The Jingxin Hall was a bit less cold than in the past, when Shen Mubai went, these new ladies and eunuchs were hanging lanterns and red paper.
"See Princess Nine."
Shen Mubai asked them to lie flat, and asked, "Where is Fifth Brother?"
"Back to the princess, the fifth prince is reading a book inside." One of the maids replied.
Shen Mubai let them continue to work, and walked in with his things.
Wen Renli was indeed reading a book, and after not seeing him for a few months, he seemed to have grown a little taller again, his eyes were slightly lowered, and his expression was still as grave as usual.
Shen Mubai put the things on the table, "cough."
Wen Renxi raised his eyes, and when he saw her, he was slightly stunned.
Shen Mubai raised his chin, "Why, I haven't seen you for a few months, so you don't know the face of this princess anymore?"
"Ninth Sister." Wen Renli said, "Why are you here?"
His eyes lingered on the girl, and he only felt that the feeling of emptiness in his heart was replenished. An indescribable feeling, like the kind of yearning for the concubine mother, but it doesn't seem to be that way.
Shen Mubai said, "Can't I come? When you are a princess, how rare is your dilapidated palace?" She threw the things in front of people, "Take it, this princess will reward you."
The attitude can be said to be very annoying.
Wen Renji's eyes moved to the pile of oil bags, but he didn't speak.
"Why, you despise this princess's things?" Shen Mubai felt a little upset, although it was indeed her leftovers, but at least it was taken back to the palace from the capital with great pains and risk of being discovered.
"No." Wen Renli said, "This is the first time someone other than my concubine gave me something."
There was no emotion in his dark eyes, and there was no sense of loneliness and emotion in his words, he just stated all these lightly.
Shen Mubai couldn't guess what he was thinking for a while, so he changed the subject and said, "I saw they hung up lanterns outside the palace, so this year you lived like this?"
Wen Rensheng nodded, "Compared to previous years, it's much better."
..It's really no different from staying in the cold palace.
Shen Mubai thought for a while and said, "Then Princess Ben will be merciful and accompany you to eat for a while."
She's a little hungry to be honest.
The oil bag is full of the most delicious snacks in the capital, such as shortbread osmanthus cake, spring flower roll meat pie, once opened, there is a strong fragrance, which will hook people's appetite.
Shen Mubai sat with Wen Renli, she asked, "Have you ever been to the capital?"
Wen Renli was holding the meat pie given to him by the little princess in a daze at the moment, when he heard that he came back to his senses, he shook his head and said, "I stayed in this meditation hall with my concubine since I was a child."
Shen Mubai was a little speechless, she really couldn't see that Wen Renji had suffered so many difficulties and bullying since she was a child, didn't she feel any resentment or hatred in her heart. This is absolutely impossible, otherwise, those maids and eunuchs would not have disappeared in the meditation hall in a short period of time.
She didn't know how Wen Renji did it, maybe she borrowed the emperor's hand during that time, or some other method.
Not reconciled, not calm is right.
Shen Mubai breathed a sigh of relief, at least she doesn't have to worry, Wen Renji will not have her own place in the palace in the future, such a person only needs an opportunity, and in time, those who bullied him before will surely regret it.
"Ninth Sister." Wen Renli turned his face to stare at her.
Shen Mubai took a bite of the meatloaf, "Huh?"
