Chapter 217: Nervousness
"If we are sent out of Beijing, there will be nothing, you promise me, don't go to Your Majesty, okay?"
Her eyes with affection and shame were so beautiful and moving, just by looking at the third prince, he was intoxicated, and as soon as Su Muwan finished speaking, he nodded again and again, and then said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
The queen wasted so many words, and even coercion and temptation could not make the third prince change his mind, but as long as Su Muwan said a word, he would agree willingly without a trace of hesitation.
Queen Chen, who was watching this scene, looked annoyed, but she was helpless.
There's no way, her son just likes Su Muwan so much, what can she do?
In the end, Su Muwan did not move out of the main courtyard, and still lived in the courtyard when she married the third prince, and the third prince ordered that no one in the house was allowed to call Su Muwan a side concubine, and the first maid to shout so was slapped three times by him on the spot, knocking out two teeth, the third prince looked at all the shocked subordinates inside and outside the house, and said word by word: "No matter what the people outside say, in the eyes of this palace, Wan'er is the princess of this palace!" If anyone dares to be disrespectful to the princess, or call her a side concubine again, then immediately hit the twenty boards and drive her out of the house! I don't need disobedient subordinates here! ”
"Yes, Your Highness." The crowd replied with trembling voices.
Su Muwan leaned on the chest of the second prince and watched this scene quietly, with an imperceptible smile on her lips.
Since then, her position in the Three Princes' Mansion has been as stable as before, and no one can shake it anymore.
However, in the palace, Empress Chen has begun to invite many officials and relatives in Beijing to the palace with great fanfare, most of whom are unmarried girls, and they are all noble, and the flower-viewing banquet that has been delayed again and again has finally been held a month in advance. On the first day of the next month, it's not a few days away.
Shen Nianzhen also received an invitation letter.
Looking at the bronzing poster, she had a headache: "Can you think of a way to push this thing away?" I really don't want to go to the palace. ”
"It's okay if others don't go, but you can't." Shen Yunlan said in a cold tone on the side: "Because you shined in the Heart Cultivation Hall a few days ago, Your Majesty appreciates it very much, so I specially mentioned to the queen mother, I must invite you to participate in the flower appreciation banquet, you can't escape." ”
"Huh?" Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but wail when he heard this.
She really didn't want to go!
"Have you gone to visit the second prince today?" Shen Yunlan suddenly asked.
"Not yet." Shen Nianzhen replied in a muffled voice.
"But today is the first day for His Royal Highness to practice walking, why don't you go and see him and encourage him?" Shen Yunlan glanced at her, and said in a cool tone: "When the second prince is in danger, you are in a hurry, you have to enter the palace at any cost, you are obviously afraid of death in your heart, but you still muster up the courage to defend him in front of Your Majesty, and now that you are fine, you stay at home all day and don't go to see him?" Aren't you afraid that he will be taken advantage of by other women? It is said that men do this when they are weak. ”
Yes, it has been three days since he came back from the palace, and Shen Nianzhen has not visited Rong Chen for a day.
I don't know what's going on in her mind.
"I ......" Shen Nianzhen raised his eyes and glanced at him when he heard this, and suddenly sighed: "There are some things in my heart that I haven't thought clearly, so I won't visit him first." ”
After saying that, he stood up and took the last piece of wishful cake from the plate.
Shen Yunlan suddenly screamed: "Hey! This is the pastry that Xiuyan made for me herself, and there is only one piece left! Leave me a little! ”
Shen Nianzhen grimaced at him when he heard this, then stuffed the pastry into his mouth in one bite, and ate it very provocatively in front of Shen Yunlan.
Shen Yunlan looked at her triumphant look, and for some reason, he suddenly wanted to laugh.
In my heart, I am full of emotion, so many things have happened, my sister is still the same sister as before, she is still the same lively and active, and she likes to make faces.
However, this is obviously different from before.
……
In the second prince's mansion.
Rong Chen looked at the large number of dazzling supplements, as well as the various delicacies and desserts brought by the palace people, waved his hand a little speechlessly, and said in a faint voice: "Put these things down, you can go." ”
When the words fell, his eyes suddenly fell on the last tray, on which there were several very delicate and beautiful hostas, Rong Chen asked suspiciously: "What is the mother concubine doing with this?" This palace is a man, and you can't use it? ”
"Your Highness, you can't use it, you can give it to Miss Shen!" The female officer replied with a smile.
Rong Chen was stunned when he heard this.
Isn't the mother concubine really hating Nian Zhen lately? Why did you send her something out of your way? Could it be that Shen Nianzhen defended himself in the hall that day, and finally won the heart of the concubine and made her change her mind?
Thinking like this, Rong Chen's expression softened, his eyes glanced at those dazzling things, and then said lightly: "Okay, you go down." ”
"Yes, Your Highness." The round-faced female official led by her immediately smiled when she heard this: "When the slave maid left the palace, Concubine Qi specially explained, saying that these things were all collected by her with great difficulty, please Your Highness must remember to eat more and use more." In this way, it will not be in vain for a piece of Niangniang's heart. ”
Since the events in the hall that day, Concubine Qi has sent people to the mansion almost every day to deliver a lot of things. God is pitiful, Rong Chen is sick! Doctor Ge strictly controls his diet and rest every day, and he has to go through so many miserable exercises, where can he have the time to eat these?
But anyway, it was Concubine Qi's heart, and Rong Chen reluctantly accepted it.
When the palace maids were leaving, Rong Chen suddenly asked, "By the way, that Jing Xue...... Still by the side of the mother? ”、
"Your Highness is asking Miss Jing Xue?"
When the palace maid heard this, she immediately replied with a smile: "It's still there, Concubine Qi trusts her very much, and she is also very capable, Your Highness asks this, is there any command?" ”
"No, you go down." Rong Chen's expression faded in an instant.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The palace maid responded, and when she turned around and was about to retreat, she suddenly looked at Rong Chen again and said: "Your Highness, in fact, you don't have to worry about it at all, Niangniang has already given up the plan to marry Jingxue to His Highness as a side concubine, in fact, during this time, Niangniang has always wanted to ...... Let Jingxue be Your Majesty's woman. ”
"A woman who is the emperor?" Rong Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then sneered.
Ridiculous, ridiculous! A Qinglou Oiran is outrageous enough to be a palace maid who enters the palace as a concubine, and now this Oiran still wants to be the emperor's woman! Her body that has been tasted by a thousand people and slept by ten thousand people is extremely dirty, what qualifications does she have to serve the emperor?
I don't know what the mother thinks!
Rong Chen frowned tightly, looked at the female official when he heard the words, and asked in a deep voice, "What does Jing Xue mean?" Would she like to do the same? ”
"Yes, Your Highness, Miss Jing Xue is also willing, in order to consolidate Niangniang's favor, she is willing to do anything." The female officer replied with a smile.
Rong Chen really didn't want to listen to it, so he waved his hand when he heard the words and said: "This palace knows, don't tell this palace about Jing Xue in the future, okay, you can step down!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness." The palace maid was blessed, and then turned around and retreated.
In the room, only Rong Chen himself was left, facing a lot of things, he was very irritable, and immediately impatiently ordered Dongchen: "Eat a few of you, as for the things, throw them in the warehouse." ”
"Your Highness! These jewelry, but Concubine Qi's heart for Miss Shen! You just threw it in the storeroom? Dongchen looked surprised.
Rong Chen glanced at him suspiciously.
Dongchen immediately shrunk his neck, timidly answered yes, and then picked up the tray and went out.
Rong Chen stayed alone in the room, frowning and not knowing what he was thinking.
Beiyang walked in from outside, looked at him and said, "Your Highness, Doctor Ge said that it's time to exercise." ”
Rong Chen nodded, didn't say anything, just slowly raised his right hand and handed it to Beiyang, and slowly, little by little, he sat up from the chair.
By the time he was done, he was sweating profusely.
Beiyang carefully wiped his sweat for him, and stuffed two crutches under his armpits in a timely manner, Rong Chen took a deep breath, and then used the crutches to raise his feet step by step and walked out.
From the room to the courtyard outside, a short distance, others only need to blink an eye to complete, but by the time Rong Chen walked out, a whole hour had passed, and he himself was so tired that he was about to collapse.
"Your Highness, your recovery is very good, and you have made progress since yesterday." Beiyang said with admiration.
In the face of his praise, Rong Chen was indifferent, just kept moving his crutches and walked out step by step, the warm sunlight shining on his tall body, adding a bit of handsomeness to him.
Doctor Ge Shen walked in lazily from outside with a wine jug in his hand, leaning against a begonia tree in the yard, drinking wine while watching Rong Chen walk, after a while, he suddenly said: "I miss the roast chicken made by the real girl." ”
Rong Chen stopped abruptly and slowly turned his head to look at him.
"What, you don't want to?" Doctor Ge snorted and said lazily: "Didn't you kid do something bad again, annoying Nian Zhen girl, right?" Otherwise, why didn't she come here for the past two days? There was a lot of resentment in his voice.
Rong Chen had nothing to say.
He knew what Shen Nianzhen was struggling with, and he was about to explain it to her, but Shen Nianzhen didn't come, and he suddenly became very timid.
He was so timid that he didn't dare to go to the Shen family to take a look.
"Divine Doctor Ge, what bad things can our Highness do? In the past few days, someone has slandered him for doing bad things, but now it has been clarified. Beiyang smiled awkwardly on the side, and opened his mouth to defend Rong Chen: "It's still Miss Shen who clarified it for our Royal Highness, you are old, don't worry about it!" ”
"Humph! Then why didn't she come? Doctor Ge sneered when he heard this, and then said, "If she doesn't come, she just has a pimple in her heart!" This knot can't be solved, and in the future, it will be a big problem. ”
As he spoke, he shook his head and sighed, and then went out again with the flask.
If you can't solve this knot, it will be a big problem in the future......
When Rong Chen heard this, his heart suddenly sank, and he knew that Doctor Ge was trying to remind him of something.
A thought suddenly popped up in my heart: I can't put it off any longer, I have to explain it clearly. Otherwise, he really has a good chance of losing Shen Nianzhen.
Thinking like this, Rong Chen didn't want to delay any longer for a moment, even if he ordered someone to prepare a carriage, he was going to the Shen family.
"Okay! Your Highness! You've finally figured it out! Dongchen said with a smile on the side, before Rong Chen threw a slap in the eyes, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and went out to set up the car.
A quarter of an hour later, Rong Chen got into the carriage and went to Shen's house.
Sitting in the carriage, he suddenly looked down at the robe on his body, stretched out his arm to smell it, and then asked: "When I just came out, I didn't change my clothes, wouldn't it be a little rude for this palace to wear this dress to meet her?" ”
"No, Your Highness, you're thinking too much."
Dongchen smiled and patted his ass on the side: "With the clothes you are wearing today, Your Highness, if you walk on the street, you must not charm the girls of the whole street!" Miss Shen is different from others, but she also likes beauty, and she will definitely sink into His Royal Highness's peerless appearance, so don't worry! ”
"Is this palace really that good? You're not lying, are you? Rong Chen glanced at him coldly, Yagen didn't believe it.
"Really! Your Highness! Dongchen was a little anxious when he heard this: "Haven't you heard a word?" In the eyes of the lover, Miss Shen loves you in her heart, not to mention that you are wearing a robe that you didn't have time to change today, even if you just wear a rag to see her today, she is also full of joy! ”
"You're talking about other women, Shen Nian is really not like that." Rong Chen was very happy at first, but after hearing it, his happy expression faded, and even the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were dyed with a faint sadness.
"Your Highness, Miss Shen is naturally not that vulgar fan." Beiyang explained at the right time on the side: "You said so much, in fact, you are worried that she will not forgive you, rest assured, Your Highness, if Miss Shen refuses to forgive you, she will not go to the palace desperately at that time, and defend Your Highness." ”
"Moreover, Miss Shen is very reluctant to enter the palace."
Beiyang said, couldn't help but smile, and said with some schadenfreude: "Every time she enters the palace, she will encounter bad things, either she is tortured by the queen mother, or she is made rules by Concubine Qi, who has not married a girl to make rules in front of her mother-in-law in advance?" But she was partial and couldn't escape, and in a few days, the queen's flower-viewing banquet, His Majesty asked her to go by name, at this time, she didn't know what it would be like to worry in her heart! ”
When Rong Chen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He turned his head to look at Beiyang and couldn't wait to ask: "So you mean, Nianzhen didn't come to the palace, not because she didn't forgive the palace, but because she was worried about the flower banquet?" ”
"Half and half." Beiyang thought for a while when he heard this, he didn't dare to guarantee this kind of thing! The girl's thoughts, how can he understand the coarse boss who has become a father and has become a parent?
That is to say, Shen Nianzhen may still be angry with him, Rong Chen slowly calmed down, and the happiness was gone, but a faint bitter taste surged in his heart.
He was very distressed, and after seeing Shen Nianzhen later, how would he explain to her what happened that day, and how would he explain to her why he wanted to see Su Muwan.
Although in the Heart Cultivation Hall that day, Shen Nianzhen said that she could understand everything, but those were high-sounding words said in front of everyone, what Shen Nianzhen really thought, Rong Chen couldn't guess at all.
He was scared, scared.
I was afraid that Shen Nianzhen would ignore him, and I was afraid that she would be disheartened and want to withdraw from the marriage, but she must not!
It was easy for him to understand his thoughts, and it was easy for him to let go of Su Muwan and prepare to be with Shen Nianzhen wholeheartedly, if at this time, she was leaving, then he might as well be dead.
So today, the Shen family must go.
Rong Chen took a deep breath, and his eyes gradually revealed a trace of determination.
……
Soon, the Shen family arrived.
When the carriage stopped in front of the door, a small servant had already come up to help tie the horse, and politely stepped forward to say hello, Rong Chen sat in the carriage, and I don't know why I was suddenly nervous in my heart.
He blamed this on the fact that he was about to see Shen Nianzhen, so it was inevitable that he would be nervous.
"His Royal Highness is here, the Shen Mansion is really brilliant!" Just as Shen Yunlan was about to go out, when he saw Rong Chen getting out of the carriage, he stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
When Rong Chen saw his handsome and talented uncle, he couldn't help but show a smile on his lips, pushed the wheelchair forward, looked at Shen Yunlan and said, "Little Commander Shen is going out?" Do you want to go to Zhu's house? ”
"Exactly." Shen Yunlan didn't change his face when he heard this, and his heart didn't beat: "And I also brought my sister's handmade hibiscus cake and mille-feuille cake for Xiuyan to eat." ”
As he spoke, he raised the food box he was carrying in his right hand and shook it a few times in front of Rong Chen.
Rong Chen immediately became jealous.
It seems that Shen Nianzhen is not worried at home! I have the heart to make pastries, where do I look like I will be worried?
"Commander Xiao Shen, come over here, this palace has something to ask you." Rong Chen beckoned, motioned for Shen Yunlan to come closer, and then leaned into his ear and asked in a low voice, "Your sister is at home...... Have you ever talked about Hongu? ”
"Yes."
Shen Yunlan straightened up, glanced at him with a smile, and said in a cold tone: "Nianzhen asked me, is there a way for His Royal Highness the Second Prince to solve the matter of her not entering the palace to participate in the flower viewing banquet' I told her that she couldn't, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is not a god, how can he even do this with his hands and eyes." ”
"That's all?" Hearing this, Rong Chen asked in disbelief.
"That's it, does Your Highness want to hear anything else?" Shen Yunlan glanced at him suspiciously when he heard this, and then frowned and thought: "But there is really no more." ”
