Chapter 13: Enemies meet each other and hatred is surging
Shen Ninghua's fingers clenched, and his eyes stared at the man's figure, Baili Jinze! It turned out to be Baili Jinze! She had thought about meeting him again countless times in her heart, but she didn't expect to meet him so soon. Gritting his teeth, Shen Ninghua forced himself to look away, for fear that the hatred in his eyes would not be controllable.
Shen Linghan came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhao Ruyun: "Cousin, are you okay, sister, she didn't say those words on purpose......" As he spoke, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he looked up at Baili Jinze. When he saw his appearance clearly, his cheeks turned red.
His figure is slender and straight, his sideburns are high, his eyebrows are narrow, his lips are slightly pursed into a warm arc, and the whole person is like a pearl standing among the rubble, making it difficult to turn his eyes away when he looks at the past.
Baili Jinze took two steps back slightly, and saw Shen Linghan's beautiful face, and his pupils shrank slightly: "I was rude just now, and the two young ladies were frightened." ”
Zhao Ruyun raised her head, and her face was a little more ashamed: "It's all because I'm in a hurry to be angry." ”
Shen Dong originally invited the Fifth Prince and the Xiao family's righteous son Chu Junyi to a banquet in the front yard, but he didn't want Chu Junyi to suddenly propose to visit the Shen family's garden, so he went out for a walk with him: "Linghan, this is His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, this is the Prince of Chu, don't hurry up and salute." ”
Shen Linghan raised his head slightly, his watery eyes were slightly surprised: "I've seen the Five Princes, I've seen the Prince of Chu, Linghan has just been rude." ”
"Nothing." Baili Jinze said gently, "I just saw Miss Shen and Miss Zhao looking a little anxious, but something happened. ”
Shen Linghan lowered his head slightly when he heard this, his long and thick eyelashes trembled, and then he raised his head with a smile: "It's okay, my sister also said something unintentionally, which made my cousin angry." He said so, but the smile had a pitiful reluctance, which made people involuntarily frown.
Zhao Ruyun glanced at Shen Ninghua coldly: "Hmph, unintentional words? I'm afraid I've learned a lot from the outside and come back, otherwise how could I be so sharp-tongued? ”
Shen Ninghua smiled on her lips, and her dark eyes looked straight at Shen Linghan and Zhao Ruyun: "I just persuaded my cousin twice, and my cousin got angry?" Then I really should accompany my cousin, but it's still the same sentence, if you say too much, you will lose, and your cousin also has to take care of Linghan's sister and mother's face, and my father will naturally take care of some things. ”
Hearing this, Shen Linghan's heart jumped, Zhao Ruyun's words just now were not good, if it was revealed in front of the five princes and Chu Gongzi and others, the Shen family's face would definitely suffer, and his father would inevitably be angry at that time. Thinking of his mother's instructions before, Shen Linghan suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a smile: "It's just a little dispute between our sisters, but it makes the third prince and the prince of Chu see a joke." ”
Baili Jinze nodded gently, and no longer took the conversation. Shen Dong's face also looked much better. However, Chu Junyi looked Shen Ninghua up and down carefully, and sighed secretly in his heart, the sky was dark that night and he didn't see it clearly, and now he found that from the face alone, the first beauty Shen Linghan is less delicate than her, if you add temperament, none of the ladies present can match her.
Zhao Ruyun secretly glanced at Shen Ninghua fiercely, and then looked up at Baili Jinze's handsome face, his eyes lit up slightly:
"Earlier, I heard that the Five Princes are the best at painting, and today we are about to start writing on a whim, I wonder if we are fortunate enough to ask the Five Princes for advice?"
"I don't know if Miss Shen has any paintings?" Chu Junyi shook the folding fan in his hand and suddenly asked.
Hearing Chu Junyi speak, the movements of the five princes who originally wanted to step forward stopped. The Xiao family has a special status in the Da'an Dynasty, although Chu Junyi is the righteous son of the Xiao family, but he also has an extraordinary status, although he is the prince, but he is not favored by the emperor, and he is almost like an invisible person in the palace. In order to cultivate power, he secretly wooed the Xiao family many times, but it was ineffective, so he thought about starting from this Xiao family's righteous son, and at this time, it was naturally as humble as possible.
"Ning Hua is not good at painting, which disappointed Chu Gongzi." Shen Ninghua raised his eyes to meet Chu Junyi's smiling eyes, and the expression on his face remained unchanged.
"My sister just came back not long ago, I didn't expect to know Gongzi Chu?" Shen Linghan said as if unintentionally, which made Shen Dong's expression gloomy, others didn't know him, but they knew that Shen Ninghua had been recuperating in Beizhuang for more than half a year, and the Shen family couldn't tolerate an innocent daughter.
"On the way back, I did have a relationship with Gongzi Chu, didn't the second sister also know Gongzi Chu, is there anything wrong with this?" Shen Ninghua asked a very puzzled rhetorical question, which made Shen Linghan choke suddenly.
"I've heard that Miss Shen is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't know if I have the opportunity to see Miss Shen's paintings?" Baili Jinze looked at Shen Linghan and gently changed the topic.
Shen Linghan bowed his head slightly, and glanced at Baili Jinze gratefully: "Please also ask the fifth prince to correct." ”
Baili Jinze smiled and nodded, and his eyes involuntarily fell on Shen Ninghua. He had also heard of this eldest lady of the Shen family who had just returned, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw it today.
It is rumored in Kyoto that Shen Linghan, the young lady of the Shen family, is the first beauty in Kyoto, and her beauty is unmatched, but now it seems that this Shen Ninghua is not inferior to her at all. Thinking about it, he walked towards the pavilion under the guidance of Shen Linghan and others.
Shen Ninghua lagged behind slightly, slowly hooked the corners of her lips, and the thoughts in her heart flowed, Baili Jinze and Shen Linghan had known each other for a long time, and even the fifth prince had asked to marry Shen Linghan many times. It's a pity that Shen Linghan's heart is very high, her mother is the sister of the queen's mother, her father is the prime minister who holds power, plus she thinks she is invincible in beauty, how can she look at the five princes with such a background.
Therefore, Baili Jinze's proposal to marry her came up with various reasons to refuse, and at the same time showed all kinds of feelings that were unavoidable. made Baili Jinze more and more obsessed with her, and when he was sick and had a high fever later, Zhao gave himself as a gift to Baili Jinze. Later, after she sobered up, Baili Jinze took care of her in every way, and said that she was completely dead to Shen Linghan, so she slowly lowered her guard and planned carefully for him, but it was a pity that the last true feelings were only exchanged for cold-blooded disappointment.
Thinking about it, there should have been an ambiguity between Baili Jinze and Shen Linghan a long time ago, but she never found out.
Chu Junyi shook the folding fan in his hand, and smiled at Shen Ninghua from an angle that everyone didn't see: "Miss, your complexion doesn't look very good today. ”
The curvature of the corners of Shen Ninghua's lips remained unchanged: "Young Master Chu is wrong, I'm very good." ”
Seeing that Shen Ninghua glanced at it and turned his head, he didn't mean to care about himself at all, Chu Junyi was not angry, and shook his fan with an unfathomable expression.
