The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi
Chapter 209 The Eve of the Wedding
What caused Ye Kunshan's situation to take a different direction and deviate from that in his previous life?
Emperor Shunqing is dead, and his secret guards and confidants have all been eliminated. I'm afraid I can only ask Ye Kunshan about this question.
Shen Nanzhi never thought that Ye Qingwan would know the inside story. After all, because she was close to the Shen family, Ye Kunshan kept all official matters secret from her. Shen Nanzhi just asked casually, thinking that she would go to Ye Kunshan to ask after she finished her wedding and before he left Beijing.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qingwan nodded with some self-blame: "I know something. I happened to go to see my father that day, and saw a man sneaking out of my father's study. When he saw me, my father looked a little strange, but I didn't think much about it at the time. It was also at that time that he told me that we were going to Kyoto. I think it has something to do with this person."
"Later, I saw that man among the entourage of the *** Palace, but..."
At this point, Ye Qingwan's eyes became even redder. She placed her hands on her knees and subconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt. She lowered her eyes and said, "I didn't know about my father and the others at the time... so I didn't think too deeply about it. If I had thought more about it, I wouldn't have called you... sorry..."
Seeing her like this, Shen Nanzhi felt uncomfortable.
"Awan, I don't blame you."
Shen Nanzhi reached out and held her uneasy fingers, and said gently but firmly: "We are also friends who have risked our lives together, and this has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to worry about it."
Shen Nanzhi has only a few close friends, which are extremely rare. When he takes a high position in the future, there will be even fewer people with whom he can talk privately and confide.
Moreover, even though she knew that they had different positions, Ye Qingwan also had her own persistence and principles, and was even willing to stand on the same line with her, which was already very rare and precious.
Shen Nanzhi held her hand and said, "We are still the same as before. If you continue like this, it will make me feel uncomfortable."
Hearing this, Ye Qingwan's eyes became even redder.
Ye Qingwan, who was always straightforward and frank, couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time. She only choked up and said, "Okay...Okay..."
Seeing that she finally let it go, Shen Nanzhi began to think about what she had just said.
Ye Kunshan was assigned by Emperor Shunqing to secretly help Lin Hongrui, so it was naturally impossible for him to have private dealings with the *** government, which Lin Hongrui was originally targeting.
Most of the entourage in that government office were probably Lin Hongrui's men.
However, the question still comes back to the question, why is Lin Hongrui's life different from his previous life, transferring Ye Kunshan back to the capital?
Unable to figure out what was going on, Shen Nanzhi had to give up for the time being. She looked up at Ye Qingwan and said, "When you have time, please help me keep an eye out for which one of the *** Mansion it is, or just draw it out and I'll have someone look for it."
Until now, due to the involvement of Yuzhou Zhou family, the *** Mansion is still under siege. This was the order issued by Emperor Shunqing before.
Xiao Chuyun and Xiao Huaimin had also discussed this issue. They had to conceal the news of Emperor Shunqing's death, so many actions had to be carried out according to Emperor Shunqing's previous plans and regulations to avoid arousing suspicion. Moreover, it was a turbulent time, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they had to continue to wait and make a decision after the dust settled.
Therefore, it is not difficult to send someone to the *** government to interrogate an attendant.
Ye Qingwan is an excellent painter, and it is no problem for her to draw any small portrait.
Hearing Shen Nanzhi's need, she nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll draw it when I get back."
Seeing her smile brightly again, Shen Nanzhi finally asked the question that had been bothering her: "Awan, tell me the truth, are you... in love with my uncle?"
In the past, when the two families were planning to form an alliance, no matter whether Ye Kunshan intended to become a relative of the Shen family or was just putting on a show, he had definitely asked Ye Qingwan what she thought in front of everyone.
It was she who flatly refused the marriage with Shen Huaishu.
That's why Shen Nanzhi had always misunderstood her, thinking that she had no interest in her uncle. However, ever since the last time she came back from the Autumn Hunting Ground, when she saw what happened to the Shen family and knew that Shen Huaishu might also be plotted against, Ye Qingwan's panic and nervousness were obviously wrong.
This speculation just emerged at that time.
Putting aside the matter of Ye Kunshan, Ye Qingwan is upright and kind, her character is impeccable, and she is efficient and effective. Over the years, she has been in charge of the Ye family. When the Shen family is handed over to her in the future, her aunt and others can rest assured and enjoy their old age. If she becomes the younger aunt, no one in the Shen family should be unwilling.
As for Ye Kunshan, it’s the same as Liu Jingya and the Liu family. The Shen family wants to marry Ye Qingwan, and they value her as a person, and it has nothing to do with her family.
Anyway, my uncle hasn't come to his senses yet and has no one else in his heart. If Ye Qingwan is interested, Shen Nanzhi will keep her in the capital no matter what, and then match them up when my uncle comes back.
If neither of them is willing, Shen Nanzhi certainly won't force it, but it would be regrettable if they missed each other.
Moreover, Shen Nanzhi was also very curious. She clearly felt that Ye Qingwan had special feelings for her uncle, so why did she refuse so firmly at the beginning?
Since everything had been said now, Shen Nanzhi asked frankly.
Hearing this, Ye Qingwan was slightly stunned.
The pavilion they were in was next to a lotus pond. It was early summer, and the pond was full of new lotus flowers. There was a gentle breeze, bringing with it a light, relaxing scent of green grass, which was very pleasant.
Ye Qingwan held Shen Nanzhi's hand, took a long breath, and then slowly said: "I do like Master Shen, and I didn't mean what I said when I refused the marriage."
Shen Nanzhi suddenly realized that he was right.
Ye Qingwan turned her head to look at the sparkling lotus pond and said leisurely, "But he doesn't like me. Moreover, Shen Changan also said that my personality is not suitable to be the mistress of the Shen family. He said that I was wronging his uncle by marrying here."
Shen Nanzhi was completely confused.
Ye Qingwan smiled bitterly and continued, "I was passing by the corridor at that time and happened to hear Shen Changan asking about Master Shen."
Speaking of this, the scene at that time couldn't help but reappear in Ye Qingwan's mind.
It was also such an early summer afternoon. Shen Changan, who was carefree, lay on the bench in the waterside pavilion and teased Shen Huaishu with a smile: "Uncle, I heard that the unruly young lady of the Ye family is going to be my aunt? Her unreasonable temper is exactly the same as Zhizhi's. Wouldn't our Shen family be in chaos by then? You don't really like that girl, do you?"
Ye Qingwan wanted to go through the corridor to the backyard to find Shen Nanzhi, but she heard this out of the blue.
At that moment, her steps seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and even her heart was in her throat.
The more you like someone, the more sensitive you are, and the more humble you are.
All these years, the love that she had carefully hidden was torn open at this moment, and was exposed in front of everyone, waiting for that person to make the final judgment.
However, I did not get the answer I longed for in my heart.
I only heard that person say in his usual gentle voice: "Don't talk about the girl like that. She is like your cousin, so you should protect her more."
Shen Changan was dissatisfied with being scolded, and said casually: "Since you treat her as a junior and have no feelings for her, you still want to marry her. Don't you feel wronged? Who doesn't want to marry the person they like?"
At that moment, time seemed to be stretched to a hundred years.
Although it is already summer, the wind blowing from the other side of the water pavilion seems to be bitingly cold.
Shen Huaishu is an upright gentleman, and everything he says is impeccable.
He just said gently, but his tone was not the slightest bit up and down: "For me, as long as a girl has a good character and is worthy of being the mistress of the Shen family, it's good enough."
Although he was speaking for Ye Qingwan, he did not refute Shen Changan's words that "there is no love between men and women".
Given his temper, if something is wrong, he will definitely correct Shen Changan immediately.
However, he didn't.
Therefore, he was willing to marry Ye Qingwan only because Ye Qingwan was suitable and the elders of both families had no objection.
But in his heart, he always regarded Ye Qingwan as a junior like Shen Nanzhi.
At that moment, Ye Qingwan, who was originally filled with joy and anxiety about marrying her lover, felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her head, and her mood fell to the bottom.
It happened that several elders were discussing this matter in the front hall. She was so ashamed and angry that she turned around and refused it in person.
From then on, even though she couldn't let go of that obsession, she didn't dare to show it at all.
Especially Shen Changan's statement that "he was wronged". Although reason told her that it might not be wrong to stand on Shen Changan's point of view, she noticed that Shen Changan's emotions were always out of control. Look, his nose was not a nose, and his eyes were not eyes.
This is why she and Shen Changan don't get along.
The reason lies with her.
No matter how good her relationship with Shen Nanzhi was, she was too embarrassed to say these words. After all, one of them was Shen Nanzhi's cousin and the other was her uncle. If Shen Nanzhi accidentally let the cat out of the bag in front of them one day, she would be really ashamed.
It was not until now, when Shen Nanzhi asked, that Ye Qingwan finally mustered up the courage to tell what happened that year.
At the end, she said apologetically: "You always said that Shen Changan and I didn't get along, but it was actually my fault."
After hearing this, Shen Nanzhi didn't know what to say for a moment.
Based on her understanding of Shen Changan's carefree personality, he was most likely just teasing Ye Qingwan, without any intention. However, Ye Qingwan was confused and took it seriously.
As for my uncle...
Shen Nanzhi was certain that his uncle really had no one else in his heart. Even in his previous life, all of them mistakenly believed that his uncle was deeply in love with the third daughter of the Wen family, but in fact, it was only because his uncle thought she was suitable and to repay the kindness of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion in the past.
Moreover, if my uncle really disliked or even resisted Ye Qingwan at the beginning, he would not have allowed my grandfather and others to propose this marriage.
Since they brought it up, it means they had consulted my uncle's opinion beforehand.
Shen Nanzhi broke down these words and finished speaking to Ye Qingwan, but saw Ye Qingwan smile sadly: "Maybe you have a point, but in this situation, even if the Shen family is generous, I can't get over this hurdle in my heart, and Master Shen deserves a better girl."
Shen Nanzhi wanted to persuade her again, but Ye Qingwan waved her hand and said, "I'll go back and help you draw the attendant. Oh, by the way, there's also the gift I gave you. I've just handed it over to the concierge. I embroidered them myself when I had nothing to do. You're not good at embroidery. Although your mother-in-law doesn't make things difficult for you, you'll be married tomorrow. Your embroidery is too ugly. It will always make people laugh at you, right?"
Only the last few sentences seemed like Ye Qingwan was used to teasing Shen Nanzhi.
Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll take it. After I finish this matter, I'll find you for something else. Even if Uncle Ye returns to Qingzhou, it won't be that fast."
Ye Qingwan agreed with a smile.
Shen Nanzhi personally sent her to the door.
She had just taken a break from talking to Ye Qingwan, but was then pulled over by her mother and aunt to talk.
Several aunts didn't know the situation on Xiao Chuyun's side, and they just thought that the King of Zhenbei was seriously ill in bed and couldn't personally welcome the bride.
Although there were rumors outside that Xiao Chuyun was in poor health and could not have sex, after all, Shen Nanzhi had not yet married, and the aunts did not dare to ask too many questions. They just mysteriously stuffed a booklet into Shen Nanzhi's hands and told her to read it after the prince got better. In addition, they gave her some earnest instructions.
Although Shen Nanzhi's ears were almost callused from listening to so much these days, his aunt and the others were still worried and told him everything they could think of, no matter how big or small.
Shen Nanzhi didn't seem impatient, on the contrary, he was very friendly.
Although Xiao Chuyun would not restrain her and she could come back whenever she wanted, it was not as convenient as living in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Moreover, when Xiao Chuyun comes back and takes that position in the future, she should also move to the palace. It is not easy to go out, and there are many rules that restrict her.
Time like this, spent at home listening to my mother and aunts' chatter, seems so precious.
Not only Shen Nanzhi was reluctant to leave, but also A Niang and several aunts were reluctant to leave.
They were all talking excitedly at the beginning, but their eyes were red by the end.
If they hadn't taken into consideration the customs of Da Qi, which prohibit crying before the wedding for fear of ruining Shen Nanzhi's good fortune, they would have lost control long ago.
That night, Shen Nanzhi stayed in A Niang's yard and slept on the same couch with A Niang.
After Lu Pianpian's treatment, A'niang's health has improved a lot and her complexion has become rosy.
When Shen Nanzhi was a child, he always pestered his mother and wanted to sleep with her. However, his mother considered that she would wake up coughing countless times at night, and was afraid of disturbing Shen Nanzhi's sleep and passing the disease to Shen Nanzhi, so she had to refuse cruelly.
Ever since Shen Nanzhi could remember, she had always slept alone.
Shen Yanxin always felt guilty about this.
Now that her health has improved, she can finally sleep a full night and be with Shen Nanzhi, but Shen Nanzhi is also getting married.
That night, the mother and daughter slept with their feet together and talked about personal matters for half the night until Shen Nanzhi could no longer keep her eyelids open and finally fell into a drowsy sleep.
But as soon as she closed her eyes, she heard the voice of Grandma Xi coming from outside.
It's time for the bride to get up.
