Qinghua looked at her with some pity. If it weren't for the fact that a forced melon is not sweet, she and Fu Hengyu wouldn't have ended up like this.
"I am so upset right now. I don't want to drag him down, but... my heart tells me that I shouldn't just give up on him like this."
Qinghua looked at her with some concern, but in the end said nothing and left the space to her alone?
Shen Yuerong could still feel his remaining warmth on her hands.
At least some of what Qinghua said makes sense.
But how can she be so compatible with him now?
Shen Yuerong walked to the bed beside her, thought about this matter, and fell asleep. When she woke up again, she didn't know how much time had passed.
She looked at the dark sky outside and suddenly felt a little lonely in her heart.
In such cold days and nights, she was the only one with no one to accompany her.
The second day.
As soon as she woke up, she asked someone to invite Fang Mu over.
"Today, when the prince is done with court, ask him to come over."
"yes."
The weather was too cold, so Shen Yuerong had the doors and windows closed and stayed in the study, editing the books and diaries that had been abandoned for many years into a book.
She had no idea when Chi Mu came or when he stood in the corridor looking at her.
I only knew that when I looked up, I saw the man standing there.
"Why did you come here without calling me?"
Chi Mu lowered his head, with a little red behind his ears. "I was stunned for a moment and forgot to tell you that I sent someone to call me over. But is there anything important you want to tell me?"
Shen Yuerong nodded, asked someone to open the door and invite him in, then she snuggled back into the heavy clothes.
"I have thought about what you said yesterday for a long time. What you said... my heart... are you really ready to stay with me, a divorced woman, in the future?"
"Of course I do."
He looked at her excitedly, but hesitantly asked, "Don't you believe me?"
Shen Yuerong shook her head and denied his words.
"You should know that I had a lot of unpleasant experiences with him before. It wasn't like this at the beginning. Love develops over time, but it can also give rise to evil."
When she first met Fu Hengyu, there was also this pure and innocent love in Fu Hengyu's eyes.
But in the end, it disappeared completely and there was no way to find it.
"Then what do you want from me? So that you can believe that my love is real love."
"That depends on... whether you can pass my review?"
"What?"
Chi Mu sat opposite Shen Yuerong, looking at her in a daze, not understanding anything she said.
"There is still a lot of time, and I will one day be able to completely understand whether you have me in your heart."
Shen Yuerong also made up her mind to slowly understand the prince in front of her and how he really fell in love with her.
For several days in a row.
Although there was no invitation from Shen Yuerong, Chi Mu would always come over to eat after court and stay for the whole day. From the beginning, Shen Yuerong would ask a few questions, but in the end she acquiesced and he stayed with her all the time.
Whenever there were some difficult matters in the court, he would bring them to the Shen family for handling. Shen Yuerong also specially set up a simple desk for him to use.
Chi Mu looked at her. Although he didn't say anything overly sweet in the past few days, her actions showed that she had completely accepted his presence in her life.
This is probably a new development.
Until that day.
He put down the documents in his hand and walked in front of Shen Yuerong, feeling a little nervous and hesitant.
When Shen Yuerong raised her head from the book in front of her, she saw him like this.
"What's wrong?"
She looked at his troubled face and said, "Just tell me if you have anything to say."
He leaned on the edge of the table, half-crouched, and looked at me earnestly. "After the morning court today, His Majesty asked me to stay and talk with him. He also roughly knew about our relationship. He wanted me to bring you to the palace and attend the palace banquet together, which is also... But I think you may not want to do it. Anyway, the decision is in your hands."
He gave the final decision to Shen Yuerong and spoke very seriously.
"I don't care what your decision is, I hope it's from your heart and not..."
"I don't want to go."
Shen Yuerong interrupted him, but saw that his face looked a little lonely.
From beginning to end, Shen Yuerong never gave a real answer. Everyone knew it, but it was still not as pleasing as being open and aboveboard.
"Unhappy?"
He shook his head subconsciously, "I'm not unhappy. I said I would respect your decision."
"I'll go."
She looked at him with a smile, and then told him the result he wanted.
Infinite starlight burst out of those eyes, and it seemed as if they were confirming Shen Yuerong's answer.
"You've already said it, how can I bear to deprive you of your hope? It's just... I'm really afraid of the cold recently. When the New Year comes, it will be even colder. I'm afraid I'll have to buy some more clothes."
Chi Mu immediately took the matter upon himself, "Buying you clothes and jewelry is my job, I will definitely arrange it for you."
Shen Yuerong heard his serious tone and found it a little funny.
"Are you... sure you can choose jewelry for a woman?"
"I...I'm going to find Yongan."
"Don't bother Yongan. Since you're letting me choose, I'll just go with you."
Shen Yuerong hardened her heart and accompanied the two of them to shop in clothing and jewelry stores for a whole day, and bought quite a few items.
Originally, Shen Yuerong wanted to use her own money for this expense, but he blocked her completely.
"Consider it my New Year's gift to you."
Shen Yuerong also accepted it.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for a banquet in the palace.
Shen Yuerong got up early and asked Qinghua and Taohua to help her choose clothes and jewelry so that she could dress up nicely.
Look at the person in the mirror.
Shen Yuerong could hardly recognize herself in the mirror.
"Young lady doesn't like to dress up normally. After dressing up like this, she looks no different from the young ladies in the capital."
Shen Yuerong reached out and touched her cheek, then looked at the hairpin on her head. She still remembered that he had insisted on buying it. Shen Yuerong felt that the flower on the hairpin was a little too young and did not match him well.
"Yes, the lady looks a lot younger when she dresses like this, and she doesn't look like a married person."
Taohua also followed Qinghua in praising her, making her face blush a little.
"Well, if you two keep praising me like this, you're almost comparing me to the fairies in the sky. Now the time is almost right, we should set off. Don't make him wait too long or he'll get impatient."
"yes."
Qinghua helped Shen Yuerong get her clothes, and then the three of them walked out together and saw Chi Mu standing in the yard waiting for her.
"you……"
