The imperial concubine bows down to me

This matter may be of great importance, so Du Qinning warned everyone who knew about it one by one, and withdrew the person who took care of the woman in red until there were only two court ladies who knew the details, plus her own It was more reassuring to visit her often in person.

Two days passed so quickly.

In the past two days, the woman in red didn't meet Shen Zhi, although she still didn't say a word to others, but at least she didn't cry all day like when she just woke up.Usually nothing happened, she just lay on the bed and stared at the roof in a daze.Originally, she didn't eat rice, but she finally ate a little food under Xue Ruoyu's persuasive persuasion to change her ways at any time and persevere.

Today, when Liu Shuyan left, Xue Ruoyu didn't pester Du Qinning or go to see Du Qinning as he did a few days ago, but sent Du Qinning away with "fancy words" with a mysterious expression on his face Secretly dragged Shen Zhi to a corner where no one was around.

Shen Zhi was very puzzled by Xue Ruoyu's behavior. As soon as the two stopped, she looked around, and then asked: "Miss Xue, why is it so secretive that even Qin Ning can't hear it?"

"Hush——" Seeing that Shen Zhi was speaking a little loudly, Xue Ruoyu quickly put his hand to his mouth and made a "shh" gesture towards her. He lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness, don't speak so loudly, those dumb ears are so good, maybe she can hear it even hundreds of feet away, it's better for us to keep our voices quiet."

Hearing this, Shen Zhi rarely pursed his lips and smiled, he realized what Xue Ruoyu said was probably related to Du Qinning.But it's true, since Xue Ruoyu put all the books in the Lizheng Hall that day, he hasn't looked for them in the future.Could it be... Seeing that the limelight is over today, she wants to take those things back?

Thinking of this, Shen Zhi unconsciously recalled the picture he saw in the drawing book that day, and felt ashamed for a while.

Afraid of what Xue Ruoyu was looking at, Shen Zhi immediately replied to her so that she could turn her attention away: "Miss Xue is right, so the orphan should keep her voice low. But I don't know, Miss Xue brought the orphan to such a remote place. , what do you want to say?"

"I heard from the palace people that...His Royal Highness made delicious food for Sister Wen Shi, and then...then she agreed to be your grand master the next day." Xue Ruoyu said it carefully, Xu also thought in his heart The request to know what I'm going to say next seems to be overreaching.

After being rejected by Liu Shuyan two days ago, seeing her crying so hard, Shen Zhi was still a little worried.But after Du Qinning comforted her in the past, she never cried again. On the contrary, she was more disciplined and cheerful than before, and when she got along with Liu Shuyan, she was no longer as stalking as before.

Shen Zhi thought it was what Du Qinning said to Xue Ruoyu, which made her feel relieved and began to pester Du Qinning, but after asking Du Qinning, she found out that she hadn't given up yet, but she was more energetic .

Hearing this, Shen Zhi realized that he was thinking too much.It's just that if Xue Ruoyu can maintain the current state, it would be a good thing.But now it seems that she probably has the posture of "cleaning up the old mountains and rivers and starting again".

"It's true, but Gu and the imperial concubine eat and eat, just to repay her kindness. The replacement of the position of the prince and grand teacher was discussed by Gu and the imperial concubine a long time ago. It has nothing to do with what Miss Xue said. " According to Xue Ruoyu's temperament, Shen Zhi probably already anticipated what she wanted to say.

Sure enough, as Shen Zhi expected, upon hearing this, Xue Ruoyu not only did not listen to Shen Zhi's words, but also acted coquettishly to her without any scruples: "It doesn't matter, anyway, His Highness is making things for Sister Wen Shi, she I'm just happy! And I gave so many valuable things to Sister Wen Shi before, but she didn't show that she liked it very much. The stupid said that Sister Wen Shi is the lord of the first palace, and she doesn't lack anything, so it's useless to send those , it’s better to make something meaningful for her by myself. So I thought about it, and finally decided to make a dish for sister Wen Shi, she will be happy!"

Xue Ruoyu crackled a lot, and Shen Zhi only understood that she wanted to cook for Liu Shuyan herself, but she still didn't understand what she meant by pulling herself to this place to speak.

"If Ms. Xue has such an idea, you can borrow the kitchen in the East Palace for your free use. But Gu really doesn't know, does Miss Xue want Gu Ye to do something for you?"

Hearing this, Xue Ruoyu suddenly smiled brightly, but after a short while, her mouth pouts again: "But I don't know how to cook."

"Gu can ask the imperial chef to teach Miss Xue." Shen Zhi thought that this is not an important matter in itself, so he agreed.

"No, palace people are always full of people. If it reaches Sister Wen Shi's ears, she will blame me for not being sincere enough." As she said, Xue Ruoyu opened her watery eyes and looked at Shen Chen innocently. Knowing that, she stepped forward and grabbed the corner of her clothes, swayed from side to side and hummed, "Your Highness, I know you are a very, very good person, so you can help me this time, okay? You don't need your Highness to do it yourself." , I’ll just trouble you to point and point, okay?”

Shen Zhi sighed silently, thinking that Xue Ruoyu was also spoiled by Xue Jiang.How does this look like a woman in her twenties and nines? She has a clear mind and is no different from a woman who has not yet reached her age.She is still presenting herself as a man now, if others see her, how decent is that?

"Alright, it just so happens that I don't need to go to study with the prince after noon today. Qin Ning is going to find the Taifu, and he is not in the East Palace. But let me say it first, Gu is not proficient in this way, but just learned from the same mother and queen, and knows a thing or two. That's all." Saying that, Shen Zhi wanted to pretend to let go of Xue Ruoyu's hand inadvertently, but instead of letting go, she pulled Shen Zhi's sleeve even tighter.

As soon as Shen Zhi agreed to Xue Ruoyu, she immediately beamed with joy, and led Shen Zhi halfway to the small kitchen.

Before meal time, there were only three palace servants in the kitchen who were simply disposing of the ingredients needed for the afternoon meal while laughing and talking.Seeing Shen Zhi and Xue Ruoyu coming, the three quickly put down the things in their hands, and saluted them: "My servant has seen His Royal Highness, Xue Bandu."

"Get up."

Shen Zhi dismissed the three of them in the name of letting them take a rest temporarily, and walked around inside again, seeing some okra beside him, Dang even decided to teach Xue Ruoyu to make a boiled okra for Liu Shuyan like last time.Because she doesn't know how to make too many things, the steps of boiling okra are simple and easy to make, but it is also delicious. It should be perfect for her and Xue Ruoyu.

After getting things ready, Shen Zhi taught Xue Ruoyu to light the firewood.Although Xue Ruoyu didn't know how to do it, she also had some talent. Shen Zhi didn't waste too much time talking, and she also half-listened and half-groped to get things done.

When Shen Zhi was about to ask Xue Ruoyu to boil the okra in the hot water in the pot, the little eunuch's hurried but joyful voice suddenly sounded outside the door: "Your Highness, Lord Wei is here!" .”

Lord Wei?Could it be... Uncle came to Beijing?

The author has something to say: Looking at the title, I feel that things are not simple.
