Shen Mingyu smiled and said: "It's just a drinking conversation. Although Bingde is the only son of the Fang family, Dong Yuexi was grounded at that time. Qing'er took over the affairs of the family and was favored. Moreover, Qing'er is such a smart person. Naturally, Mr. Fang would not let Mr. Fang feel that he wanted to dominate the world with one hand, so he deliberately suggested that Bingde take over the outside business. Of course, Fang Ziqing was happy. Bingde was also at home because his mother had firmly held on to his power. Although he was a man, But he is bored at home all day long. Now that Qing'er has taken the initiative to delegate power to himself, it's too late for him to thank him, so there is no reason to teach him a lesson. r />
Seeing Shen Mingyu's very sad look, Fang Jinyan said, "By the way, didn't you say you brought me something stuffed with osmanthus? I'm a little hungry. Find me some food. Let's drink and talk at the same time, okay?"
After hearing this, Shen Mingyu took out a food box from the side and placed it on the table. He opened it one by one. Fang Jinyan stepped forward and saw that there were some exquisite dishes and snacks, as well as some fermented rice dumplings that he liked to eat. It seemed that Shen Mingyu is really a careful person.
Then Shen Mingyu took out two wine glasses made of mutton-fat jade and placed them on the table. He took another wine jar from the corner and opened it. Fang Jinyan immediately smelled the tangy aroma of wine.
When Fang Jinyan saw Shen Mingyu pouring wine, she smiled and said, "How did you know that I only drink osmanthus wine now?"
Shen Mingyu smiled, put down the wine jar, and raised the cup in his hand. Seeing Fang Jinyan also raise it, he said, "Have you forgotten that there is another Qing'er in the Fang family?" At this point, his expression darkened. , then regained his smile and said: "Come on, Jinyan, this is my first birthday to you, so I am a little hasty. I am a little anxious, so I am not ready. Please don't laugh." After speaking, he raised the cup. He clinked glasses with Fang Jinyan, then said, "Do it first as a courtesy," and drank it in one gulp.
Just as Fang Jinyan was about to do it, Shen Mingyu suddenly held down Fang Jinyan's hand. Fang Jinyan looked at him and said with a smile: "You can't do it anymore, just take a sip. Don't get drunk. You can easily get drunk before eating at this time." "
Fang Jinyan nodded, took a sip less obediently, put down the cup, and Shen Mingyu put some refreshing side dishes on her plate. He said: "Eat something first. I keep it warm in hot water because it won't taste cold."
Fang Jinyan took a bite, and as expected she didn¡¯t feel cold, so she said it was delicious.
"By the way, are you still interacting with people from your Shen family?" Fang Jinyan asked.
Shen Mingyu said while eating: "Except for the eldest brother, there are few other people who interact with each other."
"Shen Mingcong?" Fang Jinyan said casually.
Shen Mingyu smiled and said, "Have you even checked this?"
Fang Jinyan saw Shen Mingyu's expression and said, "I want to check you, Qing'er and Qiao Heng, and I will naturally find him."
Shen Mingyu was puzzled. He said, "What does this have to do with my elder brother? Qing'er and Qiao Heng don't know him."
Hearing what Shen Mingyu said, Fang Jinyan seemed to have no idea that Fang Bingde had brought Qing'er to see Shen Mingcong. So, it is entirely possible that Fang Bingde did this behind Shen Mingyu's back. It's no wonder. Otherwise, how could Shen Mingyu not know about Qing'er and Shen Mingcong?
Having said this. Shen Mingyu looked at Fang Jinyan and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He looked at Fang Jinyan again and asked with some suspicion: "Are you doubting my eldest brother and Qing'er No, it can't be like this. Qing'er has no reason to know my eldest brother. of¡¡"
Fang Jinyan saw Shen Mingyu looking a little panicked, and thought that he might have guessed some clues from the looks of the two people, because he once told herself that when Qing'er met her, she said that one moment he was very good to her, and the next moment he was very kind to her. Indifferent, so there is no reason why such a smart Shen Mingyu would not think of this level.
"Okay, I'm just guessing. Let's not think about it today. Come on, let's drink." Fang Jinyan changed the topic and picked up the cup with a smile.
"Okay, let's drink. Come on, Jinyan, happy birthday!" Shen Mingyu also smiled again, raised his glass and clinked it with Fang Jinyan again. This time, Fang Jinyan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and a stream of heat flowed down his throat. Indecent, Fang Jinyan felt her body instantly warm up.
The two of them were talking and drinking. An hour passed unknowingly, and the sky was already getting slightly brighter.
"Jinyan, I heard that the Queen Mother will marry you personally, right?" Shen Mingyu suddenly thought of it, then raised his head and asked Fang Jinyan.
This is what Fang Jinyan is most upset about now. She knows that the Queen Mother does not know Zhao Huaishan, so naturally she will not point her out to a killer, but she is not willing to let her lifelong happiness be tied to a person she has never known. Since she was her first wife, she didn't want to, so she could only smile.The sound was the answer.
Shen Mingyu sighed and said, "Although I have been away from the Shen family for a few years, I am still a member of the Shen family. According to my eldest brother, maybe I won't be able to get married if I don't get married."
Fang Jinyan asked: "What does the old lady mean?"
Shen Mingyu smiled and said: "She is my grandmother after all. If there is no one in the Shen family, she can naturally make the decision for me, but now it seems that she is not justified in making the decision."
Fang Jinyan knows that if Shen Mingyu likes women, then she can use her status as the princess to help him. But the problem is that he doesn't like women, so she can't help at all.
"Then what are you going to do?" Fang Jinyan asked.
Shen Mingyu shrugged and said, "The only thing we can do is delay."
Fang Jinyan suddenly asked: "Have you ever thought about being with Qiao Heng"
Shen Mingyu was stunned for a moment and said: "How is it possible In this life, I, Shen Mingyu, will probably let her down."
Fang Jinyan sighed secretly and thought to herself, I don't understand your feelings, but I understand that any kind of emotional dedication is unforgettable and heartbreaking. How can it be so easy to let go? thing?
After a while, I felt the carriage stop, and the driver whispered outside: "Master, we have reached the entrance of the alley."
Fang Jinyan did not expect Shen Mingyu to be so attentive, knowing that sending her to the door would cause embarrassment to both parties. Fang Jinyan could only walk back to this position by herself, which was only a few steps away, so it would not make anyone suspicious and would not tire Fang Jinyan.
Seeing Shen Mingyu's disappointed look, Fang Jinyan smiled and said, "Thank you, you are the first person to celebrate for me. I really appreciate you."
Shen Mingyu smiled and said, "Wait, don't rush down, I haven't given you your birthday gift yet." After saying that, he took out an exquisite sandalwood brocade box from his arms and handed it to Fang Jinyan's hand. .
¡°We¡¯ll look at it when we get back to the room, okay?¡± Shen Mingyu said.
Fang Jinyan nodded, carefully put the box into her arms, smiled at Shen Mingyu, and said, "Okay, it's time for me to go down. The servant who came out to sweep the snow later saw something bad." After that, she motioned to Shen Mingyu. No need to come out to deliver it, then open the door curtain and walk down.
"Jin Yan" Shen Mingyu stopped talking.
Fang Jinyan turned around, looked at him, and whispered: "Take good care of Qiao Heng for me, please!" After saying that, she didn't look at Shen Mingyu anymore and walked towards the front door of Leng Mansion.
"Jin Yan, I just want to tell you that that person's name is not Wang Zhimo, his name is Zhao Heng, and his courtesy name is Yuan Xiu. He is not the second son of the Wang family, he is the current emperor."
Shen Mingyu looked at Fang Jinyan's retreating figure and whispered to himself.
Just when Fang Jinyan was about to return to Leng Mansion after getting off Shen Mingyu's carriage, in the Fuxiang Hall of the palace, the queen suddenly felt uncomfortable.
The emperor was about to take Xiaoluzi out of the palace when he heard the palace maid in Fuxiang Palace coming to report. Thinking that the night before, he was afraid that Lu Yuening would know that he was leaving the palace today and she would be unhappy, so he made an excuse, saying that he wanted to review I didn't go to the Fuxiang Hall to rest. I didn't think that it would only take one night, so why did I get sick?
After the palace maid left in a hurry, Xiaoluzi saw that the emperor was a little unhappy, so he said carefully: "Why don't the emperor go to the queen's place first, otherwise, after leaving the palace, the queen mother will also come out to look for you. "
Although the emperor was not happy, he knew that Xiao Luzi was telling the truth. Now the Queen Mother could leave Fang Jinyan alone. She did not declare an edict to enter the palace, nor did she propose marriage. All of this was due to Lu Yuening's dealings with herself and Fang Jinyan behind her. Thinking of this , the emperor handed the gift for Fang Jinyan to Xiaoluzi first.
"You don't have to follow me. Just wait here. Half an hour later, you can prepare the carriage and wait for me at the same place."
"I understand." Xiao Luzi held the brocade box handed to him by the emperor in both hands, bowed and retreated.
Before reaching the door of Fuxiang Hall, he saw Imperial Physician Liu and the medicine boy coming out of the room, followed by Hancui, the girl next to Lu Yuening, who came out to see him off.
"I would like to send my regards to the Emperor."
The emperor looked at the three people kneeling in front of him, as well as the palace maids and servants waiting outside. He waved his hands and asked everyone to stand up and said, "How about Yue Ning?"
Doctor Liu replied: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Queen has a happy pulse."
After the emperor marched, he saw the happy look on Han Cui's face, and knew that he had heard correctly. He calmed down and said, "Okay, you can go down."
The emperor went straight to Lu Yuening¡¯s room and saw herHe was leaning on the bed, covered with a phoenix and nine-day soft brocade silk quilt. He was just wearing simple narrow clothes. His hair was just pulled up casually. His face looked a little pale. He walked a little faster and walked to the bed to sit down.
There seemed to be tears in the corners of Lu Yuening's eyes. When she saw the emperor coming, she grinned and stood up to salute. The emperor quickly held her down and said softly: "I didn't know what happened until now."
Lu Yuening looked a little shy, lowering her head slightly. The emperor gently held Lu Yuening in his arms, and Lu Yuening put her forehead on the emperor's shoulder.
