Chapter 13 The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada

Pinxian Building is the first restaurant in Beijing, and it is naturally in the most prosperous area of Beijing. Shen Miaolan was about to get out of the carriage and take a good look at the street scene thousands of years ago, but saw Shen Mo, who was looking outward, put the curtain on the coachman outside and said, "Turn the horse's head and go home." ”

The coachman was a person from the third room, so he naturally listened to Shen Mo, and he didn't ask much, so he pulled the reins, drank a sigh, and avoided pedestrians on the road and turned his head to drive towards the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion.

Because of the sudden U-turn of the carriage, Miaolan shook twice in the car. After holding the body firm, he looked at Shen Mo unsatisfied, "What do you want to go back?"

"Naturally, there is a reason to go back, so don't ask more. Shen Mo's expression was serious, obviously not interested in joking with Shen Miaolan or saying anything more.

Shen Miaolan felt Shen Mo's low pressure, and she didn't say much. Just lifted the royal blue feather curtain and looked out.

Before she could see the outside clearly, she was caught back by Shen Mo. Not without reproach, "Why are you so careless, what do you probe to see?"

Shen Miaolan was unhappy, "If you just told me why you turned the horse's head and went home, what else would I see?"

Shen Mo glared at Shen Miaolan, "Strong words!"

"It's still a fallacy. Shen Miaolan pursed her lips and glared at Shen Mo.

Shen Mo never knew that his well-behaved sister would talk back. I didn't know how to answer in an instant, so I had to say honestly, "We were followed by the people in the second room." ”

"Huh?" Shen Miaolan was surprised. The second room is too hard, right, do you have to follow someone in the third room when you go out?

Shen Mo looked a little helpless and sighed. "The second uncle is a little too anxious. The eldest brother's illness could not last more than two years, and he had no children. The elders and young are orderly, and the matter of attacking the lord naturally falls on the head of the second room. Sooner or later, it's all theirs, so why bother to wipe out our three rooms. ”

"You don't understand this," Shen Miaolan shook her head, "Some people are like this, if you don't hold something tightly in your hand, you won't be sure." I guess that's how the second uncle is. ”

Shen Miaolan didn't have a good impression of the second uncle she had never met, so she was naturally a little contemptuous in her words. Shen Mo felt quite surprised. The reason why Shen Miaolan is quite popular in the entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is precisely because she is cautious in her words and deeds, never saying a word, let alone showing dissatisfaction with anyone. It's good to be a good person, but as a brother, I always feel that my sister is a little alienated from me.

Seeing that she was unsuspecting today, I felt a warm current in my heart. The mood also became happy, "Originally, at the request of the prince, I took you out to meet him." Now it's delaying the two of you. ”

Wow, go~ Shen Miaolan is about to kowtow to thank the second room, okay? The embarrassing thing of meeting the prince was so easily avoided. Is there anything more enjoyable these days?

But in the end, the original owner and the prince are also like glue, a pair of little mandarin ducks in distress, and they are not too happy. So he bit his lip and hung his head, "It's good not to see it, something like this happened in our house, and I'm afraid my fate with the prince will be over." Why bother in vain. ”

Shen Mo also sighed, looking at Shen Miaolan's aggrieved appearance with her head lowered, how could she faintly feel a little distressed that her fate was unlucky.

Shen Miaolan, the fifth girl who was designated as the crown princess in the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, had a private meeting with people in front of the Empress Dowager's mother's family, Rongguo Mansion, and then the so-called lover's house caught fire and almost killed someone. There are both common and uncommon means of house fighting, and those with a discerning eye don't know that this is the result of the competition for the crown princess in the mansion of Marquis Ningyuan.

The crown prince is the prince, the future emperor, and the crown princess is the future mother of a country. In order for the prince to have a reliable father-in-law to support, the heavenly family will no longer choose the daughter of the Shen family to enter the palace.

Now Shen Guifei, who was born in the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion in the palace, and Wan Guifei, who was born in a poor family, have become two big trends, and the selection of the daughter of the Shen family as the crown princess is nothing more than the fear that the four princes born by Shen Guifei will marry the daughter of the Shen family, making the forces behind them stronger and threatening the prince. When the Queen Mother chose Shen Miaolan to enter the palace, it was because her grandmother was the eldest princess of Chaoyang and the aunt and grandmother of the prince. With such an identity, he will naturally not favor the four princes.

But now that this matter has come out, the Queen Mother is afraid that she will have to reconsider.

The selection of concubines by the emperor and grandson is all what the queen mother said, and she will not let the daughter of the Shen family enter the palace to marry the fourth prince, what can you do.

Therefore, what the second room did this time has been stupid to a certain extent, and it is completely harmful to others and not to himself.

Shen Miaolan silently lit a wax for her pig teammates, and Shen Mo silently lit a wax for Shen Miaolan in her heart. This girl was completely lying down and was shot.

The second room followed the people in the third room, and when they saw the carriage turn around, they couldn't figure out where they were going, so they had to return in vain.

The prince waited left and right in Pinxian Building and didn't wait for anyone, but waited for Shen Mo to send to inform the little guy who couldn't come. Inevitably, I feel a little unhappy. said to the young man who was sitting at the round table behind him and playing with his cheeks and drinking glasses, "Xiuming, let's not get drunk today." ”

As soon as the words fell, the wine glass in Xiu Ming's hand fell on the table. According to reliable information, today, his stepmother stuffed four beautiful girls into his room on the grounds that he was old but did not marry. If he drinks too much and goes back, and he can't control what he has done, all these years of abstinence and lust torture will be wasted!

The prince thought about his little Miaomiao, and noticed the change on his good brother's face. He only opened the door of the box and said to the waiter who was guarding outside, "We have our usual wine and food." ”

The boy was a constant attendant, and immediately received the commandment. The prince turned around and closed the door and returned to the box.

It was just a short pavement, but it was seen by the two people downstairs. These two people are the yellow-robed youth group that followed Shen Miaolan.

"Fourth master, it seems that it is the prince upstairs!" The blue-robed young man looked at the yellow-robed young man with a surprised expression.

The four princes tilted their heads and looked at the tightly closed door with interest. A faint smile appeared on his face.

He seemed to know who the person who was following Shen Mo was. It's strange that every time he goes to the Marquis Ningyuan's Mansion since he was a child, he can't see this little cousin in the third room. It turned out that the Shen family had hidden such a national color. No wonder after the accident, Ji Wusheng didn't think about tea and rice like this.

The fourth prince turned the jasper carved dragon wrench on his finger, pursed his lips and smiled, "You are mistaken, the prince is afraid that he is being tested by his father in the imperial study at this time." With that, he turned and paced out the door.

The blue-robed young man followed closely and followed quickly. After the four princes returned to the palace, they mentioned this matter to the six princes. The sixth prince was quite sorry and said, "Since the fourth brother knows that it is the crown prince, why don't you go up?" My father has issued his grounding order and is not allowed to leave the palace, and if he runs out at this time, if he is still accompanied by close ministers and staff, he will not be convicted of rebellion, and his father will be disgusted with him. This is a great opportunity, why did the fourth brother let it go?"
