Bondage

Shen Qianyu walked out of the palace in the dark, and soon arrived at the house in the suburbs of Beijing.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Wan Xiao sitting in the yard drinking, Shen Qianyu frowned slightly: "Why are you here? There's nothing else to do in Dongchang?"

Wan Xiao said: "This subordinate is here to report to His Highness."

"What letter?"

"The Marquis of Chengyang sent a woman here, and she has been sneaking around for the past few days and I don't know what she's doing."

"Have you ever entered the house?"

Wan Xiao said: "This has never happened before."

Shen Qianyu nodded, turned around and walked towards his room. Wan Xiao saw that the direction he was going was not the back door which was closer to Song Wan's house, so he couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, aren't you going to the house of the Song family's daughter?"

Shen Qianyu paused when he heard the words: "You..."

"The subordinates don't understand."

Wan Xiao held the flagon as if drunk, Shen Qianyu sneered: "Break into a woman's boudoir in the middle of the night, who do you think I am? What do you think a girl's family is?"

"So disregarding women's reputation, such a small trip, is it a gentleman's action?"

Wan Xiao opened his mouth, before Shen Qianyu said a word: "The servant is just a ostensible identity, I am a man after all, how can I bully a delicate woman just because she doesn't know the truth?"

"And don't you know that there are people from the Chengyang Marquis Mansion outside? I am such a despicable and shameless person who insists on going even though I know it will bring disaster to others?"

Shen Qianyu uttered these few words sonorously and forcefully, Wan Xiao's thin lips opened and closed, and finally closed tightly.

This righteous appearance made Wan Xiao almost think that he was the one who entered Song Wan's house in the dark a few days ago.

"Is the kitchen ready to boil water?"

Wan Xiao nodded, Shen Qianyu said: "I'm going to take a bath, and I'll see the Song family's daughter tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Shen Qianyu left, leaving behind Wan Xiao who was holding a jug with an inexplicable expression on his face.

I don't know what happened to his master recently, aside from his strange words, it is really puzzling to come here to take a bath in the middle of the night.

Leaving Shen Qianyu behind, Wan Xiao picked up the jug and drank it alone.

This house is not big, there is only a wooden barrel, a washstand, and a small table for clothes in the bathroom.

Shen Qianyu took out the pearls in his bosom and put them on the small table, threw the clothes on the ground and stepped into the bathtub.

The man closed his eyes to rest, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the huge brand of slave character on his shoulder.

This thing was branded on him by the Nanqing witch when she went crazy, and it has been integrated with that scar all these years ago.

He had never felt it in the past, and for some reason, he found it very glaring when he saw it today.

Picking up the water towel and wiping it vigorously twice, Shen Qianyu was irritable and left to get up and get dressed.

When he was dressed properly, he put away the pearl box on the small table and put it in front of his chest.

After a night without dreams, Shen Qianyu changed into coarse clothes the next day, and pushed a wooden cart full of vegetables to Song Wan's house.When Grandma Lang opened the door and saw his attire, her heart skipped a beat, and she instantly knew that someone was watching him nearby.

After welcoming the person in, Shen Qianyu straightened up.

Song Wan is making lip balm with Heng Zhiheng Wu and Jin Shuluan in the courtyard.There are a few dishes that have been solidified next to it, and Song Wan is taking one and dabbing it on his lips.

The bronze mirror in his hand happened to reflect Shen Qianyu who entered the door, and Song Wan looked back in surprise.

"Eunuch Ji Rong is here?"

Busily took the handkerchief and wiped off the rouge on her lips, Song Wan's face turned reddish, she felt that her disheveled appearance was very disrespectful.

With thin red on her ears, she invited Shen Qianyu into the main hall to take a seat.

"Girl's things, return them today."

Putting the pearl in front of Song Wan, Shen Qianyu spoke lightly.

"Trouble your father-in-law."

Putting away the mother's belongings carefully, Song Wan was as considerate as always, and did not ask why the things were not left for Concubine Yun.

Shen Qianyu told Song Wan about the entry into the East Palace and the death of the eldest prince yesterday, Song Wan blinked her eyes and was speechless for a moment.

She already had an outstanding appearance, but now she looked soft and lovely without any makeup on her lips with a slight smear of lipstick, which made Shen Qianyu's complexion tense, and she stiffly looked away.

He said Wan Xiao didn't understand.

If Wan Xiao was present, he might agree with what he said earlier.

Shen Qianyu's face was solemn, and Song Wan frowned slightly when he saw it.

This father-in-law Ji Rong told his father about forcing his father to stand in line, while looking dull and serious, but he is dissatisfied with the Song family?

Unable to guess what he meant for a while, Song Wan couldn't help feeling worried.

After thinking for a moment, she said softly: "During this period of time, getting along with my father-in-law can be regarded as a kind of friendship. If I have something to say, I will ask my father-in-law directly."

"I wonder if the prince is dissatisfied with the Song family?"

Shen Qianyu was silently smacking some affection for that sentence, and shook his head lightly when he heard this remark: "The prince has no such intentions, how could the girl have such an idea?"

Song Wan saw that Shen Qianyu's complexion became more and more serious, and he squeezed the handkerchief nervously.

The prince's move has pulled the entire Song family on board. If the prince is dissatisfied with his father, he will not be able to settle accounts with Qiuhou in the future.

Thinking that although it was Song Fu who first met Ji Rong, she was the one who brought the Song family to the prince, thinking about this, Song Wan felt uneasy.

"male……"

"Song Xiao..."

The two spoke in unison, and Shen Qianyu said, "Miss Song, please tell me."

Song Wan shook his head, not knowing what to say for a while.

Talking too much will only leave the prince with the impression that the Song family is greedy, which is not beautiful.

Shen Qianyu seemed to understand what Song Wan was thinking, and thought for a while and said, "It's just a matter of judging the situation, the crown prince will not hold grudges against Master Song because of this, Miss Song can rest assured."

He is not the kind of narrow-minded person who would take such a small matter to heart.

"Today, the prince has a question that he doesn't understand, and wants to ask the girl."

"Father, please speak."

Shen Qianyu said: "Although the prince can now gain a firm foothold in the harem, the courtiers and the people of the world may not recognize me... as the master of the family. I don't know how to resolve this dilemma."

Song Wan lowered his eyes, pondering the words.

Although the prince is backed by Dongchang Tong's aunt, he can only keep the position of prince temporarily. It is really difficult for the courtiers and the people to recognize his identity.

He has no mother to rely on, no court supporter who sincerely supports him, and there is no one behind him, so it is difficult to walk in the court.

After thinking for a while, Song Wan said softly: "The prince has no personal possessions, so he can only achieve his position through virtue."

"My aunt is currently supporting the prince. When the prince appears in front of everyone, her fans will definitely think about the prince's situation. If the prince is a wise king worth following, someone will definitely surrender."

"The fifth prince is really young, and it will be a big unknown when he grows up, let alone no one knows what he will look like in the future."

"Don't look at the auspiciousness everywhere in the world these days, but how can those things fool the people in the court? It's auspicious, it's better to say that Jiang Man used the name of the vision from the sky to wash away all the things left by the previous farce in the Houfu. Such a stigma."

"Although the prince does not have a mother's family, as long as his benevolence, justice, propriety and wisdom are rooted in his heart, he will be able to implement benevolent government in the future and benefit all people in the world, and there will be people who will follow him voluntarily."

"After all, there is a good candidate in front of me, so why wait for an unknown person to grow up slowly?"

"The crown prince respects the virtuous and virtuous, and treats his officials like brothers and sisters. After a long time, the officials will regard the king as his heart."

Song Wan's tone was gentle and soft, maybe the two of them were talking about such treasonous words, which made her a little cautious, so some of the words were not very clear, and Shen Qianyu's ears were like cotton balls being shot at the apex of her heart, Crispy and itchy.

He raised his eyes and glanced faintly at Song Wan, only to feel that the Song family must have had some serious thoughts.
