In the fourth generation, Shen Shilai was the much-loved eldest prince, competing with the equally intelligent fourth prince for the crown prince.Thanks to the help of the Meng family, Shen Shilai successfully became the heir apparent.Not long after, the first emperor passed away, and he inherited the throne logically, and as promised, he gave the first daughter of the Meng family a successor.It's just that in the past three years, they have never crossed the line and have always treated each other like guests.

Mencius Jin really likes His Majesty, but she really doesn't have any ambitions, she just wants to live in peace.Even if she felt sad and could only be a queen in name, she didn't dare to confide a word to her family, she didn't want to cause any trouble.

Until that year, Meng Xi suddenly appeared in the Meng family, claiming to be Meng Zijin's long-lost cousin.The Meng family didn't believe him at first, but he did have a token with him, so they kept him.

Meng Xi was sweet-mouthed and very clever, which made Mr. Meng very happy. Mrs. Meng felt really guilty towards him, so she entrusted Meng Zijin and Shen Xilai to say that giving him an official position would make up for his years of homelessness. , The grievance of eating and sleeping in the open.

Shen Silai always felt ashamed of Meng Zijin, so he naturally accepted her.He was given the position of Changshi, and built a big house with three entrances and three exits in an excellent location.

Meng Xi is used to idleness, she is not willing to be up and down all day long, she just sleeps at home with a monthly salary, admires beauties, and tastes delicious food.Shen Xilai didn't care about it, and let him go with one eye closed.Anyway, he didn't have much hope for this Meng Xi.

There was a year of severe drought, with no rain for a month, the land in all parts of the country was dry, and the streams dried up.Shen Xilai led the palace up and down to the temples in the outer suburbs to pray for rain, and Meng Xi also went with Meng Zijin.At night, Meng Xi always likes to come out and wander around. He has lived in the big yard for a long time, and he can't get used to living in this small place for a while.

His room was very close to Shen Xilai's, and he casually walked up to his room, and heard Mencius sobbing faintly inside.

He never saw a girl shed tears. When he walked into the room, he saw Mencius sitting at the table, but he didn't see Shen Rulai.

Later, Meng Xi was so angry that she went to Shen Silai to argue, but Shen Silai was always calm, and just lowered his head to approve the memorial.

Meng Xi wanted to say more, but Shen Shilai ignored him, turned his back to Meng Xi, lay on the bed and slept on his own, and even blew out the oil lamp, as if Meng Xi was no different from air.

Meng Xi was so angry that she rushed forward, onto Shen Rulai's bed, and pushed Shen Rulai inside.

Shen Xilai thought about it and never expected that he would come out like this. After all, he is also the king of a country, and no matter how good his temper is, he can't bear such rudeness.

He wanted to reprimand, but the warm breath Meng Xi exhaled intentionally or unintentionally in his ear gently blew his temple hair, making his heart beat so hard that it almost fell out.

"Sister is such a good person, you can't even look down on her, don't you like men?" Meng Xi regretted it as soon as she said it.But the words spoken are like water poured out, and it is not easy to take them back.

Meng Xi felt that Shen Silai, who was restless beside him, suddenly stopped moving. For about a stick of incense, no one said a word, and the atmosphere was so subtle that Meng Xi didn't dare to breathe hard.

After a long time, Meng Xi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and tentatively opened her mouth, "Um...are you asleep?"

There was no voice replying to him, only the steady breathing of the people around him.

Meng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and tiptoed out of bed.Before closing the door, he looked back at Shen Silai, not sure if it was his eyesight, but in the dim moonlight, he seemed to see that Shen Silai's ears were red.

It was the summer of the second year that the two of them really opened their hearts.At that time, the king of Xin raised his troops to rebel and had an affair with the Meng family.This matter was originally a deal between Mr. Meng and King Xin, and even Meng Zijin didn't know about it, so he didn't intend to let Meng Xi hear about it.

At that time, King Xin's army was only three days away from the capital, and Meng Xi was in Pinggu. Even if he rushed back immediately, he would be too late, so he had to take the risk and send letters back by water, while he went back to the old house of the Meng family, looking for the Meng family and King Xin. evidence of collusion.

Shen Silai in the capital inexplicably received a bottle of ugly clay figurines.Just as I was about to throw it away, I saw the letter hidden in the pedestal. I knew all the reasons and took precautions in the capital early.Unsurprisingly, when King Xin attacked the city, he was arrested and brought to justice. Mr. Meng was also imprisoned because of the income from the Meng family provided by Meng Xi, and even Meng Zijin had to retreat.

Meng Xi naturally became the number one hero, but Shen seemed to be puzzled, he was originally from the Meng family, so the so-called "born from the same root", why he wanted to kill each other with Mr. Meng.

Only then did Meng Xi confess that the token was begged from a beggar who was illiterate, but he recognized it. Meng Xi saw that it was a jade plaque from the Meng family.Meng Xi's surname is indeed Meng, but he is the son of a fisherman in Jiangbei. His parents died early, and he has nothing to do with Prime Minister Meng in the capital. He bravely entered Meng's house.

When asked about the clay figurine, Meng Xi only said that he was seriously ill when he was young, and he didn't remember much about his childhood.It's just that this clay figurine is a relic of an aunt.That aunt had always treated him very well, so he kept the clay figurine as a thought.The real origin of the clay figurine is not clear to him himself.
