Chapter 407 The Grandfather and Grandson Night Talk
After returning to the room, Shen Chuhan reluctantly let go of Song Qinghuan after a long time of lingering.

Song Qinghuan's face was flushed red, her clothes were disheveled, and Qiushui looked at Shen Chuhan calmly, panting delicately, "You...it's broad daylight, what if someone sees it?"

Shen Chuhan chuckled, looking at her sparkling eyes, "Who dares to come in the courtyard where I'm staying?" He put his arms around her waist again, and pressed against her chest, warm breath spraying on her earlobes "Since Ah Wan is shy, I'll let you off for now, and we'll talk about it tonight."

Song Qinghuan knew that she couldn't talk to him, so she gave up, glared at him, and said bitterly, "Various jealousy!"

Shen Chuhan was able to kiss Fangze just now, and at this time he was in a very happy mood, "Haha" smiled, "Since Ah Wan knows that I am a big jealous, you must remember what I just said, don't laugh at other men casually."

Song Qinghuan pushed his chest with his hands, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes flickered, his eyes fell on his swollen abdomen, and he said with a smile, "Ashu, if my baby is a little prince, what will you do?"

"How do I treat?" Shen Chuhan was startled for a moment, and then understood the coldness of her sudden words, the corners of his lips curled up, and he smiled flirtatiously, "So what about the little prince? I will eat the jealousy that should be eaten, and he will eat it the most." It’s good to be a little more interesting.”

Song Qinghuan was completely dumbfounded.

She was worried when she was worried before. With Shen Chuhan's domineering temperament, she would usually feel displeased when she was even slightly close to others, so now she wouldn't even be jealous of her own child, would she?Fortunately, after Youyou gave birth, her worries did not happen, and Shen Chuhan was very happy about Youyou.But now it seems that if she gives birth to a boy, this kind of jealousy will be inevitable.

She looked at him helplessly, and seeing his upright appearance, she was both angry and funny, and after a while she said helplessly, "You..."

Shen Chuhan frowned, "Ah Wan has known me for a long time, and I believe she also understands my temperament. So for people like Xiao Zhen and Xiao Nan, Ah Wan shouldn't smile at them anymore."

He had a rascal face, and he spoke seriously, Song Qinghuan had nothing to do with him, so he had no choice but to agree.

At this moment, Shen Xing's voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Empress Dowager is here."

Song Qinghuan looked towards the door, straightened out the messy clothes, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with her appearance, Fang asked Shen Xing to invite Xiao Lingyi in.

"Mother's Queen." Seeing Xiao Lingyi's figure appearing at the door, Song Qing welcomes her forward and helps Xiao Lingyi in.

"Did the queen mother sleep well?" Song Qing asked with a smile.

Xiao Lingyi nodded. It was strange to say that she had clearly never been to the Xiao family's old house, and she usually had a couch-loving temperament, but she had just had a lunch break and slept very well, as if a long-hanging heart suddenly fell down. , I felt unprecedentedly at ease in my heart.

In fact, she wanted to go to Xiao Wang and Xiao Yushi at first, but when she thought of Shen Chuhan's attitude just now, she knew that he was venting her anger for herself and it would not be good to embarrass him, so she restrained herself.Originally, I wanted to read a book and meditate, but I didn't expect to fall asleep after reading it.

"I heard that you guys just went out for a walk?" Xiao Lingyi sat down at the table, looked at Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan and asked with a smile.

Shen Chuhan nodded, "Go out for a casual walk, and see that the mother is taking a lunch break, so I didn't bother you."

Xiao Lingyi said "hmm" and paused slightly, "How is it?"

"The scenery in the mansion is good." Shen Chuhan said warmly, "I also saw Xiao Zhen and Xiao Nan." Seeing Xiao Lingyi showing a little interest, Shen Chuhan added, "Both of them are malleable talents. Xiao Nan went to work under Ah Zhuo's command."

Xiao Lingyi was obviously a little surprised, her eyes widened and she said, "Xiao Nan is going to Ah Zhuo's place? Will he be willing?"

Song Qinghuan took over the conversation, "He wanted to join the army, so Ashu suggested this to him, and Xiao Nan happily agreed." She didn't realize it, but her words were full of protection for Shen Chuhan, as if she was afraid Because of this, Xiao Lingyi was generally dissatisfied with Shen Chuhan.

Xiao Lingyi couldn't help laughing, and looked at Song Qinghuan with narrowed eyes, "Huan'er, I know, Shu'er must have his reasons for doing this, and he won't let Xiao Nan go to Chongzhou for no reason."

Only then did Song Qinghuan realize that her tone of voice had become a little eager, so she smiled embarrassedly and stopped talking.

"My queen, I will talk to my grandfather about this matter again. You don't have to worry. If my grandfather disagrees, I won't force it."

Xiao Lingyi nodded, "You can do what you see." She was always at ease when Shen Chuhan was doing things, and it was just a casual question just now.

"The empress...does she feel okay when she comes back?" After a moment of silence, Shen Chuhan spoke again.

Xiao Lingyi was silent for a moment, her brows and eyes were as clear as water, her eyes wandered out of the window, and a faint smile bloomed from the corner of her mouth, "Shu'er, parents, they didn't blame me."

Shen Chuhan's heart tightened slightly, he frowned and looked at Xiao Lingyi.

What happened back then was not her fault, but she worried about it every day, which inevitably made Shen Chuhan feel panicked for her.But looking at her eyebrows and eyes at this time, the depression that lingered in the past few days seems to have dissipated a lot, it seems that today's visit to Xiao's mansion is the right one.

"The queen mother has thought about it a lot. Grandfather and grandmother will naturally understand your difficulties." Now that she had figured it out, the comfort she said now seemed pale.

"Yes, mother, I think my grandfather's family are very good people. If my grandfather is willing, Ashu would like to invite my grandfather's family to return to Lindu." Not only Xiao Wang, but also the entire Xiao family.

Although Shen Chuhan didn't say it clearly, Song Qinghuan knew what he meant, and he said it now, just to make Xiao Lingyi feel more at ease.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Xiao Lingyi's eyes lit up, and she stared closely at Shen Chuhan, "Shu'er?"

Shen Chuhan nodded, "If my grandfather is willing, I do have this idea. Then, the queen mother will be able to see them often."

The tip of Xiao Lingyi's raised eyebrows suddenly fell, there was a flash of light in his eyes, and he was excited for a moment, but he didn't know what to say.

Song Qing smiled happily, knowing that Xiao Lingyi's mood was too ups and downs today, she was not in a hurry to ask her to say anything, raised her hand and poured a cup of tea and handed it over, "Mother, drink first."

Xiao Lingyi took a sip of the teacup, and the excitement in her body really calmed down a bit. She looked at Shen Chuhan and Xiao Lingyi, with a soft luster in her eyes, "Shu'er, Huan'er, thank you."

Song Qinghuan chuckled, "The queen mother is too polite, your business is the business of me and Ashu. Besides, if my grandfather's family really enters Beijing, it will be of great help to Ashu, right?"

Shen Chuhan echoed.

At this time, there were footsteps outside the door. Song Qinghuan glanced at the sky outside the window and guessed that it was time for dinner.

Sure enough, the person who came was the maid sent by Xiao Wang to invite them to dinner.

Song Qinghuan agreed, tidied things up a bit, and they followed the maid to the front hall.

When we arrived at the main hall, the members of the Xiao family had already arrived. Seeing them coming, we got up and saluted.

Shen Chuhan still had a calm expression, "We are all a family, so there is no need to be too polite, let's do it all." Seeing that Xiao Lingyi was in a good mood because of the Xiao family, the coldness on his face at this time also eased a little.

Everyone took their seats one after another, and soon a steady stream of delicacies were served.

When the dishes were ready, Xiao Wang glanced at Shen Chuhan and signaled for everyone to start eating.

The Xiao family is a family of Zanying poetry and etiquette, so they value etiquette very much, and they pay attention to eating without talking or sleeping, so after a meal, no one talks.

Shen Chuhan also knew that this was not the time to talk about serious matters, so he occasionally opened his mouth to chat with Xiao Wang, but he didn't say much.

After dinner, everyone dispersed, Xiao Wang looked at Shen Chuhan, and said with a smile, "I heard that the emperor is proficient in chess, if the emperor is free, how about playing a game in my study?"

He had a smile on his brows and eyes, with a touch of warmth. Although he was called the emperor, his words carried the kindness of an elder.

Shen Chuhan is good at chess, it was when he was prime minister in Liang country, after arriving in Zhao country, he seldom played chess, very few people knew about it.Xiao Wang's ability to know about this shows that they still spent a lot of time understanding Shen Chuhan.

Since Xiao Wang showed his favor first, Shen Chuhan would not refuse, nodded and said, "Okay."

Seeing Xiao Wang calling Shen Chuhan away, Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Lingyi eagerly, wanted to speak, but didn't know how to speak.

Received Xiao Yushi's gaze, Xiao Lingyi's eyes were wet, suppressed the turbulent tears, and looked at Xiao Yushi with a smile, "Mother, dad asked Shang Shu'er to play chess, and our two mothers are also good!" Let's talk."

Tears welled up in Xiao Yushi's eyes immediately, and he hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Song Qing laughed happily, looked at Shen Chuhan and Xiao Lingyi, "Then I'll go back to my room first."

Shen Chuhan nodded, and told Liuyue and Shen Xing, "Take care of your mother."

Liu Yue and Shen Xing should be, and followed Song Qinghuan out of the front hall.

As soon as they left, the others also left one after another. Xiao Lingyi went back to the room with Xiao Yushi, while Shen Chuhan and Xiao Wang walked towards the study together.

The night breeze is cool, gently blowing past.Xiao Wang's face could not be seen clearly in the night, he stopped suddenly, turned to look at Shen Chuhan, "I saw you once when the emperor was young."

Shen Chuhan moved his brows and eyes calmly, and his cold voice sounded in the night wind, "Really? When did my grandfather see me?"

Xiao Wang's eyebrows darkened slightly, "When the emperor was eight years old, when he was sent to Liang country as a hostage, I sneaked into Lindu and hid in the crowd to meet you."

At that time, Shen Chuhan was still young, but there was a coldness and stability in his eyes that did not match his age. At that time, he suddenly thought that this child would have great promise in the future.

It was only later that the news of his death came, which broke his thoughts forever.

But he didn't want to, that day's startling glimpse, after all, he saw him right.

Shen Chuhan pursed his lips and remained silent, he knew that Xiao Wang felt ashamed for him and for his mother.But Shen Chuhan is a deserted person, this kind of guilt is completely irrelevant to him.If it is said that the only thing that can make him feel a little rippling, is that he can probably use the Xiao family's guilt and use it for him.

After a long time, he said lightly, "It's all in the past."

It's all in the past, and he doesn't bother to mention it again, let alone just looking at it, so what?As far as he is concerned, there is no benefit at all.

But in Xiao Wang's ears, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, thinking that Shen Chuhan couldn't forgive them because of the past.I felt restless for a while, and didn't speak again.

In silence, the study arrived.

In the night, there is an oil lamp in the study, which adds a bit of coolness to the summer night.

The servants at the door saw them coming, saluted, and opened the door to welcome them in.

Shen Chuhan and Xiao Wang entered the study side by side, a servant served tea, and then retreated.

Xiao Wang smiled at Shen Chuhan, and took the chessboard. The chessboard made of white jade is not a particularly expensive jade material, but it is crystal clear, cool and refreshing, and it can be seen that it has been used countless times before it can be polished so bright and clean.

Shen Chuhan sat opposite him, watching him arrange the chessboard.

"The emperor is black and white?" Xiao Wang looked at him and asked.

Shen Chuhan picked up a sunspot, "Grandpa please first."

Xiao Wang didn't shirk even then, picked up the white piece and made the first move, and said in a disappointed tone, "In the past, your mother and queen also liked to play chess, and often pestered me to teach her."

Shen Chuhan didn't make a sound, he just dropped the chess piece in his hand, and the crisp sound of the chess piece fell into Xiao Wang's ears.

Of course he knew that his mother was good at chess. Speaking of which, his chess skill was inspired by Xiao Lingyi.If it goes on, it has some connection with Xiao Wang.

Just when Xiao Wang thought he would not speak again, he heard Shen Chuhan's deep and clear voice, "My chess skills were first learned from my mother." Although the queen mother is good at chess, she is not good at it."

Hearing what Shen Chuhan said, Xiao Wang seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flickered slightly, and he also smiled, "Yes, Yier's chess skills are indeed mediocre, but she always likes to pester me to play chess. Later, Huai Jin and Zhu Yu She also learned how to play chess, and she probably felt that she would have no time to pester me, so she turned to Huaijin to hold Yu and invite her to play chess."

When he said this, the smile in his eyes grew wider, as if the little girl who was tugging on his sleeve and acting like a baby appeared in front of him.

Shen Chuhan's brows and eyes moved slightly.

As far as he could remember, Xiao Lingyi had a depressed and indifferent temperament, and he was rarely really happy. He couldn't even imagine that she would have such a playful appearance when she was young.

With a sound of "pa", Xiao Wang fell again, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes suddenly became heavy, he glanced at Shen Chuhan, hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a heavy tone, "Yi'er... is our Xiao family after all. I'm sorry for her."

Shen Chuhan picked up a chess piece and dropped it, his expression still calm.

When it was time for Xiao Wang to drop the ball again, he was twiddling a white ball, but he couldn't drop his hand for a long time, his breath was heavy, and he felt a little restless.

He opened his mouth about what happened back then, but he didn't know how to continue.

"Grandfather's apology, maybe he should say it to the queen mother."

When Shen Chuhan was in a trance, he heard Shen Chuhan speak, pulling his thoughts back.

Xiao Wang's hand froze, his eyes filled with deep apology, just as he was about to say something, Shen Chuhan said again, "Grandfather should have seen it too, and Empress Mother didn't mean to blame you. Even..." He Suddenly, the arc of the corner of her mouth showed a bit of cold sarcasm, "The reason why she has not returned to Chongzhou to see you for a long time is because she feels ashamed to see the Xiao family members again."

Xiao Wang was taken aback, he really didn't expect that the reason for this was so!

Shen Chuhan saw that he hadn't given birth for a long time, but he didn't urge him, and just continued to speak coldly, "Grandpa, do you know what happened in the past ten years when the mother's whereabouts were unknown?"

Xiao Wang shook his head in a daze, his eyes, which were usually clear and bright, had overlapping dark colors, staring at Shen Chuhan without blinking.

More than ten years ago, the news of Xiao Lingyi's disappearance of fragrance and jade came from Lindu. In addition to his grief, he naturally sent someone to Lindu to find out. The spies reported that Xiao Lingyi had died, and Shen Chuhan's coffin Buried in a secret place.

Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, the news that Xiao Lingyi is still alive came again.

But none of the spies he sent to investigate had found out what had happened in the past ten years, as if Xiao Lingyi had just come back to life out of thin air.But Xiao Wang knew that there must be some unknown story in it.

Hearing Shen Chuhan's words at this time, his heart couldn't help but hang up.

"The queen mother has been imprisoned in the underground palace by Jun Wuyin for more than ten years when she disappeared." Shen Chuhan's cold voice sounded again.

The draft blows in from outside the door, blowing the candle flames and making Xiao Wang's heart beat suddenly.His eyes widened suddenly, and he stared at Shen Chuhan desperately, with intense disbelief in his eyes.

After a while, he twitched his lips and asked tremblingly, "You...what did you say?"

"Grandfather heard it right." Shen Chuhan looked dull, "The mother has been imprisoned underground for more than ten years, living a life of darkness."

As soon as the words fell, there was only a "dong", and the chess piece that Xiao Wang had held on for a long time suddenly dropped to the ground.
