When I returned to Shen's house, it was already close to dusk in the afternoon.

The pomegranate flowers outside the Chunhui courtyard have withered, and small pomegranate fruits have emerged on the branches, and when Shen Nianzhen passed by, he stopped and watched for a moment, and then went into the courtyard with a smile on his face.

Mrs. Su had indeed left, and in the upper room, only Mrs. Shen was sitting alone at the table holding a teacup in a daze.

Shen Nianzhen glanced at the picturesque who was standing at the door with a curtain, and saw that she nodded lightly to herself, and knew in her heart that there was no mess today, so she immediately entered the house with a smile, took out the two pairs of shoes and socks that Ding made for Mrs. Shen herself, and handed them to the old lady.

"Grandmother, look, this is the shoe that the third aunt made for you a few days ago."

Old Mrs. Shen put down the teacup and glanced at it, the smile on her face was very faint, she didn't reach out to take it, but said calmly: "She has a heart, but now that she is doing confinement, what is she doing with that effort?" It's not that there is no needlework room in the house, so she told her not to do it again in the future. ”

"Grandmother, it's different." Shen Nianzhen smiled and said, "After all, this is the third aunt's heart!" By the way, grandmother, in three days, it will be the full moon of the fifth sister, and when the time comes, will the third banquet be held in our courtyard, or where is the third uncle? ”

"Who said there was going to be a banquet?" When Mrs. Shen heard this, her face suddenly turned cold, she glanced at Shen Nianzhen, and said angrily: "Did the third daughter-in-law tell you?" ”

"Grandmother, what's the matter with Aunt Guan?" Shen Nianzhen said helplessly when she heard this: "It's me who calculated that the day should have come, so I came to ask you, to be honest, I asked the third aunt today, and she said that because she was a girl, she wouldn't do it, but I think that although the fifth sister is a girl, she is also a baby born in our family, how can she not hold a full moon banquet?" ”

When Old Lady Shen heard this, her expression softened, but she still snorted coldly: "A girl, not a boy, what do you do with so many things?" Our family has just experienced a wedding, and so many things have happened, and it is time to catch our breath, and we don't have so much energy to hold a full moon banquet. ”

Shen Nian really replied, and didn't say anything to disobey the old lady, because she could see that the old lady Shen was in a bad mood.

It seems that this matter will not be easily solved.

Shen Nianzhen sighed slightly.

In the evening, she went to Shen Yunlan and told him about it, and Shen Yunlan couldn't help it: "Grandmother is in a very bad mood now, you tell her that these things can only make her sick urgently, Nian Zhen, I know that you are for the good of the third aunt and for the newborn sister, but grandmother is the person who loves you in the world!" You have to worry about her feelings, too! ”

Was it because she ignored Old Lady Shen's feelings during this time?

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but think thoughtfully when he heard this.

"Don't worry, grandmother will figure it out." Shen Yunlan reached out and patted her shoulder and said.

Shen Nianzhen barely showed a smile.

It happened that Shen Yunlan was about to go out, so he asked her: "I have something to ask His Second Highness today, do you want to go with me to see him?" ”

Shen Nianzhen thought of the truth he heard from Su Yunmu's mouth, and immediately nodded when he heard the words: "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

She wronged Rong Chen at the beginning, she always had to apologize to him, and this matter couldn't just pass.

"It's fine."

Shen Yunlan just said it casually, he didn't expect her to agree so happily, he was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a smile appeared on his lips.

It seems that the misunderstanding between his sister-in-law and His Royal Highness has been resolved, and the clouds between the two of them have broken through the sky, and they have returned to their former sweet appearance. That's a good thing.

At the moment, they acted separately, and a quarter of an hour later, Shen Nianzhen changed into the clothes he wore when he went out, led Ruhua together, and went out to the second prince's mansion with Shen Yunlan in the carriage.

Inside the carriage, Shen Nianzhen asked about the situation of the eldest wife of the picturesque Su family coming to the Shen family.

"That Mrs. Su is so arrogant! However, our old lady is not a vegetarian, and Mrs. Nasu, who was scolded in a few words, had nothing to say and was defeated. Picturesque replied with great interest: "In the end, the eldest lady of the Su family had to change her pleading tone, begging our old lady to marry the fourth lady to the second son of Su as a wife. ”

"Of course she was angry." Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly when she heard this, and replied, "With Mrs. Su's eyes above the top, how could she have put the fourth sister in her eyes before?" Now because Su Yunmu's reputation has deteriorated, there is no way but to go to our family to propose marriage, this Mrs. Su was originally unwilling, but she didn't expect our Shen family to not give face! Of course, she couldn't get angry. ”

"yes!" Picturesque nodded again and again: "Miss is so smart!" actually guessed the thoughts of the eldest wife of the Su family clearly. ”

"It's not what I guessed, it was Su Yunmu who told me." Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly when he heard this, and said meaningfully: "Speaking of Mrs. Su, who in this world can understand her better than Su Yunmu?" I'm afraid that there is only the eldest son of the Su family who has just returned to Beijing. ”

"Did Su Yunmu tell you that the eldest wife of the Su family would come to our house?"

Shen Yunlan raised his eyebrows on the side and said, "Why didn't you tell me and grandmother before?" ”

"I didn't find a chance." Shen Nianzhen blinked his eyes when he heard this: "He just told me on the front foot, and his mother came to our house on the back foot, and Su Yunmu had to explain to me that my family would refuse her mother's proposal at least twice!" ”

"Is it a lack of a chance or is it deliberately not to say?" Shen Yunlan glanced at her, but he was not distorted by Shen Nianzhen's words and forgot about his own problems.

"Big brother, don't pursue this trivial matter." Shen Nianzhen snorted, trying to get by.

Shen Yunlan looked at her delicate appearance, but she couldn't bear it, so she didn't ask any more.

The three of them talked and laughed, and the carriage was also fast.

When he was about to arrive at the Second Prince's Mansion, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Shen Nianzhen immediately raised his head: "Why did you stop, you haven't arrived yet." ”

"Back to the eldest lady, the person standing on the street in front of you is His Royal Highness the Second Prince." The coachman replied.

"Second Highness? He's out there? Shen Nianzhen was surprised to reach out and lift the bead curtain, and at a glance he saw that across the busy long street, in front of a brilliant rouge gouache shop, there was a handsome young man with a long body, red lips and white teeth, and the familiar corner of his mouth smiled indifferently, who was not Rong Chen?

He actually stood up! He also walked out of the Prince's Mansion and stood on this street!

Shen Nianzhen was instantly excited.

Rong Chen also saw Shen Nianzhen in the carriage, from his point of view, he could see the girl's pale yellow shoulder skirt, as well as the beautiful apricot eyes that were slightly surprised, Shen Nianzhen was really more and more beautiful.

He immediately smiled at Shen Nianzhen.

That smile eclipsed everything on the long street.

Shen Nianzhen's eyes seemed to have only Rong Chen's smile left.

After a while, she exhaled a breath, stroked her fluttering little liver, and secretly said in her heart: Scourge, scourge! Don't say much else, just the face of the second prince, I made money by marrying him......

What's more, the second prince is still a person who values love and righteousness.

At this time, Rong Chen slowly raised his feet and walked towards the carriage step by step.

And Beiyang, Dongchen and the others just stood aside from afar, and did not step forward to help.

Shen Nianzhen's heart was about to come out of her throat, and at that moment, she was really afraid that Rong Chen would fall.

But no, Rong Chen walked very slowly step by step, but very steadily.

Step by step, he walked to the front of the carriage and stood in front of Shen Nianzhen, without falling, without pain, his eyes were full of joy.

"Nian Zhen, Hongu can walk!"

"See, Your Highness." Shen Yunlan said in a cold tone on the side: "Second Highness, if you want the people on this long street to be fascinated by your handsome face and chic posture, just say it, why do you deliberately walk so slowly...... You see the carriages over there are blocked......"

Shen Nianzhen turned his head to look, didn't he? Horse-drawn carriages were parked on both sides of the road, all of which were forced to stop.

Both sides of the street were full of dense crowds, and everyone looked at Rong Chen in a stunned manner.

I don't know if I was confused by his handsomeness or because he was suddenly able to walk when he got up.

"Why did Commander Xiao Shen say that, it is also possible that everyone stopped because they wanted to see you." Rong Chen replied jokingly, then continued to look at Shen Nianzhen, and said softly, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm going to see you." Shen Yunlan quickly replied on the side: "Come and don't be rude, my sister is going to visit His Highness this time." ”

Shen Nianzhen: "......"

What does it mean to be specialized? She's obviously just by the way, right?

However, when she saw the bright light that appeared in Rong Chen's eyes in an instant, she couldn't help but say nothing, just smiled shyly at Rong Chen.

Rong Chen also smiled, he looked very happy, today is really a day worth celebrating, he can finally throw away the crutches, walk slowly alone, although every step he takes, his knee hurts like a pinprick, but this still can't stop his joy.

Then, he met Shen Nianzhen again, which was simply another surprise today.

"Ahem, Your Highness, this document will be given to you first." Shen Yunlan really can't stand it, these two people only have each other in their eyes as soon as they meet, he is redundant here! He won't be an eyesore anymore, as soon as the things are given, let's go.

Before leaving, he explained to Shen Nianzhen: "That, you go home early in the evening." ”

After saying that, he slipped into the crowd.

Shen Nian really wanted to say anything, but he didn't have time.

Seeing that there were people everywhere, Shen Nianzhen was an unmarried girl after all, her face was slightly red, and she put down the carriage curtain.

Rong Chen asked her to take the carriage back to the house first, and he walked back.

"It's fine." Shen Nianzhen thought about it for a while and agreed.

So, Shen Nianzhen's carriage was in front, slowly heading towards the Second Prince's Mansion, Rong Chen followed behind, his steps were difficult, but he walked very steadily step by step.

"Miss, why don't you let His Royal Highness come up, when will he go when he will go like this?" Ruhua secretly lifted the curtain and glanced back, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Don't you feel sorry for him?" ”

"Picturesque." Shen Nianzhen glanced at her when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Do you think that the Second Prince is really just walking back to the Second Prince's Mansion from this long street?" ”

"Huh? What's the meaning of this? Picturesque asked suspiciously.

"Of course there is." Shen Nianzhen looked at her and smiled slightly, and replied: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince appears in the people of Shangjing like this, which is equivalent to telling the world that his leg injury has been completely healed, and he is no longer a waste in the eyes of some people, he is still the second prince in the past, I don't know what the queen will be angry like because of this." ”

"Oh......" Picturesque nodded thoughtfully, and she didn't know if she really understood what Shen Nianzhen said.

And in the palace, Queen Chen is indeed as Shen Nianzhen said, after hearing that Rong Chen can continue to walk, she angrily smashed the Ruyao teacup at hand, which is a new tea set from the southern country, and there are not many sets in the palace in total......

The palace maids on the side lowered their heads one by one and didn't dare to come out.

The chief manager felt sorry for the teacup, and she didn't dare to say anything, just silently accompanied the queen.

However, Queen Chen smashed the teacup, she scolded angrily: "This Miss Shen is really a good means!" broke the game set by Wan'er with his own strength, and he could also find a doctor to heal Rong Chen's leg! Now, Bing'er of the palace has been reprimanded by His Majesty, but he is back in the limelight! Come on! Passing on the order of the main palace, the main palace no longer wants to see that Ge divine doctor, and wants him to disappear into Shangjing! You won't see the sun tomorrow! ”

"Niangniang, it's only now that you're dealing with it, isn't it too late?" The big palace maid on the side couldn't help but persuade: "What we want to deal with now is His Royal Highness the Second Prince......

"You know what!" Empress Chen's cold gaze swept over, and she said coldly: "Only if you dispose of that old man first, the second prince can dispose of it whenever he wants!" Seeing that at that time, Rong Chen was seriously injured again, and there was no one to save him......"

As he spoke, Sen Sen sneered.

"But...... The slave maid has always heard that Miss Shen worshipped the Nage Divine Doctor as her master and learned a lot of medical skills, will she ......?"

"Humph! It's just a yellow-haired girl! What kind of climate can it become! Queen Chen laughed sarcastically when she heard this: "It's just a few hands and three-legged cats, and I dare to pretend to be the king of the mountain in front of this palace!" Don't worry, this palace has its own time to deal with Shen Nianzhen......"

Before he finished speaking, a terrible scream suddenly came from the inner hall behind him.

Empress Chen's smile disappeared immediately, and she turned her head to look in the direction of the inner hall a few times, her eyes were very complicated, and in the end, she didn't get up, but coldly instructed the palace maid beside her: "Zhaohua has been making trouble to go out for the past two days, you guys will take care of her in the palace!" The wedding is not a few days away, and there can be no more mistakes......"

Princess Zhaohua has been clamoring to withdraw from the marriage since she got married, the queen was ruthless, confined her in her own bedroom, and taught earnestly every day, expecting Princess Zhaohua to forget the past, concentrate on preparing for marriage, and then get married, as a result, Princess Zhaohua had a hunger strike, and today is the third day.

"Niangniang, or, let's give the princess a sip of water! If this continues, the princess's body will be ruined! Hearing this, several palace maids serving Princess Zhaohua immediately knelt down.

"Humph! Is it because Hongu won't give her water to drink? Is it because the main palace won't give her food? It's she who doesn't eat it herself! ”

Empress Chen sneered when she heard this, and then said word by word: "She doesn't want to get married, she wants to use a hunger strike to force the palace, but unfortunately she miscalculated!" Today she is dying in front of this palace! The palace will never ask her to go out of the palace! Absolutely not! ”

"Yes, sissy." Several palace maids all lowered their heads when they heard this, and they didn't dare to come out.

Queen Chen scolded for a while, only to feel that she was very tired, and waved her hand impatiently to tell everyone to retreat, and turned around tiredly and went into the inner hall to visit her daughter.

The inner sanctum was very dark, and the curtains and curtains hung low, cutting off the bright sunlight outside, and only pitch black.

Empress Chen was not surprised at all when she saw such a scene, she walked to the window with her experience and tore open the curtains.

Suddenly light poured into the inner sanctum.

A figure huddled in the corner immediately let out a scream, and then hugged his head tightly with both hands.

When Empress Chen walked in front of the unkempt figure, she really couldn't believe that this would be her peerless and beautiful daughter, Princess Zhaohua.

What is it that tortures this girl like this?

Empress Chen would never admit that it was herself, she thought she was helping her daughter.

"Zhaohua, raise your head." Empress Chen slowly spoke: "You look at the queen mother. ”

Zhaohua ignored her, looked in one direction with two eyes dullly, didn't even look at Queen Chen, and ignored her directly.

Empress Chen was a little furious, grabbed Zhaohua's arm violently, took her hand and said angrily: "How long are you going to do it!" Do you really want your father to take away your princess title and drive you out of Shangjing! You're happy! ”

Princess Zhaohua finally raised her head and glanced at her.

That glance was full of sarcasm.

"Even if a daughter is stripped of her title and demoted to Beijing, it's better than staying in her mother's cage, isn't it?" He sneered as he spoke.

The voice in this empty inner sanctum seemed very desolate and crazy.

When Empress Chen heard this, she was hit hard in her heart.

"Zhaohua, the queen mother is helping you......" Empress Chen's eyes flowed with tears, and she said helplessly: "Who do you like, why do you like Shen Yunlan?" He doesn't love you! He's about to marry the young lady of the Zhu family......"

There was finally a change in Zhaohua's dull eyes.

She said viciously, "So what? As long as I get out, I'll kill her one day! “
