Liu Chunniang nodded, her expression becoming more and more ashamed.

"That's ......" Shen Nian was really thoughtful: "Does your father know about this?" ”

"How can my father know about this!" When Liu Chunniang heard this, her face immediately changed, and she hurriedly advised: "Princess, what I told you is considerate, you can't tell others!" ”

"Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped." Shen Nianzhen immediately agreed, and then looked at her and said curiously: "It's just that you don't tell your father, then when will your dream come true in this relationship?" After all, you still have to get the consent of your parents before the marriage can work......"

When Liu Chunniang heard this, she hung her head lonely.

After a while, he said, "...... Let's leave it at that, I don't know what to do now, to be honest, I don't want to disobey my father, but...... Just marrying Liao Zhongwen like that, I am unwilling. ”

Shen Nianzhen instantly understood what she meant.

This is really a tangled girl, not satisfied with the arrangement of fate, full of resistance.

She changed the subject and asked, "What's ...... What do you like about that child? What does he do? ”

This is a bit like an interrogation, but Liu Chunniang didn't feel offended, after all, if Shen Nian was really polite, she could pretend to compliment a few words and just open the topic, since she asked, it means that she really cares about herself.

Liu Chunniang immediately felt warm in her heart, since the death of her mother, because she was ugly and fat, she rarely received the care of her relatives and elders, and only Shen Nianzhen really regarded her as a friend.

He ...... is a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam. Liu Chunniang said shyly: "I met him half a year ago, at that time, I was ugly, fat, relying on the princess your makeup and beautiful clothes, I barely had some beautiful looks, I met him when I went down the stairs in Wangjiang Tower, he immediately apologized to me, and then I met after coming and going." ”

"And then?" Shen Nianzhen picked up the melon seeds next to him and ate one.

"Later, I often went to Wangjianglou to look for you, but I didn't see you, the princess, but I often met him occasionally." Liu Chunniang said with a shy face: "He is the first man who does not dislike me for being fat and ugly, and he has liked me a long time ago, of course, he also likes my current appearance, and he told me that when he is in high school next spring, he will definitely carry a sedan chair and marry me in a beautiful manner." ”

Her expression was filled with joy.

Shen Nianzhen listened, but felt that this matter was not so simple.

Why is it so much like the story of those infatuated ladies and negative scholars in second-rate painting books?

I can't figure out that scholar just knew Liu Chunniang's identity and deliberately seduced her!

After all, a poor boy who has no relatives in Shangjing here, if he can get the daughter of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War as his wife, then his life can be said to be on a higher level.

However, she wouldn't say these words in front of Liu Chunniang, and said with a smile: "Listening to you say this, he is really a very connotative son, and your encounter is also very beautiful, no wonder you like him." ”

"Actually...... He is the one who encouraged me to come to you today. When Liu Chunniang heard this, she seemed to have received some encouragement, and relaxed a lot at the moment: "I actually don't have much confidence that you will be willing to see me." ”

"Really?" Shen Nianzhen immediately laughed when he heard this, and said jokingly: "In that case, I have to thank him!" If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have come to see me! ”

"How so!" Liu Chunniang was a little anxious when she heard this, and hurriedly explained: "Princess, I naturally want to come to see you, but this is the palace after all...... I, I'm scared in my heart......"

"It's okay." Shen Nianzhen held her hand and said with a smile: "You can come whenever you want, just let someone send a post in advance, I will explain it, and when you come, you will come directly to the door." ”

"Then how embarrassing......" Liu Chunniang became more and more embarrassed when she heard this

She knew that Shen Nianzhen must be very busy at the end of the year, and she shouldn't have come to disturb her, but she had too many things hidden in her heart, and she wanted to talk to someone too much, and this person could only be Shen Nianzhen, so she came cheekily.

Now, when she talks about her heart, she feels much better.

"Here, have a snack." Shen Nianzhen smiled and took a piece of lotus paste cake from the lotus plate on the coffee table, handed it to Liu Chunniang and said, "This is a new pattern in the palace, it tastes very good, you can taste it." “

"Thank you, Princess." Liu Chunniang reached out and took the pastry.

The two chatted for a long time, until the sky was dark and dusk was approaching, Liu Chunniang suddenly realized that it was not early, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Unknowingly, I stayed at this moment, I really deserve death!" Princess, you have a good rest, I'll go back. ”

"What's the hurry, why don't you have dinner with me here, and I'll ask someone to send you back." Ponder the truth.

"No, no, no!" Liu Chunniang waved her hand again and again when she heard this, and said, "I'm here to visit you, and I'm not here to eat!" Besides, the prince will definitely come back to dine with you in the evening, how can I, an outsider, be so blind! I'm leaving! No need to send it! ”

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but smile when he said this.

got up immediately and personally sent Liu Chunniang out of the second door, and finally, at the strong request of the other party, she stopped and watched Liu Chunniang leave.

When he returned to the house, and after sitting down for a while, Ruhua rushed in from outside, squeezing his eyebrows at Shen Nianzhen: "Princess! I saw the scholar in Liu Chunniang's mouth! Sure enough, it's a talent! White as jade, seven feet long, well, dignified, a good young man. ”

As she spoke, she nodded vigorously.

Expressing her appreciation for the scholar.

Shen Nianzhen didn't take that scholar to heart, she always felt that the other party was a vain person who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix, but now when she heard Ruhua say this, she suddenly had a little curiosity, and even beckoned, called Dongchen over, and ordered: "You go, follow the scholar, check his details, if it is really that not a bad and kind person, you have to send it as soon as possible, so as not to harm Chunniang." ”

"Princess, you really care about that Liu Chunniang." Dongchen sighed with emotion when he heard this.

"I just hate villains." Shen Nian gave him a blank look.

Dongchen immediately said: "Princess, your subordinates are wrong, let's investigate!" ”

After saying that, he quickly turned around and retreated.

Shen Nianzhen glanced at the night outside that was getting darker, and then ordered, "Prepare dinner, the prince should come back too." ”

As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of wind-like footsteps outside, and then Rong Chen's figure appeared at the door, with a smile in his voice: "The princess really knows the whereabouts of this palace." ”

Shen Nianzhen raised his head and saw that Rong Chen was wearing a dark green long cloak, with a snow-white brocade robe inside, and a pair of eyes were pitch black and bright, shining under the candlelight.

She immediately smiled: "It's quite early to come back today, and it's a coincidence, take off your cloak and come over to roast the fire." ”

After speaking, he walked over and personally stretched out his hand to untie the cloak for him and handed it to the picturesque on the side.

Rong Chen stretched out his hand and rubbed her soft sideburns, looked down at her expression, and said with a smile: "The princess is in a good mood today, is there something happy happening?" ”

"It's not a happy event, it's just that Chun Niang is a guest today."

Shen Nianzhen sat down at the table, watched Rong Chen roast the fire, and asked with a smile, "How is the situation in the palace today?" ”

"It's still like that." Rong Chen looked tired and didn't want to talk more, his expression was indifferent, let go of the way, and let the maids set the table: "My father's favorite is still the prince, but whenever there is any good thing in the court, I only think about the prince, no, at the end of the year, my father felt uncomfortable, so he asked the prince to go to the festival instead of him." “

This prince is really favored!

Shen Nianzhen was taken aback when she heard this, but she didn't pay much attention to it, she and Rong Chen were both insipid and indifferent, and whoever was favored by the emperor and who couldn't have nothing to do with them had nothing to do with them.

While he was talking, dinner was set, and the maids withdrew.

Shen Nianzhen personally picked up the spoon and filled Rong Chen with a bowl of fragrant chicken soup: "The prince has worked hard, drink some chicken soup to make up for it." ”

Rong Chen took it and drank it dry in one go.

"You slow down, and no one will rob you." Shen Nianzhen glanced at him with disgust, and then took another bowl over, and then sat down to eat by himself.

"You eat too." While Rong Chen drank the soup, he didn't forget to pick up vegetables for her.

The two of them are plain, just like an old couple who have been married for many years, and their words and deeds are full of tacit understanding.

Rong Chen likes this warmth and calmness very much.

After a tiring day, he was able to accompany Shen Nianzhen to eat with him after coming back, and the two of them talked, this was his happiest moment.

After the meal, the maids cleaned up the table, and Shen Nianzhen pulled Rong Chen in front of the window to admire the plum blossoms in the yard.

"It's really open." Rong Chen glanced at it, turned around and said very guiltily: "Nianzhen, I'm sorry, I can't take you to the western suburbs to enjoy the plums." ”

"It's all over, I don't care."

Shen Nianzhen smiled when he heard this, and said: "I heard that many people who have gone to the western suburbs to enjoy the plum blossoms in the past few days have come back sick, and they have cold and diarrhea, and they have been tossing people for a long time, and we are all fine now, this is a blessing." ”

That's the side of her, no matter how bad it is, that she's willing to think about it.

Rong Chen's eyes became more and more gentle when he looked at her.

"By the way, today's princess has an unstable fetus, and almost half of the doctors from the Tai Hospital have been invited." Rong Chen suddenly spoke: "The reason why the people you said about who are sick with Meimei are so sick is probably because they can't get a doctor." ”

This matter is actually related to the crown princess?

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when she heard this, she turned her head to look at Rong Chen, and asked, "Does it matter if the crown princess wants it?" ”

"This king is not clear." Rong Chen replied calmly: "Today, the concubine is a little uncomfortable, I sent someone to ask the imperial doctor but didn't invite it, I just knew, and I didn't inquire carefully." ”

Does this explain that he didn't go out of his way to find out about Su Muwan?

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

However, Su Muwan's fetus was unstable, and she had expected the whole palace to be restless.

Su Muwan is like a child who doesn't grow up, I hope that everyone's eyes in this world are on her, once she doesn't go her way, she will toss to the death, such a person is impossible to understand the difficulties of others.

"Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us." Shen Nianzhen sighed and said, "Tomorrow, I will go into the palace to see my mother's concubine, and take my master Doctor Ge, if my concubine is very sick, with my master's presence, she will definitely be cured." ”

"So, thank you very much, Nianzhen." When Rong Chen heard this, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Shen Nianzhen glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Are you afraid that my biological mother will be angry, and you don't ask the master to enter the palace to diagnose her pulse, so you deliberately told Su Muwan about it, right?" ”

"Sure enough, you can see through it at a glance." Rong Chen said with a wry smile when he heard this.

Shen Nianzhen snorted again.

Rong Chen hurriedly comforted her: "Don't be angry, don't be angry." After visiting my mother in the palace tomorrow, I will take you to live in the hot spring Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing this year, okay? ”

"Hot springs?" Shen Nianzhen was surprised and delighted when he heard this.

"Yes." Rong Chen nodded, and said with a smile: "I have already mentioned this matter to my father, and he agreed, if we leave the mansion again, we will not be blocked." ”

"That's great!" Shen Nianzhen suddenly burst into joy when he heard this.

……、

Early the next morning, Shen Nian really had a sweet breakfast with Rong Chen, and Dongchen came.

"Princess, the news you asked me to inquire about, and my subordinates have inquired."

"What's the situation, you can tell me."

Shen Nianzhen immediately put down his chopsticks and looked at him with a serious expression.

"What the hell is going on?" Rong Chen felt a little curious when he saw her serious appearance.

"Oh, that's right." Dongchen explained briefly, and then said: "The scholar who is good with Chunniang, surnamed Chen, Mingyi, the family is Luoyang Chen, but unfortunately it is a side branch, the family has already declined, to his generation is the only son, has been in Beijing for two years, the second name fell Sun Shan, this person is not good at reading, but good at management, befriending, in the two years of staying in Beijing, I have met countless famous children of Kyoto, no food and money, either go to other people's houses to eat and live, or buy and sell calligraphy and paintings, pour Teng Wenwu, after knowing Miss Liu Chunniang, all food and accommodation rely on Miss Chunniang's private money. ”

"So, in the past half a year, Chunniang has been raising this person for more than half a year?" Shen Nianzhen's tone was very bad.

Originally, she didn't have a good impression of this Chen scholar, but now when she heard Dongchen say this, she was even more disgusted.

"Yes, Princess." Dongchen replied.

"This man is not a good kind." Shen Nianzhen's face was ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I must think of something to let Chun Niang see his true face clearly!" I also want to take the Second Prince's Mansion! Ambition is not small! ”

"Want to take the Second Prince's Mansion? What's going on? Rong Chen was a little surprised.

Shen Nianzhen told Chen Shusheng about persuading Liu Chunniang to visit him yesterday, and then said: "Chunniang, she is too simple, she doesn't know that she has been calculated, she and I are sincerely intertwined, and there is nothing bad about it, but this Chen Shusheng is really hateful!" ”

"This person doesn't seem to have appeared out of thin air, but like someone has been pushed out to deal with you and me."

Rong Chen pondered for a moment when he heard this, glanced at Shen Nianzhen, and said: "Nianzhen, promise this palace, don't act rashly, let alone take the initiative to do anything to that scholar Chen Yi, it's the fox that will always show its tail." ”

"But I'm afraid that Chunniang will be hurt......"

"She is not harmed, how can she know the hatred of men?" Rong Chen interrupted her and said in a deep voice: "Nian Zhen, sometimes, other people's roads can only be walked by themselves, no matter how much you worry about, it is useless, but in the end, you may still get fishy, why bother?" Stay at home safely, don't care about anything, this matter will be dealt with by the palace. “

"Then, you should also be gentle, and don't send someone to beat him." Shen Nianzhen hesitated for a moment and said.

Rong Chen smiled all of a sudden: "I thought you would let Bengong beat him out of anger." ”

Shen Nian Zhen also smiled.

The anxiety and anger in my heart faded unconsciously.

After the meal, the two of them got into the carriage, picked up Doctor Ge and went to the palace.

Doctor Ge drank too much wine last night, and the person was still dizzy when he got into the carriage, looking at Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen, who were sitting opposite, and "How come there are two Nianzhen in this carriage?" Haha, that's fun......"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to hold Rong Chen's face and twisted it left and right, and had a lot of fun.

Shen Nianzhen watched this scene dumbfounded, and couldn't help laughing: "Master! He's a prince! I'm here! ”

"Huh? Are you over there? Doctor Ge let go, Rong Chen pushed him away, and sat aside with a dark face.

Doctor Ge didn't care about offending Rong Chen at all, turned his head to look left and right, and after looking at it for a long time, he finally recognized Shen Nianzhen, and smiled: "Your female doll has become a parent, and her complexion is much better!" Looks like you're recuperating a lot these days! The prince is also very good to you! ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Rong Chen said in a muffled voice.

Don't mention how depressed I am.

Shen Nianzhen was very happy, and pulled Doctor Ge and said, "Master, when you enter the palace, I want you to go and see my mother's concubine, I have worked hard for you today." ”

At the mention of this, the smile on Doctor Ge's face faded a little.

However, he still nodded, stretched out his hand and touched his beard and said pretentiously: "It's nothing, since you are a girl who came to invite me personally, my old man naturally wants to give face." ”

This Concubine Qi is no one else, even if she holds a knife on Doctor Ge's neck, he will definitely not go to see her again.

It's that tough!

"Yes, yes, thank you master" Shen Nianzhen said with a smile when he heard this: "Wait until you come out of the palace, I will cook myself and cook a few more dishes you like!" Treat the master! ”

"It's a good feeling!" When Doctor Ge heard this, his little eyes suddenly lit up.

The reason why he is still staying in Shangjing now is because he can eat the dishes that his apprentices honor him from time to time, otherwise he would have been at ease a long time ago.
