If Shen Yu's memory is correct, should he and Shen Qingran be the only ones in Zhenbei Hou's mansion, or, in this lifetime, Shen Qingran loses its use value, and Zhenbei Hou produces another child?

With Zhenbeihou's temperament, this is not impossible.

But if Zhenbei Hou's mansion suddenly had an heir, Mu Xi shouldn't say a word like him.

"No," Shang Jun rubbed his gloomy cheek, "It's you who the Marquis of Zhenbei wants to stand."

"Me?" Shen Yu was even more surprised now, "I've already entered the palace, what did he do for me as the heir? I don't think I can go back to inherit Zhenbei Hou's mansion after entering the palace, right?"

Not to mention that he can't inherit his current identity, even if he can inherit it, Shen Yu is not uncommon. He wanted this position before, but it was because he should have obtained it. Rather than being occupied by others, it is better to hold it firmly in his own hands.

"He said, you are the only direct son of the Hou Mansion. If you are in love and reason, this position should be yours."

Not only Shang Junlin, but in the early days, the ministers who heard Zhenbeihou's words had strange expressions on their faces. They really didn't understand why Zhenbeihou suddenly came here.

If you really want to make your son-in-law the heir, why haven't you mentioned it since they haven't entered the palace for more than ten years? It was only mentioned after people entered the palace to get holy favor, and many people looked at Zhenbeihou with strange eyes.

Can't Zhenbeihou feel it? How could he not feel the undisguised gaze? Even Shang Junlin's gaze on him was like needle felt.

"Marquis Zhenbei brought it up at this time, are you kidding me?"

Everyone can feel the rage in Shang Junlin's calm tone.

The Marquis of Zhenbei hurriedly knelt down: "I don't dare, but this position should be his. In the past, I was stunned by the demon, doting on his concubine and having children, and ignoring Xiao Yuliangduo. I want to take advantage of the opportunity now to make up for it one by one. past mistakes."

Shang Junlin looked down at him from a high place, neither agreeing nor rejecting, what the Marquis of Zhenbei wanted to say, but Shang Junlin interrupted him: "Now Ayu is my noble lord, and the Zhenbeihou mansion is just the past for him. No matter how you suddenly came up with this thought, whether it is true or false, this matter cannot be brought up again in the future."

Did you reject it outright? !

The courtiers couldn't comprehend what was happening in front of them.

After the court, the ministers who had good personal friends gathered together and couldn't help but talk about the morning court.

"What did the Marquis of Zhenbei think? At this time, he said that he wanted to establish a prince."

"If he really wanted to establish a heir, he would have done so long ago. The heir he originally wanted was the concubine who turned his elbows out. Could it be because he regretted it?"

"What's the use of regretting now? Everyone has been sent to the palace by him, and it is even more unrealistic to let His Majesty let them go back now, not to mention that your lord is so favored now, even if it is an unfavored concubine, there is absolutely no reason to do this. ."

"Yeah, with the degree of His Majesty's favor on your noble lord, it is only the position of a prince. Most of your noble lord doesn't care. If he really cared about this, he would not have entered the palace in the first place."

No one understood Zhenbeihou's sudden approach, and even officials who had a good relationship with Zhenbeihou were at a loss.

"I didn't promise him, Ayu can only be tied to me from now on." Shang Junlin led Shen Yu to sit on the soft couch.

"Even if Your Majesty agrees, it is impossible for me to agree. From the moment I entered the palace, I have nothing to do with Zhenbei Houfu."

But Shen Yu was also very curious why Zhenbeihou did this.

"Has something happened to the Marquis of Zhenbei recently?" Apart from this, Shen Yu couldn't think of any other reason.

"No, except for some petty troubles, Zhenbeihou Mansion is the same as usual."

Shang Junlin would not lie to him about this kind of thing, and Shen Yu ruled out this possibility.

Since there was nothing wrong with the Zhenbeihou mansion, why did the Zhenbeihou suddenly ask him to be crowned the prince?

In fact, there is one thing that the Marquis of Zhenbei was right. The position of the prince was originally gloomy. If it wasn't for the Marquis of Zhenbei who favored Shen Qingran's mother and son and refused to give him the position of the prince, he would have been the rightful name of the Marquis of Zhenbei. world.

A few days later, news came from Zhenbeihou's mansion that Zhenbeihou was looking at others for Shen Qingran.

Shen Qingran and Shen Yu are about the same age, and they are indeed at an age where they can see each other. First, they asked Shen Yu to be the heir, and then they proposed to Shen Qingran. Is there any connection between the two?

"Which house did the Marquis of Zhenbei show Shen Qingran?" Shen Yu asked while rubbing the wall of the cup.

"It's the daughter of the side branch of the Duan family," Shang Junlin said when Yin Longwei inquired about the news, "and the daughter of the Yi family and the Chen family."

Without exception, they are all girls from a family in the capital. I am afraid that what Zhenbeihou sees is not the girl's own province, but the forces behind them.

marriage.

This kind of thing is very common in aristocratic families, and the Marquis of Zhenbei will choose the path of marriage, Shen Yu is not surprised, but the object of the marriage is Shen Qingran...

"They are all willing to marry their daughters to Shen Qingran?"

"Although he is a concubine, he is the only person in Zhenbei Houfu who is likely to inherit the Houfu. In addition, with your elder brother, it is normal for these people to be tempted."

What Shang Junlin said is true. Not everyone knows the grievances between Shen Yu and Zhenbei Hou's mansion. From the outsider's point of view, although Shen Yu and Zhenbei's mansion are not close, they are not to the point of life and death, no matter what happens in the middle. , can't change the fact that he is the son of Zhenbei Hou.

Even fewer people knew about the grievances with Shen Qingran. Before entering the palace, Shen Yu lived in a secluded place and had little sense of existence in the capital. Shen Qingran was not stupid enough to go around and talk about how he oppressed his brother-in-law in the Houfu of Zhenbei.

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

After many days, the Marquis of Zhenbei stepped into Shen Qingran's yard again and was locked up for a period of time. Shen Qingran was quite honest. Two months ago, the Marquis of Zhenbei lifted his foot restraint and could move freely in the house. , but not out of the house.

Shen Qingran also understood that the father of Zhenbeihou has nothing to talk about. When it is useful to him, he can treat you in every possible way.

"Why is my father here?" Shen Qingran learned to disguise after hitting the wall many times.

"You have also reached the age of marriage. Ben Hou has seen several women for you, and you can choose by yourself." Zhenbei Hou raised his hand, and the servant behind him held the roster and put it on the table.

Shen Qingran barely kept the expression on his face: "Is my father here for this?"

"Your brother has been in the palace for a year, and you should get married. After getting married, you will spread branches and leaves for the Hou's residence as soon as possible." The meaning of Zhenbei Hou's words is obvious.

Shen Qingran looked strange: "Father knows that I like men."

Zhenbeihou waved his hand impatiently: "It's just for you to marry a regular wife. Now you are the only one in the Hou residence. When you have a child, you can like whoever you want."

"What my father said is," Shen Qingran glanced at the booklet on the table, "my son will take a good look at it."

"They're all women from a good family background. You should hurry up and pick them, so I can get back to the woman as soon as possible."

After Zhenbei Hou left, Shen Qingran walked to the table and sat down, and slowly opened the booklet. The Marquis of Zhenbei didn't lie to him. The women with the names in the booklet all had good family backgrounds. If you think about it seriously, marrying these women, Shen Qingran is considered high.

The news of Zhenbei Hou's mansion reached the imperial palace, and Mu Xi knew that Shen Yu was paying more attention to what happened in Zhenbei's mansion recently, so he told Shen Yu as soon as he got the news.

Depressed let them continue to pay attention.

Hanzhou, because of the arrival of the King of Yue and his party, there is no atmosphere for Chinese New Year.

The King of Yue now lives in the main house of the Cheng family. The Cheng family only found out what kind of boat they were forced to be tied to after the King of Yue arrived. It's not that no one is dissatisfied, but the matter has come to this point. They have no other way to go except to follow the King of Yue.

The situation outside is tense, and King Yue is not in the mood for the holidays. Compared with these, he hopes that the people Mr. Tan said will come soon. He really doesn't want to be trapped here any longer.

"Mr. Tan, how long will it take for the person you said to be there to come?"

"They have already arrived. In the mountains in the western rear of Hanzhou, they have to wait for a suitable time to attack us from inside and outside to break through the encirclement."

Hearing this sentence, the boulder in King Yue's heart slowly fell: "Where is this king's person? Has Mr. Tan responded?"

According to Mr. Tan, the reason why the people who responded came so late was to take a detour to bring over the forces that the King of Yue left in the fief.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, you are already on your way."

The King of Yue knew that what he was doing would bring big trouble. Before he was completely sure, he was very careful not to let the court see that something was wrong, which happened to be convenient for them at this time.

The court did not know exactly where the forces that King Yue had developed over the years were hidden so deeply that even if they sent people to Yuezhou, they would not be able to find them out in a short time.

Mr. Tan took the tea from the maid and took a sip: "One more thing, my people recently received a special invitation for cooperation, is the lord interested?"

King of Yue: "Oh?"

Mr. Tan: "It's someone from Beimo, saying that there is an adult who is willing to help the prince."

King of Yue: "People from Beimo? Didn't they just get defeated by Subei Army?"

Mr. Tan sold out: "Yes, no, the lord will know when the time comes."

King Yue had no choice but to fight against Shang Junlin. He didn't have enough manpower now. He didn't have time to think about why these people helped him. He just wanted to change the current situation as quickly as possible.

He does not want to be crushed by Shang Junlin all the time. One day, Shang Junlin will definitely be his defeated general! The humiliation he suffered will be returned a thousandfold!

"Sir, the people we sent to Hanzhou came back and said that the King of Yue seems to have a connection between two forces." At noon, Mu Xi brought warm water in.

Shen Yu washed his hands and wiped it with a veil: "I see, pay more attention there, it's best to find out where the power of the people who are in contact with them is."

"My servant understands," Mu Xi handed the water basin to the palace servant, and continued, "The Duke of Zhenbei has handed a salutation to the son again, do you want to see him?"

Since Shen Yu entered the palace, the Marquis of Zhenbei has not less sent posts to the palace, and the words are less than three times a month. Except for very few times, Shen Yu has not seen it, and the Marquis of Zhenbei is very angry, but he can't do anything without seeing people .

This time, for some unknown reason, have been sending messages to the palace for several days. The person who sent the message said that the Marquis of Zhenbei wanted to see you on something important, and hoped that you would agree to it.

Shen Yu was a little curious about what the Duke of Zhenbei wanted to do. He pondered for a moment and said, "See you."

If Shen Yu wants to see the Marquis of Zhenbei, it is enough to call the person directly into the palace. Before meeting the person, Shen Yu told Shang Junlin, and Shang Junlin proposed to accompany him.

Shen Yu felt that if Shang Junlin was here, the Marquis of Zhenbei would not have a lot to say.

"Do you want to avoid it first, Your Majesty, I really want to know what the Marquis of Zhenbei is going to tell me."

"I'm so shameless?" Shang Junlin pinched his gloomy face.

Shen Yu patted his hand away: "Your Majesty knows that I don't mean that."

"Then, when Ayu kisses me, I will depend on you for everything."

Shen Yu glanced at him sideways, and gave him a perfunctory peck on the face. Shang Junlin was not satisfied, and he had been pushed into the room by Shen Yu.

"I'm kissing you, so I'll trouble Your Majesty to wait here for a while."

When the Duke of Zhenbei arrived, he only saw the depression sitting on the main seat.

"What do you want to tell me, Lord Hou?"

"The minister sent a letter to you to ask for the prince, but His Majesty rejected it." Zhenbei Hou knew that Shen Yu didn't like nonsense, so he cut to the chase.

"Is the Marquis of Zhenbei here for this matter?" Shen Yu's tone was careless, and it seemed that he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was stunned for a while, before he said, "I chose a wife from a famous family for Shen Qingran, and when his first child is born, he will adopt your name and inherit the title of Marquis in the future."

Shen Yu couldn't help sneering and said: "Don't you think that what you think is too beautiful?"
