Chapter 9 Must Share Her Favor
"Your Majesty, are you here to have dinner with me?"
When Shen Lingshu saw Prince Lin, she smiled with curved eyebrows.
As soon as Prince Lin sat down, Shen Lingshu introduced the dishes: "Sweet and sour spareribs, sweet and sour and delicious. I asked the kitchen to change the recipe. Your Highness, would you like to try it? Lotus-flavored chicken, it can only be made in this season, and three-strand spring rolls..."
Shen Lingshu's voice was delicate but not coquettish, and her voice was neither fast nor slow, like a gentle spring breeze, or a slowly unfolding painting.
"I had this jujube flower pastry made specially for me. The jujube paste and the pastry are delicious."
Shen Lingshu was like offering a treasure, her eyes shaped like peach blossoms, her eyes sparkling.
It was not until he felt a sense of fullness in his stomach that King Lin realized belatedly that he had eaten too much.
Putting down his chopsticks, Prince Lin glanced at Shen Lingshu who was still eating the jujube paste cake. She must have been eating it too deliciously.
After eating one and about to eat the last piece of jujube paste cake, Shen Lingshu was stunned for a moment. Facing King Lin's eyes, she raised the jujube paste cake in her hand and asked with her eyes: Do you want to eat it?
Prince Lin: Doesn't the Shen family have any food for her to eat? Why is she so greedy?
Shen Lingshu handed it forward. Seeing that Prince Lin did not move, Shen Lingshu directly brought the jujube paste pastry to his mouth and said with a smile: "This is made of jujube paste. It is sour and sweet, and the pastry is very crispy."
With a bright smile, King Lin opened his mouth and took a bite as if possessed by a ghost.
As he got closer, her eyes, as bright as stars, seemed to emit a dazzling light, and the sweet jasmine fragrance made him want to carry her back to the inner room...
"Qingwu, reward."
Prince Lin suppressed the anger in his heart, and Qingwu immediately went to the kitchen to deliver the reward.
"Your Highness, I will be very lucky to have you cook delicious food for me in the kitchen." Shen Lingshu smiled with her eyes curved like crescent moons.
"Whatever you want to eat, ask the kitchen to make it."
Prince Lin's words made her eyes, which were as bright as stars, even brighter.
After dinner, Prince Lin had no intention of leaving. However, when he saw the copied scriptures on the desk, his brows furrowed.
"This is a special prayer from my concubine for His Majesty. May His Majesty be healthy and well for many years to come."
Shen Lingshu embarrassedly blocked the scriptures and looked at her shyly: "Your Majesty, please don't laugh at my poor handwriting."
Prince Lin's chest felt hot. In the entire mansion's backyard, except for Qiu Rong, there was probably no one like Shen Lingshu, right?
The concubines in the backyard of the Man Mansion: It’s so unfair!
Don’t they want to show their affection?
There is no such chance at all!!!
"Let me see." Prince Lin grabbed her hand and opened the scripture. The neat calligraphy with flower-shaped characters showed the sincerity of the person who copied the scripture.
The handwriting is standard and not outstanding, but it is neat.
"I have a Duan inkstone and a purple-gold wolf-hair brush that will surely help you elevate your calligraphy to a higher level."
As soon as Prince Lin opened his mouth, Qingwu ran like crazy. He had just returned from the kitchen and immediately went to the warehouse to get something, along with the thick stack of rice paper from the mansion.
"Wow, Your Majesty, this pen is different from mine."
Shen Lingshu praised with surprise, thinking: For a concubine's daughter who is not favored, it is good enough for her to have a pen, but a good pen is out of her reach.
"Is that enough?"
Her surprised and satisfied look greatly amused King Lin. He scratched her nose lightly and said, "Come, I will teach you."
Prince Lin put his arms around her from behind and pointed out the flaws in her handwriting.
Shen Lingshu was a little dazed. The future Emperor Lin'an had great attainments in calligraphy, and he was actually going to teach her how to write?
She glanced sideways at Prince Lin's tall nose, thick black eyebrows, and focused eyes. His refreshing aura enveloped her, and she could hear the sound of his beating heart in her ears.
"Not concentrating?"
The last word of "Lin Wang" has an upward sound, which seems to be able to captivate people.
"Your Highness is able to teach me how to write. I am so happy that I don't know what to do."
Shen Lingshu's smile deepened. She lowered her head, suppressed her smile, and secretly told herself that she must not be tempted, otherwise, she would not even know how she died.
The faint scent of ink gradually immersed Shen Lingshu. It turned out that there were so many tricks to writing calligraphy, which benefited her, an amateur, a lot.
In Fengdan Courtyard, Aunt Li had heated up the dishes three times. When she learned that the prince had gone to Youlan Courtyard again, Aunt Li stood up and ran to Youlan Courtyard angrily.
When she arrived at Youlan Courtyard, Concubine Li was blown by the cold wind and her whole body was instantly cold. There were concubines who competed for favor in the past, and the final end was beating to death, but she was able to survive until now because she was timid!
Aunt Li returned to Fengdan Courtyard in a daze, sat on the bed, and waited until dawn, but there was no sign of the prince.
Qiutang Courtyard.
Shen Lingshu had clearly arrived early, but in the side hall, except for the sick Concubine Lin, Concubine Fang and Concubine Li were staring at her with the same look, eagerly.
"Greetings, Concubine."
As soon as Shen Lingshu finished greeting, she immediately spoke in embarrassment, saying: "Concubine, the prince came here by himself yesterday, and I didn't invite him. I can't chase the prince away, can I?"
"It's not that I don't know the rules."
Shen Lingshu's embarrassment made Aunt Li even more furious. Aunt Li snorted coldly: "Stop pretending to be innocent here. It's obviously you, a bitch, who seduced the prince, so the prince..."
"Then Aunt Li is also trying to seduce the prince." Shen Lingshu blocked her back with just one sentence, and Aunt Li was so angry that she had a heart attack!
If she could seduce the prince, would she need to say anything?
"We agreed to treat everyone equally. Is this what Concubine Concubine meant by fairness and justice?" Aunt Li looked at Concubine Fang.
Concubine Fang's face darkened instantly. She scolded coldly, "Madam Shen is young and beautiful. If Your Majesty goes there a few more times, maybe you can help Madam Shen get pregnant soon."
"If you are not satisfied, go find the prince." Concubine Fang said with a gloomy face.
Bitch!
Isn't this just a satire on her age?
Aunt Li's face turned dark in an instant.
After Concubine Fang sent everyone away, she ordered, "Madam Gui, have someone give Hai the best medicine so she can recover quickly."
If this continues, wouldn't she, Shen Lingshu, be the only one left in the prince's eyes?
For seven consecutive days, Prince Lin stayed in Youlan Courtyard. It was not until Shen Lingshu came for her period that Prince Lin rested in the study in the front yard.
In the backyard, Concubine Fang, Aunt Li and others all breathed a sigh of relief.
What method did Shen Lingshu use to make Prince Lin, who used to enter the backyard once every five days, enter the backyard for seven consecutive days.
Could it be that it is really because Shen’s appearance is suitable for boys and easy to get pregnant?
Concubine Fang speculated secretly and asked, "Madam Gui, how is Hai's recovery?"
While Shen Lingshu is coming to Kuishui, I must share this favor with her.
"The rash has completely disappeared and she can serve the prince now." Nanny Gui replied.
"Send someone to the front yard to tell the prince that Hai is available for service."
Concubine Fang added, "Send someone to tell Hai."
If she hadn't still been recovering from her miscarriage, she would never have given herself up at this time!
Yihe Courtyard.
When Hai Jiaren received the news that she would be serving the prince, she felt like she came back to life. God knows how she had been living these days!
She had not yet been favored by the emperor, so the meals she mentioned were cold, the maids were indifferent to her, and she couldn't even get some lipstick and sugar water when she went to the temple. She didn't want to live like this at all.
Fortunately, it will be over soon.
Hai Jiaren dressed herself up like a flower and waited for the prince to come, but who knew that the prince did not show up and stayed in the study.
When Concubine Fang saw this, she was secretly anxious. Nanny Gui said, "How about, Concubine Fang go and invite the prince herself?"
