Chapter 669: The three brothers each have their own concerns!
They didn't stay in the palace for too long as Cheng Zheng came in with soup. Those who had good eyes knew that they should not disturb His Majesty's good time, so after a few more pleasantries, the Shen family left with their rewards.
On the way back, perhaps because his son was with him, Shen Conglian couldn't control his mouth.
"Cheng Zheng looks sick. Did he injure his foundation in Tianjin?"
In fact, Cheng Zheng looked okay on the outside, far from being as sickly as Shen Conglian said. They were all married men, and they could all understand what he meant.
They knew Cheng Zheng's origins better than anyone else. When His Majesty rescued the people, the people on the boat had no human form. Even when they met each other on the way off the boat, they did not dare to step forward and say hello.
My tongue, legs and feet are all useless, so are they useless too?
"Father, don't talk nonsense!" Shen Yuanxu frowned and warned.
Whether it hurts the foundation or not is not something they can talk about.
Father said so. Does he really want to act like an elder and ask Your Majesty to enrich the harem?
"Uncle, isn't there someone else beside His Majesty?"
Shen Conglian glanced at his nephew Shen Yuanjing and said, "What you said is all old news. The other one has already returned to his hometown. I heard that when he left, His Majesty gave him a lot of money to settle down. During that time, many people openly or secretly offered themselves to His Majesty for sex."
Shen Yuanhao: “Is it true?” Your Majesty is a woman!
Although she is not an ordinary woman, it is inappropriate for her to have three wives and four concubines like men.
Shen Conglian laughed and said, "Your Majesty did not respond, and no one mentioned this matter later."
Shen Yuanxu seemed to be lost in thought, and did not utter another word until he returned to the Shen family.
Shen Family
Because of her frequent childbearing in recent years, Hu Jinyu's figure has become out of shape, and her complexion is also worse than that of people of the same age, and she looks older.
"Huan'er, has the master come back?" Hu Jinyu asked, forcing her eyelids open.
"Madam, there is no movement yet. I'm afraid we have to wait a little longer." The maid Huan'er replied in a crisp voice.
Hu Jinyu listened to the voice, looked at her face and body calmly for a few times, and then waved his hand tiredly.
"Go down and tell the kitchen to keep the fire burning. My Lord will need hot soup when he comes back any time."
"yes."
When she first got married, she was very happy about the Shen family's rule of not allowing concubines. But after giving birth to four children in succession, she began to regret it.
She looks like this now, standing next to Shen Yuanxu. If someone with poor eyesight doesn't see well, they might think she is Shen Yuanxu's mother.
She had seen how well Shen Yuanxu had treated her over the years, and she was willing to give birth to children for him.
But looking at her old self in the bronze mirror, she felt a sour sensation in her heart, and she couldn't describe the feeling.
If the women in the families of her three wives and four concubines heard her thoughts, they would surely tear her handkerchief into pieces out of jealousy.
Today she had seen the women that Shen Yuanhao brought back. To be honest, she looked down on them.
But compared with the women Shen Yuanjing brought back, the one named Lian'er had a more normal brain.
While I was daydreaming, Shen Yuanxu came in.
"The master is back!"
Hu Jinyu was about to stand up to untie Shen Yuanxu's cloak when he pressed her down on the couch.
"You are tired, don't get up, just rest!"
Hu Jinyu was already used to Shen Yuanxu's thoughtfulness. Seeing that he had already untied his cloak, she lay back down.
"I met your Majesty today. Did your Majesty say anything?"
Shen Yuanxu had a gloomy expression on his face. Ever since he was assigned abroad, his expression became more and more serious day by day. Over time, he became this serious person.
"No, His Majesty gave us some rewards and told us about the plans for the next few years."
Hu Jinyu hurriedly asked, "Didn't you mention Chengfeng?"
Shen Yuanxu: “No.”
Hu Jinyu: "Did Yuan Jing mention the eyebrow-raising incident?"
"No."
Hu Jinyu lowered her eyes and thought. After all, His Majesty and Shen Yuanjing were brothers from the same mother. Compared with their own family, she was more tolerant of the people in the first house.
Even so, the eldest room did not plead for Shen Emei, so those from the next room naturally could not cross the line.
"After all, we Chengfeng are men. If Yuan Jing didn't plead with Emei, if we did, it would make us Chengfeng look inferior to a woman." Shen Yuanxu explained in a low voice.
Hu Jinyu looked at the man's face, which was much younger than hers, and felt bitter.
"Sir, His Majesty said before that the sons of the Shen family can take concubines in the future. If you have a girl you like..."
Before Hu Jinyu could finish her words, she was interrupted by Shen Yuanxu.
"Your Majesty's words are as good as gold, but they can change overnight."
Hu Jinyu hesitated to speak.
Seeing her like this, Shen Yuanxu was still thinking about other things and did not ask.
When Hu Jinyu lay down after washing up, he vaguely heard some movement beside him. After two breaths, when he touched his side again, there was no one there.
I turned over, tears rolling down uncontrollably from the corners of my eyes.
What are the golden words? They sound nice. There is also a saying that goes "deceive the superiors and conceal the subordinates, and sneak into Chencang secretly."
Men are all the same, and Shen Yuanxu is not much better than Shen Yuanhao.
…
Shen Yuanjing's room
"General, I have been feeling a little unwell these days. I have consulted a doctor, and he said I am pregnant again."
In the past, Shen Yuanjing would have been very happy, but today his smile seemed a little forced.
"I will talk to the government tomorrow and ask them to warm up our house. After the New Year, I will ask the palace to invite an imperial physician to come and see you."
Since my mother passed away, all the imperial doctors in the mansion were recalled to the palace. The doctors currently employed in the mansion were invited from outside.
Shen Yuanjing felt anxious when he thought that His Majesty did not treat him differently today.
After all, he and Your Majesty are from the same mother, and Your Majesty should be more familiar with him than with others.
He had just returned to the capital, so he didn't dare to rashly inquire about the news of his mother's death. After the New Year, when he was walking in the court, it would be easier to find out what he wanted to know.
"General, that's great. I finally have another of your children. Together with the children left by my two older sisters, we now have ten children. It's so lively just thinking about it."
Shen Yuanjing smiled and said, "We still have to distribute gifts to the children tomorrow, let's go to bed early today!"
"good!"
Shen Yuanhao's room
Lian'er waited anxiously in the room for Shen Yuanhao to come back.
His Majesty is a man who kills without blinking an eye, especially towards his relatives. Thinking of what she heard at home today, that he was not allowed to take concubines and had to observe a two-year mourning period, Lian'er's face turned pale.
At that time, she really didn't know that the general would have to mourn his wife. If she had known earlier, she would definitely have had a child later.
Her two children now are obviously not much younger than the one at home. What should she do if His Majesty blames them?
Your Majesty can even kill your own uncle.
There is also the old lady in the family. It is rumored that the old lady committed suicide, but who knows what the real situation is.
After all, it was the old lady who was trying to seize the throne for Fourth Master Shen, so how could such a ruthless person let her off?
