Splendid Book

Chapter 130 Good and Bad
Tossing and turning all night, Ji Yu has always been a light sleeper, he can almost feel the worry of the person in his arms.Shen Changle even woke up once in the middle of the night, if Ji Yu hadn't coaxed her to sleep, she might have to wake up in the middle of the night.

The winter night is very long, so when Shen Changle opened his eyes again, the tent was still pitch black.Ji Yu was afraid that she wouldn't be able to sleep well, so he ordered all the candles in the room to be extinguished, not a single lamp remained.

"My lord, aren't you going to court?" Although Shen Changle didn't know what time it was, he just guessed that it would be the time to go to court based on his past habits.

Ji Yu turned over inside the quilt, the warm quilt exuded a faint fragrance, making him more lazy than usual.I don't know how much courage I mustered up every day to get away from her.

He reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, and groped into the clothes along the middle, the smooth and tender skin was so tactile that he couldn't put it down.Although the surroundings were still pitch black at this time, in the darkness, her bright eyes, like two bright lights, shone straight into his heart.

"Didn't sleep well?" His voice had a thick nasal voice that had just woken up, and the sober laziness had not completely left his body.

"Well, I always have bad dreams," Shen Changle pressed his face against his chest, his voice was extremely low.

Ji Yu knew what she was thinking, but it was useless to comfort her at this time.I only hope that Ye Ling is really auspicious and has a good fortune, so that she can really get better.Otherwise, Ji Yu sighed, considering the relationship between Shen Changle and Ye Ling, I'm afraid she would be really sad.

Shen Changle originally wanted to get up, but just as she sat up, Ji Yu pushed her down.He chuckled, stretched out his arm, let her rest on his arm, and said softly: "It's rare that you don't have to go to court today, so you can sleep with me for a while."

He said he was with him, but he actually wanted Shen Changle to sleep a little longer.

It's just that Shen Changle woke up several times in the middle of the night last night, and when he fell asleep this time, he couldn't fall asleep much.She tried to close her eyes, but opened them again after a while, feeling extremely upset.

"Ye Ling still has a few days to reach her age, how did it become like this?" She was a little helpless.

Maybe we really should sigh with emotion, the world is impermanent.But that was the Ye Ling she was familiar with, the Ye Ling who grew up with her, chatted, laughed together, and shared little secrets with her.She couldn't imagine any kind of bad news about her.

"Don't worry, don't worry, the imperial doctor stayed at Ye's house all night yesterday, she is definitely fine. If something happened, I'm afraid he would have come to our house a long time ago, no news is good news," Ji Yu patted her waist, softly Said.

Ji Yu coaxed her to close her eyes and sleep for a while, and when she opened them again, it was already dawn outside.Although the curtain is still drawn, the light has penetrated through the curtain.

Ji Yu next to her was no longer there, she stretched out her hand to lift the curtain, and shouted Chunliu and Luwu to the outside.

The two of them were waiting outside at this moment, and as soon as she made a sound, Chunliu hurried forward to answer. "Your Majesty is going to get up? The maidservant will wait for your Majesty to get up," Chunliu hung the curtains on both sides with hooks.

The earth dragon burning ground in the house is flourishing, but Luwu is still afraid that she will freeze.After she got out of bed, she quickly put on her clothes.

"Where did the prince go?" She couldn't help but asked worriedly, wondering if there was news from Ye Fu, that's why she called Ji Yu away.

"The prince is boxing in the garden, he saw the empress soundly asleep, so he woke you up," Lu Wu said while buttoning her, bowing her head.

After hearing this, Shen Changle felt a little relieved.Ji Yu is right, no news is the best news.

After she cleaned up thoroughly, Ji Yu also came back from the garden. As soon as he entered the door, his body was covered with cold dampness, and even the black hair on his head was covered with a layer of water vapor, which slanted like temples. His sword eyebrows became thicker and darker.

"It's very humid in the morning, the lord should wear a hat to go out," Shen Changle said with some distress while looking at his wet hair.

Ji Yu was suddenly amused by her words, and he said: "I went to the garden to fight boxing, no one would wear a hat while practicing martial arts."

"Other people don't bring it, it doesn't mean that the lord can't bring it either, why should the lord have the same knowledge as those?" Shen Changle had already ordered the meal and asked the maid to go down to prepare it.

Seeing that she even came out with fallacies, Ji Yu shook his head helplessly, and said, "If I really do this, I will indeed be different from others. It's just that I'm afraid of scaring others."

Neither of them mentioned the matter of Ye Ling, perhaps even Shen Changle had already believed Ji Yu's words at this time, no news is the best news.

After breakfast, because Qiao Mingchen sent someone to find Ji Yu's business, Ji Yu went to the front yard.As for Shen Changle, Chunliu and Luwu were left behind.When the two servant girls saw that the princess had sent everyone else away, leaving only the two of them, they became a little nervous.

The two of them looked at each other, the eyes are like, have you offended the princess?
"Speaking of something, I want to discuss it with you," Shen Changle said softly, but the more she behaved like this, the more nervous the two of them became.

Lu Wu spoke first and said: "If there is anything you want, Madam, just tell the servants. You talk about discussing, but you are really pissing off the servants."

Although Chunliu didn't speak, she nodded.The two of them stood in front of her, although they were not apprehensive, but they were still guessing in their hearts, thinking about what the concubine and empress would say to them.

"Speaking of which, the two of you are both in your twenties during the Chinese New Year." Shen Changle turned his eyes around their faces, and sighed softly.If Ye Ling's matter hadn't come so suddenly, she wouldn't have thought of it so quickly.

Most of the girls get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, but some of the maids in the mansion are reused by the master, and some are kept until they are twenty.Some maids whose fathers, mothers and fathers have face in front of the master will show mercy and let her get married when they are old.

Both Luwu and Chunliu's families have more or less problems.It's just that the reason why they dragged on until now is also because Shen Changle has been unwilling to let them go.In the previous life, it was these two servant girls who accompanied her through the three years of filial piety.At that time, they had all turned into 23-year-old girls. It was Shen Changle who asked them to go back to Shen's mansion to get married, and they both cried and refused.

So in this life, she always wanted to choose a good family for these two maids, so that they could marry off in a prosperous way.

In fact, she had asked the two of them for their opinions before, but when it came to marriage, both of them were very shy.Each of them is like a gourd with a sawed mouth. They can't say a word for a long time. If they are really anxious to ask, they will simply leave a sentence for you. If the empress says that again, the servant will become a maid.

"Could it be that the empress despises me and Sister Chunliu, are you old?" Lu Wu asked with a smile, charmingly.It's just that her pretendingly relaxed tone still revealed the tension in her heart.

"Stop talking nonsense, both of you don't pretend you don't understand, if you don't say one, two, three, I will pick the wrong person for you in the future, don't blame me," Shen Changle said deliberately to scare them , but she was just showing off.

It is a lifetime thing for a woman to marry, and she will definitely choose the best for them.

She looked at the two people standing in front of her, today Chunliu was wearing lotus color, she was already pretty, but the shyness that flashed across her face when she lowered her head was really beautiful and touching.As for Luwu next to her, she has a hotter temper, and she also likes to wear red and green on weekdays, but this is just a girl's love of beauty.In front of the male master, she has never said a word that is out of line.This is also the reason why Shen Changle is at ease with them.

"Your Majesty, why are you bringing up this matter all of a sudden?" Chunliu looked up at this moment and asked a little strangely.

After all, although the princess had said it before, she was not as determined as she is today.

"Life is short, if I keep you by my side all the time, I will only harm you," Shen Changle is actually just a little girl now, and it is only because she is married that she speaks old-fashioned.

Chunliu tilted her head to look at Luwu, and then she said firmly: "The servant will stay with the empress if she doesn't get married."

"You think you are just married, and I will let you go?" Shen Changle chuckled, and said leisurely: "Even if you are married, you are still the lady in charge of my yard, and I will invite two more at that time." The little lady is watching this mansion for me, if anyone dares to steal and play tricks, you have to report to me."

Although Chunliu and Luwu are her big servant girls now, they only manage the affairs around her.Fortunately, the population in Prince Zhao's mansion is simple at this time, and Ji Yu has shown that whatever the princess says is right, I think it is right, so that no one in the mansion dares to despise Shen Changle.However, she always has no reliable people in the mansion, and there is no way out in the long run.

So she had also thought about it a long time ago, after Chunliu and Luwu got married, they would return to the mansion to work as usual.At that time, it will be inconvenient for them to serve her by her side, but they will be able to be the lady in charge in the mansion.

"Niang Niang, you're making fun of us again," Lu Wu immediately raised her red lips, and retorted shyly, but this time, she brought on the characteristic shyness of a woman.

Originally, she planned to wait until after the new year, but now it is better to hit the sun than to choose a date, so it is better to make a decision as soon as possible.However, she also called the two back and wanted to ask their own opinions. If they had a suitable candidate in their hearts, she would certainly be happy to see it.

So she asked again: "I know that your parents must have taken care of you for a long time. If there is someone you like, just tell me."

The two looked at each other, and for a moment neither of them was embarrassed to speak first.

Just when Shen Changle looked at the two of them and waited for a long while without speaking, and was about to persuade him a few more words, Chun Liu, who was standing on the left wearing a lotus-colored jacket, hung his head, hesitated again and again, and finally said: " Slave, this slave wants to ask your mother to be the master."

Lu Wu next to her was obviously even weirder than Shen Changle, with a sandalwood mouth that almost grew into a circle, and the astonishment in his eyes couldn't be concealed.

"Tell me, who is it?" Shen Changle asked encouragingly.

Chunliu said a name, and she said again: "Mother, Brother Qingsong and I have never exchanged private information. It's just that when I'm not at home, Brother Qingsong always takes care of my parents, younger siblings, I just want to thank him for his kindness. I also feel that he has a strong character and is really reliable, so I thought about asking the empress to make the decision."

But even though she said that, Luwu next to her suddenly remembered the pair of shoes hidden under Chunliu's cabinet.She had seen that pair of shoes a long time ago, but seeing that Chunliu had never failed to give them away, she asked a few questions curiously.So that pair of shoes must have been made for the Qingsong brother she was talking about.

Shen Changle couldn't remember who this Zhang Qingsong was for a moment, but since she was also the son of Shen's family, she could naturally do it.

But before she agreed, she still reminded: "It is said that you know people, you know the face, but you don't know the heart. Just in case, I will ask my sister-in-law first. If this Zhang Qingsong is serious and stable, I will allow you to go back in the spring of next year." marriage."

When Chunliu said these words, he mustered up a lot of courage.So now that Shen Changle said such things again, she was too embarrassed to interrupt.

And Luwu next to her was dumbfounded. In fact, Luwu was the one who wanted to serve Shen Changle with all her heart.Everyone knows about the situation in her family, if she hadn't become a promising maid and became a maid by her side, and then married to the palace, her whole family would have a better life.However, most of her monthly silver and daily rewards were subsidized at home, and she herself had no valuable dowry.So she was really not interested in getting married.

Seeing that Lu Wu had no objection, Shen Changle knew that her family must have never considered her.So she felt very distressed in her heart, and comforted her and said: "Don't worry, I will find a reliable person later, and I will not humiliate you."

When the two servant girls thanked Shen Changle and were about to go out, the person she sent to the Ye family to ask for news came back.

"Miss Ye woke up this morning?" When she heard the news, she immediately stood up from the couch happily, wishing she could go to Ye's house to have a look.

The person who went to inquire about the news was a small steward in the front yard. He was a clever man, so he asked all the things that should be asked clearly.At this time, he saw that the empress was so excited, and quickly said according to what the prince said earlier: "The empress, the imperial doctor said that if Miss Ye can wake up, it means that she is about to be out of danger. It's just that Miss Ye is too weak. , so I'm afraid it won't be good to have too many visitors."

"Yes, yes, she needs to recuperate right now, I can't disturb her," Shen Changle clapped his hands angrily, and said understandingly.

Turning around, she asked again: "Where is my second brother, but has he gone back?"

"When Ms. Ye woke up, Second Young Master Shen was still watching. When the younger one came back, Second Young Master was still there," the steward replied in an orderly manner.

As soon as Shen Changle heard the good news, he got carried away with joy.So after letting the steward leave, he walked back and forth in the room several times, grabbed the palm of Lu Wu who was standing on the side, and shouted happily: "Lu Wu, did you hear that? Ye Ling is fine, she is fine. "

"Your servant knows that Miss Ye will definitely get better, she is a noble person to help." Lu Wu hurriedly followed her words and comforted her.

Shen Changle nodded, feeling even more joyful in his heart.So when Ji Yu came back, she felt better all of a sudden, not only talking and laughing with him, but during lunch, Ji Yu didn't need to coax her, she ate rice all night by herself.

Originally thought that this good news would last for a long time, but in the afternoon, someone from the Shen family came, saying that the second son was imprisoned in the ancestral hall by the Duke, and he was not even allowed to wear outer clothes.

When Shen Changle heard this, he was so frightened that he hurriedly prepared to go back.It will be the twelfth lunar month of winter, and there are no earth dragons in the ancestral hall, and there has been no charcoal fire for a long time, so it is very gloomy.Let alone kneeling with no clothes on, even kneeling there with a cloak on, you'll get sick from the cold.

She knew that if the family could persuade her father, they would definitely not send news to her.Now that the letter came here, it was just to get her to go back and persuade her.

Ji Yu heard that the situation was quite serious, so she was naturally worried that she would go back alone, so she went with her.

When the couple arrived at Shen's residence, they saw Shen Ruhui waiting for them at the door.

"Father is really angry this time. The second younger brother's behavior is really inappropriate. Even if he wants to marry Miss Ye, he should come back and tell his father and grandmother. The two elders are not such pedantic people. How could it be?" Don't agree to his request," Shen Ruhui said a lot when he saw Shen Changle.

Shen Changle could hear some meaning from his words, probably if Dad hadn't been too ruthless this time, with the eldest brother's temperament, he would not agree with the second brother's impulsive approach.

They didn't go directly to the ancestral hall, because Dad was in the front yard right now.

"You coax daddy well, the father in the family listens to you the most."

Before Shen Changle entered the door, Shen Ruhui said earnestly.
