It is a great honor to accompany the princess to appreciate flowers!
Which of the noble ladies who came today is not of noble status? Shen Ruoyan's title of Changning Hou's wife is not enough here.
However, she was the only one who caught the princess's eye!
For a moment, everyone was thinking in different ways. Some people were even asking which young men in the Marquis of Changning's mansion were still unmarried. Could it be that the princess had set her eyes on someone from her family?
"Is the princess unhappy?"
Shen Ruoyan didn't care about other people's thoughts. How they viewed him was their business, and as long as they didn't cause trouble, he didn't need to pay attention to them.
There is only one person she cares about.
"How did you tell that?" Song Siyuan glanced at her and felt that the wife of Marquis Changning seemed a little different from others.
And for some reason, she always felt that there was something familiar about Shen Ruoyan.
She is not annoying.
Now that the emperor holds the power, he no longer needs to discuss matters with the queen mother, nor does he have to act according to her mood. His own character is gradually beginning to reveal itself.
When the Queen Mother was still alive, she had many differences with her brother.
But she was a woman after all, and she did not care about state affairs, so there was nothing she could do even if she disagreed with her political views.
I can only keep my distance from him secretly, out of sight and out of mind. I even visit my mother less often, just to avoid my brother the emperor.
Everyone said she was the most honorable princess in Shengjing. She was second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Even the imperial concubines in the palace had to give her some respect and didn't dare act arrogantly in her presence.
But they didn't know that their princess was just a superficial beauty.
"I am a noble lady, and I am loved by everyone. How could I not be happy?" Song Siyuan's face showed a mocking smile, which disappeared in an instant. When she looked at him again, he had returned to his indifferent expression.
“Mrs. Shen, you’re overthinking it.”
Am I overthinking it, or have you learned to hide it now?
Shen Ruoyan felt lost, but she could understand that she was now a stranger to Song Siyuan.
She is a princess. Even if she is unhappy about something, how can she confide in her to the wife of a minister?
"Princess, please forgive me. I have overstepped my bounds." Shen Ruoyan was still worried, thinking that she should find an opportunity to find out the news about the princess's mansion.
In order to ensure that Song Siyuan had no worries, he had even designed a plan to have the late emperor grant her an imperial edict, telling her that if she ever encountered something she couldn't handle, she should announce this edict to the world.
That was the life-saving talisman he gave her. As long as the decree was there, even the emperor would have to obey.
After the flower viewing banquet, the news that Shen Ruoyan was favored by the princess also spread.
The reason was simple. At the banquet that day, the princess only talked to Shen Ruoyan.
As soon as she returned home, Lu Jing got the news.
But I was too embarrassed to come over.
When Shen Ruoyan was invited by the princess, she was still under house arrest by the Lu family. It is said that family disgrace should not be made public, so before she went to the banquet, Madam Lu called her over and gave her a warning, telling her not to talk nonsense outside, so as not to lose the reputation of the Lu family.
Now that she is back, everyone seems to have forgotten about the house arrest and no one mentions it again.
Qiu Ye strolled outside for a while, and when he came back, he closed the door and said, "Madam, all the people guarding outside have withdrawn."
Lu Jing said the house arrest, of course, it was not just lip service. He sent people to watch around the yard, as long as Shen Ruoyan left here, someone would immediately give him a tip-off.
Shen Ruoyan had already noticed it, but he just asked the people below to pretend not to know.
"Don't worry about it."
The Lu family had more ideas than the stars in the sky. Their favorite thing to do all day was to use the abacus. Lu Jing, in particular, would cling to the abacus, believing that if he dialed loudly enough, everything he wanted would come quickly.
Does he think he is God's biological son?
wishful thinking!
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived. Shen Ruoyan was just thinking about it in his heart. Just as he sat down, a voice of announcement came from outside: "Madam, the Marquis is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Jing couldn't wait any longer and stepped in with a big stride.
He walked briskly as if riding the wind. "Madam, why didn't you tell me you were back? I asked the kitchen to prepare a meal for you. Have you eaten well at the Princess's Mansion?"
Even dogs find belated care unwelcome.
Shen Ruoyan smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Lord? The Princess's Mansion is full of delicacies from mountains and seas, so of course she's eating well."
Even if he was trying to show his concern for me, he didn't have to say it like this.
If this gets out, people will think that she dislikes the poor food at the Princess's Mansion and wants more food when she comes back!
It's really something that can't do anything good but is more likely to cause trouble!
Lu Jing didn't hear the sarcasm in her words. Instead, he nodded and said calmly, "As long as you're happy, I'm never able to enjoy these banquets. I'm worried that you'll end up like me."
In the past, when he went to the palace to attend banquets, although there were delicacies in front of him, he was too nervous and timid to eat or drink properly, and he didn't even dare to take the initiative to pick up the cold dishes.
I just watch what others do and then do the same.
So every time I come back, I have to ask the kitchen to make me a bowl of noodles to comfort my aggrieved stomach.
He used to tell Fang Rou about this all the time, and Fang Rou would always agree with him, saying that the palace was nothing special, not even offering a good meal. What's the point of a palace banquet? It's better to have a good meal in your own house, free and easy.
Lu Jing subconsciously looked at Shen Ruoyan, waiting for her answer.
Shen Ruoyan's eyes paused for a moment, and then slowly widened, "My Lord, please don't tell anyone about this!"
Shen Ruoyan said seriously: "It is a great honor to be invited by the princess. The meal prepared is also exquisite and full of sincerity. Naturally, I am very happy and have no dissatisfaction at all!"
Lu Jing is not careful with his mouth, and he might have let something slip when he was drinking with his friends outside.
He spread these fabricated words about others to elevate himself.
If it was an ordinary family, it wouldn't be a big deal, just some nonsense. But if it was a princess from the royal family, then it was not something that could be discussed casually!
Sometimes, Shen Ruoyan really wondered how Lu Jing got the position of Marquis?
He is really, terribly stupid!
If the old marquis were still alive, he would probably understand deeply what it means to be an unfilial descendant!
"As long as you are happy, why be so serious?" Lu Jing was a little confused and didn't understand why Shen Ruoyan suddenly became angry.
In the past, when he talked about these things with Fang Rou, Rouer would be very understanding and would complain with him and comfort him.
Why is it that when I come to Shen Ruoyan, I feel like I have done something wrong?
Women’s hearts are like the sea and difficult to understand!
