It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

Smiling with spring peaches, clouds piled with green buns, lips with cherry blossoms, and pomegranate teeth with fragrance.

The person in front of him is undoubtedly a beauty, Shen Jinghe thought to himself.

... It would be better if she could be a little more polite in her speech and demeanor.

Sitting leisurely beside the yellow rosewood table is a slim girl in a snow-blue double-breasted skirt. At this time, she is picking up refreshments on the table and feeding them into her mouth without notice. color.

"I thought your life would be much easier after you received a wave of rewards for your poor son, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that." The clear and sweet voice was like the melody of a yellow warbler, and he said familiarly.

Shen Jinghe looked at the half-empty golden silk party plum crisps on the table, and hesitated whether to remind her that this was the second plate served by the servants.After a moment of silence, his good family qualities still forced him to forcibly look away from the plate of snacks.

He looked at the face of the person in front of him that was six points similar to that of the Fifth Prince, and asked tentatively, "Sister Fourth?"

Shen Rutang raised her brows casually, and responded.

"It's not a fool to know people."

Shen Jinghe smiled wryly, feeling very complicated.Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, the women he saw were either dignified, virtuous, indifferent and self-confident, or she had hidden knives in her brows and smiles.

As quick as him, he couldn't find a suitable word to describe the fourth princess whom he met for the first time.In the past, people in the palace only talked about her self-willedness and savagery in private, but for some reason, even though it was just the first time they met, he always felt that there was a laid-back arrogance in her bones, just like himself.The only difference is that he hides this arrogance carefully in his heart in order to survive, but she pours it out without hesitation, doesn't care about complicated etiquette, and just wants to live a happy life as she pleases.

Strong and talented, it is often difficult to be tolerated by the world.It is amazing to be able to live so freely in the royal family.

Shen Jinghe watched her pick up the last piece of cake slowly, her lips moved, but she still didn't let out the dissuasion that came to her throat.

Forget it, just eat it.Although this was the last plate he sent someone to receive from the dining room.

He looked away with some heartache, thinking that he was out of sight and out of mind.Sweets are one of his few hobbies, and now watching them being wiped out in front of him, and being picked on by people with different opinions, Shen Jinghe rarely feels a little bit pained.

Shen Rutang wiped off the pastry crumbs on her fingertips with a silk cloth, looked at her newly recognized sixth younger brother with a bitter face, and laughed with a "puchi", "Why, after eating your two plates of dim sum, you will Can't bear it? It's hard for me to choose two big boxes of gifts from the palace for you, I think it's better to get someone to carry them back as soon as possible!"

Shen Jinghe naturally understood the meaning of the joke, and immediately became playful, following her temperament and repeatedly begging for mercy.Shen Rutang was coaxed happily by him, and smiled and asked his subordinates to carry up two large boxes of nanmu bookcases.

With a wave of her servants, she stepped forward and opened the box with her own hands, "I heard that you beat Xiao Wu in the game of chess, and after he returned to the palace, he praised you for being world-class, so I wanted to come over and see for myself. I just found out that the side hall you live in doesn’t even have any chairs for guests, and I think the place is empty and unpopular, so it’s dragged on until now, so don’t be offended.”

He said "Don't take offense" in his mouth, but his face was full of righteousness.Shen Jinghe just felt dumbfounded, he shook his head with a sigh, and walked forward, but was surprised by the neatly stacked volumes of slips in the bookcase.

Although the nanmu bookcase looks plain and unadorned, it is full of all kinds of rare books that no one else can even find anywhere in the world.Articles on rites and music, celestial phenomena and history, ghosts and spirits...even the scenery and geography of various places are included. Even if the collection is meticulous, it is by no means gathered overnight.

"This..." Shen Jinghe was so stunned that he didn't know what to say.The so-called congratulatory rituals sent by the palaces before were like pearls and jade in front of this real generous gift, and they were instantly eclipsed.He lived outside the palace for the first 16 years, and has been suffering from being unable to get in touch with the real top culture of the world.Although he still has the background of his previous life, the two worlds are different after all. Without new knowledge, he will still not be able to fully understand what the world he is in is like.

This faint worry has been deeply buried in his heart, and he has even secretly made up his mind that the first thing after he got up is to collect the collection of Qi Jing history for students to read.Now that the things he was looking for were carefully arranged and delivered to him, he suddenly felt like a canoe walking alone in the vast deep sea finally saw a bright light, and he was no longer afraid of the wind and rain.

Seeing his honest surprise, Shen Rutang knew that the new owner of these volumes would cherish them well, so she narrowed her phoenix eyes in satisfaction.

Only now did Shen Jinghe recover from his astonishment, his eyes were full of emotion and incomprehension, "Sister Sihuang, this important gift, I am really... You and I are just meeting each other for the first time, why do we have to meet each other like this?" for me?"

Shen Rutang waved her hand nonchalantly, "I just believe in Xiao Wu's eyes. He said you are a person who can get along with me, so I will assume that you can get along with me. Now that I have come to see you, you really have not let me down."

After saying that, she tilted her head coquettishly.

"You have to hide this pile of books well. If Xiao Wu can't find them and ask, just say that you haven't seen them."

"What?" Shen Jinghe turned pale with shock, "This is... the book of Brother Wuhuang?"

He endured it again and again, but in the end he didn't say the word "steal", but he took a big step back as if he couldn't stand still.The ups and downs of life made his expression blank for a moment.

Shen Jinghe only felt that his heart seemed to be thrown high and then fell heavily. He clutched his chest, and even breathing became a little difficult.

Wasn't his imperial sister sent by Concubine Duan to play with him?

Seeing his appearance, Shen Rutang immediately laughed mercilessly.

"I said you, you are so easy to deceive, be careful that one day you will be abducted in the palace! Xiao Wu has already copied and recited these books several times, and they are just ashes in the room. Send it here to entertain you in your spare time. Besides, if I hadn’t discussed it with him in advance, no matter how good our relationship is, how could I take his stuff for myself?”

Shen Jinghe breathed a sigh of relief, he begged with a wry smile, "Sister Huang, please stop teasing me... I almost thought that my life was not long."

He pursed his lips, thought for a moment, called Cheng Mo and ordered him to fetch a box of Mo jade beads that the emperor had rewarded him a few days ago.This box of jade beads is round, warm and greasy, of high quality, and is currently the most precious thing in his side hall.

Putting the jade beads in front of her, Shen Jinghe looked into her eyes and said seriously, "I know that the value of these two boxes of books is by no means comparable to a small box of jade beads, but now that I have received such a precious gift, if If you don't return the courtesy, you will feel guilty and restless. If Miss Huang doesn't dislike it, please accept it."

Shen Rutang glanced at Yuzhu, then raised her head to look at him steadily.

The life of the young man in front of her is not well-to-do, but the circle she just strolled around has a panoramic view.

She smiled proudly, "You don't dislike it? But I just dislike it. I don't like jade, so take it back."

Shen Jinghe was stunned for a moment, moved in his heart, but still determined on the face, "Sister Huang doesn't like jade, but this black jade of mine is not jade, so it is not considered a taboo. Sister Huang should accept it."

"Huh? Why is Moyu not jade?" Shen Rutang was stunned when he heard this.

"Sister Huang, listen to me." Shen Jinghe smiled, and began to try to coax her to accept the thank you gift, "If someone orders his servant to buy jade, the servant can buy topaz or sapphire. But if he asks to buy ink Jade, if a servant buys topaz or sapphire, he is afraid that he will be reprimanded by his master. If Moyu is jade, then the order of this person should be the same before and after. But if this is the case, why does the servant's behavior lead to differences? What about the consequences? From this point of view, asking to buy jade is different from asking to buy black jade, so how can you say that black jade is jade?"

Shen Rutang opened her mouth halfway, staring blankly at his opening and closing, feeling a little confused all over herself.She subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know how to argue for a while.

She was silent for a while, and said with some difficulty, "According to you, jade with color is not considered jade. But how can there be no color jade in the world, can they not be considered jade?"

Shen Jinghe saw her face in a trance, raised the corners of her mouth slyly, and chased after the victory, "Jade has an inherent color, so there is black jade. But since the jade is required to be black, it has more requirements for shape than 'jade'." The requirements for the color of the layer "ink" stipulate that black jade is naturally different from pure jade, so it is clear that black jade is different from jade."

After some talking, he felt very comfortable.Shen Rutang's expression was blank, and her eyes gradually lost focus.

Silence, still endless silence.

After waiting for a while and still not seeing the person in front of him answering, Shen Jinghe looked at her expression, feeling a little unbearable.He coughed tentatively, "Miss Huang?"

Shen Rutang turned his head and looked at him expressionlessly.

Fortunately, I was still worried that he would be abducted by someone, and I was afraid that the person who abducted him would collapse on the spot due to his eloquent speech before he opened his mouth.

"...Although I know it's wrong, I still feel that I was persuaded by you. Well, I admit that Moyu is not jade." Shen Rutang sighed softly, and finally spoke resignedly.

There was a trace of victory in the corners of Shen Jinghe's eyes and brows.

Seeing his high-spirited appearance, the corners of Shen Rutang's mouth curled up slightly, expressing sympathy.

"Then I'll correct it again, I don't like jade, and I don't like Moyu either."

……what?

Shen Jinghe's pupils dilated unbelievably, and the smile that hadn't burst yet froze on his face.

Shen Rutang glanced at the direction of the warehouse, and added casually, "Not only Moyu, but I don't like sapphire, topaz, or even red jade."

At this moment, Shen Jinghe finally fully understood why she was so silent just now.

Shen Rutang pushed Yuzhu back with a smile on her face, "So, you should keep it well. By the way, don't forget to read the book I brought."

Shen Jinghe looked down at Mo Yuzhu who was rejected by them in every possible way, only feeling puzzled in his heart.

Even though I made a lot of money today, why does my mind only have the word "lose"?
