Reborn Princess

"Miss Shen, the person sleeping next to you every day is like this, can you sleep peacefully?"

"He also killed people in the palace and pushed his sister into the lotus pond with his own hands. She died in the end. A child killed another child. Do you want such a person?"

Zhou Chao took another step towards Shen Lilan and said, "If you follow me and become my princess, I can give you wealth and glory. As long as you listen to me, I can give you the power to manage the palace."

Shen Xilan's eyes were silent and cold at this moment, and her sore spot was Zhou Cechen.

The person she loves is Zhou Cechen.

Her bottom line is also Zhou Cechen.

He has provoked everyone.

Shen Xilan stood up and took a step towards Zhou Chao. When Zhou Chao saw her walking towards him, he curled his lips and smiled.

But the next moment, a slap landed on his face.

"You can't say anything or touch my people."

"So what if he kills someone? I will be his knife for whoever he wants to kill. So what if he is in a bad situation? He is now in great glory."

"Zhou Chao, let me tell you, in this life, no, in any life, you will never be able to compare to Zhou Cechen."

"You are not worthy to compare with him."

Shen Yanlan looked at him coldly and chuckled, "How pitiful."

After saying that, she turned and left, but saw Zhou Cechen when she turned around.

His eyes were deep and unfathomable as he looked at her with caution.

Shen Yanlan walked towards him and took his hand.

"Have you finished your work at the palace?"

"Yeah." Zhou Cechen replied.

"let's go."

"it is good."

Zhou Chao originally wanted to watch the fun, but now that these things have happened to him, he is shaking with anger.

Looking at the backs of Zhou Cechen and Shen Lilan leaving, Zhou Chao rushed over and grabbed Shen Lilan, scolding "you bitch", but was stopped by Zhou Cechen.

Zhou Cechen grabbed Zhou Chao's arm and pushed him away.

"roll."

After saying that, he took Shen Lilan away.

It was already the 9th hour. On normal days, the palace gates would be locked, but today was New Year's Day and there was a palace banquet. Zhou Cechen held Shen Xilan's hand and walked in silence.

The palace road was long and had no end. Eunuchs were leading the way in front holding palace lanterns.

Shen Lilan was wearing a cloak and a fox fur hat, with the brim of the hat pressing down her bun.

She glanced at the hand that Zhou Cechen was holding and then quietly looked up at Zhou Cechen's face.

Stern and stern, his jawline is still clear and his nose is still straight.

Shen Lilan pulled Zhou Cechen's finger.

Zhou Cechen looked down at her.

"Achen." She called her.

Zhou Cechen stared at her. Shen Lilan didn't say anything but pulled her hand away. In an instant, cold wind blew across his palm and he panicked.

After just a moment, Shen Yanlan held Zhou Cechen's hand again.

His hands were so big that she couldn't hold them completely, but she just wanted to.

After leaving the palace, the cold and quiet environment suddenly became lively and warm.

Today is New Year's Day, and there is a parade, but it should have ended by now.

Shen Xilan sat in the carriage and looked outside through the window. All the restaurants and shops had hung red lanterns and pasted window decorations. Although there were not many people around, he could already feel the festive atmosphere that had not yet completely dissipated.

Not far away, a few children were setting off fireworks, with sparks flashing everywhere.

Tonight is the day for family reunion.

But she felt that attending such a palace banquet was really tiring, and she also felt that Cao Shuyi would really be tortured in the palace if she had to face these bad things every day.

Zhou Cechen looked at her eyes looking out the window. On New Year's Day, he should have taken her to watch the parade, but she had to attend a palace banquet.

"Want to go down and take a look?" he asked.

Shen Lilan looked back at him. His calm face seemed to show no sadness at all. However, the pain of the wound that had not healed and that he had tried so hard to cover up was finally torn open and tortured by others was not easy to heal.

She didn't want to go down and see at all at this moment. She just wanted to hold his hand and accompany him like this.

"Not going." Shen Yanlan answered him.

Zhou Cechen's eyes darkened. He now didn't even know how to cover up that dirty and disgusting scar.

After getting off the carriage, the two walked towards the mansion. Today, Shen Xilan ordered people to paste up the window paper-cuts that had been cut earlier and hang up lanterns, which added a bit of the festive atmosphere.

Zhou Cechen thought Shen Lilan would go back to Xiao Lanxuan, but Shen Lilan didn't. She pulled him to Liyuan Pavilion.

"Look, I cut these twin hibiscus flowers. My grandmother taught me how to do it. This lantern looks good when hung up. And..."

"Shen Lilan." Zhou Cechen interrupted Shen Lilan.

"I..." Even though my mind was full of words to explain, the words sounded ridiculous and powerless when they came to my lips.

What's the explanation? Did he not kill anyone when he was a child? Or is the story about him fighting with a dog for food a lie?

Seriously, it's ridiculous.

"Ah Chen." Shen Lilan looked at him. "Can I call you that?"

Zhou Cechen agreed.

"I regret that I wasn't able to be a part of your childhood."

Zhou Cechen was very glad that she had never seen him in such a miserable state that no one was willing to pity him.

"But you are you. You can resist, fight, or even kill. Isn't this evidence of your self-protection?"

"I don't believe him."

Zhou Cechen looked away and closed his eyes. Wasn't what he said true?

"Maybe these things happened, but I know that you are rebelling against their rudeness, their evil, and their high-handed oppression."

"You looked out at the vast expanse of the world from a small, dark corner. You did it, didn't you? You have made great military achievements, you govern the country well, and you don't have to fear anyone."

"You are Zhou Cechen. No matter how miserable, terrible, or unbearable you are, I will still like you."

"I'm not afraid of what's hidden deep inside you. I'm afraid that I will never be able to get inside."

Shen Yanlan touched his chest, which was strong and firm.

Zhou Cechen was stunned. He stared at Shen Lilan until his eyes turned red.

She said she liked him, she said she was not afraid, and she said he was awesome.

Zhou Cechen held up Shen Lilan's face and kissed her. It was an urgent, aggressive, and unavoidable kiss.

A group of maids following behind the two of them lowered their heads.

Shen Yanlan stood on tiptoe to respond to his passionate kiss, her lips slightly opened, intertwined with his lips and tongue. She stretched out her arms to touch the corners of his eyes, wet.

Shen Lilan's heart tightened, and she hugged Zhou Cechen's neck with both hands, unwilling to let go.

Crazy, both of them are crazy.

After a long time, Shen Lilan couldn't breathe anymore and Zhou Cechen let her go.

Zhou Cechen held Shen Lilan in his arms, hugged her tightly, and was unwilling to let go.

"Shen Lilan, even if it's out of pity, don't let me go," he said.

"It's love, not pity," she said.
