Reborn as a Sickly Child: The Emperor's Beloved

Xia Zhu had just opened the wine seal when a fresh fragrance filled the entire hall.

"Miss Shen can also brew wine," Xiao Jingzhan looked at the woman in front of him. She was different from the others.

"It's my personal hobby. I like to drink a little wine, and I like to brew some myself." After saying that, he picked up the wine glass on the table and motioned to the two of them to drink a glass together.

The refreshing fragrance of pear blossoms enters the throat with a mellow taste, which makes people feel as if they are standing under a tree full of pear blossoms, making them feel relaxed and happy.

Wu Qingfeng's eyes lit up, and he looked at Shen Yanyan with admiration. He usually loved fine wine and delicious food, and Shen Yanyan's winemaking skills were so impressive that he looked at her with new eyes.

"Miss Shen's skills are truly extraordinary. This wine must be the fairy wine of Qiong Yao." Wu Qingfeng said exaggeratedly.

"Mr. Wu, if you like to drink, I'll have someone send you two jars later." Shen Yanyan said generously. She had plenty of this wine, and the last thing the villa lacked was all kinds of fine wine.

"I have many other fine wines in my villa. I only brought one kind today. When we get back, I will open a few more jars for you two to taste." Shen Yanyan was like a wine geek at this time, recommending various fine wines with relish.

Xia Zhu used a dagger to cut a whole roasted chicken and roasted rabbit into small pieces and placed a plate in front of each of the three people. He also placed a whole roasted fish in front of each of them.

Shen Yanyan drank with a glass in one hand and ate meat with chopsticks in the other. The various barbecued meats that had been specially marinated tasted delicious and the meat was tender. She ate with a satisfied look on her face. She didn't look like a rich lady at all.

"Thank you very much, Miss Shen." Wu Qingfeng's eyes lit up. Although he had drunk a lot of fine wines, the wine brewed by Miss Shen was unique in Li Country, and not everyone was lucky enough to drink it.

Xiao Jingzhan on the side also smiled and said: "It's an honor to taste Miss Shen's wine."

Shen Yanyan waved her hands generously, "Meeting is fate, we will be friends in the future, don't be polite, come and try the barbecue."

"It's really delicious. Miss Yanyan has great cooking skills." Xiao Jingzhan praised.

"Thank you, Mr. Jing, for your compliment." Shen Yanyan smiled happily.

"Miss Shen's craftsmanship is unique even in Li Country." Wu Qingfeng also echoed.

He traveled a lot in his early years and had been to many places, but had never eaten barbecue with such a special taste, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is unique in the country.

"I'll be proud if you praise me again." Although Shen Yanyan said this, she was still very happy in her heart.

Drinking fine wine and eating barbecue, the three of them chatted while eating in a harmonious atmosphere.

The pear blossom wine smelled fragrant, but it was a bit strong. Shen Yanyan drank a little more and was a little drunk at this time.

She propped her face on the table with one hand, looked at the two people opposite her, and murmured to herself, "It's really fun to drink with handsome guys. Good wine goes well with beautiful women, not to mention two handsome guys." It was simply too good to be true.

Her usually lively and beautiful eyes were now a little hazy and ethereal, like a deep and invisible mountain spring. Her thin lips were pink and her fair cheeks were slightly flushed. Even though she was dressed as a man at this moment, Xiao Jingzhan felt that she was so beautiful that it made people panic for a moment.

Wu Qingfeng was also drunk and leaning on the table, holding a wine glass in his hand and tasting it carefully.

It was really unbearable to watch, two drunkards, one was drunk and crazy, and the other couldn't put down the cup in his hand. Xiao Jingzhan glanced at the two of them, and his handsome brows frowned slightly.

Shen Yanyan was puzzled when she saw the handsome man frowning. She asked, "Master Jing, why are you frowning? Is there something on your mind? Tell me." After saying that, she felt that the distance between the tables was a bit far, so she stood up and staggered towards Xiao Jingzhan.

Xia Zhu, who was standing by, widened her eyes when she saw her young lady's actions. She wondered what the young lady was trying to do.

She immediately wanted to help Shen Yanyan sit down. If she let her walk to Master Jing, what if she touched him? Xia Zhu knew her young lady's character too well.

"Miss, are you drunk? I'll help you go back and rest." Xia Zhu immediately stepped forward to support Shen Yanyan.

Shen Yanyan pushed Xia Zhu away, she was already quite drunk, "I'm not drunk, don't pull me, I want to ask the handsome guy what he is worried about." After saying that, she sat down on the chair next to Xiao Jingzhan, staggering.

An Liu and An Qi immediately wanted to pull Shen Yanyan away, but Xiao Jingzhan waved at them and they immediately retreated.

"Mr. Jing, you are so handsome. Have I ever told you that you are very handsome? How come you are so handsome? Can humans have such a peerless appearance?" Shen Yanyan propped her face on the table, feeling that her head was heavy. She put her other hand on Xiao Jingzhan's shoulder and spoke seriously. She completely forgot what she came here to ask.

An Liu and An Qi looked at Shen Yanyan's hand on their master's shoulder with their eyes widened. Even the most favored noble concubine in the palace would not dare to treat the emperor like this. Is Miss Shen crazy?

Xiao Jingzhan looked at the woman in front of him. Her rosy face was as soft and tender as a peach, her red lips were parted, the aroma of wine was intoxicating, and she tilted her head to look at him, with a hint of coquettishness in her drunken eyes.

He leaned forward slightly, the corners of his lips slightly raised, his eyes flashing with a strange light, staring into the woman's eyes, his voice gentle and, "Miss Shen, do you really want to know?"

An Liu and An Qi saw that their master not only did not push Miss Shen away, but also approached her to talk. This posture was too ambiguous. The two were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths.

"Yeah, I want to know." Her mind was confused at this moment, and she couldn't think at all. She just nodded continuously.

Xia Zhu looked at Master Jing's posture and thought, my god, what the hell is going on? The young lady is even wearing men's clothes. This scene is too explosive.

She hurried forward to help Shen Yanyan up and said, "Master Jing, my young lady is drunk. I hope you don't mind. I will help the young lady back first. The young lady has already asked someone to clean up the accommodation for the two young masters. The servants will take the two young masters to rest later. I will take my leave first." After that, she took Shen Yanyan to the backyard.

Xiao Jingzhan looked at the receding figure, his eyes smiling and saying with an ambiguous tone: "Shen Yanyan, it's really interesting."

Then he looked at Wu Qingfeng who was drunk next to him and kicked him.

Wu Qingfeng was kicked to the ground, and sat up and looked at Xiao Jingzhan. "Why did you kick me?"

"You seem to be enjoying your drink. Anqi, take him back to the room." After saying that, he glanced at the person on the ground and ordered Anqi.

The next morning.

Shen Yanyan opened her eyes and looked at the bed railing above her head, feeling a little dazed. How did she get back? Why didn't she remember anything? She had a blackout again.

At this time, Xia Zhu pushed the door open and said, "Miss, you are awake."

"Xia Zhu, you brought me back. Nothing happened yesterday, right?" Shen Yanyan looked at Xia Zhu expectantly, hoping that she had not done anything wrong. Based on past experience, nothing good would happen if she lost consciousness.

Xia Zhu chuckled twice, "What do you think, young lady? Yesterday you told Master Jing how handsome he was, and even put your hand on his shoulder, like a gangster."

"It's over, it's over. Drinking and messing up things, how embarrassing, why didn't you stop me." Shen Yanyan covered her face with her hands and said dejectedly. Why did you tease him? Although he is very handsome, it's enough to just look at him. That Master Jing is not an ordinary person. He came from the capital, so he must be a big shot. Even if you have a dirty mind, you don't have the courage to tease him. Drinking and messing up things is really killing people.

"Miss, I tried to stop you, but you pushed me away (you said this was a different price. Are you kidding, family members?) I couldn't stop you." Xia Zhu felt a little aggrieved.

"Oh, that's enough. I'll just pretend I don't know about this, so as not to embarrass myself in front of the criminal Jing Zhan." She also knew what kind of person she was when she was drunk, and she felt a little guilty.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw Wu Qingfeng and Jing Zhan already sitting at the table.

Shen Yanyan quickly stepped forward to greet them, "Master Jing, Master Wu, you got up so early. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Wu Qingfeng said nonchalantly: "It's okay, we just arrived, Miss Shen don't have to worry about it." After that, he leaned lazily on the table, looking like he had drunk too much and had a headache after a hangover.

"Xia Zhu, go and serve breakfast, and bring some sobering soup. Mr. Wu, drink some later, and your headache symptoms will feel better." Shen Yanyan said to Wu Qingfeng!

"Well, thank you Miss Shen."

"Ms. Shen, did you sleep well?" Xiao Jingzhan looked at Shen Yanyan with a smile.

Why did I feel a chill on my back when he smiled? Shen Yanyan pretended to know nothing and said naturally, "It's fine. How about Master Jing? Are you used to it?"

Seeing her natural expression, Jing Zhan's eyes darkened. This Third Miss Shen was quite good at pretending, so he said, "Very well, thank you Miss Shen for your concern."

"That's good, Master Jing, you are too polite." Damn it, why is he feeling so guilty now?

After the three of them had breakfast, they drove the carriage back to the villa.

After returning to the villa, Shen Yanyan felt a little embarrassed when she thought about the appointment she had made with someone to eat hotpot. After thinking about it, she called Xia Zhu.

If I can't make an appointment, I'll just run away when it's awkward.

Shen Yanyan thought for a moment and said, "Xia Zhu, we will return to the city tomorrow morning. You go and tell Aunt Li to pick more pear blossoms this year and dry them. I will come back to make wine after my eldest sister's wedding. By the way, go to the wine cellar to get two jars of pear blossom wine, one jar of plum wine, two jars of grape wine, and one jar of osmanthus wine. Send them to the Wu family villa at noon tomorrow. Say that I have something urgent to do and need to go home."

"Yes, Miss, I'll go right away." After saying this, Xia Zhu walked towards the gate of the villa.

Shen Yanyan went back to her room and took a nap.

The next morning.

Shen Yanyan and Xia Zhu hurriedly drove the carriage back to Yangzhou City.

Shen Mansion in Yangzhou City.

As soon as Shen Yanyan returned to the Shen Mansion, she saw her family members having breakfast. She wanted to sneak away but before she could, she heard the maid in the front hall come forward and greet: "This servant greets the Third Miss."

It’s over, I can’t run away, I’m going to be scolded again, Shen Yanyan thought!

Several people from the Shen family who were having dinner turned around and looked at her at the same time.

"Yanyan is back, come here quickly. Did you have fun these two days?" Father Shen looked at her lovingly.

"Girl, you still remember to come back. Didn't you say you would stay for a few more days?" Shen's mother said seriously.

"Greetings, father, mother, and two sisters." Shen Yanyan stepped forward and bowed.

Mother Shen looked at her standard salute posture, and her expression improved a little. Fortunately, she had not forgotten all the etiquette she had learned before going out for two days.

"You haven't had breakfast yet so early. Come here and have breakfast before going back to your yard." Mother Shen waved to her.

That's it, I won't scold her today. Shen Yanyan went forward to eat with some doubts.

The maid hurried forward to add more bowls and chopsticks.

"Yanyan, didn't you say you wanted to play for a few more days? Why did you come back after just two days?" Shen Qingqing said, looking at Shen Yanyan, who was dressed in men's clothes.

"Yes, the servant from the farm came here yesterday, and we thought it would take you five or six days to come back." Shen Lingling also agreed.

Shen Yanyan saw that everyone was confused. After all, she would stay for a long time every time she went to the farm before coming back. She would never say that she was hiding from people. "My eldest sister is getting married soon, so I came back early to accompany her," Shen Yanyan said coquettishly.

"Girl, you still have some conscience. You know that your two sisters treat you well, so you know to come back and accompany them." Mother Shen looked at her with relief.

Shen Yanyan felt a little guilty. She had originally planned to come back half a month before her elder sister's wedding. So she ate breakfast without saying anything else.
