Chapter 130 I Want to Join the Army
"You said, Lord Song has entered the backyard?" When Concubine Fang heard the news, she felt that the time had come. She looked at Nanny Hua and asked, "Where is the prince?"
"The prince is here too."
Nanny Gui added, "Even Concubine Shen's two daughters were there, and the maid also saw a young man, who must be... Concubine Shen's biological brother."
"snort."
Concubine Fang snorted coldly: "The prince really dotes on that bitch Chen Lingshu!" He actually specially let her meet her brother at home.
"Madame Gui, go and invite the prince."
As soon as Concubine Fang opened her mouth, Aunt Gui quickly knelt down and said, "Concubine, have you thought about it? What's your excuse?"
If I call the prince over for no reason, I'm afraid...
"This concubine..."
Concubine Fang's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "This concubine has been poisoned."
Aunt Gui looked up in shock.
In the pavilion at Qixia Lake, Shen Lingshu watched her brother Shen Xinghe making his two daughters laugh. She asked, "Xinghe, next spring, shouldn't you take the Tongsheng exam?"
Next year Shen Xinghe will be sixteen years old, just in time to prepare for the imperial examination.
Shen Xinghe's expression changed, and then she said, "Sister, I don't want to study anymore."
"Why?" Shen Lingshu asked the nanny to hold the child to change the diaper. Chu Cong and Song Yuqing were floating in the boat on the lake. They were fishing in the lake.
Shen Lingshu stared at Shen Xinghe's face and asked, "Did Yu embarrass you?"
"Or did something happen to mother?" Shen Lingshu looked at her with burning eyes. In the script, Shen Xinghe was drugged and had diarrhea when he was taking the exam, so he didn't even pass the exam to become a scholar.
Now that she is here, we naturally have to prepare in advance.
"Mom is fine."
Shen Xinghe paused and hesitantly said, "I just don't want to study anymore. I want to join the army."
Join the army?
Shen Lingshu couldn't help but raise her voice. She looked at Shen Xinghe, the boy with thin arms and legs. From childhood to adulthood, he had been studying hard, probably for her and Song Fanghua to live a good life!
His skin is much whiter than that of ordinary men. The term "pale-faced scholar" is accurate when used to describe Shen Xinghe. His face is childish, but his eyes are extremely firm.
Shen Lingshu looked at him and asked, "Since you were little, you've always wanted to study hard and get a good reputation, and support me and my mother. Why, have you changed your mind now?"
"Join the army and fight on the battlefield, and you can still achieve military merit!"
Shen Xinghe straightened his back and looked at her firmly: "Sister, my wish has never changed. I will support you and mother."
When I think about his thin arms and legs, and the fact that he is just a high school student, what would he do if he really went to the battlefield?
How is that possible?
Shen Lingshu's beautiful eyes were filled with anger: "What did Yu do?"
Her voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth.
"sister."
Shen Xinghe knelt down directly, and with a plop, Shen Lingshu was confused. He said: "Madam, reported my name to the martial arts examination."
"That's too much." Shen Lingshu had never expected that with a flap of butterfly wings, Madam Yu would actually set her sights on Shen Xinghe.
"Sister, actually, I want to join the army."
Shen Xinghe pursed his lips. His mother had been crying all night because he could not take part in the imperial examination. Today he specially came to find his cousin to meet his sister, hoping that his sister could persuade his mother.
Shen Lingshu stared at him without saying a word. Shen Xinghe's lips moved slightly and said, "Sister, if you study and take the imperial examination, you can become an official. If you fight on the battlefield, you can also become an official. I want to make a name for myself."
"Learning martial arts is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
Shen Lingshu wanted to persuade.
"Actually, I've been practicing for half a year."
After Shen Xinghe finished speaking, he looked at Shen Lingshu's shocked eyes and said, "I wanted to learn martial arts before. Last year, I found a master in the martial arts hall."
Shen Lingshu looked at him in shock: Could it be that he was deceived?
"It was the prince who asked someone to take me to the martial arts gym." Shen Xinghe was afraid that she would not believe him, so he pulled King Jianglin into the conversation.
"Wait a minute, when did you get to know the prince?" Shen Lingshu interrupted him. She was just a concubine in the palace. Not to mention her, even if Concubine Fang's biological brother was in front of the prince, he might not recognize him completely.
"Sister, this is the wolf-hair brush you gave me before." Shen Xinghe vaguely mentioned the incident of him being beaten in the alley. Later, he met the prince again. He will always remember that day when the sun was setting and the prince asked him: Do you want to protect yourself?
A light flashed in Shen Xinghe's eyes. Since he was a child, he has always hoped that he could become strong!
So Shen Xinghe entered a martial arts school and studied day and night. He was afraid that his mother would find out, so he lied and said he was in a bookstore!
Shen Lingshu: "..."
"Sister, I've grown taller and stronger. I can really join the army."
Shen Xinghe was eager to show off his strength. Shen Lingshu was silent for a long time, then reached out and helped him up: "Xinghe, being in the army is very hard. You may have to sleep outdoors, or even encounter the enemy. You..."
She had never seen what a battlefield looked like, but she knew with her toes that this was not a peaceful era. It was not about training and then joining the army, but about fighting with real swords and guns to kill the enemy.
"I'm not afraid."
Shen Xinghe straightened his back, his young face showing an indomitable courage. He said, "If I stay in the capital, Yu will definitely do everything she can to force me to give up for the sake of her son!"
He even used it to threaten his mother and sister, but joining the army was different!
Although it is risky, as long as he makes military achievements, Yu's hand will not be so long-reaching. When he returns with merit, he can not only protect his mother, but also support his sister, making her life in the palace easier.
"Sister, compared to studying, I prefer the feeling of getting stronger and stronger." Shen Xinghe once again expressed her thoughts firmly.
Shen Lingshu looked at him with a light in her eyes, and she said, "Xinghe, if you like it, I support you."
"real?"
Shen Xinghe was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He asked cautiously, "You really don't object? My cousin thinks I should take the imperial examination instead of joining the army."
"Taking the imperial examination is not the only way out. Life is still long, you should do something you like." Shen Lingshu seemed to remember the scene in the script, because after the road to taking the imperial examination was blocked by Yu family, Shen Xinghe was like a withered flower!
At this moment, when he talked about joining the army, his eyes were lively and bright. When he talked about practicing martial arts in the martial arts hall, his eyes were also excited.
"Mom, you must have cried a lot, right?" Shen Lingshu asked with a smile. Looking at Shen Xinghe's excited look when he got her recognition, she thought: Song Fanghua has always been looking forward to him passing the imperial examination. Now, knowing that he is going to join the army, or even forced to join the army, I'm afraid that no matter what he says, she will be uncomfortable, right?
"My Lord, this is bad."
A green figure ran over. She stood on the shore and shouted directly to Chu Cong who was fishing in the lake: "Your Highness, the concubine has fainted from the poison."
The sound of grass green instantly broke the silence.
