Chapter 438 Misunderstanding
Zhou Qing rolled her eyes silently in her heart.
Did she dare to say it directly?
Although she loved Shen Li, and was sure that Shen Li loved her, and she knew that Shen Li himself was capable enough, but when her father said that everything was up to you, she didn't think of Shen Li at all.
Having a father is enough!
A child with a father is a treasure.
She didn't dare to say that.
The scene of serving tea under the acacia tree that time had a huge impact on her. Living with the emperor is like living with a tiger. If she said in front of the emperor that she didn't count on Shen Li, who knows if the emperor would be angry.
Pursing her lips, Zhou Qing said: "As the leader of the shadow, Shen Li is first a loyal minister of the court, and then a minister's husband. I will never let family affairs interfere with state affairs, and I will always put the overall situation first."
I thought that such words about putting the overall situation first would please the emperor, but I didn't expect that after she finished speaking, the emperor just raised his eyebrows lightly, and his high spirits just disappeared.
Until she came out of the palace, Zhou Qing didn't understand what was wrong with this statement.
The Huaishan Gang did not leave. They kept chatting at the palace gate and waiting for Zhou Qing to come out with Zhou Huaishan.
At a glance, the colorful flowers were particularly exciting.
When Zhou Qing arrived, a group of people rushed into the carriage and went home.
Imperial study.
After Zhou Qing left, the emperor sat there in silence. Half an incense stick of time passed, and he didn't even change his posture.
The eunuch general manager saw something was wrong, hesitated again and again, and gently pushed the emperor, "What's wrong with your majesty? Did Madam Shen make you unhappy?"
His tone was very soft and cautious, as if he was coaxing a child.
The emperor was amused by his tone, sighed, stood up and walked to the window.
"Tell me, why does Zhou Qing prefer to rely on Zhou Huaishan instead of Shen Li?"
The eunuch chief steward didn't expect the emperor to be unhappy about this. After thinking for a while, he said, "Madam, put the overall situation first."
The emperor interrupted him, "What do you mean by putting the overall situation first? How long have they been married? Aren't they in love with each other in their newlywed days?
Zhou Qing just said those words to perfunctorily deal with me. She didn't count on Shen Li at all in her heart!"
Eunuch chief steward
Are you angry about this too?
The emperor seemed to know what the eunuch chief steward was complaining about, "Of course I am angry! I know how much Shen Li loves Zhou Qing, but Zhou Qing doesn't love Shen Li that much!"
The eunuch chief steward understood now.
He felt that Shen Li was at a disadvantage.
Tsk, he is so grown up, the king of a country, isn't he childish? !
"I just reflected on it. The reason why Zhou Qing is so dependent on Shen Li is mainly because Shen Li spent too little time with her. I was too careless."
Just now, I was complaining in my heart. Now the emperor's melancholy reflection made the eunuch chief steward feel like he was stung.
He knew the emperor's feelings for Shen Li.
"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. The shadows of all dynasties are the busiest places for official business."
"Busy is not an excuse. When I first ascended the throne, I was also busy inside and outside. But Wanwan has never been alienated from me. Wanwan is gentle and considerate to me."
Eunuch chief steward
The tone of voice is wrong!
It's just a chat. Why are you showing off your love?
I deserve to worry about you!
The eunuch chief steward stopped talking.
The emperor was silent for a while, and said to himself: "So, in the final analysis, the problem is still with Shen Li. You go to Guangping Marquis's Mansion and let them give him a good advice. He is so old, but he can't even coax his wife."
Late at night, the eunuch chief steward ran an inexplicable errand.
The result is that Shen Li, who was supposed to go home and sleep with his wife after finishing his official duties, was blocked by the people of Guangping Marquis's Mansion at the entrance of the shadow.
Shen Li had to follow them back to Guangping Marquis's Mansion.
As soon as he returned, he was greeted by the roar of the old lady, which frightened Shen Li to his knees: "Grandmother, what happened?"
The old lady stared at Shen Li with a sullen face, "What happened? You are not ashamed to ask me what happened? Let me ask you, are you and the Prince of Ning Palace broken up?"
Shen Li
Is this thing over!
"Break it, grandma, my grandson only has Zhou Qing in his heart now."
The old lady was furious, "Nonsense, if you only have Zhou Qing in your heart, why did you alarm the emperor and ask him to send the eunuch chief steward to come here in the middle of the night to personally remind us to be nice to Zhou Qing?"
Shen Li
Ah? !
The old lady slapped the table, "Have you hooked up with someone else again!"
In a hurry, the old lady spoke without thinking.
"Who are you? Do you need me to remind you? For so many years, I have regarded you as someone who knows how to make progress and has clear goals. How can you be so confused about this matter! Can't you help it or what? Is that thing so addictive?"
In a rage, the old lady lectured Shen Li for half an hour before letting him go.
Here, Shen Li went home dizzy after being scolded.
There, the posthouse where the Nanzhao Kingdom delegation stayed was brightly lit.
The palace banquet ended unhappily, and the mood of the Nanzhao Kingdom delegation had changed from the initial anger to the current uneasiness.
They came with a purpose.
It is impossible to return home just because of a palace banquet.
Although the Seventh Prince of Nanzhao was angry, he had to continue to do what he had to do.
The question now was how to continue.
Several envoys sat at the bottom and frequently expressed their ideas, and the Seventh Prince of Nanzhao vetoed them one by one with a sullen face.
Just when everyone was in a state of panic, Lord Zhao suddenly said, "I heard that Shadow Commander Shen Li is fond of men. If your Highness is willing, you might as well let Hongyu serve him for a few days."
Hongyu is the personal guard of the seventh prince of Nanzhao.
Highly skilled in martial arts and ruthless, such a cold-blooded killer is beautiful like a delicate flower, with red lips, white teeth, flowing shoulders and narrow waist.
When he is not murderous, his almond eyes always give people a sense of romanticism.
Some people did not know the truth before and even wanted to take him as a male lover.
Once Lord Zhao made this proposal, it was immediately seconded by other envoys.
Hongyu stood behind the seventh prince. Hearing this, he took a step forward and knelt on one knee, "If you need it, I am willing. Speaking of it, I still have some old feelings with Lord Shen."
His voice was very soft. This face matched his soft voice. Not to mention Shen Li, who is fond of men, even these normal men can't resist it.
The Seventh Prince took a breath and sighed, "The news may not be accurate."
They had received gossip before, saying that Zhou Huaishan was a simple and honest farmer!
What happened?
The farmer dyed his hair green? !
"Let's go and find out first. If the news is accurate, find a chance to let Hongyu contact Shen Li tomorrow."
As long as they can contain Shen Li, their mission this time will be much easier to accomplish.
