As he expected, Shen Rui was slightly startled when he heard the words "like a flower and a beautiful wife", and then smiled to himself, and couldn't help but sigh.
Like a beautiful wife like a flower... In his Shangshu Mansion, the only one who really accompanies him is the fourth lady Liu Yiyi. Maybe in the past, he would have thought so, but he later found out that his real wife like a flower should be Wei Zijin!
But the beautiful and beautiful wife he really wanted, the beautiful and beautiful wife who originally belonged to him only... is no longer with him!
And he has no room for redemption!
Thinking of this, Shen Rui's smile became more and more bitter. Even the wine he had always liked lost its original taste after drinking it, and the tip of his tongue was filled with an indescribable bitter taste.
Xiao Zhao keenly caught the change in his expression. A flash of light flashed in his eyes. His face remained calm. While pouring wine for Shen Rui, he said quietly: "It seems that Shen Shangshu is worried... I heard that Shen Rui is worried." The fourth lady that Shangshu loves the most, why can’t the fourth lady help Shen Shangshu solve his problems?”
Shen Rui shook his head and smiled bitterly, silently looking at the glass of wine in his hand in trance.
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, Xiao Zhao was not in a hurry. He sighed and said: "It seems that Shen Shangshu, like me, has never met a woman who can solve his problems... I envy the King of Luoyang. In times of crisis, there are still women who rush to the battlefield for him and fight the enemy side by side with him!"
When Xiao Zhao said this, he deliberately showed a look of envy, and sighed: "Now the emperor has granted them a marriage, the King of Luoyang finally got a beautiful woman back. I am really envious of this king to be able to get such a beautiful wife and beautiful wife!"
Seeing Shen Rui's face change suddenly, obviously reacting to what he said, Xiao Zhao deliberately smiled and asked: "Shen Shangshu, do you think so?"
Shen Rui's hand holding the wine glass shook slightly, and he finally calmed down. He held the wine glass tightly for a while, then raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.
How ironic it is that King Xiao Jingyao of Luoyang has never established a concubine. Who would have thought that the last person King of Luoyang would marry was a woman that he did not cherish?!
After hearing that the emperor was going to grant a marriage to the King of Luoyang and Wei Zijin so soon, he knew that his hope of finally saving Wei Zijin had been completely cut off!
The King of Luoyang was his close friend. Perhaps when he heard that the King of Luoyang and Wei Zijin knew each other and fell in love, he complained a little about the King of Luoyang, but he had no way to interfere. Who did the King of Luoyang like?
What's more, he didn't cherish Wei Zijin at the beginning, which led to the current ending. He can't blame the King of Luoyang, let alone Wei Zijin!
"Your Majesty, what you said makes sense!" Shen Rui said calmly, not wanting to discuss the marriage between Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao and Wei Zijin in front of Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao!
Seeing his calm tone, Xiao Zhao thought he was pretending not to care, and said with a faint smile: "Don't Shen Shangshu have any thoughts in his heart? After all, Wei Zijin was once the Shangshu's wife... I heard that Shen Shangshu and the King of Luoyang have always been together. We have a good personal relationship, but why does the King of Luoyang want to marry Shen Shangshu’s former wife?!”
Shen Rui's face darkened, he put down the wine glass in his hand, and said in a deep voice to Xiao Zhao: "Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. Zijin is no longer Xiaguan's wife. Now she is marrying the King of Luoyang, and it has nothing to do with Xiaguan!"
