Back to Qianqiuyuan, it was already the tip of the moon.

Shen Mian hadn't had sex with anyone for a long time, and she finally had a meat session, but it wasn't enough fun.

But he is also content, in the end, he commits crimes against the wind, so it is not good to go too far.

After returning, he locked himself in the house and covered up the traces on his body with makeup to avoid being discovered by Yuncheng.

However, he soon realized that this was superfluous, because for several days in a row, Yuncheng did not come to Qianqiu Courtyard, and even went to Shou'an Courtyard to say hello, deliberately avoiding Shen Mian.

Shen Mian is not in a hurry, she is still cultivating herself in the Qianqiu Courtyard every day, making a well-behaved, upright Princess Cheng.

He waited to see what tricks Yuncheng was playing.

Another half a month passed, and there were rumors in Beijing that King Cheng often hangs around Fireworks and Willow Lane, has a special liking for the number one dancer in Shangjing, Miss Liu Xu, and invites people back to his residence to sing and sing every night.

Hearing this rumor, the old concubine couldn't sit still, and called Shen Mian to drink tea, in fact, to appease and comfort her.

The always kind old concubine blushed at this moment, patted the table, and said angrily: "Ridiculous! It's a bunch of nonsense!"

She took Shen Mian's hand and said: "The rumors outside are becoming more and more incomprehensible, you don't care if you don't listen, Cheng'er has a temper like that, now in her 20s, she doesn't even have a housemate, and the military is busy with affairs, how can there be such a thing?" When I have free time, I will find some dancers, but it's just a show."

Shen Mian nodded, reluctantly replied: "What mother said is that the prince always wants to take concubines, and the palace also needs a young son."

The old concubine was very grateful for his sensibility, but she said: "What are you talking about? The little prince is certainly important, but the concubine has only been in the door for less than half a year, and she has always been respectful and virtuous. The matter of taking a concubine will always take two or three years." Bring it up again next year, this bit of decency is what Cheng'er should give you."

Shen Mian lowered her eyes, concealing the sarcasm in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, mother, for your understanding."

In fact, he was very clear that the old concubine was on his side because she disliked the fact that the dancer could not be on the stage. If Yuncheng wanted to accept an official girl as a side concubine today, she would probably turn around and persuade him to be sensible. up.

The old concubine took a sip of her tea and said, "My good boy, although the rumors outside are not credible, it's a wake-up call for you."

Shen Mian showed confusion, and said, "I also ask mother to enlighten me."

"Mother knows that you are high-spirited. I have heard about your reputation in Shangjing before. Everyone praised you as 'beautiful jade', with both ability and political integrity. Now that you are married as a male wife, you will inevitably feel wronged. But since you have entered the I have become the gate of the palace and Cheng'er's main concubine, so I should have the self-consciousness of being a wife."

Seeing that Shen Mian didn't answer, she put on a kind look again and persuaded: "Mother doesn't want you to work hard to please Chenger, but this cup of ginseng tea and a bowl of sweet soup are always given away. If you care about Cheng'er, he will get close to you and won't be fascinated by the foxes outside."

After having tea with the old lady, it was getting late when I came out of the Shou'an Courtyard.

The weather has turned cold recently, Shen Mian gathered her outer shirt, thinking about what the old concubine said, she frowned slightly.

He didn't bother to do work to please others, but since the old lady said it, if he didn't do it, he might be taught a lesson by her later.

What's more, he has left Yuncheng in the air for long enough, it's time to reel up.

He looked back and said to Nanny Shen, "Go to the kitchen."

Shen Momo was startled when she heard the words, and said: "The young master listened to the concubine's words and wanted to make ginseng soup for the prince?"

Shen Mian nodded.

Mother Shen hurriedly said: "If you can't do it, you can't do it. As the saying goes, 'Gentlemen stay away from the kitchen', there is no reason to let the young master do the cooking himself, just order the servants to do it, and when the young master delivers it himself, it is considered as having done his duty. "

Shen Mian pondered for a while, then said softly, "No problem."

It was only two short and cold words, but Nanny Shen knew that he had made up his mind, and no one else could stop him, so he had no choice but to agree and ask someone to lead the way.

***

Shen Mian's cooking skills are not bad, she used to live alone, so it was inevitable that she would make some food for herself.

But he is Shen Huai now, so he has to be a little "stupid".

The servants quickly prepared the ingredients, and Shen Mian picked up a piece of ginseng slices. His movements were very unfamiliar and a little clumsy. In anyone's eyes, this was a young master who didn't touch his fingers.

But seeing his finger slipping, the blade immediately cut on the pale fingertips, and the blood dripped on the chopping board, staining a small piece of red.

Shen Mian's strikes were measured, the wound was not deep, but the blood flowed very quickly, at first glance, it looked very frightening.

Just as she was about to call for someone, Nanny Shen already screamed and hurriedly called for someone to bandage him.

He was a noble man, and when he saw blood in the kitchen, the cooks were so frightened that their legs went limp, and they knelt on the ground to confess their sins.

Shen Mian raised her eyes, and said lightly, "Get up, it's my own carelessness, it has nothing to do with others."

Then everyone stood up tremblingly.

After the wound was bandaged, Shen Mian frowned and looked at her injured finger, picked up the knife again, and continued to cut ginseng slices.

Nanny Shen wiped away tears from the side, but she didn't dare to say much, she only pitied him from the bottom of her heart.

Now everyone in the palace knows that King Cheng is obsessed with dancers and treats the concubine coldly. He only pities their young master's infatuation and paid the wrong person.

After the ginseng soup was ready, Shen Mian tasted a bowl first, and it tasted good, so he asked someone to fill it up and sent it to Lan Yuan.

Shen Momo asked: "My lord, don't you personally send it to the prince?"

Shen Mian looked out the window, and there was a bright moon hanging in the sky. His eyes were a little confused, and he said lightly, "He doesn't want to see me, why should I bother."

Shen Momo hurriedly said: "This statement is wrong. What is so rare about ginseng soup, the most important thing is the wholeheartedness of the young master. You have put in so much effort, you should let the prince know."

Shen Mian was silent for a long time, but she bent her lips and said, "It's fine if he doesn't know."

He washed his hands and dried his fingers with a handkerchief. The simple movements he performed were indescribably elegant and beautiful, and everyone was stunned. They didn't come back to their senses until they had left.

Shen Momo took the ginseng soup from the maid and said, "I'll deliver it myself."

If it is handed over to someone casually, the prince will definitely think it was done by a servant in the kitchen after listening to it. Her son has his own heart, so who knows.

***

Lan courtyard.

Yuncheng drank by himself, and behind a white jade screen painted with gold, sat a slim and graceful woman, playing the qin leisurely with a pair of bare hands, the sound of the qin was melodious and melodious.

The guard pushed the door open and entered, saying: "My lord, Mother Shen in the wangfei's yard asked to see her, she said that the wangfei made ginseng soup and brought it here for the lord to taste."

Yuncheng's eyes flashed, and he said, "Let her in."

Mother Shen saluted respectfully, presented the ginseng soup, and said: "The prince has been working hard recently, and the princess is very worried, so I boiled this ginseng soup. I hope the prince will take care of himself."

Yuncheng lifted the lid of the cup, glanced at it, and said, "This soup is pretty good."

Shen Momo showed joy, and was about to say something nice for her master, but the man in the seat said coldly: "Liu Xu, this ginseng soup is for you."

A soft voice came from behind the screen: "I thank you, my lord, for your reward."

A beautiful woman turned out from behind the screen, dressed in a crimson purple butterfly narcissus dress, with a coquettish figure and almond eyes full of coquettishness, she sat on the man's lap and drank a spoonful of ginseng in his hand. Soup.

Shen Momo turned pale with shock, and said: "My lord, how can this be, this is the princess..."

Yuncheng interrupted her, with an impatient expression on his face, and said: "Since the soup has been delivered, Mammy should go back and report."

Nanny Shen was trembling with anger, but she was frightened by his power and did not dare to say more.

She endured it, and finally bowed her head and promised: "The old slave will retire."

After Shen Momo left, Yuncheng stood up suddenly, "Get lost."

The woman seemed to have gotten used to the two attitudes of others, so she bowed profusely and backed out.

***

For several days, Shen Mian still went to the kitchen every day to make ginseng soup and send it to Lan Yuan.

Mother Shen was in a state of distress, how dare she tell her master that those ginseng soups were eaten by a lowly slave, and the prince never touched them.

King Cheng wanted to humiliate the concubine on purpose. With his son's temper, if he knew the truth, he would be angry even if he was not sick.

But if she doesn't say it, someone else will.

Liu Xu knows how to measure, and she also knows that the rumors that King Cheng is fascinated by her are all false, so she dare not cause trouble.

But the girl serving her side lacks this exquisite heart.

On this day, Shen Mian greeted the concubine and came back. On the way, she happened to hear two maids whispering.

Since it was intended for him to hear, of course he had to listen carefully.

Shen Mian approached them, but heard the two people say that the ginseng soup that the princess sent to the prince was actually drunk by the catkin girl, and the princess was still kept in the dark, it's really pitiful.

Shen Mian was slightly taken aback.

Although he knew clearly, Yuncheng didn't know that he made it himself, he just thought that he had listened to the old concubine's words and made a bowl of ginseng soup to fool him, so he would definitely not have a good face.

This is exactly his purpose, because he didn't know, didn't cherish, and regretted it in the future, so there is a good show to watch.

It's just that he didn't expect that Yuncheng actually rewarded others with the soup he made himself.

For a lazy person like him, going to the kitchen is not an easy task.

Unexpectedly, it humiliated him so much.

He raised his eyes and asked, "What you said just now is true."

When the two girls saw him, they quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Greetings to the concubine, those words... those words are just hearsay, and the servants don't know the truth."

Shen Mian said "Oh", but said: "I don't know the truth, but I dare to gossip in the palace, it seems that I don't take the prince seriously, and I don't take me seriously."

He looked back and said, "Nurse, how should I deal with being disrespectful to the master?"

Shen Momo said with a straight face: "This servant who chews his tongue should be beaten twenty times and kicked out of the palace."

Those two maids were cowards, they did this because they took money from others, they didn't expect to be punished, so they confessed quickly.

"My lord, please forgive me, Hong'er next to Miss Liuxu instructed us."

"That's right, Hong'er said that the concubine will pass by at this time every day, let us wait here and tell the empress what she said."

Shen Mian said: "It doesn't matter who ordered it, I just ask whether what you just said is true or not."

The two maids saw that his face was as frosty and his aura was so cold that people's teeth were cold, so they didn't dare to speak the truth, they just knelt on the ground and confessed their sins over and over again.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Mian chuckled and said, "Forget it, if you don't dare to say it, I'll ask myself."

He turned around and walked towards Lan Yuan.

***

It was still early, and Yuncheng was still in the morning.

Shen Mian stepped into the Lan courtyard, but heard the sound of the piano, and in the small maple forest beside her, there was a beautiful woman dancing.

Shen Mian looked at it for a while, and said her heart was beating well.

He was about to go forward when a guard stopped him and said: "My lord, the lord has told me that when he is not around, no one is allowed to approach Miss Liuxu."

Shen Mian nodded slightly, and said, "It turns out that she is Miss Liuxu, and she is indeed outstanding."

His voice was cold, but there was an unmistakable self-mockery hidden in it.

The guard was bewildered by his appearance, so he couldn't help but soften his heart at this time, and persuaded in a low voice: "My lady, Miss Liuxu... After all, she is just a dancer, so don't worry about it too much, my lady."

Shen Mian said: "Of course I don't mind."

He looked at the guard, frowned slightly, and said: "I only have a few words with her, and I will leave after speaking, please accommodate me."

The guard's face became hot when he looked at him, and he thought that Liu Xu was so beautiful, the prince was really blind.

After a moment of stalemate, he finally let go.

Shen Mian thanked her and walked towards the dancing girl in the forest.

Liu Xu only heard that His Royal Highness Cheng Wang married a man, but she didn't know it was the young man in front of her. She only suspected that she hadn't woken up yet, otherwise how could she see such a fairy.

She stared at Shen Mian in a daze, and was woken up by Shen Momo's scolding: "Bold concubine, it's rude to see the princess!"

Liu Xu was startled when she heard this, and quickly knelt down.

Hong'er beside Liu Xu was also taken aback for a moment, she never thought that the princess is such a fairy-like figure, if she had known this, she would never have done such stupid things.

Shen Mian called out: "Excuse me."

It took the two of them a while to get up.

Shen Mian sat on the stone bench, picked up a fiery red maple leaf on the table, and said softly, "Young girl's dancing posture is really beautiful."

Liu Xu looked at his unrefined face, her cheeks flushed slightly, the young man seemed to be shrouded in a layer of glistening white light, even his voice was as clear and sweet as a spiritual spring.

She was pushed by Hong'er, and she finally came back to her senses, and hurriedly said: "Wangfei is too famous, and the servants are really afraid."

Shen Mian said: "You don't have to be nervous, I'm looking for you, I just want to prove one thing."

He frowned slightly, put the maple leaf in his palm, and looked far away. After a long time, he never said a word.

Liu Xu boldly said: "Princess Wangfei, I don't know what's going on?"

Shen Mian looked at him, and after a long time, she sighed softly, "The soup...how do you like it?"

Only then did Liu Xu remember that she drank all the soup that the concubine sent.

Her complexion suddenly became extremely ugly, and she wanted to kneel down to plead guilty, but it was Cheng Wang who asked her to drink. If she pleaded guilty, whether she would be blamed by Cheng Wang later, she couldn't make up her mind for a while.
