Chapter 440 Key
Three days later, the day before the autumn hunt ended.
Shen Shuyi was summoned by the Queen Mother again, and the person who came was still Aunt Chenxiang.
Chen Xiang looked at Shen Shuyi and asked kindly, "How is Miss Shen's recovery?"
Shen Shuyi said respectfully: "Thanks to the mercy of the queen, and the care of my aunt, I was not seriously injured and I am fine now."
Chen Xiang smiled and nodded, walking beside Shen Shuyi: "The Queen was also angry that day, but she didn't want to embarrass you."
"Shu Yi understands. Besides, those words should not have come from the mouth of a minister."
Hearing this, Aunt Chenxiang sighed and said, "The matter between the eldest princess and the second prince has always been a concern for the queen, but she gets along well with you, so it would be nice if you could spend more time talking to her."
"Yes, Shuyi will definitely do his best."
Soon, Shen Shuyi appeared in the Queen Mother's tent.
This time, the Empress Dowager was copying Buddhist scriptures, and what she was imitating was the Yuzhu Seal Script written by Shen Shuyi before. It can be seen that she really likes this font.
"May the Queen be blessed with good fortune and good fortune."
Hearing Shen Shuyi's voice, the Queen Mother did not even raise her head and said in a deep voice: "Come and take a look. How does Aijia write this character?"
Shen Shuyi stepped forward in response, stood beside the Queen Mother, and took a closer look.
The Empress Dowager had beautiful handwriting, but it was obvious that she was not good at Yuzhu Seal Script, so the coordination was always a little lacking, which affected the beauty.
"How?" The Queen Mother stopped writing.
Shen Shuyi said: "Your Highness has only practiced for a few days, yet you have such a charm. You are truly a master of our time!"
Probably because she didn't expect her to say that, the Queen Mother turned her head and looked at her. She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Are you saying that what I wrote is not good enough?"
Shen Shuyi curled his eyes and said with a smile: "Madam, if you practice for a few more days, I'm sure the master who created the Jade Chopstick Seal will be so angry that his coffin lid will flip over."
The Queen Mother raised her hand and Shen Shuyi hurried forward to support her.
"Oh? Why?"
Shen Shuyi said, "Because the queen only took a few days to learn her life's hard work, she was naturally angry and annoyed."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I wanted to advise you that being too strong will only lead to failure, but I didn't expect you to be such a smooth-talking girl!"
Shen Shuyi also smiled, her almond eyes clear: "The greatest advantage of this minister is honesty. If you don't believe me, you can ask the aunts to take a look."
Upon hearing this, Chenxiang said, "See, I said that your majesty's calligraphy is second to none."
Haoyue also said: "That's right, your Majesty has been copying scriptures for many years, not only is her handwriting good, but her heart is also sincere, so the Jade Chopstick Seal is naturally no problem."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother sighed and said, "The day before Changle died, he accompanied me to look through Buddhist scriptures. I only praised the beautiful and neat handwriting of Yuzhuan characters, which was quite Buddhist."
The aunts fell silent, and Shen Shuyi also remained silent.
The Queen Mother sat on the couch, and Shen Shuyi took the teapot from the maid and served her.
"Poor me, I can still do something for Changle, but Huaijin... there is nothing I can do for him..." Speaking of her eldest son, the empress dowager felt even more upset.
Shen Shu thought for a moment and said softly, "If your Majesty wants, it's not impossible."
Hearing this, the Queen Mother looked at her and asked, "What do you think?"
Shen Shuyi knelt on the ground and said softly, "Please forgive me first, Your Majesty."
The Queen Mother laughed: "After being beaten, you have learned a lot."
Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were clear as she said, "Every failure makes you wiser? I can't bear it again."
The Queen Mother motioned her to stand up and said with a smile, "Go ahead and speak. If you speak wrongly, you will be rewarded. If you speak well, you will be rewarded."
"Your Majesty can plead with His Majesty to make the Second Prince a king." Shen Shuyi spoke in a deep voice, looking directly at the empress dowager with her almond-shaped eyes, which was quite bold.
"Make him a king?" The Queen Mother's heart was slightly moved.
It's not that she hadn't thought about it, but her youngest son had a grudge against his brother. Although she had thought about it before, she didn't think he would agree, so in the end it was left unresolved.
After all, although the dead are important, the living son is more important.
She was the empress dowager of Daqian and also the emperor's mother.
She couldn't let her living son become estranged from her for the sake of a dead person. That would be the most foolish thing to do!
After a while, the Queen Mother shook her head and said, "Your Majesty will not agree."
Shen Shuyi said frankly: "Your Majesty is worrying too much. Your Majesty is a wise and benevolent monarch, and the former Second Prince is your Majesty's brother. How could Your Majesty be unwilling?"
The reason why Shen Shuyi was so sure was because she had mentioned this to the Queen Mother in her previous life.
Emperor Qianwu was indeed resentful when he was young and refused to posthumously confer the title of king on his brother, but later on, Shen Shuyi realized that the emperor did not hate his brother.
What bothered him was that, although they were brothers from the same mother, he would rather help others than himself.
Shen Shuyi said again: "Su Wen, the former Second Prince and Your Majesty had a close relationship when they were young. If Your Majesty can prove to Your Majesty that the former Second Prince was still thinking about Your Majesty in his heart until the end, I believe Your Majesty will definitely agree..."
The Queen Mother paused and said nothing.
Shen Shuyi continued: "Does your Majesty know if the Second Prince left anything behind? Or a message? Or anything related to Your Majesty..."
Shen Shuyi had heard about the late Second Prince from his uncle. He was indeed a loyal, brave and upright young hero, otherwise his uncle would not have been willing to follow the late Second Prince so wholeheartedly.
In her previous life, she had spent a lot of effort to obtain the relics of the late Second Prince.
Among those relics, there was a box.
It was filled with birthday gifts for His Majesty.
During the dispute over the throne, the two men developed a rift and never interacted with each other again. They even did not speak to each other when they met.
Although there is little sarcasm and they have never become enemies, it is difficult for them to stand in their respective camps like they did when they were children.
But Xiao Huaijin always had Emperor Qianwu in his heart. Although the birthday gifts were not sent out every year, he carefully prepared a gift and put it in the box.
Perhaps because he was afraid that he would die a violent death in the future and become a demon in the heart of Emperor Qianwu, he would leave a short letter every year.
However, the box was hidden so secretly that when Xiao Huaijin was buried, the empress dowager sent someone to take it into the imperial mausoleum. The letters were mixed in the sealing layer of the box and were never discovered.
Thinking of this, Shen Shuyi couldn't help but recall that in his previous life, he led people to dig the tomb overnight and narrowly escaped death.
She laughed self-deprecatingly.
But fortunately, the suffering I went through in my previous life can finally save me some effort in this life...
Shen Shuyi said softly: "My queen, the key is not to crown the Second Prince as a king, but to resolve the rift between him and His Highness. You are their mother, and no one can do it better than you."
The Queen Mother looked at Shen Shuyi, her beautiful eyes deep and forbearing: "Ai Jia?"
Shen Shuyi nodded: "Yes."
