Chapter 14 Chapter 14 Haha, who is so unlucky to marry...

The wind grew stronger, blowing up her goose-yellow sleeves, and the smile on the girl's lips slowly froze. Chen Rang saw that the magnolia flower made of stacked rice beads on her collar was trembling gently.

The gauze skirt spread out in the wind, and the wide sleeves were blown by the wind, revealing the plain silver-striped lining.

She frowned, and there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

"Your humble servant greets Lord Shen." Lin Zhuo's voice was gentle.

The man came in a dark brocade robe that swept across the ground, and the crane pattern embroidered with silver thread was faintly visible when the cuffs were folded.

She wore a jade belt around her waist, adorned with a green jadeite pendant.

The corner of his robe was suddenly lifted by the draft, his eyebrows raised slightly, and the small blue mole at the end of his eye seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Those peach blossom eyes were filled with coldness.

Shen Rang passed Lin Zhuo and went directly to Yuan Susu: "Your Highness."

Yuan Susu maintained basic politeness.

"Yeah." She nodded slightly, then lowered her eyes and turned to leave with Lin Zhuo, not wanting to pay any attention to him.

Su Su held Lin Zhuo's hand tightly, and she looked at Lin Zhuo smiling at her.

Compared to Chen Rang, Lin Zhuo is always gentle to the core, and Su Su's unhappiness has dissipated a lot.

Her face gradually flushed and she blinked slightly. Fearing that Lin Zhuo would feel uncomfortable, she bent her lips and said, "Be with me today, no one else will dare to bully you."

When the abbot learned that there would be distinguished guests visiting the temple today, he specially arranged for them to stay in an elegant palace where the late emperor and his mother, the eldest princess, had once come to escape the summer heat. He went to prepare a vegetarian meal and then left.

Not only is the furnishings of this elegant hall comparable to those in the palace, but there is also a pond full of lotus flowers on the dining side.

"There are many pilgrims in the temple today, and the abbot said that this is the only room left..." Chen Rang suddenly stepped into the hall and caught a glimpse of Su Su squatting by the pond, lifting her sleeves and fiddling with the lotus.

"Wow! Lin Zhuo, look, this lotus..."

She turned around, holding a lotus in her fair and delicate hands, her eyes shining.

I thought it was Lin Zhuo who had just gone out and came back, but I never thought...

The person who came was actually Shen Rang, which was a bit awkward.

She suppressed her smile a little, and when she saw Shen Rang's eyes fixed on her, Su Su asked uncomfortably, "Master Shen... what are you doing?"

Shen Rang came back to his senses and frowned and scolded: "As a member of the royal family, how can this be disrespectful!"

What kind of system is this...

Susu scratched her ears.

Yuan Susu was helped up by Cuicui and said listlessly, "Young Master, what are you doing here? Are you here to eat for free?"

Suddenly the sun shone through, and Shen Rang came towards him, his tall, handsome figure suddenly projected on the ground.

The oppressive feeling that belonged only to Shen Rang emanated from his body, slowly engulfing Su Su's petite shadow on the ground.

Yuan Susu took a few steps back, her eyes wandering, not daring to look into his hawk-like eyes, which showed the complacency of having her played around with.

"Yeah, free food."

He can take it for granted that he can even eat for free...

Su Su was speechless and complained silently in her heart.

After Lin Zhuo came back, the three of them just sat there quietly. When Shen Rang closed his eyes and didn't say anything, he looked much more pleasing than usual.

Susu played with the lotus and whispered something in Lin Zhuo's ear.

Suddenly, a gentle, breathless voice came from outside the door: "Brother Jingzhi left too quickly."

A woman came in with a graceful demeanor. The rouge at the corners of her eyes was three times darker than that of ordinary noble ladies in the capital. Her pupils were like water, and dimples gradually appeared when she smiled.

The hem of her light gold Liuxian skirt swept across the blue bricks, and a coral-colored shawl wrapped around her slender waist, which deliberately slipped down halfway when she turned around.

If Yuan Jiyin was a captivating and eye-catching purple peony, then this girl was a lotus emerging from the water.

She glanced at Shen Rang and frowned suddenly, then smiled and saluted Su Su as if she didn't see anything: "Your servant greets the Princess, Master Lin."

Su Su nodded, looked at Shen Rang's slightly gloomy face and said teasingly: "Master Shen, can you introduce me to someone?"

The girl was about to introduce herself, but Shen Rang said coldly, "This is Cui Chuyi, the legitimate daughter of the head of the Qinghe Cui family."

I guess Chen Rang, the old bachelor, went out on a blind date because his family was pressuring him.

Most of the people from aristocratic families marry to consolidate their power and become related.

Tsk, I didn't expect such a pretty girl to be so unlucky and marry Shen Rang...

It’s all fate!

Su Su looked at her handsome and elegant Lin Zhuo, quietly held his hand, and scratched his palm.

Lin Zhuo's ears flushed red. After all, with outsiders around, he couldn't be too affectionate with Su Su. He could only sit upright, slightly sideways and lower his eyes to look at Su Su beside him, silently saying, "Stop messing around."

Su Su smiled sweetly, secretly happy in her heart, I am lucky~

Suddenly, Cui Chuyi jokingly curved her lips and said, "I have heard that Your Highness is interested in Lord Lin. Now it seems that they are so well-matched and loving. I can't help but envy them."

Su Su curved her lips and said quickly, "Miss Cui, you will also..."

Oh no, Shen Rang.

Yuan Susu glanced at him as he nibbled on his chopsticks, a hint of playfulness hidden in the corner of her eyes: I can’t say for sure~

As she was laughing secretly, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Shen Rang's brows slightly furrowed, his eyes oozing with coldness as he stared at her.

The corners of Yuan Susu's lips twitched for a moment, and her back became wet with fear. Her hands were trembling slightly.

"Your Highness, have this." Lin Zhuo picked up a lotus pastry that could only be eaten by chance at Hanshan Temple and placed it in Susu's bowl.

She breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and smiled sweetly at Lin Zhuo, her eyes always lowered.

He narrowed his eyes and twirled his fingertips.

And... he was too tall to see the two people's clasped hands under the table.

Shen Rang's eyes froze for a moment, and he snorted before gulping down a cup of tea.

It's unsightly.

Seeing that Chen Rang was still unmoved, Cui Chuyi took the initiative to put the lotus pastry on his plate and said, "I heard that Hanshan Temple's lotus pastry is a specialty. Brother Jingzhi, try it too."

Shen Rang looked at the beautiful and delicate pastry, and the fragrance came to him before it even reached his nose.

He frowned suddenly, not giving Cui Chuyi any face at all: "I don't like sweet things."

This meal was quite tasteless.

Shen Rang finished first: "Your Highness, enjoy it slowly."

Su Su responded without looking up at him.

Although Lin Zhuo and she still need to get along with each other, if everything goes well, she can ask the emperor to grant her marriage and choose a fiefdom, and she can stay away from Shangjing, a place of trouble.

Live a happy and peaceful life with Lin Zhuo, and then wait for the ending.

However, she was still afraid that no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to avoid the predetermined outcome.

Now she is afraid that she can hardly protect herself.

If in the future, Yuan Jiyin and Prince Anyang's conspiracy to rebel was known to Shen Rang.

How could he let me go? What could I do to him by just hiding in my fiefdom?

Su Su took a sip of soup and made up her mind to try her best to please him before everything was settled.

After all, I know I'm thick-skinned, so it doesn't matter if I lose a few more times.

After eating and drinking, Lin Zhuo turned to look at Su Su, who was looking around absentmindedly, and asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Yuan Susu pursed her lips and shook her head, retracting her gaze from searching for Chen Rang.

"No problem."

Cui Chuyi knew very well that it was a rare opportunity for her to travel with Shen Rang today. She raised her eyes with a smile on her lips and saluted Susu: "Your Highness, Lord Lin, I will go to look for Brother Jingzhi first."

Su Su took this opportunity to nod, then naturally turned around, took his hand, and said, "Didn't you tell me that the backyard of Hanshan Temple is full of flowers? Should we go and see it too?"

"Okay." Lin Zhuo held Su Su's face with his hands, and when he got closer, Su Su

Even though Lin Zhuo had only known Su Su for a few days, he still understood the prince's personality very well. He was not as ruthless and smooth-talking as the rumors said.

He is completely naive, innocent and can't hide anything.

It was as if the ruthless and ruthless princess from the past was not her.

Although he was only a minor official in the Ministry of Justice, he once tried to look through the hanging pearl curtain and the ministers standing in front of him in the throne hall to see what the woman there looked like to be able to intimidate important officials in the court at such a young age.

Now His Highness has lost his memory, but who can completely reveal his true nature just because of memory loss?

If Lin Zhuo doesn’t believe it, how many others will believe it?

So is it possible that this prince has been pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?

Lin Zhuo had thought that one day His Highness would abandon him.

Although the time I spent with His Highness was short, he was truly a piece of jade.

But it was gradually warmed by the person in front of me.

His long-established mental defenses and his self-disciplined and prudent character, shaped by the world, were broken down and reshaped bit by bit by her soft and warm little hands.

Lin Zhuo cherishes Susu very much, not only because in the future, as the prince's consort, she will enable the Lin family to leap from a humble family to a new elite in the court.

Instead, he had experienced several years of darkness, and it seemed as if the clouds had finally cleared and a ray of light had pulled him out of the gutter.

Su Su looked at the figure of He Gu Song Zi among the peony flowers not far away, and the girl from the Cui family who was picking flowers beside him.

"Your Highness, the situation today seems to be that the Shen family wants to unite with the Cui family," Lin Zhuo lowered his eyes, "I am afraid that the aristocratic family will become more prosperous in the future."

Su Su didn't care. She saw Chen Rang standing with his hands behind his back watching Cui Chuyi catching butterflies, and she thought they were a perfect match.

If I remember correctly, Master Shen in the original book never married and devoted himself to the court.

How come we are now at the stage of discussing marriage?

But it's also good. If Shen Rang gets married earlier, maybe he won't have the energy to deal with her.

Yuan Susu curved her lips and took Lin Zhuo's hand towards the fresh and elegant jasmine garden, with butterflies flying over the lotus tips.

She was chattering non-stop and was about to catch the butterfly with the fan in her hand.

Lin Zhuo was about to speak when Su Su looked at the butterfly that had been standing on the flower for a long time without moving and immediately said, "Don't say anything!"

Su Su was determined to win and pounced on the lotus...

Some blind person came over and startled the butterfly.

Yuan Susu stood up with her hands on her hips and looked at the person who came with an angry face, but saw that the person didn't notice at all. His eyes passed over Lin Zhuo and then paused meaningfully on Susu's face.

Su Su faked a smile and said, "Why is Master Shen disturbing others' peace again?"

Shen Rang frowned and turned his gaze back to Lin Zhuo, saying with a slightly oppressive tone, "Mr. Lin, I would like to speak to Your Highness alone."

Lin Zhuo was a little surprised, but as a high-ranking official, he could suppress others, so he took the initiative to leave: "Okay, I will catch butterflies for Your Highness."

There were only two of them left here.

Shen Rang sneered: "Catching a few butterflies can make His Highness so happy?"

Yuan Susu naturally understood the disdain in his words: "I am happy to do so."

Seeing Shen Rang choke, she also took the opportunity to sarcastically say: "This girl from the Cui family is good in everything, except her eyesight."

Shen Rang chuckled and lowered his eyes to look at Su Su: "Your Highness has a good eye and chose someone who likes to catch bugs."

"you!"

Su Su sulked and turned her back to him: "Why did you come to me? Don't beat around the bush with me!"

Chen Rang raised an eyebrow and looked at Yuan Susu, his peach blossom eyes rarely showing a trace of guilt: "I would like to ask Your Highness for a favor."

"Oh, how bizarre," Yuan Susu said, "how could she miss such an opportunity to ridicule our untainted Master Shen? Our cold and aloof Master Shen actually comes to ask me for help?"

Chen Rang couldn't hold back his expression, frowning, clasping his hands over his chest, turning his head away and speaking in a pressured voice: "Yuan Jiyin, will you help?"

Tsk, he really changes his face at the drop of a hat.

Never mind, this opportunity to improve your favorability cannot be missed.

Su Su nodded reluctantly, looking embarrassed. "Tell me about it."

"My family is looking for a marriage, and I would like to ask Your Highness for a favor..."

He suddenly paused, and when he looked at Yuan Susu, his eyes were inexplicably charming, with his eyebrows slightly raised.

The refreshing and expensive pine scent from her fair skin, mixed with the fragrance of flowers from the garden, slowly seeped into Susu's nose.

Shen Rang hooked his hand to signal Su Su to come closer: "Come here."

Su Su thinks that she is already taken, so she wants to draw a clear line between herself and the men around her, especially the good-looking ones: "If you have something to say, just say it, otherwise I won't help you."

Shen Rang sighed, twisted his fingertips, his eyes were hot and a little misty, and it was hard to tell what was hidden in his eyes.

He licked his lips, then suddenly took a step forward and lowered his head to whisper in Susu's ear.

But this made Su Su, who adhered to the virtues of a woman, instinctively take a step back, but accidentally lost her balance and stumbled backwards, grabbing Shen Rang's clothes and pulling him down...
