Chapter 177 The Maids in the Palace Are on Strike (47)
Gao Yu followed and heard Song Liaoye say:
"Gao Yu, take a few people with you and stay here to protect her. If a single hair is missing, I will hold you responsible!"
"Yes!"
Gao Yu lowered his head, watched the man leave, and then he stood guard outside the house diligently.
After a while, Song Huayao came back.
She didn't know what the two of them talked about, but when she saw that Song Liaoye looked unhappy when he left, she knew that the conversation might not have been very good.
After she entered the house, she saw Shen Fanli standing in front of the railing. She walked over and the fireworks in the sky were still blooming, looking beautiful and grand.
Before Song Huayao could speak, she felt someone was looking at them, and she subconsciously looked down.
They saw Song Liaoye below looking up at them, or rather the person next to her.
Shen Fanli seemed unaware of the gaze. She was looking at the sky, wondering what she was thinking.
Song Huayao knew that the fireworks were set off by her brother. She watched for a few seconds and asked, "Sister Fanli, do they look good?"
She pointed at the fireworks in the sky.
Shen Fanli nodded, "Not bad."
Song Huayao didn't know how to ask about the matter between the two of them. She asked her brother, but Song Liaoye just said, "Kid, you don't understand."
Song Liaoye waved his hand and let her leave. When Song Huayao left, she faintly heard him say, "I am sorry for her..."
Song Huayao knew that the two had a conflict and Sister Fanli was even unwilling to go back to the capital with them. It must be that the emperor had done something hurtful.
Because Sister Fanli has a good temper and always treats the emperor very well.
The relationship between the two seems to be unable to accommodate a third person.
She was very envious when she was a child.
Now that I have a lover, I vaguely understand this feeling.
She also asked Sister Fanli, and Sister Fanli also said that they were just children and did not tell her what happened.
Song Huayao looked again and saw that the group of people below had already left.
Just as she was about to say something, Shen Fanli gathered his moon-white fox fur cloak and said, "It's windy outside, let's go inside."
Shen Fanli turned around and went back into the house, and Song Huayao followed him in.
"Sister Fanli, we will be returning to Shangjing in two days at most. Are you really not going to go with us?"
Shen Fanli shook his head.
"It's nice here, much more comfortable than in Beijing."
At this point, Song Huayao nodded. She did feel that there were many rules and regulations for going to the capital, especially after she was named the eldest princess.
"That's true, Sister Fanli. You don't know that those old bastards in the Ministry of Rites always find me and complain about things. I just don't want to listen. It's so annoying."
"..."
Song Huayao immediately turned the topic to the teachers and ministers in the capital, and chattered about those things with Shen Fanli.
......
On the day Song Liaoye left, Wen Honglang also left with him.
There is no way. The emperor has given an order and we dare not disobey.
Gao Yu warned him:
"If His Majesty sees Lord Wen in front of Miss Shen again, Lord Wen will be worried about you wearing this black gauze hat."
Song Liaoye is not a gentleman. He has been a prince since he was a child and now he is a noble emperor. Countless officials kneel down to him and people die with just a wave of his hand. He has been domineering and overbearing for a long time, especially when it comes to Shen Fanli, he is extremely paranoid.
If you want to snatch people from the emperor, you must risk your life.
Gao Yu also felt that Lord Wen was really dishonest. He took advantage of the time when Miss Shen and His Majesty had an argument and left to sneak in, which was not a gentlemanly act.
When the emperor is angry, millions of people will die. This is not just a simple saying.
There are very few people in this world who can affect Song Liaoye's emotions, and Miss Shen is that person.
His Majesty wanted to marry Miss Shen as his wife by offering her the title of Queen, but Miss Shen did not agree.
Gao Yu really couldn't understand what the two were thinking.
This was not the first time that Wen Honglang had heard someone say this. How dare a minister covet the future mother of the country?
Besides, Miss Shen had no interest in him.
He could only smile bitterly and lower his eyes to hide his somewhat dim eyes.
......
Song Liaoye also went to the Dai Mansion to visit Mr. Dai Sanye.
He was dissatisfied with Mr. Dai San before because he had abandoned Shen Fanli and even intended to strangle her to death. He heard this from the nanny who was with his mother. He was still young at that time, and Shen Fanli was just a child who envied family affection.
Since Shen Fanli has recognized him as his father, he may have forgotten the past long ago. Song Liaoye naturally would not bring it up. He was quite respectful to Master Dai San and treated him like his father-in-law.
Before leaving, she also said that she hoped the Third Master would not arrange a marriage for Fanli at random.
What he meant was that he knew about the matchmaking between Mr. Dai San and Shen Fanli.
Mr. Dai Sanye had intended to let Shen Fanli and Dai Jingsheng have more contact to see if Fanli could accept it. Later, after Shen Fanli said directly that she only regarded Dai Jingsheng as an elder brother, Mr. Dai Sanye gave up the idea and then looked for some young talents. Wen Honglang's arrival was exactly what Mr. Dai Sanye wanted. He had been in Suzhou City for many years and naturally had some understanding of some aristocratic families. The Jiangnan Wen family was all upright people, but there were indeed more rules.
During this period of time, he also gradually understood his daughter's character. She was very opinionated and didn't like those complicated rules and regulations. Mr. Dai Sanye already felt guilty towards Shen Fanli, and thought that his daughter might not like such a noble family with so many rules. Before he could do anything, the new emperor came.
Mr. Dai San naturally wouldn't do anything more this time.
Song Liaoye briefly explained to Master Dai Sanye what happened in the capital. Master Dai Sanye looked a little unhappy at first, but his expression soon disappeared. After all, it was normal for men in that era to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that the new emperor had no wife and was going to marry Shen Fanli as his queen.
Song Liaoye also asked Mr. Dai San to persuade Shen Fanli, as he was unwilling to use tough measures.
Mr. Dai San pondered for a moment and shook his head. Although he didn't know what his daughter was thinking, since she didn't want to, he would definitely not push her to do it, so as not to hurt this family relationship that was delayed for more than 20 years. If Jing'er knew about it in the afterlife, she would definitely not forgive him.
It has been some time since Song Liaoye left Shangjing, and the letters he receives every day are piled high.
He wanted to take the person back with him, but it was no use no matter how he tried to persuade him.
Fortunately, he did not return empty-handed.
At least, she was safe and seemed to be doing well.
It was not as he thought, that he would be bullied.
It seemed that he didn't understand her as well as he thought.
But it seemed that another voice told him that this was her, and only her.
The day he left, he stood in Yunlin Courtyard for a long time.
The snow pressed down the red plum blossoms, and the accumulated snow fell along the branches and hit the snow.
The cold wind penetrated through the heavy cloak and penetrated into the bones, making people feel cold.
Song Liaoye did not wait for Shen Fanli to come out.
He suppressed the urge to forcibly abduct Shen Fanli.
He knocked on Shen Fanli's door and said softly, "I'm leaving. You, take care of yourself. If there's anything, let Fei Yang do it."
"The throne is vacant. I will wait for you to come back."
He left behind a token and a group of people for Shen Fanli to command.
