Rouge wrong

Shen Cuo followed Liu Rongzhi into the palace, while the Yanzhi siblings stayed in the Princess's mansion, under the care of Xie Yu and the others.

Rouge has always regarded herself as Shen Cuo's maid and buddy, and she has been serving and taking care of Shen Cuo dutifully when she was in Yanzhou, but she didn't expect to come to Beijing.

She has no other use than to warm the bed, and she is more of a guest than a maid.

The four elder sisters took good care of her, and the other maids and servants in the Princess's Mansion were also polite when they saw her, but she felt a little uncomfortable.

Rouge consciously came from a remote village, but thanks to her mother's elder sister's teachings, she understood some truths. I don't know what kind of fate met Shen Cuo, and her fate has completely changed since then.

She originally wanted to do her best to repay Shen Cuo, but she didn't realize until she came to the capital that even if she did her best, the so-called repayment was not worth mentioning to Shen Cuo.

"What's the matter, you seem to be absent-minded these days."

It was freezing cold outside, Yan Zhi spent most of her time in the study and followed the four of them to take turns reading and learning—today Wen Shi taught her the classics.

"I'm sorry, Sister Wenshi, I..."

After hearing about it soon, she will join Chunwei, and at this time, she would like to take the time to teach her to read, Yanzhi is very grateful.It's just that she is young after all, and she has things on her mind, so it is inevitable that she cannot concentrate.

Wen Shi put down the book, and said gently: "The young master praises you for being smart, but I know that you are hardworking and studious far beyond your talent. You are a very hardworking person. You have been distracted these days, what happened?"

Yan Zhi showed hesitation, Wen Shi smiled lightly, and comforted: "If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. It's just that you are still young, so you shouldn't be too worried.

Look at the young master, people who don't understand her think she is moody, but the others like me understand that she is the most open-minded and never keeps depression in her heart. "

Rouge thought of Shen Cuo, and a smile appeared on her small face: "Shopkeeper Shen is the most open-minded and casual person I have ever met."

Wen Shi nodded: "I, Si Ming and others often say that we should learn more from the young master in this respect."

Rouge listened thoughtfully, and didn't bother her with her knowledge, and waited quietly for a while.

"Sister Wenshi, I have received a lot of favors from shopkeeper Shen, but now I don't know how to repay her."

Wen Shi didn't expect that Yan Zhi was thinking about this, and sighed softly: "Which one of us among the four has not received the favor from the leader and the young master? In terms of repayment, it's not just in case, it's just doing what you can."

Yan Zhi's face was full of sorrow: "The four sisters are so powerful, but it's not enough, what should I do in the future?

Sister Xie Yu once asked me what my plans were for the future, and whether I was determined to always be by Shopkeeper Shen's side.

I have sold myself to Shopkeeper Shen, so naturally I want to stay by her side all the time.It's just that people like me can really follow Shopkeeper Shen? "

Although Yan Zhi didn't say it clearly, Wen Shi understood her concerns.

The four of them followed Shen Cuo since childhood and were trained as the right-hand men of the next leader.

They specialize in arts, and they have always performed their own duties. They have a different identity in Tianming Sect than ordinary believers.

If Rouge compares herself with them, she will inevitably feel pressured.

What's more, among them, there is a special interpretation.

The saints of Tianming Sect are not allowed to marry or have sex with men until the next generation of saints is selected, but it is not impossible to be contaminated with sex.

Therefore, since the establishment of the religion, there has been a tradition that a maid who will serve the saint's bed will be selected.

All four were candidates, but Shen Cuo stopped letting anyone other than Xie Yu warm the bed after he was 15 years old, so the bed attendant was decided.

Although Xie Yu is only in charge of Shen Cuo's basic necessities of life, not in charge of more affairs like the other three, his words are the most important among the four.

Wen Zhi not only let himself see her as a sister, but also as a half-master.

However, the appearance of Rouge created a crack in this default relationship, and also subtly changed the relationship between Wenzhi and Jieyu.

"Rouge, you may think that I am comforting you, but in my opinion, if you have such a heart for the young master, how can you not be qualified to follow the young master?

And I think the young master loves you very much, which is already commendable.Don't think she is kind to the four of us, but there are only a handful of people who really catch her eyes. You should have more confidence in yourself. "

Rouge pursed her lips and thought for a while, and finally sighed a little: "Actually, I understand that what Shopkeeper Shen values ​​is not how much I can give her in return. I am just afraid that I am not capable enough. to me..."

Wen Shi never thought that one day they would be separated from Shen Cuo, it's just that the world is unpredictable, and they didn't expect that the princess would be so persistent, and the plan of Tianmingjiao to withdraw from the Central Plains fell short.

Thinking about it now, only two or three years have passed since then, and she actually feels that the days she lived with the young master are like the past.

These thoughts of the little girl in front of me seem a bit unfounded now, but who can predict the future?

"It's always good to plan ahead. I can't answer these things for you, but you can start looking for them yourself from now on. I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to find the best answer."

Rouge showed regret, but still nodded seriously.Wen Shi thought she was a bit like Xie Yu when she was a child, but now she feels that the two are completely different.

"You just said the explanation and asked if you are determined to follow the young master forever?"

Rouge thought for a while, and after making sure that Xie Yu didn't ask her to keep it a secret, she nodded honestly.

Wen Shi frowned slightly: "Did she say anything else to you? You... If it's inconvenient, you can leave it alone."

"Besides these, sister Xie Yu didn't say anything special, she just told me to take good care of shopkeeper Shen, and told me a lot of shopkeeper Shen's habits and preferences."

Xieyu never took care of Shen Cuo in the past, and Shen Cuo was also very dependent on her, and he didn't like to leave personal affairs to others.

It's just that the appearance of Rouge completely subverted this situation, so the reaction of Wenshi and Baiquan that day was so huge.

Although they didn't think that Shen Cuo would do anything to the young Yanzhi, it was already unusual for them to be willing to let Yanzhi warm the bed and serve her personally.

She always thought that among the four, only Xie Yu was irreplaceable to the young master.

But judging from the recent situation, the young master's closeness to Rouge has begun to surpass Xie Yu.

"Jieyu has always valued the young master the most..."

Wenzhi said in a low voice as if talking to himself, feeling a little heavy in his heart.Xie Yu's intentions for the young master are obvious to all, but does the young master have the same thoughts?

And what is Xie Yu's plan when he said this to Rouge?

"Sister Wenshi, can I ask you another question?"

Rouge has discussed with Wen Shi about things other than knowledge today, so she wants to ask all the doubts she has recently.Among the few people, the knowledge is the most knowledgeable, so it is most appropriate to ask her.

"Huh? You can ask..."

Rouge pursed her lips and lowered her voice subconsciously.

"What do you think of the matter of splitting peaches and breaking sleeves?"

This year's family banquet hosted by the emperor was very grand. Not only the prince who had been named king, but also the married princess and eldest princess all attended the dinner with their families.

All the clan members were present, and they were well aware of the purpose of this dinner.The daughter of Princess Xinyang has been found for several years, but due to various reasons, she has not been given the identity she deserves.

Last year, she worked together to handle several major cases in the south of the Yangtze River. I think the emperor and the eldest princess wanted to use this as an opportunity to let her return in a legitimate way.

Since this is the purpose, Shen Cuo naturally received the most attention, and countless eyes fell on her either covertly or undisguisedly, but she didn't seem to notice it.

Shen Cuo sat with several unmarried princesses and princesses, including Jingcheng and Liangxiang.The two sat beside Shen Cuo, one on the left and the other on the right, but their expressions were different.

Jingcheng and Shen Cuo are unhappy with each other and have nothing to say, but Liangxiang has a good impression of Shen Cuo. He not only takes the initiative to talk to her, but also enthusiastically introduces other sisters to her.

Shen Cuo is the daughter of Xinyang. Except for His Majesty's children, there is no princess or king who is more noble than her.

What's more, Shen Cuo was born beautiful, and her temperament was very different from that of ordinary noble girls, so these princesses were very enthusiastic.

The princesses and princesses of the Yan Dynasty seldom stayed in the boudoir without understanding affairs, and most of them were outgoing and sociable.Liangxiang is quite popular among the sisters, and the scene is very lively for a while.

Shen Cuo was over [-] years old and still unmarried, and the princesses and princesses present were all younger than her, and the voices of calling her sister kept coming and going.

It's a pity that Shen Cuo had a cold face, and the other sisters shouted quickly, but she just agreed a few times casually, without any intention of communicating.

Shen Cuo's reaction not only extinguished everyone's enthusiasm, but also scared the youngest princess Jiaxing among them.

The seven-year-old princess was cast a cold look by Shen Cuo, and the "sister" in her mouth began to cry.

Shen Cuo didn't intend to make faces with others to embarrass others.It's purely that I have nothing to say to these princesses and princesses, and I think their speeches are too childish and boring.

What's more important is that Shen Yunpo didn't attend the dinner party. Shen Cuo looked at the excitement of the court, and thought of his aunt being alone, how could he care about others?

It's just that Jiaxing looked like he was about to cry, and the atmosphere on the table immediately became a little different.

Jingcheng is usually a thoughtful person, but he doesn't know if he and Shen Cuo are born at odds, and have disliked each other from the very beginning of meeting.

Today is the first time for Shen Cuo to attend the family banquet of the clan, and Jing Chengyuan didn't want to argue with her.

Unexpectedly, at this age, this guy didn't have the slightest sense of being an older sister, which scared Jiaxing to tears.

"What are you doing to scare Jiaxing?"

Shen Cuo didn't expect that the little princess would cry whenever she wanted to, and looked at Jingcheng inexplicably.

"What have I done?"

Although she is impatient with children, she also doesn't like to bully the weak, so she can't pretend that she didn't hear Jing Cheng's words.

The other princesses didn't dare to say anything to Shen Cuo, but Jingcheng was a princess, or the daughter of a queen, with a detached status, so naturally he was not afraid of Shen Cuo.

"Can't you be kinder? Although it's the first time we meet, but we are sisters after all. Everyone wants to get along with you in harmony. Your reaction is too cold."

What annoys Shen Cuo the most is hypocrisy and arrogance, for Shen Yunpo and Liu Rongzhi to get along "harmoniously" is already her limit.

"You mean, I have to pretend to be happy even when I'm unhappy?"

As soon as she said this, the faces of the princesses and princesses became a little stiff. Jiaxing realized that the tense atmosphere was caused by him, so he held back tears nervously and dared not say a word.

"you--"

Jingcheng didn't expect that there are people in the world who really don't understand people - what kind of teaching did Shen Cuo receive to be like himself?
