Shen Qianyu said: "What's the matter?"
"It's Song Yao."
Song Wan casually handed Ming Xiang's letter to Shen Qianyu, and Shen Qianyu took it and read it. He frowned when he saw Mrs. Song hastily arranged the Qi family's marriage for Song Yao when Song Lananyuan was far away in Suhe.
And when he saw that she was thinking about breaking off the engagement, he was even more dissatisfied.
"Ridiculous."
Song Wan shook his head lightly: "Mother's vision is limited, Song Yao is trapped in the inner house again, it is normal for him to have such selfish thoughts."
Shen Qianyu said: "Master Song's mourning period has not passed, and she is so impatient that she goes up and down the camp. It is really chilling."
"I'm just afraid that my engagement with the Qi Mansion will be known to outsiders, and I want to get rid of the Qi Mansion as soon as possible. Wan'er is kind-hearted and can't find any excuse for her vision. No one with no vision will do this during his father's filial piety period. of."
Shen Qianyu knew Song Yao and didn't have a good impression of her, so he had no good words to say when he mentioned her.
Song Wan said: "The Qi family has not produced anyone who can support the family for many generations. I am afraid that this marriage will not be easily withdrawn."
"If Song Yao insists on retreating, it will definitely hurt the relationship between the two families."
"You don't need to worry. After the national funeral, I will decree a marriage for the two of them, so that Song Yao can marry to the Qi Mansion in peace. Why bother about her?"
That woman just wanted a false name, so what if he gave it to Song Lan'an and the Song Mansion.
Taking out the letter from Song Wan's hand, Shen Qianyu put it aside: "Don't worry about these useless things."
Holding Song Wan's hand, Shen Qianyu looked at the book.
He was injured a lot in the battle at Suhe, but he never showed it on weekdays. Now after sitting for a long time, Shen Qianyu felt his knees were numb and sore.
Not intending to worry Song Wan, Shen Qianyu let go of her hand and gently caressed it on her knee.
Upon seeing this, Song Wan took a long piece of red velvet cloth from the dressing table, half bent over and patted Shen Qianyu's leg.
“What is it?”
Song Wan smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you think that if you don't say anything, Wan'er won't be able to tell that you are unwell?"
After tying the red velvet cloth on Shen Qianyu's knees, Song Wan spoke softly: "This one contains medicine to relax the meridians and activate the meridians. There is also an indigo blue one with coarse salt and something to dispel cold. If you are usually sore, please use it." If the red one is uncomfortable on rainy days, use the indigo one."
"Before using the coarse salt, you need to heat it up first."
Shen Qianyu looked at Song Wan, who was standing in front of him with gentle movements and gentle expression, and the tips of his ears turned red inexplicably.
For some reason, even though they were a serious couple, as long as Song Wan treated him gently, he couldn't help but feel shy and excited.
Shen Qianyu took Song Wan's hand: "I don't want you to do this."
"Why?"
Shen Qianyu said: "I don't want to leave you like this, even if it's for me."
The man's neck was dyed red, his eyes were full of tenderness, and his muttering in a low voice made Song Wan couldn't help but chuckle.
She sat next to Shen Qianyu, but her hands did not stop, slowly and gently massaging his sore spots.
Song Wan moved while lowering his eyes and said, "Didn't His Highness say that he and Wan'er would be an ordinary couple? Wan'er thinks that this is what ordinary couples are like."
"Ordinary couples should also love their wives as much as the husband loves them, and I should love their children more."
Having said that, Shen Qianyu smiled from ear to ear.
Seeing that he had returned to his usual silly self, Song Wan smiled tenderly: "Husband and wife are one body, and each has its own responsibilities. There is no such thing as a husband who only loves his wife, and there is no such thing as a wife who only loves her husband."
"In the long days to come, we have to support each other so we don't feel tired."
Shen Qianyu pursed his lips, as if he was trying to suppress his smile so as not to lose his composure. He gently raised his hand to touch Song Wan's cheek. Even though the two of them were just sitting quietly together, Shen Qianyu felt at peace in his heart.
During the national mourning period, the two of them were not allowed to share the same room. After finishing his work, Shen Qianyu returned to the prince's palace accompanied by Ji Rong.
Wan Xiao was still lying on the couch in the courtyard. When she saw Shen Qianyu entering the courtyard, she was about to get up, but he stopped her.
"Just rest."
During the battle of Suhe, Wan Xiao protected him with his life several times, so that he could return to Beijing completely. Shen Qianyu thought he was seriously injured, but he never thought that Wan Xiao would not be able to survive the illness when he returned to Shangjing.
"Are you feeling better?"
Wan Xiao said: "My subordinate is doing much better."
Shen Qianyu asked him to go back to his room and rest, but Ji Rong came close to him and murmured: "I found the person you asked me to find."
Wan Xiao was silent for a moment and did not answer.
"If you regret it, I will find a good job for him and send him away."
"Why do you regret it?"
Wan Xiao sat up and looked at Ji Rong with an indifferent expression: "How is your character? Do you have any bad habits or diseases?"
"Nothing."
"How does it look?"
"Tall, strong, and handsome."
Wan Xiao lowered her eyes and said after a long time, "I will meet this person tomorrow."
"It's up to you."
After saying that, Ji Rong patted him on the shoulder and turned to leave.
Early the next morning, Wan Xiao left the East Palace to see the man.
As Ji Rong said, the man could not find anything other than a dull temperament. He asked a few questions and felt relieved when he saw that the man had recited everything about his family and could tell three or five interesting things about Jin Shu's childhood.
Jinshu was still young when his family was in trouble, so she probably didn't recognize him. Now this man's appearance probably wouldn't arouse her suspicion.
Wan Xiao took out a white jade pendant carved with rabbits from her arms, held it in the palm of her hand and returned to the palace to look for the brocade book.
"Lord of Ten Thousand Governors."
After two years of absence, Jin Shu has become even more delicate. The little girl used to be a bit naive when talking and doing things, but now she looks much calmer. I think she has grown a lot in the two years in the palace.
Raising his hand to throw out the round jade pendant, Jin Shu subconsciously caught it in his hand.
Wan Xiao smiled and said, "Do you recognize it?"
He put the jade pendant in his hand and checked it over and over again. After a while, he heard a brocade call.
"Master Wan, have you found my husband?"
"Yes, I found it."
Jin Shu's eyes turned red, he held the jade pendant and murmured: "Is he okay?"
"very good."
"Why hasn't he come to find me all these years?"
"Sought, but not found."
"Where are the people from his clan?"
"All passed away."
Jin Shu wiped his tears and said, "Then he must have had a hard time these years. I still have Miss and Sister Luanjian by my side, but he has nothing."
Wan Xiao lowered her eyes and chuckled: "There are also some brothers and friends. Although they have suffered some hardships, who is a man who has not come here like this?"
"It's good if you still have some life left."
For some reason, Wan Xiao's words touched Jin Shu's heart inexplicably, and she couldn't hold back the tears she had been holding for a long time, and suddenly fell down.
"Then has he ever married a wife and started a family?"
Wan Xiao chuckled: "No, I'm waiting for you."
The little girl raised her hand to wipe her tears, and slowly smiled brightly: "Then where is he now? I want to see him."
"If he is still willing to marry me, I will leave the palace to get married after the national mourning is over."
