Bondage

Song Wan only felt that a thought flashed in her mind but quickly disappeared, giving her time to think carefully in the future.

"Do you have something to ask Ben... Eunuch?"

Seeing the doubts in Song Wan's eyes, Shen Qianyu spoke lightly, interrupting her meditation.

Song Wan nodded: "I don't know when the father-in-law will join the prince's command?"

Was it because he was afraid that he would not have the right to speak in front of the prince, so that he would waste all his efforts in dealing with him?

Unexpectedly, this person is still thoughtful and meticulous in his work.

After thinking about it, Shen Qianyu said, "Eight years."

In eight years, that is, when the prince returned to Shangjing, he was by his side. Such people must be highly valued by the East Palace.

Song Wan felt relieved, no longer afraid of being busy for nothing.

It's just that she still has a question. Although she didn't know if this person would answer her, she still asked after thinking for a while, "I don't know if my father-in-law can tell me conveniently, why did the prince attack the eldest prince during the Lantern Festival?"

Shen Qianyu suddenly laughed when he heard the words.

This woman is really smart.

"Miss Song wants to ask the prince whether he has the means to deal with the first prince after he returned to Beijing eight years ago, or why he has the strength but why he did it when the first prince has been deposed?"

The former was asking about his current strength, while the latter was asking if he had the kindness of mind worthy of Song Fu.

Shen Qianyu looked at Song Wan, and seemed to understand why Jiang Yan always put his sister-in-law at the top of his heart.

This woman is indeed extraordinary, but it's not that she has a beautiful skin as he originally thought.

Thinking of Jiang Yan, Shen Qianyu frowned, feeling sorry again.

Seeing that he asked straightforwardly, Song Wan blushed in embarrassment.

Most of the verbal exchanges in the back house were tactful and cryptic, wishing they could make ten or eight detours, ordinarily people in the harem should be like this, but I don't know why this person is not like the eunuch she usually sees.

Song Wan was puzzled, so he imitated Shen Qianyu's temperament and asked straightforwardly.

Sure enough, Shen Qianyu's face was bright, Song Wan knew that this person likes to be straightforward.

"I'm from Dongchang."

It is probably because she has pretended to be an eunuch these years, and Shen Qianyu is very familiar with this lie.

"Eunuch Wei Dao is a little different from the servants in the palace."

Song Wan had only heard about Dongchang's notoriety, but had never seen Dongchang's hawks and dogs, so he didn't know the difference between Dongchang and the servants in the palace, so it seemed reasonable to hear what he said.

"I don't know if the father-in-law can answer for you?"

Shen Qianyu said: "It is possible."

"The prince will attack the eldest prince during the Lantern Festival. It's not because he didn't have the opportunity before, but because the eldest prince was the most popular candidate for succession before being given up by the Holy Majesty."

"At that time, the third and fifth princes were still young, if the eldest prince suddenly died suddenly, there would be internal troubles in the court."

There is Nanqing outside, and troubles are born inside, which is not good for the country and the family, Shen Qianyu disdains to do this.Later, it was revealed that the eldest prince had a lack of personal virtue and was banned by the Holy Lord for a long time. He didn't find an opportunity to delay until now.

"It's all about personal grievances. In the prince's heart, he thinks that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country's society is the most important thing. How can we lose the big because of small things?"

No matter how much he doesn't like Shen Qianchi and Emperor Wen Hui, he will not provoke a civil war in the court for his own selfishness. He still has the bloodiness of a man.

Picking up a piece of crispy candy and throwing it into his mouth, Shen Qianyu started to eat it.

Song Wan opened his eyes wide, slightly astonished.

"I can't eat?"

She shook her head blankly: "Of course I can eat it."

She just had never seen such... such an indulgent person.

Turning his gaze away from Shen Qianyu, Song Wan said: "The crown prince is both benevolent and wise, righteous and courageous, it's really a blessing for the imperial court."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Shen Qianyu became interested.

These were Song Wan's sincere words, but there was also a bit of sincerity in her heart. She thought for a moment and said: "The prince has suffered from selfishness since childhood, and has never been treated fairly. Moreover, he has been a hostage in Nanqing for many years, so he must suffer. A lot of inhuman tortures. But the prince has not seen any evil in his actions, and his mind is still bright."

"Taste the dangers of the world, but still understand the sufferings of the people with good intentions. After a long period of darkness without losing the heart of a child, it can be seen that the prince's nature is good."

"Blindly being kind without being betrayed by hardships, Xu Shi can only say that he is naive, but he has seen a lot of sinister hearts like the prince, and he can still put the survival of others before himself..."

Song Wan smiled faintly: "I think the benevolence of the prince can truly be called a great kindness."

"In addition to the Lantern Festival, he acted cleanly. He never lost the righteousness in his heart because of hatred, and tortured those who hated him for a long time. It can be seen that his heart is open-minded, neither cowardly nor bloody."

"If my dynasty falls into the hands of the prince, the sea will be cleared and the rivers will be cleared, and the world will be peaceful."

Shen Qianyu's expression was dull at first, and then he laughed: "Miss Song is very good at this way of flattery."

Song Wan was made angry by what he said, and his face turned crimson.

Although she did pick some good things to say because she wanted to surrender, there was also a good deal of sincerity in those words.But the waiter in front of him didn't know what was going on, so he actually laughed at her.

Song Wan pursed her lips slightly, feeling a little angry.

Seeing this, Shen Qianyu knew that she was sincere, so he couldn't help sighing secretly.

There is one person in the world who understands his suffering and speaks a fair word for him, and he feels that is enough.Those days and nights in Nanqing where I couldn't sleep due to pain and humiliation seemed to gradually fade away. The anger and resentment in my heart because of my inability to change the status quo and my inability to break free from the shackles of identity and responsibility gradually subsided because of Song Wan's words.

Shen Qianyu smiled lightly: "I will pass on what Miss Song said today to the Crown Prince of the East Palace."

"It's just that as far as I know, Mr. Song seems to be more interested in the fifth prince. If the Song family has the heart of stepping on two boats, they have to think about whether they will capsize and fall into the ditch in the future."

Song Wan squeezed the handkerchief, and was speechless for a while.

Shen Qianyu knew that she couldn't be Song Lan'an's master, so she didn't feel embarrassed.

Being able to get Song Fu's support is not enough for today's harvest. Compared with Song Lan'an, he actually values ​​Song Yuning who is in the harem more.

Shen Qianyu knew that if he wanted to secure the crown prince, Song Yuning's help would be indispensable.

"I will bring this to my brother as it is."

Shen Qianyu nodded, no longer looking into the Song family's affairs.

The two were silent for a moment, and when Song Wan was about to leave, Shen Qianyu suddenly said: "I heard...your elder brother said that you have read a lot of books?"

"A few books have been skimmed."

Shen Qianyu said: "The prince went to Nanqing as a hostage since he was a child. No one taught him how to deal with advances and retreats, rites and music to shoot the number of imperial books, etc., but if he wants to mediate with the aristocratic family, he must know how to contact them. The prince does not know the favor of the aristocratic family in Beijing. If there is nothing wrong with you, you can teach him how to cultivate himself and govern others."

If it is said that the most headache for Shen Qianyu when returning to Shangjing is dealing with those aristocratic families.

He has no counselors around him, and he dare not reveal his identity easily, so for so many years, relying on his Tong Dongchang's strength, he has only made friends with a few officials the size of sesame seeds, and everyone's bastards.

A lot of money was lost, but none of the useful people were handed over.

Shen Qianyu never understood why he couldn't integrate into the eldest sons of those aristocratic families.

But as soon as this matter was mentioned, Song Wan knew what Shen Qianyu meant.

After thinking about it, Song Wan said: "The elders of the third generation know how to be dressed, the elders of the fifth generation know how to eat and drink, the family of wealth and honor is handed down, walking, sitting and lying down, there are rules for how to advance and retreat, how to dress and how to eat, when to say something, when to speak. It’s knowledge to keep your mouth shut and not open your mouth.”

"If you don't understand, or if you're rude, you won't be able to integrate into the children of these aristocratic families."

"The prince has not been influenced by him since he was a child, so it is really difficult to communicate with him."
