Moreover, Shen Qiao rarely went out for walks. Over the years, the evaluation of the Shen family's legitimate daughter in the capital was not very favorable.
Yesterday's palace banquet was her first public appearance in these years, but most people's impression of her was unexpectedly good.
After Jiang Fengmian learned the news last night, he almost immediately went to dig up the news about Shen Qiaochen.
Only then did they realize that they knew very little about this Shen family's legitimate daughter.
In the intelligence, there were only a few words recorded about her.
In the end, Jiang Fengmian knew more than:
Shen Qiaochen, the legitimate daughter of General Jianwei's mansion, was the fourth in the family and was extremely favored.
He has been frail and sickly since childhood and rarely goes out.
He has a timid and meek personality and is good at calligraphy.
Other than that, nothing else is known.
Jiang Fengmian looked at the record, which was full of dissatisfaction on even one piece of paper, and sighed, thinking that he should send more people to the Shen Mansion in the future.
After all, looking at Xiao Jue's attitude towards Shen Qiaochen, I am afraid that these two people will have many ties in the future.
…
In fact, there were quite a few people who behaved the same way as Jiang Fengmian last night.
Unexpectedly, this Miss Shen Si, who seemed to have been unknown before, could actually become a sensation at the palace banquet.
This is the first girl that Prince Yong and the Crown Prince can take the initiative to rescue...
As the eldest son of a powerful prince, Xiao Jue was always treated kindly by Emperor Chongming.
It itself can also be described with the four words "amazing talent and beauty".
People who want to get married in Prince Yong's Mansion are like crucian carp crossing the river.
But such a high-minded Xiao Shizi could actually take the initiative to confront the Queen's legitimate son for the sake of the Shen family girl.
This simply shocked the eyes of everyone present.
Even Xiao Jue's father, now Prince Yong Xiao Shen, was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
Not to mention that Xiao Jue is extremely handsome and is the dream girl of many girls present.
Xiao Jue usually ignored them, and she thought he had such an incomprehensible temperament.
Who would have thought that when they met this humble Shen Qiaochen, they would directly stage a drama of a hero saving a beauty.
This made many official ladies who admired Xiao Jue tear up the handkerchiefs on the spot.
…
In any case, Shen Qiaochen's sudden appearance was really beyond everyone's expectations and made many people present have their own thoughts.
Look at the appearance and temperament of this Shen girl, she is not as bad as the rumors say.
The Shen family has always been deeply favored by the emperor, and Shen Congyan also holds military power.
Miss Shen Si is the only legitimate daughter of the Shen family, and she is getting older.
If he could marry Shen Qiaochen, he would be firmly tied to the General's Mansion.
As a result, the matrons present gradually became more active.
They are all thinking about their sons and grandsons who are of the right age, and even their nephews and nephews from their natal family.
But when they wanted to go over and ask Mrs. Shen about the fourth girl of the Shen family, they found that Mrs. Shen was no longer at the table.
After asking, I found out that the sixth princess personally accompanied her to the side hall to rest.
Everyone had to stop and think about finding an opportunity to go to the General's Mansion in person when they turn around.
Only the one who thought more was thinking about the Sixth Princess and the Fifth Prince, whose mother and concubine also came from the General's Palace and was Shen Qiaochen's direct aunt.
The fifth prince is now gradually growing up. With such a relationship, it is extremely possible for Concubine Shen to become the fifth prince and the fourth girl of the Shen family.
Although these fifth princes are several years younger than Miss Shen, as the saying goes, "a junior girl holds gold bricks." '
With Concubine Shen here, this must not be a big problem.
…
In short, after the palace banquet dispersed yesterday and everyone returned home, they all had trouble sleeping all night.
It's just that some of them were surprised by Emperor Chongming's decree to establish a crown prince, while others were trying to find out about the fourth girl in the General's Mansion through various channels.
But no matter how many methods they tried, what they found out in the end was very different from what Jiang Fengmian found.
It seems that those few short sentences can cover the life of this Miss Shen Si.
Only then did everyone realize that they seemed to have overlooked something for so many years.
The Shen family hides such an outstanding legitimate daughter. What is Shen Congyan's plan?
Is it possible that, as some people said before, the Shen family is still planning to have another Concubine Shen?
…
Shen Qiaochen naturally didn't know what other people were thinking. At this time, all her attention was focused on tonight's lantern festival.
Since you are out to play, don't let what happened before affect your mood when watching the lights.
She just wants to see the floats and flower lanterns in an open and honest manner. Only those sneaky people can only hide in the darkness all day long.
She just wants to let some people know that their well-thought-out plan has failed. Only in this way can they continue to take action, and she just needs to wait and see.
What's the point of spying on each other secretly? Only by driving each other off can the other party reveal their true purpose and let them think that they can win. In this way, in the end, when they see that they are safe and sound, they can experience the joy of heaven. The pain of falling into hell.
After all, the most painful thing in the world is not losing it after getting it, but that what you want is so close to you, but you will never get it again.
Only when hope is about to reach its peak and you break it, can you feel the truest despair.
…
The more hatred surged in his heart, the sweeter the smile on Shen Qiaochen's face became.
Looking straight at his brother who was right in front of him, what appeared in front of Shen Qiaochen's eyes was the way he looked when he saw him for the last time in his previous life.
Among the four Shen brothers and sisters, the third brother has the simplest mind.
But for such an optimistic and open-minded Shen Qiaoran, his eyes at that time were filled with a hint of confusion and sadness.
Seeing the light in his eyes dimming inch by inch, Shen Qiaochen felt like his heart was twisting in a knife.
Her relatives died one by one, and Bai Xiaonian would tell her the circumstances of each person's death as a joke.
Even now, Shen Qiaochen can still remember the viciousness in Bai Xiaonian's eyes at that time.
Every word that came out of her red lips was like the most poisonous venom of a poisonous snake, penetrating into Shen Qiaochen's skin until it penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
But there was nothing she could do. She could only watch helplessly as every inch of skin, bone, and blood on her body became pus, rotten, and smelly bit by bit.
When all your loved ones have died because of you, it becomes a sin to live.
…
The familiar cramping feeling in her chest came back, as if someone was holding her heart tightly.
Shen Qiaochen closed his eyes forcefully, forcing himself to come back from his deep self-loathing...
After an unknown amount of time, the pain gradually subsided. Shen Qiaochen breathed a sigh of relief and slowly relaxed his body.
"Let go." A deep male voice suddenly came from his ears.
Shen Qiao opened her eyes subconsciously and met a pair of angry eyes.
