Chapter 1194 Discovering the Secret
This was an extremely brutal dimensionality reduction blow. Five thousand-stone cargo ships were blown to pieces, and all the eighty-four water thieves on board were killed. In fact, most of the water thieves were stunned and fell into the river and drowned. Even if If he hadn't drowned, he would have been killed with arrows by two hundred soldiers.
Until five full days had passed, Shen Zhenzhu and Shen Li's fear had not been completely eliminated.
At night, twenty thousand-stone ships were sailing on the water of Hangzhou Bay. In the living cabin of one of the ships, Li Ye invited two beauties to drink tea together. He said apologetically: "I'm sorry for letting you see the cruel scenes of war. , I should ask you to close your eyes."
Shen Pearl shook her head, "It's not a bad thing to feel the cruelty of war. Although we couldn't accept it at the time, it will at least make us understand how difficult it is to live a peaceful life."
Li Ye secretly admired Shen Zhenzhu's ability to speak. He glanced at Shen Li and said with a smile, "I thought Miss Shen would get seasick, but there seemed to be no problem at all, which surprised me."
Shen Li was a little embarrassed and said: "The women in our family don't seem to get seasick, and I don't know why!"
"Have Miss Shen been to Quanzhou?"
Shen Li shook her head, "I haven't been there, but my third uncle is there. He seems to be the captain of Jinjiang County."
Next to her, Shen Zhenzhen asked curiously: "The entire Fujian Province is under the rule of His Highness, right? Why did you go to Quanzhou?"
"Quanzhou was our territory before, and we developed it early. I went to Quanzhou this time to inspect shipbuilding and the sowing of new rice in Nanyang. This is very important. If the trial planting is successful, the poor of the Tang Dynasty will also be able to eat it. It’s time for lunch.”
Shen Zhenzhu sighed: "His Highness cares about the people of the world, which is the blessing of the people of the Tang Dynasty!"
"It's getting late, let's rest!"
Li Ye winked at Shen Zhenzhu, stood up and left first.
Shen Zhenzhu's pretty face was slightly red, and her eyes were full of anticipation. Shen Li bit her lip gently, and she keenly captured the subtle movements of Li Ye winking at her aunt just now.
They lived with Li Ye on the third floor. The second floor was the residence of the maids and servants. The entire third floor was empty, just the three of them, each with their own cabin.
Shen Zhenzhu and Shen Li's cabins were next door, both inside and outside. They were served by maids during the day, but not at night. The maids all went to the second floor.
Shen Li leaned in front of the cabin door. At this time, she heard the sound of the door opening slightly, and then closing it again.
She opened it slightly and saw her aunt, wearing a middle coat and bare feet, tiptoeing towards the cabin next door. She pushed open the cabin and went in, then closed it gently.
Shen Li's nose felt sore and she felt like crying.
The night before she left, her grandfather had already told her that the family allowed her to go to Beijing to become the woman of the Supervisor. Once the Supervisor ascends the throne, she will be the concubine of the palace. She is the only one in the entire Jiangnan who has obtained this marriage. Chance.
Her grandfather didn't tell her about her aunt, but Shen Li had long discovered that the relationship between her aunt and Jian Guo was unusual. Her aunt looked at Jian Guo in the wrong way, full of fascination and enthusiasm, which couldn't be hidden from her eyes. Now she finally sat down In fact, the two of them slept together.
Did the family want their aunt and niece to marry the same man?
Shen Li actually didn't have any feelings for Li Ye at first, not even as much as Gu Tong. Gu Tong wrote to her every day and fell in love with her, which really touched her heart. However, she obeyed the family's arrangement and wrote Gu Tong to her. All the letters were burned.
Until she encountered bandits in the Qiantang River, Li Ye protected her strongly, making her feel a huge sense of security. When there was a violent explosion on the river, Li Ye held her tightly under him. She felt like a bird hiding in the storm. She was extremely attached to the bird's nest that could shelter her from wind and rain.
From that night on, the weak scholar Gu Tong completely disappeared from her heart. Li Ye broke into her heart domineeringly, protecting her and giving her an extremely comfortable sense of security. From that day on, his tall and strong figure occupied Her heart.
But at this time, her aunt occupied the man who attracted her attention. She threw herself on the quilt and cried sadly.
In another cabin, a storm was going on. Shen Pearl completely let herself go in the storm, accepting the baptism and impact of the storm with her whole body and mind. She was completely conquered and completely intoxicated by the most primitive desires of human beings.
The flowers bloomed and fell, the streams went and came again. The storm in the cabin lasted for more than an hour, and then it finally calmed down. There were only heavy breathing and heartbeats in the entire cabin.
Shen Zhenzhu hugged Li Ye's neck and said coquettishly: "It's really terrible. I find that I can't live without you. What should I do? It's all your fault!"
Li Ye hugged her and smiled: "That's why I ask you to come back to Chang'an with me and become my woman."
"She is already your woman, but I really don't understand why you like mature women? Isn't it bad for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old lady?"
"I hope you will give me a son. You have given birth before, so it is easier to have children. You know I have no brothers. I only have two sons, which are too few. I hope I have more than twenty sons, so that I I can send them to the far west and overseas to establish kingdoms. I also hope that the Tang Dynasty will have a larger population and they can go to distant places to colonize, so I specially ordered to encourage widows to remarry by reducing taxes.
It can be said that increasing the population is currently the first national policy of the Tang Dynasty. All government decrees are formulated around population increase. The most important thing is to keep the people fed and clothed. Only when they are full and warm will they have more interest! "
"You obviously want a woman, but you are so shameless as to make up a set of perverse theories to excuse yourself. But I like it. I really want to have another child."
Li Ye smiled and nodded, "There will definitely be one. I can feel that you are in a mature state. It is the season of harvest after sowing seeds."
Shen Zhenzhu got up to put on her clothes, but Li Ye hugged her, "Sleep with me until dawn!"
"No, she will find out."
"What does it matter if she finds out?"
Shen Zhenzhu bit her lip, "Your Highness really doesn't understand?"
Li Ye said lightly: "She was arranged for me by your Shen family!"
Shen Zhenzhu nodded, "Your Highness wants to marry into the Jiangnan gentry, she is the most suitable, her mother is the eldest daughter of the Suzhou Lu family, basically, the marriage of the Jiangnan family Marriage can be reflected in her relationships with all her elders, but I don't want her to be a simple political marriage, that's too unfortunate, I hope Your Highness can like her, so I took her and Your Highness along the way. "
Li Ye smiled slightly and said: "Her appearance does attract me, let the princess meet her, and there will be no problem if the princess agrees. "
"Your Highness can't make your own decision?"
"I want you to be my concubine, are you willing?"
Shen Zhenzhu shook her head, "I am willing to be your woman, but not a concubine, Your Highness, I'm sorry, I really don't want to be bound by marriage anymore, not because of the identity of the Crown Princess."
Li Ye nodded, "I fully understand and won't force you!"
Shen Zhenzhu took the initiative to kiss Li Ye, but still put on her clothes and got up and left.
Li Ye watched her leave, and he realized that Shen Zhenzhu was such an independent woman.
