Chapter 93: Domineering Maintenance
But who is he? Why is there always a sense of familiarity when you look at it......
Shen Nian was really engrossed, and suddenly there were cheers from downstairs again, and countless people screamed and clapped: "Victory!" Win! The mask boy is better than the second son of Su! β
Shen Nianzhen hurriedly looked at it, the game downstairs had been won or lost, and the bamboo arrows thrown by the masked man were branched into the copper kettle, which was full and almost unloaded, but one of the bamboo arrows thrown by Su Yunmu fell to the ground.
With the cheers of everyone, Su Yunmu's face became ugly for a moment, he glared at the masked man angrily, and said impolitely: "Hey! Why are you wearing a mask? Is it because he is too ugly to dare to show his true face? β
"I wear a mask, I don't want to have too much to do with people like you, Second Prince Su, I am willing to lose the bet, do you want to repay the debt?" The masked man hooked the corners of his mouth wickedly.
"Who said that Ben Gongzi wanted to repay the debt?" Su Yunmu jumped to his feet anxiously, glared at him hatefully, and said unconvinced: "You won!" It's the champion of this year's March three-pitch pot competition, okay! β
After saying this, he turned around sharply and strode out!
The next moment, there was a burst of laughter from upstairs.
The shopkeeper came upstairs and gave everyone the winning bets one by one, and Shen Nianzhen was not surprised to get another five hundred taels of silver - all from the masked man. Together with the previous five hundred taels, there was a total of one thousand taels of silver.
Although the Liao sisters were not as generous as Shen Nianzhen, they won a lot.
After watching the game, everyone left the box satisfied, planning to go downstairs and go home.
In the corridor, Shen Nianzhen and the others met the eldest princess of Zhaoyang, this royal beauty has an outstanding bearing, seeing Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly, and went downstairs without stopping, followed by a group of palace maids and guards behind her, mighty and magnificent.
If it weren't for this princess, she wouldn't have been so unlucky today.
Shen Nian's heart was full of gratitude, and he was looking at it stupidly, when suddenly a beautiful face with willow eyebrows upside down appeared in front of him. Princess Zhaohua crossed her hands on her hips, glared at her viciously, and said angrily: "Shen Nianzhen, you are lucky today, let's see!" β
"Princess Zhaohua, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Nianzhen looked surprised.
Princess Zhaohua glared at her fiercely with an expression that seemed to tear her apart, and was about to open her mouth to scold, when suddenly a shout from Mama Qi came from downstairs: "Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaohua!" Come down quickly, do you want the eldest princess to wait for you alone? β
When Princess Zhaohua heard this, the fierce look on her face disappeared immediately, and the whole person was depressed and wilted, as if she had been beaten, she didn't even look at Shen Nianzhen, and hurriedly turned around and went downstairs to chase the eldest princess.
Shen Nianzhen looked at her back and couldn't help but smile, although this Princess Zhaohua was arrogant and domineering, as soon as she saw the eldest princess, she immediately changed from a fierce tiger to an obedient kitten, which is also interesting.
All things are mutually reinforcing, and sure enough.
Even the fierce Princess Zhaohua has the most feared person.
"Sister Shen, are you okay?" Liao Yulan glanced at Shen Nianzhen with some concern.
"I'm fine." Shen Nianzhen shook his head lightly when he heard this, and involuntarily turned his head to glance at Princess Zhaohua's back.
From Zhaohua's reaction and Mama Qi's following, it can be seen that the scene where she met the masked man in the dressing room just now was designed by Zhaohua.
Otherwise, how to explain Zhaohua's expression? Isn't it like being caught doing something bad?
But at this moment, there was a noise downstairs.
Shen Nianzhen and the others quickened their pace, went down the stairs, and came to the place where the noise was madeβit was the room where Shen Nianzhen had changed clothes before.
Seeing that the door was full of people, Shen Nianzhen suddenly felt that the nerves in his body were a little tense.
If there is no eldest princess to save her, at this moment, the person who is blocked behind that door is herself.
"I'll check it out! What the hell is going on! β
Liao Kanglan, who was impatient, couldn't wait, so she pushed aside the crowd and rushed in, and she was always the most active person to see the excitement.
Shen Nianzhen's expression was very complicated.
But at this moment, Liao Kanglan, who was in the center of the crowd, suddenly let out a scream and shouted angrily: "Look at it!" Get the hell out of here! I don't care about you! β
She waved her arms vigorously and shoved out all the people who were watching the excitement.
Everyone is lively to watch, where are they willing to leave? All of them stood around not far away, waiting to see the excitement.
"You know what? The naked and unconscious girl in that room was the eighth girl of the Liao family! It is said that she is not yet fourteen years old this year, and she is actually born lewd, and she hooks up with men in this public......"
The excited, irrepressible whispers, coupled with the explosive peach-colored news, instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the Wangjiang Tower.
"Miss Liaoba? Liao Shulan? Hasn't she already gotten into the carriage and gone back to Liao's house? How could it be ......"
Shen Nianzhen was taken aback, and when she turned around and saw that Liao Yulan was also exactly the same surprised expression, the two of them were stunned for a moment, and then Liao Yulan quickly stepped forward and pushed those who were watching the excitement: "Get out!" Get the hell out of here! β
As a result, with little effect, not only did the crowd not retreat, but crowded towards this side more and more.
Shen Nianzhen saw Liao Yulan's anxious appearance and was about to step forward to help, but at this moment, the crowd suddenly turned around, stopped talking, and all looked at her.
The huge, noisy Wangjiang Tower, at this moment, suddenly quieted as if a silver needle fell to the ground. The silence was somewhat terrifying.
Shen Nianzhen suddenly felt terrified, and staggered back a step, did they find that this matter was related to themselves?
Just as she was in doubt, there were bursts of unhurried footsteps behind her, approaching her step by step.
Shen Nianzhen quickly turned around.
I saw the tall man in a blue satin shirt and a gilded mask coming upstairs at some point, walking straight towards her step by step.
Shen Nianzhen opened his mouth and looked at him in surprise, but he couldn't speak.
The man walked up to her and stood still.
Then he slowly reached out and took off the mask on his face.
revealed a peerless, beautiful face like a fairy, but who is it not Rong Chen?
"Second prince, why are you?"
For a moment, everyone let out a sound of confusion.
Looking at the familiar phoenix eyes and the red lips that were hooked, Shen Nian was really stunned, he really didn't expect that the person who had just made a big splash downstairs and won Su Yunmu would be Rong Chen, a strange feeling surged from the bottom of his heart, and he rushed out and asked, "Your Highness, how is Concubine Qi's condition?"
She asked strangely, but Rong Chen was not surprised at all, he smiled when he heard the words, and replied: "It's okay, it's just a little thing, it has been solved."
I see.
Shen Nianzhen slowly calmed down, glanced back at the shocked crowd, and slowly spoke: "Your Highness, something happened to the Liao family."
As soon as the words fell, the people who had gathered around to watch the excitement were gone in an instant, as if they had never been here at all.
Rong Chen showed a sarcastic smile on his face, turned his head to look at the box, and said lightly: "If something happens to the Liao family, it has nothing to do with you and me, so it's better not to get involved, let's go, this palace will send you back."
"But ......"
Shen Nianzhen was a little hesitant, she had a good relationship with the sisters of the Liao family, and they went together, but now that something happened to the Liao family, she didn't say hello, turned around and left, wouldn't she be too indifferent?
Just as she was hesitating, Liao Yulan walked out of the box with red circles under her eyes, saluted Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen, and said in a choked voice: "Second Highness, Sister Shen, you go back first, if you are rude, come to the door another day to apologize."
"Sister Yulan, what's going on?" Shen Nianzhen asked worriedly.
Liao Yulan reluctantly smiled at her and said, "It's not a big deal." β
After saying this, she refused to say more.
Shen Nianzhen knew that the Liao family didn't intend to let themselves interfere in this matter, so he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, you guys be careful." β
After speaking, he went downstairs with Rong Chen.
Shen Nianzhu and Picturesque followed silently.
The group went out of Wangjiang Tower, got into a carriage and went back to the Grand Commander's Mansion, on the way, Rong Chen slowly said: "Liao Shulan's matter was done by the palace. β
"What? It's you? β
Shen Nianzhen breathed and looked at Rong Chen in disbelief.
Rong Chen smiled at her, his smile was intoxicating, but the words he said were cold: "Yes, it's this palace, Liao Shulan conspired with Zhaohua to deliberately trick you into that dressing room, and also arranged for Zhao Ziqi, the son of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, to ambush you there, trying to ruin your reputation, how can this palace forgive her?" β
"As soon as the affairs in the palace were dealt with, the palace immediately ordered someone to bring Liao Shulan over, stripped naked and put Zhao Ziqi on the same bed as the unconscious, and told her to taste the fate of her own suffering!"
Rong Chen's eyes flashed with a cold heart.
Shen Nianzhen didn't speak for a long time after listening to it, she was trying to digest the meaning of Rong Chen's words.
It turned out that today's incident was that Liao Shulan and Princess Zhaohua conspired to kill her......
She thought it was one of them, but she didn't expect it......
"Your Highness, how did you know about this?" Shen Nianzhen bit her lip and asked.
Rong Chen glanced at her when he heard this, and said lightly: "Aunt Zhaoyang's behavior today is in the eyes of Aunt Zhaoyang, so naturally she told this palace." β
So that's it!
Shen Nian has no doubts in her heart, if she says that there is, there is one, she doesn't understand, she has no grievances with Liao Shulan, why should she target herself.
Rong Chen seemed to know what she was thinking, and said lightly: "The Liao family once planned to let Liao Shulan marry the palace as a side concubine, but the palace refused. "I see! Shen Nianzhen suddenly realized.
Everything is clear, why Liao Shulan targeted her several times, but it turned out that she wanted to marry Rong Chen as a concubine.
"After this incident, Liao Shulan can only obediently marry that Zhao Ziqi, so that she can stay away from you and me." Rong Chen said slowly, with a look on his face that he had finally thrown away a troublesome matter.
When Shen Nianzhen heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she always felt that something had been ignored by her.
But when you think about it, you don't have the slightest clue.
"Your Highness, you just said that Zhao Ziqi's father is ......" Shen Nianzhen asked.
"The book of the military department." Rong Chen looked at her strangely: "What are you asking for?" β
"Nothing."
Shen Nianzhen smiled at him.
But he secretly exhaled in his heart.
She always remembered that in her previous life, after Shen Nianci married Lu Yiming and became the wife of the prince of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, she made some friends, one of which was the young lady of Shangshu Mansion, surnamed Liao.
In the past, she always thought that the girl from the Liao family who married into Shangshu Mansion was Liao Yulan or Liao Kanglan, but now it seems that that person is Liao Shulan.
It's exactly the same as in the previous life, almost nothing has changed.
It's just that I don't know that the trouble in Wangjiang Tower is so big today, and the paper can't hold the fire, after this Miss Liao Ba gets married, can she still raise her head in her husband's house?
Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly, without any sympathy for Liao Shulan.
Rong Chen has a sentence that is very right, this is self-inflicted, there is no need to sympathize.
"However, Your Highness, after all, the Liao family is related to Your Highness, isn't it a little unkind for you to do this......
Shen Nianzhen asked with some concern.
When Rong Chen heard this, he sneered, stretched out his slender finger like white jade and lightly touched Shen Nianzhen's forehead, and said with a sneer: "The person who should be worried now is the Liao family!" The girl of their family calculates the fiancΓ©e of the palace, does she think that the palace plans to let them go so easily? β
Shen Nianzhen's forehead was a little painful, she hurriedly reached out and grabbed Rong Chen's hand, frowned and said: "Your Highness, don't make trouble, you just said, this matter was designed by Liao Shulan and Princess Zhaohua together, Liao Shulan, you punished, what about Princess Zhaohua?" β
When Rong Chen heard this, his handsome face was suddenly covered with a layer of ice.
Shen Nianzhen suddenly regretted it, and she suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing.
What is the identity of Princess Zhaohua? That's royalty! The Emperor's Palm Pearl! How could she be able to point out and discuss?
Shen Nian really considered whether to apologize, so he listened to Rong Chen speak slowly: "You don't have to worry about this, everything is with Aunt Zhaoyang, and Zhaohua can't please it." β
Yes, there is also the eldest princess of Zhaoyang.
Shen Nianzhen's heart suddenly let go, thinking of the Wangjiang Tower, Princess Zhaohua saw the eldest princess, trembling like a mouse seeing a cat, she couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Rong Chen lowered his head and looked at his hand held by Shen Nianzhen's warm little hand, his eyes were deep.
Shen Nianzhen followed his gaze, only to realize what he had done, and suddenly let go of Rong Chen's hand as if he was being burned.
"How much money did you win today?" Rong Chen didn't care, lazily withdrew his hand, and changed the topic.
"Your Highness, what do you want to do?"
When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he immediately stretched out his hands to cover his chest and his clothes, and stared at Rong Chen vigilantly with his eyes.
"So you've won a lot?" Rong Chen immediately raised his eyebrows, his eyes fell on Shen Nianzhen's thin and flat figure, and said in a cool tone: "This palace is not interested in your same figure, take the silver ticket, and the provincial palace is rough." β
Panel-like figure?
Shen Nianzhen's face suddenly turned red, and he almost couldn't get up in one breath, his two eyes glared at Rong Chen viciously, and he almost pounced on him and scratched him.
Is that how you describe a beautiful woman? Is there one? Yes!
"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Rong Chen saw the small flame burning in Shen Nianzhen's eyes, and immediately stretched out his hand with a smile, took her whole person into his arms, and comforted: "No matter what kind of figure you have, in the heart of this palace, you are the most beautiful." β
Shen Nianzhen stiffened slightly, and was about to push him away, but suddenly felt that Rong Chen, who was holding her, was trembling slightly.
"This palace just went out for a while, and you were almost calculated, you said that you are like this, how can you leave this palace! And how to reassure Hongu! β
Is he worried about himself?
Shen Nianzhen opened his mouth slightly, but he couldn't make a sound.
A special feeling welled up in my heart......
"This dagger is for you, keep it for self-defense." With a cold palm, Rong Chen stuffed a small and delicate dagger into Shen Nianzhen's hand, slowly let go of her, looked directly into her eyes, and said word by word: "Next time, if anyone dares to calculate you, no matter who she is, you will take the dagger and stab it!" If something happens, this palace will support you! β
"Your Highness, what you said is too scary." Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but smile when he heard this, but his heart was full of emotion.
"Hongu is serious!" Rong Chen roared.
"Alright, alright, I know." Shen Nianzhen took the dagger, reached out and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and joked with a smile: "Including Princess Zhaohua?" β
When Rong Chen heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, and he was thinking seriously.
Shen Nianzhen was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, she is a princess after all, I can't afford to hide from her, in the future, stay away from her." β
The consequences of stabbing the princess are unbearable for anyone in the world.
"If Zhaohua calculates you and hurts you, you can naturally defend yourself with a dagger." Rong Chen slowly spoke, looked at her and said seriously: "But this palace wants to remind you that Zhaohua is actually not a bad person, but he is too arrogant and has no backbone, and he is easy to be bewitched." β
"What does Your Highness mean that someone is using Princess Zhaohua to attack me this time?" Shen Nianzhen's eyes suddenly lit up.
Rong Chen didn't expect her to be so smart, and she suddenly came to her senses, nodded slightly embarrassed when she heard the words, and said, "Yes, so in the future, you must be more careful, no matter where you go, you must bring more people with you." β
Shen Nian nodded absentmindedly, thinking in his heart who was the person who was bewitching Zhaohua behind his back.
Just as he was thinking, the carriage shook slightly, and then stopped, and then the voice of the south wind sounded outside: "Your Highness, the Grand Commander's Mansion has arrived." β
Shen Nianzhen immediately looked at Rong Chen.
saw him nodding at her, and said softly: "Don't think about anything after you go back, sleep well, and when you get up tomorrow, many troubles will disappear." β
Shen Nianzhen hummed, then lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage with the help of the picturesque.
Ruhua went to the Grand Commander's Mansion before her, helped her to walk towards the mansion, and said in a low voice: "The fourth lady has gone back to the East Alley." β
The east alley is where the Shen family now lives.
"Okay." Shen Nianzhen nodded, and when he entered the door, he glanced back, but saw that Rong Chen's carriage had already left.
They entered the house and went all the way to Chunhui Courtyard.
This is the rule, every time Shen Nianzhen comes back, he has to report to Mrs. Shen what he has seen and heard that day.
The courtyard that used to be full of laughter and laughter is silent and quiet today.
