Chapter Forty-Eight: Sending Sachets
"If you were the crown prince, would you doubt it?" Shen Mushi straightened his demeanor and asked solemnly.
"Yes. Especially after ascending to the throne, perhaps......... Maybe ........."
Shuangshuang frowned slightly, unable to speak, as if he was scrupling about something.
Finally, under Shen Mushi's encouraging eyes, she exhaled lightly and said softly word by word as if she had made up her mind:
"The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks ......."
"Are you worried about the death of the cunning rabbit and the lackey?" Shen Mushi asked again, staring at Shuangshuang's eyes too deep, and she looked at her all over her body.
"Will you kill them?"
Shuangshuang was worried, and blurted out directly to ask Shen Mushi.
"If you listen to me, maybe not."
In fact, what Shen Mushi thought in his heart was that if the Lu family had self-knowledge and kept their duty as a courtier, they would naturally not get into trouble. If the wolf's ambition dares to go wrong, he will not be soft-hearted, and he will definitely cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
But he won't move now, his foundation is unstable, and he still needs the support of the Lu family.
"You promised me."
There was indeed a hint of anxiety on Shuangshuang's face.
Although she was assured by him, for some reason, she always felt uneasy in her heart, and she was a little uneasy and had to ask clearly.
"Then can you guarantee that your Lu family will always be loyal to the emperor and will never have two hearts?"
Shen Mushi asked with a smile, but there was mockery and suspicion in this smile.
"I can! At least I can guarantee that while I am alive, the Lu family will always be loyal to you. β
Shuangshuang said hurriedly, with a solemnity on his face that did not match her age.
This is the second time Shen Mushi has seen her solemn appearance, the first time is when she said that she is not meticulous when she was in the cave room, and she is also so serious.
"That's not enough."
Shen Mushi's eyes faded.
Lu Shuangshuang is still too naΓ―ve, how can the oath be taken seriously? Allegiance is a sentence on the lips, and people in this world are different, and it is difficult to prevent people with hearts.
"If you don't believe me, then at least I can guarantee that my children will always be loyal to the Son of Heaven of Chu Wei!"
When they saw Shen Mu, their eyes changed, they had long lost their previous smile, and they trembled a little when they spoke with apprehension in their hearts.
"What? Aifei, is this trying to have a baby with me? Shen Mushi raised his eyebrows, grabbed her words and began to tease her.
He is not afraid of the Lu family's chaos.
It's just that Shuangshuang's anxious appearance is very cute, and her heart is distracted, especially when she talks about the children in the future, she thinks about it.
"I didn't say I wanted to ......... with you"
Shuangshuang realized that he was in a hurry, and his cheeks immediately burst into red.
"But I heard it!"
Shen Mushi tore off Shuangshuang's belt and hugged her in his arms.
"You get up....... don't mess around...... Don't ......" both held his strange hand with one hand, and the other hand tightly tugged at the neckline.
Shen Mushi looked down at the charming little face in front of him, and somehow, he suddenly remembered the scene where she had a private meeting with a man in the small pavilion, at that time, her face was also this shy expression, and her heart suddenly became irritable.
"Have you ever had anyone else touch you before? Including your brothers. Shen Mushi asked in a deep voice, with a force in his hand, he raised his chin and forced her to look at herself.
"Ahh Hurt! No ....... no ........"
His jaw was suddenly pinched vigorously, and both of them were in pain, and they hurriedly begged him for mercy.
Shen Mushi grabbed Shuangshuang's hands and put them on his chest, and said to her domineeringly: "You have to remember, you are my crown princess, only I can touch you in this life, remember?" β
"Remember...... Remembered ......."
Shuangshuang nodded obediently, a pair of big eyes were clear and innocent, she didn't know why he said such a thing, but he suddenly became so terrible, no matter what, give in first, don't do it with him, otherwise, it will definitely be herself who suffers.
Shen Mushi didn't know what was wrong with him, he just wanted to be tired of being with her and not going anywhere.
But the hour is really late, if the two of them are late, I am afraid that the queen will use the topic to play again to say how he is the prince, and when he thinks of the queen's soulless appearance, Shen Mushi is disgusted and unbearable.
"I won't tease you, get up."
Shen Mushi finally let go of her, sat up, and gasped slightly.
Whew, both gasping for breath, blushing, propped up and sat up reclined.
Shen Mushi turned his head sideways and saw his red and glamorous lips, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and the whole person leaned on the couch obliquely, like a thousand-year-old fox spirit as enchanting and charming, his eyes were dark again, leaned over and pressed both sides, and kissed deeply.
The two tossed for a while, and at this time, Ning Yi's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Highness, Niangniang, it's time to go, it's time to go, it's too late today......"
Ning Yi and Ning Li had been listening to the movement in the hall, their cheeks were slightly red, and they were guarding the door of the hall motionless.
It is rumored in the palace that the prince favors the frost attendant and sends the princess into the cold palace.
But what I saw with my own eyes today is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince obviously cares for the Crown Princess and cares for him, which is completely contrary to the rumors.
The prince not only loves his mother, but the two are even more reluctant to part for a moment, where is there a shadow of disharmony?
Although there are only a few of them in the Liuyun Palace, the movement of the two is really not small, and it is impossible to pretend to be deaf.
The two masters are you and me, with a lot of affection, she really doesn't want to be that uninteresting person, but the birthday banquet is about to start, there is no way, Ning Yi has to remind softly outside the door.
Shen Mushi stopped, frowned, and said to Shuangshuang with a low smile: "Count yourself lucky, let you go first." β
Both of them were disheveled, their eyes were foggy, and they were ashamed, and their faces were like gorgeous kapok, and they didn't even need to be blush.
Shen Mushi hugged both of them to the dressing table to sort out her clothes for her, and combed her hair a little neatly, and then opened the door to let Ning Yi and Ning Li in.
"Your Highness, please go to the side hall and wait for a while, and the slaves and maids will change their clothes for the mother."
Ning Yi respectfully blessed her body and ordered Ning to leave the cabinet to get her clothes out.
"You don't have to move, just change your clothes here."
Shen Mushi didn't move after speaking, just sat on the soft couch and looked at the few of them.
Ning Yi and Ning Yi understood and stretched out their hands to undress Shuangshuang.
Liuyun Hall has a dressing room specially set up for the crown princess, which is to facilitate the dressing and dressing up of the mother. The prince didn't let them pass, although it was not in accordance with the rules, but the entire East Palace belonged to the prince, whatever he said was what he said, did they have the guts to drive him away?
"Your Highness, are you going to sit here?" Shuangshuang saw him sitting there like a scoundrel and didn't move, blushing, and couldn't help but ask shyly.
"Hmm."
Shen Mushi's voice is a bamboo orchestral bell, quiet, but the tail note drags on for a long time.
"I'm just sitting here." He raised his eyes, and those eyes actually floated out of charm and ambiguity.
How can this man be like this!
Their eyes widened and they lost their temper: "You turned your head." β
"Don't." Shen Mushi was addicted to playing tricks, one hand supported the handle of the soft couch, and waited to see her change clothes with his chin propped up.
I'm not ashamed.
Seeing that they couldn't get rid of him, Shuangshuang turned his head and spat a word, turned around stiffly, and began to change clothes when he carried Shen Mu on his back.
After Ning Yi and Ning Li both changed into palace clothes, they began to touch up her makeup.
Li Chuntang, who was outside the hall, waved his hand and asked Ning Qi to come in and wait for the prince to change his clothes.
After a while, both of them put on the royal costumes of the prince and the crown princess, the purple red robe was tied with a purple and gold belt, and no one in the palace dared to use the golden belt except for the emperor, which symbolized the noble status of the heavenly family and the noble status of the prince.
Ning Yi was holding the golden crown and was about to put it on Shuangshuang's head, when Shen Mushi coughed lightly and said:
"Did you bring your gift?"
For her congratulatory gifts, Shen Mu always remembers.
"Huh? Isn't it after the birthday feast? β
When they both looked at Shen Mu from the bronze mirror, they turned around and returned after the golden crown was put on.
"The luncheon is over. And, I'm afraid I won't have time to see your congratulatory gifts tonight. β
Shen Mushi began to talk nonsense in a serious manner.
"Why aren't you available?"
When they both looked up at Shen Mu, who was a head taller than her, they looked puzzled.
"It's just busy, anyway." Shen Mu was impatient and replied casually.
"Oh......" Although Shuangshuang was puzzled, he didn't ask any more, and told Ning to leave and bring the brocade box.
Ning Li watched Shuangshuang put the spices into the brocade bag, she remembered that it was placed on the table outside, sighed, walked to the main hall in three steps and two steps and took the brocade box.
Shuangshuang carefully took the brocade box from Ning Li's hand, feeling a little uneasy, looking at Shen Mushi's eyes and saying: "Hey, let me tell you first, in fact, when I knew that you were going to hold a birthday banquet, it was a few days before your birthday, I had the heart to prepare a generous gift, but it was too late, I saw you dance the sword very well before, and I originally wanted to give you a sword, but as a result, Yanxi, who went to buy a sword outside the palace, did not return for a long time......... Anyway, you have to promise me that I'll see the gift later, don't be angry. β
Shen Mushi smiled at her shy appearance, and said gently: "Okay, I promise you, I promise not to be angry." β
Shuangshuang listened to his assurance, and then slowly opened the brocade box, revealing the sachet inside. The sachet had already been filled with spices before, and the inner room was warm like spring, and a faint mint fragrance wafted out as soon as the smell dispersed.
Shen Mushi had seen the sachet before, but there was still a hint of surprise between his eyebrows.
The snow is clear, and the fragrance is the same.
He thought that this sachet was embroidered on him, and the sentence above also implied that she disdained to be favored by him, and for this, he also sulked. Unexpectedly, she embroidered it for herself. All of a sudden, there was a mixture of joy and sorrow, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.
Shuangshuang's expression was slightly strange when he looked at Shen Mu, thinking that he was disgusted, and he hurriedly wanted to cover the brocade box:
"Don't you like it? It doesn't matter if you don't like it, I'll prepare another gift, you give me some time, just a little time. β
Shen Mushi had already held Shuangshuang's hands to stop her from closing the brocade box, and said with a light smile: "No, I like it very much, help me tie it." β
Shuangshuang saw that he didn't mind his shabby at all, and kept smiling and asking her to help her tie it, and there was a shallow guilt in his heart, mixed with emotion flowing in his limbs.
