Shen Mingyue felt heartbroken.
Lu Qingyuan is a good friend who grew up with her and they can talk about anything.
Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly.
She understood that Lu Qingyuan loved Shen Jiayan deeply, and she also knew that Shen Jiayan had never had any other woman in his heart.
But……
The Queen Mother is afraid of the Shen family and will not let Lu Qingyuan marry into their family.
Shen Jiayan was also afraid that his children's affair would cause trouble for the Shen family, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to protect Lu Qingyuan forever.
So, two people who love each other so much just can't be together.
"Qing Yuan, actually..."
Shen Mingyue raised her hand and gently patted Lu Qingyuan's shoulder, but suddenly didn't know what to say.
Those words of comfort seemed foolish and useless at this moment, and only added to the sadness.
Lu Qingyuan suppressed the bitterness in her heart and forced a smile: "Perhaps it won't be long before my mother will force me to marry. If my future husband is not the one I want, then I will never be happy in this life."
"I've been thinking a lot these days, and I'm feeling really bad. I couldn't hold it in any longer, so I came to talk to you."
"I don't know what Jiayan feels towards me, and I don't know how long I can hold on. But..."
"I still longed to see Jiayan once before we got married. From now on, I've given up hope."
As she spoke, her voice choked a little.
So, she lowered her head and smiled, pretending to be strong: "Forget it, let's not talk about that. The grapes taste good, sister-in-law, come and try them."
There were still tears in her eyes.
"aunt……"
Hongxuan walked forward and looked at Lu Qingyuan, saying word by word: "Don't marry another man, don't live a miserable life, I..."
"Hongxuan!"
Afraid that Hongxuan would say something wrong, Shen Mingyue scolded him quickly.
Hongxuan lowered his head, feeling very uncomfortable.
Qiqi said that his aunt would marry the third-place winner in the imperial examination and would live a very miserable life, and he didn't want his aunt to fall into the abyss.
Unfortunately, he could do nothing except remind them.
Su Qiqi was a little annoyed by this sad and depressing atmosphere:
【Wow, wow, wow, I can’t stand it! 】
[Why do you want to torture a beautiful woman? Why do you want me to watch you, a beautiful woman, cry? ]
[Ah! This damn plot! ]
[Shen Jiayan, can you please come back and take your wife with you? Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life!]
Finally, Shen Mingyue relented: "I write a letter home every month and have it delivered to my brother. Qingyuan, write a letter and I'll send it along."
In the past, Shen Mingyue often wrote letters home.
At that time, she wrote one letter and Lu Qingyuan wrote one.
The two letters will be put together and then handed over to Shen Jiayan at the border at the same time.
But later, Shen Jiayan very seriously asked Shen Mingyue not to pay attention to Lu Qingyuan.
He had also ruthlessly rejected Lu Qingyuan and even said that he wanted to draw a clear line between them.
Therefore, Shen Mingyue never mentioned Shen Jiayan in front of Lu Qingyuan over the years. Even if Lu Qingyuan insisted on asking, her answer was very perfunctory.
Lu Qingyuan didn't know where Shen Jiayan was, let alone how to contact him. The only chance they had of meeting was when Shen Jiayan returned to Beijing.
But Shen Jiayan deliberately avoided such opportunities.
If it were before, Shen Mingyue would definitely not be soft-hearted and would not give Lu Qingyuan hope anymore.
But now that she had heard what Su Qiqi was saying in her heart, she could never watch Lu Qingyuan become the so-called tragic cannon fodder.
"Are you serious, sister-in-law?"
When Lu Qingyuan heard Shen Mingyue say that she would help deliver the letter, she burst into laughter with excitement.
Shen Mingyue instructed: "Helping you deliver the letter is the only thing I can do. I won't interfere with the rest."
The implication was that Lu Qingyuan should not have too much hope.
After all, Shen Jiayan may not be soft-hearted, and may not reply to the letter.
Lu Qingyuan understood what Shen Mingyue meant, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Qingyuan is content."
Lu Qingyuan had dinner in Yongle Palace and chatted with Shen Mingyue for a while.
Not long after, she hurriedly said goodbye and returned to Qionghua Palace.
She rummaged through boxes and drawers, found the best paper and ink, and began to write the letter.
Rack your brains and choose your words carefully.
This word is not written correctly, change it.
That sentence is too pretentious, change it.
Too long-winded, change it.
Too straightforward, change it.
…
The paper was changed again and again, and the letter was revised again and again.
Even though they have known each other for many years, she still acts like a little girl who has just fallen in love when facing Shen Jiayan.
Baozi, who was standing by, couldn't help but become anxious too when he saw his princess's anxious look.
Lu Qingyuan sat at the table and wrote for two full hours.
It was not until the sun set and the sky was filled with sunset glow that she finally picked out the one that suited her best.
She packed the letter and went to Yongle Palace again to personally deliver the letter to Shen Mingyue.
"Sister-in-law, remember to tell them to make sure the letter reaches Jiayan."
She was afraid of an accident, afraid that Shen Mingyue would suddenly change her mind.
Shen Mingyue smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, I will never break my promise to you."
"Oh? What's going on?"
The emperor walked in from outside.
He looked tired and listless.
"Brother, I...I was chatting with my sister-in-law about some girlish things!"
Lu Qingyuan subconsciously concealed it and winked at Shen Mingyue.
Shen Mingyue silently put the letter into her wide sleeve and hid it: "The emperor came so suddenly? No one informed me, it really scared me."
"Why, you don't want to see me?"
The emperor pretended to be aggrieved.
He is good-looking, so it doesn't look weird at all when he acts like a spoiled child.
