Yanmenchun

Chapter 42

This is actually a very strange thing, Jiang Lan seldom pays much attention to women, always thinks their little thought is ridiculous, they all secretly fight like black-eyed chickens.

This Shen Tuchan was different, she didn't participate in this cockfight, she seemed to regard herself as a gambler who decided to win or lose.

Jiang Lan drank tea silently and did not speak any more.

Shen Tuchan lifted the bamboo curtain and was still looking outside, she seemed to be in a good mood.

"The marriage between Baoqing and Qin Wenyu is about to be finalized." Jiang Lan suddenly interrupted Shen Tuchan's wandering thoughts outside.

Shen Tuchan was taken aback for a moment: "Why so suddenly?"

"Princess Ronghua County is seriously ill, Qin Wenyu is going back." Jiang Lan said lightly, but Shen Tuchan's heart tightened when he heard it. He said so, it must be a certainty.

His Majesty the Emperor is currently in a state of desperation because of the affairs of the court, if Princess Baoqing makes trouble because of the past marriage, Shen Tuchan can hardly imagine what will happen.

She was a little worried about Princess Baoqing for a while.

Jiang Lan looked at her slightly raised eyebrows and said: "The old prince will control her, you don't have to worry."

Shen Tuchan suddenly sneered and said: "Your Highness, what if I am not worried about the princess? You see, the princess is my big backer. If she marries to Huguang, I will lose my support in the capital city. "

Jiang Lan drank the tea in the cup and said: "You can't, you still have Taian."

Shen Tuchan also drank the remaining tea in the cup.

Both of them stood up, Shen Tuchan was about to give him a respectful look, but he took something out of his sleeve and put it on the table, saying: "Smart people can live better."

Shen Tuchan didn't react, and looked at him with some doubts: "What?"

"backing."

Jiang Lan lifted her robe and went out.

Shen Tuchan was the only one left in the tea room, she looked down, there was a token of the Yan Palace on the table, a small jade plaque with the word "Yan" in the middle.

Shen Tuchan raised her eyebrows, picked up the jade tablet and threw it into her sleeve.

When they returned to Zhenbeihou Mansion, Princess Baoqing was already sitting in Shen Tuchan's living room.

Shen Tuchan led her into her boudoir without changing her clothes. Princess Baoqing sat down on the couch with a sluggish expression and said, "Why is your house so deserted?"

Shen Tuchan couldn't help laughing. The Zhenbei Hou Mansion was originally sparsely populated. Shen Tuyu was sent to the Zhuangzi. The Fang family was pretending to be sick because of taking concubines. The elder brother and the third uncle were not at home often, and the second uncle's family existed again. very low.

She personally served tea to Princess Baoqing: "The princess doesn't need my solution, does she?"

Princess Baoqing held his chin to look at Shen Tuchan's Piercing Cloud and Flicking Moon Sword not far away, staring at it and said: "The imperial grandfather mentioned my marriage to me a few days ago, maybe he was prepared for it, I'm not that sad either, I thought about it carefully, at worst I'll pretend to be in love with him, he doesn't care about me, I don't care about him, don't bother anyone else. "

Although she said so, her expression was not good.

Shen Tuchan took down the two swords and put them on the table to show Princess Baoqing, she looked at the sword with a little joy, and said in a relaxed tone: "Princess, you have lived the best days in the world , the status is noble, the parents are loving and pampered, although the marriage is not so satisfactory, but His Majesty did not treat you badly, you are marrying the person that many ladies want to marry."

Princess Baoqing pulled out one of them and made a movement of swinging a sword in the air.

Shen Tuchan thought for a while and asked again: "Does the Princess really have no sweetheart?"

Princess Baoqing shook her head and said, "No, maybe I just think that everything should go well for me."

After she finished speaking, she sighed and said again: "It's nothing, the empress told me that every year when I get married, someone will pick me up and come to live in the capital city for a month."

Shen Tuchan nodded and did not speak. Princess Baoqing was so sad, she couldn't help asking herself this close friend who seemed to have never been sad before: "What about you? You are almost at the age to say goodbye, right?"

After thinking for a while, he said: "There is no one in charge in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and no one will take care of it for you. How about I choose one of my brothers for you. My brothers are not bad."

Shen Tuchan choked on a mouthful of tea and coughed for a long time.

Princess Baoqing patted her on the back unhappily: "What I said is true, you are beautiful, and you are not affected by pretentiousness. Don't worry about your mother's family. If my elder brother is not married, your character, when The eldest daughter-in-law is the best, she will be the concubine of the world in the future, Princess Gong, no one dares to do anything wrong, she must be in harmony with her sister-in-law, and the back house will be quiet."

Shen Tuchan's handkerchief touched her lips, and she couldn't help laughing: "Thank you for the compliment, the princess, maybe the princess doesn't know me well enough, I have the problem of affectation."

"What?" Princess Baoqing was taken aback.

"I want to be like my father and mother, a twin for life."

Princess Baoqing was really stunned at this moment. As the princess, she is one of the best pearls in the capital city, and she still dare not say such crazy words.

But Shen Tuchan said it, and she said it lightly, she met Princess Baoqing's eyes and said: "Princess, I am not a kind person, my husband must be in love with me, it is my own choice." Yes, if he betrays me, I will kill him. If it is not my choice, he will either stay away from me and become a fake couple. In the future, I will pick a pleasing bastard to raise under my knees, or he will never be married forever. concubine."

Princess Baoqing's eyes stare like copper bells. No matter how arrogant and rebellious she is, she has also lived in the capital city for more than ten years. All the influences she has received tell her that it is normal for a man to have several concubines for breeding children.

She seemed to know why she was unhappy, not because she really hated Qin Wenyu, but because she couldn't accept Qin Wenyu's house full of Yingying Yanyan from the bottom of her heart.

As a princess, she has been proud for so many years, how could she accept working with so many women?

Princess Baoqing stared at Shen Tuchan seriously, Shen Tuchan let her watch very calmly, and Princess Baoqing spoke after a while.

"You are right, absolutely right! This princess is born with arrogance. It would be fine if he, Qin Wenyu, treats me as a guest of honor. If not, what is his position as a concubine? As a princess, I am the same as her mother. One level, so what if you don’t live in a separate government, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so it’s possible that the censor can go to Huguang to scold me!”

A smile bloomed on her face again, and Shen Tuchan also heaved a sigh of relief.

Princess Baoqing did not leave just like that, the imperial decree is about to be issued, and she will soon stay in the palace to be married, and now she can be free day by day.

The two rode out of the city in the dark. On a winter night, Shen Tuchan was dressed in white, and Princess Baoqing was dressed in red, like ice and fire chasing under the moonlight.

The guards watching the city gate looked nervously at the young master who was standing beside him. The young master of the North Marquis Mansion in the town was originally just here to meet an acquaintance who used to be in Jingduwei.

Unexpectedly, he stopped suddenly at the gate of the city, following the eyes of the young master, he saw that Princess Baoqing and a woman in white were riding out of the city.

The servant of Shentu Danlin next to him stepped forward and said softly: "Master Hou, do you want to send someone to look after Miss?"

"Need not."

The sound of horseshoes kicked up heavy smoke and dust on the ground, Shen Tuchan gradually pushed Princess Baoqing farther and farther, and Princess Baoqing's attendants and Xiao Man were also left behind.

The moonlight on the hillside was gradually shrouded in clouds and mist, Shen Tuchan pulled the rein to stop the horse, and she stretched out her hand.

Snowing.
