Chapter 8 If you have the guts, go find the prince
The sky was dimly lit. As soon as I arrived at Qiutang Courtyard, Cao Lu came to greet me: "Auntie Chen, the concubine asks you to come in and help me wash up."
Shen Lingshu's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed that Concubine Fang still wanted to set rules with her?
Walking into the inner room, Concubine Fang, who had just woken up in the morning, was still in her pajamas.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and change the concubine's clothes."
Nanny Gui looked at Shen Lingshu and urged her, "You bitch, don't think you can ascend to heaven just by serving the prince twice."
"yes."
Shen Lingshu lowered her eyes, took the clothes and put them on Concubine Fang. She muttered in her heart that if Concubine Fang dared to torture her, she would faint in public and see if she would still have the reputation of a concubine!
Fortunately, Concubine Fang just looked at her with a strange look in her eyes, and spoke in a condescending tone, as if she was really just asking her to put on her clothes.
Aunt Lin was ill and did not come, so in the side hall, there were only Concubine Fang and Aunt Li. As they came and went, they began to dislike each other.
Shen Lingshu remained neutral and didn't help anyone. Soon, the greetings were over.
Returning to Youlan Courtyard, Shen Lingshu collapsed on the soft couch and said, "Zhu Xin, I'll take a nap. Call me when you serve lunch at noon."
"Madam Gui, what's going on?"
As soon as the person left, Concubine Fang frowned and said, "Didn't the little maid from Youlan Courtyard say yesterday that the prince was angry and left?" But this morning, the prince still left Youlan Courtyard.
Nanny Gui replied in a deep voice, "Concubine, I just heard that the prince was angry and left, and Shen chased him out. I don't know what trick she used, but she brought the prince back."
'clang'
Concubine Fang smashed the cup in her hand and shouted angrily, "Investigate!"
"yes."
Nanny Gui immediately sent someone to investigate, but unfortunately, Cha Yu, who was only thinking about making a contribution, went to Qiutang Courtyard to report the news immediately after the prince left. When she came back, the prince and Aunt Shen were already in the inner room.
Zhuxin is tight-lipped, so nothing can be found out.
night.
Shen Lingshu took a deep breath: "What did you cook in the kitchen today? It smells so good?"
After having a simple meal at noon and a good sleep in the afternoon, she felt alive again.
"Lotus root with osmanthus, cherry meat and stir-fried vegetables. Auntie, try this cuttlefish soup while it's hot, it's very delicious." Zhuxin placed the food on the table.
Shen Lingshu asked: "Why is there one more dish than yesterday?"
"Auntie served the prince yesterday, and the kitchen specially added cuttlefish soup for her." Zhu Xin replied.
Shen Lingshu: "Don't want money?"
"Yes, no money." Zhu Xin's affirmative answer made Shen Lingshu's appetite whetted. In this backyard of the palace, it's great to be favored!
"Your Majesty?"
Zhu Xin was surprised for a moment and immediately added a set of bowls and chopsticks for King Lin.
"Your Highness is ready for dinner. It's just right. I asked someone to make osmanthus lotus root and cherry meat today. Would you like to try it?" Shen Lingshu didn't care why Prince Lin came. As long as he came, she would greet him with a smile.
The flower-like smile made the delicacies on the table delicious. Prince Lin did not answer and sat down directly. Shen Lingshu introduced it warmly: "The sweet and sticky osmanthus lotus root is delicious."
"And this cherry meat."
Shen Lingshu introduced enthusiastically, and Prince Lin unknowingly ate an extra bowl of rice. Looking at the smiling Shen Lingshu, Prince Lin felt that although Shen Lingshu's appearance was only 50% similar to Qiu Rong, her temperament was exactly the same as that of the young Qiu Rong.
When she was young, Qiu Rong was just like Shen Lingshu today, straightforward and without scheming, saying what she wanted to say, carefree, and her thoughts were written on her face.
After getting married, Qiu Rong became mature and steady, and treated the people in the backyard well. Everyone who saw her would praise Princess Lin for her knowledge and good manners. It was a pity...
Prince Lin's eyes sank slightly. Those concubines in the backyard did not understand Qiu Rong's kindness at all. They repaid her with evil and took advantage of her pregnancy to kill Qiu Rong twice!
If he could go back to the past, he would rather Qiu Rong always be as carefree as she was when she was young.
"Prince, this cuttlefish soup is so delicious." Shen Lingshu held a bowl of cuttlefish soup with a bright smile, which made Prince Lin a little dazed. He wanted such a bright smile to last forever.
In Qiutang Courtyard, when Concubine Fang learned that Prince Lin had gone to Shen's house again, all the food in front of him was smashed by her.
The next day, I paid my respects to Qiutangyuan.
Today is Aunt Li's turn to serve. When she paid her respects in the morning, Aunt Li was wearing a pink dress. She wanted to wear all the pearl hairpins on her head, and dressed herself up like a peacock spreading its tail.
When Aunt Li heard that the prince had gone to Youlan Courtyard again after dinner yesterday, she was so angry that she smashed all the vases in the room!
As soon as she saw Shen Lingshu, Aunt Li immediately started to get angry: "Are you new to the mansion and don't you know the rules? Why don't you follow the date arranged by the concubine?"
"What Aunt Li said is so unreasonable. The legs are on the prince. If the prince wants to come, can I stop him?" Shen Lingshu tilted her head, her eyes seemed to be mocking Aunt Li, asking if she was stupid!
"You..." Aunt Li was so angry that she fell backwards. This bitch only served the prince twice, but she thought she was a big shot!
"If Aunt Li really thinks it's rude, why don't you go and talk to the prince?" Shen Lingshu suggested kindly. She rolled her eyes silently in her heart. If she had the ability, she could go to the prince herself, why would she look for her?
Aunt Li: "..."
If she dared to tell the prince, would she still have to look at Shen Lingshu's disgusting face here?
Just wait, today she will serve the prince and will definitely give this bitch a hard time!
Aunt Li found an excuse and ran away. If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she would be angry to death.
night.
Fontainebleau Courtyard.
"Biyu, please help me check, is my rouge red enough? Is the incense on my body a little lighter?"
Aunt Li lifted her sleeves and wiped the incense from her clothes. She took off her coat and said, "Cui Yu, hurry up and fumigate some more clothes."
"The master's rouge is already very red."
Biyu looked at Aunt Li, whose face was as red as the morning glow, and reminded her tactfully.
"No, make it redder. The candlelight is dim at night. If the prince can't see it, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?"
Aunt Li said, "Send someone to ask if the prince will come for dinner!"
It is not easy for her to serve the prince, she must perform well and try to get pregnant!
"Master, the prince hates people asking about his whereabouts." Biyu reminded quickly.
“…”
Aunt Li gave up the idea and, after serving the meal, she sat at the table waiting until the food was completely cold. Biyu cautiously reminded her, "Master, can I heat up the dinner?"
"Go quickly." Aunt Li waved her hand impatiently. Looking at the maids busying back and forth, Aunt Li touched her face. It had been seven years since she started serving the prince.
At that time, the prince was only the second prince. Unfortunately, after taking bowl after bowl of contraceptive medicine, when the princess and the concubine entered the palace, she still couldn't get pregnant.
Could it be that she is old?
In Youlan Courtyard, when Prince Lin appeared again, Shen Lingshu, who was about to eat, was stunned, then stood up with a smile to greet him.
