"What's the matter?" Bei Mingchen asked Shuojin, somewhat at a loss.
Shuo Jin's wretched expression inevitably made him feel a little flustered. He was worried that another dead servant would break into the palace, and thought it would be another life-or-death situation.
"Don't be so nervous, just relax."
Shuojin raised his eyebrows at Bei Mingchen and looked at him with a wicked smile. Shuojin narrowed his eyes slightly. He gently patted Bei Mingchen on the shoulder to let him relax.
"Don't worry, I'm mentally prepared."
Bei Mingchen subconsciously pursed his lips and said, swallowing more. He put his hand on his shoulder and took Shuojin's hand. Because of nervousness, his hand was a little tight, which made Shuojin feel a little nervous.
Not adaptable.
"I told you to take it easy and don't be nervous. Look, why are you holding on so tightly?" Shuojin let go of Bei Mingchen's hand as he spoke.
After wandering around for a long time, Shuojin still didn’t get to the point!
"Say it!"
Bei Mingchen slammed the table and said angrily to Shuojin, his temper completely rising.
He glared at Shuo Jin fiercely and bared his teeth, as if he was going to eat Shuo Jin the next moment.
Shuo Jin was suddenly startled and sat upright suddenly, as if he had made a mistake, and nodded obediently towards Bei Mingchen.
"Actually, it's nothing."
When he spoke again, Shuojin was still hesitant. As he spoke, he moved to the side unnoticed. It was better to be a little farther away from Bei Mingchen. Bei Mingchen was already so angry, wouldn't it be wrong when he finished listening?
Are you about to explode?
Thinking of this, Shuojin bit her lip tightly, feeling happy again.
"Your Majesty and the Queen are asking you when you can get married and start a family. They also said that they will arrange some famous ladies for you to choose from. They hope that you will get married as soon as possible and have many people around you to take care of you..."
Shuojin looked at Bei Mingchen with a lustful look, said something, and moved to the side. The more he talked about these gossips, the brighter the smile on Shuojin's face. He was obviously the same as Bei Mingchen.
But when talking about these things, Shuo Jin always pretends to be an elder who cares about the younger generation.
As long as Bei Mingchen didn't come, Shuojin could keep talking, and the more he talked, the more energetic he became.
Bei Mingchen's face turned dark and his hands clenched tightly into fists. When he raised his eyes, a cold light swept towards Shuo Jin, scaring him into shutting up immediately.
"Then what!"
Looking at Shuojin's expression, as if he was deliberately trying to show off, Bei Mingchen knew that there must be more to come, but this guy's words were too procrastinating! If he was kept hanging like this, he wouldn't mind moving.
thick.
"Then I told you what happened."
A good man never suffers the immediate consequences, Shuo Jin explained succinctly. He deliberately pretended to be understated and looked at Bei Mingchen innocently. It was clearly a matter of two or three sentences, but he should have laid out such a long preparation.
Bei Mingchen didn't say anything, but glared at Shuojin fiercely, which was even more terrifying than the cold glare just now. Shuojin was so frightened that he hurriedly explained.
"Don't worry, don't worry. I didn't say anything extra. I just said that you already have the woman you like. Your Majesty and the Queen don't need to choose another woman for you, that's all."
Alas, it’s not good to go straight to the topic. You might be misunderstood! Looking at Bei Mingchen’s angry look, Shuojin complained silently in his heart.
"you you you!"
Bei Mingchen pointed his finger at Shuojin and yelled at him angrily. Thinking of these things, he was so angry that he couldn't help but feel angry!
"I'm doing this for your own good. The woman you find yourself will definitely be better than the one they arrange."
Shuo Jin stepped forward, took Bei Mingchen's hand, patted him gently, and forced his index finger back. Seeing that he kept pointing at her, Shuo Jin felt unhappy.
"Don't you know what the Queen is thinking about every day? How many of the women she is asked to select can truly be trusted?"
Seeing Bei Mingchen's expression of wanting to eat him, Shuojin hurriedly explained that he didn't mean to play tricks on him, he had carefully considered the matter.
If she really listens to the Queen's arrangement and the Princess enters the palace, she will naturally bring some maids with her. She will have to be careful when eating and walking, and I'm afraid she will be worried even when she sleeps.
Having said that, Bei Mingchen was just angry.
"Oh." Bei Mingchen responded nonchalantly, and then continued to blame Shuojin. "You don't need to make the decision on my affairs!"
Marriage is a life-long event, and Shuojin cannot be fooled around like this.
"There is no other way. The situation is urgent, so I can only make the decision for you. Besides, this incident can be considered a happy event, so why do you have to look so sad here."
Shuo Jin really couldn't figure out what was going on with Bei Mingchen. He was so depressed day by day. It was getting more and more inexplicable.
"You had other ways to answer such a question, but you chose this one."
Isn't it a good idea to just find an excuse to excuse him? There aren't that many princes who are married, and it's not like the fifth prince is the only one, so why talk so much! In Bei Mingchen's opinion, it was clear that Shuo Jin wanted to trick him.
"Hey, brother, I was spilled soup that night, and I had a red rash all over my body due to allergies. I've been in the palace for so long, how can I still have the time to think about these things?"
Facing Bei Mingchen's rebuke, Shuo Jin felt very unhappy. She did things for him, and despite being injured and suffered, she didn't get the credit for the work, but instead got a lot of complaints. Well, it was another loss-making business!
"I won't do this next time!" Bei Mingchen shook his sleeves angrily and turned around angrily.
"Don't you have a little pet?"
Shuojin asked tentatively, wanting to hear his attitude towards the woman again. Having said this, Shuojin became much more serious. He frowned slightly and looked at Bei Mingchen intently.
"I will take care of her."
Bei Mingchen said without hesitation. He raised his eyes and met Shuo Jin's questioning eyes. He looked at Shuo Jin firmly without any dodge, which made Shuo Jin feel a little more at ease.
"The most indestructible thing in the world is love, and the most fragile thing is love. Don't let others down." Shuo Jin sighed.
"Don't worry about my affairs! Just do your part."
Bei Mingchen said something to him angrily, and then left without looking back.
Shuojin was left alone, sitting there at a loss, stupidly recalling the conversation just now.
He picked up the glass of wine on the table and drank it in one gulp.
He has said everything that needs to be said today, it is up to Bei Mingchen to decide exactly how to do it.
They haven't seen each other for four years, and Shuojin doesn't know what Su Ningqing has gone through in the past three years, and what she and Bei Mingchen have gone through. However, Shuojin guesses that they must have experienced some unforgettable things to become what they are now.
