shang Junlin's eyes on him were like pins and needles.

"Marquis of Zhenbei brought it up at this time, are you joking with me?"

Everyone could feel the rage in Shang Junlin's calm tone.

Zhenbei Hou hurriedly knelt down: "I don't dare, it's just that this position should belong to him. In the past, I was stunned. I doted on my concubine and gave birth to children, and ignored Xiaoyu Liang. I want to make up for it one by one while I still have the opportunity. past mistakes."

Shang Junlin looked at him condescendingly, neither agreeing nor refusing, the Marquis of Zhenbei wanted to say something, but Shang Junlin interrupted him: "Now Ayu is my noble lord, and Zhenbeihou's mansion is just the past for him. No matter how you came up with this idea suddenly, whether it is true or false, this matter should not be mentioned again in the future."

Actually rejected it outright? !

The courtiers couldn't understand what was happening before them.

After the court, the ministers who had good personal relationships got together and couldn't help talking about the early court.

"What does the Marquis of Zhenbei think? At this time, he said that he wants to establish a son."

"If he really wanted to have a son-in-law, he would have done so long ago. The heir he originally wanted was the bastard who turned his elbow away. Could it be because he regretted it?"

"What's the use of regretting now? Everyone has been sent to the palace by him. It's even more unrealistic for His Majesty to let people go back now. Don't say that your lord is favored so much now, even if you are an unfavored concubine, there is absolutely no reason to do it like this." .”

"That's right, based on how much His Majesty loves you, the position of a son is just a son, and you probably don't care about it. If you really cared about these things, you wouldn't have entered the palace in the first place."

No one understood Zhenbeihou's sudden approach, even the officials who had good friends with Zhenbeihou were at a loss.

"I didn't promise him, Ayu will only be tied to me from now on." Shang Junlin led Shen Yu to sit on the soft couch.

"Even if His Majesty agrees, I can't agree. From the moment I enter the palace, I have nothing to do with the Zhenbeihou Mansion."

But Shen Yu is also very curious, why Zhenbeihou would do this.

"Did something happen to Zhenbei Hou's Mansion recently?" Apart from this, Shen Yu couldn't think of any other reasons.

"No, apart from some minor incidents, the Zhenbeihou Mansion is the same as usual."

Shang Junlin would not lie to him about this kind of thing, Shen Yu ruled out this possibility.

Since nothing happened to Zhenbeihou's mansion, why did Zhenbeihou suddenly ask him to be crowned son?

In fact, there is one thing that Zhenbeihou is right, the position of the son of the son is always gloomy, if it is not for the fact that Zhenbeihou dotes on Shen Qingran's mother and son, and refuses to give him the position of the son of the son, he has long been a legitimate man of the Zhenbeihou's mansion. The world is gone.

A few days later, news came from Zhenbeihou's residence that Zhenbeihou was visiting Shen Qingran.

Shen Qingran and Shen Yu are about the same age, and they have indeed reached the age where they can see each other. First, they asked Shen Yu to be the eldest son, and then they discussed marriage for Shen Qingran. Is there any connection between the two?

"Which house did the Marquis of Zhenbei show Shen Qingran?" Shen Yu rubbed the wall of the cup and asked.

"It's the daughter of a side branch of the Duan family," Shang Junlin told the news that Yinlongwei had inquired, "and the daughters of the Yi family and the Chen family."

Without exception, they were all girls from aristocratic families in the capital. I am afraid that the Zhenbei Marquis is not interested in the girls themselves, but in the power behind them.

Marriage.

This kind of thing is very common in aristocratic families. Zhen Beihou would choose the road of marriage. It is not surprising that he is depressed, but the object of marriage is Shen Qingran...

"Are they all willing to marry their daughters to Shen Qingran?"

"Although he is a concubine, he is the only person in Zhenbei Hou's mansion who is likely to inherit the Hou's mansion. In addition to your elder brother who is a descendant, it is normal for these people to be tempted."

What Shang Junlin said is true, not everyone knows the grievances between Shen Yu and the Zhenbeihou Mansion. From the perspective of outsiders, although Shen Yu is not close to the Zhenbeihou Mansion, it is not to the point of life and death, no matter what happens in the middle , can't change the fact that he is the son of Zhenbei Hou.

Even fewer people knew about the grievances with Shen Qingran. Before entering the palace, Shen Yu lived in seclusion and had a low sense of existence in the capital. Shen Qingran was not stupid enough to go around telling how he bullied his elder brother in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

After many days, Zhenbeihou once again stepped into Shen Qingran's courtyard and was locked up for a period of time. Shen Qingran was quite honest. Two months ago, Zhenbeihou released his confinement, and he could move about freely in the mansion. , but cannot leave the house.

Shen Qingran also understood that this father of Zhenbei Hou has no old feelings to talk about, when it is useful to him, he can treat you in every possible way, and if it is useless, he will kick you away without leaving any sympathy.

"Why is father here?" Shen Qingran learned to pretend after hitting a wall many times.

"You have also reached the age of getting married. This Marquis will meet a few girls for you. You can choose by yourself." Zhenbeihou raised his hand, and the young man who followed him put the roster on the table.

Shen Qingran barely managed to maintain the expression on his face: "Is this why father came here?"

"Your elder brother has been in the palace for a year, and it's time for you to get married. After you get married, you will open up branches and leaves for the Hou Mansion as soon as possible." The meaning in Zhenbeihou's words is obvious.

Shen Qingran showed a strange expression: "Father clearly knows that I like men."

Zhenbeihou waved his hands impatiently: "It's just for you to marry the main wife. You are the only one in the Hou Mansion now. When you give birth to a child, you can like whoever you want."

"Father said so." Shen Qingran glanced at the booklet on the table, "Son will take a good look at it."

"They are all women from good family backgrounds. Hurry up and pick them out. Ben Hou will reply to the woman as soon as possible."

After Zhenbeihou left, Shen Qingran went to the table and sat down, slowly opened the booklet.Marquis of Zhenbei did not lie to him, the women whose names were in the brochure were all from good family backgrounds, if you think about it seriously, marrying these women, Shen Qingran would be regarded as high-ranking.

The news of Zhenbeihou's Mansion reached the palace, and Mu Xi knew that Shen Yu had been paying more attention to what happened in Zhenbeihou's Mansion recently, so he told Shen Yu as soon as he got the news.

Depression made them continue to pay attention.

In Hanzhou, because of the arrival of King Yue and his party, there is no atmosphere of celebrating the New Year at all.

The King of Yue is now living in the main house of the Cheng family. The Cheng family only found out what kind of boat they were forced to be tied to after the arrival of the King of Yue. Not everyone is dissatisfied, but the matter has come to this point, and they have no other way to go except to follow the King of Yue.

The situation outside is tense, and the king of Yue is not in the mood for festivals. Compared with these, he hopes that those people Mr. Tan mentioned will come soon. He really doesn't want to continue to be trapped here at all.

"Mr. Tan, how long will it take for the respondent you said to arrive?"

"They have already arrived. They are in the mountains behind the west of Hanzhou. They have to wait for a suitable time to attack us inside and out and break out of the tight encirclement."

Hearing these words, King Yue's heart slowly fell: "Where are my people? Did Mr. Tan take over?"

According to Mr. Tan, the reason why the respondent came so late was to take a detour to bring over the forces left by King Yue in the fief.

"Don't worry, my lord, we are already on our way."

The king of Yue knew that what he did would bring big troubles, so before he was completely sure, he was very careful not to let the court see that something was wrong, which happened to be convenient for them at this time.

The imperial court didn't know exactly where the power that the King of Yue had developed over the years was. Those people were hidden very deeply, and even if they sent people to Yuezhou, they couldn't find out in a short time.

Mr. Tan took the tea from the maid and took a sip: "There is one more thing. Recently, my people received a special cooperation invitation. Is the prince interested?"

King Yue: "Oh?"

Mr. Tan: "It's someone from Beimo who said that there is an adult who is willing to help the prince."

King Yue: "People from Beimo? Aren't they just defeated by the Subei Army?"

Mr. Tan made a fool of himself: "Yes, and no, the prince will know when the time comes."

King Yue had no choice but to fight Shang Junlin. He didn't have enough manpower now. He didn't have time to think about why these people helped him. He just wanted to change the situation quickly.

He doesn't want to be overwhelmed by Shang Junlin all the time. One day, Shang Junlin will definitely be his defeat!The humiliation he has suffered will be repaid a thousand times and a hundred times!

"My lord, the person we sent to Hanzhou came back with news that King Yue seems to be connected with two factions." At noon, Mu Xi came in with warm water.

Shen Yu washed his hands and wiped them dry with a handkerchief: "I see, pay more attention over there, it's best to find out where the power of the people who are in contact with them is."

"Your servant understands," Mu Xi handed the water basin to the palace servants, and continued, "The Marquis of Zhenbei has handed the greeting card to the young master again, does the young master want to see you?"

Since Shen Yu entered the palace, Marquis Zhenbei has often sent posts to the palace, and there are three times a month that he can't beat the words. Except for very few times, Shen Yu pretends not to see him. Zhenbei Hou is very angry, but he can't do anything if he can't see anyone .

For some reason this time, I have been delivering posts to the palace for several days. The person who sent the letter said that the Marquis of Zhenbei has something important to see your lord, and I hope your lord will agree.

Shen Yu was a little curious about what the Marquis of Zhenbei wanted to do, thought for a moment, and said, "See you."

If Shen Yu wanted to see Marquis Zhenbei, he could just call him into the palace. Before meeting him, Shen Yu told Shang Junlin, and Shang Junlin offered to accompany him.

Shen Yu felt that if Shang Junlin was there, Zhenbeihou would not have a lot to say.

"Your Majesty, do you want to avoid it first? I really want to know what Zhenbeihou wants to tell me."

"I'm so shameless?" Shang Junlin squeezed his gloomy face.

Shen Yu patted his hand away: "Your Majesty knows that I don't mean it."

"Then, if Ah Yu kisses me, I will do everything according to you."

Shen Yu squinted at him, and perfunctorily pecked him on the face. Shang Junlin was not satisfied, and he was pushed into the room by Shen Yu.

"I've kissed you too, please Your Majesty to wait here for a while."

When Zhenbeihou arrived, he only saw depression sitting on the main seat.

"What do you want to tell me, Lord Hou?"

"I wrote a letter to ask you to be crowned son, but His Majesty refused." Zhenbei Hou knew that Shen Yu didn't like nonsense, so he went straight to the point.

"Is this why the Marquis of Zhenbei came here?" He said in a gloomy and careless tone, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was stunned, and then said after a long while: "I picked a wife for Shen Qingran from a famous family, and when his first child is born, he will be adopted under your name, and will inherit the title of the Marquis Mansion in the future."

Shen Yu couldn't help but sneered: "Don't Zhenbei Hou think that what he thinks is too beautiful?"
