The palace wall reflects the moon

Chapter 75
In Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Jiang Qingyue thought about it for a moment and then made a move.

Shen Gu sighed casually: "You used to be the most restless, but now you can play chess with me."

"You can't go up trees or rivers anymore. You have to find other things to do," Jiang Qingyue looked at the chessboard and urged, "It's your turn."

Shen Gu quickly settled down and asked, "It's just going up a tree and down a river, so why not?"

In the eyes of the people, he, King Xuan, was obsessed with hanging out in fireworks alleys and gambling houses. He entertained many people and drank and drank when he had nothing to do. He became brothers with many princes and sons in the city and also made friends with the gangsters in the market. It was really cynical.

This kind of King Xuan has a somewhat elegant temperament when playing chess, but he is just elegant on the surface. His chess pieces are pressing forward step by step, and he has the potential to drive her away.

"It's not difficult," Jiang Qingyue said with emotion as she tried her best to think of how to break the chess game, "Among the late emperor's princes, you are the only one who feels most at ease now."

Shen Gu said nonchalantly: "Otherwise you will become Princess Xuan, and I will ensure that you live as happily as I do in the future."

Jiang Qingyue's hand paused slightly, just thinking he was joking.

"You've been doing whatever you want all these years, and you won't get yourself into trouble."

The emperor seemed not to care at all, he could send her to Qin Gu as his concubine, and he could make mistakes and let her marry her away to make peace. However, if she became Princess Xuan under his nose, there was no guarantee that he would really tolerate it.

King Xuan knew that the emperor was looking for her, so he dared to have more to do with her?

Shen Gu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said in a joking tone: "I have been wise enough to protect myself for so many years, but I am willing to hide you in my house. What do I want?"

He laughed at himself again: "Maybe it was because the emperor discovered the picture, and he became suspicious of me from then on."

Jiang Qingyue frowned and said, "If King Xuan is in trouble, I..."

"You won't be able to hide for too long. Sooner or later, he will turn Jinling City upside down and even search the princess's palace. Do you still need me here? Where can you hide after you leave my palace, Prince Xuan?"

Shen Gu looked into her eyes and said seriously: "If you want to stay in Jinling City and don't want to be entangled with him anymore, Princess Xuan's identity is your best talisman."

Jiang Qingyue looked back at him in disbelief.

After looking at him for a long time, I was convinced from his firm eyes that he was really not joking.

"Are you betting on his brotherhood for you, or on his humanity?"

If he wins the bet, it will be a risky move that has no benefit to him. If he loses, his wealth and life will be ruined.

Shen Gu said, "Jiang Qingyue, you are not that important to him. He will not do something like robbing his sister-in-law for you, which will be infamy for thousands of years."

Jiang Qingyue smiled awkwardly: "You won't help me to this extent."

What could he possibly want?

Shen Gu said: "Because you are so important to me."

Jiang Qingyue was stunned, with a smile frozen on her face.

He said this calmly, as if he said it casually and it didn't matter.

Is he talking nonsense?

But other than that, what other reason would make him make such a suggestion at this time?

In the past, she only regarded him as the younger brother of Shu Ning and Shen Xiao, a very interesting younger brother. She had never thought of him...

Shen Gu moved his eyes back to the chessboard and made a move.

"After we get married, if you want to travel around the mountains and rivers, I will accompany you. If you want to live with your father, I will move in with your father-in-law. Prince Xuan's Mansion will never trap you. You are just a follower."

"As for the revenge you want, I will do my best to help you."

"You need time to think about whether to take this step or not. I'll wait."

Jiang Qingyue coughed twice and changed the subject: "Let's play chess."
-
Jiang Qingyue was still moved by the sentence "I will try my best to help you if you want to take revenge."

Shen Xiao's eyes and ears are everywhere in Jinling City, and she dare not use people from Xichang in the city to avoid being exposed.

Her movements are currently limited, and what she can do is even more limited.

Even Shu Ning was imprisoned in the palace in disguise by Shen Xiao.

If someone can help her at this time, it would be the best if this person is still important.

It's just that this step of becoming Princess Xuan is too risky.Before making a decision, Jiang Qingyue deliberately avoided Shen Gu for many days.

Shen Gu did not come to see her, but told his servants to take good care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Until the emperor announced to the world Zhang Shuting's intention to be promoted to a noble concubine.

Jiang Qingyue couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to find Shen Gu.

"You must get the emperor's consent to marry the princess. How are you going to do it?"

Shen Gu was impatient, so he immediately entered the palace, rushed to the emperor, and said bluntly:

"Brother, I want to marry a princess."

Shen Xiao was slightly surprised, "Why did you suddenly become enlightened?"

The twelfth brother had been wandering around for so many years, and Shen Xiao once persuaded him to get a wife, but he refused on the grounds that he "didn't want to be restrained or tied to others."

Shen Gu looked sincere and fascinated: "That woman is really good-looking."

It is common for gentlemen to be courteous.

Shen Xiao smiled helplessly and asked one more question, "Which family is the girl from?"

Shen Gu scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly: "Everyone else looks down on her family background. Can my brother not ask? Just allow me to marry her."

After saying this, Shen Xiao understood that she was probably a girl from a small family, or even a place like Fireworks and Willow Alley, with an unattractive life experience.

He was not an unreasonable person, so he said matter-of-factly: "I give you a decree, allowing you to choose your own marriage without asking me for instructions."

In this way, no matter how outrageous the official wife King Xuan married, it was King Xuan's own business.

Shen Gu watched him write the decree on the bright yellow auspicious clouds and auspicious crane brocade, and he was overjoyed to accept the decree and thank him.

"Thank you, brother!"

Shen Xiao's eyelids twitched inexplicably, but he just thought he was tired and said: "After getting married, you can't do any more nonsense, and have children with the princess."

"Yes!"

"Let's go back."

After his twelfth brother left, Shen Xiao sat alone in the hall to rest for a while. Someone came and asked, "Is there any news?"

"Back to the Emperor, I haven't found it yet."

"Keep looking," Shen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Men in the city should also pay attention, she might be disguised as a man."

"Yes."
-
On the eve of the wedding, Jiang Qingyue heard the news that Sun Hongling was named the Madam of Zhenguo.

These false reputations can at best make Sun Hongling famous for a while.

The higher you lift it, the harder it falls.

Jiang Qingyue said nothing.

In front of her was the wedding dress prepared by Shen Gu himself. Her fingers gently touched the phoenix embroidered with gold thread on it, and she couldn't help but think of the wedding dress that she couldn't put on.

This one is much more exquisite and luxurious than the one back then.

Shen Gu looked at the flash of sadness in her eyes and said teasingly: "If you don't show up, he might be the next one to be awarded the title of Marquis of Yongchang."

They all could see clearly that Shen Xiao was nothing more than threatening her.

These few canonizations told her that if she didn't return to the palace, not only would she not be able to take revenge, but the people she hated would also climb up the ladder step by step and enjoy all the glory.

Shen Gu was also very surprised that the emperor's brother actually did such a childish and stupid thing. Maybe the emperor's brother was really at his wits' end and did it knowingly.

But isn't this counterproductive?
"It's coming soon," Jiang Qingyue said, "I have to go to the palace to see you the day after the wedding."

The smile on Shen Gu's lips deepened: "I'm looking forward to it."

He has been "settled" for so many years, and this is probably the craziest and most desperate time for him.
