A group of people are standing under the porch, but the sound of the rain outside is non-stop, the rain is strung into a thin line, falling down finely and densely, and then accumulating at the eaves, and there is a sound on the ground.

The sound of rain in this Buddhist temple is more tranquil than elsewhere, and it originally had the miraculous effect of calming the mind and calming the mind, but it fell on Huo Zongyuan's ears, but it had no effect at all.

He was very anxious in his heart, aggrieved and afraid, and was forced to look at him like Xu Yan, just wanting to escape.

"The events of that day...... It's me who is wrong. Huo Zongyuan bit out a few words from between his teeth, hoping that someone would rush in at this time and break up this embarrassing scene, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, he could only endure the sweat and said in a low voice: "Uncle Duanwang...... It should be punished severely. ”

"Zong Yuan!" The eldest princess Hua Zhen didn't expect her son to be so soft-boned, and she retreated after being slightly intimidated by Xu Yan, and immediately reached out and patted Xu Yan's arm, protected Huo Zongyuan behind her, and said coldly: "It's really wrong to rob the people's daughter, but he was just impulsive, and he didn't hurt the woman's life, why should he be punished so severely?" ”

"Oh?" Xu Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

Looking at the eldest princess Huazhen's understatement and vow not to give up, I'm afraid that Huo Zongyuan made another old mistake and only said half of the day's events, right?

Otherwise, if she knew that Huo Zongyuan had offended Shen Yu that day, she would never have been so aggressive.

It's true to rob a people's girl, but does she know who that people's girl is?

Since Xu Yan had a number in his heart, he was a lot more relieved, "It's okay, since the imperial sister refuses to give up, I won't be rude today, so let him say it himself, whether he should be severely punished." ”

- Robbing a people's daughter is nothing to a noble son like Huo Zongyuan, although he will be blamed, but with the protection of the eldest princess and the queen, he is just reprimanded when he turns the sky upside down, but he robs the princess by force...... That's another story!

Huo Zongyuan only regretted it in his heart at this time, if he knew that Shen Yan was the person on the tip of Xu Yan's heart, he wouldn't dare to borrow ten dares from him! But the big mistake has been made, and he can only hide behind the eldest princess Huazhen, sweating profusely in the cool rainy day.

He still remembers Xu Yan's fierce posture when he flew in, the dagger that Shen Yan almost stabbed him in the neck, and even more remembered Shen Yan's heavy knee-bending, so that he still can't enjoy as much as he wants, and has been ridiculed a lot by his companions.

No matter how mixed the demon king is, there are still things to be afraid of, and the thrill of that day has obviously become a nightmare.

Xu Yan is a famous god of war, a prince who is deeply trusted by Emperor Huiping, and he has arrogant capital. And he, in fact, is just an arrogant and arrogant gentleman, and now that he has already suffered all those hardships, what is the use of pursuing it?

Huo Zongyuan bowed his head and said seriously: "It was me who did that girl that day...... Disrespect. Uncle Duanwang's punishment is not wrong, mother, this matter is over. "After thinking about it, by the way, I will be obedient," the emperor and the queen also blamed me, and in the future, I will be more attentive to my business, and I will no longer cause trouble. ”

The eldest princess Huazhen looked at her son in surprise, full of puzzlement.

Two days ago, he was still complaining that the old injuries on his body had not healed, and he felt a faint pain in his ribs on a cloudy day, complaining that Xu Yan was ruthless, why did he ...... now? Suddenly understood in her heart, she suddenly remembered that her son had inadvertently mentioned Shen Yan's name, and a ridiculous thought suddenly flashed in her heart-

At that time, Huo Zongyuan robbed it, it wouldn't be Shen Yu!

This thought startled the eldest princess Huazhen, and she was a little at a loss for a while.

She always thought that Huo Zongyuan was just an ordinary person, so she was very angry with Xu Yan's ruthlessness, but if Huo Zongyuan touched Shen Yan...... Thinking about her son's lawless behavior on weekdays, Princess Huazhen's confidence suddenly leaked most.

The son had robbed a folk girl before and did it on the spot, and later brought it into the mansion as a low-level concubine, if he almost gave Shen Yu to ...... No wonder Xu Yan is so vicious!

In a sudden turn of thought, the eldest princess Huazhen had already distinguished the benefits and disadvantages.

If this matter continues to make trouble, not only will the Huo family not be able to bargain, but I am afraid that Huo Zongyuan will have to be put in it!

Running out of ideas for a while, the eldest princess Huazhen looked at the eldest princess of Leyang next to her, and her face was very upset.

Fortunately, Xu Yan accepted it when she saw it, and when she saw the change in the attitude of the eldest princess Huazhen, she also took half a step back, "The imperial sister has also heard it, do you still have any questions?" ”

"This kid has learned a lesson, and his temperament has changed a lot, and since he himself has admitted it, I won't say more." The eldest princess of Huazhen insisted on saving face, "It's just that you are an uncle, and you should still leave some sense of proportion in the future." ”

"This is natural, if he doesn't touch my scales, I naturally won't be ruthless."

The two people who were still fighting each other a moment ago suddenly retreated, making the eldest princess of Leyang very puzzled, and said on the side: "Tell me a fair word......

"Leyang, are you still copying the Myoho-renge-kyo there?" The eldest princess Huazhen interrupted her, obviously not wanting to entangle her anymore, "If it's convenient, let's go to the Jingshe to copy the scriptures together?" ”

"......" The eldest princess of Leyang was surprised for a while, but she still smiled and said, "It's okay." ”

The two groups of people walked away, leaving Shen Yu standing there dumbfounded.

That's it? She hasn't understood this momentary turn!

The rain was still raining, Xu Yan glanced down at Shen Yan, the heaviness on his face disappeared, and said, "See?" ”

"I don't understand." Shen Yu admitted it calmly.

Xu Yan took her hand and walked slowly along the verandah, looking at the fine rain in the air, and the red and green cold underneath. The chanting of the monk's afternoon class sounded in the main hall, and he squeezed the weak and boneless hand, his heart was full of softness, "Huo Zongyuan didn't tell the truth, the eldest princess didn't know that he was disrespectful to you, so she was aggressive, thinking that I was acting too much." ”

"Then how did she ...... later" Shen Yan tilted her head and changed a more euphemistic word, "Take a step back?" ”

"She understands Huo Zongyuan and my personality and can guess it, so she doesn't dare to pursue it."

Shen Yu can figure this out, but there is another point-"But I see that she seems to be a little unhappy when she finally talks to the eldest princess of Leyang?" Isn't the eldest princess of Leyang talking to her? ”

"She's not helping, she's provoking." Xu Yan sneered, "The imperial sister may have believed her at first, but she should be able to understand it later." If I hadn't asked Huo Zongyuan to make it clear on the spot, the provocation of the eldest princess of Leyang, I'm afraid my grudge with the Huo family would have been even deeper. Although the imperial sister doesn't like it, she definitely doesn't want to be used as a sword. ”

Saying this, Shen Yu finally understood, put it on Xu Yan's chest, raised her head and smiled, "It seems that even if His Royal Highness is not on good terms with the Huo family, he still likes the eldest princess Huazhen more than the eldest princess Leyang." ”

"Although the imperial sister is arrogant and flamboyant, her badness is written outside, and it is clear, unlike the eldest princess of Leyang, there are many distorted thoughts hidden under the mouth of the Buddha."

"Well, Your Highness is so obedient, it seems that I still have to ask for advice in the future." Shen Yu teased.

Xu Yan didn't care that this was in a Buddhist temple, he couldn't help but peck her on the lips, and laughed in a low voice: "You want to ask me for advice, there are more." This sentence was low and ambiguous, Shen Yu instantly remembered that side of the mandarin tent, and couldn't help blushing, and said: "It's not serious!" ”

"Auntie, although I don't want you to get involved in these rights and wrongs, you still have to know clearly, so as not to encounter something one day and your eyes will be black." Xu Yan is colorful.

Shen Yu nodded and said, "I understand the reason, Your Highness can rest assured." ”

- Intuitively, Shen Yan thought that Xu Yan was talking about the eldest princess of Leyang, the noble lady who had a gentle smile and didn't like to put on a show.

After this day, the eldest princess of Leyang and the eldest princess of Huazhen left the two groups, leaving Xu Yan and Shen Yu in the temple, as clean as possible.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Shen Yu avoided the crowd and excitement of the dragon boat race, and according to the previous agreement with Aunt Jiang, she went to Meng's house with Jiang Ling and his wife, the princess of the county and the county lord of Roujia, to visit Mrs. Meng.

After the death of Mrs. Meng, Mrs. Meng's body has always been not very good, and she suffered from a cold during the New Year's Festival, and lingered on the sickbed for two months, and finally became healthy in March and April, which added dizziness and tinnitus.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Yan had nothing to do, so he decided to accompany Shen Yan to Meng's house.

When they arrived at the Meng Mansion, the princess of the county and the mother and daughter of the county lord of Roujia, Aunt Jiang and Jiang Zhen's mother and daughter, as well as Jiang Ling and Han Zheng and his wife, had already arrived, and a group of people sat in the flower hall, and the stars surrounded Mrs. Meng like the moon.

Xu Yan exchanged a few words with Mrs. Meng, and was welcomed into the living room by Meng Yingque, while Shen Yan still listened to people laughing in the flower hall.

Today's Lu family looked very happy, very attentive to ask people to pour tea and serve fruits, flattered by the princess of the county for a while, and asked Jiang Ling's body for a while, and was even more enthusiastic when facing Shen Fei.

Jiang Zhen watched from the side for a long time, and couldn't help but lean into Shen Yan's ear, "What's wrong with the second aunt today?" ”

"I'm curious, too." Shen Yu shook her head. As the princess and concubine, she actually has a very grand guard of honor when she goes out, even if she and Xu Yan don't bring female officials and guards to save trouble, there are more than a dozen people who surround her this time, and they are more decent than the most beautiful princess of the county before.

Could it be that Lu's attitude changed because of this?

Jiang Hao probably thought of this, stuck out her tongue and said, "It's good to be a princess." ”

When the eldest cousin Meng Xin saw it, she couldn't help but sit over with a smile, "Why are you so happy?" ”

"It is said that the smile on the face of the second aunt is warm today, and it can make people's hearts warm, and they can also be happy." Shen Yu smiled, looked at Meng Xin's slightly bulging lower abdomen, and was a little surprised, "Cousin, is this happy?" ”

"It's been five months." Meng Xin smiled sweetly, "The second aunt is really happy today, like the former Tianwen Zhonghou Mansion sent a bunch of things, and her mother also came to visit, very considerate." ”

Oh? Shen Yan found it interesting.

She had vaguely heard earlier that the Lu family was just an unfavored concubine in the Marquis Wenzhong Mansion, so although she was born in the Hou family, she did not dare to be arrogant in the Meng family, probably because she was afraid that her mother's family would not support her. Now that the third lady came to visit in person, the Lu family should naturally be happy.

It's just a good way, why did the third lady suddenly change her attitude?

The doubts were revealed when the Lu family led a girl in, and Shen Yan looked at Lu Roujia and smiled in her heart.
