This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 700
Prime Minister's House.

Under the garden gazebo.

Shen Ling'er, who was wearing a goose yellow long dress, was embroidering a purse with a serious face. Occasionally, there was a breeze blowing and gently brushing the ends of her hair, which made her look quite peaceful.Not long after, perhaps she was accidentally pricked by the tip of the needle, only heard her whisper softly, then quickly put the purse on the table, then took out a handkerchief with a distressed expression, and gently covered her fingers stand up.

Shen Yaochen looked at her quietly from a distance for a long time, then shook his head slightly, sighed and walked over slowly.

Hearing the sound of footsteps coming from behind, Shen Linger subconsciously turned her head to take a look, then quickly got up and pouted her small mouth and said with aggrieved face: "Father, your hand was punctured."

Shen Yaochen was doting on his face, walked up to her and took a look at the veil, seeing that there was nothing serious, he wrapped it up for her again, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"pain."

Shen Yaochen pulled Shen Linger to sit down, then casually picked up the purse on the table, Shen Linger's cheeks suddenly flushed, and she quickly snatched it over and looked at Shen Yaochen dissatisfied: "Father, how can you touch other people's things at will."

Shen Yaochen looked at her protecting the mandarin duck purse with a baby-like face, and a trace of bitterness could not help but appear on her face.

Seeing his expression, Shen Linger was slightly startled, and then asked: "What's wrong with you, Dad? Why do you look a little unhappy?"

Shen Yaochen did not answer her question, but looked at her calmly and asked: "Who is this purse embroidered for?"

Shen Linger hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and said softly, "Brother Xiqiu."

As soon as she said this, Shen Yaochen glared at her, and said: "How can you call the emperor's name directly? If others hear it, even Daddy, the prime minister, may cause many unnecessary troubles."

"Yes, my daughter knows, it's Your Majesty."

Shen Yaochen nodded, then suddenly stood up with his back to her and stood by the gazebo with his hands behind his back.

"father"

Shen Yaochen sighed, then turned around and looked at his daughter whom he had loved for many years, and said softly: "Your Majesty has a decree, if there is a daughter-in-law who is not yet married and intends to enter the palace, if you are a third-rank official or above in the court, you will enter the palace tomorrow to listen to the seal." , you are also in this list."

Shen Ling'er didn't understand what he said, and said: "Enter the palace to listen to the seal? What do you mean?"

Shen Yaochen glanced at her with a sad face, and said: "Your Majesty intends to choose some concubines."

Hearing this, Shen Linger immediately became agitated and rushed to Shen Yaochen's side, pulled his sleeves, stared at him with big eyes and asked, "Really? Can I go too?"

Seeing that his usually well-behaved and lovely daughter turned into such an unruly appearance at this moment, Shen Yaochen could only feel his heart being stabbed fiercely in an instant.

He pulled out his sleeves, glanced at her, and said softly, "Go if you want."

After confirming the news, Shen Ling'er immediately threw herself into Shen Yaochen's arms, rubbing her small face against his chest non-stop, and said affectionately: "I knew daddy loved me the most."

Shen Yaochen felt his heart was bleeding, he put his hands on her shoulders and gently pushed her away, then looked at her seriously and said: "Are you really going to enter the palace?"

Shen Ling'er nodded heavily: "In this life, I will not marry anyone except Your Majesty!"

"Even if you have a bad life in the future, you won't regret it?"

"Absolutely not, as long as Ling'er can be by His Majesty's side in this life, she will be satisfied."

Shen Ling'er will never forget that afternoon when she slipped into the water and was choked to the point of fainting. When she opened her eyes, she saw the appearance of the boy with his back to the sun.

"you!"

Shen Ling'er threw herself into Shen Yaochen's arms again, and said: "Of course I want to accompany Daddy."

While Shen Yaochen was sad, he could only purse the corner of his mouth and gently hugged her in his arms.

I hope you won't regret it in the future.

After Shen Linger went back with an excited face, Sima Zongheng slowly walked into the gazebo.

"I really hope that she can find an ordinary family to marry, so that I can also protect them and live a stable life. Once I enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. In the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect her anymore." Shen Yaochen turned his back Looking at Sima Zongheng, his tone was full of discomfort.

"The children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and this is also her own choice."

"Today, Zixiong will be careless, and she will not fall into the love of her children. She will inevitably be treated coldly in the future. How excited she is today, I am afraid she will be so sad in the future."

Sima Zongheng stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yaochen's shoulders, saying: "Don't worry, there are still us?"

Shen Yaochen turned his head to look at him, and asked, "When does Your Majesty plan to use troops against Da Zhou?"

Sima shook his head horizontally and said: "Now that the soldiers have just been recruited and have not been trained, it is not suitable to go to war right now, at least a year later."

"Do you think this war will be won?" Shen Yaochen asked suddenly.

In fact, such words that hurt morale should never be said as the Prime Minister of Great Chu, but he just said it. "What are you worried about? Do you think we will lose?" Sima Zongheng frowned.

Although he had a very good relationship with Shen Yaochen, he felt somewhat displeased when he heard his words.

Shen Yaochen shook his head and said: "That's not true, it's just that the war between my Da Chu and Da Zhou has been going on for almost a hundred years, and the vitality of the two countries is almost exhausted. The most important thing is this war. The scale will definitely not be small, when the time comes, people will suffer, and only the common people will be hurt."

Sima Zongheng snorted coldly and said, "It's just that the literati are short-tempered!"

Shen Yaochen ignored him, broke free from his arm, took a step forward, looked at the scenery in the garden, and suddenly chanted a poem without thinking.

"The mountains and rivers are like clusters, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are outside and inside the Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, I hesitate. Sadly, where the Qin and Han Dynasties traveled, thousands of palaces and palaces have been turned into soil. Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer!"

Sima Zongheng was startled for a while, and then he savored it carefully before he couldn't help admiring: "This is your new writing? The standard is much better than yours before."

Although he didn't like Shen Yaochen's attitude, this poem actually described the fate of the people at the bottom.

Especially the last sentence, prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer!
Rao was touched when he heard this sentence after a long time in the battlefield.

Shen Yaochen shook his head and said, "I didn't do this."

"Who did that? With such a literary background, he shouldn't be an unknown person, right?"

Shen Yaochen turned his head and glanced at him, and said: "This was written by Wen Ruyan, King Jing of the Great Zhou years ago. I also heard about it by chance. This person is really a genius!"

"Wen Ruyan?" Sima Zongheng frowned deeply again, looked at Shen Yaochen with an unkind expression and said, "You have never met this person before, so why do you admire him so much? Even in front of His Majesty, you don't have the slightest thought. Don't be stingy with words of praise, are you really not afraid that His Majesty will have other thoughts about you?"

Shen Yaochen ignored him, just glanced at him calmly, and then left straight away.

Sima Zongheng looked at his back and said loudly: "Your Majesty is thinking. That's all, you should pay more attention in the future!"
