Chapter 13: No Home
That night, Shui Shu did not go back.
It was not until noon the next day that she returned in the royal carriage.
Zhang Sheng had been waiting for her at the gate of Huamanlou, and when he saw that she was in the carriage, he hurriedly rushed over and helped Shui Shu to walk down.
"Then the Seventh Lord didn't embarrass you, right?" Zhang Sheng took her hand and asked eagerly. He still knows a little about Li Xuan'an's romantic reputation.
"Nope. Shui Shu smiled back at her.
It's really not, Liao Chenchen also saw it. Yesterday, in addition to picking her up in front of everyone, Li Xuanan really didn't do anything inappropriate. In the Seven Kings' Mansion, it was nothing more than asking Shui Shu to sing a little song for him, playing a few games of chess together, and giving her some jewelry, but Shui Shu didn't accept it. In the end, I invited her to a sumptuous dinner in the house. The rest of the time is to let the maids in the palace serve her well and not let her go back.
Liao Chenchen didn't understand, he thought he was going to rob the people's daughter, what did this prince think?
Next, every three or five times, the seventh prince sent someone to invite Shui Shu to the palace, and every time the reason was not that he missed you or missed this, but that there was really something in general, saying that XX in the house had a birthday, and what good things were in the house, etc., and asked her to help the fun.
Shui Shu can refuse, sometimes she can't be stubborn but Mother Xu, so she goes one or two times. Zhang Sheng was dissatisfied with this at first, but after thinking about the power of the Seventh Prince, and he didn't do anything bad to Shui Shu, he didn't offend if he couldn't offend, so he waited for her to come back in Huamanlou.
Every time Shui Shu went to the palace, Liao Chenchen also followed, she didn't want to go, but she could only see Shui Shu's memories and had to follow.
When Shui Shu went to the palace for the fourth time, the attitude of the seventh prince was a little different from the previous times. There was no gentleness in his eyes, and there was more frivolity and arrogance.
Liao Chenchen looked at Li Xuan'an's face and smiled disdainfully, hehe, the big-tailed wolf finally can't hold it anymore? You are quite patient, and waited for a month before starting.
Li Xuan'an sat in the pavilion by the lake and ate fruit while waiting for Shui Shu to come.
Shui Shu saluted, and Li Xuan'an asked her to sit down and let everyone else retreat. He got up and paced a few steps and sat down next to Shui Shu.
Li Xuan'an held Shui Shu's hand and asked her, "How is this king?"
"Of course the prince is excellent. Shui Shu wanted to break away, but Li Xuanan refused to let go.
"Then why have you been resisting?" Li Xuan'an stared at Shui Shu's bright and charming eyes, quietly waiting for her answer.
Shui Shu didn't dare. The beauties in the prince's mansion are like clouds, so why bother Shui Shu?"
Li Xuan'an's gaze shifted downward, stopping on her lips. His lips were as seductive as a cherry, and he kissed them.
Shui Shu turned her face away and didn't let him kiss her.
"What's so good about Zhang Sheng?" Seeing that Shui Shu didn't answer, he continued: "The left and right are just Shang Shuling's sons, but I am still the prince, and I am much more noble than him in terms of identity." In terms of appearance and wealth, I have been far behind him for a few lifetimes. ”
"No matter how bad Zhang Gongzi is, he treats me well, and in his heart, there will always be only one slave. Shui Shu's tone gradually revealed her dissatisfaction with Li Xuan'an.
Li Xuan'an looked at her and said, "This king can too." ”
Liao Chenchen, who was a spectator on the side, couldn't bear it: "I'm sorry, you're a pervert." Just you?"
Li Xuan'an pinched Shui Shu's chin and forced her to look at herself, "Can he marry you? Does he dare? Let me tell you, even if he marries you as a concubine, he Zhang Sheng will not dare." ”
Shui Shu was completely angry, struggled to resist, got up and stood on the side of the pavilion, looking at the water surface to calm down.
"You are quite sincere to Zhang Sheng. This king will tell you one more thing, the Zhang family's decent days are numbered, you can think about the way out in advance. ”
"This king doesn't mind your past with Zhang Sheng, and is willing to take you as a concubine. ”
"Thank you, Lord Wang. The slave family was frightened and did not dare to climb the prince. After saying this, Shui Shu turned around and left, but Li Xuan'an no longer stopped her.
Li Xuan'an said to her back: "Have you really thought it through? Don't come back and cry and beg me." Hum. ”
Shui Shu returned to her room and slapped the table angrily, and the paper kite hurriedly came in to serve.
"What about Zhang Gongzi?" In the past, Zhang Sheng was with her, but today she is not there, which is really abnormal, Shui Shu is worried that she will affect Zhang Sheng.
"Zhang Gongzi went home. Paper Kite replied.
"Home?" Shui Shu raised her head to look at the paper kite, her eyes rolling, a little puzzled. Zhang Sheng had such a stiff relationship with his father, so he went back?
"Well, girl, about half an hour after you left, a small guy hurriedly broke in and gave Zhang Gongzi a letter. After reading the letter, Zhang Gongzi left with the little girl, saying that there was an urgent matter at home, and the girl didn't have to wait for him today. ”
"Okay, I see, you go down and get busy. ”
Paper Kite poured her a cup of hot tea and withdrew.
Shui Shu put the teacup to her mouth, didn't take a sip and put it down.
She remembered Li Xuan'an's words.
What does it mean that the decent life of the Zhang family has come to an end? Could it be that something happened to the Zhang family?
Shui Shu wanted to go to Zhang Sheng to ask for clarification, but before she could step out of the door, the old bustard stopped her.
Xu's mother blocked the door and said to her: "Daughter, what are you going to do? It doesn't matter if you wander around this flowery building, but you can't get out of this gate on the street." Also, you're going to be dancing today anyway. ”
Shui Shu still didn't follow: "Mom, get out of the way, I have something urgent." ”
Mother Xu said sharply: "Today is a big emergency, and you can't leave." Come on, wait for the lady to freshen up and change clothes. ”
The four girls behind Xu's mother hugged her, helped Shui Shu back to the room, sat her down, untied her clothes, and changed into dance skirts.
Mother Xu walked up to her, picked up a wooden comb, and helped her fix her hair.
"Shui Shu, we are prostitutes, we eat and wear guests. As soon as you send off the old customers, you have to go to welcome new customers to the door, so that you can earn food and clothing to support yourself. Since Zhang Sheng has been here for more than a year, not to mention new customers, even old customers have come less. We're clearly taking a ......."
Shui Shu interrupted her: "Mom, just tell me, which way of the fairy is coming today?"
Mother Xu leaned her face to Shui Shu's ear: "Who else could it be?" It's the Seventh Prince." He has just sent a hundred gold, and a letter from himself, telling you to dance for him tonight. ”
Shui Shu turned her head to look at Mother Xu and said, "Mom, you also know, I promised a long time ago that I would only dance for Zhang Gongzi alone in this life." ”
When the bustard heard this, his face immediately changed. "What do you really promise to do? You're so stupid. It's better to focus on what's in front of you. ”
