Chapter 50
Since Shen Li came back that day, Xiao Yue and Shen Li have basically been inseparable every day, sticking tightly together.The family members are happy to see the success, and consciously make room for them to let the young couple get bored.
Today Shen Li went to school to pick up Xiao Yue from school.
In early winter in Kyoto, it was still windy and cold, Shen Li put the sable fur on Xiao Yue's body, and tied him up carefully. "It's cold today. I'll take you to eat antique soup, so I won't go home to eat it. What do you think?"
Shen Li took his hand, brought him into the carriage, and asked him about today's food. They were like an ordinary couple, discussing what to have for lunch today?What should I have for dinner?
Xiao Yue took his hand and said with a smile: "Shujiang said it's good, so it's good. Besides, it's cold, eating some antique soup is also good for getting rid of the cold."
The words are full of joy and happiness.Love doesn't have to be vigorous. Sometimes two people can love each other, and being in love and being together is already a great happiness.
The carriage rattled to the restaurant.In the carriage, Shen Li still held Xiao Yue's hand and did not let go. "I heard from my mother that it will be an auspicious day in three days. She specially picked the day and planned to come to your house to hire at that time."
Xiao Yue was surprised and delighted: "Why so fast? I, I have never heard of it. Have you discussed it with my family?"
Shen Li leaned closer and kissed his red cheeks, and said with a smile: "It's not unpleasant anymore. Once winter is over, you will be seventeen. It will take a lot of time to prepare the three books and six rituals. It's better to do it yourself, but If it is left to the royal ceremonies...their efficiency has always been extremely slow and troublesome. So if you don't prepare in advance, I don't know how long it will be until I want to marry you."
After finishing speaking, he leaned close to Xiao Yue's ear and blew, "I can't wait."
The voice was ambiguous, the scorching breath was urging in his ears, surrounded by the familiar breath of the people around him.Xiao Yue felt dizzy and didn't know where she was.
Shen Li continued to seduce: "Don't you want to marry me as soon as possible?" As he said that, he kissed Xiao Yue's earlobe, which made the already tender earlobe turn red, almost bleeding.
Xiao Yue shyly grasped the skirt of Shen Li's chest, raised her head, put her wet eyes on her eyes, and said frankly: "Of course I also want to marry you as soon as possible."
Shen Li was suddenly fascinated by his beauty... Now, I don't know who tempted whom this time?Who seduced whom?
Shen Li hugged Xiao Yue's waist, pulled it into his arms forcefully, and put one hand on the back of Xiao Yue's head.He kissed the young man's red lips.
Xiao Yue hugged Shen Li's neck very cooperatively, opened her lips tentatively, and stretched out her pink tongue to lick Shen Li's lips.
Shen Li, who was stretched by a strand of mystery, immediately collapsed.Reaching out without hesitation, attacking the city, bursts of ambiguous voices came from the carriage...
Xiao Yue felt that her whole body was numb, and Shen Li was still messing around with Xiao Yue's waist with one hand...
"Hmm~" sounded.
Both Xiao Yue and Shen Li were shocked.Xiao Yue blushed, closed her eyes, and pretended that the person who made such a sweet voice just now was not herself.
Shen Li relaxed his strength, kissed gently, slowly withdrew from his lips, and pecked his lips reluctantly before leaving.The two tried their best to calm their breathing.
Xiao Yue blushed and asked: "Shujiang, you, yours..." Xiao Yue was embarrassed to continue... He and Shen Li hugged each other and were very close to each other. Naturally, it was impossible to hide any changes in the other party's body .
Shen Li took a breath, let go of Xiao Yue, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't worry about it, it will be fine later."
……
Three days later, Shen Li came to Xiao's Mansion with the bride price.As a brother, Xiao Yue followed behind her elder brother Xiao Cheng, her face was flushed, she didn't know whether it was excitement or shyness.
Seeing him like this, Xiao Cheng knew that he didn't even need to ask if he would agree or not. Xiao Jiayu was very happy to see their marriage come true, after all, the Xiao family would benefit from it no matter what they got married.
……
There was heavy snowfall, and the entire bustling capital city turned into a vast expanse of whiteness. There were fewer and fewer pedestrians in the white city, and even the cars and horses passing by on weekdays became quiet and depressing.
Zhumen Huang Wali, several people gathered together.
"Prime Minister, what do you think of the situation now?"
"Everything cannot be judged arbitrarily. The holy will is unpredictable. If you make a mistake, it will be a cliff!"
"But... but now all the major families have loyal objects, but this Shen family has not made a statement, and I don't know if it is really withdrawing from this competition? If not, then..." Then where is he standing in private? one?The Shen family holds the military power, and Shen Li holds the key to winning this bet.
"The Xiao family has a close relationship with the Shen family, let's see what the Xiao family intends..."
……
At this time, Shen Li was also talking with his father in the study.
General Shen: "Now the Holy Majesty's health is getting worse and worse. Yesterday I took Jun Zhu into the palace to have a look. Jun Zhu said... I am afraid that the Holy Majesty's time is numbered."
Shen Li pondered and said: "Nowadays, every major family has someone to support. What is father going to do?"
"You went to the border too early and didn't return for many years. I didn't have time to tell you. Shen Fu, the ancestor of the Shen family, followed the founding emperor to establish the Le Dynasty 200 years ago. It can be said that the Le Dynasty was created by the ancestors and the founding emperor. The ancestors He is not good at governing the country, and only wants to be a general, abdicating the throne to the founding emperor, and guarding the frontier from now on."
"The ancestors had a saying at the end of their lives that the descendants of the Shen family guarded the frontier for generations and protected the people of the Le Dynasty. The Shen family's children are not allowed to participate in the battle for the succession of the throne. As long as the successor chosen by the late emperor is not a fatuous and violent person, the Shen family will not interfere. But if the chosen The people are fatuous and violent, the Shen family can support a wise king."
"But the situation is unclear now, and until now it is not known which prince the Holy Majesty has chosen as the crown prince."
Shen Li was surprised for a moment and kissed: "Does the Holy One know about this?"
General Shen: "I know. Every crown prince will be informed before taking over, otherwise, His Majesty's reckless actions will not benefit the country and the people."
Shen Li shook his head: "Didn't any previous emperor be afraid of the Shen family and want to seize the power of the Shen family? After all, there is such a courtier who can pull you off the throne at any time. Even if every king sits on the throne, he will not be safe, right? "
General Shen explained: "Without the Shen family, the Le Dynasty would not be guaranteed. Moreover, Gaozu gave the iron certificate of Danshu, expressly saying that the children of the Shen family would not be convicted of imperial power. Besides, the family rule of the Shen family is to guard the stability of the Le Dynasty. For hundreds of years, we have never Not involved in any royal struggles. Nowhere to be found for crimes."
Shen Li pondered: "So that's the case. Then this time, are we still waiting for the crown prince to be selected? Are we going to support the crown prince this time?"
General Shen: "The crown prince grew up in the East Palace and was raised by the empress. The Tai Tuo taught him knowledge. He is indeed kind-hearted, but I'm afraid that in the royal family, such a person is not suitable for fighting. This time the crown prince may not be able to win."
Shen Li shook his head. He had met the prince a few times, but he didn't think so: "Not necessarily. If he is really kind-hearted, he may not be able to live in the palace for so long. What's more, he still bears the name of the prince and wants to replace him. There are probably not a few people."
General Shen was surprised: "You mean, he pretended?" Even he was able to deceive, which shows how much the crown prince can hide.
Shen Li didn't dare to speak nonsense: "Boy, I'm just guessing. Since the Shen family has nothing to do with the struggle for the throne, we just need to ensure that the person sitting in that position can make the common people live and work in peace, and let Le Chaohe Qinghai Yan."
General Shen felt that it was also reasonable.
……
In the cold winter with heavy snowfall, ordinary people rarely have a reason to go out.On the peaceful winter day, there are groups of people restless, and the undercurrent is turbulent and dangerous.
This winter, Mu Chou-jun frequently went to the palace to apply medicine for the Holy Majesty, and forced the Holy Majesty to survive this cold winter, so even this year's Spring Festival, the capital city was still undercurrents.
The spring is cold and the twilight is late.When the holy majesty was finally exhausted, the battle for the throne was also the most intense time.
Xiao Yue: "Your Majesty, how is the situation now?"
Mu Junzhu shook his head: "I'm afraid this time I'm really not optimistic. At most seven days, I can't do anything."
Xiao Yue frowned, seven days at most?
Now that the Holy One is critically ill, Xiao Jiayu asked himself last year, which prince did the Shen family decide to support?Answer him by yourself: "The Shen family will not support any prince, as long as the prince can work hard in the end, the Shen family will not object."
It never occurred to Xiao Jiayu that he thought it was because he didn't want to annoy Shen Li, so he asked the government that he didn't want to ask Shen Li, and then thought about the Shen family's persecution of Xiao Si, he was furious, and left angrily.
In the end, none of the princes was able to bribe the Dao Shen family, instead they kept pushing towards the Xiao family because of this. The fourth prince, Le Ji, was the one Xiao Jiayu chose after searching around.
He also didn't want to, if it wasn't for the Shen family, he was a famous and powerless official, which prince would come to bribe him?It's a pity that the princes don't know that in the end, they can only rely on themselves in this battle for the throne.
Xiao Cheng listened to Xiao Yue's words and did not participate in the battle for the throne, and went home after finishing his official business every day, closed the door and refused to see guests.
There were obvious differences between the two father and son, and some people started talking about it.
"Yue'er, what are you thinking?"
Xiao Yue came back to her senses, only to realize that she had lost her mind again. "Side-jun? I didn't think about anything."
Mu Junzhu asked back: "I didn't think you could tell you no several times? Are you worried about your family? I heard that your father supports the fourth prince's party."
Xiao Yue: "Well, I did think about that, but I didn't worry about it. Everyone has their own choice. The road that father and brother took, how they choose is their business. I have reminded, the rest There is nothing I can do and I don't want to intervene."
Mu Junzhu: "Then why are you unhappy?"
Xiao Yue sighed: "The current emperor is a wise emperor, so he is naturally unhappy when he passes away. I don't know which prince will be the last one. If he is a violent person, I'm afraid..."
Mu Choujun sighed: "It is indeed a wise emperor, but mortals will die, it is inevitable. It is not up to us to decide who will be in power in the end." The topic changed and said: "It's a pity, three years of national mourning. At that time, your marriage with Shen Li may be delayed for three years."
