Chapter 12 What is there for her to be jealous of?
"No need to be polite."
Prince Lin's cold voice sounded, and Concubine Fang came over with a smile and supported her: "Sister Shen, get up quickly. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner, and we are all family members."
Concubine Fang is generous, kind, and always smiling.
After Shen Lingshu sat down, she found that apart from Concubine Fang, there was only Aunt Lin. After not seeing her for half a month, Aunt Lin still looked sickly.
Aunt Li injured her leg and Aunt Hai was under house arrest.
As soon as we sat down, exquisite dishes were served one after another, which was too much to take in. Only after King Lin started eating did everyone else start to eat.
Concubine Fang held up her wine glass. "The golden wind brings coolness, the osmanthus fragrance wafts through the air, and the auspicious time of Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived. I sincerely pray to the Moon Palace Fairy to protect His Majesty's health, increase his blessings and wisdom, and bring peace and prosperity to the royal palace. I humbly hope that Your Majesty will consider this."
"Okay." Prince Lin took a sip from the wine glass.
Shen Lingshu lowered her eyes. Although the dish looked good, even the most exquisite dishes would become cold after being placed on the table from the kitchen, and the taste would be greatly reduced.
She raised her eyes quietly. It was the first time she saw the prince in such a formal occasion. The prince had a stern face, which made his originally cold face look even more indifferent and distant, like the moon in the sky, so high and unattainable!
The delicate and graceful Concubine Lin stood up with a cup of tea in her hand. "I offer tea instead of wine to congratulate His Majesty on this festive occasion. May His Majesty be like the bright moon of Mid-Autumn Festival, with eternal brightness and may blessings, fortune, and auspiciousness always be with him. I offer my sincere congratulations."
"good."
Prince Lin took a sip of wine and his eyes fell on Shen Lingshu.
Three pairs of eyes fell on her at the same time. Even if Shen Lingshu wanted to ignore them, it was difficult. She stood up with the wine in her hand: "I don't know how to say nice things, so I just wish you: eat well, sleep well, and have a good mood like the full moon today!"
Under the bright moon, she was wearing an apricot dress, as if she was coated with a layer of lustrous light, with a charming smile on her face. This was the first time he had heard such a simple and unpretentious blessing.
"Puff~"
Concubine Fang couldn't help laughing. The next moment, she noticed the look from Prince Lin. She turned her eyes and said, "Sister Chen's blessing is sincere!"
"good!"
Prince Lin drank the wine in one gulp. After the dinner, Prince Lin took Shen Lingshu and left.
Aunt Lin also found an excuse to slip away. Concubine Fang looked at the table full of food and smashed it in anger: "How vulgar! What did the prince like about that bitch?"
…
In Youlan Courtyard, Shen Lingshu held the mooncake and handed it forward: "Your Majesty, this is the mooncake I made by myself."
She smiled like a flower, her eyes sparkled, and her eyes, like those containing stars, looked at her, as if she could infect people with her happiness and joy. Prince Lin opened his mouth and took a bite, and the sweet bean paste spread between his lips and teeth.
"How is it? Is it sweet? Is it delicious?" Shen Lingshu looked at him expectantly.
King Lin's eyes dimmed slightly, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "Try it."
The cold voice was slightly hoarse. Before Shen Lingshu even tasted the mooncake, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes, a heavy feeling on her lips, and her body lightened. She was lifted into the air...
The moon had quietly hidden in the clouds, and Shen Lingshu felt like a duckweed floating on the sea, rising and falling with the waves...
"Prepare some water."
Prince Lin's cold voice sounded, and Nanny Hua came in with a jasmine pillow and neatly placed it under Shen Lingshu's hips. Shen Lingshu pulled the blanket to cover it and said with a smile: "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival in advance, Nanny."
Aunt Hua was stunned for a moment before she smiled and said, "I wish Aunt Chen a happy Mid-Autumn Festival as well."
When the time came, Nanny Hua took the pillow and left, then saw Zhuxin coming over with mooncakes. Looking at the mooncakes, Nanny Hua was stunned for a moment.
Prince Lin came out of the bathroom, wearing a clean white nightgown, and walked towards Shen Lingshu. He lay down on the bed, but did not fall asleep as usual. Instead, he looked at the sleepy Shen Lingshu and asked, "Do you want to go to the royal hunting in half a month?"
Royal hunt?
Shen Lingshu was no longer sleepy. She opened her arms and hugged Prince Lin, looking up, and asked excitedly: "Can I? Can I really go? But I don't have riding clothes? I'm not good at riding, I..."
Prince Lin leaned over and sealed those bright red lips directly, looking at Shen Lingshu's stunned look, as if he could see what she was thinking at a glance.
This greatly pleased Prince Lin. He laughed heartily and raised his hand to caress her face. "You are not good at horse riding. I will teach you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Shen Lingshu happily snuggled into his arms, her joy and excitement overflowing.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Concubine Fang was going to accompany the prince to the palace and was exempted from the formalities of greeting. Shen Lingshu slept until noon. When she woke up and learned that the prince had sent a lot of materials and rewards, she immediately said, "Zhu Xin, make me two sets of riding clothes."
"Yes." Zhu Xin responded.
Shen Lingshu looked at the jewelry sent by the prince and couldn't help but sigh at the prince's thoughtfulness. It seems that she won't have to worry about not having jewelry to wear when she goes on the royal hunting trip this time.
After the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Concubine Fang knew that she was going to the royal hunting ground. In previous years, she would be gone for a month. Her body was still recuperating, and the prince would not touch her at all. If she only took Shen Lingshu with her, wouldn't she have the prince all to herself?
In the blink of an eye, it was the day to go to the royal hunting. When she set out to the gate of the palace, Shen Lingshu saw Hai Jiaren dressed as a flower. Was this... the house arrest lifted?
"Mrs. Shen, don't think that the prince loves you so much just because he has been in your yard these days. When I see the prince, he will definitely not remember you."
Hai Jiaren straightened her body proudly. Her mother said: Her body is the type that men like!
"Who was grounded last time after sleeping with someone?"
Shen Lingshu didn't indulge her and she directly hit Hai Jiaren's heart when she opened her mouth.
Hai Jiaren's face changed, and she stepped forward angrily and said, "Chen Lingshu, don't be so proud, I..."
Shen Lingshu was not afraid at all. She stepped forward and sneered coldly, "What? If you dare to make a move, it's hard to say whether you can go on this royal hunt or not."
"you……"
Hai Jiaren's raised hand finally dropped, and she could only look at Shen Lingshu angrily.
"What are you doing?"
Concubine Fang walked over in a deep voice, looking at Lady Hai with a hint of disgust in her eyes. Lady Hai was really useless.
"This royal hunt will not only involve the Lin Palace, but also the Crown Prince's Palace, the Heng Palace, and many other officials. If any of you dare to disgrace the Lin Palace, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Concubine Fang's eyes swept across Shen Lingshu's face. Her peach-pink dress made her face look like a peach blossom, like a delicate flower that was carefully nurtured, which was an eyesore.
"Yes." Hai Jiaren responded obediently, looking like she would follow Concubine Fang's lead.
"yes."
As soon as Shen Lingshu finished speaking, Concubine Fang's voice rang out: "I heard that Concubine Shen's elder sister is the Crown Prince's concubine?"
As sisters, the elder sister is a concubine who has been included in the royal jade record, while Shen Lingshu is just a concubine!
She just didn't believe that Shen Lingshu would be willing to do that.
"Yes, I will definitely follow my elder sister's example and strive to become a concubine." Shen Lingshu said with a smile, looking at Concubine Fang's sullen face, and snorted in her heart: Do you want to make her feel inferior?
What is there for her to be jealous of a concubine who is about to be deposed as the crown prince?
