Chapter 97 You're blushing
"Concubine Shen is well."
Song Yuqing's voice was cold, and it didn't sound like he was talking to his cousin at all, but as if he was talking to a stranger.
"Brother Yuqing, Concubine Shen is your cousin, why are you so distant to her?" Princess Lingzhao said this, but she really liked Song Yuqing's elegant and proud appearance.
Unlike the cold and distant second brother, the second brother is noble and unattainable.
Song Yuqing is a man of scholarly pride, as if he doesn't care about anything else except studying. He exudes the scent of books from head to toe.
"After you marry, you must obey your husband. You can't be like before you marry." Shen Lingshu said meaningfully, "Your Highness has something to say to the future prince consort, so I will take the child back first."
"No."
Princess Lingzhao took one look and quickly grabbed her hand, saying, "Concubine Shen, please don't leave."
She begged for a long time before her father agreed to let Song Yuqing go with her to worship the queen mother. If her father knew that she had secretly met Song Yuqing, he would definitely be unhappy.
"It's so rare to see each other, we should at least spend more time together, right?"
Princess Lingzhao said, without waiting for Shen Lingshu to answer, she quickly changed the subject and said: "Is this my little niece? She is so beautiful."
Princess Ling Zhao looked at the two children in her nurse's arms. They looked exactly the same. She was very curious: "It's been more than a month. How come they still look exactly the same after growing up?"
When they were born, they looked similar. How come they still look similar now?
"Twins, they will be exactly the same when they grow up." Shen Lingshu was amused by Princess Lingzhao's idea.
“It’s amazing.”
Princess Ling Zhao exclaimed, "Then, can I also give birth to twins in the future?"
She spoke boldly, and Shen Lingshu was stunned.
Song Yuqing was even more choked by her words, and a faint blush appeared on her face.
"Brother Yuqing, you're blushing."
Princess Lingzhao turned around in surprise, and her scream made Song Yuqing's face turn red instantly.
"Having children is human nature."
Princess Lingzhao said this as if what she said was not the most normal thing.
Shen Lingshu sat aside, looking at the lively Princess Lingzhao and the blushing Song Yuqing. This simple, kind and noble princess and the talented scholar from a poor family were quite a match!
"Your Highness, I have something else to do..." Song Yuqing wanted to find an excuse to leave.
Princess Ling Zhao was anxious, and before she could even say a few words, she said, "Wait a minute, the snacks I had prepared haven't been delivered yet."
Princess Lingzhao's eyes moved, and she said, "By the way, this princess's little niece is also your niece. Don't you want to hug her?"
Song Yuqing: “…” He said as he couldn’t move his legs anymore.
Song Yuqing looked at the two identical children, whose eyes and eyebrows looked very much like Ling Shu. Could he really hug them?
"Princess, the two children have been out for so long, it's time for them to go home." Shen Lingshu politely refused.
Song Yuqing's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he pursed his lips and said, "Song has never held a child, so I won't hold one anymore."
"If you don't want to hug me, then let's go see the headquarters."
Princess Lingzhao blocked Song Yuqing's way. She refused to let him go. She signaled to the nurse, "Why don't you bring my concubine's nieces here? Let them meet their uncle."
The two wet nurses did not move, but looked at Shen Lingshu. The prince said that they did not need to listen to anyone else but only to Concubine Shen.
Shen Lingshu nodded slightly, and the nanny came forward holding the two children.
"He looks so handsome, just like my uncle."
Princess Lingzhao praised.
"Your Highness, be careful with your words."
Shen Lingshu's face darkened instantly.
"Ah, Concubine Shen, don't mind me. I mean, I want to be as good-looking as Brother Yu Qing."
Princess Lingzhao also realized her mistake and immediately frowned. She said, "Anyone who dares to misinterpret my meaning will be beaten to death."
"yes."
The maids knelt on the ground, and Princess Lingzhao said, "I heard from the people that nephews look like their uncles."
Then he has to be like a real uncle.
Shen Lingshu's eyes flickered slightly. She was about to leave when she saw Princess Lingzhao's maid coming: "Your Highness, the boat you asked for is here."
"Great! Send someone to row over here quickly. I want to pick lotus seeds by boat."
Princess Lingzhao said, impatiently: "Brother Yuqing, I'll go rowing and pick you up later."
After she finished speaking, Princess Lingzhao ran to get on the boat. Just looking at her back gave people a happy feeling.
As soon as Princess Lingzhao left, the two maids beside her, Guanyun went to get snacks, and Shangyue followed her to go boating. Suddenly, only Shen Lingshu and Song Yuqing were left in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
The two children were interested in the flowers nearby, so Zhuxin took the two wet nurses and the children to appreciate the flowers nearby.
Qing Jian also stood on the curved bridge.
"When you entered the palace for the selection, it was the Shen family who forced you to do it, right?"
Song Yuqing stared at her with burning eyes, his eyes full of surging emotions. They had clearly agreed that he would marry her after he passed the imperial examination!
When he arrived in Kyoto, he found out that she had already become a concubine in Prince Lin's palace.
In the first two days after hearing the news, Song Yuqing even wanted to rush into Prince Lin's Mansion and question her regardless of everything. In the end... all his resentment turned into the motivation to study. He wanted to pass the imperial examination and even be among the top three.
He wanted her to regret it.
But the moment the number one scholar saw her during the parade, there was only one thing left in his mind: he... would rather not have the identity of the third place scholar, but only wanted to have her.
"I volunteered."
Shen Lingshu's cold voice sounded.
"impossible."
Song Yuqing subconsciously denied that those letters were not fake.
"Your Majesty is a noble man. It is my blessing to serve you in this life."
Shen Lingshu's eyes were firm. When she mentioned the prince, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes: "The prince loves me. Although I am only a concubine now, I believe that the prince will not let me down."
"you……"
Song Yuqing looked at the gentle expression on her face. Once upon a time, such a look clearly belonged only to him.
Suddenly, Song Yuqing stood up and said, "Lingshu, I know you can't help yourself. Don't worry, I will help you in the future."
After saying that, Song Yuqing turned around and left quickly, and Qing Jian followed quickly.
Shen Lingshu stared at his departing figure with a bewildered expression. Was her acting not good enough? Or was her gaze not ruthless enough? Or had she somehow led Song Yuqing to believe she was forced to do something?
Not to mention that she doesn't like Song Yuqing, even if she does, there is no possibility for the two of them to be together now that she has entered the Prince Lin's Mansion.
"Is he not in a clear mind?" Shen Lingshu rubbed her forehead with a headache. She thought he had let it go since he was willing to marry the princess, but now it seems...
It seems that there is another purpose?
Shen Lingshu closed her eyes and began to think. She and Song Yuqing had no other interactions except when they were children in Zhuangzi and Song Yuqing would bring her delicious food from time to time.
But, when she was at Zhuangzi's house, she was less than ten years old. Could it be that she was already so deeply in love?
What's wrong?
