With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 155 It's Not That Simple

"It's okay, I usually don't just drink Biluochun, Maojian is also good." Su Junning said.

And took a sip of tea.

There's no need to be so hypocritical.

The Seventh Prince joked with a smile.

"It's rare that you can remember who likes what tea when you are so careful."

"There are not many people worthy of my attention, of course they are rare." Shen Qianwei smiled.

I'm not sorry to see you at all.

Instead, he asked carelessly, "Why do you have time to come to me today, the government is not busy?"

Ever since King Chen was injured, all the things in his hands have been divided. The fourth child can't do it, and King Jin can't handle so much work alone, so the seventh prince has become busy.

"You have to rest even if you are busy, and your body is not made of iron." The Seventh Prince took a sip of his tea, and then glanced at Su Junning from the corner of his eye, "Besides, I am here to congratulate you, I didn't expect it to be a coincidence, I'm bothering you."

When he said that, Shen Qianwei was not polite.

"Well, I'm really bothering you, or I'll have someone deliver the fish cake to your house later, so you can go right now, and don't keep your lunch."

"Stingy!" The Seventh Prince glared at him, "I'll bring you a gift for this trip, and you won't even be allowed to eat."

Looking at the interaction between the two, Su Junning did not expect that the relationship between the two is so good.

That's right, she has never met Shen Qianwei's friends yet.

The two chatted and laughed for a while, before Shen Qianwei became serious, and cupped his hands at the Seventh Prince.

"This time, thank you for telling us the emperor's intentions, otherwise we would not be able to deal with it in advance."

Facing his thanks, the Seventh Prince's eyes flickered before he waved his hand.

"Tell me these things, I just happened to enter the palace to pay my respects to the queen, and I learned about it by chance."

"Going to greet the queen?" Shen Qianwei's face flashed doubts.

In his impression, the Seventh Prince would never do such a thing, unless he was with the crowd, he would never have anything to do with concubines in the harem.

Because the Seventh Prince's birth mother died early and he came from a lowly family background, he was often disliked and stared at by the girls in Emperor Jianning's backyard when he was young. When he grows up, he is naturally alienated.

At that time, the seventh prince also realized that he had made a mistake in speaking while relaxing, so he immediately made up for it.

"The Queen has been ill because of Brother Chen's affairs. King Jin and the fourth child have their respective mothers and concubines to take care of them. I am alone, so naturally I have no choice but to go to the palace to ask for peace, otherwise I will fall into the shoes of others." .”

When he said that, Shen Qianwei closed his eyes slightly, and naturally thought of the last time in his mind, when the Seventh Prince suddenly asked how he would feel if he participated in the battle for the heir apparent.

At this moment, Shen Qianwei's intuition told him that the seventh prince suddenly got close to the queen, and he could still get news about the candidate for Princess Jin from the queen's mouth, it was not that simple.

But at the moment Su Junning was by his side, he didn't want to involve her, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart for the time being, and revealed this article first.

"So that's the case. There are indeed some face-saving things that should be done, but, is the candidate for your first wife now settled?"

"Not yet." The Seventh Prince shook his head, "My marriage is not as important as King Jin's, they don't necessarily care."

This them, of course, refers to the empresses in the harem.

Shen Qianwei lowered his eyes silently, he naturally didn't like to judge the women in the harem.

And the Seventh Prince also changed the subject in a timely manner.

"Don't talk about me, how about you, this marriage is settled, when are you going to get married?"

Speaking of this, Shen Qianwei's ears couldn't help but feel a little hot, and she glanced at Su Junning from the corner of her eye.

Only then replied in a low voice.

"Isn't this just decided? The specific matters still need to be discussed by the two families. Once the wedding date is fixed, I will naturally post to you."

"Okay, then I'll wait for the wedding wine, congratulations, congratulations."

The Seventh Prince curled his lips into a smile, and bowed his hands to Shen Qianwei and Su Junning respectively.

Su Junning also nodded slightly in return.

After a few people talked for a while, Yan arranged for someone to invite them to the front hall for dinner.

Although Shen He is not here today, the Yan family is capable and able to hold on to the scene.

After lunch, the Seventh Prince left, and then Yan Shi pushed Shen Qianwei to take Su Junning out for a walk.

This is naturally in line with Shen Qianwei's wishes.

Just because the Seventh Prince was here, he couldn't have a good conversation with Su Junning.

As for Su Junning, it doesn't matter, since she came out anyway, it doesn't matter if she stays a little longer before going back.

So the two of them got into the carriage and went down the street.

Shen Qianwei didn't ride a horse today, but sat in Su Junning's carriage.

Anyway, the two of them are already engaged now, so they don't have to be so taboo outside.

Nan Xu cleverly sat on the shaft outside, next to the driver, and let the two of them be alone in the space inside the carriage.

"Are you very familiar with the Seventh Prince?" Su Junning was the first to open the conversation.

When the few people were chatting just now, she looked at the expressions of Shen Qianwei and the seventh prince, and always felt that there was something else in the conversation between the two today.

So I want to explore right now.

Shen Qianwei didn't hide it from her, "We met each other in Yanzhou, and the relationship has always been good, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking that the position of the crown prince is now vacant, and the fourth prince is hopeless, so only Jin Wang and the seventh prince are left. I'm afraid you will be involved." Su Junning narrowed her eyes.

This is actually a half-truth.

In fact, she also wanted to know some news about the Seventh Prince through Shen Qianwei. After all, her father was also an official in the court, and it was still an important position. When the battle for the heir apparent started, how to stand in line was a terrible choice.

For example, right now she and Shen Qianwei are engaged, if the Shen family becomes the Seventh Prince, then the Su family will inevitably be implicated, and will be automatically assigned to the Seventh Prince's camp.

In particular, she also rejected the position of Jin Wangfei, and she was more or less afraid of offending Jin Wang.

After hearing her words, Shen Qianwei's eyes also flashed a dark light.

He could sense the tentative meaning in Su Junning's words. If it was in the past, he would definitely pat his chest and promise that the Seventh Prince would not participate in the seizure of the heir apparent, but right now he is not sure.

So after thinking for a moment, he answered in a low voice.

"Although I have a good relationship with him, the battle for the heir apparent is a major event, and we should not easily participate in it. The Shen family is only a pure minister."

What this means is that regardless of whether the Seventh Prince earns or not, the Shen family remains neutral, obeys the monarch, and will not participate in party disputes.

Su Junning nodded, and then went on like gossiping.

"Then tell me, if the Seventh Prince wants to compete with King Jin, what capital does he have?"

As we all know, the Seventh Prince is the weakest among all the princes.

Shen Qianwei didn't expect Su Junning to ask such a question, and her eyes suddenly became sharper.

In fact, he already has guesses and answers in his heart, but he is not willing to think of his friends that way.

But facing Su Junning at this moment, he couldn't hide it.

So after a moment of silence, Shen Qianwei spoke in a deep voice.

"Prince Chen has no chance of succeeding to the throne. The Xu family's efforts have been wasted for many years, but if they join forces with the Seventh Prince, there is still a chance of winning."

Therefore, the reason why the Seventh Prince told him the news that Emperor Jianning intended to choose Su Junning to be the Princess of Jin was not entirely because of his brotherhood, but because he did not want the King of Jin to have the help of the Su family. .

He didn't say the latter words, but the moment he and Su Junning looked at each other, both of them understood clearly.
