Chapter 66 Interlude
Chapter 66 Interlude
The accelerator for the emotional sublimation of the couple. (inverted v ends)
Shen Yi spent several nights learning how to repair jewelry with technicians.It's just that if a jade hairpin is broken, it cannot be glued together by bonding alone.
And it's not aesthetically pleasing either.
Shen Yi is a person who never pays attention to these details, but this time, he must demand perfection.
The technician suggested to him that since it cannot be spliced together, it is better to make a circle of gold inlaid jade on the outer layer of the fracture.In this way, it can be practical, beautiful and strong.
The idea is a good idea, but Shen Yi, a prince who has never done fine work, is afraid that he will spend more time on it now.
Si Heng looked at it repeatedly and marveled, wondering if the power of love is really so powerful.Shen Jinghe stood beside him, holding a bowl of hot soup in his hand.
He saw that it was getting late, Shen Yi was still in the house, he didn't eat much for dinner, he only had the jade hairpin, and he was worried that people would starve, so he wanted to send a bowl of soup.
However, when he walked to the front entrance of the corridor, he saw Shen Yi's figure crouching at the table reflected by the candlelight on the window, and his footsteps froze.
He knew that the jade hairpin belonged to Xu Muzhou, and it was that man who occupied his cousin's heart.
Finally, for more than ten nights in a row, the white jade hairpin inlaid with gold trim was finally not broken.Only Shen Yi's workmanship was a bit poor, and the edges were crooked.
Fortunately, if you don't look closely, you can't see it in general.
For this job, Shen Yi endured for a long time without seeing Xu Muzhou. Today, when Xu Muzhou was received by the people sent by Shen Yi to the Regent's Palace, he guessed that it was for this hairpin.
There is just one thing that makes him puzzled, according to Shen Yi's previous style, he would probably bring a hairpin to Ting Yuyuan, why did he call him to the Prince Regent's Mansion instead?There should be other intentions.
Sure enough, Shen Yi took Xu Muzhou to his study, and first took out the small box containing the jade hairpin, "Look, it has been "recovered". "
Xu Muzhou asked knowingly with a hint of a smile: "What does the prince mean by this?"
"You know what I mean," Shen Yi leaned against Xu Muzhou from behind, and the two of them rubbed each other's ears, "This king will marry you as your husband, Young Master Xu, you can play tricks."
"I won't play tricks. What I said counts." Xu Muzhou squeezed Shen Yi's palm.
What you say counts, and the implication is that Second Young Master Xu agreed to the Prince Regent's marriage proposal.Shen Yi naturally understood, so he shortened his body and stuck to Xu Muzhou's body: "Then, can I ask my husband to put on the hairpin for this king?"
Shen Yi turned his face to look at Xu Muzhou, and the eyes of the two were mellow.
Xu Muzhou took the remade hairpin and gently inserted it into Shen Yi's bun.It was just after Haishi at this moment, and the night was shrouded in candlelight, and the shadows of a pair of people were reflected on the white and thin candlestick lampshade.
Shen Yi plunged into Xu Muzhou's arms recklessly as in the past, but now there is a little more sadness in his expression: "It should have been done a long time ago. Sorry for making you wait so long."
By now, Xu Muzhou had no intention of blaming Shen Yi, he just hugged him tightly and gently rubbed his chin against the top of Shen Yi's head.
"By the way, there is one more thing I want you to see." Shen Yi kissed Xu Muzhou's lips, then walked to the desk, squatted down, and took out a boxy wooden box.
This wooden box was the reason why Shen Yi had to take Xu Muzhou to the Regent's Palace.
As soon as the box was opened, Xu Muzhou saw that it was full of red, and this red was quite familiar.
.. Could it be?Xu Muzhou secretly had a guess in his heart.
Shen Yi took out the thing and shook it lightly, and it turned out to be a bright red wedding dress.Xu Muzhou was sure that this wedding dress was familiar to him, because it was the one he wore at the wedding more than a year ago.
Xifu is naturally in pairs, and the other one is lying in the box.
However, as early as the day when Shen Yi smashed the jade hairpin, Xu Muzhou threw the two wedding dresses into the slop bucket with his own hands, and they should never see each other again.
How could he not be surprised when it suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
Although Shen Yi was not very embarrassed, he still concealed his embarrassment, and explained in a low voice: "...This, I ordered someone to pick it up again that night..."
When they broke up that day, Shen Yi tried his best to maintain his superficial arrogance, but in fact, the pain in his heart became a sieve.
Not only did he vomit in the dark after returning to the mansion, but he also secretly sent Fu Xiaotang to pick up the wedding clothes that Xu Muzhou had dropped at night.
It's just that it's hard for the housekeeper, not only to avoid Jin Yuxian's eyeliner, but also to endure nausea to dig through the slop bucket.
Now the clothes are of course clean.
Xu Muzhou looked at the red color in front of him, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.Shen Yi put the clothes back into the box again, and put them against Xu Muzhou's left shoulder: "If you marry me, you will naturally wear better clothes."
"But this should be kept. Because I married you twice, and I was sincere."
That night, Xu Muzhou didn't come out from the Prince Regent's mansion, the two of them went from the study to the bedroom, inseparable, lingering, and when they woke up again, it was already the morning of the second day.
Soon, the news of Prince Regent's marriage spread all over the streets and alleys. Everyone was surprised and thought that Prince Shen's heart was made of stone, cold and heartless.
Who would have thought that there would be a day when he would marry someone.Moreover, this person was a man who had been unclear with him before.
For a while, driven by the news of the marriage, the Xu family was also pushed to the forefront.
Xu Muzhou thought about it, his biological father was the most face-saving person. Last time because of the "scandal" of farmland destruction, he directly asked the family law to beat him up in front of the neighbors.
Wouldn't it be more difficult to tolerate this "private decision for life"?It's just that the object of his private life is Shen Yi after all. Due to the majesty of the regent, Xu Huan probably can only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.
There is also the old man of the Xu family who helped him secretly twice, Xu Muzhou didn't believe it was a coincidence, maybe the old man would come to talk to him because of the wedding.
It's a pity that Xu Muzhou was wrong this time. Before he could wait for the old man to speak, or for any disturbance in the family, he first waited for a strange call.
At that time, Lin You, the prime minister of the court, sent his cronies to Ting Yuyuan to hand over a name card, inviting Xu Muzhou to have a talk at the Lin Mansion tomorrow afternoon.
Xu Muzhou was really baffled by this sudden occurrence.He is not a member of the court, and he has never had any intersection with Zaifu Lin.
If he didn't see the famous post suddenly, Xu Muzhou wouldn't even know there was such a person.
After deliberating for a while, he and Shen Yi will soon become husbands and sons-in-law. From now on, he will be regarded as a relative of the emperor and a member of the court, and Lin Zaifu is the head of all officials. see you.
"Young master, Prime Minister Lin has been an official for fifteen years, and he has always had a good reputation in the court. He is not someone who disagrees with Prince Shen in politics. You should go and invite him, there shouldn't be any problem." The little book boy said.
In nearly half a year, A Yuan has already cleared up all the big and small news about the people in the capital.
Xu Muzhou nodded, took A Yuan with him, and went to the invitation the next day.
As soon as they arrived at Lin's mansion, Prime Minister Lin's confidants hurried to the door and welcomed Xu Muzhou in politely.It's just a coincidence that as soon as they passed the outer courtyard, there was a burst of dog barking.
Xu Muzhou's footsteps faltered slightly, and A Yuan hurriedly leaned into his ear: "Don't be afraid, young master, I will protect you!"
This kid was clearly teasing him in the name of "protection".Xu Muzhou was quite speechless, and had to maintain his airs, so he could only give the child a slap in the face.
The confidant of Zaifu also warmly introduced, saying that the daughter of Prime Minister Lin, the eldest lady of the Lin family, is a dog lover, and there are four or five dogs in the yard, and every day when it comes to walking the dogs, it is very lively.
With a warm and decent smile, Xu Muzhou praised Miss Lin Fu as a caring person.
What he didn't expect was that Prime Minister Lin came to him today, not for anything else, but for Miss Lin in the prime minister's residence.
It turned out that at that time Shen Yi said that he had a fiancée who was married with his fingertips, it was not a lie.
Back then, the old Prince Regent and his wife made a baby marriage with the Lin family before the child was born.Miss Lin's family was one year older than Shen Yi, and the medical officials all said that it was a boy from the fetal appearance of the Princess Regent, so the two families established a marriage.
Later, both Shen Ye and his wife died in battle, and Shen Yi inherited the throne. He and Lin Xiang had a tacit understanding not to mention this matter.
Shen Yi didn't want to be held back by his son and daughter's love, not to mention that he was in a dangerous situation, so he didn't need to delay his girl.
Lin Xiang also had the same thoughts. Although he is not a person who worships the high and tramples the low, the Prince Shen's Mansion four years ago was a pit of fire that could destroy people at any time. He was naturally reluctant to push his beloved daughter into it. of.
But it's different now, Shen Yi is completely able to fight against Jin Qiansui, and even has the upper hand in the dispute.
On the one hand, Prime Minister Lin wanted to fulfill the agreement, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find a good home for his daughter, so he thought of baby kissing again.
As a result, at this juncture, the news that Shen Yi was going to marry someone suddenly came out, Lin Xiang was somewhat surprised, and couldn't hold back his face.
So he invited Xu Muzhou to the house.
"That's it. Xu Ergongzi, my daughter and Zhuang Bai's nephew are relatives by marriage. Everyone in the capital knows that if he suddenly marries someone else, how will my daughter behave in the future?"
Xu Muzhou finally figured out Lin Zaifu's intention to see him.
Just because Shen Yi and Ms. Lin had a child marriage, and Shen Yi married someone else, this Ms. Lin became an "abandoned wife". In this era, this would greatly damage a woman's reputation.
"Then... according to Prime Minister Lin, how should we deal with it?" Xu Muzhou asked.
In fact, how could he not understand Master Zaifu's intentions? He just hoped that Xu Muzhou would take the initiative to back down in such an embarrassing situation.
Xu Muzhou didn't want to say anything, he just drank the green tea offered by the Lin Mansion, and said politely: "Since it's the marriage between Miss Lin Manor and Lord Shen, it's appropriate for them to decide."
"Master Xiang, wait a little longer, I reckon the prince will be here soon."
