Reborn Princess

The Tongyuan Tower was bustling with activity. Young ladies and gentlemen from official families were drinking tea in the compartments and enjoying the night view.

Lu Hanze sat alone in the innermost compartment drinking. He must have owed Zhou Cechen in his previous life. After he left, he had to be called over by his princess to drink alone in such a beautiful scenery.

Noble ladies and wives of officials who were familiar with the environment of Tongyuan would go upstairs to find the compartment they had booked, while those who were not familiar with the environment of Tongyuan would be led upstairs by the waiters.

A woman opened the door of the compartment on the third floor and shouted loudly, "This, this, this..."

If the people who drink wine and have tea in Tongyuan are either rich or noble, then the people who book a private room on the third floor of Tongyuan are even more noble.

The third floor was full of side rooms, and it was quiet with the doors closed. But the shout attracted all the guests downstairs to come up.

More than a dozen people gathered at the door of the wing room and saw a woman in white with her shoulders exposed sitting on a man and moving around. How shameless.

At this time, Lu Hanze walked over holding a folding fan, squeezed into the crowd, stood at the front, and exclaimed in disbelief, "King Xuan!"

If he hadn't been shouted, no one would have recognized him. But after he was shouted, everyone knew that the man lying on the beauty bed was King Xuan.

“Is this King Xuan?”

"Are all royal family members so open-minded?"

"Who is that woman sitting there? Judging from her attire, she must be from a certain family."

"Look at its boneless appearance, it seems to be very powerful when it moves." A man joked.

Most of the people present were women, so no one responded to his lewd words.

"That...that's the eldest daughter of the second branch of the Shen family, Shen Luoning!"

I don't know which lady said this, but the group of people at the door were shocked.

"What? Isn't Shen Luoning famous in the capital for her gentleness and virtue?"

Everyone was talking at once, and no one showed any intention of leaving.

Shen Luoning had originally planned to meet Zhou Jingmo in Tong Garden today to coax him not to marry Zhao Ruyun.

The love was so strong that she was sitting on Zhou Jingmo when the door was pushed open, but she didn't know where to cry afterwards.

Zhou Jingmo was originally feeling comfortable being served. He was lying on the bed without any defense. His men were guarding the door and no one dared to break in.

But when he saw so many people standing outside the door, he was a little confused. How could this be?

He hurriedly got up and covered Shen Luoning with the quilt.

"Oh my God, gentlemen and ladies, please stop looking at this. It's not good for your eyes." An elderly lady said.

There was a prince inside, so no one dared to look at him for too long and just followed the crowd.

As soon as this person left, the news began to spread.

Tonight is the Lantern Festival, the time when the streets are busiest. In just one hour, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Lu Hanze returned to the remote compartment and sipped his tea slowly while looking at the street and river views.

The princess Zhou Cechen married was really interesting. It was the first time in his life that he experienced the feeling of catching an adulterer.

Shen Lilan was swallowed up by the crowd as he walked on the street.

"My queen, it's done." Yanci said.

Shen Lilan curled his lips.

"It's good that it works."

Seeing that Shen Yanlan was still walking forward, Yanci asked, "Madam, do you want to visit the Lantern Festival?"

"What's the point of visiting this lantern festival alone?" Shen Lilan looked at the people passing by him. Most of them were in pairs, or a family with a child, with the father letting the child ride on his shoulders.

Shen Xilan curled her lips. Her father was like this before in Mobei, but after returning to Beijing, she was alone.

Walking along the Imperial Street, Shen Lilan saw many young men and women walking together wearing masks.

"Miss, would you like to see our beast face?"

Shen Lilan looked at the masks on the stall. "Animal masks?" she asked.

"This is a unique custom of our Lantern Festival, wearing animal masks and dressing in strange costumes." The boss responded.

"Then take one." Lu Nong, who was beside Shen Lilan, took out some change and handed it to the boss.

"Okay! Miss, pick one and see if there's anything you like."

Shen Lilan looked at the masks on display. There were tigers, lions, snakes... Among the many animal masks, Shen Lilan saw a scarlet fox mask.

The tips of the ears are red with bells hanging on them.

"This is it." Shen Lilan took off the mask and tried to put it on.

She put on the mask and turned back to look for Yanci, but there was no sign of Yanci. Shen Xilan frowned.

Suddenly the crowd became agitated and rushed in one direction. Shen Lilan was pushed back by the flow of people.

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a dark figure.

Shen Lilan was stunned for a moment.

Zhou Cechen walked towards him, lights were on between heaven and earth, and Shen Lilan didn't dare to greet him.

Is it a dream?

The crowd searched for him thousands of times, but the man was in the dim light.

The two looked at each other across the crowd.

Shen Xilan was suddenly bumped by someone. She staggered, but Zhou Cechen caught her.

"Be careful." A man's voice came from Shen Lilan's ear.

Shen Lilan's hand was grasping Zhou Cechen's collar.

Through the mask, she couldn't see everything, she could only see him in front of her.

Zhou Cechen suddenly used his arms to hug Shen Lilan up, attracting the attention of others.

The ambiguous flirtation between the young man and the girl made everyone who saw it look at them for a few seconds and then shyly look away.

"There are so many people." Shen Lilan was picked up by Zhou Cechen. She hugged him and buried her head in the man's neck embarrassedly.

"You are wearing a mask, they can't recognize you or see your face." Zhou Cechen whispered.

Shen Lilan's cheeks were flushed beneath the mask.

Shen Lilan was carried out against the crowd and was put down under a locust tree where there were few people.

Shen Xilan was wearing a red dress embroidered with crabapple flowers, a red and white cloak, and a fox mask, standing under a tree and looking up at Zhou Cechen.

"When... did you come back?" she asked in a trembling voice.

Zhou Cechen looked down at her and said, "I miss my wife so much and have been waiting for you to come back for so long. I am so anxious that I can't see you for a moment."

"I lost two horses while traveling day and night, but luckily I caught up with you."

Shen Lilan didn't say anything, just stared at him with tears in his eyes.

Zhou Cechen reached out and took off Shen Lilan's mask. A beautiful face appeared in front of him. He rolled his Adam's apple and stroked the corner of Shen Lilan's eye with his thumb. "Did you miss me? Fu Fu."

How could Shen Lilan not miss Zhou Cechen? She nodded: "Yes."

Zhou Cechen had a smile in the corner of his eyes. For the first time, he was so eager to go home because there was someone waiting for him at home.

Just with this one word "think." He felt that everything was worth it.

“I think about it every day.”

Zhou Cechen was stunned for a moment and then hugged Shen Lilan in his arms. "Fu Fu." He called her softly.

Shen Lilan was waiting for his next words, but Zhou Cechen said nothing. He just held Shen Lilan and was unwilling to let go.

Seeing this, Yanci turned his face away, and suddenly saw a familiar figure, he frowned.

is her.

Under the locust tree, Zhou Cechen let go of Shen Lilan, took her hand and led her away from the crowd towards the river.

Shen Lilan was pulled by him and didn't know what he was going to do.

"Let me take you somewhere," he said.
