With just one glance, he was stunned.

Although he knew that the little girl was born extremely beautiful, he was inevitably amazed by her.

"Brother, I've been waiting for a long time." Shen Zhiyi bent his lips, and the tassels on the hairpin also shook with the movement.

After coming back to his senses, Shen Silence's face suddenly turned very dark: "When you arrive at the palace, don't smile so much at others." ”

It's too easy for her to attract some hungry wolves with bad intentions.

"Huh?" Shen Zhiyi was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know how to offend him for a while.

Shen Silent ignored her and turned to leave.

Afraid that he would be left behind by him, Shen Zhiyi hurriedly followed.

Out of the mansion.

A little guy hurriedly walked up to her: "Miss, the small sedan chair you usually sit on is broken, and now it's too late to send it for repair." ”

"Wasn't it okay yesterday?" Shen Zhiyi frowned, looking anxious.

The little girl was also very frightened: "Yesterday when the slave checked it was fine, I don't know why, today I saw that the board under the sedan chair was actually opened." ”

The matter has come to this point, and Shen Zhiyi is not good at talking more about this kind of thing.

"Are there any extra sedan chairs in the house?" She asked, turning around.

The little guy shook his head: "No." ”

Jiang Nian, who was standing aside, took her hand.

"Miss, it's almost too late, or you can go with the eldest prince."

Shen Zhiyi hesitated: "No, this is not in accordance with the rules." ”

Besides, Shen Silent has always disliked her, so how could he agree to ride in a sedan chair with her.

"No matter what you and the eldest prince say, they are also brothers and sisters, and he won't disagree." Jiang Nian stretched out his hand and hurriedly pushed his young lady over.

Looking at the luxurious sedan chair in front of him, Shen Zhiyi plucked up his courage and stepped forward: "Brother, can you give me a ride?" ”

The girl's voice was soft, with obvious pleading.

As soon as she finished speaking, an extremely cold voice came from inside.

"Come up."

The two short words made Shen Zhiyi breathe a sigh of relief.

The sedan chair is made of fine sandalwood, the space inside the carriage is not large, and the upholstery on it is made of extremely rare silk.

Out of fear of him, Shen Zhiyi closed his eyes and didn't dare to look directly at the person opposite.

Looking at the girl's cramped appearance, Shen Silent couldn't help but feel a little funny.

So afraid that he dared to take the initiative to ask, it seems that the little girl really cares about this banquet.

The journey to the palace is a long one, about an hour and a half.

Shen Zhiyi, who couldn't stand the loneliness, opened his eyes and secretly looked at the person in front of him.

I have to say that her stepbrother is really good-looking.

The eyebrows are sparse, and the face is like a crown of jade.

The well-defined side face has some nonchalant meaning, and a dark gold python robe is extremely noble.

"Stunned?"

Shen Silent raised his eyebrows and looked at her playfully.

I didn't expect to be caught, Shen Zhiyi's earlobes were red and almost dripping blood: "Brother, I didn't mean to." ”

Her thin white fingers were stirred together, and her heart was beating amazingly.

"What were you thinking?"

Looking at the girl's shy appearance, Shen Silent couldn't help but want to tease her.

Facing his playful gaze, Shen Zhiyi subconsciously said what he thought in his heart: "My brother is too handsome, I wonder which girl you will cheapen in the future." ”

Hearing this, Shen Silence's gaze at her gradually became darker.

"yes, I'm curious too."

His tone was low and meaningful.

……

Royal Garden, hibiscus blossoms.

The bamboo forest by the pool was rustling, and the maids in the palace were shuttling between the banquets in an orderly manner.

The richly dressed harem concubines have their own merits, and they sit in high positions, talking and laughing.

The officials who came from afar also sat down one after another, and the family members behind them greeted each other.

It was the first time Shen Zhiyi had seen such a big scene with his own eyes.

She looked curiously at the scenery around her, and her mouth unconsciously let out an exclamation.

"I didn't expect that Marquis Shen would come over today to join in the fun, it's really strange."

The man in white is holding a folding fan in his hand, and his delicate peach blossom eyes are smiling.

Looking at his handsome face, Shen Silent frowned, and shouted lightly: "Five princes." ”

Pei Chuan glanced at the girl beside Shen Silent with interest.

"Who is this?"

Although he had seen many different colors, none of them were as beautiful as hers.

Such an astonishing appearance can really be called a stunner.

Sensing his aggressive gaze, Shen Zhi quietly blocked in front of Shen Zhiyi: "This is my sister." ”

"It turned out to be Sister Shen." Pei Chuan was polite on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart.

No one in the entire Shangjing knew about Prime Minister Shen's concubine.

This so-called sister is just a wild seed that can't be put on the table.

Shen Silent turned his head and said to the people behind him: "The banquet has not officially started yet, you can go to other places to play first." ”

"Okay."

Knowing that others were disgusting themselves, Shen Zhiyi hung his head and left in a depressed mood.

Most of the people who came to the banquet were some high-ranking officials and nobles and sons of prominent families.

Shen Zhiyi clenched his fists, inexplicably feeling that he was out of place here.

In order not to attract attention, she found a remote corner and sat down, and drank tea boredly.

"The lady sitting on the far side is a young lady from someone's family, she is so good-looking." A girl in a luxurious pink dress couldn't help but speak.

Pei Jingshu, who was surrounded by a group of people, said disdainfully: "Didn't Prime Minister Shen Cheng take a concubine for a second marriage a few years ago? She was the child before the concubine, and she really couldn't get on the stage when she looked cowering. ”

As the eldest princess, as soon as she spoke, everyone naturally agreed.

"How can this kind of person have the face to participate in the palace banquet by the light of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

"Look at her showy appearance, doesn't she just want to catch a golden beetle like her mother."

Seeing that these people were talking energetically, Pei Jingshu put down the teacup in her hand: "A few days ago, I also heard that Miss Shen happened to meet an assassin on the way to Xiangshan Temple, and I don't know how she survived......"

In order to please the eldest princess, Miss Li of the county mansion deliberately raised her voice.

"Maybe people are buying innocence, how many ordinary weak women can escape death from the hands of assassins?"

Pei Jingshu pretended to be annoyed: "Don't talk nonsense, how could Miss Shen do that kind of thing." ”

"If it wasn't for giving someone else's body, she would never have come back alive, besides, if there is a mother, there must be a daughter......"

These words of discussion and humiliation naturally fell into Shen Zhiyi's ears.

Knowing that the identity of this group of people was not something she could afford to provoke, Shen Zhiyi's eyes were sour, and he didn't dare to step forward to refute half a sentence.

Just as she stood up and tried to hide somewhere else, a man suddenly stepped forward and blocked her way.

This person's face was pale, and the dark circles under his eyes were faintly blue, and he looked like he was overindulgent.

"Why is the little beauty here alone, do you want to let my son accompany you well?"
