"Meng Se, do you really want to do this? Today is Mrs. Shen's birthday. If we offend you, that's not it."
"Mommy, I have no other choice. We finally had the opportunity to enter the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and finally met Lord Shen. How could we lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
"However, Miss Shen invited us to play and sing in the mansion out of pity for us. If she knew that we had ulterior motives, she would definitely drive us out."
"Miss Shen is well-educated, reasonable, and compassionate. She knows that we have difficulties, and she will definitely not blame us."
"Mengse, in fact, it's okay if we go to Dali Temple to see Mr. Shen, why do we have to stay at Shen's house?"
"It's useless even if we go to Dali Temple to report the case. Didn't we go to Jingzhao Mansion to report the case? It's been seven or eight days, and there is no news at all."
The two women stood behind the house, covered by flowers and trees, quite concealed, but their voices were a bit loud, and Murong Ci could hear them clearly.
She walked over lightly and saw the young woman wearing a light pink dress and the older nun wearing a maroon dress. She was thinking, what is the matter with Shen Zhiyan? Could it be a murder case
The two men were about to come out when they finished speaking, when they suddenly saw a person standing beside them, they were startled and backed away unconsciously.
The nanny patted her chest and murmured, "Oh, I was so scared that I lost all my souls."
The young woman calmed down a bit, lowered her eyebrows and bowed her eyes, "It's the little girl's fault to bother you, sir."
"You are looking for Mr. Shen?" Murong Ci asked coldly.
"No, no, we were invited by Eldest Miss Shen to sing a song for Mrs. Shen's birthday, son, let's prepare first." The nun pulled the young woman away quickly.
The young woman was reluctant, and looked back, but couldn't stand the nun's tugging.
Murong Ci laughed and walked forward, the woman named Meng Se had a good appearance, elegant and refined, three points more beautiful than the Lan sisters, her temperament was even better, gentle and generous, like a pure and delicate hibiscus.
What did the girl want to do with Shen Zhiyan
The birthday banquet hadn't even started yet, and she was strolling in the garden admiring the flowers, while waves of honored guests in the front yard came to celebrate her birthday, making it lively and joyous.
Standing beside her grandmother, Shen Zhili looked out from time to time, as if a small flame was burning in her heart, anxious, nervous, and worried that she twisted the silk handkerchief unconsciously, betraying her anxiety of waiting for the arrival of her sweetheart.
Suddenly, a notification sound came from the gate: "The Royal King is here!"
Immediately, she was ecstatic in her heart, her tense body relaxed, and there were joyful smiles on the corners of her eyes, eyebrows, and lips.
he finally came
She knew the king would come
She couldn't wait to take a look at the sweetheart she was thinking of, but the reservedness and elegance of everyone made her stay where she was.
There were quite a few people standing inside and outside the hall, civil and military ministers, female relatives, etc. Everyone was looking forward to the scene of the royal king presenting his birthday gift.
Soon, Shen Zhili saw the man whom he cared about day and night walk in, as if a god descended from the nine heavens, the spacious hall instantly became cramped.
The sky and the earth were eclipsed, and the sun and the moon could not compete with him for glory.
She stared at him obsessively, clenched her hands tightly, her heart was pounding, and she couldn't restrain her excitement.
No matter when and where, Yu Wang is the one who attracts everyone's attention, has an intimidating demeanor, and looks down upon all living beings
Everyone bowed and saluted, Murong Yu stood in the middle of the hall, catching everyone's attention.
"You are welcome."
The voice is deep and bright, and the demeanor is overwhelming.
Shen Zhili helped his grandmother up to salute, he hurriedly said: "Madam, you don't need to be too polite, you can just sit down."
Old Mrs. Shen sat down unceremoniously, and smiled kindly, "The old man is not polite, so please take care of me, my lord."
Murong Yu waved his hand, and the attendant standing by the door stepped forward, offering birthday gifts with both hands.
"Old madam, this is a little wish from this king. I wish the old madam good luck and good health, and everything goes well."
"Thank you, my lord." She smiled, "My lord must have a few more drinks at the birthday banquet."
"That's for sure." He bowed his hands as a respect to the old man, "Lady, my king will go around first."
"Okay, okay. My lord, why don't you let the old granddaughter take you around the back garden."
"Old lady, please be polite. I, Wang Suxi, will walk alone."
After finishing speaking, Murong Yu calmly turned and left.
Old Mrs. Shen's face froze, she was quite embarrassed, but she is someone who has seen big wind and waves, so this little bit of embarrassment is nothing
On the other hand, Shen Zhili next to her, who had a soft smile at first, had solidified into a stiff dried flower, dim and dull.
She was originally elated, thinking that she could finally walk side by side with him in an open and honest manner, but she didn't expect this to be the result.
why is he so hard hearted
Those female family members all knew the meaning of Old Madam Shen's words, but the wishful thinking of the Shen family was afraid that it would be in vain.
Therefore, many noble ladies were secretly happy, and those ladies from aristocratic families suddenly felt that they had hope.
Seeing those eyes watching jokes, Shen Zhili's heart fell to the bottom, and it seemed to fall into an ice cellar, the cold air surged upwards, and his hands and feet were cold.
Seeing her beloved granddaughter with tears in her eyes, Mrs. Shen couldn't help feeling distressed, and patted her
Little hand, "You are tired too, go and have a rest."
Shen Zhili swallowed back the tears swirling in his eyes, and smiled slightly, "Grandmother, I'm not tired, I'll go to the backyard to see how the birthday banquet preparations are going."
The flower garden in Taifu Mansion is quite large. There is an exquisite but dangerous and steep rockery. There is a five-cornered gazebo on the rockery. A bronze wind chime hangs from one corner of the gazebo. The wind blows, jingling and melodious.
No one came here on this rockery, Murong Ci sat in the pavilion with his eyes closed and rested, feeling contented.
The cold wind is blowing, a little cold, brushing against the cheeks and fingertips, but it has a different feeling. In addition, the scenery here is excellent, and it is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, it is a resort for meditation.
Just as she was leaning on the vermilion cylinder and wandering in the sky, she suddenly noticed something moving, and immediately opened her eyes
A close-up, magnified snowy face
She was so frightened that her heart missed a beat and she almost fell.
Murong Yu supported her and sat beside her, "Seeing me so excited"
"Didn't you say you can't come?" Murong Ci stood up uncomfortably, three steps away from him.
"I've changed my mind, can't I?" He stood up and looked around the whole house. "This place has a wide view and a great view. You really know how to pick a place."
"It's not a good place when you come here," she muttered.
"What did you say"
"The birthday banquet will start soon, and Ben Gong is leaving."
"Your Highness, I will be where you are." Murong Yu walked towards her, his voice was low, as if his chest was shaking.
Murong Ci chose a difficult downhill road with jagged rocks and ups and downs. Hearing his words, for some reason, she lost her footing, slipped again, and fell straight down, breaking out in a cold sweat .
However, someone snatched it up quickly, grabbing her wide sleeves with long arms, and tugged hard.
She felt the whole person soaring into the air, and then her waist tightened, and an arm wrapped around him. She hugged him instinctively, and then spun around in mid-air. They were so close, she seemed to hear his heartbeat, and saw His snowy face was full of nervousness and worry, and seeing those deep black bottomless eyes
Finally, she landed slowly.
Murong Yu did not let go, but hugged her even tighter.
She didn't struggle either, she wrapped her arms around his shoulders like clay sculptures and wood carvings.
Time stands still, the picture freezes
Under the rockery, Shen Zhili happened to pass by, raised his head inadvertently, and saw the scene of King Yu saving the prince.
She frowned slightly, why is this scene so weird
Why didn't Yu Wang let go immediately
why did they stare at each other for so long
what on earth is it
Her mind was in a mess, full of chaotic questions.
It would be great if the person who was saved was her.
On the rockery, Murong Yu chuckled wickedly, "A Ci, you are so careless, teach me how to be at ease."
Murong Ci broke free in a panic, his cheeks, which were as white as jade, were flushed with blush, the beauty was full of spring, and the clouds were blooming.
Seeing her go down, he followed.
And Shen Zhili under the rockery quickly found a hidden place to hide.
After watching for a while, Yu Wang and the prince walked towards the front yard one after the other, and there was no suspicious behavior.
She walked out slowly, her brows were tightly frowned, and she couldn't figure it out. Could it be that the scene on the rockery where Yu Wang was just saving the prince and had no other meaning
Murong Yu walked slowly, keeping a distance of four steps from Murong Ci in front, because he sensed someone nearby.
The male guest's birthday banquet was held in the front yard, and Murong Ci was the crown prince with a distinguished status, so he naturally sat at the main table.
After she sat down, she asked Shen Zhiyan to sit next to her, and said in a low voice, "Did your sister invite a kabuki into the house to sing?"
He was surprised, then seemed to remember, and said: "It seems to be the case. What's the matter?"
"It's nothing. I will go to the backyard to listen to the music later."
"His Royal Highness actually has such a preference"
"It's okay to listen to it in your spare time."
"My lord, please take a seat here."
She shook her whole body, and turned her head hesitantly to look at Shen Qingtong who was sitting next to her, Shen Zhiyan's father, who stood up at this moment, and with a gesture of his hand, invited Yu Wang to sit down.
Shen Qingtong is the chief seat. Although he is the master, it is understandable to give it to the noble and powerful Yuwang.
Murong Yu sat down majestically and pressed his hands together, "Sit down, everyone."
Murong Ci looked hopeless, wishing he could kick him out of Taifu's residence.
He thought that if he sat next to Shen Qingtong and pulled Shen Zhiyan to the other side, he wouldn't be sitting next to Murong Yu, but he made a mistake after all calculations.
Murong Yu leaned towards her and whispered softly in her ear: "Your Highness, your wishful thinking has come to nothing."
When the civil and military ministers saw this scene, some were amazed, some were full of doubts, and some were puzzled. When did the Yuwang and the crown prince become so close
Although in the previous palace banquet, Yu Wang and the prince also sat together in the same case, and there were moments of intimacy, but this time it was different, Yu Wang was smiling, as if he still had a feeling of pampering and tenderness.
