Shen Qiaoran has known Xiao Jue for many years and naturally knows his temperament, so he then said with concern: "You don't know, Xiao Qiao has been weak since she was a child, and she was in a coma for a long time. She rarely went out today, and she almost I suffered a great crime again.”
Then he said gratefully: "No matter what, I am very grateful for what happened today."
Seeing Shen Qiaoran's serious look, a similar little face appeared in front of Xiao Jue's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile lowly,
"You are really brothers and sisters."
Shen Qiaoran didn't know why, but still smiled and nodded,
"It's natural. Xiao Qiao and I are twins, a dragon and a phoenix. A vision came from the sky on the day we were born. The old people in the house said that it was a very good omen."
When this matter was mentioned, Shen Qiaoran immediately brightened up, but soon the light in his eyes dimmed.
"But luckily, I seem to be the only one. Xiao Qiao was born with many illnesses, and for so many years, no matter what methods he tried, he never got better. The imperial doctor said that Xiao Qiao was born with a weak disease."
"Sometimes I wonder if I robbed her of her blessing. Otherwise, why did I grow up to this day without any illness or disaster, while my sister would suffer so much..."
At the end, Shen Qiaoran's voice became lower and lower, and his expression became more depressed.
Simply because they were in a remote location at this time, no one else noticed them.
The young man in front of him was at the age where he could not tell the difference between male and female. He had red lips and white teeth, and was extremely handsome. He looked lonely at this moment, like a big dog that had been abandoned.
Xiao Jue suddenly remembered the Wanshou Festival a few years ago, which was the saddest and helpless moment in his life. Suddenly, a person found himself hiding in the corner, took his hand, and took him to the place where he was at that time. In Concubine Chen's palace.
There, he met Emperor Chongming and gained his love. He also got the opportunity to learn and practice martial arts with the princes.
Xiao Jue will always remember that the child was only six or seven years old at the time. He was thin and wearing a moon-white robe. He stood in the sun and stretched out a hand to himself who was hiding in the shadows.
In the palm of the porcelain white hand, there is a candy.
…
The child called Shen aunt, and had a face similar to the boy in front of her.
…
Xiao Jue's heart moved slightly as he looked at Shen Qiaoran's face and fell into deep thought.
Being stared at by Xiao Jue's intimidating eyes, Shen Qiaoran felt a rare discomfort, but she heard Xiao Jue suddenly say,
"I heard that most twins look similar, but I think you and Shen Si are not very similar."
Shen Qiaoran was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then replied: "It's okay, maybe it's because of the difference in gender."
After thinking for a while, he continued: "However, Xiao Qiao and I were very similar when we were young. I heard from my grandmother that we were occasionally dressed up in the same clothes when we were young. The Queen Mother and aunt in the palace would always prepare the same materials for us, and also It’s all double portions…”
Shen Qiaoran was still talking about the interesting childhood stories with Shen Qiaochen, but Xiao Jue was stunned for a rare moment.
Same outfit...
After being speechless for a moment, Xiao Jue closed his eyes and seemed to have figured out something in an instant.
When Shen Qiaoran said: "I don't know why, I have been going smoothly these past ten years. Every time I encounter trouble, it is always solved inexplicably before I can figure out a solution. Could it be that I am really the reincarnation of a lucky star? "
Xiao Jue had already sorted out his thoughts, and in the blink of an eye he was back to his undisciplined and lazy look.
Just looking at Shen Qiaoran's eyes, there was a little bit of indescribable expression.
Here Shen Qiaoran is lamenting life with his 'good brother' Xiao Jue.
On the other side, Shen Qiaochen had led people to the door of the side hall. Before entering, she turned back and smiled at the palace attendant behind her: "Sister, please go back first. The sixth princess and grandmother are inside. I can go in by myself." After that, she turned around He pushed open the palace door alone and walked in.
In the side hall of Qingliang Hall, Mrs. Shen has woken up and is leaning on the soft yellow rosewood couch. She is talking to the Sixth Princess sitting beside the couch with a faint smile. There is a palace lantern in the corner of the room. On the small table, green smoke is rising from the incense burner.
Hearing the sound at the door, the two looked over and saw Shen Qiaochen walking slowly from the darkness.
"Grandma, are you feeling better?" Shen Qiaochen quickly walked to the couch, held the hand extended by Mrs. Shen, and asked softly.
Seeing the obvious worry on her little granddaughter's porcelain-white face, Mrs. Shen gently patted Shen Qiao's cold little hand with her other hand, and comforted her: "I'm fine, just now... it was just emotional. I was excited for a moment, but now I’m feeling much better.”
The sixth princess sitting beside her also quickly said: "Cousin, don't worry, the imperial doctor came just now, and grandma is fine."
Seeing that Mrs. Shen's expression was calm and rosy, and no longer sick as before, Shen Qiaochen felt relieved and turned around to salute the Sixth Princess.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for accompanying my grandmother."
The sixth princess was very happy to see her cousin. She jumped down from her seat and waved her hand heroically.
"They are all members of our own family. There is no need to be polite to my cousin. This is also my grandmother."
Then he stepped forward and hugged Shen Qiaochen's arm, and said with a smile: "Cousin, you are so beautiful, even more beautiful than my mother said."
Shen Qiaochen teased her with a smile, "Really? Are you more beautiful than His Highness?"
The sixth princess was intoxicated by her cousin's smile, and said without thinking: "Of course, my cousin is much prettier than me... just as good-looking as my mother-in-law."
Then he added, "But my mother-in-law said that my cousin is still young now, but she will definitely be able to excel in the future."
"By the way, the mother concubine said, this is called 'a young phoenix has a clearer voice than an old phoenix'..." The sixth princess imitated Concubine Shen and shook her head.
"Sixth Princess!" Mrs. Shen suddenly interrupted her sharply.
The sixth princess was racking her brains to recall what her mother-in-law had said, when she was suddenly startled by Mrs. Shen and stood there stunned.
Shen Qiaochen was also shocked and looked at Mrs. Shen.
I saw my grandmother, who was always kind and kind to her younger generation, looking in his direction, as if she was stuck in some bad memory. His expression was very complicated at this moment. With a bit of reminiscence, a bit of resentment...
resentment? Shen Qiao felt a little strange. She had never seen her grandmother look like this.
Even in the previous life, when the Shen family was overthrown because of her stupid obsession, when she saw her grandmother for the last time, she never showed him the same, vaguely cruel eyes as she did now.
Shen Qiaochen felt that Mrs. Shen was not looking at him, but thinking of someone through her.
Everything that happened at the palace banquet today made Shen Qiaochen feel that there seemed to be a fog in front of him, vaguely, but it all seemed to be related to him.
The look in Emperor Chongming's eyes when he saw him, the sudden decision to establish the crown prince, and the loss of control of Concubine Shen and Mrs. Shen...all were beyond Shen Qiao and Shen's cognition.
In the previous life, none of this had obviously happened.
It was his own rebirth that changed his original trajectory. I am still the same person in my previous life, and I have never woken up...
Shen Qiaochen suddenly felt dizzy, and countless thoughts flooded into his head.
Finally, she heard her own voice say,
"Grandma, the Shen family...is there anyone who looks like me?"
