Shen Xihe stood aside, watching her bend down and about to bow, and quickly coughed lightly to stop her from exposing herself!
"Does Prince Bu think of himself as a girl?" The sharp-eyed young man of the Tao family immediately joked.
No one suspected Bu Shulin, because her words and actions on a daily basis did not resemble that of a girl at all.
Bu Shulin also reacted very quickly. He knelt down and kowtowed, saying auspicious words. After completing the ceremony, he said, "This is all thanks to the princess. Every time I express my feelings to her, the princess always says that she treats me the same as Xue Qiniang. I almost doubt that I am a girl because of her words..."
Everyone burst into laughter after hearing this. Shen Xihe did not expose him, and Tao Zhuanxian gave him a red envelope like all the younger generations.
She took it and went even further, saying to Tao Zhuanxian: "Mr. Tao, you must go easy on my men next year."
She was the person at the top of the Censorate's list, even if Shen Xihe came to Kyoto. Before Shen Xihe arrived, she was listed with dozens of crimes by the Censorate every month!
"Next year the prince will be one year older and will be crowned soon, so it's time for him to get dressed properly." Tao Zhuanxian was different only with Shen Xihe. He always lectured others like a teacher.
Bu Shulin felt embarrassed and slipped away, rubbing his nose.
There is no rest on the New Year's Eve. After Shen Xihe and his family had fun together, they returned to their own courtyard and called Biyu and the others to come over. The fun between master and servant did not last long, as the short-lived one, who was forced to wear a little red hat by Biyu, started to cry first.
Not long after, a slender figure appeared at the door, and Biyu and the others immediately became reserved.
Shen Xihe was not surprised. She had previously guessed that this unscrupulous crown prince was not a polite person. He had even broken into her boudoir, so he might not be a well-behaved person today. Sure enough, he came now.
"New Year's Day is just around the corner in half an hour. I want to say farewell to the old and welcome the new with Youyou." Xiao Huayong smiled gently.
"Your Highness, this is the residence of the Imperial Physician!" Shen Xihe reminded.
If Tao Zhuanxian saw this, he would scold him to pieces.
"Love the house and the dog. If Censor Tao sees me, I'm afraid he will also spare me for Yoyo." Xiao Huayong stepped into the threshold, fearless, "On New Year's Eve, I was with my family. There were only the emperor and his ministers in the palace. I had no relatives, so I only thought of Yoyo."
Hearing the tone, those who didn't know would have thought it was from a homeless beggar on the street. No one would believe that it came from the mouth of the crown prince who was second only to the emperor.
Shen Xihe knew very well that he couldn't drive him away, so he turned around and ignored him.
Zhenzhu and the others stepped aside obediently to make room for them. Xiao Huayong sat down next to Shen Xihe and watched her weaving a knotted rope: "This knotted rope is very unique. I just happen to be short of one. I wonder if Youyou can give it to me?"
Pearl et al.: …
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so shameless that they had never seen anything like it in their lives.
Shen Xihe just didn't get used to him. She didn't drive him away because she didn't want to make a big fuss and couldn't explain herself clearly in front of her grandfather. Now her grandfather and the others knew that she was going to marry into the Eastern Palace, but they didn't know the reason. They were afraid that they would think that she was in love with Xiao Huayong.
"This is the knot I tied for my father."
Xiao Huayong seemed to suddenly remember something after hearing this: "That day I saw a rattan incense cup in the prince's hand, and Yoyo gave the gift I gave to the prince. I was deeply saddened."
