Chapter 18
Before anyone could react, Shen Qingshu grabbed the sword.
The shimmering silver light dazzled Shen Qingshu's eyes, but she still smiled calmly: "What a good sword."
Princess Zhaoan yelled: "The sword of my princess' mansion is naturally a good sword, so hurry up and get it."
Shen Qingshu's steps were calm, but his brows and eyes were slightly worried.
"Second Miss Shen! Either you come or give the sword to King Jin quickly, what are you doing all the time!" I don't know who provoked the words, and there was a lot of booing in the audience.
Taking advantage of the noise, Shen Qingshu lowered his voice and said to King Jin: "If you don't want to be married tomorrow, throw your sword into the nearby lake now."
King Jin dismissed it: "It turns out that you threw the paper ball over."
Shen Qingshu's eyes didn't flicker: "If you insist on marrying a woman other than Qin Luoluo, you can dance this sword now."
King Jin's face was stagnant, but he still slowly raised his hand to hold the hilt of the sword: "Give it to me."
Shen Qingshu knew that he hesitated, after all, with his strength, it was impossible for him to be willing to go to this stalemate with him.
Princess Zhao'an's tone was very impatient: "Shen Qingshu, why are you so difficult today, come here, and send me another sword."
Shen Qingshu didn't expect that King Jin would really let go of her hand, but now she used too much force, causing the silver sword to fall out of her hand unexpectedly. It drew a smooth arc in the air, and it was about to fall into the lake——Jin Wang's toes lifted off the ground, and his figure leaped forward gracefully.
Shen Qingshu's eyes flashed a touch of the black robe fluttering in the wind, and the silver sword was already lying firmly on the ground.
The whispers and teasing laughter in the seat dissipated at the same time as if they had made an appointment.
Is this the halo of the legendary male protagonist?Shen Qingshu was dumbfounded.
When Shen Qingshu realized it, he immediately looked towards the direction where Lin Yue, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion, was seated.
Wait a minute, is her flushed cheeks from drinking or from Prince Jin's damned handsomeness?Shen Qingshu was dumbfounded.
She knew that the plot line of the original book was really mysterious and powerful.
Forget it, Shen Qingshu secretly decided that when the marriage decree is announced in two days, she must visit the palace in person to see if the hero is still handsome.
When Shen Qingshu returned to his seat, he met Wen Xueer's slightly embarrassed eyes.
"What are you thinking about?"
Wen Xueer said softly: "I read it in the playbook before, if a person has a sweetheart, he will deliberately go everywhere to provoke him."
Shen Qingshu was slightly startled, and when he realized it, he raised his lips slightly: "If I am interested in that person, I should be blushing right now and dare not even raise my head, besides," Shen Qingshu gently pinned Wen Xueer's hair on her temples. Broken hair, "If I care about someone, the first thing I will do is to protect her everywhere and stand in front of her in everything."
Wen Xueer froze for a moment, unable to speak for a while.
"Shen Qingshu, what's the matter with you today?" Princess Zhao'an's voice was full of anger, "It's all right to stop the throwing pot, even the sword dance is impossible because of you."
Shen Qingshu sighed: "Look at those girls across the way, and ask them if they like to watch sword dancing more, or if His Highness Prince Jin picked up swords when he was in danger just now."
"It's fine for you to offend Prince Duan, but why is it that King Jin also clashes now?"
Shen Qingshu said seriously: "Last night when I got up to watch the sky at night, I found that there was an evil star hovering in the direction of Prince Jin's mansion. Today I purposely kept him from being too ostentatious, so as not to cause trouble."
Wen Xueer cooperated obediently: "No wonder my sister stood in the yard for so long last night."
Princess Zhao'an thought it made sense when she heard it, but then she realized: "Shen Qingshu, you were crippled yesterday, and you still stand in the courtyard to watch the stars, you must be fooling people."
"Xue'er, open your mouth." Although Shen Qingshu felt guilty, he calmly brought a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake to Wen Xueer's mouth.
Princess Zhao'an saw that she didn't want to eat, so he had no choice but to give up: "The birthday party is really boring, why not go to Yunxian Pavilion to drink flower wine."
Wen Xueer finished eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake slowly, and then whispered in Shen Qingshu's ear: "Is Yunxian Pavilion really that good?"
Perhaps her breath was a little warm, and Shen Qingshu's earlobes turned red slightly: "It's okay, the girl is quite pretty...but the coquettishness is deliberately a little bit, if you want to say that she is outstanding, you have to count Lan Sheng'er. "
Shen Qingshu unknowingly opened up the chatterbox, not noticing Wen Xueer's slightly cold eyes.
After talking for a long time, Shen Qingshu came to his senses: "Xue'er, I'm actually not familiar with Yunxian Pavilion, I only went there once, and it was for..." Shen Qingshu paused.
Wen Xue'er chuckled: "You don't have to rush to explain, I'm just curious."
Shen Qingshu: "..."
A few days after Shen Qingshu heard the news of the marriage, it was Shen Qingyue who told her.
"Shu'er, let me tell you, I was there when His Majesty announced the decree today. Guess how dark the face of King Jin is? How dare you openly disobey His Majesty, I'm sweating."
The corners of Shen Qingshu's mouth curved slightly.Disobedience for love is what a male protagonist should do, and it's not surprising.
"Brother looks happy?"
"No, it's just that after staying in the military camp for a long time, I always feel a little fresh when I hear these things."
Shen Qingshu suddenly said without thinking: "Brother, King Jin is trustworthy."
Shen Qingyue's face froze for a moment, and then he realized: "Okay."
Shen Qingyue asked again: "It is rumored that King Jin likes a folk woman?"
"It's not a rumor, it's true."
Shen Qingyue got up: "Looks like I have to take two cups of wine to see His Highness King Jin."
After his elder brother left, Shen Qingshu slowly looked at Wen Xueer who was drawing pictures on the case: "Is there anything you want to eat?"
Wen Xueer thought about it seriously: "Longjing shrimp and pine mandarin fish."
"Let's go to Zuixianju."
I don't know if it's because the sound of toasting is too loud, or Qin Luoluo is really not in Zuixianju, but Shen Qingshu didn't hear the curling sound of the piano back then.
She called the servant: "Where's Miss Qin, the piano master?"
"Miss Qin reported illness today and said she would not come."
"Where's Boss Yuan?" Since he couldn't find Qin Luoluo, he could only find Yuan Yi for a meal.
"The last wing at the corner after going up the stairs."
As soon as he entered the door, there was a strong smell of alcohol.
The dishes on the table were hardly touched, but the wine glasses were poured everywhere.Boss Yuan must have gone out on business, but Qin Luoluo was the only one who poured the wine down his throat one cup after another.
Wen Xueer tugged at Shen Qingshu's sleeve, and asked softly, "Who is she?"
"Someone has a new marriage decree, so naturally there are others who use wine to drown their sorrows." Shen Qingshu pulled the flagon from Qin Luoluo's hand, frowned, "Yuan Yi is used to you drinking like this."
Qin Luoluo's pretty white cheeks were flushed with blush. After being taken away from the flagon, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shen Qingshu with a dazed look: "Second Miss Shen? Could it be Shen Zi'an who asked you to come? ?”
"Xue'er, come over and have some food." Shen Qingshu first sat down calmly, then glanced at Qin Luoluo, "If you feel wronged, go to King Jin and cry. What's the use of drinking here."
There was sob in Qin Luoluo's voice: "Men don't have a good thing."
Shen Qingshu appeased Qin Luoluo while adding vegetables to Wen Xueer's bowl: "You are right, but I think you should eat more vegetables now, because drinking alone makes you easy to get drunk."
Wen Xueer looked at Shen Qingshu in confusion: "Just now I thought you came to Zuixianju to comfort this girl, but now it seems that you really brought me to eat."
Shen Qingshu took a sip of tea: "It's not me who can comfort Qin Luoluo."
"Ah—" Wen Xueer groaned.
Shen Qingshu lost one of his chopsticks in fright, and looked sideways, only to find that Qin Luoluo was hanging on Wen Xueer.
She suddenly became nervous, and quickly got up and tugged Qin Luoluo's hand that was tightly holding onto Wen Xue'er; "Qin Luoluo, I know you are frustrated with men now, but you can't take this opportunity to tease my people."
Wen Xue'er said angrily: "Why are you competing with drunk people?"
Qin Luoluo looked up at Wen Xueer coquettishly, and then said to Shen Qingshu, "She's so beautiful."
"Yes, yes, that's for sure, but can you let go first?"
Qin Luoluo giggled: "It still looks a bit like me."
Shen Qingshu was serious and said, "Of course Xue'er is prettier."
For a moment, Wen Xueer didn't know who was more helpless to her, she just sighed lightly.
Shen Qingshu asked again: "Where's Boss Yuan?"
"Something happened to that shop, he went over to have a look." Fortunately, Qin Luoluo wasn't too drunk.
It seemed that the male second was destined not to be able to take the position, Shen Qingluo snickered in his heart.
Shen Qingshu slowly lifted Wen Xueer's hand away from her, and said, "You can hang it on me, and let Xueer come out to eat with free hands. The Longjing shrimp and pine mandarin fish she wants to eat are here."
Wen Xueer was taken aback for a moment, then smiled slightly at Shen Qingshu: "You—you."
Qin Luoluo raised her head suddenly, and then she closed her eyelids and fell asleep quietly on the table.
Shen Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief: "This is King Jin's sweetheart Qin Luoluo, Qin Niang from Zuixianju."
"Does Princess Zhao'an dislike her?"
"Princess Zhao'an likes a beauty like her very much, but she doesn't like her getting closer to King Jin." After finishing speaking, Shen Qingshu felt puzzled, "How do you know?"
"Princess Zhao'an deliberately pushed me to King Jin before, and then I guessed that she might want me to replace someone."
Shen Qingshu's eyes lit up: "Smart, that's true."
Wen Xueer's eyes slowly moved to the banana leaf piano on another table, and her heart moved slightly.
Shen Qingshu said: "Qin Luoluo plays the piano quite nicely."
Wen Xueer's fingertips lightly touched the strings: "Maybe I haven't played it for a long time."
Shen Qingshu even raised his voice: "You know how to play? Let's go, let's go back to get money and buy you a piano."
"But Miss Qin—"
"In addition to being King Jin's sweetheart, she is also Boss Yuan's Bai Yueguang. She is very safe in Zuixianju." Shen Qingshu closed the door of the wing room before leaving.
Shen Qingshu was originally in high spirits, but when he saw the figure standing still in front of Shangshu Mansion, his expression froze slightly.
King Jin.
"Wen Xueer, go back to the mansion and wait for me." Shen Qingshu got out of the car first.
"But--"
"He just asked me something, nothing will happen, be obedient and go back."
