Chunguang Brocade

Chapter 161 The Pillow Flower House 2
At dusk, all kinds of jugglers come out from the streets and alleys and gather in Washi, either occupying booths or starting preparations, attracting curious people to gather here.

Gao Chen was sitting at the hidden attic window of the Daxiangshe, watching the scenery, leaning on his temples with one hand, and gently patting the surface of his legs with the other, as if playing some ditty, leisurely.

A middle-aged man came in quietly from the small corner door, stood beside him, and whispered, "Master, Ji Chong took the little lady surnamed Xia to the sealed Zhenhualou."

Hearing the words Zhenhualou, the hands patting the legs stopped.

"Grandpa, do you want to..."

"Did King Qin bring his grandson to Beijing?"

"Master Hui, we are going to the capital soon."

Gao Chen's stopped hands started to slap lightly and rhythmically, "Take advantage of this time to quickly find the treasure map of the Three Kings."

The middle-aged man had a perplexed look on his face, "Master, the lunatic surnamed Ying can't find any news at all, the little one..."

Gao Chen looked at him, "Where is it locked?"

"In the back mountain of the Taoist temple she used to practice."

"Get ready, I'll go see her."

"Yes, master, I'm going to prepare for leaving the city now." The middle-aged man was very excited, turned around and went out, and walked to the door as if thinking of something, suddenly stopped and asked, "Then...the pillow flower building..."

"It came from a closed brothel." The corner of Gao Chen's mouth curled up, not caring.

"..." The middle-aged man blinked, shut up, and turned around to make arrangements for leaving the city.

Ji Chong personally took Shen Chuxia to Zhenhualou. From the evening of the first day to the evening of the next day, Shen Chuxia almost visited all corners of Zhenhualou without any inspiration or clues.

Ji Chong came out of the palace and went to Zhenhualou to pick her up, "Let's go, let's go eat first."

Shen Chuxia nodded, "Your Highness, can I come in at any time?"

"Well, yes." Ji Chong took off a copper token from his waist, "Hold it, you can come in anytime."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Ji and Shen had dinner together.

"I'll be busy recently. If you need manpower, find Hopu."

"Oh." Shen Chuxia nodded.

The little lady didn't ask him what he was busy with. She was obedient and clever, just like ordinary little ladies, but she was not an ordinary little lady who stayed in the boudoir. She was independent, thoughtful, and assertive, so gentle and silent. Chong is not used to it.

He thought for a while and said, "In a few days, my father will come to the capital."

Still wondering where Gao's wealth is hidden, "..." She looked up, what did he just say?Father?

Only then did Shen Chuxia realize that something was wrong, "You..." In her impression, isn't he an orphan?

Ji Chong lowered his eyes, his expression was silent, he really looked like an abandoned child.

"King Qin is here to help you prepare..." Shen Chuxia didn't dare to say anything about the matter of imperial power and throne.

She hesitated to speak, causing him to raise his eyes and sneer: "It's not here to help me ascend the throne, but to help my little nephew ascend the throne."

"Why?" Shen Chuxia became agitated, and rushed out with everything, "Ping the third king, kill the Chu king, and unplug the Gao family, these are all hard work, why did you let your little nephew be enthroned?" ?”

Finally someone said something objective and fair, Ji Chong felt very relieved, and smiled lightly, "The arrangement of the clan."

He spoke calmly, as if agreeing with the result.

"How could this be?" Mingming felt unfair for Ji Chong, but for some reason, Shen Chuxia's heart swept away the haze of the previous few days, as if he was inexplicably clear when he saw the sun after pulling out the clouds.

If you don't ascend the throne, then you are not the emperor, if you are not the emperor, then is it possible not to marry so many women?
Shen Chuxia pressed the corners of her raised lips, "Your Highness, what do you mean..." You have to ask him if he wants to be emperor.

Ji Chong answered irrelevantly, "It's getting late, I'll take you home."

Shen Chuxia's joyful heart fell from the peak to the bottom in an instant, "Oh, yes."

She just said, that man will give up the power at his fingertips, let alone the biggest one, no one will refuse.

Walking on the street, with the evening wind blowing, slowly, Shen Chuxia calmed down the feeling of being over a mountain just now, forget it, leave everything to God's will.

On the third floor of Anfeng Building, Ji Chong has been standing at the window, looking at the little lady's back as she goes away, "Send a lot of dark guards to follow you around, don't let her be in any danger, if she is a little bit wrong, I want your heads land."

"Yes, Your Highness." Trembling with fright, a group of hidden guards promised quickly.

Back home, it was already completely dark. Shen Chuxia originally wanted to go back to her own yard. Thinking about how polite the ancients were, and fearing that Shen Yuanshi would be worried, she turned her feet and went to the Shen's and his wife's yard.

After passing through the corridor, just as she was about to turn to the Shen's and his wife's yard, Fen Xiang gently gave her a hand, "Little lady, there is someone in front."

Shen Chuxia was pulled behind the pillars of the corridor by her, and took advantage of the opportunity to hide among the holly bushes under the corridor.

The footsteps gradually came to a sudden stop.

"My lord—" The voice was very soft, but Shen Chuxia could still recognize the voice of Shen Mingxi's own mother.

"Don't worry." It was Shen Jinlin's voice.

"My lord, how can I not be in a hurry, if I am not in a hurry... Is there still a chance?" The woman's voice was suppressed, and there was urgency in sadness.

What's the meaning?Could it be that this woman wants to get rid of the superior Shen Yuanshi?

Shen Chuxia's anger rose immediately, if she didn't want to hear what this scumbag Shen Jinlin had to say, she would have rushed up and slapped this woman.

But Shen Jinlin didn't speak for a long time, no way, he acquiesced?Shen Chuxia was debating whether to show her face, when her cheap father spoke up.

"Xi'er is still young, so who can tell what will happen in the future?"

Qingluan disagreed: "My lord, if Ji Chong ascends to the throne, maybe it will really be like what you said, my lord, but not now. The Ji clan has introduced brother Ji Chong's son. What else is there to change?"

A concubine talking about state affairs with her former master?Women in the Great Wei Dynasty cared so much about current affairs?Obviously not.

Amidst the flashes of light and flames, some unreasonable things that once lingered in Shen Chuxia's mind clearly came one after another.

The Shen family clearly has family precepts - men are not allowed to take wives, and women are not allowed to be concubines. Shen Jinlin, the most promising member of the Shen family, has violated the ancestral precepts. If you look at this matter in the context of the general environment, it will no longer be normal .

But for the Shen family, it was unbelievable for the Shen family that Wailang, a member of the fifth-grade ceremony department who was once excellent enough to be praised by the Shen family, violated the ancestral precepts to accept concubines.

What if this concubine does not belong to Shen Jinlin?Does that make sense?
If it's not his father's concubine, then who is she, and who is her son's biological father?Shen Xiuer's girl Xiaocao once said that Shen Mingxi looks a lot like Uncle Xiaoguo.

If you don't want to think about it, if you think about it carefully, Uncle Xiao Guo and Shen Mingxi really look alike, especially a pair of eyebrows and eyes, both of them have beautiful Ruifeng eyes, and there is a pair of heroic eyebrows in appropriate shades on Ruifeng eyes.

There are not all people in the world who look alike, which doesn't seem to explain anything.

But it is impossible for Shen Jinlin to marry a concubine, but Shen Chuxia's heart is firmly fixed in Shen Chuxia's heart. Tomorrow, he will ask the old fool to check Qing's family.
