Chapter 460: A Compliment from a Foreign Princess
Shen Yuling lowered her head to fetch water, and a touch of cold disgust flashed on her originally gentle face.
Stinky dog, one day, I'll kill you for meat!
As this thought flashed through her mind, she lifted the bucket and turned to look at Mo, but the expression on her face was innocent and a little scared.
"Maybe it's because Xiaobai is not familiar with me yet."
She looked at Xiaobai with a smile, and her voice was extraordinarily gentle, "It's a good dog, and it's a good dog to be wary of outsiders before it can take care of the home, isn't it, good Xiaobai?"
But Xiaobai didn't pay attention to her, just rubbed Mo's pants, and Mo helplessly squatted down and touched its head and belly, and said to Shen Yuling with a doting expression while touching: "It's, but Youqiu's baby, it's not for the care of the family."
"Hehe, it's so cute, it's normal for my sister to like it so much." Shen Yuling covered her mouth and smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes.
It just so happened that Shen Youqiu also walked in and said to Mo; "Mother, I asked Xiaobai to bring you some fresh cakes, take them out and share them for everyone to eat, these cakes are all made by the imperial chef, the emperor rewarded them, Jing Xing specially brought them, they taste very good."
"Okay."
Mo stood up, picked up the food box that Xiaobai had left in the yard, returned to the kitchen, and refilled the pastries with his own plates.
In the courtyard, Shen Youqiu looked at Shen Yuling at this time.
"Cousin, you've only been here for a few days, you don't have to work so hard, just have a good rest."
"By the way, are you in the habit of living?"
"I'm used to it."
Shen Yuling nodded hurriedly, her expression was cautious, and even with some humble flattery, "I eat well, dress well, sleep well here every day, much better than my previous life, and I don't have to face the ridicule and eyes of others."
There was a cautious joy in her eyes, and apprehension, "I, I love it here, and I'm grateful that you can take me in."
Shen Youqiu kept staring at her, but she didn't see anything wrong, so she smiled and nodded, "It's good that you live happily, and besides, you're not a servant, you don't always have to rush to work, you're still young, it's better to learn more things from you, or learn embroidery from Sister Caiyun."
"yes, I know."
She nodded, and suddenly lowered her eyes, with a hint of sadness and bitterness in her expression, "I will definitely not be able to marry in the future, and I can only learn some skills, otherwise how can I support myself."
Seeing this, Shen Youqiu was suddenly a little embarrassed.
In the final analysis, what happened to Shen Yuling is indeed a bit too cruel for a woman.
Besides, after these few days of observation, she really doesn't seem to have any problems.
"You don't have to think so pessimistic, this is not Fu'an Town, you are here, you can live the same life as everyone else, and it will be fine in the future."
At this time, another person appeared at the door.
"Yes, it will be fine."
Qi Jingxing walked in slowly, handed a golden flower to Shen Youqiu, and stretched out his hand to hold her.
"It's been too busy these days, so it's better to go out for a walk now."
"Okay, let's go." Shen Youqiu looked at the flower in his hand in surprise, "What kind of flower is this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the clue and immediately laughed, "It turned out to be a flower made of yellow leaves, when will you make these again?"
The two laughed and walked away.
Shen Yuling looked at their backs as they walked away, the expression on her face gradually cooled, and her lines became stiff.
At this moment, a white shadow rushed past her feet, and she frowned, and cursed a dead dog in her heart.
As soon as he finished scolding, Xiaobai turned around, and his green pupils exuded a murderous coldness.
It was a cold-blooded horror that only bloodthirsty beasts have.
Shen Yuling felt that her blood was frozen for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses, shook her head, and calmed the turbulent meaning in her heart.
Illusion, is illusion.
That's just a fat dog that eats and is lazy!
The Beizhao envoys stayed in the capital for a few more days, and the two sides finally talked about the contents of the transaction, and in a few days, the emperor would hold a farewell banquet for them.
Daya didn't let Qi Jingxing accompany her anymore, since she became familiar with the capital, she liked to wander around alone, and she specialized in finding all kinds of places that seemed remote, even civilians.
This made the eldest prince who wanted to pretend to meet by chance pounce several times in a row.
On this day, Daya came to the shop where Shen Yuxin struck iron.
She already knew that Qi Jingxing's fiancée was the daughter of the owner of the shop.
When the iron-striking people saw such a strange-looking and beautiful girl standing at the door, they couldn't help but look at it a few more times, and then someone immediately reacted.
"This, isn't this the princess of the Northern Zhao Kingdom?"
"How pretty? Her skin is as white as snow!"
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful when people say you're offended, and you're kicked and dragged to beheaded."
As Daya walked into the blacksmith's workshop, the sweaty men consciously took a few steps back, as if they were afraid that their filth would defile this noble princess from a foreign country, and they only looked at her from a distance, their eyes full of curiosity and reverence.
Because they have all heard that this princess came to provide them with iron for the Great Song.
And iron is all that these blacksmiths rely on to survive!
"Who is Shen Yuxin?"
Daya asked directly.
Shen Yuxin, who was instructing one of his disciples to strike iron, was stunned when he heard the voice, and then noticed that the princess was actually coming, so he hurriedly put down what he was doing, wiped his black hand on his apron, and ran to Daya and knelt down to salute.
"I've seen the princess."
"Get up."
Daya looked at him curiously, "I heard that it was you who were proficient in the art of striking iron, so that you Da Song could see the power of iron, you are a very clever craftsman, no, you are an artist."
Shen Yuxin didn't understand the last word too much, but he also understood that Daya was praising him, and immediately said modestly: "I'm just a craftsman who makes iron, and I studied iron before others, and the princess's praise is too much."
"Not at all."
Daya looked at him with great appreciation, and said in a tone of regret: "It would be great if a talent like you was born in our Beizhao, you will definitely be regarded as the national treasure of our Beizhao Kingdom, but unfortunately, we Beizhao do not have a talent like you."
"Hehe, princess, you must have very good craftsmen there." Shen Yu was heartily happy and laughed happily.
Being so praised by a princess from a foreign country made Shen Yuxin feel excited and proud.
This is not something that ordinary people can do.
