Chapter 44 Urging marriage
"Where does such a murderous aura come from? What are you looking at?" The Queen asked when she saw Shen Qingzhou watching the two people leaving.

"Aunt, I just want to make sure they heard what I said." Shen Qingzhou said this to Yan Xiaoyi and Hong Sixiang.

He did this this time actually to show his attitude and to indicate that the queen had such a relative to rely on.

If he made this idea known to others, people would laugh at him. Who would dare to touch the queen? However, Shen Qingzhou had watched TV dramas and seen part of the background story. The queen had a bad end, so he had to make his position clear in advance.

In fact, he was not used to the prince's methods. He could kill people, and he would kill people, but he could not stand killing innocent people.

However, the prince is the prince, and the queen is the queen. Although many people will regard him as a descendant of the prince, he will not do anything unnecessary.

The queen is not a good person either, but everyone in the world can say bad things about her, but he has no right to do so. He has to protect her and make people feel cautious. If someone wants to touch her, they have to consider whether he will take revenge on her. As for whether this will leave him with a weak spot, he said that it would not happen.

Besides, even if you don't show it, others won't know about her relationship with you? Everyone who should know knows it, so it's better to be open and aboveboard so that people will be afraid to act rashly.

To this end, he even showed off a few lines he remembered from a murderous poem.

"Why do you want them to hear it?" The queen's face turned pale. When she heard the murder just now, combined with Shen Qingzhou's poem, she thought of that hellish night again.

"Aunt, let me make my attitude clear. What if they retaliate against you?"

"You think too much." The queen felt warm in her heart. Over the years, Shen Qingzhou was the first one who said he wanted to protect her.

"But how did you write this poem? It's so murderous." The queen said. This poem may not be a classic and is very straightforward, but in terms of murderousness, there are indeed not many that can compare to it.

Especially when it comes from Shen Qingzhou's mouth, he really is a murderer and has carried out massacres on the grassland more than once or twice. When he speaks this kind of poem, it naturally reveals a murderous aura.

"Aunt, something seems to be wrong with you. I scared you." Shen Qingzhou also saw the queen's expression.

"I thought of some bad things." The queen still didn't mention revenge, even though he was already a ninth-rank official. Now, the most important thing was to find him a wife so that he could carry on the family line.

"Don't be so impulsive in the future. I heard that Yan Xiaoyi is one of the few people closest to a grandmaster. Don't think that being a ninth-rank master is already very powerful. If it weren't for Eunuch Hong coming, you would have suffered."

"Aunt, you don't think I lost, do you? I fought with Eunuch Hong because Yan Xiaoyi had already been defeated by me. His quiver was empty. He couldn't do anything to me from a distance, and he was even less of a match for me in close combat. If Eunuch Hong hadn't come, he would have had to flee in disgrace, without any dignity at all."

"You defeated Yan Xiaoyi?" The queen was a little incredulous. How old are you?

"Eunuch Hong can testify. Speaking of which, this eunuch is much stronger than Yan Xiaoyi, and his inner energy is very domineering." Shen Qingzhou pretended to be sideways.

"Eunuch Hong is a grandmaster. If he is serious, you won't be able to get away so easily." The fact that Emperor Qing is a grandmaster is top secret. The Queen certainly doesn't know about it. People in the palace and even outsiders think it is Hong Sixiang. Yan Xiaoyi also thinks so.

"I see, Aunt, let me help you." Shen Qingzhou naturally held the Queen's arm. He was not taking advantage of her. He was circulating his Qi and blood. He could not release this, but the flow of Qi and blood made his palms warm. The Queen only felt a warmth, which calmed her frightened heart. "Aunt, you were frightened just now." Shen Qingzhou said.

"A little, much better." The queen was originally still thinking about her parents and relatives, recalling the pain, but when she saw Shen Qingzhou at this moment, she felt warm. She thought of the night when she had nightmares and was awakened many times in the middle of the night. This child she picked up from the pile of dead bodies was her only comfort.

Shen Qingzhou didn't know that he had become a ray of light in the queen's hateful heart. When she was most sad and desperate, Shen Qingzhou appeared, and this was her spiritual sustenance.

Shen Qingzhou supported the queen a little awkwardly because he was too tall. However, he found something wrong. Why did the queen's headdress look so much like a weapon? After thinking about it, he thought that it might be used for self-defense, for fear that Ye Qingmei's followers would come and kill her.

"Qingzhou, you've suffered a lot over the years to get to this point." Back in the palace, all the candles were burning again. Shen Qingzhou didn't think about changing her behavior habits in a short time.

The queen was looking at Shen Qingzhou, whose whole body was glowing. Although he had an ordinary appearance, his achievement of defeating Yan Xiaoyi was too terrifying. His appearance was nothing compared to the identity of a master above the ninth rank.

"It's all worth it. At least I have the initial ability to protect you." The queen felt a little strange after hearing what Shen Qingzhou said. Why did it seem so wrong? It was obviously a good thing.

"Aunt has gotten used to it over the years. Qingzhou, you must have learned some things in Kyoto these few days. Is there any girl you like?" The name Shen Qingzhou was chosen by Shen Qingzhou himself. The queen did not give him her family name because she was afraid of being exposed before, and now she does not want to provoke the nerves of Ye Qingmei's followers.

"Aunt, I just returned to Kyoto. Your Majesty has bestowed upon me the position of Deputy Privy Councilor, but I haven't understood any of this yet." Shen Qingzhou was helpless. You are trying to arrange a marriage for me.

Although he is not opposed to getting married, it is too early. He is not old and still has the values ​​​​from his previous life. He is not a pervert and does not like flower buds. He must be engaged to someone of similar age.

He actually understood the Queen's thoughts. She wanted him to carry on the family's prosperity. She had said this to him several times when they met occasionally when they were young.

But if my aunt insists on doing so, he would also like to make a choice. If there is a beauty like my aunt, he is not unwilling to sacrifice her.

He also knew that if he had not become successful now, the Queen might not have considered his ideas. Now he didn't know how old his child would be if he could still live to this day.

"You are not young anymore, it's time for you to think about it. If there is a girl you like, your aunt will propose marriage to you." This was the first time the queen said this, and she didn't force it too much.

"You are now in a high position with great power, but since you have just entered the officialdom, there must be things you don't understand. Your cousin is the crown prince, so if you need anything, just go to him directly." The queen naturally arranged Shen Qingzhou to the crown prince. She never thought that you could support other people in your family.

Shen Qingzhou naturally agreed, although he felt that his aunt was a little childish. After all, she was in the inner palace and she didn't know a lot of news, but as long as she was happy, it was fine.

……

Guangxin Palace.

"Xiao Yi has met the eldest princess and the prince." Yan Xiaoyi is a senior bootlicker when facing the eldest princess. His life experience is quite similar to Shen Qingzhou's.
