Chapter 265: Concealment
When Shen Changfeng heard this, he felt confused.
"Mom, what are you thinking about?"
After hearing Shen Changfeng's answer, the eldest princess's face was filled with visible disappointment.
"Why don't you have a girl you like? Have you not figured it out yet? There are so many beautiful girls in your room, but you don't like any of them?" When the eldest princess said this, her expression suddenly changed.
Shen Changfeng said doubtfully: "I haven't married yet, why should I bother with the pretty girl in the house?"
The eldest princess' eyes were full of suspicion, and then she suddenly reached out and patted her son on the face: "Tell me the truth, are you a homosexual?"
When Shen Changfeng heard this, he suddenly let out an earth-shattering cough.
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? How can you slander your own son like this?"
The princess saw that the grievance on Shen Changfeng's face was not a disguise, and reluctantly put her mind at ease, but still said: "In the past, you were always outside teasing cats and dogs, but you didn't offend anyone?"
Shen Changfeng tilted his head, his face full of memories, and then said: "I did beat up a few young masters, but as time went by, their families didn't pursue the matter. Mother, you are not going to pursue it for them, are you? I am your own son, and I beat people to enforce justice!"
The eldest princess didn't care about the disputes between these children. Her ideas were obviously different from her son's. When she thought about it carefully, it seemed that everyone just said that Shen Changfeng was a playboy and not good-looking. No one associated the word "romantic" with the son in front of them who had clear and stupid eyes.
The princess thought about it and felt that the only explanation was that her son had not yet become enlightened.
The eldest princess is different from ordinary women in the harem. She doesn't have the energy to keep an eye on her son's backyard. Besides, if her son doesn't wake up, she will still feel like a child. She actually enjoys her son's attachment to his mother.
"There are so many noble ladies coming to our house today, don't you like any of them? Even if they are of humble origins, as long as they have good character, you will like them." said the eldest princess.
Shen Changfeng got excited when he talked about this: "I don't like anyone, but I really don't like anyone, so please don't match me up with someone randomly!"
The eldest princess sensed that there was a story behind this, so she pretended to listen attentively.
After hearing the whole story, the princess slammed the table and said, "What a shame!"
When Shen Changfeng thought of the woman who belittled him without even meeting him, he couldn't help but feel aggrieved and asked his mother, "Which noble lady did you take a fancy to?"
The eldest princess avoided his gaze.
Shen Changfeng stared at her: "You have to tell me the truth!"
The eldest princess smiled awkwardly: "Just two or three girls."
Shen Changfeng suddenly became alert and asked, "Is it two or three? Which two or three specifically?"
The princess was so angry that she decided to throw the pot into the ground and said, "I have hinted at any decent family whose daughter has not yet arranged a marriage!"
Shen Changfeng: ...
Shen Changfeng couldn't help but said, "Are you so afraid that I won't be able to marry a wife? Anyway, I will definitely not marry a wife this year! You are not afraid of marrying a daughter-in-law who has someone else in mind, but I still want someone who is devoted to me and only sees me!"
The princess was helpless and said, "Okay, okay, I have an idea now. Your marriage will wait for a while. We can talk about it in two years."
Only then did Shen Changfeng feel relieved.
When Niu Niu returned home, she rushed to her grandmother first.
"Oh, my dear, you went out to play all day today. Do you miss grandma?" asked Grandma Gu with a smile.
Niuniu nodded vigorously, but still said honestly: "I miss grandma and I have something to ask grandma!"
Mrs. Gu immediately said, "What's the matter? Do you want to eat gingerbread? Grandma will make it for you tomorrow morning!"
Niuniu shook her head and asked, "Grandma, when you go to help Li Ya the day after tomorrow, can you bring Sister Ling with you?"
Old Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment before she remembered who the sister Niu Niu was referring to. She was so anxious that she almost jumped up.
"Did you promise her?"
"Not yet. I said I wanted to ask for your opinion." Niu Niu said obediently.
Mrs. Gu was suddenly in a dilemma.
"She is the eldest princess' daughter, precious as gold and jade, how can she follow me? If anything goes wrong, our whole family won't be able to pay for it!"
Listening to Mrs. Gu's complaints, Niuniu said, "Grandma, I'll have someone tell Sister Ling that she can't be taken with her. Don't worry."
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she became even more anxious.
If she just asked someone to pass on the message, wouldn't people immediately know that it was her, the old lady, who was unhappy? Old Mrs. Gu was also unwilling to offend Shen Ling!
In addition to Shen Ling's noble status, she also sincerely treats Niuniu as her sister, and Mrs. Gu is unwilling to hurt Shen Ling's heart.
"Oh, this doesn't work, and that doesn't work. What should I do?" Old Mrs. Gu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing around the room.
Gu Mingda said casually: "Since Miss Shen wants to go, you can take her with you. The capital is under the feet of the emperor, what big things can happen? Miss Shen has many servants around her, and they will definitely protect her. I will give Changfeng a day off the day after tomorrow, and let him go with you."
Mrs. Gu always listened to Gu Mingda. Seeing that her son had agreed, she could only say, "Then I...then I...agree..."
Gu Mingda said: "The girl was just in a spur of the moment mood. After having fun once and being satisfied, there shouldn't be any problem anymore."
Mrs. Gu nodded hesitantly: "I hope so."
But the old lady couldn't completely let go of her worries. She couldn't help but pull her son to the side and say, "Why did you follow me to the market? The princess actually agreed to go to that kind of place? It's dirty, will it scare the little girl?"
Gu Mingda consoled him, "The princess is very busy. Since she agreed, she must have her concerns. If the little girl gets scared after seeing the mess, she may not make a fuss about joining us in the future."
Gu Mingda speculated about the princess in this way, and the princess was speculating about Gu Mingda in the same way.
She found her daughter's request inconceivable, and grabbed Shen Ling and asked, "Did the Gu family really agree? Have you asked clearly?"
Shen Ling thought that Niuniu could also represent the Gu family, and there was no guilt in her eyes. She said firmly: "Of course! Mother, who do you think I am? Would I use my status to pressure others? I must have asked for their consent before I came to tell you."
"The Gu family sent someone to deliver a message to me, saying that they would like me to go with them to see the people in the market and broaden my horizons!"
The princess did not completely believe Chen Ling's words, but sent someone to the gatehouse to question her.
Because Niu Niu took Chen Ling's matter to heart, she asked about it as soon as she returned from the flower-viewing banquet, and sent someone to reply to Chen Ling in the shortest time possible.
The eldest princess found everything clear once she checked.
Shen Ling said: "Mother has sent someone to ask, should I believe it?"
The eldest princess looked thoughtful.
Shen Ling gave Shen Changfeng another look.
Shen Changfeng knew that his sister felt very bored at home, so he helped to drum up support from the side and said, "Mother, Mr. Gu is not without a purpose. He actually agreed, and obviously thinks this will be good for my sister."
