Seeing that Shen Qiaochen really didn't want to say it, Shen Qiaoqi didn't force it. After all, everyone has some secrets in their hearts that they don't want to say and can't say.
After reaching an agreement on the matter, the brother and sister got down to business.
After a moment of silence, Shen Qiaoqi spoke first: "I was far away from the palace banquet yesterday and couldn't hear clearly. But after I returned home, I asked Ah Ran and he said that after you left, he chatted with Prince Xiao for a while and said some things. Prince Xiao seems to be a little interested in what happened when you were children."
"Really?" Thinking of the way Shen Qiaoran got along with Xiao Jue yesterday, Shen Qiaoran asked curiously: "Are Third Brother familiar with Prince Xiao? I don't think they look like they just met..."
Perhaps it was because Shen Qiaochen rarely mentioned others, Shen Qiaoqi said patiently: "The two of them are classmates, well... how should I put it, it should be said that Ah Ran is unilaterally pestering Prince Xiao..."
Seeing that his sister was still confused, Shen Qiaoqi remembered that Shen Qiaochen had been recuperating in the house for many years and didn't know many things outside. So he thought in his heart that he must find an opportunity to mention it to his grandmother. Mention, now that Xiao Qiao's condition has improved and she has reached her age, she cannot be locked up in the house forever. After all, she has to have her own social circle. She always has to learn about the interpersonal relationships outside and the division of power between high-ranking families. of.
But the other side continued: "You also know that your third brother has been arrogant and indulgent since he was a child. He has only a limited training in martial arts, but he has the ability to cause trouble. Since he was a child, there was no time when he was in front of me and I was behind. It’s okay to clean up the mess, it’s not like this for the elder brother.”
Shen Qiaoqi paused, and then continued: "Then I gradually became busy, and I no longer had time to keep an eye on him. When I came back to my senses, I found that he was still getting into trouble every three days, but there always seemed to be someone. Finish it for him.”
He didn't know what he was thinking of when he said this, and his expression was a bit incomprehensible.
"At first I thought he was lucky, until one day he had a conflict with his classmates in the Imperial College. In the chaos, he accidentally injured one person. The other person was the youngest son of the Minister of Rites."
"The Minister of Rites...the Yan family?"
Shen Qiaoqi glanced at Shen Qiaochen, seeming to be a little surprised that she knew that the surname of the Minister of Rites was Yan. Then he continued,
"That's right, that's the Yan family. The young master of the Yan family is the old son of Mr. Yan. He has been loved by Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan since he was a child. In addition, this young master of the Yan family wrote a Good words, but now I hurt my right hand. Even if it was unintentional, the Yan family didn't care about it. Mrs. Yan handed the certificate to the palace that night, and took Mrs. Yan to the palace to see the Queen Mother early the next morning. Fortunately After all, the Yan family didn't want to make things right. If we go to see the queen, not only Ah Ran, but our entire Shen family might be implicated."
Shen Qiaoqi knew that Shen Qiaoqi's words were not deliberately exaggerated. If the Yan family went to see the Queen that day, and according to the right minister's behavior, he would have been severely trampled on if he managed to catch the Shen family. Maybe it will also affect the Shen family and his wife who are far away at the border.
Shen Qiao said silently: "Since ancient times, the former dynasty and the harem have been closely related. The daughters of the Shen family and the Li family hate each other in the harem, so the father and the right prime minister are in the former dynasty, so their relationship will naturally not be very harmonious. .”
If Shen Congyan is pulled away, Concubine Shen's life in the harem will be difficult.
Shen Qiaoqi was thoughtful, the Yan family...then suddenly thought of something, turned around and looked at Shen Qiaoqi,
"That young master of the Yan family, is his name Yan Ruoqing?"
"Yes, that's him. Why, Xiao Qiao actually recognizes the young master of the Yan family?" Shen Qiaoqi raised his eyebrows.
Ignoring his second brother's joking, Shen Qiaochen asked, "I went out with my third brother a few days ago and met his classmates in Zuijiangyue. One of them seems to be named Yan Ruoqing."
Shen Qiaochen recalled that when she was leading someone out that day when her skirt was splashed with tea, someone called out this name...
"But, I think Third Brother and this Young Master Yan don't seem to have a bad relationship..." She said hesitantly.
Shen Qiaoqi smiled and shook his head, turned and looked into the distance, "Yes, not only is it not bad, it is also very good."
"Because later, someone intervened midway, and things calmed down inexplicably."
Hearing Shen Qiaoqi's faint voice, a name came to Shen Qiaoqi's mind inexplicably.
"Xiao Jue."
"That person is Xiao Jue."
Sure enough, it was him, and the suspicion in his heart was verified, but more questions followed. Shen Qiaochen pursed her lips and asked, "But why, Xiao Jue...why did Prince Xiao do this?"
"I don't know." Shen Qiaoqi shook his head, seeming very puzzled, "No one knows what Xiao Jue did, and no one knows why he did it. But one day the Yan family suddenly stopped pursuing it. I think It’s strange. I looked it up secretly and found out vaguely. Even your third brother’s friendship with Yan Ruoqing later had Xiao Jue’s handiwork.”
"Later, I became worried. Our Shen family and Prince Yong's Mansion have always kept a close eye on each other. Xiao Jue's move made me worried that there was fraud, so I continued to investigate, and found out that when I couldn't look after it, it was also Xiao Jue. Quietly solved a lot of troubles for Ah Ran."
"Does Third Brother know these things?"
Shen Qiaoqi smiled helplessly, "What I can find out, others can naturally find out."
Shen Qiao suddenly understood that Xiao Jue was a person with great talent even in his youth. If he really wanted to hide it, even Shen Qiaoqi wouldn't be able to find out so easily.
Unless...he did it on purpose.
He deliberately left a loophole to let others know that he was the one covering up Shen Qiaoran.
It is said that the third young master of the Shen family, Shen Qiaoran, is the reincarnation of a lucky star, so he has always been known as a demon king among the children in the capital.
But if it were placed in front of Prince Xiao, it would be a small witch compared to a big witch.
Everyone in the Dajin Dynasty didn't know that Prince Xiao was truly a proud man of heaven. Not only was he of noble birth, but he was already brought to the battlefield by Prince Yong at a young age, and now he also had considerable military exploits.
Not to mention that he has a face as beautiful as jade, but a fierce temperament. Riding horses in the capital, they are unruly and wanton.
Naturally, no one dares to offend the people he protects.
There were also those who were short-sighted and asked directly to Shen Qiaoran. Although Third Young Master Shen is not as smart as his second brother, he is by no means stupid. Although I don't know when I became friends with this noble and noble young prince, how can I extrapolate the supporter who came to my door.
As a result, such scenes often occur in Beijing.
Shen Qiaoran always caused trouble, or got into trouble, and when they were at loggerheads, Prince Xiao would always fall from the sky, lean aside unhurriedly, and look at the other person, so frightened that the other party stopped and did not dare to say anything.
When Shen Qiaoran saw this, he immediately held his head high and walked up to Xiao Jue with another look of admiration on his face, his handsome little face sparkling with phoenix eyes.
Then the two of them turned around and walked away, leaving behind a crowd of people eating melons.
"Prince Xiao is so kind to Young Master Shen. This is nothing more than a real brother." This was a normal thought and he didn't think about anything else.
"The world is really in decline, immoral and unethical!" This is thinking too much and getting it wrong again and again.
