Rouge wrong

When the first emperor was a prince, he had three sons and four daughters. Except for the Holy One, the other two sons had died in battle.

As for the daughters, only Princess Xinyang and the Holy One are brothers and sisters of the same mother, so their status is extremely noble.

Because the descendants of the first emperor were weak, and the current emperor is the emperor of Zhongxing, the original palaces in Yanjing were empty and idle.

The Holy Majesty loved her sister very much, and was grateful for her hard work for the country and the people. He specially bestowed a princess mansion covering an area of ​​nearly [-] mu in the most prosperous area of ​​the capital.

Even the mansions of several princes who have already been crowned kings are less than half the size of the eldest princess' mansion.

Yan Zhi and Hu Zi hadn't spoken to each other since they got off the carriage, and when they entered the gate of the Princess Mansion, their faces were pale, and they lowered their heads, not daring to look around.

The door was leading Shen Cuo and his party into the inner courtyard, because the eldest princess only asked to see Yan Zhi.

So Shen Ding took Huzi to settle down first under the leadership of the door assistant, while Shen Cuo and Yanzhi were led by the maid to the main hall to meet Princess Xinyang.

Rouge was extremely anxious, her hands and feet were cold, her mind was numb, and she walked very stiffly.

Seeing her walking hard, Shen Cuo stretched out his hand and took her hand.

"Don't be nervous, mother should reward you."

Rouge's palms were covered with sweat, and she whispered to Shen Cuo, "Master Shen, I, my legs are weak."

Shen Cuo knew that she was nervous, so he didn't laugh at her, and comforted her: "I'll be there soon, what my mother asks later, you just answer the truth, don't lie just to please her."

How dare Yan Zhi lie in front of the eldest princess, she nodded repeatedly.

"Should I kneel down to the eldest princess?"

Rouge thought that she would kneel when she saw the county magistrate, and naturally she would kneel even more when she saw the eldest princess.But thinking of Shen Miss's past remarks, he didn't know how to make a choice.

"When you see my mother, if your legs are weak, then kneel down, if you can stand still. It doesn't matter if you don't kneel."

Shen Cuo didn't say what must be done, but let Yanzhi decide on her own, Yanzhi had a bitter face and didn't know what to do, the maid had already led the two into the main hall.

Because of the rouge, it was different from when Shen Cuo came back last year, this time Liu Rongzhi set up a seat in the main hall to meet the two, which was quite formal.

Rouge lowered her head and only dared to look at her own toes, so when she followed Shen Cuo into the hall, she could still only see the luxurious skirt in front of her.

"Mother, this is the Rouge that Cuo'er told you about in her letter." Shen Cuo draped Rouge's shoulders and said to Liu Rongzhi, "She is timid, please don't take offense."

Yan Zhi heard Shen Cuo's conversation with her mother was very polite, completely different from the usual style, and was surprised in her heart, when she heard a gentle and laughing voice ringing in her ears.

"Oh, is this Rouge? Don't be nervous, look up."

Rouge felt that Shen wrongly patted her on the shoulder, and mustered up the courage to look at Liu Rongzhi who was seated.

I saw a beautiful woman with a beautiful figure sitting dignifiedly on the seat, looking at her with a smile on her brows and eyes with a gentle expression.

Yan Zhi's body was not as stiff as before, and after a blank look at Liu Rongzhi, she followed the example of the maid just now, and greeted her well: "Minister Yan Zhi greets His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Liu Rongzhi was a little surprised, looked at Shen Cuo and said: "Cuoer also teaches etiquette?"

Shen Cuo lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "I didn't teach her, I think I learned it from the maid just now."

Liu Rongzhi nodded, and said approvingly: "You are a clever child, you saved the wrong boy, I am very grateful to you, if you have any requests, please say so."

Yanzhi shook her head in fear and trepidation: "Shopkeeper Shen has helped me a lot, and now he is helping me find my sister. As long as I can stay by Shopkeeper Shen's side, Yanzhi has no other requests."

Shen Cuo raised his eyebrows, thinking that Rouge was so sensitive.

The mother almost transferred away all the trustworthy people around her, leaving only Shen Ding, the guard who was only responsible for protecting her safety.

Now that she has shown such trust in Yanzhi, her mother must be afraid that she will train Yanzhi to be like Baiquan Jieyu.

Shen Cuo also thought about giving Rouge some money in return and sending her away at will, but now he has no such idea anymore.

Rouge is the most powerful helper around her now, no matter what she says, it is impossible for her mother to intervene again.

It's just that she was afraid of scaring Yanzhi, so she hasn't revealed her mother's thoughts to Yanzhi.

Liu Rongzhi's smile did not change, and he still looked at Yanzhi calmly: "I have heard about your sister, don't worry, we will spare no effort to help you find it."

Rouge's face was filled with joy, and she said happily, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

"But this alone cannot express my gratitude..." Liu Rongzhi beckoned, and asked the maid who had been carrying the tray to take a step forward, pointing to a gold and jade abacus in the tray and said, "I heard wrong Said that you are good at abacus, and you ran a shop at a young age.

If you are wrong in terms of money, you will definitely not treat you badly, so I will give you a piece of pearls and jade abacus today, which is my heart. "

Rouge neither dared to refuse nor accepted, and quickly looked at Shen Cuo.

"Since it's my mother's wish, you just accept it."

Shen Cuo did not expect Liu Rongzhi to be so talkative this time, let alone that she would give rouge abacus.But Shen Cuo didn't take it lightly, quietly waiting for her next move.

Rouge obeyed Shen Cuo's words, and accepted Liu Rongzhi's reward with gratitude. Shen Cuo took the opportunity to ask the maid to lead her to meet Huzi, and stayed to deal with Liu Rongzhi himself.

"I think Rouge is smart and smart, and she is so steady at such a young age, no wonder you take her with you."

Looking at Yan Zhi's thin back, Liu Rongzhi sighed, "If it wasn't for her, you wouldn't have been able to rush back to the church in time to save your aunt. You should thank her."

It wasn't that Shen Cuo couldn't save himself at the beginning, but without Rouge, it would have been impossible to recover so quickly, and it took a few days to delay, and I don't know what happened. It would be better to say that she and Shen Yunpo were saved at the same time.

Because of this, Shen Cuo treated Rouge even more differently.

"You are right. She had a miserable life experience. I will take good care of her in the future."

Liu Rongzhi chuckled lightly, and said helplessly, "Are you taking care of the family or are they taking care of you? Would you be too embarrassed to let the savior be your maid? I think when we find her sister, let the three of them reunite." .”

Shen Cuo snorted coldly in his heart, thinking to himself that it really came.

"Her sister is not very old. If she finds me, she will take care of her. She saved me, and I helped her, and even helped her find her sister.

She worked as my buddy, I paid her wages, she warmed my bed, I taught her to read and write, and I didn't treat her harshly.That's fair enough, isn't it? "

Liu Rongzhi sighed softly: "You still need a little girl to warm your bed."

Shen Cuo pouted, and said unhappily: "Jie Yu Baiquan has learned and commanded orders, if you don't leave any of them to me, what can I do?

If you share the bed with your aunt, you should know that the body temperature of our people who practice "Xuan Shang Wu Jing Tian Gang Sutra" is lower than ordinary people, how can we not have someone who warms the bed around us? "

"Then your aunt has a bed warming maid by her side all these years?"

Shen Cuo didn't hear the meaning behind Liu Rongzhi's words, so he took it for granted: "That's natural..."

The smile on Liu Rongzhi's face gradually faded: "Since that's the case, I'm relieved."

Shen Cuo didn't know what Liu Rongzhi was worried about, but when he mentioned Shen Yunpo, he immediately thought of his dear aunt, and didn't have the heart to think about anything else.

"By the way, where is aunt?"

Liu Rongzhi changed from his previous gentleness, kindness and approachability, and said coldly, "She got some cold from walking in the snow yesterday, I let her rest in the house."

Shen Cuo was surprised and anxious: "How can my aunt suffer from the cold? How is she now? I'm going to see her."

"The imperial doctor said it's nothing serious, just rest for a few days and you'll be fine."

"Then I..."

"You just arrived today, why don't you go and settle down first. This time I called Bai Quan and others back, so you can catch up. Your aunt will be taken care of by me, so you don't have to worry."

"But auntie—"

Shen Yunpo lost all his martial arts due to hysteria, but his internal energy is still strong, so it should be invulnerable to all poisons and diseases.Shen Cuo intuited that Liu Rongzhi was deceiving himself, but he couldn't refute it.

"Since you have come back, you can always see your aunt, so why rush at this moment? Yanzhi is new here, and she is not familiar with the place, so you should comfort her first."

As Liu Rongzhi said, he stood up, and there was a maid next to him to lead the way for Shen Cuo.

Shen Cuo frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go see Jianyu first, and ask my mother to take good care of my aunt."

"Um……"

Shen Cuo bid farewell to Liu Rongzhi, and after following the maid out of the main hall, his face completely sank.

What she was worried about was not that Liu Rongzhi lied to her that Shen Yunpo was sick, but that Shen Yunpo was really sick.

Possessing the true qi of Tiangang, Shen Cuo has never had any illness since he was a child, not to mention that Shen Yunpo, who has deeper inner strength than her, will be infected with wind and cold.

What if there were some sequelae left when he committed suicide?

She was worried all the way, and unknowingly followed the maid back to her residence.Before entering the yard, she heard a burst of laughter.

These familiar voices made her feel a little better, and she finally let go of her worries first—several people returned to the Princess Mansion earlier than her, so why not ask them how they are doing first.

There were six people in the courtyard, besides Yan Zhi and Hu Zi, there were four young and beautiful maids, either standing or sitting, talking around them.

A girl wearing lake green clothes, round face, big eyes, and dimples on her cheeks stood in front of Yanzhi and asked with a smile, "Your name is Yanzhi, did you get it from the young master? I heard that you run a grocery store, do you want to buy it?" You have come up with a lot of good ideas, can you tell me how you came up with it?"

"Bai Quan, why do you ask these questions as soon as people come here, be careful that the young master will scold you later."

Another woman sitting on the stone bench was dressed as a white-clothed scholar, with delicate features, especially peach eyes, and scolded with a smile.

"Aren't you just asking questions, why does the young master only scold me?"

"I care about Rouge and the young master, you care about business, how can it be the same?"

"You obviously saw his little food tube at a glance, and you said you cared about the young master."

"Didn't the young master do that?"

"I think you just like seeing novelty things yourself."

"Don't you like it?"

Xie Yu was taking care of Huzi, and when he heard the two quarreling, he said helplessly, "Okay, if you two continue to quarrel, the young master will really talk about you when he comes later."

"I don't think it will take a while, the young master has already arrived."

The last woman in Taoist robes sitting opposite the female scholar said with a smile.
