Lin Shutong glanced at Wen Chuyao who had been sitting next to the empress dowager, then turned to look at Yu Tingwan.

"Wanwan, you must be wondering why Wen Chuyao suddenly called your name. You two have never met before."

"Didn't the Queen Mother ask her to do this?"

Yu Tingwan was also puzzled just now, but after thinking about it, she thought that it might be the Queen Mother who asked her to do this. After all, the nanny beside her fell ill not long after she entered the palace.

And then she committed suicide. It was normal for her to have doubts in her heart, and it was reasonable for her to be unhappy and want others to cause trouble for her. However, it was not certain whether I should follow her wishes.

"No, I guess it's her own idea."

Lin Shutong looked around, especially at his mother and the eldest princess, and saw that they seemed not to have heard and did not try to stop him. Then he said something that left Yu Tingwan speechless.

"There were rumors before that Wen Chuyao once liked Prince Chen! That's why she paid attention to you at the banquet."

Like Shen Chenli? So this is Shen Chenli's peach blossom?

That’s not right. If that was the case, why was it Yu Tingwan who married Shen Chenli in the end?

"Wanwan, you didn't go around the capital before, so you didn't know. That happened several years ago, when the previous emperor was still in power. It seemed that Wen Chuyao had just come of age, and she went to the emperor's uncle who had just returned from a great victory to express her feelings, but she was rejected by the uncle, and finally returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion crying."

what?

Yu Tingwan raised his eyebrows when he heard this. During the reign of the previous emperor?

Although this doesn't sound like a big deal in modern times, at most it's considered puppy love, and they can get married here, just like in the original body. However, here, if a woman goes to a man to confess her love, such a thing should be considered as a heinous crime and against women's training, right?

Yu Tingwan admired such a brave man, but he just didn't succeed in the end.

But even though she admires her, it doesn't mean she can cause trouble for her now!

how?

Shen Chenli rejected you, and instead of causing trouble for Shen Chenli, you come to me to seek attention?

Do you think I'm easy to bully?

"Then why didn't she ask the emperor for permission to marry them when Shen Chenli granted them the marriage?"

Wouldn't that be a way to fulfill yourself? Or did you choose to give up because you didn't know whether Shen Chenli was alive or dead?

Shen Anhe looked at Yu Tingwan in surprise. Why wasn't she excited? She also asked why she didn't ask for an imperial decree to grant the marriage. You know, if Wen Chuyao really asked for an imperial decree to grant the marriage, it would have nothing to do with her!

"Wanwan, you don't know that the Wen family actually kept this matter secret at the time, and no one was allowed to say a word about it, because the Wen family would not let their carefully trained daughter marry a prince who could not become the emperor."

Looking up, I saw that the Queen Mother and the current Queen were both from the Wen family, so Miss Wen Chuyao would also be the Queen in the future.

Yu Tingwan couldn't help but sigh, so this is the reason why she can't marry Shen Chenli?

What about Shen Chenli? Wouldn't he also be lovesick and go to the frontier just to earn a good future for himself and his beloved? But fate played tricks on him and he returned to the capital with serious injuries. The dog emperor didn't behave like a human being and missed the good marriage?

While Yu Tingwan was busy imagining things, Shen Chenli was playing chess with the emperor on the other side, sneezing one after another!

"What's wrong with Jin? Do you need to call a doctor?"

Shen Chenli looked up at the emperor, shook his head, and casually dropped a piece.

"No need to call me brother, maybe I'm wearing too thin clothes today."

Is someone saying something bad about him? I don't know what's going on with Yu Tingwan.

The emperor glanced at Shen Chenli, who was still wearing several extra layers even though it was spring, and his eyes became increasingly serious.

"Your health is still not good. I have told you so many times before that I should let the imperial physician check your pulse every day so that I can rest assured. But now, you have driven them away one by one."

Shen Chenli listened obediently and waited until the emperor finished speaking before speaking again:

"I'm sorry to trouble you, my brother. But my current health is such that even if I check my pulse every day, there won't be any good results. I have to listen to the imperial physician telling me that there is no medicine to cure it. It makes me feel uncomfortable. In this case, it's better not to see a doctor. I can feel better."

The emperor sighed helplessly and then compromised.

"Okay, whatever you want. But I still have to check my pulse every month. I can't just let it go. You know, my second child, ah, you guys really, none of you makes me worry."

When Shen Chenli heard him mention Prince Xin, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Jing Yue still refuses to come out?"

The emperor shook his head helplessly, "Let's not talk about him anymore. After all these years, I just hope that he can live a good life in the future and not do anything stupid."

Shen Chenli didn't say anything more. What happened to Prince Xin had nothing to do with him.

"Oh, by the way, I heard that your princess went to Shangshu Yu's mansion to make trouble some time ago?"

Shen Chenli looked at the emperor, seeming a little annoyed.

"My royal brother, where did you hear that? Ting Wan just went back to her parents' home to pay respects to her mother. The second young lady in the residence of Minister Yu is totally uneducated. She occupied her elder sister's courtyard and even spread the news that Ting Wan treated her badly.

Humph! Fortunately, Minister Yu was so confused that he asked Ting Wan to marry him instead. Otherwise, if I had married a wife like that, even if it was granted by the Emperor, I would have to divorce her and marry again!"

The emperor was so confused by his words that he didn't know what to say and kept pointing at him and scolding him for a long time.

"You... you really are! You still speak so naively. Be careful that those old guys in the Censorate will hear you and report you!"

Shen Chenli was not afraid at all. He drank a sip of tea and said confidently, "Let them participate. I did nothing wrong. Even my brother is really something. He granted me marriage while I was still unconscious. Fortunately, the person was changed!"

"Why? Are you so fond of this one now? I heard there's been quite a stir in the capital recently, don't you think she's messing around?"

The emperor thought of Yu Tingwan's appearance when he saw her last time. She was indeed very beautiful, but it was a pity that she was not taken into the harem. Thinking about it now, he still felt annoyed.

And he knew that his royal brother was not a man who was greedy for beauty, otherwise he would not have been so worried before!

But what happened now? Could it be that he suddenly got it?

Shen Chenli knew it, and he understood the emperor's eyes. He naturally did not miss the lust in that moment, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of resentment in the depths of his heart.

"I don't think it was the princess who was reckless. Those people did that and treated the princess in the same way. She was just giving them back in their own way."

The emperor frowned. He had heard about what happened before. What Yu Tingwan did was not excessive. However, he was concerned about Shen Chenli's reaction.

He seemed very satisfied with Yu Tingwan, which also made him a little worried. He wondered if Yu Tingwan had already confessed to him what he had told her before.

After all, the death of the traitor was too coincidental, and Yu Tingwan had not come to the palace for such a long time.

But... looking at the look on Shen Chenli's face in front of him, if he knew what he had done, given his personality, he would definitely come to cause trouble for him.

Why is there no reaction now? Is it true that he really doesn't know?
