Spring Forest Evening

I don't know, Zhou Heng almost blurted out, but fortunately, like before, he finally stopped at the last moment, and replied vaguely: "Well, the Governor's Mansion is so powerful, no wonder!"

Naturally, Uncle He didn't know what she was thinking, so he nodded and said indifferently: "Yes, I really guessed it. I didn't expect it to be related to the third princess." He rubbed his forehead while talking, It looks like I have a headache.

What?Three princesses?What is the relationship between the three princesses and the governor's mansion in Zhongnan Road?Zhou Heng didn't even dare to speak vaguely now, and only responded with a soft "hmm".

But Uncle He thought about such a simple and clear thing. Of course Miss Zhou knew about it, but I didn't mention to her the speculation that I and Shen Fu were in the study outside. roughly mentioned.

Zhou Heng naturally mustered up his energy and listened carefully.

After listening to it, I sorted out my thoughts and roughly understood the background of the Governor's Mansion. I didn't expect it to be the mother's family of the current empress dowager, the ancestral family of the third princess, and even the emperor's ancestral family in name. The emperor doesn't seem to be The Empress Dowager herself.

But according to what Uncle He said, the emperor respects the queen mother very much, and loves the younger sister of the three princesses born by the queen mother. Zhou Heng listened, after all, he had watched some court dramas before, and estimated the age of the emperor and the queen mother. Not too much difference, the third princess is still of marriageable age, and she is the emperor's younger sister in Uncle He's mouth. Anyway, it is very common for ancient emperors to change a few queens.

But the age difference is out of Zhou Heng's attention, what she wants most now is to stand in front of Shen Fu immediately and tease him:

Let me just say, good luck, I didn't expect to be attracted by the princess, and she is also the first princess born of the empress dowager, the emperor's most beloved young sister, congratulations!

If Shen Fu is right in front of him, I don't know what expression he will have when he hears it, hehe, I don't know if he will blush, it's interesting to think about it!

It's a pity that that person is not in front of him now, and Zhou Heng had no choice but to express his true feelings to the three people in the room:

"Actually, it's good for the prince to marry the princess. Since the emperor loves the third princess so much, if the prince becomes his brother-in-law, won't Prince Jing's mansion have a better future in the future?"

If Shen Fu was here, he would still say that sentence: Either just follow it!I don't know if it will make him angry, hehe!

Zhou Heng even thought, if the governor's mansion is determined to be won, can he try to communicate with Shen Fu again, he will marry his princess, and he can try to persuade the Zhou family to give up the engagement, and then the emperor will marry him for his own family. My sister's happiness should be rewarded to the already declining Zhou family, such as promotion to Zhou Yan or those dude brothers who don't seem to have any evil intentions.

As for myself, of course I took the opportunity to get the black jade carving of the horse head from Shen Fu, and I can go back wherever I came from, so, as you like, I wish, everyone gets what he wants, everyone is happy!

Zhou Heng thought simply, the emperor loves his younger sister and wants to find a good son-in-law for her, even if Shen Fu is a prince, can he resist the edict?What's more, there is a Governor's Mansion behind the three princesses.

As for the relationship between Shen Fu and himself, although it is a bit regrettable, what if the two develop feelings after getting along?It's not impossible to be as affectionate as his parents, just try it!

Thinking of this, Zhou Heng also deliberately pretended to know something about the situation of the governor's house and added embellishment: "And the third princess is very beautiful, the prince is not bad!"

Whether it is beautiful or not is a subjective feeling, and it cannot be revealed by saying this.

Uncle He didn't think it was a lie, but after hearing it, he couldn't help but think about it. He instinctively thought that Miss Zhou's family must be jealous, so he quickly helped Shen Fu speak:

"Ah Heng doesn't need to think too much, if the prince really wants to, there is no need to wait until now."

In that case, what about your Zhou family and your Miss Zhou?

Zhou Heng was right when he thought about it. He was about to skip this topic, and Mrs. Peng, who had been sitting beside her silently, suddenly sneered:

"Yeah, really have a heart, hum!"

The two girls didn't know what to say, even Uncle He was at a loss: "Senior sister, you..." Are you talking for the prince?But why does the tone sound a bit wrong?

Aunt Peng kept her mouth shut again, and only gestured for them to continue.

Uncle He is now a little wary of this senior sister who has been reunited for a long time. Although she has been amiable to the two girls in the same carriage these days, she doesn't talk to him very much, and she doesn't want to talk to her. The tone was wrong, so he naturally chose not to ask further questions.

Zhou Heng thought of something else, thinking that Aunt Peng was reminding himself, and after thinking about it, he tentatively asked: "Auntie, what do you mean, if the third princess has a heart, it's not impossible now?"

This question made Mrs. Peng choke, and when she thought of an explanation, she looked at Zhou Heng's humbly asking for advice, especially those black and white eyes that looked innocent and innocent, and finally sighed in her heart and smiled. He stroked her head and comforted her:

"That's what I said casually. I'm an old woman from the country. What do you know? The prince must have no intention of that princess. Don't worry."

This made Uncle He and Chun Yu feel relieved, but Zhou Heng ignored the words, and just smiled and raised his head to argue: "What country old woman, aunt, you are not old, let me tell you, your hair is actually It has nothing to do with age, I used to... well, even in our family, there was such a person, only in his 20s, his hair turned gray a lot."

Now I know that Mrs. Peng is actually not very old, only in her early forties. It may be that these years have not been easy, or else her hair would not have turned gray so much.

It's a pity that there should be no hair dye in this era, Zhou Heng thought with some regret.

Chun Yu, who had been silent by the side, said at this moment:

"Actually, it can be dyed. My mother also has gray hair. Later, my father bought her aconitum balm and put some on when combing her hair in the morning. Not to mention that her hair turned black, my mother said it smells good too."

"Then let's go out and buy tomorrow!" Zhou Heng smiled at Aunt Peng and said to Chun Yu, anyway, it was just a incidental thing when shopping.

"Ah Heng has a heart, I'll go to the street to find it myself later!" Mrs. Peng was very moved when she heard this, and she glanced coldly at the silent Uncle He beside her. It's best to be patient, so he coughed lightly and wanted to bring the topic back to the Governor's Mansion:

"This matter, I always think about it, I'm afraid it's not as simple as the third princess marrying into the palace. Do you still remember that the fourth child at that time, didn't he say that he wanted to make contributions and seal his wife's shadow? These people watched Unlike ignorant people, even if he has done meritorious service with the three princesses this time, is it possible that Cheng Xiao will be able to seal his wife's shadow because of this? That is too fantastic!"

"Furthermore, that talented man is clearly at odds with this group of people. Since he came from the governor's mansion, if he is doing things for the three princesses, then it seems that there is no need to be so clear-cut?"

"Maybe it's a personal grievance?" Zhou Heng felt that Uncle He was a little too cautious: "Maybe the talented man wanted to be the leader, but those people refused to accept him, and the Governor's Mansion also knew that they couldn't get along, so they deliberately separated them .”

This is also reasonable, Uncle He thought about it, and decided to put this idea aside, but there is another idea that needs to be made clear to Miss Zhou:

"Accordingly, up to now, anyway, they have successfully removed you on the surface, and this is the end of the matter, but why does it feel like you are still on standby in Zhongnan Road? And do you still remember that these people are actually not Zhongnan Dao natives don’t even know if they eat spicy food here? Ah Heng, you told me this, and I heard them mention it later.”

Zhou Heng also remembered what he said: "Yeah, they were quite curious at the time. If it wasn't for people from here, it seems... a bit far away?"

"According to the taste of the food," Aunt Peng also interjected at this time: "They should be from the capital, and their accents are the same."

"That's right," Zhou Heng recalled: "The boatman before also had a capital accent, otherwise, Nanny Huang and the others would definitely be able to hear it."

"So," Uncle He frowned and said that this matter was very suspicious: "It is reasonable to say that the Governor's Mansion really doesn't need to look far away, and those people don't look like they came here to avoid the limelight." You don't have to wait until now to avoid the limelight.

"So Uncle He, what do you mean, these people came here for other things?" Zhou Heng thought that was the only possibility.

"That's right," said Uncle He with a solemn expression: "We didn't think too deeply about this matter at the time. I thought about it repeatedly on the road these days, and I always felt that it was not simple behind it."

"The reason is unknown, but one thing is certain. This matter must have something to do with the third princess, and it has something to do with Prince Jing's residence."

"Before the prince said that he would keep his filial piety for Miss Zhou, the emperor gave him half a year's deadline, and said that after half a year, the queen mother would give her a marriage. Do you think the emperor already knew about this?"

These words made Zhou Heng and others look at each other in blank dismay, what did the emperor think, how did they know?And what is the difference between the emperor knowing and not knowing?

Seeing that the other two didn't look like they were about to speak, after thinking about it, Zhou Heng expressed his opinion cautiously: "I don't think the emperor should know about this matter, or at least on the side of the third princess, they feel that the emperor I don’t know, otherwise, this tossing back and forth doesn’t make sense?”

"And Uncle He, you just said that they should have other things to do here, so if the emperor knows, what other things are they busy with? Half a year later, the Empress Dowager directly ordered Shen Fu to marry her daughter. It's gone!"

With power in his hands, Shen Fu was straightforward and rude to let Shen Fu finish the job, hee hee.
