He has not lived enough

These noble ladies are either bright and charming or gentle and delicate, standing next to the Empress Dowager Shen, all of them are top-notch and outstanding.

Even rarer is the bath

These noble ladies are either bright and charming or gentle and delicate, standing next to the Empress Dowager Shen, all of them are top-notch and outstanding.

What's even more rare is that when the Empress Dowager Shen asked them, they were all generous, advancing and retreating properly, and did not show the slightest pettiness.

Shen's mother looked quietly and felt that everyone was good, but in a blink of an eye, she saw that her son with elm bumps didn't even look this way, and her teeth itched with hatred.

Zhao Ke held back for a long time and couldn't speak, and said with a playful smile at this moment: "Isn't that right, those of us who are married are getting old every year, Brother Yu and Brother He are just young and vigorous, so we should be more familiar with them." It's right for the little ladies to get along with each other.

What he said was quite indecent, hearing the ladies blushed, Shen He also glanced at Zhao Ke with a cold expression.

Zhao Yu pressed his hand calmly, and was about to say something to divert the conversation away, when he saw the two little princesses next to the first princess eager to go out to play, humming and coquettish to attract everyone's attention.

The first concubine hurriedly reprimanded them in a low voice, and then confessed: "My son and minister are ineffective in teaching, and the empress mother forgives me."

"Don't hold them back, you are just being too strict with them."

Empress Dowager Shen lovingly raised her hand to let the two little princesses come over. One is seven years old and the other is five years old. They are all cute in powder and jade. The two pairs of grape-like eyes looked at Empress Dowager Shen, Zhao Yu and Shen He. .

Seeing the two little fans, Shen He couldn't help teasing them, and stretched out his hand and said, "Come on, give uncle a hug."

As a result, the two were so frightened that one hugged Queen Mother Shen's arm, and the other threw herself into Zhao Yu's arms.

Zhao Yu was suddenly caught by a soft ball, and he didn't know where to put his hands. After reacting, he carefully supported the little girl's shoulders.

Shen He withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and heard the childish voice of the little princess in Zhao Yu's arms complaining: "This uncle is beautiful, and that uncle is scary!"

For a moment, everyone couldn't help laughing, the first princess hurriedly pulled the little princess from Zhao Yu's arms, and she reluctantly tugged on Zhao Yu's sleeve before letting go.

Shen's mother didn't miss any chance to make things difficult for her son: "You deal with knives and guns all year round, and you don't have the air of a nobleman in your whole body. If I saw you standing there like Heita Mountain suddenly, I would be shocked. , and you are so funny little princess, you forgot that when you were a child, you treated Your Majesty as a little princess and were disliked..."

"Ahem..." Shen He is no longer needed, Shen's father hastily interrupted his wife with a dry cough, and then gave her desperate looks at those little ladies who covered their mouths and held back their laughter, Shen's mother remembered today's purpose, He swallowed the rest of the words abruptly.

The first concubine hurriedly came to smooth things over: "Ahe has already made great military achievements at a young age, so he is naturally different from the young master who has never been on the battlefield. It is precisely because of this that he has a manly spirit."

Several ladies also quietly looked at Shen He's appearance and stature. This legendary son of the Duke of Zhenguo is indeed quite different from the common pampered sons in Beijing. Great prestige.

Naturally, some of them also looked at Zhao Yu. These ladies who were selected by the Queen Mother Shen were naturally good-looking, and they were quite confident in themselves. Shengsheng made these ladies feel dejected.

One of the ladies pinched the handkerchief after seeing Zhao Yu's face clearly. She subconsciously glanced to the side, then quickly withdrew her gaze, and bowed her head slightly like other noble ladies.

Empress Dowager Shen looked at Shen He who had never said a word, sighed secretly, got up and said: "Okay, the children are eager to go out to play, let's not just sit around, since it is a flower viewing feast, we should go out for a stroll .”

She gave Shen's father and Shen's mother a calm look, and said to Zhao Yu: "The Ai family wants to talk to your sister, aunt, and the others, you young people go shopping by yourself."

After finishing speaking, he led the Shen family's parents and the princess son-in-law out together, Zhao Ke shook his eyebrows at Zhao Yu and followed.

Zhao Yu had to be forced to open the business, and said to the ladies: "You don't have to be restrained, you can enjoy it in the palace as much as you want."

All the noble ladies agreed, so Zhao Yu and Shen He went out together.

"call--"

After leaving the gate of the palace, Zhao Yu let out a long breath. This kind of social occasion is what he is least good at, let alone this kind of scene where relatives' gathering and blind date are combined.

Shen He was also relieved, and he said that the old lady felt as if she had been beaten early this morning. It turned out that it was no use urging him at home, and she turned to ask her aunt for help.

Zhao Yu saw that there were still a lot of people around, and a few noble ladies still glanced here intentionally or unintentionally, so they lost their minds about admiring the flowers, and turned left and right with Shen He to the corridor at the back of the hall.

The promenade was also decorated with colorful flowers, and there was an inconspicuous bamboo pavilion at the corner. Seeing that no one noticed this place, the two of them went in.

The pavilion is surrounded by hanging flowers and vines, which are separated from the outside world like a rain curtain. Stepping under it is like entering another independent and quiet space.

A gust of wind blew, bringing with it a fragrance mixed with fresh branches and leaves, and the two relaxed and looked at each other, smiling helplessly.

"I only found out about this a few days ago. You left in a hurry yesterday and didn't have time to say..."

There were scented teas and fruits placed in the booth, Zhao Yu picked up the tea and drank a couple of sips, and explained earnestly: "But the queen mother was looking for these ladies because she was anxious about her aunt, and she said that if you want to, just look at each other, no Just be willing, don’t take it to heart.”

Empress Dowager Shen also understands her nephew's temperament, so she didn't publicize it with great fanfare this time, but invited these noble girls here in the name of appreciating flowers. reputation.

Shen He knew that Zhao Yu was afraid of being dissatisfied with this matter, so he smiled wryly: "Don't worry, Ah Yu, I know they are doing it for my own good, this matter...they did nothing wrong, and neither did I, it's just that their positions are different."

Zhao Yu was silent.

In the past, he would definitely comfort him, but after what happened last night, if things really went as Zhao Yu expected, he would have no position to persuade him.

"If you have to blame someone, you can only blame my lack of ability."

Shen He crossed his arms and sat leaning against the railing. He seemed to be looking at Zhao Yu, and also seemed to look beyond him into the distance, feeling a little depressed.

"Actually, I am very envious of Bai Qingyu. He is right. Now that he is the head of the Bai family, he can indeed bear the title. He can stabilize the government and protect the Bai family. What does he want to do? I can bear the consequences, but I am now... still far away."

Zhao Yu's lips moved, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only step forward and pat him on the shoulder to comfort him.

Shen He looked up at him, but because of his posture, he was shorter than the standing Zhao Yu, his eyes were clear and sad, which was quite different from his usual appearance, and it also made Zhao Yu feel sore.

It shouldn't be like this.

Shen He is a high-spirited young general, a galloping cavalier, he shouldn't have such an expression.

The distance between the two was so close, Zhao Yu realized that his face was hot, closed his eyes and stepped back, but Shen He got up first and grabbed him, calling urgently: "Ayu... "

The cautiousness in his tone made Zhao Yu's heart soften, and he paused in his steps to leave.

Zhao Yu's stay seemed to encourage him, and Shen He raised his fingertips to carefully trace the beautiful face he had been thinking about day and night, and finally stopped on his lips to caress gently.

Zhao Yu's breathing was stagnant for a moment. According to his years of experience in watching dramas, the next step is to...

However, Shen He's face blushed again and again, and he didn't continue to take the next step, but just repeated the action just now.

Zhao Yu went from being overwhelmed at the beginning to being numb at the end. Finally, he covered his mouth and backed away, unable to laugh or cry.

Shen He's hands froze in the air, and he shrank back aggrieved for a long while.

Zhao Yu regretted seeing his injured expression, and tried to explain dryly: "I haven't been drinking enough water lately, and my mouth is sore. I'm afraid I'll hurt your fingers..."

It's okay if he didn't explain. Shen He, who was a little disappointed by this explanation, endured and endured, but finally couldn't hold back the side face from the corner of his mouth and let out a muffled laugh, and the atmosphere just now was completely blown away.

After laughing enough, Shen He circled the embarrassed Zhao Yu, bowed his head and kissed his lips without any hesitation, but Zhao Yu didn't react the whole time, and stood there like a groundhog with his eyes wide open from the beginning to the end.

It wasn't until Shen He left his lips and whispered in his ear with a smile: "Ah Yu is very soft and sweet", that Zhao Yu belatedly covered her mouth, croaking in her head like a toad in a meeting, turning into a mess.

Although Shen He was the one who took the initiative, the blush on his face and rolling Adam's apple revealed his nervousness, but he still continued seriously: "I have a crush on Ayu, and I have been like this since I was a child. That's how I've always treated you."

"Ayu, do you have any liking for me?"

Zhao Yu's flustered heart suddenly turned cold.

That's right, what Shen He likes is the Zhao Yu who grew up with him, not the person he replaced halfway.

They have only been together for a few months, how can it be worth more than ten years of friendship?

If Shen He knew his identity, maybe he would be beheaded with a sword.

And even if he didn't know it, he was the one who was going to leave after all.

Thinking about this clearly, Zhao Yu's heart felt a dull pain.

No matter how well he did, to Shen He, he probably couldn't compare to the original owner.

It's better not to get involved with people and things in this world.

After saying those words, Shen He looked at Zhao Yu anxiously, but saw that he was silent and his face turned pale.

After a long time, Zhao Yu said in a low voice: "You are my cousin and the only son of the Shen family. It has been like this in the past, and it will always be like this in the future."

Slowly releasing Zhao Yu, the light in Shen He's eyes dimmed little by little.

"I understand."

He forced a smile: "This is my extravagant dream. I should be content to be able to return to Ayu's side again. I am too greedy."

Zhao Yu didn't know what to say for a moment, Su Shun came over from the corridor at this time, looked in and said: "Your Majesty is here, the luncheon is ready, the Queen Mother invites you and General Shen to go over."
