Yanmenchun

When Shentuchan returned to the mansion, Shentuqi was admiring the plum blossoms with the old lady, Shentuchan watched from a distance, Xiaoman said: "Miss, why don't you go over?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head: "Let the third lady take care of the general affairs from tomorrow on."

Xiaoman nodded.

Shen Tuchan stood and watched for a while before turning and leaving.

New Year's Eve.

This year, if Shentu Danlin didn't take her out shopping, she wouldn't meet Jiang Lan either.

She watched the old lady stand alone in the snowy night for a long time after she fell asleep.

Xiao Man didn't know what was on her mind, so he urged her to go back, and said: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head, the plum blossoms were very fragrant at night, she sniffed lightly and said, "Xiao Man, tell me, can I go back to Mobei? I can hardly dream of my parents now."

Xiaoman was taken aback by this words, she said softly: "Miss, you have always done a good job, I believe you."

Shen Tuchan turned her face and smiled at her, but said nothing.

She sat quietly in the candlelight all night, and went to the princess mansion to meet Princess Tai'an the next day.

The sedan chair she sat in was overcast when she went there, and it felt like it was going to snow, but the weather was warm.

Princess Tai'an was sitting indoors waiting for her, the window was wide open, and the wind from outside was blowing in gently.

The maids served tea and went down.

Princess Tai'an looked at Shentuchan and said with a smile: "I know what my concubine mother told you, Shentu, are you here to give me the answer?"

Shen Tuchan nodded: "Princess, His Royal Highness does not object to your going to the Great Zhou?"

Princess Tai'an stood up and said: "I have no objection, after all, I am for Dajin."

The two looked at each other, and Shentuchan said, "I only have one request."

Princess Tai'an looked at her with seriousness in her eyes: "Okay, tell me."

She heard Shen Tuchan's voice echoing in the room.

"If I assist you to become the queen of the Great Zhou, please ask the Jiang family to make me a maidservant and give me Mobei as a fiefdom."

As soon as she finished speaking, the winter thunder was rolling outside, Princess Tai'an took half a step back in shock in the thunder and winter wind, her eyes were full of disbelief.

Shen Tuchan didn't explain, just looked at her like that.

Once Princess Tai'an becomes the queen of Da Zhou, she will have the bargaining chip to trade with Da Jin. For her, as long as she has the basics, the title of baroness is completely achievable.

This is the deal.

It was at this moment that Princess Tai'an understood Shen Tuchan. She was so terribly squeezed into the center of power, so desperate to stand out, for Mo Bei, to get Mo Bei.

Shen Tuchan looked at her motionless, as if she would turn her head and leave as soon as she said a word 'no'.

It began to rain patter outside, and it actually fell a winter rain.

The rain fell on the window sill and wet the floor tiles along the wall.

Princess Tai'an who was quiet in the room could almost hear her own voice. After a few breaths, she smiled and said: "Okay, I promise you, I will let you come back when I become the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and ask the father or the crown prince to enshrine you." As a female concubine, the fief of Mobei, Shentu, we have made a deal."

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and there was also some wind, and the bead curtains blown by the wind hit and entangled together, making a noise.

Shen Tuchan smiled and said, "Princess, please give me three high-fives to make an oath."

Princess Tai'an took a step forward.

A momentary white light suddenly appeared in the sky, illuminating the rain curtain like daytime, followed by heavy thunder, as if the sky had split open.

Shen Tuchan raised her hand and hit Princess Tai'an hard.

She said: "Today, the princess promises me that I will never change it unless my body dies and my soul disappears!"

The lightning passed away, leaving only the sound of rolling thunder, and a large area of ​​the indoor floor was wet.

Shen Tuchan raised her hand again to give Princess Taian a high five.

Princess Tai'an said: "If you break this oath, you will be struck by lightning, and you will die."

The thunder gradually stopped, but the rain seemed to be getting heavier.

One last high five.

Shen Tuchan smiled: "Princess, our fate is tied together, you should be mentally prepared."

The sound of rain outside was pattering, and the rain curtain raised a cloud of mist. Princess Taian also smiled and said, "Shentu, I will wait and see."

Shen Tuchan didn't answer her words, but turned around and walked over to close the window.

She has a dusty slack.

Princess Tai'an was silent for a moment behind her, and said in a low voice: "Shentu, why are you so persistent in going back to Mobei?"

The sound of the rain was too noisy, and Shen Tuchan couldn't hear what Princess Tai'an said.

After closing the window, she turned around and asked in confusion, "What did the princess say?"

Princess Tai'an looked at her cold eyebrows and said: "Why are you so persistent in going back to Mobei?"

Shen Tuchan lowered her head only to realize that she was stepping on the rainwater that seeped in just now, and her skirt fell into the water, maybe it was wet.

She came out of the rain and left a few footprints on the ground. She looked up and smiled and said, "Princess, I will tell you when it happens. You just need to know that we are all for the same goal."

Princess Tai'an nodded, and Shentuchan agreed to her, but she was a little worried. She also said that she promised Brother Wuhuang to take care of Shentuchan, but now, she is going to take Shentuchan away.

She didn't know whether she breathed a sigh of relief or sighed, Shen Tuchan didn't seem to hear it.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Tuchan wrote a post to Feng Yingru to see Feng Yingru.

It's winter now, Feng Yingru is pregnant, so it's not easy to move around too much.

When Shen Tuchan passed by, she was watching the maids embroider small clothes for the unborn child.

Feng Yingru was fatter than before, and her face also had a maternal radiance. She said to Shen Tuchan with bright eyes, "I must be a good mother."

Shen Tuchan looked at her with a smile: "Well, you are considerate and gentle. You will definitely be a good mother like the county magistrate in the future."

Feng Yingru likes to eat sour food recently, so he brought preserved fruit for Shen Tuchan to eat.

The preserved fruit was extremely sour in the mouth, and Shen Tuchan drank a whole cup of tea to suppress the sour taste.

Feng Yingru and Yu Rong'er laughed, Yu Rong'er was bringing watermelon for her to eat: "Miss Shentu, it's the servant's fault that I didn't look at the Xiangjun."

Seeing that she was in a good mood, Shen Tuchan shook her hand at Yu Rong'er: "Go down, I have something to tell your township lord."

Feng Yingru stopped laughing after watching Yu Rong'er leave: "What's wrong?"

Shen Tuchan still squeezed a sour candied fruit in her hand, she didn't look at Feng Yingru, she only looked at the preserved fruit and said, "Sisi, I'm going to leave the capital city for a while."

Feng Yingru's smile faded away: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Shen Tuchan shook her head with a calm expression: "A little thing, it's similar to going to Mobei before."

Feng Yingru looked at her for a while: "Okay, remember to tell me if you have any difficulties, I will wait for you to come back."

After speaking, she stretched out her hand and squeezed a candied fruit in her hand: "Where are you going?"

Shen Tuchan took her hand and said with a smile, "Da Zhou."

The candied fruit in Feng Yingru's hands fell to the ground, Feng Yingru suddenly looked up at her: "What did you say?"

Shen Tuchan smiled, and put the preserved fruit in her hand back on the small plate: "Go to Dazhou, and do a great event to honor our ancestors."

She looked sly, then bent down and picked up the candied fruit that fell on the ground and put it on the table.

Feng Yingru stared at her with tears shining, as if he wanted to penetrate her, and firmly remember her current appearance.
