Chapter 160 Loyal and Filial Pairs?not worth it!

He stayed with Lin Zimo outside, met King Rong again, and finished washing in the study.When Shen Cangyu returned to her room, it was already dark, Luo Chuchen looked around, and it was already midnight (after eight o'clock in the evening).At this point, you can go to bed after eating dinner early! !

——But Shen Cangyu just came back! !
On the fourth day of the wedding, the wedding leave has just ended, and Chuchu came back at this hour... How dissatisfied is Shen Cangyu with their marriage?I just used the method of 'returning late' to express my unwillingness to go home when I just got to work! !

Of course, Luo Chuchen knew that at the beginning of their wedding, she and Shen Cangyu got along very happily.With Shen Cangyu's thoughts towards her, it is impossible for him to be dissatisfied!It should be because there are important things to do, so I will return late.but……

Knowing is knowing.The anger is not going well. Today, whether she was beaten in Duan Xiurong Palace or cried at Luo Chujing's place, she was full of anger, but there was nowhere to let it go.It just so happened that Shen Cangyu came back late...

Now that he is a husband, besides cleaning up the leftovers, of course he has to act as a punching bag! !
— Otherwise, why would you want him!

"Chen'er..." Fortunately, although Shen Cangyu has no 'experience' in being such a husband, she can still judge people's happiness or anger based on their facial expressions.Seeing that Luo Chuchen's face was expressionless, but the corners of his brows and eyes were gloomy, he remembered what King Rong said, that she accompanied Concubine Xu Ji into the palace to meet Duan Xiurong...

Shen Cangyu has never seen Duan Xiurong before, after all, he is a concubine in the palace, even if he is an elder, as a foreigner, it is not easy to see him.But from Concubine Xu's occasional words and the news she got from calling Chang'an King, Shen Cangyu knew that she was not a person easy to deal with.Shrewd and powerful, but also loves to play the trick of equal emphasis on grace and power.Regarding this, Lin Zimo's mother had complained to him countless times.

As the general's wife, she is also a 'proton'.The Lin family—whether it is Grandmother Lin or Mother Lin, as a married woman, they all have to go to the palace to pay homage.The objects of worship are, of course, the Empress Dowager Pei and the Empress.However, because Lin Zimo is the 'one party' of King Chang'an.Grandmother Lin and Mother Lin would occasionally go to Yurong Palace to meet Duan Xiurong...

So, taking it for granted, the two of them were 'tricked' by Duan Xiurong.As a veteran princess of the clan, she has also been involved in the killing field. Grandma Lin has never seen anything. Duan Xiurong's tricks in front of her are nothing more than children's tricks, and she doesn't take them seriously.

But... the toad crawls on the feet, it doesn't bite people, it responds to people... Looking at Luo Chuchen's gloomy face and irritable little eyes, Shen Cangyu can conclude that their family Chen'er is probably not uncommon. Duan Xiurong responded!
"Chen'er, I was wrong, I shouldn't have come back so late. It's just that my friend... you should know, is Lin Zimo. He is a good brother I have known since childhood. But, he is a big man in his twenties. I can't marry a wife now. I asked several ladies, but they were all rejected mercilessly. Today, it was the fourth time he was rejected this year. I felt very uncomfortable, so I had some drinks with him Wine, talk to comfort..."

A dead fellow Taoist will never die a poor Taoist.Shen Cangyu betrayed her 'friend' without hesitation, and used her friend's tragic experience to make her daughter-in-law smile, "This year is only halfway through, and Zimo was kicked four times in a row, which is a bit tragic."

"Although you are just married to Chen'er, I know you should come back sooner, but... well, after all, I have been a friend since I was a child, and seeing him so miserable, I can't leave early!" Shen Cangyu clasped his hands together, flattering him smiling.

Although he used to think that he would rather die than surrender, and Emperor Yongping wanted to suppress him, he would try his best to retaliate, stir up the discord between his children and grandchildren, and fight constantly... But, a daughter-in-law is different.

Bow your head in front of your daughter-in-law, that's not called bowing your head, that's called fun! !

"Cut, you!" Luo Chuchen didn't really want to quarrel with Shen Cangyu, but just joked a few words casually to relieve his anger. She is not an unreasonable person. Shen Cangyu has such a low profile, how can she Will you not let me go?Standing up, she reached out and patted the non-existent dust on Shen Cangyu's clothes. She took the initiative to say that she had uncovered the problem, "What? Did you drink outside? How much did you drink?"

"Not much!" Shen Cangyu quickly replied.Although...he drank a lot, but he was still very clever and didn't tell the truth, "It's just that I had a few drinks with Zimo, just to meet the scene."

"Zimo? When we first met? The one who guarded the door for you?" Luo Chuchen tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally dug out the information about Lin Zimo from the depths of his memory.

When she and Shen Cangyu negotiated for the first time in the small house in Suotou Hutong, it seemed that Lin Zimo had guarded the door.At that time, although he didn't say a word, Luo Chuchen still remembered him!

After all, Lin Zimo was outstanding both in appearance and temperament.

"That's right, it's him." Shen Cangyu nodded, and said in a low voice, "When I have time later, I'll bring him to meet you!"

"Success, you arrange a time then!" Luo Chuchen smiled, but did not refuse.Now that she is married to Shen Cangyu, she naturally wants to live a good life. If Shen Cangyu is willing to introduce her friend to her, then she will naturally accept and agree with her. She is too happy to be happy.How could you refuse?
In the room, the two chatted a few words.Knowing that in order to accompany Lin Zimo, Shen Cangyu didn't make good use of the dinner, only took a few bites, and spent the rest of his time on drinking.Luo Chuchen hurriedly called Danqing and told her to send someone to the big kitchen to prepare some supper.

"You don't need too many things, just light ones. It's getting late, and eating too much greasy food won't melt at night." Luo Chuchen explained.

"Understood." Dan Qing nodded in response.He didn't send anyone, so he walked away and went to the big kitchen in person.

Hearing Luo Chuchen's words, he refused the big kitchen's offer of a table of dishes.Danqing only brought back four dishes and one soup, and put them on the small kang table. Luo Chuchen accompanied Shen Cangyu, and both of them used some.

After entering the palace, he was angry and stayed with Luo Chujing for a whole afternoon of sadness. Luo Chuchen's dinner was useless, after all, he was unhappy and had no appetite, so he was really hungry at the moment.Seeing the incense Shen Cangyu used, Luo Chuchen even ate some with him.

After supper, Luo Chuchen leaned beside the imperial concubine, stringing beads while digesting food, while Shen Cangyu sat at the desk, reading and practicing calligraphy, neither of them disturbed the other, the room was very quiet, but the atmosphere was very harmonious.

——Under the dim light, there is even a warm feeling.

After finishing his food, thinking that Shen Cangyu would get up early to go to court tomorrow, Luo Chuchen looked up a little bit, and found that it was getting late, so he said, "Don't look, go to bed early!"

Calling the maid, they simply washed up. The two of them changed into pajamas and put down the curtains at the head of the bed. The small Babu bed instantly became a closed world.

-Dark and full of security.

After a busy day, Luo Chuchen was also very tired, leaning against Shen Cangyu's arms, ready to fall asleep.It's just... as soon as she closes her eyes, she can think of Luo Chujing's desperate and crazy eyes in the East Palace, and it seems that she is still ringing in her ears, crying for help...

"Oh." With a long sigh, she turned over.Close your eyes tightly, ready to expel the picture in your mind, but after trying for a long time, all failed in the end.

Luo Chujing's originally bright eyes, but now full of sadness, seemed to be imprinted in her mind, lingering.

"Chen'er, what's wrong with you? Can't sleep?" The person next to the pillow turned over frequently and sighed, Shen Cangyu didn't fall asleep, how could he not feel it, "When I entered the palace today... I was wronged by Duan Xiurong?"

Never thought about what Luo Chuchen would encounter in the East Palace... After all, Wang Rong said earlier that she had never met the prince, so Shen Cangyu only guessed that Chen'er was annoyed because of Duan Xiurong, "She is used to this, Chen'er, don't take it to heart."

"Duan Xiurong, hehe..." Hearing Shen Cangyu mention Duan Xiurong, Luo Chuchen forgot about Luo Chujing for a while, and leaned into Shen Cangyu's arms, a sneer appeared on her lips, and said ironically: "You don't mention me?" Forget about her, Cang Yu, do you know how that part of grooming was done in Yurong Palace today?"

In Yurong Palace, Duan Xiurong picked Concubine Xu Ji to be the spearman, so he was so busy that he slapped her and gave her Tianzao. At the end, he said with disdain: "That's Xu Well, it is impossible for Duan Xiurong to be so picky if you change someone. I am very happy to be used as a gun. If you haven't seen her attitude towards me, it is called complacency. "

This is what Xu Jifei said to Luo Chuchen when the two left Yurong Palace, "You don't know, when Mrs. Xu said those words, the daughter of the palace who followed us Duan Xiurong's face was blue Now, if it wasn't for my fear that Duan Xiurong would know what Xu said, and she would think of ways to beat me up in the future, I would hate to have to stop that palace daughter and let her report the truth when she returns to Yurong Palace, so that Duan Xiurong wouldn't know Knowing that her 'sister cicada' is focused on tearing her down, what kind of expression will she have!!"

Feeling aggrieved in his heart, facing Xu Jifei, Luo Chuchen stopped calling her 'mother, mother concubine', and only called her 'Xu Shi' very straightforwardly, while Shen Cangyu... Hehe, of course he has no opinion on this.

In fact, if it wasn't for respecting Prince Rong, Shen Cangyu would have wanted to call Concubine Xu Jifei "that fool" after all, thinking that Concubine Xu was still the legitimate wife of his father! !
"Duan Xiurong's temperament is like this. No matter who he is, he always plays the same old routine. He thinks his methods are superb. In fact...hehe, who doesn't seem to be able to tell." Shen Cangyu pursed her lips, so comforting in her mouth.But my heart is actually not comfortable.

He liked Luo Chuchen and married her.It was to bring her a happy life. Like now, the majestic prince and concubine was toyed with in the palm of his hand by a mere fourth-grade groomer in the palace, and he did it wantonly... To put it bluntly, it was not because of his insufficient status. ?
If it was changed to a prince with real power in the clan, or even just a female family member of a powerful minister's family in the court, would Duan Xiurong dare to act so unabashedly and blatantly?
Even if she still wanted to woo her, she would probably use more tactful methods instead of showing her power so straightforwardly, "You don't need to take this matter to heart, just pretend you didn't hear it. If you are really angry, In the future, I will have myself..." to avenge you! !
In the curtain of the bed where she couldn't see her fingers, Shen Cangyu's eyes were shining brightly, she stretched out her arms to hug Luo Chuchen, and held her tightly in his arms. He comforted her in a low voice and promised so.

"Come on, I don't pay attention to Duan Xiurong's tricks at all. I know it clearly in my heart, and I can even guess what she thinks and says... What else is there to be angry about?" Luo Chuchen shook his head with a low smile.As for Duan Xiurong, she was just a little aggrieved when she was caught in a "routine", but when she figured it out later, she naturally calmed down.

After all, it's useless to be angry, she is a concubine with a favored son, and she is a minister's wife, and has no ability to fight back, so why waste that energy!

"I've lost my temper a long time ago, so don't take it to heart. King Chang'an has gained power recently, and he is very prestigious in the court. Don't provoke him, so as not to cause trouble." Luo Chuchen urged.

Naturally, she didn't have the slightest affection for the Shen family, but Luo Chuchen was still very concerned about Shen Cangyu.Knowing the embarrassing status of Prince Rong's House in the clan, it is not easy for Shen Cangyu to achieve what he is today, and Luo Chuchen is also unwilling to destroy his "result of hard work" just for the slightest thing.

Don't you just get annoyed?What's the matter?Before her soul was revived, she suffered a lot in Anling Marquis Mansion. Later, when she was revived and entered the mansion as an outsider girl, she was often gossiped. If she really cared about every word, would she be in a hurry? ?

"You don't have to worry about this...Chen'er, I know it well. It's just..." Shen Cangyu pondered, and asked with a puzzled voice: "You are not depressed because of Duan Xiurong. How can you toss and turn and sleep peacefully?" Can't you?"

He didn't feel wrong, within half a stick of incense, Chen'er was indeed on the ground, turned over at least seven or eight times, sighed three or five times... Isn't this a concrete sign that something is wrong in his heart?But don't tell him it's simply insomnia!
"I... well, it's true that something is on my mind and I can't sleep. But it's not because of Duan Xiurong, but..." Luo Chuchen hesitated.

Luo Chuchen really considered whether to tell Shen Cangyu about the matter of the East Palace. She was sure that Shen Cangyu knew about the absurdity of the prince.After all, he was the one who told her about Luo Chujing.It's just... the prince is a twin, hooked up with Emperor Yongping's concubine, and even had an affair with the minister's son. Whether Shen Cangyu knew about this matter, Luo Chuchen didn't know about it.

However, she still knew that in order to win the heir, the crown prince and the king of Chang'an were now fighting fiercely, and Shen Cangyu was at this juncture to decide which faction to join.The prince's matter should have a very important effect on his decision.Even if this would expose the privacy that Luo Chujing didn't want to be private, Luo Chuchen still had to be selfish and make choices for her husband.

"I'm in a bad mood today..." She paused, hearing Shen Cangyu's low and elegant 'Huh? ’ Sheng Xun asked, his heart sank, and he simply said: "It is because of my sixth cousin, Luo Chujing, who is a side concubine in the East Palace."

"Her past... I don't need to say too much, I think you know it well, didn't you tell me back then?" Pursing her lips, she whispered: "The prince is eccentric, he only loves children, my sixth cousin After entering the Eastern Palace, she suffered a lot. She was young, and she was loved by her parents at home, so she was not that tough. I went to see her today, and I think I saw my relatives, so I couldn't help it..."

The prince's scandal - no matter how many people secretly know about it.But on the surface, if you hear a little bit, it's a damn sin.Like Luo Chujing's behavior today, to put it mildly, she couldn't stand it and collapsed and cried to her relatives.But on a bigger scale, if someone was not careful and was heard by the servants and told the crown princess, then Luo Chuchen would not be able to get away so easily.

Knowing the secret of the prince, and knowing so much.What hooked up with his father and concubine, the son of a promiscuous minister... Such news is enough to silence Luo Chuchen.

No matter how disregarded, he didn't care about the safety of his cousin at all, so he dared to cry and make the matter public.Luo Chuchen felt sorry for his cousin and knew that she had no bad intentions, but she just collapsed under the pressure, but as far as Shen Cangyu was concerned, Luo Chujing put his daughter-in-law in danger.

In order for her husband and cousin to get along well, and not to leave a bad impression without meeting each other, Luo Chuchen carefully exaggerated Luo Chujing's "mental state" a lot, and focused on how difficult it was for her to be in the East Palace and to be under the prince's hands. How hard... Then, I got to the point.

"The prince is really not a thing. My sixth younger sister told me that the prince is not only eccentric and lustful, but also, as you said, he only occasionally abuses and kills people in the palace... He is extremely wanton in the East Palace, not only lewd, but also all over the palace. , Even those handsome little eunuchs will not be spared. And it is extremely disgusting. He used to bring three or four concubines and two personal eunuchs to hang out in the study... Even the crown princess was specially arranged by him The next person..."

"More than that, in the harem, he and Emperor Yongping's concubines are not clear. Cang Yu, do you remember? Not long ago, in the harem, wasn't a changer surnamed Song who died of illness? Listen Chu Jing said that the woman was forced by the crown prince, and then committed suicide."

"... Zhao Meiren, Qian Xiaoyi, Zhou promised... These low-ranking concubines have all colluded with the crown prince. Those who have no names and surnames, there are even more! Moreover, not only the harem, but even the former court... ..."

"Ahem, the crown prince seems to have a hobby of breaking sleeves, men and women are not rejected. He also has a good friend in court... Do you remember that I once told you that when I was in my boudoir, I was with my second sister who lived in my yard. Is it a good thing?"

"Her husband is Xu Rongcheng, the son of Xu Shangshu from the household department. He is a bastard at all. He is messing with his cousin. Not to mention Lun, he also wants to borrow my second sister's belly to have a child, and he wants to put her to death. My second sister found out and said I simply returned it to Ning. But who knows, the sixth younger sister told me today that the crown prince had an affair with the man surnamed Xu... She said that she had personally seen Xu Rongcheng and the crown prince hanging out together..."

Luo Chuchen raised his elbows indignantly, stood up and opened the curtain.The moonlight came in and shone on Shen Cangyu's calm face.She frowned slightly, and said, "Cangyu, I don't really understand what happened to you outside the court. But how can a prince with such a character be worthy of being the king of a country? I know that you are able to become an official because of the prince's strength." I really don’t believe that Emperor Yongping can let him sit on the throne of the future monarch safely?”

"It's not that he doesn't have any sons anymore, there is still King Chang'an eyeing him! How could Emperor Yongping pass the throne to such a prince? Are you afraid that the country will not perish?" Luo Chuchen pursed his lips, hesitated, but finally said: " No matter what your plans are about the matter in the court... logically I shouldn't speak up, but the prince... you should give up, he is not worthy of your allegiance."
