When Liu Rou brought a box of snacks to the Rose Garden, Shen Mei was sitting on the Liangyu table in the Rose Garden making puppet toys for the little princess.

In the past, she used to use non-woven cloth at school, but Wuguo didn't have this kind of cloth yet, so she had to use cloth instead, which was also fun to make.

She did so attentively that she didn't hear the footsteps until Lotus Heart whispered in her ear.

"Congratulations, sister." When she raised her head, she saw Liu Rou blessing herself, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

She hurriedly got up, stepped forward and held her with both hands, "Sister, get up quickly." ”

"God forbid, my sister not only did not leave the palace, but also served the princess." Liu Rou straightened up and smiled with her eyebrows, "Sister doesn't know, my sister has been worried for a long time." With that, she wiped the corners of her eyes.

Shen Mei saw her red eyes and took her hand with pity, "I'm sorry to worry you." ”

Liu Rou chuckled and shook her head, and handed her the food box, "It's okay if my sister is fine, this is a pastry made for my sister, sister try it." ”

She took it, cleaned up the table, and led Liu Rou into the room.

Liu Rou looked at the house for a week, her expression was full of envy, "My sister's residence is really good." ”

She pulled Liu Rou to sit down and put the food box on the table, "It's okay." ”

Shen Mei opened the food box layer by layer, and the pastries inside were delicate and small, much better than the omelettes she made herself. She picked up a piece of rice cake casually, the small round cake shape was made of glutinous rice inside, and the outside was wrapped in a layer of sugar, much like the bamboo tube zongzi she bought. Put it in your mouth and chew it, it is very sweet.

"This is a rice cake from my hometown, my sister tastes it delicious." Liu Rou handed her a glass of water.

Rice cakes, hometown, it seems that Jiangnan has this in the dim sum. "Are you from Jiangnan?" She took a sip of tea and wiped her mouth with her sleeve.

Liu Rou's smile gradually disappeared, her eyes were sad, she lowered her head and sobbed: "My sister is from Jiangnan. ”

"Jiangnan is far from here." She put down the rice cake and looked at Liu Rou's eyes with a layer of fog, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

I saw her talking about her family by herself, her family is also a big family in Jiangnan, her father has a group of wives and concubines, and her mother is not favored, and now she is elected to the palace in the hope of fighting for her mother.

"Sister, don't cry." Shen Mei took her hand and comforted her softly, "If there is anything in the future, just tell me, I will definitely help you if I can." She waved her hand and called Lotus Heart, took half of the gold rewarded by the queen and brought it to Liu Rou.

"Thank you, sister." Liu Rou got up and suddenly knelt at Shen Mei's feet with a plop, "My sister has no one at home who says intimate words except for her mother, and there is only my sister in this palace." Large tears welled up from her eyes, and she looked up at Shen Mei slightly, her pitiful appearance made her feel distressed.

Shen Mei hurriedly bent down, helped her to the seat, and took out an embroidered handkerchief from her sleeve to gently wipe the wetness of her cheeks for her, "In the future, the two of us sisters will help each other, and we will be able to survive in the palace." ”

She sobbed and nodded, the rouge on her face flushed with tears. "Thank you, sister."

"Don't be so polite." Shen Mei held her cold hand and said softly.

Shen Mei asked people to make a basin of water, saw that she washed her face, and poured her a cup of hot tea, Liu Rou finally stopped crying, and her mood gradually improved.

The two chatted while eating pastries, and Lianxin hurried over and said that the third prince had arrived.

Liu Rou hurriedly got up to greet her, and the man's voice had already sounded at the door, "I didn't expect you to be so lucky." ”

She sat there and glanced at him, and got up unhurriedly, he was wearing a bright and emperor-colored robe today, and his face was even more handsome.

Liu Rou saluted respectfully, her hands still trembling slightly, and she didn't dare to raise her head.

And she walked over slowly, and she also coped with the salute, Mu Qingfeng will not let her do anything this time.

Mu Qingfeng motioned for everyone to get up, walked straight in front of her, a smile squinted in her peach blossom eyes, and stared at her without blinking, "How did you coax the princess." ”

"The prince wants to know?" She met his gaze, a faint smile on her lips.

Mu Qingfeng nodded and took a few steps closer to her, Shen Mei hooked her fingers and motioned for him to come over, and Mu Qingfeng leaned in front of her again and stretched out his ears.

"I'm not going to tell you." She put her mouth to his ear, paused, pretended to be serious, and said it with a smile.

He straightened up, left her lips, frowned, flicked his sleeves behind him, stared at Shen Mei's smiling eyes, and said angrily, "You dare to trick me." ”

Liu Rou's knees weakened, and she walked up to Mu Qingfeng in fear, knelt at his feet, and whispered in a trembling voice: "Prince, my sister didn't mean to offend, and I ask you to forgive me." ”

Mu Qingfeng didn't hear it, and kept staring at Shen Mei, she went over to take Liu Rou's hand, and didn't look at the person opposite, "Sister, what are you doing kneeling, get up." ”

After speaking, she turned around, looked at the man, and raised her head, "Didn't the prince see that the slave and maid had a guest, if you have anything else, just say it." ”

Is this what a slave should say to him? Mu Qingfeng couldn't believe what he heard, he stared at Shen Mei for a long time, frowned and soothed, "This prince has inquired, your name is Shen Mei." He paused, and then moved to her, a faint fragrance of roses lingering on the tip of his nose, "This prince is sure, in the future, the name Shen Mei will be the name of this prince." ”

Shen Mei laughed dryly, "That's not necessarily, the slave doesn't want to marry a selfish villain." After that, she turned around and didn't look at him again, "Lianxin, the third prince is leaving, send it off." ”

Mu Qingfeng looked at her back, crying and laughing, no one said that he was selfish, a palace maid stepped forward to ask him to go out, Mu Qingfeng glanced at her again, he was in a happy mood, he really deserved to be his fancy, there is no palace maid in this palace who is more daring than her, and she will drive out the current prince. He took a relaxed step and left the Rose Garden, this house he had built for the princess was now lived in by her, it seemed that there was nothing impossible in this world, and he suddenly felt that there was nothing impossible for her to be a Zhengfujin.

Shen Mei looked at his leaving figure in confusion, she was so happy to be kicked out, and Liu Rou's voice was next to her ears, "Sister, the prince won't come to trouble you again." ”

"It's okay, if he dares to come, I will dare to drive him away." Shen Mei raised her head slightly in the direction of the door.

Liu Rou stared at her, pursed her lips, a trace of unknown emotion flashed in her eyes, and quickly disappeared into the boundless spring light.
