After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 186 Chapter 186

Shen Qingci's heart was in his throat.

She was tense all the time.

I never thought that Sheng Tingye's words about sleeping well were really just literal meaning.

Fearing that Sheng Tingye would say something astonishing and disturb her mind again, Shen Qingci didn't dare to ask more.

After the two washed up separately, they lay back on the couch.

Thanks to the fact that the bed was big enough, the two of them covered each other with a quilt.

Shen Qingci was sleeping inside, wishing he could stick his whole body to the wall.

At first, she was still a little nervous and uneasy, after all, it was the first time she slept with a man in the same bed as she grew up.

But after Sheng Tingye waved his hand, turned off the light, closed his eyes after covering the quilt, and heard his gradually steady breathing, Shen Qingci finally let go of his holding heart.

She thought it was difficult for her to fall asleep, but she never thought that she slept very peacefully this time.

She was so stable that when she opened her eyes again, there was nothing around her, and Sheng Tingye had already gone to work.

Shen Qingci stretched his waist, looked at the place next to him, and for a moment, he even felt that such a day was not bad.

It was the same for the next few days.

Shen Qingci had just taken over the general affairs of the palace, even though there was the Zhou family helping him, he knew that he had to be clear so that he would not be fooled by the people below.

Sheng Tingye's support for her was only for a while, and whether she could hold her back in the future depended on her own ability.

Therefore, during the first period of time, she was so busy that she almost didn't have time to eat lunch.

And Sheng Tingye went out early in the morning to be on duty at the Xiaoqi Camp, and came back in the evening against the wind and snow.

Shen Qingci knew that he was coming back, so she would wait for him for a while, or leave a light for him.

After a busy day, she fell asleep right away.

The two of them were busy with their own business, although they slept on the same bed, the time they spent communicating was pitifully small, but they were still harmonious.

Shen Qingci had nothing to dislike.

However, in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the palace banquet.

Although the banquet was scheduled for the evening, because it was hosted by the empress, according to the rules, her daughter-in-law had to enter the palace early in the morning to help.

Sheng Tingye still had something to do in the Xiaoqi camp, so he didn't come back. When he left early in the morning, he left a message - he would enter the palace later.

He originally intended to let Shen Qingci wait for him.

But Shen Qingci was thinking about Qin Jiaojiao.

In the past few days, the news of the engagement of the daughter of the general's mansion with Saburo of the Yao family has spread widely.

Of course, there is the result of the Qin family contributing to the flames.

The purpose was to make the trouble known to everyone, so that the royal family would not be ashamed to interfere with Qin Jiaojiao's marriage.

However, Shen Qingci was also afraid that Qin Jiaojiao would be bored by herself, and she was too busy these days to take care of Qin Jiaojiao, so now she was taking this opportunity to have a good talk with her.

So, when Sheng Tingye hurriedly finished the work at hand, and returned to the mansion to pick up Shen Qingci and enter the palace together, he found that this heartless woman had already taken a carriage to the mansion of General Qin, Entered the palace with Qin Jiaojiao.

Sheng Tingye just stepped into the mansion, and when he heard the news, he immediately stopped.

Because of embarrassment, Sheng Tingye only said to go back to the study to get things.

Jiang He, who hadn't understood the master's intentions yet, said, "Master, if you leave something behind, you can just send someone back to get it. Why do you need to make this trip yourself and delay the time to enter the palace?"

Sheng Tingye glanced at him, didn't say anything, just entered the study with a calm face, took a booklet on the desk, turned and left.

Jiang He was confused, and turned to look at Qing Yun who was following Sheng Tingye with questioning eyes.

He didn't understand, but it was just an ordinary treatise, and it was worth rushing back from the master?
Could it be that there is something in this book that will be of great use to tonight's banquet?

Qingyun blinked, and when Sheng Tingye left the yard, he came to Jiang He's ear in a mysterious manner, and said in a low voice, "You, I didn't realize that, why did the master come back to get the book?"

Obviously for someone.

Qingyun pointed.

Jiang He instantly understood.

At this moment, he is very grateful that he has always been fair in dealing with people, and he did not follow the Zhou family to praise the princess, otherwise...

So far, Jiang He has become more and more respectful to Shen Qingci.

Of course, Shen Qingci didn't know the reason for this.

Right now, she is drinking tea with Qin Jiaojiao in Yunbi's palace.

For this night banquet, almost all the officials of the fourth rank and above were invited along with their family members.

What the palace meant was that the two princes got married before, but because Sheng Tingye was unwell, there was no banquet in the palace.

This time, the right was made up, and it happened to allow the two princesses to show their faces in front of others.

As the person in charge, the queen is naturally busy.

In addition to those common affairs that need to be decided, batch after batch of female relatives have to be summoned, of course Shen Qingci can't be taken care of.

So, after Shen Qingci and Qin Jiaojiao greeted each other, they went to drink tea with Yun Bin's invitation.

The queen didn't respond either.

Yunpin lived in Qinghe Palace, not far from the Imperial Garden.

In this harem, apart from the Queen, Concubine Zhang Gui, Concubine Yao Shu, and Concubine Yun, there are only a few talents and promises, and the total is no more than twenty.

Compared with the previous generations of kings, today's saints can be regarded as "pure-hearted and ascetic".

Compared with the queens and others from the four major families, Yunpin's birth is not considered prominent. She is the daughter of the former lieutenant general of Xiaoqiying, and was selected into the harem after winning the favor of a saint.

Not honored, but never left out.

In addition, there is a six-year-old Ninth Prince Sheng Tingyi under her knee, so her position is considered very stable.

Since Mrs. Qin from the General's Mansion is a handkerchief acquaintance, it is natural to take special care of Qin Jiaojiao.

Before Qin Jiaojiao was called into the palace by the empress, it was Concubine Yun who went to rescue Qin Jiaojiao.

Today is certainly no exception.

It's rare for Mrs. Qin to go back to the capital, so the two of them have a lot to say when they get together.

Instead, she left Shen Qingci and Qin Jiaojiao aside.

When it came to getting up, they even felt that the two of them were an eyesore, so they sent them out to play with the Ninth Prince Sheng Tingyi.

Today's Imperial Garden is the busiest.

Most of the ladies and wives who were invited into the palace enjoyed flowers, drank tea and recited poems in the imperial garden.

Qin Jiaojiao hated their sour manners and noise the most, so she and Shen Qingci took Sheng Tingyi's hand from left to right, turned around and went to the quieter Chuxiu Palace.

The Saints haven't drafted in years.

This Chuxiu Palace has long been idle.

But the scenery inside is good.

Especially there is a lotus pond there, and a covered bridge connects the lake pavilion, which is the most quiet and secluded.

It's a good place to hide and relax.

In private, Qin Jiaojiao didn't have the slightest air of being a noble daughter from a family.

She raised her hand to push away the snow on the railing, tapped her toes, turned over and sat up with her feet crossed.

"A Ci, you come too, the scenery here is the best."

As she said that, she glanced at Sheng Tingyi: "Little Jiu, go play by yourself, I'll talk to your third sister-in-law for a while."

Sheng Tingyi, who was only six years old, was a little one, wearing a thick jacket, and his little face, carved in powder and jade, was flushed from the cold, like a glutinous rice dumpling coming out of a New Year painting.

Ever since he met Shen Qingci for the first time, he liked this third sister-in-law very much.

So, along the way, he didn't even let the nurse beside him touch him, but held Shen Qingci's hand and never let go.

"I don't want it, Xiao Jiu wants to play with the third sister-in-law."

Qin Jiaojiao let out a snort, and laughed: "Little guy without a conscience, with the third sister-in-law, even Sister Gillian won't listen to her."

Sheng Tingyi shrank behind Shen Qingci subconsciously, raised his palm-sized face and looked at Qin Jiaojiao: "Sister-in-law San won't pull Xiaojiu's ears."

These words made Shen Qingci amused, she smiled and looked at Qin Jiaojiao: "You can handle such a cute child?"

Qin Jiaojiao snorted, "It's so small, it's fun to be bullied."

"Wait a few more years..."

Having said that, she prolonged the end, and looked not far away, with a taste of playfulness: "I have to bully others."

"We met, we still have to salute."

Shen Qingci didn't know what she meant until she followed Qin Jiaojiao's gaze and turned her head to look.

When I looked up, I saw a man wearing a snow-white fox fur.

Shen Qingci could feel that noble aura that strangers should not get close to.

The moment she saw his face clearly, Shen Qingci was startled suddenly.

It was him.

On Xuesongpo that day, she met a young man on the way to escape Sheng Tingye's pursuit.

At that time, he was trapped in a trap, and Shen Qingci helped him out.

She also listened to his remarks that made her skin crawl all over - his zodiac sign is a rabbit, so he can't eat rabbits.

At that time, she regarded Sheng Tingye as Lin Yue.

Seeing that the young man had somewhat similar appearance to "Lin Yue", and hearing that he claimed to be Lin Yue's younger brother, Shen Qingci still regarded him as a child of the Lin family.

Now it seems that the two brothers are better at making up and hiding their identities than the other.

At that time, it was just a face-to-face meeting, which was not considered a deep friendship.

Later, when she found out Sheng Tingye's real identity, Shen Qingci didn't even think about it.

Only now, after seeing him, did Shen Qingci realize that he was also a prince.

The one who complained in front of Qin Jiaojiao before contacting her again - the rabbit master.

Shen Qingci was slightly startled.

It couldn't be such a coincidence, this is the brother of Sheng Tingye's mother and compatriot, the fifth prince Sheng Tingzhao, right?

Soon Qin Jiaojiao proved this to her.

She raised her chin and snorted nonchalantly, "Did you see that, back then, before I went to Nanjing Pass, that Fifth Highness was still a slug following me."

"I didn't expect it, but now the shelf is up, and..."

Moreover, his mother still wanted her to be his concubine.

Even if this person has grown up, born like a tree, handsome and extraordinary, in Qin Jiaojiao's eyes, he is still the same slug and follower.

So, thinking of this, Qin Jiaojiao's goose bumps all over her body.

"A Ci?"

After complaining in one breath, Qin Jiaojiao realized that Shen Qingci didn't listen to her much.

She was about to call Shen Qingci, but Shen Qingci turned her head and said with a bit of embarrassment: "A-Jiao, that Fifth Highness seems to be here."
