Calculate the pros and cons, calculate the gains and losses, look at the practical situation, think about the future, analyze the situation, and know the advance and retreat.
This was the thought that came to Sheng Ran's mind when she realized that she was likely to marry the second prince, who was an acquaintance.
At that moment, an abacus seemed to pop up in her mind, and the beads on the abacus started to crackle without waiting for her to react.
The reaction and expression of maximizing interests automatically emerged after she took a step back.
At that moment, Sheng Ran felt as if she was... not herself anymore.
Just like, the appearance, speech, behavior, demeanor, charm, and thinking of the person in front of me are still the same, but he is only the second prince, but he is no longer Xie Yuan.
Sheng An picked up her pen and slowly wrote down the topic she had debated with Xie Yuan, one stroke at a time.
The writing is steady and the mood is calm.
She hadn't cried in the past two days, but she seemed to have cried away all the unnecessary and inexplicable emotions.
"Hey, what's so wrong? It's inexplicable!" Sheng Ran looked at the whole piece of paper with the title written on it, and suddenly laughed, folded the paper slowly, and then put it in the pen wash basin, watching the handwriting gradually fade. Mixed with pen-washing water, he couldn't help but laugh.
Some emotions and thoughts are like the moon in the water and flowers in the mirror in front of the royal family.
It's not right or wrong, it can't be done.
"Thunder, rain, and dew are all your kindness. How can I feel wronged and unwilling to accept it?" After muttering to herself for a moment, Sheng Ran stood up, took out the box, and took down the books that had been placed on the bookshelf not long ago, one by one. Smooth out the pages one by one, and then stack them neatly and put them in.
The examination question book was blocked by the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Four Books and Five Classics were blocked by handwriting. Layer by layer, volume by volume, finally there were volumes such as "An Examination of the Imperial Examination", "Anecdotes of the Imperial Examination", and "The Origin of the Imperial Examination".
Sheng Ran stared at the title of the book for a moment, and was about to close the box when her wrist suddenly stopped.
She quickly pulled out the Four Books and Five Classics at a speed that she didn't even expect and put them on top.
Then, without any further hesitation, she quickly closed the cage.
It wasn't until the heavy box was locked that Sheng An seemed to have been drained of all her strength, and she fell on the couch in despair and powerlessness.
"Sister An, have you ever heard of a casino? Everyone who marries into the royal family, whether they are happy or not, is a gambler at the table. People often say that small gambling is good for pleasure and big gambling is harmful to the body. But in the royal family How much can you control on this gambling board? In the royal family, you can have feelings, but you cannot have love; the former can make you less painful at the gambling table, but the latter requires you to put all your bets..."
Sheng Ran's eyes became clearer as she thought about what Empress Dowager Qin said before she left.
Can pick it up and put it down!
She holds anthracene, no problem!
…
Sheng Yuan thought about it, but the next day she went to Chuxiu Palace to find her sister as if nothing had happened.
Seeing the little girl who had no grudges at all, Sheng An didn't know whether to feel relieved or speechless.
It cannot but be said that they are indeed biological sisters, and their behaviors are really consistent like ostriches learning from each other.
It's just that the two of them ignored the possible marriage proposal, but the marriage partner came up on their own.
"Sister Yuan!"
As soon as she stepped out of Chuxiu Palace, Sheng Yuan was stopped by the second prince.
Hey!
Sheng Yuan raised his eyes and looked over.
She saw the handsome and elegant second prince smiling and waving to her.
Tsk tsk, look at those passionate peach blossom eyes and that heroic high nose! It really makes people have the urge to punch and add color!
Imagining the colored peach blossom eyes and the flat bridge of the nose that changed from high latitude to low latitude, Sheng Yuan's smile was much brighter.
"Are you looking for Brother Yu?" Sheng Yuan saluted and said hello, pointing to the archery range and said, "The emperor thinks his grades are not good enough, so he asked Master Wu to take him to practice more!"
"Oh, no, I'm here to find you." The second prince smiled and took out a letter, "Can you please help Sister Yuan to deliver it to your sister?"
"Second Prince!" Sheng Yuan did not expect that this person was thicker-skinned than her, so she immediately took it seriously and said righteously, "The people who live in the Chuxiu Palace are beautiful girls! Before leaving the palace, the last time was before the fourth level of assessment. , except for the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the head of the harem, no one else can give or receive privately from a beautiful lady!"
"Sister Yuan, can we stop pretending?" The second prince seemed to be amused by Sheng Yuan's performance, "Brother Yu has been unable to hold back his words in front of you since he was a child. Since he saw me and Sister Ling before, When we talk, I will definitely talk to you and listen."
"What if I said it? So what if I didn't?" It was impossible for Shengyuan to deliver the letter for him.
As long as the imperial edict granting marriage has not been issued, the marriage contract between him and her sister will not exist.
Think she is stupid! Pushing my sister out without even hearing a single accurate message?
Beautiful thought!
"..." The second prince saw Sheng Yuan's fighting spirit for the first time. He was very sure that as long as he gave him a chance, this girl would be able to punch her.
The second prince, who did not want to become a talker like his third brother, silently put away the envelope and settled for the next best thing: "Then can you help me with a message?"
"When Lady Yilan Palace summons my sister, please ask the eldest princess to help spread the message!"
Sheng Yuan shook his head firmly.
The eldest princess is the biological sister of the second prince. It is better for them to rely on each other than to ask her for help.
"...Okay, no help? Well, I have to read it to you." The second prince nodded and motioned to the palace maid he brought to block the road.
He looked at Sheng Yuan who was surrounded, and at the moment when she was shocked, he spoke quickly: "The day before yesterday, my sister and I talked about [the mountains have trees and the trees have branches], and she replied [the phoenix meets the group of phoenixes dancing like weaving]; At that time, she didn’t give me a chance to follow the next sentence, so I just wrote one sentence [clear howl spreads its wings and follows the shadow of the wild geese] to express my feelings, hoping that she would close it and respond to me with this half sentence.”
"!!!" Sheng Yuan's mouth opened in shock.
rogue! This was the first time she saw a gangster in the palace!
What’s even more frightening is that after listening to this guy’s words, it seems like he can’t pull it out!
"Sister Yuan, if I remember correctly, you have a very good memory, especially if you can remember the words you just heard once. Now that I have told you, it is your problem whether you want to tell Sister Ling or not. If you can bear not to say anything...I will express my feelings to your sister later."
The second prince looked at Sheng Yuan with a smile, waved his hand and asked the palace maids and servants to disperse, and then led the people away!
He actually walked away without any burden!
no! Come back to me! hateful!
Sheng Yuan almost asked the other party to stay.
He walked away without incident, but the poem she heard in her ears took root!
I can’t forget it even if I want to!
How despicable!
Meat eaters are despicable!
Sheng Yuan was so angry that she almost spiraled.
It wasn't until the soles of her feet were almost worn out by pacing that Sheng Yuan reluctantly walked back to Chuxiu Palace.
snort! She is not compromising!
She is looking for her sister to share! Share the shamelessness of two idiots!
"Sister! Sister! I'm back again!"
Sheng An, who practices Chinese calligraphy and has a pure heart: "..."
