Lord, the princess is beautiful and fierce

Chapter 657 Am I Getting Old?
Chapter 657 Am I Getting Old?
Xiao Shen was preparing for dinner, and his dinner was very simple, a plate of dim sum, some side dishes, and a bowl of fish porridge. Xiao Shen was getting old and had trouble digesting recently, so he liked to eat something soft at night.

He picked up his chopsticks and glanced at his food, and couldn't help but sigh: "Everyone says it's good to be an emperor, but how good is it? Isn't it a desolate person eating pickles and porridge?" ?”

Desheng wanted to roll his eyes, thinking that this porridge is the best cod porridge, not to mention the fish, the rice alone is worth a lot of money, not to mention that your Majesty is sitting on a golden dragon chair, holding silver chopsticks, eating There is nothing to be wronged about a good cod porridge, but there is some desolation. For so many years, Xiao Shen almost always eats alone. When he was young, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but when he got older, he was inevitably lonely.

"Your Majesty, eat it while it's hot, it'll be cold in a while." Desheng said.

Xiao Shen picked up the bowl, took a sip, and said: "I remember when I was young, the queen used to cook porridge for me. The red beans were boiled soft and rotten. With a little sugar, it was sweet and glutinous. It was really delicious. Yes, the queen also said that I work hard day and night, and eating a bowl of red bean porridge at night is good for my health."

Desheng sighed, not knowing what to say.

"Is Concubine Su still honest?"

Xiao Shen asked suddenly.

Xiao Shen suddenly changed the subject, Desheng couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then said: "Honestly, Doctor Xiao Guo only visited once two days ago."

Xiao Shen put Wan down, his face suddenly darkened: "This old bastard is still dishonest."

Desheng didn't dare to show his anger, and he didn't understand why the good emperor mentioned Concubine Su.

Xiao Shen was silent for a while and said: "I really regret it."

Desheng probably knew what the emperor regretted. He had a good relationship with the empress back then, but after becoming the emperor, he was too tempted. After all, he was a man. After being complimented a few times, the emperor became a little flustered. He felt that it was okay to favor a few women. The few women separated the emperor and empress, and when something happened to the princess, the empress was completely divorced.

Xiao Shen has also regretted these years, but regret is useless after all, the empress has always refused to forgive him.

"If you don't forgive, you won't forgive. She will always stay with me in this palace. Even if she dies a hundred years later, she will be buried with me." Xiao Shen said angrily.

Desheng didn't answer.

Xiao Shen said again: "Tomorrow you go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to bring a message and tell him that if something happens to Zhuzhu, his son will not even want to live."

"Yes."

After Xiao Shen finished his unpleasant meal, he came outside to report that the Queen had arrived.

Xiao Shen's bad mood was swept away.

"Let the queen come in."

After Empress Wu came in, she saw the leftovers on the table and frowned slightly: "You just eat this?"

Seeing that Empress Wu cared about him, Xiao Shen nodded pitifully: "I'm getting old, and I always don't have much appetite recently."

Empress Wu was ruthless and ignored him, she just said: "The concubine has something to talk to His Majesty."

Xiao Shen knew that Empress Wu would not look for him if nothing happened.

He nodded: "When it's just the two of us, we don't need to call ourselves concubines."

Empress Wu looked up at him, she hadn't looked at Xiao Shen so closely for a long time, only then did she realize that the once handsome young man now had gray hair on his temples and fine lines around his eyes.

Seeing Empress Wu sizing him up, Xiao Shen touched his cheek: "Am I getting old?"

Empress Wu nodded: "I'm old too."

The two were silent.

Empress Wu was silent for a while, then raised her head and said, "I'm here to talk about Cheng'er's marriage."

Xiao Shen was startled: "Who?"

Empress Wu said: "The third child's marriage."

Xiao Shen looked confused: "Him? Who is he married to? How come I don't know?"

Empress Wu rolled her eyes and said in disgust, "What do you know?"

Xiao Shen said: "I've been busy recently, and there's always something I can't take care of. Which girl did Xiao Cheng fall in love with? Or who doesn't have a long eye for him? She's a piece of wood, very boring, whoever marries him Aren't you going to suffocate?"

Empress Wu said angrily: "Did you say that about your son? Isn't it because of you that he became like this?"

What does it matter to him?Xiao Yi was lively and mean-spirited, just too stingy.

Xiao Shen has a headache when he thinks of one, a dignified prince, did he lack food or clothing since he was a child?Just love money that much?
Could it be that the South Vietnamese royal family couldn't even marry a daughter-in-law?

Xiao Shen was very upset, Empress Wu glared at him, not bothering to quarrel with him: "It's Master Qin, Qin Yanjiu."

"she?"

Xiao Shen came back to his senses. It seemed that he had heard that Qin Yanjiu liked Xiao Cheng. At that time, Xiao Shen didn't take it seriously at all. He thought that Xiao Cheng should like the kind of gentle and kind, at least lively, while Qin Yanjiu liked Xiao Cheng. It belonged to the tough one, Xiao Shen also had a headache when thinking of Qin Yanjiu's aggressive appearance in the court hall.

Qin Yanjiu to be his daughter-in-law?
Xiao Shen asked: "What did Xiao Cheng say?"

"Zhuzhu said.

"What does she know about a daughter who has not left the cabinet?"

Xiao Shen's words completely annoyed Empress Wu.

Empress Wu stood up: "In your eyes, don't women have the right to speak?"

Xiao Shen shook his head: "No..."

"Then what do you mean? Mrs. Qin is straightforward and has a good character. I think she will be good as Princess Cheng,"

Xiao Shen said: "I didn't mean that, I mean, is this thing true? Why didn't Xiao Cheng say it himself?"

Empress Wu was taken aback for a moment, and she realized this time, yes, why didn't Xiao Cheng say it, let Zhuzhu do it?

Xiao Shen said: "Qing Lan, sit down first."

Empress Wu sat down, and Xiao Shencai said: "The news I got is that the third child was injured two days ago, and it was Qin Yanjiu who rescued him. I suspect that the third child wanted to repay Qin Yanjiu's life-saving grace with a promise of his own body. .”

Empress Wu "..."

The way she looked at Xiao Shen changed, what kind of nonsense did this old man say?
and many more……

Cheng'er was injured?When did this happen, why didn't she know?
Seeing Empress Wu's appearance, Xiao Shen knew that she didn't know anything, so he told about Xiao Cheng's injury.

"Don't worry, he's fine, just lie down for a few days and he'll be fine."

Empress Wu rolled her eyes: "What do you mean you will be fine after lying down for a few days? Your son doesn't feel bad, but I still feel bad."

Xiao Shen felt that what he said was wrong.

"I didn't mean that."

Empress Wu was thinking about Xiao Cheng, but she didn't know that Qin Yanjiu had saved Xiao Cheng's life, so it really made it easier for her to marry Qin Yanjiu sooner.

Empress Wu said: "I was dazzled by you, I came to discuss Cheng'er's marriage with you."

Xiao Shen: "Are you sure Xiao Cheng didn't make a promise with his body on impulse?"

He even suspected that it was Qin Yanjiu who threatened Xiao Cheng with the grace of saving his life and forced Xiao Cheng to marry her.

Xiao Shen was disgusted by Empress Wu again, Empress Wu said: "Are you finished?"

Xiao Shen: "..."

"I'm doing it for my son's sake..."

Empress Wu breathed a sigh of relief: "You are going to be a grandfather, if you don't want to, forget it."

grandfather?What grandfather?
Xiao Shen was stunned.

When facing Empress Wu, he will always be that childish young man.
