Chapter 61: Hongu repented
"Hahaha......"
Shen Nianci suddenly laughed wildly, and the tears of laughter covered his face: "Yes, I should be beaten, are you innocent?" I fell into the water in the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei that day, so many young talents are here, any person who saves me is better than you! But you prevented everyone from going into the water, and you jumped into the water to save me, why do you think others don't know? β
"It turns out that the original thing was designed by Lu Shizi himself! He wants to marry the two sisters of the Shen family at the same time! β
The crowd was in an uproar.
looked at Lu Yiming's gaze with disdain.
A child of a family can be regarded as discredited by everyone who is ridiculed like this.
"You! You slut! You are talking nonsense! Lu Yiming's eyes widened angrily, he was so angry that he rushed over without thinking, and wanted to beat Shen Nianci, but Shen Nianzhen took a step forward and stopped: "Lu Shizi, what are you going to do to my sister?" β
Lu Yiming looked at her with the veil, and his expression suddenly became a little trance.
This woman, even if she was rumored to be disfigured, still looked indifferent, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, standing there with a veil, like an epiphany in full bloom, surrounded by a faint smoke, beautiful and reverial.
His mouth was blank open, unable to speak.
"Lu Yiming, you have done all the evil things, and you have a vicious mind, you don't deserve to stand here at all! Look at what you see! Rong Chen pulled Shen Nianzhen to stand behind him, and then stepped forward and kicked Lu Yiming to the ground: "You say! Why are you framing my fiancΓ©e! What's wrong with her! β
Lu Yiming only screamed, but he couldn't speak.
Rong Chen kicked it hard again, and then, he took Shen Nianzhen in his hand and got into his carriage and took her away.
The onlookers pointed at Lu Yiming: "This is called stealing chickens and rice, and you deserve it!" β
Lu Yiming was embarrassed, got up from the ground violently, and then got into his own carriage, asked the coachman to drive, and left as if he had fled.
Only Shen Nianci was left on the street, embarrassed, crying low in despair.
Shen Yunlan watched a good show, watching Rong Chen take away his sister-in-law, and a faint smile was hooked on the corner of his mouth.
When he saw Shen Nianci, the smile instantly turned cold again.
"Fish intestines, go, take the second lady to the carriage and go back to the old lady to dispose of!"
"Yes, young master."
β¦β¦
The carriage drove through the long street, through the crowds, and soon out of the city gates.
In the carriage, Rong Chen looked at Shen Nianzhen, who had been sitting far away from him with his back to him since he got into the car, and couldn't help but hook his lips and smile: "Why, this palace thinks that you should be very satisfied with today's performance." β
"I'm really satisfied, and I'm surprised."
Shen Nianzhen raised his head, looked at him seriously and said, "Today, thank you to His Royal Highness the Second Prince for saving me." β
"It's okay, if it weren't for the concubine of this palace, your face wouldn't be hurt like this." Rong Chen looked at her deeply, and saw that Shen Nianzhen was still sitting so far, and with a stretch of his long arm, he scooped the person into his arms.
Shen Nianzhen's whole body stiffened.
"Your Highness, let me go." She didn't dare to struggle, but said, "Didn't you already give me a letter of resignation?" Are you ...... now? Not my fiancΓ© anymore. β
"Hongu has repented." Rong Chen looked into her eyes and said, "Speaking of which, I want to thank you, if it weren't for you, my father would never have let me out so soon." β
Is this a mistake that saved oneself?
Shen Nianzhen pulled the corners of his mouth and said softly: "Your Highness, you can't go back." β
After saying that, he broke free of his embrace and sat far away again.
"Oh?" Rong Chen was very surprised, squinted his eyes slightly and looked her up and down a few times, and said suspiciously: "Since you have no intention of marrying this palace, why do you take the risk to enter the palace to visit my mother?" I ruined my own face. β
Shen Nianzhen subconsciously reached out and touched his face, but touched the veil in his hand.
"Your Royal Highness, going to visit Concubine Qi Niangniang is to repay His Highness for relieving the siege in front of the Shen family that day, I, Shen Nian, really have kindness and revenge, naturally I am not such an ungrateful person."
In the sound of wheels, the girl's voice exuded a strange calm, pleasant to the ear.
Rong Chen listened to her quietly, and then said expressionlessly: "You said that you are repaying your kindness, that is, as for the marriage contract, ......"
Shen Nianzhen saw that he hadn't said anything more, so he couldn't help but raise his head.
Rong Chen suddenly stretched out his hand and took off the veil on her face with a brush.
Shen Nianzhen immediately felt as if there were fine silver needles piercing her face in all directions, she exclaimed, and reached out to cover her face, but Rong Chen grabbed her wrist.
"Don't move, let Hongu see."
Rong Chen stared at Shen Nianzhen's face for a long time, his eyes were solemn, without a trace of disgust and contempt.
Gradually, Shen Nianzhen's heart quieted down and stopped struggling.
"Your face looks like you've been beaten, and then you have used the wrong medicine to stimulate the injury, so you became like this."
After a while, Rong Chen slowly spoke.
"Isn't Your Highness afraid?" Shen Nianzhen raised his face to look at him, his eyes were shining: "Just now those people wanted to smash my carriage, just because my face was ruined, I was an ugly monster, I originally thought that the first thing His Highness did after the ban was lifted was to tell me to withdraw from the marriage." β
"You are injured because of this palace, how can this palace be the ungrateful person?"
Rong Chen snorted coldly when he heard this, and then looked her up and down: "It's really ugly, and those people are not wrong." β
Shen Nianzhen: "......"
She really wants to hit someone now, what should she do?
"Alright, don't be angry." Rong Chen smiled and said, "Don't say that your injury is only temporary, it can be cured, even if your face really becomes like this, it can't be cured for a lifetime, and this palace will not divorce your wife!" You are still my only princess. β
"Really?" When Shen Nianzhen heard this, his heart was very touched.
"Fake!" Rong Chen snorted coldly: "If your face can't be restored for the rest of your life, this palace will not abolish your position as princess, but you will marry ten or eight beautiful beautiful girls......"
"The prince can marry now."
Shen Nianzhen interrupted him.
Rong Chen looked at her angry face, I don't know why my mood suddenly became very good, when she was grounded a few days ago, the inexplicable frustration and anger, as well as the deep tendency to self-destruct, unknowingly, all disappeared.
It was as if Shen Nian really had some kind of magic, as long as he was with her, he would be happy.
Thinking back to the bits and pieces that happened after the two people met, everything was so beautiful.
"Don't worry! Hongu doesn't have that idea yet. β
As the two of them kept bickering and making fun, time flew by, and before they knew it, Liushui Town had arrived, and along the way, Shen Nianzhen softly instructed the guards who were driving the car, and accurately found the residence of Dr. Ge.
When he was about to get off the carriage, Shen Nianzhen picked up a painting in the carriage, and Rong Chen was a little surprised when he saw it: "What is this?" β
"I copied Master He's peony picture, and I will bribe that Doctor Ge later, first, to visit Concubine Qi in the palace, and second, to treat my face by the way." Shen Nianzhen carefully held the painting.
"You take a fake painting and bribe a real miracle doctor?"
Rong Chen hooked the corners of his mouth, and a sneer appeared on his face.
"Time is tight, where can I find the real thing!" Shen Nianzhen said helplessly: "And Master He's paintings can't be bought without 10,000 taels of gold, and I don't have any money." β
"If you don't have any money, you can tell this palace!" Rong Chen snorted coldly, and then called over his cronies and guards, and ordered in a low voice: "You immediately send a message to Shangjing, and ask Xu Xin to send here the picture of the autumn mountain scenery of He Zong's authentic works hanging in my attic." β
"Is it too late to send it now?" Shen Nianzhen asked.
"Maybe it can be remedied." Rong Chen said, and was about to get off the carriage with his whole clothes, but was stopped by Shen Nianzhen: "Lord Wang, wait!" β
"What's wrong again?"
Shen Nianzhen pursed his lips and looked at him: "This Doctor Ge, in his life, hates to see the sick for the powerful people in the court, and has done a lot of good deeds for the common people all his life, if the prince wants to gain his trust and enter the palace to see the illness for Concubine Qi, he needs to change out of this rich brocade robe, pretend to be an ordinary person and go in with me, so that he can have a few chances of winning." β
"So troublesome?"
When Rong Chen heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, and when he heard this, he said rudely: "Why do you have to do this, this palace has called people to surround this village, and it will be over if you directly invite him to the carriage?" β
"Lord Wang! Do you know what Corporal Lixian is? A man like you, if he inherits the throne, is a tyrant! β
Shen Nianzhen immediately got angry.
"Tyrant?" Rong Chen laughed when he heard this: "Then I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, this palace has never had a chance to be the prince in this life, and the throne is far away like a floating cloud, and it's useless to think about it." β
I don't know why, Shen Nianzhen heard a trace of loneliness from his words.
Born in the royal family, he was not loved by the emperor, and he was suppressed by his brothers, this is the reason why he formed the character of Jianwei and must be repaid, right?
"Lord Wang, if you want to save Concubine Qi's illness and treat my face, we still have to show a little sincerity, you change your clothes quickly, I'll go down and wait for you." Shen Nianzhen slowed down his tone.
After saying that, he got out of the carriage.
Rong Chen sat in the carriage, holding a set of ordinary family sons' robes and hair crowns handed over to him by Shen Nianzhen, obviously these were her brother Shen Yunlan's things, and there was a faint mint fragrance floating in the carriage.
It was the residual smell of Shen Nianzhen's body, and it smelled very good.
Rong Chen closed his eyes slightly.
Outside the carriage, Shen Nianzhen stood by the bridge in Liushui Town, looking at the green scenery around him, recalling the scene of passing by here with hesitation in his previous life, and only felt like a world away.
Those experiences were like a dream.
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Rong Chen's faint voice came: "Let's go." β
Shen Nianzhen turned his head slowly.
She saw Rong Chen change out of his dark green brocade robe embroidered with eight-clawed python patterns, as well as the gold crown on his head, and put on Shen Yunlan's moon-white elegant robe, with a small and delicate jade pendant hanging from his waist, and at his feet, he was standing there quietly, pursing the corners of his mouth angrily.
Shen Nianzhen, who was accustomed to seeing this person's extravagant dress, was a little surprised at first glance by this fresh and refined outfit.
But soon, she praised it: "What a handsome little Langjun, it's really good-looking!" β
As he spoke, he boldly walked over, lightly grabbed the folding fan in Rong Chen's hand, used it to hold his chin, smiled slightly, and said, "Come, give the girl a smile." β
Rong Chen actually grinned obediently.
In an instant, the elegance is peerless.
Shen Nianzhen felt that his little heart seemed to be electrified.
The next moment, the folding fan in her hand suddenly disappeared, Rong Chen pulled it away, grabbed her slender waist, and said narrowly: "Is the girl still satisfied?" β
Shen Nianzhen was at a loss for a moment, and nodded again and again: "Satisfied, satisfied." β
After speaking, he struggled out hard, standing far away, and his eyes were already clear.
Rong Chen's brows frowned involuntarily, and his right hand covered his chest, as if Shen Nianzhen's push just now hurt him.
"What's wrong with you?" Seeing this, Shen Nianzhen hurriedly asked.
"It's okay, it's not too early, let's go see Dr. Ge." Rong Chen said, naturally took her hand, and walked forward: "Is this the direction?" How many are they? β
Shen Nianzhen followed him in a daze, and replied when he heard the words: "The head of the alley, the second house, there is a willow tree at the door." β
Rong Chen nodded, pulled her to the door of the second house, stopped, and stepped forward to knock on the door.
Tuk-tuk.
"Who!" An old voice sounded in the courtyard, but it was very loud.
"Senior, Xiaosheng is here to seek medical treatment." Rong Chen said.
Then I heard footsteps coming from the yard, and after a while, with a creak, the door opened from the inside.
An old man with a strong spirit and a red face was revealed, wearing a black coarse cloth shirt, holding an oily shovel in one hand, standing inside the door and looking at Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen suspiciously: "Who are you looking for?" β
"You're Dr. Ge, aren't you? We're here to get medical treatment. β
Rong Chen opened his mouth and said, after speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Shen Nianzhen, this is what you said about Doctor Ge? Why not at all?
Look at this greasy hand, it's almost the same as saying that it is an old bachelor in the countryside.
Shen Nianzhen was also full of surprise, the old man in front of her was indeed Doctor Ge, but it was far from the person in her memory.
At that time, he had a clean breeze on his sleeves and a fairy wind and bones, and when he heard that she came to ask him to treat the illness of Shen Da Commander who went into battle to kill the enemy, he agreed without saying a word, but when he arrived in Shangjing, Shen Zhong had been seriously injured and died, and Doctor Ge was full of regrets.
In this life, he has become like this.
If it weren't for the person or that person, Shen Nianzhen would have thought that he was going to go to the wrong place.
At this time, I only heard Doctor Ge ask, "You came to seek medical treatment?" Did you bring any silver? β
"Bring it." Shen Nianzhen hurriedly said.
"Then come in." Doctor Ge glanced them up and down, saw that they were not bad, and slowly opened the door to let the two of them in.
The yard is very large, with a faint medicinal fragrance, and is divided into a depression of ridges, all planted with green herbs, some of which are also blooming, and there are bees buzzing and flying by, so that a piece of spring is full of joy.
Seeing this familiar medicine field, Shen Nianzhen finally believed that this was the residence of Doctor Ge, and they were not looking for the wrong place!
"Come in, you can find a place to sit, there is water boiling on the road, and make your own tea."
After bringing people in, Doctor Ge hurried to the stove, beat a few eggs into the bowl, stirred quickly, cleaned the garlic seedlings in his hand, chopped them and threw them into the pot, holding the shovel in his right hand and stir-frying, a strong egg flavor quickly wafted out.
Shen Nianzhen sniffed.
Rong Chen immediately frowned and looked over: "You can't be hungry, right?" β
"Sort of." Shen Nianzhen nodded.
"Let's be hungry first." Rong Chen frowned and said, "Wait a minute, I invited Dr. Ge, go back to Shangjing, and the palace invites you to go to Wangjiang Tower to eat enough!" β
Shen Nianzhen sighed, saw that the kettle on the stove under the corridor was already bubbling, then walked over, took it down, scalded the teapot and bowl used to make tea with boiling water, and then prepared to make tea.
She is very skilled in doing these things, and she doesn't look like a young lady who doesn't know anything at all.
Rong Chen looked at it curiously.
Shen Nianzhen looked left and right, but didn't find the tea, so he put down the kettle, walked into the east room, skillfully found the tea leaves in the drawer, opened it and sniffed it, it was this year's spring tea, the taste was very fresh, so he took it and walked out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out, she ran into Dr. Ge head-on.
Dr. Ge was still holding the greasy shovel in his hand, and his eyes looked at the tea leaves held by Shen Nianzhen in the palm of his hand suspiciously, and asked with a strange expression, "Where did you find it?" β
ββ¦β¦ Just, just find it. Shen Nianzhen replied hesitantly. She forgot that she was here for the first time in her life, and she shouldn't be so familiar with this place!
"Really? Have you been here before? Dr. Ge's face was full of confusion.
"Nope! No! Shen Nianzhen hurriedly denied it.
Rong Chen walked over, and the tall figure brought a hint of oppression: "What's the matter?" β
"It's okay, it's okay." Doctor Ge hurriedly shook his head: "The old man just looks at this girl very kindly, although it is the first time to meet, it seems to be an old friend who has not seen each other for many years, come, you can sit!" If you don't dislike it, how about eating with me? β
Rong Chen was about to refuse, but he heard Shen Nianzhen quickly reply: "Okay! β
After speaking, he smiled and went to make tea with a smile.
Rong Chen was left standing in place with a black face.
Doctor Ge coughed lightly, glanced at Rong Chen, and then looked at Shen Nianzhen, who was busy with his head down, and lowered his voice and asked, "You two, are you brother and sister?" β
"Of course not! She's my wife! Rong Chen immediately retorted.
"So that's the case...... Doctor Ge squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Nianzhen for a moment, and said: "Although she is veiled, the old man can see that this girl's face seems to have been poisoned, she must be extremely ugly, you really don't dislike it?" β
"You're a doctor, not my parent, so you're asking too much, right?" Rong Chen said coldly.
If it weren't for the fact that this person was the doctor they were going to invite, he would have turned his face a long time ago, where would he allow people to be presumptuous in front of him.
"Hehe, my old man has a rule for people to practice medicine, if you don't go to the clinic, you won't see the doctor for dignitaries, and they won't need me as a bad old man, right?" Dr. Ge put a few fried dishes on the stone table in the courtyard, and at the same time quickly filled two bowls of rice, and shouted to Shen Nianzhen: "Girl! Come and eat! β
"Hey!"
Shen Nianzhen responded, wiped his hands and walked over, sat down beside Rong Chen, and saw that there were only two bowls of rice on the table, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Ruoqian, you really don't eat it?" β
Rong Chen was stunned when he heard the word 'Ruoqian', no one had called him like this for a long time.
