If Shen Qingyi agrees, she must marry into the East Palace and become a concubine. From then on, she will be imprisoned in the palace and will naturally have no fate with Chu Zhengyue. But if she does not agree, then Shen Qingyi will have acquiesced in colluding with the King of Shu.
.
If you extend your head completely, it will be a knife, and if you shrink your head, it will be a knife.
In fact, if she had never fallen in love with Chu Zhengyue because of his life-saving grace, marrying the prince would not be a bad destination for Shen Qingyi.
First of all, although the prince is the crown prince, it is inevitable that he will have three palaces and six courtyards, but the prince concubine is the future queen. Shen Qingyi served as a empress for seven years in her previous life. Since she can assist the idiot King Liang, the loyal prince will naturally also assist her.
Already.
Although the second prince is not as scheming as the King of Shu, after all, he is backed by the Meng family and is a direct descendant. His biological mother, Queen Mingyao, has a stable position and many supporters. Compared with the turbulent previous life, he will definitely be better after he succeeds to the throne.
many.
But the problem is also clear. Men in the world are ruthless. There is no guarantee that the crown prince will not be the second Zhao Xian after the world is pacified. Shen Qingyi has understood the meaning of this sentence thoroughly in his previous life and will never make the same mistake again in this life.
principle.
Secondly, Shen Qingyi now pretends to be Chu Zhengyue in her heart. Although she has not yet been engaged, she has the fate of her past life and this life, so she has no reason to marry anyone else at will.
Therefore, she was naturally reluctant to what Queen Mingyao said.
Yan Xin heard the sound and came in with a brocade box, which had obviously been prepared early in the morning. This showed that Queen Mingyao really appreciated her, so she had prepared a gift early in the morning. The conversation just now was indeed
Tested.
She deliberately did not refuse. Instead, she always spoke and said for the sake of the prince. Even though Queen Mingyao knew that this was an expedient measure, she could not say anything. If she made the decision immediately, she would be like a villain who wanted to force Shen Qingyi to marry her, and it would inevitably be criticized.
.
Queen Mingyao turned around and said: "Miss Shen is really beautiful and smart, but you are always rejecting me. Today in the palace, you framed Liu Muzhi in front of everyone's eyes. If I want to do this,
If you want to be held accountable, do you think I really can’t hold you accountable? Or, aren’t you afraid that I will punish you for your crimes?”
"If Qingyi really gets married to the prince, then the prince, the king of Shu, and his daughter will all be caught up in the rumors. Even if the daughter is really lucky enough to become the future queen, she will also fall into disgrace because of this rumor.
The prince was suspicious.
Being a queen for seven years in her previous life taught her how to understand other people's weaknesses and how to read people's hearts, but she could never understand the saying "Being with the king is like being with a tiger."
When Shen Qingyi fell to the ground, she realized that her back had been soaked with sweat for some time. It was cold and slightly stained against her skin, with some itchiness, but she had no time to care about it at the moment.
She is betting on the sibling relationship between Queen Mingyao and Meng Yi!
Queen Mingyao did not wake her up immediately, but she also did not immediately drag her out to punish her.
She raised her head and said: "It is Qingyi's blessing to be able to marry His Highness the Crown Prince at the discretion of the Empress. However, Empress Cai said just now that there are rumors about Qingyi and the King of Shu in the capital. Although it is a lie, there is no smoke without fire.
, it’s hard to guarantee that there are people who are interested in gossiping about this matter.
What's more, her strength was already revealed in front of Queen Mingyao, but after she showed it, she made it clear that she did not want to submit to their mother and son.
As he spoke, he pretended to slap himself, which made the Queen of Ballads purse her lips and smile, and said: "You are a kid who is used to pleasing people. From now on, you will often come into the palace to talk to me. I will watch.
, your blessing lies behind."
As she spoke, she raised her voice and called: "Come here!"
"While at the hunting ground, Liu Muzhi's sister Liu Muyan disguised herself as his appearance to assassinate the courtier's daughter, and even killed Uncle Meng Guo. This incident was a matter of outrage among people and gods. Although Liu Muzhi stayed out of the matter, his sister disguised herself as his appearance.
He must be aware of the matter, and whether he is involved is even more unknown! He owes the Shen family an explanation, he owes Uncle Meng an explanation, and he also owes the world an explanation!
"My brother, a fifth-rank magistrate, can be treated like this by him. It shows how terrifying the Liu family's ears and eyes are. If I don't let Ji fight with him and admit defeat, I don't know how many lives will be lost in the future."
In his hands, if the empress is like this and wants to punish me, I have nothing to say, but I beg your empress to make the decision for me, the Shen family and Uncle Meng Guo!"
If the bet wins, the entire Liu family will completely collapse and be completely swallowed up by the Meng family, which has been secretly fighting for generations. This will also completely remove the thorn in Liu Muzhi's side.
She couldn't help but ponder the conversation just now in her mind, and couldn't help but think about what was wrong with what she just said.
Whether to cherish her thorny rose or to uproot it entirely, it all depends on Queen Mingyao's thoughts.
"Therefore, for the sake of the reputation of His Highness the Crown Prince, even if the Empress wants me to get engaged to His Highness the Prince, she should wait for two years. When these rumors dissipate over time, then the Empress will issue a decree to grant the marriage. Wouldn't everyone be happy?
A beautiful thing?"
But how to refuse without leaving any trace or reason is a big problem.
Shen Qingyi smiled calmly and said: "The Queen is the mother of the world. If she wants to punish her for her crimes, she has nothing to say. But if the Queen punishes her for Liu Muzhi's crimes, she will cry out that she is wronged.
.
He knocked his head heavily on the ground.
Shen Qingyi rolled her eyes under the cover of her eyelashes, and after a moment she suddenly had an idea.
As soon as Queen Mingyao said these words, Shen Qingyi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and finally said with a smile: "Your Majesty has given you both kindness and power. I was really impressed by your majesty, so I knelt down and knelt down unconsciously. I didn't want to let your Majesty not do it."
Yue, it really deserves a beating!"
No matter how hard you try to judge people's hearts, it is still through the belly. No one can predict whether it is red or black.
Saying that, Shen Qingyi lifted her skirt and knelt down.
If she loses the bet, she will become an innocent soul in the palace wall today, fall into hell, and never be reincarnated again.
"I was just joking with you, but you actually took it seriously. In your eyes, am I such a moody person?"
After an unknown amount of time, Queen Mingyao spoke, and Shen Qingyi's heart tightened.
Shen Qingyi was a little resentful.
The queen thought it was just a few words to test, but she felt that her neck was cold and her head seemed to fall to the ground at any time, with the four characters "Robbing the family and exterminating the clan" attached to it.
A mere reward is nothing compared to the lives of the entire Shen family.
Queen Mingyao pulled her forward and said with a smile: "This pair of jade bracelets was given to me by the Empress Dowager when she married into the East Palace. The Empress Dowager said that I am the Crown Princess and will be the only queen in the world in the future."
, Now that I am getting older, wearing this green and tender jade bracelet is really inappropriate for my status. I see that your wrist is slender, so this bracelet fits perfectly on your wrist. "
