Zhao Hu knew that he had always coveted the crown prince position, but he had always relied on Queen Mingyao and was conceited that the King of Shu could not take away his crown prince position, not to mention that this was just a woman of modest family background.
It is said that marrying a virtuous wife and keeping concubines is a good idea. Shen Qingyi is now the crown princess appointed by Queen Mingyao. No matter how high her status is, Zhou Mengfu cannot get past her. Even the Shen family will not say anything.
It's just that if Zhou Mengfu and Shen Jingnian are really in love with each other this time, then the matter will not be so easy.
Putting aside the fact that if this matter is done unintentionally, it will offend the Shen family and give the Shen family a reason to reject the marriage. Even if the Shen family doesn't say anything, if there are some rumors outside, it will undoubtedly bring shame to the reputation of the prince.
At the most petty level, it was nothing more than a teenage romance, at the most age level, it was coveting the minister's wife. If it were recorded in the history books, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he would be infamy for thousands of years.
Zhao Hu really hesitated.
Although he thought of this, he still glanced at Zhao Xu warily.
He didn't think that his brother, who had been fighting with him for many years, could really be kind enough to help.
However, Zhao Xu's mother-in-law, Concubine Su, has been favored for many years and relies on the Su family. It would be disadvantageous for him to really break up with her, so he asked perfunctorily: "Oh? I wonder what you have to say?"
Zhao Xu naturally knew that his intention was to be conciliatory with his own, but he just turned his lips silently.
Since Princess Linjiang had already greeted them, the abbot and the supervisor of the temple received the three people at the door in advance. After washing away the dirty dust with dew-stained wicker sticks, applying incense and bathing in fragrance, a young novice took the three people with them. Went to their respective residences.
However, when he turned his head, his eyes had become peaceful.
The carriage is still running as usual.
He reached out and patted Zhao Xu on the shoulder.
When Zhou Mengfu heard this, she turned her head away awkwardly and said softly: "Second Young Master, why do you need to be secretive when you look at me?"
Shen Jingnian propped up his chin and looked at Zhou Mengfu with a smile, who was talking happily about the need to try the plain noodles in the temple during this trip to Changming Temple. However, he suddenly noticed that Zhou Mengfu glanced at the back of the carriage with some worry.
Zhao Xu was indeed very scheming. He knew that if he came to confront her, he would definitely attract the attention of others, so he invited her nominal fiancé to come. In this way, no one would notice him, the young man who was traveling with him. The little king of Shu.
Shen Qingyi's face flashed in Zhao Xu's mind, and his eyes narrowed slightly due to intoxication.
"Brother, think about it, Aunt Wuhua has given so many beauties to our father, and my mother and concubine have never said anything, right? It is what I, the future emperor's wife, should do to prepare concubines for the prince and brother. It's just a girl from the Shen family. If Miss Zhou becomes the emperor's brother in advance, even Shen Erlang will probably not say anything, right?"
Seeing this, Shen Jingnian asked after Shen Qingyi stopped talking: "Fu'er, what's wrong with you? Why are you so unconscious?"
Although there was only one glance, Shen Qingyi still clearly saw the words "If you say one more word, I will kill you."
When Shen Qingyi saw the two of them dressed in plain clothes, she couldn't help being slightly startled by the surprise.
"They say that you are a quiet kid who doesn't like to make a sound. Now it seems that you are really a master who just keeps silent and becomes a blockbuster. I really underestimated you in the past."
Zhao Hu was thoughtful.
Zhou Mengfu blushed when she saw him asking, lowered her head to cover up: "It's nothing, it's just that I always felt a little worried for no reason during this journey, as if someone was staring at me, and I looked a little uneasy. Maybe it's because I rarely go out. You must be a little nervous."
"It's just a wise and wise way to protect yourself. Prince Bo and your brother just laughed it off. When your brother ascends the throne, I hope you don't forget that I am a good brother."
Zhao Xu smiled and said: "I have already thought of a plan, and I would like to ask the emperor to come over and listen carefully."
Prince Zhao Hu smiled.
"A frivolous woman who lost her virginity before marriage and took the initiative to recommend herself as a pillow to the current prince. Even if Shen Erlang dares to accept such an identity, I am afraid that the Shen family will not be able to tolerate this Miss Zhou as his wife. At that time, the prince and the emperor will reluctantly show up. Isn’t it justifiable for me to take Miss Zhou into the East Palace?"
When Zhao Xu saw her, he showed a subtle smile, but it was fleeting. Prince Zhao Hu probably knew that she was his future princess, so he was not interested, so he just looked away. She looked away immediately.
Zhou Mengfu was weak, so Shen Qingyi deliberately asked her to cook a vegetarian meal for her alone and bring it to the house, while she and Shen Jingnian ate together to have a good time.
He smiled calmly and said: "If His Highness intends to make Zhou Mengfu his wife, it will indeed be a bit difficult, but Zhou Mengfu comes from a poor family, so wanting her to be a concubine is just to flatter her, and this time Zhou Mengfu and Sisters Kang He and Qingtong, if Kang He, the future crown princess, persuades her to marry the emperor's brother, even the Shen family can't say anything, wouldn't this matter be done twice the result with half the effort?"
Just waiting for a meal, the brother and sister were very happy and were pushing the door out, but they bumped into each other with the Zhao brothers.
What he said made sense. Even the prince Zhao Hu couldn't say anything to refute immediately. He just frowned and said: "Nonsense! If Kang He is willing to lobby me, why bother sighing here?"
"you mean……"
The carriage drove all the way through the winding mountain road.
The outline of Changming Temple hidden in the maple forest gradually became clearer. It is worthy of being a temple in the name of the royal family. It is really not an ordinary temple. In the cold mountain, the bells are faintly ringing from far to near. The closer they get, the two girls begin to He became more and more excited, chattering and speculating about the future life of living in Changming Temple.
Zhao Xu, King of Shu, looked at his somewhat meaningful expression and calmly handed over his hand.
"Don't worry, this is natural."
Shen Jingnian glanced at her.
The vegetarian food at Changming Temple is extremely well cooked, light but without losing the deliciousness of the ingredients. Both the Shen brothers and sisters have always loved beautiful things. After tasting it, they felt very good and they lectured on scriptures and Taoism with the monks in the temple. , coming and going, it’s quite fun.
Zhao Hu stared at him and suddenly smiled.
He said softly: "Prince and brother, please be patient. The three cardinal principles and the five constant principles say that the husband is the wife's guide. Naturally, when a woman gets married, her whole heart will be concerned about her husband. No matter how wild a horse is, it will have to be tamed, let alone As a royal wife, it is only natural for her husband to take in concubines.
However, Shen Qingyi clearly saw that the tips of her brother's ears slowly turned red.
Shen Qingyi understood this as soon as he saw this.
…
She held her fist to her lips, bent her eyes and smiled silently.
When Shen Qingyi heard this, she laughed and joked: "Maybe my brother couldn't take his eyes away when he saw Fu'er's beauty. He stared at Fu'er without blinking. I think he scared Fu'er."
Shen Qingyi shut her mouth obediently.
As expected of the King of Shu, his scheming is truly unfathomable.
It seems that this trip to Changming Temple will definitely be very interesting.
Thinking of this, she raised the corners of her mouth and gave her a sultry smile. She hesitated to speak, and the breath she exhaled was filled with an indescribable ambiguity.
"How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King of Shu condescend to come here?"
Wait until I finish coding and add more chapters today, don't worry
