After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible

two days later

The early morning sunlight shines on the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City, as if giving this ancient imperial palace a layer of golden glow.

Beile Shen was dressed in a moon-white suit with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, swaying slightly in the wind. He was young, handsome, and elegant, and had a smile on his face these days.

He was holding a brocade box in his hand, and his personal attendant also held one, which contained pastries carefully made from the most famous restaurant outside the palace.

This was specially prepared by Shen Beile for the Empress Dowager as a sign of filial piety. He had also already planned another portion of cake, which was more special. He asked his personal attendant to take it first and wait for him to come out to pay his respects outside Shoukang Palace.

Prince Shen walked towards the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace with ease. After paying his respects, the Empress Dowager smiled kindly, took the cakes he brought, and praised him for being filial and sensible.

Prince Shen smiled slightly, chatted with the empress dowager for a few words, and then retreated respectfully.

He gave a few casual instructions and ordered his followers to take the brocade box and walk towards the Yongshou Palace.

In the Yongshou Palace, Concubine Xi Zhen Huan was sitting idly, watching Yu Rao playing with her two children, Hong Zhou and Ling Xi. Although the two children were still young, they could already babble and call for help, which Yu Rao liked very much.

At this time, Xiao Yunzi came to report: "Your Majesty, Shen Beile ordered his attendants to deliver something, saying that it must be delivered in person."

Upon hearing this, Zhen Huan frowned slightly. She had no friendship with this Prince Shen and they had hardly ever spoken to each other. It was a little strange that he came to deliver something today. Could it be that Yunli asked him to come?

Zhen Huan knew that Prince Shen and Prince Guo had always been on good terms, so she could only think of this.

Yu Rao was having fun with the prince and the princess, but she also heard the three words "Shen Beile". She didn't know what Xiao Yunzi said, she only knew that Xiao Yunzi was talking about something related to Shen Beile.

Yu Rao turned her head to look in the direction of Xiao Yunzi, then looked outside the door. There was no sign of Shen Beile, and she felt a little disappointed.

Zhen Huan said to Xiao Yunzi, "Have him bring it in."

"Yes, Madam." Xiao Yunzi took the order and stepped back.

A moment later, Xiao Yunzi led Shen Beile's attendants to Zhen Huan's main hall. While he saluted Zhen Huan, he was looking for Yu Rao.

The servant had never seen Yu Rao before. The last time Shen Beile entered the palace alone, so the servant did not see Yu Rao and Shen Beile playing in the snow together.

She was well-dressed, pretty, and still young. She was sitting between two cradles, teasing the little princess from time to time, or playing with the little prince.

The servant guessed that this should be the Miss Yu Rao his master mentioned.

So, he deliberately raised his voice and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I am here on the orders of Prince Shen to bring you the most expensive cakes in the capital. They are new products that have just been released in the past few days. I bring them for your Majesty and Miss Yurao to taste."

Zhen Huan couldn't help but frown again, wondering why Shen Beile suddenly sent cakes? Is it just as simple as sending cakes?

At this time, Yu Rao had heard everything the attendant said clearly. She turned to the two nurses beside her and said, "Take good care of the prince and the princess."

Then, she walked quickly towards the attendant and asked softly, "Shen Beile... is he... coming too?"

The attendant smiled and nodded, "The prince is just outside the gate of Yongshou Palace."

Yu Rao's heart surged with joy, and then she turned her gaze to Zhen Huan and asked in a tender voice, "Eldest sister, I will go out and play for a while. I will definitely not run around, okay?"

At this moment, when Zhen Huan saw Yu Rao, the young girl with amorous feelings, she realized that Prince Shen’s real intention was not to date her, but to get Yu Rao.

Zhen Huan naturally understood Yu Rao's thoughts, smiled and nodded, and said, "Come back early."

After getting Zhen Huan's consent, Yu Rao was overjoyed and ran out impatiently. However, after jogging for only two steps, Yu Rao turned around and ran back into the house, smilingly taking out two cakes from the brocade box that the servant had just brought her.

Zhen Huan looked at Yu Rao's joyful expression and said, "They are all yours. I won't fight with you for them. I'll keep them all for you."

Yu Rao couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and she quickly waved her hand and said, "Eldest sister, you eat too."

As she spoke, Yu Rao handed a piece of cake in her hand to Zhen Huan, and then took out another piece from the brocade box. Holding two pieces of cake in her hands, she trotted out of the palace happily.

Her graceful figure was like that of a happy little deer, and she seemed to have forgotten that she was a lady.

Beile Shen stood outside Yongshou Palace, his heart beating faster as he imagined the scene when he saw Yu Rao again.

When Yu Rao ran towards him, she was wearing a light green silk dress, fresh and elegant, like willow catkins in spring.

She smiled slightly, and the moment her eyes met Yunxi's, it was like a breeze passing through the lake of her heart, causing ripples.

Prince Shen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a smile.

Yu Rao's cheeks flushed like the sunset, and she lowered her head shyly. She didn't know why, but after just two days of not seeing him, she felt the shadow of Shen Beile in her heart. Yu Rao, who had always been bold and lively, seemed a little restrained and shy at this moment.

Beile Shen looked at Yu and thought she was a pretty and lovely lady. He wished she was his wife.

"Beile Shen, how come you have time to come to Yongshou Palace today?" Yu Rao asked softly, looking forward to Beile Shen's answer.

Shen Beile did not hide it and said with a smile: "Today I brought cakes from outside the palace. Thinking of the hard work of the Queen Mother and Concubine Xi, I brought them for them to taste. Of course, I also want to let Miss Yurao taste it."

Yu Rao smiled and said, "Shen Beile is really thoughtful."

Seeing that she looked relaxed, Shen Beile took the opportunity to suggest, "I found a beautiful scenery in the Imperial Garden and would like to invite you to enjoy it together."

Yu Rao raised her head, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, and agreed happily.

They walked side by side through the corridors of the palace. Yu Rao handed one of the two cakes in her hand to Shen Beile and said, "I brought you a cake. You can try it too."

Beile Shen took the pastry, took a bite, and the sweet taste spread in his mouth.

He smiled and said, "This cake is very delicious. Thank you Miss Yurao."

"Why should you thank me? You were the one who sent this." Yu Rao said in a soft voice.

The attendant of Shen Beile behind him said, "Miss Yurao, the cake you tasted was made for you by Shen Beile himself after he went to the kitchen of Yuxuan Tower and learned from the chef."

Yu Rao was shocked that Shen Beile was so thoughtful. "You can also make pastries? But I can't make anything."

"When I have nothing to do, I will learn to cook. This pastry is also the first time I learn to make it. If you think it tastes good, I will make it for you often in the future."

"You can't cook, but I can." After Shen Beile said this, his face turned red instantly. This time he realized that what he had just said was a bit ambiguous.
