After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Shen Mengli lowered her head shyly, "His Royal Highness the eldest princess praised you."

"I heard from the palace that you have a good relationship with the daughters of the imperial capital. Presumably, you know their character better."

"So, let you come over and help me choose."

Shen Mengli was ecstatic. He originally thought of using some means to get close to Her Royal Highness Princess Dachang on purpose, so as to win Her Royal Highness Princess Dachang's love, but he didn't expect that with Shen Shengge as a foil, he didn't need to waste his thoughts at all, and directly won the favor of Her Royal Highness Princess Dachang. .

How could she fail to see that His Highness the Eldest Princess was testing her?
But due to the reservedness of her daughter's family, she couldn't show it too obviously.So, next, she patiently introduced the character of the woman in the painting to His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess. Although she didn't deliberately belittle it, she didn't praise it too much, and just went to the end.

Not only did she maintain her gentle and generous image, but she also didn't want His Royal Highness to take a fancy to other daughters.

"Hey, I see that the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has good conditions in all aspects, and I like it very much. But let her marry into the general's mansion. After all, she cannot be the official wife. Can she agree?" Xiao Yuanyu frowned slightly worried on purpose road.

"That's all. Although Chen'er is outstanding, but after all, the family has..." Evil Wife.

"Shen Shengge's temperament is something that ordinary people can't mess with. Marrying into the general's mansion, isn't it a crime?" Xiao Yuanyu paused again, and said dejectedly: "No one is willing to marry Chen'er as a concubine, so forget it and just be your own concubine." Gong has never mentioned this matter today."

When Shen Mengli heard this, he became anxious, and blurted out, "Why not? General Chu is outstanding, brave and good at fighting, he is a great hero of Qingyuan Kingdom, and there is a long queue of wealthy families who want to marry her."

"His Royal Highness, don't worry, there must be someone who is willing to marry General Chu." Shen Mengli vowed.

Xiao Yuanyu worried again: "But, who is willing to marry into the mansion as a concubine? Maybe they are often bullied and suppressed by Shen Shengge."

"What's wrong with being a concubine? If you can stay by the side of General Chu, whom you have admired for a long time, you will be nameless and worthless—"

"Many people are happy with it." Besides, Shen Shengge had been wearing the dzi bead bracelet with hidden child-repellent medicine for so long, which had already hurt her body and made her infertile.

A barren wife will sooner or later be rejected by her husband and divorced.Then, this concubine of myself will sooner or later become a regular wife.

"If you say that, I will feel at ease." Xiao Yuanyu paused, "In a few days, I will hold a poetry meeting, inviting all the famous daughters of the emperor, and you will come to help me as a consultant. "

"If there is someone Chen'er likes, I will definitely find a way to marry her into the house."

"Here."

"It's just that, as Shen Shengge's own sister, asking you to help me with this matter, will it affect the relationship between you and your eldest sister? Make it difficult for you?"

"His Royal Highness, don't worry. Since ancient times, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. If there is no Mengli, Her Royal Highness will also choose a concubine for General Chu. Mengli helps His Royal Highness choose a concubine, which can be regarded as helping the elder. Sister." There was no close relationship between me and her.

Shen Mengli left the General's Mansion ecstatically, until he returned to the Shen Mansion, the smile on his mouth still remained undiminished.Sitting in front of the exquisite bronze mirror, she admired her beautiful face.

"This time, I must be the one who attracts everyone's attention, so that you can see me."

Moon Pavilion.

The sky is not yet clear, I turned my head and looked out the window, the moon has not yet set.

Su Wunian suddenly opened her eyes. She was awakened by a nightmare. In the dream, she was hysterically calling the names of her father and brothers, but they were struggling to kill the enemy in the bloody battlefield, and they couldn't hear them at all. .

On the way back to the imperial capital, her eldest brother lost a leg and lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.She was weak and dragged her unconscious elder brother to seek medical treatment, but fainted halfway due to exhaustion.

That time, she felt that Xiao Yuanxun was taking care of her in a coma, because of the familiar yet unfamiliar force of wiping, but when she opened her eyes, she saw a masked mysterious boy.

She only remembered his eyes, which were so pure and free of distracting thoughts, they were amazing.

"You're having a nightmare." The first words he spoke.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes overflowed and flowed down silently.

He handed her a black sachet. To be precise, it was a piece of black cloth wrapped in vanilla, which exuded a faint fragrance, which smelled very good. "Take this with you, it will prevent mosquitoes, and it will have a calming effect."

At first glance, he tore a piece of cloth from the clothes on his body and wrapped it now.

"Who are you?!" Su Wunian was terrified of being hunted down, and when he saw the man in black who was kind to him, he was also very vigilant, "Where is my elder brother?"

"He's outside, the bleeding has stopped."

This is a cave, Su Wunian turned over and got up, rushed outside, and saw the elder brother who was not bleeding anymore, breathing evenly, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for saving my life." Su Wunian let go of his guard against the mysterious boy, no matter who he is, why didn't he show his true colors to others, Su Wunian was not entangled anymore.

It wasn't until he died that Su Wunian took off his veil under the acacia tree outside the city.He was very good-looking, and even though the blood from the corner of his mouth couldn't stop flowing out, he could still see his flawless skin.There is a bit of heroism and dignity in his eyebrows and eyes, but along the way he feels that he should be a professional killer who has undergone cruel training since he was a child.

And those relieved eyes full of smiles amazed Su Wunian in the years to come.

She had never seen such pure and touching eyes again, and Su Wunian never understood that when he faced death, he was so relieved, as if his wish had been fulfilled.

"You're having a nightmare." Chu Muchen's familiar and gentle voice came from the side of his ear, pulling Su Wunian back from his memory to reality.

Su Wunian didn't expect to wake up Chu Muchen who was sleeping next to her. She turned her face to meet Chu Muchen's peach blossom eyes. In a daze, she seemed to see those amazing eyes, and then saw the mysterious pair of eyes. juvenile.

The same words, the same expression, but two completely different faces.

Chu Muchen didn't know when there was an extra handkerchief in his hand, and he squeezed it in his palm, gently wiped the sweat from Su Wunian's forehead, and said softly, "You put your hand on your heart, it's easy to have nightmares."

"Tomorrow, let Zhujian make tea with some Albizia julibrissin, drinking it will have a calming effect." He took Su Wunian's hand and wiped the cold sweat from her palm.

He didn't ask her what kind of nightmare she had, but turned over and went to the cabinet to take out a spice and added it to the incense burner.

"Do you like to read tales of strange stories?" Su Wunian asked.

"Occasionally, I'm bored. I've read a few books. What's the matter?" Chu Muchen covered the hollowed-out gold-carved incense burner cover, and returned to the bed. His slender feet rested straight on the bed, and the other foot was bent at will.With one hand under his head, leaning against the strings of the bed, the other hand rests on his bent knee, tapping his fingers one by one.

Turning his head to Su Wunian and smiling gently, "If you want to read it, I'll accompany you to pick out a few books by yourself after the court tomorrow."
