Chapter 133: Night Market
Sheng Changning listened to Shen Yue's persuasion, and after seeing Kong Ming's lantern, he turned back to the house. Shen Yue said that in Xunyang City, the night market is far more fun than in the daytime.
It's just that not long after Fang returned to the courtyard, Zhang Li came in person.
"Weichen, please princess." Zhang Li bowed, his attitude was no different from last night, but he seemed to be much more respectful.
Sheng Changning sat on the top, glanced over, and saw the expressions of the people below clearly.
Only then did Shen Yue escort Sheng Changning back, and on the way, Bai Lu quietly told him about today's unscrupulous words about Sheng Changning.
But now that he looked at Zhang Li's frightened scene, he still felt that he was not relieved.
"The people in the Zhangcheng Lord's mansion...... It's quite a bit of a temperament. Shen Yue tilted his head slightly, and his tone was careless, "Now she is just a singer, and she has come to the princess presumptuously, and when Zhang Cheng Lord enters Beijing in the future, isn't it ...... Are you going to lose your honor in front of the Emperor? β
Before Zhang Li could say the words he had prepared in his heart, he heard Shen Yue's question, and he was even more frightened, his legs were weak, and he knelt down straight and bowed to the ground.
"Princess, please be clear! Weichen didn't dare to instigate his subordinates and be rude in front of the princess...... "Zhang Li bowed his head, and his heart was exhausted.
"Since it is not the person summoned by the city lord, who is in this city, who dares to use the name of the city lord to confront this palace?"
Sheng Changning did not puncture Zhang Li's evasion, but this morning, she was worthy of Sheng Changqing's name, although she did not have much status in the palace, she was also a royal bloodline.
How can a few women from the countryside be allowed to judge her?
If she was really Sheng Changqing, she might not care much about it, but she wasn't.
She Sheng Changning couldn't bear this kind of trick in front of her eyes, no one in the former palace dared to treat her like this, but she had seen a lot, and now that she saw it again, she naturally hated it.
"This ......" Zhang Li lowered his eyes weakly, he was very panicked in his heart, yesterday he learned that the princess in the capital was out of the palace for a visit, and he was about to arrive in Xunyang City, so he mentioned it slightly.
As a result, he was listened to by Zhu's unsuccessful younger brother, and said that Lord Shen, who came to guard the princess, was going to be wooed, and he said that he would find some beauties......
At that time, he reprimanded him, thinking that he had dispelled such thoughts, but the result was ...... This morning, someone came to report that the maidservants who had gone out from his house to serve the princess had been beaten......
Before he had time to ask the reason, he hurried to the mansion, and now he heard what the Lord Shen said...... He already understood.
In a sudden turn of thought, Zhang Li had already gritted his teeth and relentlessly, and he kowtowed heavily.
"Please princess Mingjian, this fact is Wei Chen...... The tutor has no way, and the younger brother of the courtier's son acted in a daze, and he wanted to call the girls to make the princess laugh, but he didn't want them to dare to lose their sense of proportion in front of the princess...... When Wei Chen returned, he sent them out of the house with a rod. β
Shen Yue raised his eyebrows, he looked at Sheng Changning first, and saw that there was no displeasure on her face, so he nodded at Bai Lu.
Bai Lu stepped forward in a few steps and helped Zhang Li up, "City Lord, please get up." β
"The city lord doesn't need to blame himself like this, since the singers have been punished, I think the city lord will not let the mastermind go because of favoritism, right?"
Sheng Changning lifted her long eyes, her fingertips lightly clasped the table in her hand, her voice was faint, and there was no joy or anger in her tone.
Zhang Li naturally understood the meaning of Sheng Changning's words, and said again and again, "Yes, yes, Weichen will not show favoritism." β
β¦β¦
sent Zhang Li away, but Shen Yue sat down and sighed deeply.
Sheng Changning glanced at him, waved his hand to let Bai Lu and the others go down first, and then asked at the person, "What are you doing with such a sad face?" β
"I'm worried about you." Shen Yue looked back at her aggrievedly, "Bai Lu told me that what those singers said and did today was just a small fault like rudeness. β
He remembered that the former princess of Changning was the most resentful, and when he first saw him offend a few words, he looked for her for a lifetime, only to know that she was the most noble princess of Dachu.
And now, letting go of these people easily, is it because he is afraid that he will be responsible for Sheng Changqing's identity, and his words and deeds will be inappropriate? Or because he didn't know.
"But now, after all, we are not in the capital." Sheng Changning understood what Shen Yue meant, "What's more, I can know that Zhang Li has not lied, this is indeed not his fault, just punish those who have done it, why do you need to make a big move, if you make trouble in the capital, it will not end well......"
"Okay."
Shen Yue reluctantly walked to her side and took Sheng Changning's hand, she has always been like this, she has the arrogance to look down on everything when she is noble, even if she is down now, she can still think about others, and she can easily smooth out her edges and corners.
"I just...... I'm afraid I've wronged you. β
Sheng Changning leaned lightly into his arms, listening to the powerful beating sound in his chest, and her heart seemed to be slowly calming down.
She whispered, "No." With you, I won't be wronged by accompanying me, let alone ...... It's been all these years, and when you're in the palaceβ"
I don't know what I thought, Sheng Changning's words came to an abrupt end, and Shen Yue only thought that she didn't want to mention her past, so she didn't ask any further.
only gently, and hugged the person in his arms a few more points.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Xunyang City, as the most prosperous city in this northern wilderness, although it is not as prosperous as the capital city, when night falls, it still makes Sheng Changning, who has been in Fufeng City for a long time, feel quite lively.
When she came out at night, it was even more night, and no one could find out her identity.
"What's that?"
Sheng Changning can see the rise in those stalls lit with candles, most of the objects sold here are handmade by the people, although they are not famous, but they are chic and interesting.
At this time, she was looking at these sloppy little people, her eyes bright.
Shen Yue walked over with a smile, blocking the crowd around her for her, and when she saw her head hanging low to look, he asked with a smile, "Do you like it?" β
"How so?" Sheng Changning also smiled, she turned around and whispered to Shen Yue, "That scornful puppet is very ugly, but the stall owner just said that it is still made according to the famous sons of the family in the capital, but I have been looking for it for a long time, and I can't find which one is you......"
Hearing the last half of the sentence, Shen Yue's face had already darkened directly.
He looked down and saw that the little dolls on the table were extremely ugly, and they couldn't be judged by their facial features at all.
