Chapter 29: The Favorite
Zhong Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shen Li coming back, and her tone was worried.
"Where have you been, why have you been so long?"
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Li from head to toe, and only after confirming that she was okay did he put away the nervous look on his face.
Shen Li didn't want her to worry, so she didn't mention the matter of encountering Si Yan, she said vaguely.
"I'm confused."
Zhong Ning took her hand, and his heart palpitated.
"I knew that I would let Xiaoshuang take you there, this palace is no better than the outside, so you have to be careful."
Shen Li took a sip of hot tea, only agreed, and waited for the hot water to pass through the internal organs, and she finally felt relieved.
When she looked up again, Shen Li found that Si Yan was sitting opposite her, and the water in her mouth suddenly became panicked, she endured the discomfort in her throat, and finally swallowed the water before she began to cough.
Shen Li covered his mouth with a handkerchief and tried to keep his voice to a minimum, for fear of attracting the attention of others.
Fortunately, dancing and playing music were playing in the middle of the hall, suppressing Shen Li's voice tightly.
With a strong psychological quality, Shen Li quickly returned to normal.
At the flower-viewing banquet, there were all kinds of blowing, playing and singing, and there was no shortage of versatile nobles who came out to perform the program, Shen Li was very leisurely, only caring about eating, until he ...... She saw Shen Jiao also go up.
Shen Jiao's pipa, to be honest, Shen Li can't appreciate it, it's really not good, it's not as good as the erhu played by the uncle in the park in the past.
Looking at it, Shen Li suddenly felt that something was not quite right with her.
The crimson cheeks, the affectionate eyes, every movement and expression are like a little girl in love, looking at his lover.
Shen Li followed her line of sight, and her heart suddenly chuckled.
What she was looking at was actually Si Yan? These two people don't have any adultery.
Shen Li's brain was running rapidly, and he couldn't help but gasp after thinking about it.
Marriage, it won't be with Shen Jiao.
Shen Li hates Shen Jiao in her heart, pretentious and pretentious, pampered and savage, and her mother is simply printed out of the same mold, the only difference is that she is not as good as her mother's brain.
Si Yan, don't look at him as fierce, but you can see that he should be a good person, otherwise he wouldn't let her go three times or twice.
Shen Li was slandering here, and Shen Jiao over there had already finished playing, and at this moment, Empress Dowager Lu suddenly spoke.
"Mourning family remembers that General Si is not married yet?"
Faced with the Queen Mother's sudden voice, Emperor Zou Yuan and Empress Shi Han seemed to be a little surprised.
Zou Yuan planned to directly block Empress Dowager Lu's words, but because of his identity, he could only use a tone of discussion.
"How can General Si's family affairs bother the queen mother, after a while, I will take care of General Si."
Empress Dowager Lu didn't agree very much, and looked like she was sharing his worries.
"The emperor always says this, but the emperor has a lot of opportunities, how can he have the time to take care of these.
General Si is not too young, and he is a minister of merit to the country, how can the marriage be delayed.
The girls who came today are all good, and the mourning family thinks that today is quite suitable! ”
Zou Yuan's face was a little ugly, he had already rejected the proposal of marriage to Empress Dowager Lu, but he didn't expect her to be so resolute.
On the occasion now, with so many pairs of eyes watching, what Empress Dowager Lu said is also reasonable, if Zou Yuan argues with her again, it seems that he is wrong.
As a party, Si Yan was still focusing on drinking, as if the Queen Mother was not talking about him.
Si Yan's face was indifferent, but he was anxious about Guan Fu behind him.
Guan Fu clenched his fists and scolded angrily in his heart: This old woman is here!
Empress Dowager Lu didn't want to wait any longer, so she asked Si Yan directly.
"General Si has a favorite person, if not, the mourning family thinks that the Shen family girl is good."
