There were lights and shadows in the hall, and Zhang Chengru's face looked more and more desperate under the flickering light and shadow.
The scene he just saw lingered in his mind all night, and he couldn't get it out of his mind. Although he has disliked Shen Que over the years, in his opinion, the two of them get along very harmoniously. They work on their own business without interfering with each other. Zhang Chengru feels that he has given Shen Que the greatest freedom and honor. She goes there every day. He never said anything when looking at her shops. Did this actually encourage her uncleanness?
As a business girl, if she had not married him, how could she have the status and dignity she has today? Unexpectedly, Shen Que, who looks soft and silent on the outside, is restless in his heart.
I really can't bear this tone.
Looking at his colleagues who were dispersing at this moment, Zhang Chengru took a deep breath. He wanted to see what Shen Que was going to do. As for Zhou Xueying, she had always been well-behaved and sensible, and would not do anything rude or reckless, so there was no need for him to worry.
The candle lights behind him went out, Zhang Chengru picked up his robe, strode out of the hall and chased after Shen Que.
Under the moonlight, Li Luansong walked straight to the back hall, which was on the other side of the lotus pond in the Imperial Garden. It was relatively quiet. He was familiar with the road. Shen Que would definitely go there to change clothes and rest at this time. He wanted to see how she was doing. .
Unexpectedly, before I could even speed up my pace, Zhang Chengru’s voice sounded from behind me:
"Shen Que, stop."
Li Luansong stopped and turned around to glare at him. The moonlight fell from above his head, and his face looked quite ferocious.
"Why are you following me?"
"Aren't you going to Chugong? What are you doing here?"
Zhang Chengru jogged for a few steps before catching up to him. He was slightly out of breath. Why didn't he notice that Shen Que was so fast before?
"Don't follow me." Li Luansong ignored him and turned to leave, but Zhang Chengru grabbed the thin shirt. He exerted some strength, and the silky spring shirt slipped from Li Luansong's shoulders along his hands, revealing a round and full body. The little fragrant shoulder.
Zhang Chengru was startled. Under the moonlight, her skin was as white as porcelain. If you look closely, her every frown and every fury look very charming.
Are you going to see your lover going crazy? Zhang Chengru was even more angry.
Li Luansong shook off Zhang Chengru's hand, pulled back his clothes, and said angrily: "Don't do anything. If you follow me again, I will beat you."
"Shen Que." Zhang Chengru said angrily: "I am your husband, can't I even ask you where you are going? This is the palace, and if you make a wrong step on your errand, your whole family will be buried with you."
You are a coward, Li Luansong thought to himself, the old man is afraid of being like this, it is not a coward.
He snorted coldly and said with a smile: "You deserve to be buried with me. Who asked you to marry me in the first place? You will have to pay the price for coveting other people's money and having an impure mind."
"You..." Zhang Chengru was so angry that his veins bulged, and he was speechless for a moment.
"If I had known today, why would I have to go home and pick up the coffin boards?" After saying this, Li Luansong walked away.
"Shen Que." Zhang Chengru's voice behind him revealed a hint of despair, "Why have you become like this now? You used to be so virtuous and virtuous."
"Bah." Li Luansong paused, "Zhang Chengru, are you worthy of Shen Que's virtuous virtues? Don't you know what you and your family have done in these years?"
Under the moonlight, the surroundings were dark, and Zhang Chengru looked very depressed.
Isn't it decadent? You can't beat me even if you fight, and you can't win even if you scold me.
"I know that you have been wronged over the years. You only have the name of husband and wife with me but no real life as husband and wife. But Shen Que, you can't blame me for this. I told you about the matter between Xueying and me a long time ago. .”
"Now, it's my fault, but..." He paused and said angrily: "Shen Que, if you want a real couple, I can do it, but you can't expect my feelings for you. Please also observe your womanly ethics and stop doing those...those things."
Listen, is this what people say?
Li Luansong should have been angry, but he smelled a different flavor in these words.
No wonder Shen Que has no children. Her two sisters-in-law got married later than she did, and now their children are several years old. It turns out that it was like this. She actually endured such humiliation for three years.
His heart seemed to be tied with a thread, and someone suddenly stabbed him, causing a throbbing pain.
Li Luansong's mind was a little confused at the moment. On the one hand, he felt that Shen was pitiful and aggrieved, but on the other hand, he was a little happy.
Too lazy to pay attention to him, Li Luansong turned around and left. Unexpectedly, Zhang Chengru followed closely behind him and kept mumbling:
"Shen Que, this is my greatest sincerity. Don't be disrespectful."
"Shen Que, you...wait for me."
"Shen...Okay, I'll call you madam."
…
*
As for Shen Que, after dancing, he took advantage of the opportunity when everyone dispersed and ran out of the door as if running away. Father-in-law Shi followed behind and chased him desperately: "Your Highness, where are you going?"
"Change, hot, don't follow me."
"Your Highness, you are changing here. In the back hall, I will wait for you..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Que had already disappeared.
After quickly changing his clothes and coming out of the back hall, Shen Que thought about seeing Li Luansong again, but he felt a little embarrassed just now and had to apologize to him in person. After all, it was his face that was being lost.
But as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, Shen Que took a breath of cold air.
In front of the back hall is a peach grove, which is already bearing fruits at this time. Under the moonlight, the peaches are fresh and plump. However, under almost every peach tree there is a young lady with different expressions and powerful powers.
The one on the left had a sprained foot, delicately rubbing her slender and white ankles, looking at her pitifully; the one on the right had lost her hairpin, and was leaning over to look for it, when her beautiful breasts unintentionally appeared, but she didn't return it. She looked ignorant and naive; the one in front had obviously already taken a pose, and her ninety-eight-foot-long figure was actually more twisted than this peach branch; there was another one behind, Geng Meng Lang, who simply pretended to be blind and bumped into her, running away. He was dripping with sweat, as if he had been chased away by a dog. The soft spot clung tightly to his arm, and he couldn't push it away...
"Your Highness" was heard from the left and "Prince" was heard from the right. It was as if he had accidentally stepped into the silk cave at this late night, which was extremely scary.
I have to say, today’s little ladies are very resourceful.
Shen Que sighed, it was really an eye-opener.
Just imagine what it would be like if that grumpy Highness had attended this scene in person. I'm afraid he would have said, "Get out of here and get rid of them all."
Well, it's something he can do, Shen Que thought and laughed out loud.
"May."
Shen Que shouted loudly, and a black shadow fell on the eaves. He drove the young ladies out with three strokes.
Wuyue was Li Luansong's bodyguard, accompanying him on his expeditions to the east and west. Although he was young, he was extremely skilled. He accompanied him to train his soldiers and protect his safety.
"Go and do your work."
Shen Que gave an order and Wu Yue became invisible.
This is what Li Luansong told her when they met just now. Now that she is like this, he is very worried about her safety.
"Big brother."
A familiar voice sounded from behind, it was Princess Li Le and the consort Zhang Chengye.
Shen Que remembered Li Luansong's words that he had a very good relationship with this little girl, so he looked at Li Le with loving eyes:
"Xiao Le loved to read story books when he was a child. In recent years, my eldest brother has been away fighting, and no one has supplied supplies to us, Xiao Le."
Li Le smiled proudly and said that he couldn't do it, "The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family gave me a lot, including a collector's edition."
"Oh, then I have to thank that lady very much." Shen Que said with a smile: "It seems that wherever Xiao Le goes, there are people who care about her, so I feel relieved."
When he said this, he looked at Zhang Chengye, the fourth master of the Zhang family, who was considered a breath of fresh air in the Zhang family. The eldest son was the most submissive and selfish; the second son almost never spoke and was like a mute; the third son was just like his wife. Those who love to work have too many selfish interests; only the fourth child only cares about his wife and rarely participates in trivial matters at home. The couple is extremely affectionate.
"Xiao Le, there is a very good cook in the eldest brother's house. She can make a lot of desserts and cakes. From now on, Xiao Le will come to eldest brother's place often when she has time. Brother misses you."
Shen Que followed Li Luansong's instructions and dropped the topic. As expected, Her Royal Highness was very happy, and she immediately agreed to come and taste the food in two days.
The three chatted for a few words, and then the couple said goodbye and left. Shen Que walked in the opposite direction, but he didn't notice that behind him, Zhang Chengye's deep eyes were fixed on her for a long time.
The clear moonlight shines down, illuminating the stone path in a winding and interesting way, with mottled light and dark, as if you have entered a secret jungle.
Shen Que hadn't felt this way for a long time. It was when he and his father went up the mountain to collect herbs when he was a child. Every night, they would step on the path under the moonlight like this. The father and daughter talked and walked slowly. Go back.
The good things in the past all stayed when A Niang was still alive, and that was the happiest time in her life.
Later, when my mother-in-law passed away, my father remarried and married a lady from an official family. However, her stepmother was not very friendly to Shen Que. However, seeing that she still loved her father, Shen Que tolerated it.
After all, it is a palace, Shen Zhe couldn't help but sigh, despite the splendor and extravagance that can be seen everywhere, this interesting little scene is still there.
She slightly lifted the front of her brocade robe and stepped on the pebbles. The soles of her feet were numb and itchy from the pebbles of different shapes. The sour feeling was very comfortable.
Turning out was the royal road to the imperial garden. Shen Que suddenly looked up and saw a woman with a graceful figure. Her open collar almost slipped from her shoulders. She stood there with a charming smile on her face, smiling at him. A salute: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin."
It’s Zhou Xueying.
Shen Que couldn't help but look around, but didn't see Zhang Chengru.
Seeing her doubts, Zhou Xueying took the initiative to talk: "My little girl Zhou Xueying was originally the daughter of Zhou Congwang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Due to family changes, she is now living alone in the world. I offend His Highness. I hope Your Highness will not be blamed."
Shen Que didn't answer, but quietly took two steps back by taking advantage of the wrong step.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhou Xueying was a little anxious, and simply said: "I have admired His Highness for a long time. Today I have the courage to meet His Highness just to see his true appearance. If I can get some pity from His Highness, I will be very happy."
Oh, I understand, this is taking the initiative to throw myself into my arms.
Shen Que couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhang Chengru. After all, he knew people and faces but didn't know his heart.
Seeing that she was still silent, Zhou Xueying boldly stepped forward, just one body away from Shen Que, and called her: "Your Highness... I am sincere, Your Highness..."
"Zhou Xueying."
Shen Que interrupted her.
"My daughter is here."
Shen Que glanced at her clothes that were about to fall off and said:
"Zhou Congwang committed the serious crime of embezzling project funds. How dare you be so shameless?"
Zhou Xueying was stunned and saw tears slowly overflowing from those peach blossom eyes.
Shen Que added: "You want to say that the crime was committed by your father and has nothing to do with you. Then, you and Zhang Chengru were engaged since childhood. After he married another woman, they were still entangled and in love with each other. Now they are still together. What’s the point of coming to express your love to this king?”
