Daughter of General

Chapter 176

When the saint was so angry, not only Shen Yulan was trembling, but the eunuch named Ping An also knelt down at once, admonishing him again and again: "Please calm down, the saint! The saint loves the dragon's body!"

Shen Yulan naturally kowtowed again and again to make amends: "The sage calm down, it's the girl who is arrogant and ignorant, please ask the sage not to spoil the dragon's body because of the girl. Otherwise, the girl will die forever!"

"Since you know you are wrong, let me ask you, are you willing to repent!" The saint, however, was unwilling to let go, with a somewhat stubborn look, and he would not give up until Shen Yulan pleaded guilty.

Shen Yulan was a little dumbfounded, thought about it, hesitated for a moment but still shook her head firmly: "My little girl said just now, every word is from my heart. My little girl knows that these are all treasonous words, but my little girl is still a selfish hope. The sage is very merciful, and let the little girl be unrestrained this time."

"You relied on your father's meritorious service to the court, and you actually want to coerce me?" The saint sneered, and he didn't know what to throw, and made a big noise.

Shen Yulan didn't dare to raise her head, and only admitted her mistake in trepidation: "My little girl dare not! The sage calm down!"

"Then what do you mean?" the saint demanded.

Shen Yulan only felt a headache and helplessness, but she could only continue to insist: "This is just my little girl's wishful thinking! I don't dare to ask for favors."

"Then why do you think that I will fulfill you?" The saint asked again, his tone still the most unhappy.

Shen Yulan smiled wryly: "The little girl just doesn't want to deceive the saint, and she also thinks that the saint is a benevolent person, so she has the courage to say what she thinks in her heart."

"Hmph, why are you talking about why you can't tolerate others? Could it be that if your husband takes a concubine, you will suffer? You are a regular wife, who would dare to spoil your wife and destroy your concubine?" The saint still had lingering anger, but But it was better than before.

Shen Yulan breathed a sigh of relief, and after a while of words in her mind, she spoke eloquently: "It's not that I'm afraid of doting on my wife and destroying my concubine, let alone being afraid of losing anything. It's just that my little girl feels that if a man and a woman are monogamous, it will definitely make people happy. The back house is more peaceful and stable, and a person's energy is limited. If you spend too much experience on the back house, you will inevitably have less energy for other things. But what if the back house is stable? If the back house is stable, men also If you can work and handle official duties with peace of mind, you will be more efficient. Besides, the back house is peaceful and peaceful, and the men can be more warm and happy when they go home. When they do things naturally, they will be more efficient. Treating people and doing things outside It’s even better. It’s all a chain reaction. On the contrary, if the family is unstable and the atmosphere is not harmonious, men are bound to worry about it, and when they start things, it may affect efficiency. When you go out and meet friends, Not to mention complaining, your temper may become more and more gloomy and irritable. This is naturally not conducive to handling official duties and dealing with people. "

"But in other people's homes, even if they have wives and concubines, they can still be safe, peaceful and quiet. Why can't it be changed by you?" The saint snorted coldly, quite dissatisfied.

Shen Yulan sighed: "No matter how magnanimous a person is, there will always be times when he is stingy. As a woman, who really wants to share her husband with others? It's just that some people have an open-minded personality, can be open-minded, and can suppress their inner feelings. Suffering. The little girl knows herself, and the little girl is definitely not that kind of magnanimous person. Even if she reluctantly endures it, she can only endure it for a while, and one day, it will explode. Therefore, this is also a helpless thing. If you don’t want to Deceitful king, why should my little girl say such petty things in front of a saint?"

The saint seemed to be amused by the anger: "So, you are honest. Others are putting on airs and pretending to be generous."

Shen Yulan choked suddenly - didn't this make her offend someone?She couldn't bear such a big hat.So he quickly denied it: "My daughter doesn't mean that. It's just that my daughter grew up in the countryside and is used to living as a husband and wife without wives and concubines. She doesn't know how to serve her husband with other women, so she can't accept it." That's all. Speaking of it, the little girl is not good enough. Where is it that others are putting on airs? Besides, in the matter of honesty, the little girl actually dare not lie. I am afraid that in the future, the emperor will set me up for the crime of deceiving the emperor. "

To be honest, talking like this is really not ordinary tiring——Shen Yulan really admires that peace.If it was her who had served in front of the saint all day long, she would have collapsed a long time ago.This is neither horizontal nor vertical, she is wrong no matter what, it really makes her a little unbearable.

I don't know which sentence won the favor of the sage, but the sage suddenly said: "You are very straightforward, but it's a pity that my sons, who are about the same age as you, are all married. Otherwise, I can let you be our daughter-in-law."

Shen Yulan was frightened several times today, but she was used to it by now, so she was not frightened.In addition, the sage will also say-isn't this unsuitable?Therefore, she and I did not show panic, but continued to be modest and flattering: "The sage praised me, how can the little girl be worthy of the princes?"

"But you are not young anymore. Now that there is no marriage, how can this be good?" The saint said this half-jokingly, and the meaning inside and outside the words was to refer to the intention of marriage.

Shen Yulan didn't know how to respond - it was obviously inappropriate to directly refuse, wouldn't that directly embarrass the saint?But if you really let things go on like this, what if you are really accused of marriage?
After thinking about it, Shen Yulan blinked her eyes, and said deliberately: "As long as you don't take concubines and have a good character, the little girl can only rely on the saint."

Anyway, there is only one condition for not taking concubines, which is to remove these so-called marriage candidates.At the beginning, she chose for so long, but she couldn't choose the right one.At this moment, can the saint still be chosen?It's good if she really got the choice, so she won't have to worry about it, right?

The sage seemed really stumped, and laughed dumbly: "You little girl, you are greedy. If there is such a good thing, I still have a few daughters who are not married."

Shen Yulan snickered in her heart—it deserves it.Let you mind your own business.

The matter of referring to marriage is nothing.The saint asked a few more questions about the fire in the temple and the bandits, and asked Ping An to send Shen Yulan out of the palace in person.

The eunuch sent Shen Yulan out of the gate of the palace safely, and said with a smile: "The saint likes your temperament very much, and your temper is like a princess, so you don't have to worry about it. No way, I will let you enter the palace next time." .”

Shen Yulan smiled wryly in her heart, she was terrified enough once, but she couldn't bear it again.But on the surface, he thanked Na Pingan earnestly: "Thank you, father-in-law, for your reminder."

The eunuch Ping An smiled, then took his leave and turned back to Qingliang Palace.

Shen Yulan herself also got into the carriage and prepared to go home.Unexpectedly, the carriage was stopped just after walking for a while.Zi Su raised her voice and asked what happened.

But I heard Qi Yuzhou's voice: "It's me."

When Shen Yulan heard the sound, she was right next to the window. She opened the curtain and looked out through the carved lattice window.Sure enough, he saw Qi Yuzhou standing beside him leading the horse.

Qi Yuzhou seemed to have something to say to her, so he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it convenient?"

Shen Yulan hesitated for a moment, then asked Zisu to sit outside, and then asked Qi Yuzhou to get into the car.

Qi Yuzhou was wearing armor, as if he had just come out of the palace, Shen Yulan asked, "Why did you come out all of a sudden?"

"Well, the shift has changed. I was on duty last night." After Qi Yuzhou finished speaking, he turned his head and yawned, put his hands behind his head as a pillow, squinted his eyes and leaned on the carriage to rest, feeling comfortable and at ease: "Why? Have you entered the palace today?"

Shen Yulan also leaned on the soft pillow, found a comfortable position to lean on: "Well, I'm exhausted."

"What's the matter?" Qi Yuzhou asked casually.

Shen Yulan had nothing to hide, so she answered with a smile and tears: "It's not that matter. The Gu family is begging for marriage, and there are a few princes who are tossing around to join in. The saint asked me to enter the palace today, just to ask this. It's not that my father still has merit, and now he's working hard at the border, I'm afraid it's not my turn to make a choice. If so, I think it will make the saint feel uncomfortable. But, to be honest, you say this Saint, are you really so free?"

"It's not idle." Qi Yuzhou didn't even open his eyes, and softly analyzed for Shen Yulan: "Think about it, the Shen family now controls the military power, and it's not just a civil servant with two mouths. The saint is getting old, and his health is not getting better every day. One day, there were several sons who were both strong and ambitious. If one of them was not properly handled, something might happen. The sage himself wanted to preserve his strength and pave the way for his beloved son—— You have to balance the other sons. Think about it, how much thought and experience it takes to go through it? How is it like walking on thin ice? The Shen family has such a great effect, the sage does not want others to use in-laws to win over your father. Your sister promised to the Ninth Prince , your cousin married the Gu family again. The Ninth Prince is loved by the sage, and the Gu family is also trusted and loved by the sage. If you really marry into the Gu family, it is almost certain that the Shen family will not violate the sage's mind in the future. But now, Who knew such a thing would happen—”

The more Shen Yulan listened, the more she couldn't help but widen her eyes, and finally her heart was so shocked that it almost went blank.She suddenly came up with a weird idea: According to Qi Yuzhou's analysis, could it be that the fact that she failed to marry Gu Meng was not just Shen Yushan and Guo's idea?Or maybe someone else was involved?

For profit, nothing is impossible.Has the competition among the several princes spread over?And she is that poor victim?
This is quite possible.Is not it?
