Chapter 226 The Princess's Deeds
Back in the room, Shen Xia lay down.
Song Jiang got on the bed and massaged her, especially her hands.
In the end, her hands were shaking.
Shen Xia fell asleep while Song Jiang was massaging her.
Song Jiang looked at Shen Xia's face quietly, thinking about his own plans, feeling reluctant.
Very conflicted.
Shen Xia didn't even get up to eat at night.
Wait until you wake up naturally.
Only then did Song Jiang ask someone to bring the meal.
After finishing the meal, it was not possible to rest right away, so he went out for a walk in the yard.
Looking at Song Yunzheng walking towards this side.
Looking at Shen Xia: "Awake, have you eaten yet?"
Shen Xia nodded: "I ate it."
There is only good luck and happiness around Shen Xia.
Shen Xia suddenly asked: "Do you know Xiao Bei?"
Song Yun said, "Yeah,"
"You know there's a patient at home today!"
Song Yun nodded.
"He said he was Xiao Bei,"
Song Yun looked at Shen Xia curiously, and asked everyone around him to go down.
The two walked to the pavilion and sat down.
"Xiao Bei is the general guarding the southern border. He was once a favored subordinate of Princess Gu Xi. Later, the princess withdrew from the court and gave up her military power. The power of the court's million-man army was transferred to Xiao Bei, Qin Han, and Tu Yi." Song Yun said.
Shen Xia's gossip sparked, her eyes lit up, and she asked curiously, "A princess holds the power of a million soldiers?"
This is incredible! Who would have thought that a woman could hold such great power? How could this not be surprising?
Song Yuncai patiently explained, "The previous emperor had only two legitimate children, one was the eldest princess and the other was her younger brother. However, the eldest princess showed extraordinary talent since she was young, and was both good at literature and martial arts, while her younger brother was weak and sickly. In addition, the eldest princess has been on the battlefield since she was young, pacifying the four directions, and is both wise and brave."
Shen Xia nodded in sudden realization: "Oh, so that's how it is. Then the current emperor is the eldest princess's younger brother."
Song Yuncai shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Her brother died before he could inherit the throne. A few years later, the late emperor was critically ill and wanted to pass the throne to the eldest princess, but the eldest princess resolutely refused and wholeheartedly assisted her nephew to ascend the throne."
Shen Xia couldn't help but ask curiously: "Could it be that she was forced to give up power by her nephew in the end?"
"No, the emperor respects the eldest princess very much. The eldest princess's only daughter is missing, and he is so focused on finding his beloved daughter that he has limited energy, so he released the military power."
"She gave up her military power and assisted the emperor for many years. Later, when the emperor was fully capable of handling the government, the princess withdrew from the court."
"But over the years, the eldest princess's position has been unshakable. It can be said that she is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. This shows that the emperor still values affection very much."
"Oh, what an amazing woman. I really want to meet her." Shen Xia thought, a woman could have such achievements. She also wanted to meet this wise and brave princess.
Song Yun shook his head: "You can't see her. The princess rarely even comes out to royal banquets."
"Oh, that's true. The eldest princess devoted herself to the country, but she couldn't even protect her only daughter. It would be hard for anyone to let it go!" Shen Xia said with emotion.
Song Yun looked at the stars in Shen Xia's eyes when she mentioned the princess, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "It seems that you are very interested in this princess."
Shen Xia nodded vigorously: "Of course! Don't you think she is a remarkable woman? In our time, she would definitely become everyone's idol!"
Song Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile: "Well, you are also a wonderful woman."
Shen Xia waved her hands quickly: "I am not some extraordinary woman. Compared with that princess, I am still far behind! I am just standing on the shoulders of giants."
At this time, Song Yun took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and handed it to Shen Xia.
Shen Xia looked down, her eyes suddenly widened, and she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow——"
There is actually one thousand taels of silver in front of me!
Shen Xia looked at Song Yun in disbelief: "Where did you get so much money?"
Song Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Part of it is the money from writing the book, and part of it is the money I earned from the topic I set."
Shen Xia was amused.
A question?
You are truly the greatest person of all time!
You can earn money by taking the exam.
How can you be better than the third brother?
Shen Xia took it with a smile: "Then do you have any money left on you?"
Song Yun nodded: "Yes, don't worry!"
Shen Xia took the money and said, "Okay! I'll take it back from you. If you need it, come to me. I'll give it to you when you find a woman you like."
"it is good,"
After a while, the two chatted about some things related to reading.
Seeing that it was getting late,
Shen Xia said: "Then I will go back."
"Well, I'll take you downstairs."
"it is good."
I went downstairs and looked at my second brother.
"Second brother——"
Then he turned around and looked at his fourth brother: "Fourth brother, you should go back to bed early too."
"Oh, come in!"
"Ah."
After entering,
"Go take a shower! I've prepared the water and clothes for you." Song Ming said.
Shen Xia happily kissed Song Ming on the face: "Thank you, second brother."
Song Ming pursed his lips and touched the place where Xia Xia had just kissed him.
Wait for Shen Xia to come out.
Song Ming then took him upstairs.
There was nothing else between the two of them except kisses and hugs.
That's nothing.
Because when it comes to eating meat, it's fine as long as you don't start it.
The second brother is not like the third brother, he is very easy to please.
Although the eldest brother has eaten meat, his self-control is much better than that of the third brother.
Now Shen Xia is used to sleeping with someone in her arms at night.
But it’s only when it’s cold. When it’s hot, I still like to put big characters on it.
Shen Xia has not gone out these two days.
The two children are about to go back to school.
The night before, Shen Xia prepared a lot of things specifically for the two of them, preparing everything from head to toe very carefully.
Before school started, they asked their family to make three sets of autumn and winter clothes for each of them.
The clothes must have been made in advance, so everyone’s winter clothes are almost ready.
The thing the Song family lacked the least was fabric.
The other two gave five taels of silver each, and did not give more, because they were in the same academy as Fourth Brother, and if they needed money for anything, they could go to Fourth Brother, so they did not give much silver.
And since Fourth Brother started studying first, Shen Xia asked him in advance about what preparations he needed to make for his studies.
There is only more preparation, no less preparation.
On the second day
I had always gone with my third and eldest brothers before, so this time, my second brother accompanied Xiaowu and Xiaotian.
Song Yun was also there.
Yan Yi drove everyone out in a carriage early in the morning.
We arrived at the county just before noon.
Then I heard Song Yun say in the carriage that the notice is usually posted at noon.
Shen Xia calculated that noon was around eleven o'clock.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he didn't send the two children to the academy yet.
