Are you all after the heroine? I married that female devil
Chapter 723 She Likes People Like Her
Inside the Wanshou Hall.
When they were almost there, Shen Yian used his spiritual sense to scan the situation inside the hall.
The main seat is empty. I don’t know where the old man is going and he hasn’t arrived yet.
Next to the main seat is Queen Murong.
From the main seat downwards, men have single tables on the left and women have single tables on the right.
On the left were only the King of the South China Sea Shen Jinbai and the Seventh Prince Shen Luonian.
It seems that there are only four princes who can be present now: the fifth prince, him, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince Shen Zhou.
As for Prince of Yongchang Shen Xiao and Prince of Guangyang Shen Xun, I heard that they were unable to come due to illness.
These two people never come every year, so it would be abnormal if they came.
Of the old man’s generation, there are only the fifth uncle Shen Lingxiu and the already-arrived Prince of the South China Sea Shen Jinbai.
There were more people on the right side, including Imperial Concubine Yun, several other concubines, and several little princesses such as Shen Luoling.
As for the other two imperial concubines, one was under house arrest and the other was crazy. The former didn't know and the latter definitely couldn't come.
Who knows if Zhao Ningshuang will overturn the table in the middle of her meal.
Shen Yian's comment on this is that it is his own fault and he deserves it.
An Lingyu can still fulfill her duties as a mother and is really good to her second brother Shen Junyan.
Even if Zhao Ningshuang is not crazy, she is a lunatic. She dares to do such a thing as replacing the prince with a cat. She really thinks the old man is a fool.
It was only because Zhao Ningshuang was the fourth brother's biological mother. Without this status, she would have been tortured to death long ago.
Inside the palace, the little princesses were whispering to their mothers, while Murong and the others were silent, and no one knew what they were thinking.
"Sixth brother, sister-in-law, are you nervous?"
Shen Tengfeng rubbed his hands nervously.
"It's just a meal, why are you so nervous?" Shen Yian replied with a smile.
"Alas, I..."
Shen Tengfeng sighed. If it were in the past, it would not matter. But the current situation was special. He always had a bad feeling and felt that something was going to happen.
"Relax, Fifth Brother. The elder brothers are not here. You have to set a good example for us younger brothers and sisters."
Shen Yian patted Shen Tengfeng on the shoulder.
"indeed."
Shen Tengfeng smiled silently. Since his elder brothers were not around, he became the boss.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Tengfeng flicked his sleeves and said with a firm look, "Let's go into the hall."
Inside the Wanshou Hall.
The three figures appeared at the door, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"My son, please see your mother!"
Shen Tengfeng entered the hall first and bowed respectfully to Murong.
Shen Yian led Ye Liyan and followed Shen Tengfeng to simply pay their respects to the Murong family without even opening their mouths.
The old man was not present, and he was only performing the salute to give face to his fifth brother. If he had not met his fifth brother on the road, he would not even look at Murong, let alone perform the salute.
Without waiting for Murong to speak, Shen Yian led Ye Liyan to take a seat.
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Several concubines were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads and carefully covered the mouths of the little princesses with their hands, fearing that the children's careless words would anger either side.
"No gifts."
After a while, Murong's voice finally sounded in the hall.
Shen Tengfeng saw the back of his sixth brother out of the corner of his eye and sighed helplessly.
Shen Jinbai held the teacup and looked at Shen Yian who was walking over with interest. The two of them looked at each other.
"Sixth brother...this is not good..."
As soon as Shen Yian sat down, Shen Luonian leaned towards him slightly and asked in a low voice.
"Ok?"
Shen Yian blinked and asked knowingly, "What's not good?"
Then he turned around with a look of realization, saluted Shen Jinbai and said, "Shen Yian greets the Sixth Uncle."
"I didn't expect you to be the sixth child of my second brother. I have heard a lot about your story."
Shen Jinbai smiled gently.
"Uncle Sixth Prince, you are too kind. It was just luck." Shen Yian smiled modestly.
"Shen Tengfeng has met the Sixth Uncle."
Shen Tengfeng walked over and bowed to Shen Jinbai.
"Hahaha, second brother's children are indeed all good-looking."
Shen Jinbai praised generously.
"Sixth Uncle, you are too kind."
Shen Tengfeng scratched his head embarrassedly.
Shen Yian couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.
I couldn't imagine what kind of expression Fifth Brother would have if he knew that Shen Jinbai in front of him was the mastermind behind his kidnapping.
Shen Yian turned sideways to make room for Shen Luonian to salute Shen Jinbai.
While the four of them were flattering each other, Ye Liyan also took a seat on the other side, sitting right next to Shen Luoling.
Shen Luoling looked at her sister-in-law from the side, her eyes bright and full of excitement.
Noticing Shen Luoling's gaze, Ye Liyan responded with a smile.
This smile made Shen Luoling even more excited.
My sister-in-law looks so beautiful when she smiles!
The smell on your body is so good, is it natural?!
If it weren't for the occasion, she might have thrown herself into the other person's arms right now.
"Hey, Sixth Brother, long time no see, you came early!"
The word "sixth brother" made Shen Yian stunned for a moment. He heard the voice and realized that it was not him who was being called.
Turning around, she saw Shen Lingxiu walking in in a purple robe, and waved to Murong and the others: "Hello, sisters-in-law! Hello, nieces!"
A slight smile appeared on Murong's expressionless face and he nodded.
"Five brothers!"
Shen Jinbai stood up to greet him.
"Fifth Uncle."
Shen Yian, Shen Tengfeng and Shen Luonian also stood up.
"Sit down, sit down. Why are you standing up? We are all family, don't be so restrained." Shen Lingxiu said with a smile.
"Snapped."
Shen Lingxiu came over and patted Shen Tengfeng on the shoulder: "Xiao Fengzi, go sit in my seat first. I have something to say to Xiao Anzi."
"Yes, Uncle Five Emperors."
Shen Tengfeng had no choice but to give up his seat and sit on the left side of Shen Jinbai.
As soon as he sat down, Shen Lingxiu chatted with Shen Jinbai about family matters for a while, then turned around and looked at Shen Yian with a smile on his face.
[Stinky boy, why didn't you come to see me for so long?! ]
Shen Lingxiu asked with a wry smile.
[Fifth uncle, I am on a mission given by my father, so I am delayed for a while.]
Shen Yian sighed inwardly, knowing that he would be asked about the letter.
[Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense. I want to know the result. How was it? Did she blush after reading my letter?]
Shen Lingxiu raised his eyebrows and said narcissistically.
【Forehead...】
[My face didn’t turn red, but my letter did. 】
Shen Yian thought about it and decided that it would be better to explain the real situation. One lie often requires countless lies to cover it up. If the lies are exposed in the future, Shen Lingxiu will probably kill him. It is better to let him face the cruel reality.
【What's the meaning? 】
Shen Lingxiu was stunned. What did this red letter mean? Was it a reply to him?
[I didn't read the letter and burned it.]
Shen Yian smiled bitterly.
【...】
The smile on Shen Lingxiu's face froze.
【Actually, she...likes people who are like her. 】
Shen Yian hesitated for two seconds and decided to tell a "white lie" to make the other person feel better.
After all, judging from Xiao Xiang's attitude, Shen Lingxiu and Xiao Xiang will probably avoid Shen Lingxiu. If nothing unexpected happens, the two will not have any interactions in the future.
Even if Xiao Xiang knew that it was a "white lie", he would understand.
Shen Lingxiu: “?”
