Chapter 111：

Shaoshang did not get scolded when he returned to Changqiu Palace, but looking at the empress' self-blaming eyes, thinking about it, it would be better to be scolded.

The queen didn't say anything in front of her face, but her eyes were red and swollen when she got up the next day. She thought that Shaoshang was still alive and kicking when she went out in the morning. How could it be like this when she came back? Isn't it a small death.

Shao Shang felt that he was wronged, this errand was originally very safe. The Liang Mansion was not a Longtan Tiger Den, so Ling Budo added a bunch of powerful guards outside the bookstore. With this level of security, God knew that Liang Xia's idiot would jump over the wall. In order to divert the attention of the queen, Shao Shang had to quickly call someone to the East Palace to invite the prince and princess.

Since being slapped in the face by the prince that day, the princess has become a lot more honest. Even if her cousin had an accident, she would not dare to come forward and run away, and has been shrinking in the East Palace as a quail. At this time, she was sitting next to Shao Shang, praising her for being smart and capable, and she had clearly investigated a murder case in just three days.

"...Yeah, it's only three days." Shaoshang also sighed, he didn't expect that he still has this talent.

Ling Budo hurried over without waiting for the crown princess to say a word, and said to Shaoshang, "What do you want to do?"

Before the opening gong was struck, the people from the review office came. Shaoshang said angrily, "What's your business!"

"It's none of my business?" Ling Budo snorted, "If it weren't for me, you would still be able to sit here."

Shao Shang is powerless: "...In the beginning you saved my life, you always said 'don't take it to heart', a chivalrous demeanor regardless of gain or loss, why do you mention it now?"

The queen and the prince laughed lightly, and the prince was a little sour.

Ling Budoubt smiled: "I used to think that you knew something in your heart, and naturally you said it nicely, but now I know that you are a caller." During the banquet at the Lou family, he and Shao Shang met in the Huashu Road. At that time, he had just helped her several times, but the girl still refused to meet after hearing the threat.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but grit his teeth, "...Whoever treats you as nicely, if you want to be stupid, just pretend to be stupid.

Shao Shang also seemed to have thought of this, and the little fluffy face was slightly red, and he said in a good voice: "How can it be? You have saved me so many times, I want to forget it. Don't fall."

Ling Budoubt's heart was warmed by the girl's sparkling eyes, and he coughed softly to cover up: "That's it. Later... slowly."

! So he said with a stern face: "Shao Shang, what are you looking for Gu Lai for?"

"What's the matter." Shao Shang was stunned for a moment, and quickly recovered, "Oh, actually, the concubine has a gift for the crown princess today."

The Crown Princess was taken aback: "Me?"

Shao Shang took out an item from his sleeve and offered it with both hands very respectfully. Everyone stared, but they saw a small piece of snow-white satin. The face of the princess immediately turned pale, and the prince and Ling Budo looked at each other.

The queen is puzzled: "What does this mean?"

Shao Shang said to the prince with a smile: "His Royal Highness, do you know that the crown prince often gives Mrs. Qu something?"

The prince nodded: "I know." He glanced at the princess, "But I thought it was the virtuous prince."

Shao Shang looked at Ling Budo again: "You know it too."

Ling Budo had a calm face: "I also know that it is about once a year. But I thought the Crown Princess was trying to show her favor to the Crown Prince." He had already guessed something.

Shao Shang laughed: "Everyone knows that it was given by the Crown Princess, but Madam Qu doesn't know, and everyone in Liang's House doesn't know. They all thought that those rewards were given by the Crown Prince - for It's an unforgettable old love!"

The prince knocked over the wine cup with a clatter, and lost his voice: "How do you say this! I haven't heard from Lingjun for ten years!"

Shao Shang said coldly: "The concubine saw this silk satin at Madam Qu's maid, and the maid said that this time Madam Qu was beaten by Liang Shang again, because the crown prince gave this picture. The damask satin! I think it's very strange, this damask satin is obviously a New Year's greeting from Jingzhou just a few days ago. The empress gave the first reward to the crown princess, and the rest are still untouched by me. So, I carefully After careful questioning, only then will you know what the Crown Princess has done!"

"What did she do!" The prince said with difficulty.

Xiao Huangmen pretended to be someone sent by the prince, and talked nonsense in front of their couple, like 'His Royal Highness has been feeling a cold recently, and he was thinking about his wife very much during his illness', what 'His Royal Highness often sighs and no one can be a bosom friend'... I also appreciate some intimate things, last year it was a golden silk mat, next year it will be a sapphire pillow, oh, this time the crown princess is rewarding this kind of satin used for lining!" She pointed to the small piece of snow-white fabric .

"There is no such thing! It was Qu Lingjun who framed me! Now that she is a widow, she has begun to calculate the position of the concubine of the East Palace! She has ulterior motives and wishful thinking!" The Crown Princess screamed. .

Ling Budo said lightly: "It's not difficult to find out what's going on, arrest those slaves who gave Mrs. Qu something, and you'll know at first trial."

Prince Concubine was dripping with sweat and was speechless.

The prince looked pale, his fingertips trembled, and he looked at his wife with cold and disappointed eyes: "No wonder, no wonder that day Lingjun said to Gu, don't miss her again, Gu was still unknown at the time so…"

The Crown Princess cried out, lying on the ground and begging for mercy. The queen also wanted to understand the cause and effect, and her body was shaky.

Shao Shang slapped the case a few times, and said angrily: "Why do I always feel strange! Mrs. Qu is obviously not a person who swallows her voice, how can she endure it for several years! The maid also said, Qu Madam once entrusted the person who sent the reward to send a letter to the prince, and I think the letter is to tell the prince to stop sending things. Hmph, it is estimated that these letters have fallen into the hands of the prince!"

"I've made it clear that Mrs. Qu arrived in Hedong soon after she got married. The words of the person who gave the gift were unclear, and the things they gave were thought-provoking. Mrs. Qu was supposed to be addressing the newlyweds. The son-in-law was a little apologetic, so she endured it. After a few years, she finally realized that Liang Shang was just an animal and could not sit still, so she recruited a maid to defend herself. In fact, Liang Shang has stopped for a few years, who knows the prince a few days ago The concubine sent something to provoke again. Madam Qu was caught off guard, so she gave Liang Shang a few more blows."

The Crown Princess had resentment in her heart and shouted at the young merchant: "What do you have to do with me? Why do you say this?! I have been married to the Crown Prince for ten years, and you have to come to harm me. What good is it for you to make the prince and the concubine sad!"

"Oh! The crown princess threatened me a few days ago, saying what she would do to me when she became a queen in the future, and now she says 'what is wrong'? It's ridiculous!"

Madam Qu is too pitiful, so why don't you beat the Crown Princess a few times first, I have a whip there... Hey, what are you pulling me for, I haven't finished yet..."

Ling Budo couldn't listen anymore, lightly picked up his fiancée, dragged him out of the hall, and walked all the way to the courtyard beside the side hall before he let go.

"In the end, this is the crown prince's family business. No matter how close you and I are, we shouldn't get involved too much."

"Do you want to let the Sun family continue to be the crown princess?!" Shao Shang couldn't agree, "This woman has no talent, no virtue, despicable and narrow-minded, if she can still be safe, it is too unreasonable!"

Ling Budo said solemnly: "It's true that the Sun family can't bear to stay in the East Palace, but she can't be touched at this time. Let her go to recuperate first, and then take care of her in a year and a half."

Ling Budo rubbed her head gently: "Silly child, someone like Sun who regards fame and fortune as her life, she would rather die than be abolished."

Shao Shang was silent for a long time before he said: "After so many years, you haven't noticed that the things she sent to Hedong are not right?"

Ling Budo gave a wry smile: "Ten years ago, I was only a few years old, and I became accustomed to it later. I never expected that the Crown Princess had such a narrow mind and her resentment against Qu Lingjun could last for ten years. ."

Although I finally noticed what you neglected, you don't have to take it to heart, really, I can't blame you for this..."

Ling Budo laughed, and reached out to pinch her little face: "Look in the mirror, you are a villain."

Shao Shang glared: "I'm a villain, so what are you!"

"People who like little people."

Shao Shang turned his anger into joy and smiled.

Ling Budo took the girl's little hand and proposed to go to the garden in front to see the plum trees, and said while walking: "The crown prince is shallow and ignorant, while Qu Lingjun is smart and courageous, and his knowledge of the current situation is not inferior to Man. However, the Crown Princess has harmed the Qu family for ten years. If it wasn't for you to expose it this time, I am afraid that the Qu family would still be unknown. Alas, it can be seen that no one in this world can be taken lightly."

Ling Budo shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness is a gentle and kind person, but he is not a person who is connected with each other. He was sincere and wanted to live a good life with the Crown Princess. Who knows what he has encountered..."

The young merchant respected the prince: "Yes. The prince is a good person. I heard Zhai said that when you were a child, there was a winter in the middle of the year, and you accidentally fell when you went hunting with your majesty in the high mountains. Shanquan, the prince jumped in and fished you up."

Ling Budo said casually: "Yes, I still remember the water cold at that time. But..." He smiled sideways, "If this is your turn, what will you do?"

How majestic!"

"I'm afraid not. Ten years ago, Liang Zhoumu's wife didn't die." Ling Budo had a cold face, "And what I asked was what if you were the prince, not if you were the Qu family. How!"

Shao Shang laughed: "If I'm the prince... Then there's no need to say it, just a little trick of the prince, can you hide it from me? Hey, wait a minute, how did I hear that Liang Zhoumu's wife was very early Died very early."

"That's the original Mrs. Qu, Mrs. Sequel who passed away a few years ago."

"Tsk tsk, this Liang Zhoumu is also a wifeless man. He died one after another, so he should be honest and lonely for the rest of his life."

Ling Budo's face rarely showed a look of doubt: "Young Shang, now that Liang Shang is dead, and the crown prince is at an end, do you think Lord Qu Ling and His Royal Highness will...? "

"Will it be reunited? Of course it will!" Shaoshang was decisive.

Ling Budo raised his eyebrows, indicating he was puzzled.

Shao Shang looked confident: "When I go back, I will write a letter and tell Madam Qu the Crown Princess's harmful tricks! After ten years of frame-up, even for the sake of venting, Madam Qu You have to kill them and go back to the East Palace! When the time comes, let the Crown Princess look at the former enemy high above, and then you will be relieved!"

Ling will be suspicious.

A few days later, Qu Lingjun's father and brother finally came with a team. To say that their lives are very good, when they first heard the news, they were very worried, but when they arrived in the capital, they heard the rumors in the streets and alleys, 'Mrs. Qu is so pitiful, the Liang brothers competed for the position of the head of the family, but she was innocently implicated', or 'The Liang family is a century-old family, but the descendants are so unworthy' Yunyun.

When Liang Xia was executed, there were at least 200 people inside and outside. In addition to the Liang clan, half of them were old friends by marriage. These old oil cakes were very transparent. Add constraints and let the servants and servants spread what they saw that day. News replaced old news. At this time, no one doubted Mrs. Qu's character, and no one talked about the prince.

Two days later, Shaoshang received a handwritten letter from Qu Lingjun. After reading it, she was so surprised that she could not speak.

Ling Budo took the letter and gave the girl a funny look: "You didn't say a word. Liang Zhoumu will not die alone, and Qu Lingjun will not kill him back to the East Palace."

Shao Shang laughed twice.

The content of the letter is very simple, it only includes three things: first, thank Shaoshang for his devotion to clearing up her grievances for the past few days; It is Liang Zhoumu who has received His Majesty's decree, and will leave soon to return to the station to continue to be the state shepherd. what does the little widow have to do); the hammer at the end—

Qu Lingjun said that after the Liang and Qu families discussed together, she was about to marry Liang Zhoumu. At this time, it is the cusp of the storm, and it is not appropriate to publicize it, and wait for the marriage ceremony to take place after taking office. That's right, like He Zhaojun, she is also getting married with Xiao Xiao.

Shao Shang looked sluggish, and his heart was at a loss: "This, where does this come from...?"

Ling Budo slowly put the letter back into the delicate lacquered wooden box tied with brocade.

Young Shang said again: "I thought that marrying a brother's widow is something that only happens in the countryside." In order to raise children and avoid property division, there are many such things in the folk, but In the family...

Ling Budo said nothing.

Shao Shang continued: "Liangzhou Mudu is forty-seven, and Mrs. Qu is only twenty-six."

Ling Budo kept her eyelashes down and said nothing.

Short use a thin finger to touch his cheek, Ling Budo squeezed her delicate back of neck with his backhand, and moved around like a kitten, Shaoshang twisted Struggling to get rid of his big palm.

Ling Budo smiled and said, "The Liang and Qu family don't want to talk about it, but the crown prince should know. Now, who is going to say it, and what to say?"

Shao Shang's eyes turned twice on Ling Budo's face, then moved away from his seat, using body language to show that she would definitely not pick up this hot potato.

Ling Budo smiled for a moment.

I don't know how Ling Budo told the prince afterwards, but I heard that the prince accidentally fell while riding the horse, so he had to rest on the couch to support his legs. Since the princess had been locked up in a secluded residence to 'recuperate' before, the queen could only personally ask the prince's injury.

After returning from the East Palace, the queen was in a low mood, and Shaoshang asked her why she was unhappy. She replied, "The crown prince made a mistake in the end. It's not that he abides by the marriage contract, but that he never sees the viciousness of the crown prince."

Shao Shang said with relief: "The person next to the pillow, how can it be so easy to see."

The queen smiled helplessly: "But he is the prince, the future monarch, how can he not look at people."

Shao Shang said: "You can't say that. Didn't the first emperor not see Zhao Gao's quality back then, and he still regarded him as a loyal and honest old servant. As a result, when the first emperor died, Zhao Gao changed. You are messing around with tricks! What kind of skills the First Emperor is, don't you miss it, Niangniang, please don't blame the crown prince."

"Yes." The queen smiled with some sadness, "So the foundation of the first emperor died."

Shao Shang thought about it for a while, she felt that the cause of Qin's demise was very complicated and could not be attributed to a few people, so she continued to comfort the queen: "Niangniang, eat a moat to grow a wisdom, after this, the crown prince I'll know how to look at people later."

The queen looked at the girl's perseverance and touched her hair gently: "I hope it is as you wish."

…

Two days later, Shaoshang deliberately left Ling Budo to see off Qu Lingjun.

Beside the Shili Pavilion outside the city, the Liangqu family had a huge and long motorcade, and many people came to see them off. Among the crowd, an old man who looked somewhat similar to Qu Lingjun stood beside the farewell booth to talk to General Han, and a middle-aged man who was also similar was accompanying him. The three laughed from time to time.

Qu Lingjun looked at them, turned to Shaoshang and said, "My father and my brother will go with us to the office of Lord Shepherd, and by the way, organize the wedding ceremony for me."

Go on.

"I thought His Highness had been thinking about me for ten years. Although I was often worried about it, I was also secretly happy. Who knows, he decided to forget me ten years ago, but it seems that I have been caressing about me all these years. It's very ridiculous. If you don't care, I will leave, and the prince and I have nothing to say."

Shao Shang knew she was right and could only sigh, "Then there is no need to marry Liang Zhoumu, after all, he is already old, and his wife is young."

Qu Lingjun smiled and said: "You are a smart person, think about it carefully, in fact, whether it is for the Liang Qu family or my children, it is the most appropriate for me to marry the state shepherd. of."

Young businessman has nothing to say.

In the other side, Qu Lingjun's pair of children were wearing small filial robes, and Fu's mother and maid were running around, as if they were happier than when their father was alive. They ran all the way to Liang Wuji who was talking to Marquis Yu. Although Liang Wuji was not young, he was very physically strong. He picked up the two children one by one, and let the children fold their hands to bow to Yu Hou, making Yu Hou laugh.

Qu Lingjun and Shaoshang watched for a while, and she said: "The state shepherd is pitiful, a hero of my life. It is a pity that he is nearly half a hundred years old, but his knees are still empty. My child is also pitiful, it is better to have a father without a father. Father. In the future, I will serve the adults well, and he will take care of my children. In this way, everyone will be well."

Short businessmen have some insight. Everyone's values ​​are different. Some people live for themselves, and some people live for their family's children. In fact, from this aspect, Qu Lingjun and Liang Wuji have the same orientation.

Before leaving, Shao Shang looked back and saw Liang Wuji kneeling on one knee on the ground, picking some withered grass and weaving grasshoppers and birds, the two children were beside him affectionately , look attentively.

She suddenly felt that this is not bad.

The author has something to say:

First of all, I must praise the 'naysayer'. According to my careful observation, she was the first reader of the language Qu Lingjun would be with Liang Wuji. At that time, I thought my outline was leaked. .

Applause.

Secondly, Liang Qiuqi and Liang Qiufei, their surnames are 'Liang Qiu', not Liang, but a compound surname, thank you.
