How could Shen Qing not guess what Shen Jing was thinking?

Shen Jing's purpose was nothing more than to force her to admit her identity or to wish her a bright future.

How does Shen Qing choose?

She chose neither.

If Shen Jing wanted to roast her over the fire, she would kick the fire rack over!

"The choice is in my sister's hands. How can I be qualified to make the choice for her?" Shen Qing smiled.

"Sister, do you want to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Eastern Palace and become the future Crown Princess? Or do you want to stay in our General's Mansion and continue to be a well-behaved and sensible adopted daughter?"

If you choose the first path, it means you are voluntarily leaving the General's Mansion.

No matter whether she becomes the Crown Princess or an ordinary woman in the future, she will no longer have anything to do with the General's Mansion.

The second way is that she still stays in the general's mansion as the second lady, but she loses her identity as an adopted daughter and will always be inferior to him.

Moreover, if she rejected Murong Zhi on the spot, it would be difficult for her to have a friendly relationship with him in the future!

Shen Jing, what do you choose?

Everyone's eyes were on Shen Jing, waiting for her to make a choice.

“I, I…”

…

“Bang!”

The gavel banged, and when he got to the crucial point, the storyteller tugged at his mustache and excitedly stepped one leg onto the table. The audience below anxiously urged him on.

“At this critical moment, Miss Shen Second actually fainted!”

"What?!" The best whistle sound.

"No way? Fainted?" Shocked!

"Is it true?" Doubtful.

Shen Qing heard the audience's reaction and smiled lightly, picking up the teacup in front of her.

That's right, Shen Jing fainted at the banquet. Half a month later, she's still lying sick in bed.

He was quite smart. He knew it was a difficult choice and fainted on the spot.

The prince sent a lot of rare supplements to the general's mansion and began to openly support Shen Jing. Shen Jianshan had a headache about those gifts. He didn't want to accept them, but he didn't know how to send them back.

Shen Qing felt bored, so he simply went out early and came back late every day, wandering around the capital. When he was tired, he would come to the restaurant to listen to books and drink tea.

She paid for this box for a year and she really liked the window seat on the second floor.

From this angle, she could see everything that everyone in the market was doing. The bustling crowds, the constant hawking sounds, and the children playing and fighting were all clearly presented in front of her eyes.

The wind blew gently, and Shen Qing gathered his cloak.

The weather is getting colder and winter is coming.

The door suddenly opened, Bai Runyi walked in hurriedly and sat down opposite Shen Qing.

"I asked you to go boating on the lake but you refused to go. I asked you to go shopping but you refused to go. You just like to sit here and drink tea like a little old woman."

Shen Qing poured Bai Runyi a cup of tea.

"Try the new tea in the restaurant."

Bai Runyi picked it up, took a sip, and smacked his lips.

"good."

She doesn't know how to appreciate tea at all.

"Oh, by the way, did you know that the winter hunt is about to start?"

"No one informed me." Shen Qing blinked.

"What does it have to do with you? Why should I notify you?"

"Yeah, what does it have to do with me?"

Bai Runyi was silent. Fortunately, she was already used to Shen Qing's way of speaking.

"But it has something to do with your father!"

Every year during the winter hunt, Shen Jianshan would personally lead his troops to accompany His Majesty. If Shen Qing wanted to go, he could also go with Shen Jianshan.

"Shall we go and take a look?" Bai Runyi cast a coquettish glance at Chen Qing. "I heard that there are foreign envoys participating in this year's winter hunt."

"Who told you that?"

"My father is the Minister of Rites. I overheard him discussing the reception etiquette with my mother."

It is said that the emperor intends to let foreign envoys feel the national strength of Dongli Kingdom as a deterrent.

After staying here for such a long time, Shen Qing also figured out the background of this world.

The world was divided into three parts, and the country she was in was called Dongli, one of the three great powers. Every year, foreign envoys from Dongli would come to Dongli on the winter solstice to offer New Year gifts and seek blessings for the new year, also known as "praying for a good harvest."

Of course, the other two major powers can also visit the capital on the winter solstice. They just need to apply to the emperor in advance and obtain approval.

To be honest, Shen Qing didn't want to go, because if he went, something unexpected would definitely happen.

I don't know what's wrong with Seventh Point lately, it seems like she's suffering from depression, no one is actively pushing her to complete the tasks. She is also happy to be idle and really doesn't want to get involved in anything else.

"Oh, go ahead. I'll be super bored if you don't accompany me!"

"Please, go ahead, my dear."

Here we go again!

"Okay, okay, if my dad agrees to let me go, then I'll go with you. If he doesn't agree, then I can't do anything about it."

Bai Runyi nodded vigorously.

Chen Qing was disgusted by her and acted like a spoiled child with her, and Bai Runyi grasped this point very well.

"By the way, how is the future Crown Princess?"

On the day of Shen Qing's welcoming banquet, Bai Runyi had a fever and was almost confused. He was still thinking about helping her deal with Shen Jing, but was pulled back by the Shangshu halfway.

As a result, I missed a wonderful scene.

Later, she heard from the storyteller and the people in the capital that Shen Jing was affectionately called "the future Crown Princess" in order to desensitize herself.

"I'm sick."

"Sick?" Bai Runyi was shocked, then rolled his eyes. "I'm telling you, she definitely wants to be elected Crown Prince, but she's afraid the General's Mansion won't support her, so she's pretending to faint!"

Shen Qing said: Who knows?

Shen Qing returned to the general's mansion and happened to meet Shen Yanzhi at the door of the mansion, who was about to leave.

"Qingqing, you're back?"

"Brother, are you going out?"

Chen Yanzhi nodded: "I'm going out to do something. By the way, my father and mother are looking for you. They are in the front hall."

"I see."

Shen Qing came to the front hall and saw Shen Jianshan holding Cheng Xue's hand as if to comfort her.

"Father, Mother."

"Qingqing is here, please sit down." Shen Jianshan looked at Shen Qing with a loving face, and shook Cheng Xue's hand implicitly, motioning her to speak.

Shen Qing noticed their actions: "Mother, do you have something to tell your daughter?"

"Yes, your grandfather wanted to come and see you when he heard you were back, but he's too old and can't move around easily. My dear, do you think it would be convenient for you to go and see him?"

Cheng Xue's words were full of caution. She wanted to get close but didn't dare to.

"Grandpa is the elder, and Shen Qing should have taken the initiative to visit him. But now, you have asked my mother to mention this matter to me. This is really my fault."

"So, are you willing to go to Qingzhou?"

Cheng Xue was afraid that Shen Qing would not want to go because the journey was too long, but she did not expect that she would agree so readily.

"Of course I do."

I’ve had enough of playing in Beijing, so it’s a good time to go somewhere else.

"Okay, Qingzhou is a long way off, so why don't you pack up and leave tomorrow?"

Shen Qing nodded in agreement.
