[69 Book Bar - www.] Shen Guangting smiled happily. The more he looked at his precious daughter, the more satisfied he became. He couldn't help but reached out to touch her head and sighed, "Ah Chu, father never told you , the way you smile is very similar to your mother."
Shen Yunchu held the soup in his hand and thought slightly. His father had never taken the initiative to mention his mother in front of her, but he suddenly mentioned it tonight. There must be something important to say, "Maybe my father told me Ah Chu, what kind of person is my mother?"
Shen Guangting's eyes flashed for a moment, and he paused for a long time before speaking slowly and with fascination, "Achu, your mother is the smartest, most beautiful, and most lovely woman in the world."
He only said this sentence and then said nothing more. His eyes were so soft that he was really immersed in a kind of happy thoughts, with an aura of tenderness rippling around his body.
When Shen Yun first saw his expression, she couldn't bear to interrupt his thoughts. However, tonight was a rare opportunity and she would not let it go. "Since my mother is so outstanding, how could she become my father's concubine?"
"Your mother is not a concubine!" Shen Guangting was interrupted by her words and retorted almost unconsciously, "Your mother is such a beautiful woman with such a noble life experience, how could she be a concubine? ?How could my father be willing to make her a concubine?"
Shen Yunchu stared at him, "If that's the case, then why was Ah Chu's mother scolded by her mother as a concubine who was too humble and unworthy of the Shen family tree?"
"Bastard!" After Shen Guangting roared out, he could see clearly that Shen Yunchu was clenching his fist tightly and letting it go, "Ah Chu, your mother... is the most beautiful woman in the world. The reason why I didn't let her enter the Shen family's genealogy was not because of her low status, but because... my father couldn't bear it. For a noble and noble woman like your mother, the word "concubine" would be an insult to her! Ah Chu ...Don’t listen to Wei Xiuru’s nonsense.”
Shen Yunchu quietly held the soup in his hand and sighed softly for a long time, "Father, what are you hiding from Ah Chu?"
"Ah Chu, there are some things that you know too much about. Your mother's life experience is related to hidden political issues. It is not your father who has the final say. But you have to believe that your mother is definitely a good woman." Shen Guangting said.
"What about this jade pendant?" Shen Yunchu took off the jade pendant from her neck. She wanted her father to tell what happened that year. "This is the only token that my mother left to Ah Chu, but Ah Jiu also has something. It was said to be a token of love, but why did my father never tell Ah Chu about this marriage?"
Shen Guangting put the jade pendant in his hand and rubbed it carefully, "This is indeed what your mother left for you, but it doesn't have to be regarded as a token of love. Ah Jiu's mother and your mother are actually the same child. Sisters who were born together, that's why they have such identical jade pendants, and then passed them on to you two respectively, so this jade pendant is actually a token passed down from their family."
But it can also be regarded as a token of love!
Shen Guangting circled this sentence in his mind, but he never said it out loud.
"Li Clan?" Shen Yunchu asked, "Father, what you mean is that this jade pendant is a family heirloom of the Li Clan royal family?"
Shen Guangting was a little surprised, "How did you know you were from the Li clan? Who told you?"
"Of course Ah Jiu said it." Shen Yunchu asked for the jade pendant and hung it around his neck again. "Father, there is no need to hide it. Ah Jiu told Ah Chu everything. It's just that Ah Chu wanted to hear it from his father in person. I just heard that the matter of leaving the clan is related to the various forces and interest disputes in the Liang Dynasty. Ah Chu will naturally not get involved. But if the matter is related to Ah Chu's marriage, Ah Chu has to pay attention to it. I heard that ...Achu is going to marry Ajiu?"
"Then Ah Chu, tell me, what do you think of Ah Jiu? In the past five years, you have been very caring to him, but you suddenly refused to marry His Highness Prince Jin. You have been confused as a father for a long time." Shen Guangting not only Instead of being surprised that Ah Chu knew what she had deliberately concealed, she held her hand with concern and said, "Actually, in my father's heart, Ah Jiu is the most suitable husband for Ah Chu. Although he is not old, he is But my heart for Ah Chu is true, and my father can see it."
"Then the father thinks that Ah Jiu is a good match for his daughter?" Shen Yunchu frowned with a heroic brow, "If the father really thinks so, why didn't the father stop his daughter from marrying someone other than His Royal Highness Prince Jin earlier?"
"Actually, my father is very open-minded. Whoever Ah Chu likes in his heart and who he wants to spend his life with is the most important thing. We Yunzhou people are straightforward. If you like it, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it. Unlike the nobles in Kyoto, You're so coy. Are Ah Chu willing to marry Ah Jiu?" Shen Guangting didn't feel at all that there was anything against the ethics of talking to his daughter about marriage in person.
"Father's words today are uncertain. This is not like the father he usually is. Is it because of what Imperial Physician Lin said?" Shen Yunchu has been wondering since Shen Yunchu left. If a timid and fearful person like Imperial Physician Lin hadn't been there, How could he dare to disclose Xiao Jiu's condition to everyone under the instruction of some people in Linjiang Palace? Even if she hinted at Doctor Lin in every possible way, she had a close relationship with Xiao Jiu, and Doctor Lin should abide by medical ethics and not disclose the patient's condition easily.
Shen Guangting sighed, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from my little Ah Chu! I entered the palace today. Your Majesty intends to test our Shen Mansion to see if we are willing to marry you into Linjiang Prince's Mansion. He wants to give you and Ah Jiu two It’s about getting married.”
"Ah? How did the father reply?" Shen Yunchu was shocked by the sudden news and was at a loss. He felt his mind went blank. He waited for a long time before continuing to ask, "Father, Ah Jiu and I are siblings. With such affection, I have always loved him as my brother, how can I marry him as my wife? Does your Majesty have a profound meaning in this move?"
In Shen Yunchu's view, marriages granted by the emperor usually have a strong political nature. Any concubine in the harem is the spokesperson of a certain power. Controlling the harem means controlling the previous dynasty, so the first thing that flashed through her mind was One thought is the fight for the right to inherit the throne!
"Holy will is unpredictable, and it's hard for me to guess, but Your Majesty should have no ill intentions. Besides, you and Xiao Jiu were meant to be together. Five years ago...he came to Yunzhou mostly because of you. Do you know that you are in the body Is the voodoo in his body male or female?" Shen Guangting hesitated, but finally said it. He couldn't hide such a big thing that was related to his daughter's life.
"What do father's words mean?" Shen Yunchu's eyes widened, and he was stunned by the news one after another. It took him a long time to understand the meaning of this sentence, "What father means is, Ah Chu The engagement with Ah Jiu...is this pair of Gu insects?"
