Chapter 266
"No, no," Shen Jiangdong explained, "It's not what it used to be, Princess..."

"I have suffered so much," said the eldest princess Xianju, "I returned to the Imperial Capital after a narrow escape. I thought that I would be able to go smoothly from now on, but the queen doesn't like me and wants to drive me out of Ninghua Hall. The third brother disliked me and kicked me out of the palace, even the little lady ignored me. Brother Shen, I don't understand, why is this happening?"

Shen Jiangdong had no choice but to say: "How can the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, and the Empress ignore the sufferings of the Eldest Princess? Isn't it more comfortable for a princess to live in the Princess Mansion than in the palace?"

Princess Xianju finally laughed when she heard the words, and held Shen Jiangdong's hand, "Yes, I live in the palace, so I can't see you."

Shen Jiangdong has nowhere to hide, and he is thinking about how to talk about this matter to Jinshang tomorrow.He sighed, "Princess, it's getting late today..."

"Oh," Princess Xianju said, "So you invite me to come back tomorrow?" She smiled sweetly, and the room was full of spring, "Okay, I will listen to you."

Princess Xianju finally left, Shen Jiangdong lifted the embroidered cover in the inner room, revealing Jiang Feng's clean face.Shen Jiangdong took a step back in fright, "You you...you are back?"

Jiang Feng asked, "Why are you guilty?"

Shen Jiangdong said: "When did you... come back?"

Jiang Feng said: "She said she lives in the palace, and when she can't see you." After speaking, she turned around and left.Shen Jiangdong had no choice but to explain to Jiang Feng, "It's not what you think!"

"Then you still let her come back tomorrow?"

"I didn't ask her to come, she herself..."

The next day Jiang Feng wanted to see Siqing, but this day Ninghua Palace hosted a banquet for several princesses from the county, and Siqing was busy, so Jiang Feng went to see Xu Huaimin at the military guards first.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yi came to Ninghua Palace, and the banquet in Ninghua Palace happened to be over, Siqing didn't know what he heard, and his face was not good-looking.Xiao Yi smiled and asked: "What's wrong?"

At this time, Shen Jiangdong and Li Yuanzhen asked to meet, and Xiao Yi met in Ninghua Palace.Li Yuanzhen left behind first, Siqing walked out of the screen with a plain face, Shen Jiangdong hurriedly bowed, but Siqing didn't answer, just said: "Why, uncle is not in Beijing, so you bullied sister?"

Shen Jiangdong was taken aback, and Si Qing said: "She didn't come to see me, she didn't say it. But today all the concubines know about it. Why are you so stunned?"

Shen Jiangdong had no choice but to say: "Mrs. Hui, my uncle is in Beijing, and I dare not bully Xuan Bin. My uncle is not in Beijing, so I have neither the courage nor the ability to bully Xuan Bin."

"I don't have the ability to bully her, but I think she is too strong, and it would be better for you to look at her as gentle as water?" Si Qing said.

"What's going on?" Xiao Yi couldn't figure it out, "What do you mean?" He asked Shen Jiangdong, "Have you quarreled with Madam?"

Shen Jiangdong didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess always goes to the minister's house. The minister can't control where the princess goes, this is really..."

Xiao Yi knew it, and he understood it all at once, so he said: "Don't worry, wait for me to talk to my fourth sister."

Shen Jiangdong breathed a sigh of relief and resigned.

Siqing's complexion was not good, and Xiao Yi said: "When the marriage was discussed, the sixth sister's family had already collapsed, leaving only the fourth and fifth sisters. The Empress Dowager intends to promote the fifth sister to be the princess of Anyang and marry Han Shouchen. Let Yuanxi marry the fourth younger sister. Yuanxi had selfish intentions and did not want his own younger sister to marry Fan, so he married the fifth younger sister to Lan Cheng, and then refused the fourth younger sister to marry him because of the existing marriage contract. There was no other way. The fourth younger sister had no choice but to marry far away and go to Dingfan."

Siqing said: "Has he discussed marriage with the eldest princess?"

Xiao Yi nodded.

Siqing sighed, "The eldest princess is a poor person."

"That's why I said, if she is willing to remarry, look for a good man for her," Xiao Yi said, "Of course, Yuanxi is impossible. If Yuanxi was interested in her, she would not have refused the marriage back then. Xi is interested, but I still don’t agree.”

On the second day after Jiang Feng returned to Beijing, he went to Gu's house in Ginkgo Lane. When he returned to Jiaguo Mansion, he saw Princess Xianju's car driving again.She felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she couldn't say anything, so she went to Wu Zhai in the south of the city.When Jiang Feng returned home at night, Shen Jiangdong said cautiously: "I told you before that I discussed marriage with the princess. I didn't..."

"In the past, you meant that the eldest princess was unrequited love," Jiang Feng said, "I know, because of Huanhua's marriage, your Shen family is sorry for the eldest princess."

Shen Jiangdong said: "This has nothing to do with you. I will ask His Majesty to dissuade the Eldest Princess. Your Majesty is also looking for a husband for the Eldest Princess."

A few days after Jiang Feng returned to Beijing, Princess Xianju held a cherry banquet in the mansion for all the wives of the family, and Jiang Feng was among them.Jiang Feng didn't want to go at first, but he was afraid that it would be too embarrassing, so he had to go to the eldest princess's mansion.

During the banquet, Princess Xianju's maid came to invite her. Jiang Feng left the table with her, walked around the main hall, and saw Princess Xianju standing in front of the pavilion in a plain gauze gown, and smiled at her.

Shen Jiangdong was having wine with the palace in the evening, and when he returned home after the banquet, Jiang Feng had already taken off the jewelry in front of the makeup mirror.The gold hairpin grabbed her hair and couldn't take it off. Shen Jiangdong came to help, Jiang Feng stopped and asked Shen Jiangdong softly, "Yuanxi."

"Ok?"

"If I didn't investigate the Fuzhou case, wouldn't you have experienced what happened later?"

Shen Jiangdong was puzzled, "Why bring up the Fuzhou case again?"

Jiang Feng couldn't see any expression, and said lightly, "Yuanxi, I'm too close to the queen, is it embarrassing for you too?"

Shen Jiangdong asked: "What did you do today, who did you meet?"

Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head, Shen Jiangdong turned to ask Yueying, Yueying told Jiang Feng what he had said about going to the Princess Xianju's mansion.After hearing this, Shen Jiangdong stopped Jiang Feng, "Let's go!"

"Where are you going so late?"

"Let's go to the eldest princess's mansion together. If there is anything we can explain."

"Yuanxi!" Jiang Feng pulled out his hand, "I used to think about what is 'Qi Dafei', but now I understand, I don't understand the twists and turns of the imperial family at all, and I don't understand the affairs of the Duke of Baojia. safe."

Shen Jiangdong said: "Xuan Bin, what did she tell you?"

Jiang Feng smiled, "Let's separate."

---

The palace of Suian was quiet, and all the palace guards were outside the palace. The empress dowager stroked the princess Xianju's bun and said, "You child, go out to live in the palace, so you won't come to see me."

Princess Xianju said: "My little lady once said that if I have someone I like, she will marry me."

The empress dowager smiled slightly, "Of course, you have a sweetheart?"

"Young love, I still don't forget it," said Princess Xianju, "Little lady, I know that the queen is close to his wife, so I have to tell you."

The Empress Dowager's smile gradually disappeared, "Fourth, he is not Wang Xianzhi, and you can't be Princess Xin'an either. You can't be so confused."

Princess Xianju cried: "Why? He owes me this, and I didn't let her divorce her wife."

"Aren't you fooling around!"

"If I was really messing around, I would have run away from marriage in the early years and never married Dingfan!"

The empress dowager sighed when she heard the words, "Fourth, marrying Dingfan far away has indeed made you suffer. Neither your third brother nor I will stop you from marrying what you want. But there is also a premise, you can't marry a woman." Husband."

Princess Xianju cried: "So what, he was married, and I was also married, and there is no difference between them!" After crying, she turned her head and ran away.

Princess Xianju didn't know what she said to Xiao Yi, and Xiao Yi was very dissatisfied.Not long after, Shen Jiangdong was always pointed at when he was walking outside. It turned out that the news that the eldest princess of Xianju wanted to marry him spread wildly. It was rumored that he was about to divorce his wife and marry the eldest princess.

Shen Jiangdong didn't know where such rumors came from, but what the eldest princess of Xianju and Xiao Yi said was probably related to the marriage of the eldest princess.Xiao Yi refused, and Princess Xianju said that as long as she married Shen Jiangdong, she would not care about anything else, which annoyed the always peaceful empress dowager.

Yunchu and Siqing talked about this in private, and Siqing said: "She is a poor person, she was forced to marry far away, and the court cut down the feudal clan. She probably lived a life that was worse than death. When she came back to Beijing, she still felt that everyone treated her badly." Friendly. But I have no position, no matter what you say, she can't marry Shen Yuanxi. "

The eldest princess is obsessed with Shen Jiangdong, how she endured humiliation, how she sought death and life, became the talking point of the imperial capital in no time.When Shen Jiangdong and Jiang Feng went out to meet people, there were strange eyes everywhere.Si Qing persuaded Jiang Feng not to pay attention to it, and it would be fine if the matter was cold. Jiang Feng just smiled, but turned his head and said to Shen Jiangdong: "I said before that it is wrong for us to be in a wrong family. If the eldest princess of Xianju wants to marry , we are in harmony."

Shen Jiangdong was coerced by the inside and outside, and there were signs of illness again, "Xuan Bin, I am so worthless in your heart, can I be passed around like a gift?"

Jiang Feng was still calm, "Without you, I would have been silenced after the Fuzhou case. Today, for the sake of Jiaguo Mansion, I should fulfill you and not drag you down."

"Fulfill what? Drag what?" Shen Jiangdong burst into anger, "You are trying to kill me by saying that. Xuan Bin, we have experienced so many things together, I thought we all understood that we would never be apart. How can you bring up and leave because of a trivial matter?"

Jiang Feng wiped his tears, and Shen Jiangdong saw that she was crying too, and quickly said: "Xuan Bin, although I am not a sincere gentleman, I will not be a lucky person." He stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Feng's hand, "You have to trust us .”

He suddenly saw Jiang Feng smiling proudly with a changed face, and couldn't help being stunned, "You've been testing me recently?!"

Jiang Feng put his arms around him and said with a sly smile, "How could I give you up to others? No one wants me to give you up to others now."

Everyone loves to hear about the unofficial romance between Duke Jia and the eldest princess when they were young, and things keep fermenting. There are even rumors about how Shen Jiangdong visited the eldest princess's mansion at night and talked with the eldest princess all night long.The matter became more and more unbearable, and the only solution seemed to be to marry the eldest princess immediately, but Xiao Yi didn't want her sister to get married in a hurry, so he advised the eldest princess not to have any more contact with Shen Jiangdong.

Princess Xianju said: "You love the later empress so much, and this empress fell in love with Yuanxi's wife. I know you only listen to the empress's words, and you don't take mine to heart."

Xiao Yi said: "This has nothing to do with the queen."

"You should have your heart for the queen," said Princess Xianju, "but brother, you shouldn't treat me like this. You know very well that this is my only wish in this life. I have nothing else to ask for. .”

"But this matter just won't work," Xiao Yi said, "fourth brother, you don't need to talk about it anymore."

Princess Xianju suddenly pulled out the long hairpin with cone feet in her hair to threaten her with death, "Then what's the point of living if I'm alive?"

Seeing this, Siqing came in and said with a smile: "It's getting late, the eldest princess will stay in Ninghua Palace today?"

Princess Xianju put down her long hairpin and said, "You are the emperor's queen and his arm, how dare I disturb you?" After speaking, she turned and left.

Xiao Yi said to Si Qing: "Don't take her words to heart."

"I know," Siqing asked, "what should I do, isn't this a group of gangsters bullying Sister Xuanbin?"

Xiao Yi said, "How would I know?"

Si Qing said: "The problem is still with Shen Yuanxi, he has said nothing, so it's all over now?"

Xiao Yi said: "Yuanxi has finished talking, and the fourth younger sister is looking for death. Didn't you see?"

Siqing asked doubtfully, "Is it true that the eldest princess can't think about it?"

Xiao Yi said: "You don't know her temperament...it's really hard to say what will happen to her. Probably only Yuan Xi can untie her knot."

The late Empress Dowager Renkang and the present Empress Dowager and others had a total of three adopted daughters. Siqing didn't understand the marriage history of the three of them, Princess Xianju, Yan Mowei, and Shen Huanhua. up.

At night, Siqing was removing her hair in front of the mirror, while Xiao Yi was still reading books.Siqing was in a daze while undoing her hair, and then asked Xiao Yi: "Third brother, Shen Yuanxi rushed to marry his own sister because of her sister's refusal to marry Fan. Why didn't you blame him back then? It seems...you all hoped The one who married into Dingfan was Princess Xianju."

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and said lightly: "The fourth child is not as good as the fifth child to please the emperor's grandmother and the little lady."

Si Qing knew he was lying, but she stopped asking.

The eldest princess came out of Ninghua Palace sobbing and choking, and when she returned to the princess mansion at night, she was about to seek death, but fortunately the maid found out and rescued her in time.

The next morning the Empress Dowager got the news and was so anxious that she asked Shang Siqing to go to the Princess Mansion to see her.

Siqing really couldn't figure out why the eldest princess survived such difficult years in Dingfan, why now she is looking for death and life for the sake of marriage.

The Eldest Princess mainly has a respectable position, and she is the most beautiful among Shangyang Princess Yan Mowei, Shen Huanhua and others.Since the previous marriage was not in harmony, now he is in a hurry to get married and what to do.Besides marrying Shen Jiangdong, if she wanted to do something else romantic, wouldn't Xiao Yi and the empress dowager turn a blind eye?

If it is said that the eldest princess valued such a handsome and unparalleled gentleman as Du Sizhong, it would be fine, but Shen Jiangdong was handsome in his early years. He has been sick since he was defeated and injured in Xinjian. Do you know what happened before?Shen Jiangdong is not like a merciless person.

If it is the stability of the Tujia State Mansion, then it should not be.With the ups and downs of Jia Guogong's mansion, can't Princess Xianju see how Shen Jiangdong is walking on thin ice now?
Siqing was thinking wildly, the empress dowager cried to the pale eldest princess on the couch: "Fourth, you sisters, you are the only one left, why are you so stupid, you have to force me?"
