Chapter 68 When did this prince have a younger sister?
Shen Yuning pondered for a while and said: "Isn't tomorrow Concubine Chan's birthday party?"
She also received the invitation this morning.
Lin You nodded.
"Then you go back first, and I will go to the palace tomorrow. At that time, I will stay in the palace for a while on the pretext of accompanying my mother, and then..."
Shen Yuning said this, whispering in Lin You's ear.
After listening, Lin You raised a thumbs up to her. The two chatted and talked, and they actually talked about their future life. Shen Yuning couldn't help but be full of longing for the future.
About an hour later, the eldest princess and Lin You came out of the yard talking and laughing.
Shen Wen, who was kneeling outside the door, had numb feet and his knees were in great pain. It was a scorching sun, and he was surrounded by the sound of people talking. He was about to faint.
He saw Shen Yuning and Lin You coming out in a trance, and he tried to open his eyes, "Ning'er."
In front of outsiders, he still had to pretend that he loved Shen Yuning deeply.
And Shen Yuning also returned to her previous gentle and loving appearance, and stepped forward to help him up.
Lin You glanced at Shen Wen, "I came here today on the orders of the Queen Mother and the Emperor to let the eldest princess enter the palace tomorrow. I hope the prince consort will not play any tricks again."
Hearing this, Shen Wen hurriedly bowed, "I obey your order."
Lin You felt disgusted when this man looked at him for one more time, so he left.
The people on the street were still talking about it, wondering what Shen Wen had done to deserve such a punishment and warning from the Imperial Concubine.
Shen Wen smiled dryly as he watched Lin You's carriage go away, then he entered the Prince's Mansion. As soon as the door closed, Shen Wen grabbed Shen Yuning's wrist fiercely, "What did you say to the Imperial Concubine?"
"Did you tell her about that?"
His face was full of cruelty.
Although he had warned Shen Yuning, there was no guarantee that she would not listen.
Shen Yuning's hand hurt from being strangled by him, but she still smiled, "Wen Lang, husband and wife are one body, we share the same fate, how could I let others know about such a scandal."
Looking at the bitter smile of the woman in front of him, Shen Wen couldn't help but feel distressed, "Sorry Ning'er, I was reckless just now."
He immediately ordered someone to bring ointment and help Shen Yuning apply the ointment. When his mood stabilized, he asked carefully, "Ning'er, about the child..."
Shen Yuning's eyes were slightly drooping, but when she raised them again, they had become gentle, "Can I think about it for a few more days?"
"Okay, think about it for a few days, think about your lovely children, think about our happy future, and you will be able to let it go."
Seeing her attitude soften, Shen Wen felt that there was hope, so he agreed, with a smile on his face.
The numb and painful legs no longer hurt.
That night, Shen Wen slept very soundly, but Shen Yuning could not sleep for a long time.
The next day, she looked at her haggard self in the bronze mirror. She was afraid that she would be seen and worried by the Queen Mother when she entered the palace, so she asked the maid to put on heavy makeup for herself.
Everyone knew that Concubine Chan was the Queen Mother's niece, and was deeply loved by the Queen Mother. She was also the little legitimate daughter that the Duke's Mansion held in their hearts. After receiving the invitation, no one refused.
Among these people, Lin Xue was one of them.
Lian didn't want to go with Lin Xue, but thinking that she would see Lin You when she entered the palace, she had to go with Lin Xue with a cold face. However, Lian didn't let Lin Xue ride in the same carriage with her, but let her sit in the back one.
Lin Xue pursed her lips, it was obvious that Lian was embarrassing her.
Halfway through the journey, Lian's carriage collided with someone else's carriage.
Hearing the quarrel in front, Lin Xue naturally wanted to take the opportunity to show off.
When she walked to the front, she saw the guards beside Shen Xian arguing with Lian's coachman.
One accused the other of driving too fast, and the other accused him of not paying attention to the road.
Lin Xue walked to the middle and whispered in the direction of Shen Xian's carriage, "Is it Prince Xian?"
Not long after she finished speaking, Shen Xian's voice came from the carriage, "Since you know me, why don't you make way for me?"
The voice was very indifferent, which made Lin Xue confused.
Could it be that Brother Xian didn't recognize her voice?
With such doubts, Lin Xue walked to the window and lowered her voice slightly, "Brother Xian, it's me."
"Xue'er."
When there were many people around, Lin Xue usually followed the rules and called Shen Xian Prince Xian, but in private she called him Brother Xian.
Although, her voice was not much lowered, and everyone around heard it.
Everyone was wondering how Lin Xue could have such a good relationship with Prince Xian, when they heard another indifferent voice in the carriage, "Haha, the girl is really bold, when did this prince have a sister?"
Lin Xue was shocked when she heard the words, and the people around her couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, I really thought that Prince Xian had a sister, but I didn't expect it to be nonsense. This girl is really shameless."
"I don't know which girl she is?"
"Hey, don't you know her? She is the one from the General's Mansion, a fake lady."
"Hiss, it turns out to be this one, haha, no wonder, such a shameless person doesn't look like someone from the General's Mansion."
The discussions around her ears became more and more unpleasant, and Lin Xue's face turned green.
At this time, Lian also got off the carriage, bowed to Shen Xian, said a few words of apology, and then drove her own carriage to the side to make way for Shen Xian.
Shen Xian did not think too much about it.
He still had to hurry to the Prince's Mansion to pick up the princess. This was what Lin You told him yesterday, saying that he was afraid that the Prince would use some tricks to prevent Shen Yuning from entering the palace, so he asked him to go and pick her up.
Originally, he could have ignored it, but he wanted to see Lin You. His intuition told him that this banquet would definitely be exciting.
When the princess saw Shen Xian, she was very surprised. He smiled and said, "It's on the way, so I came here to be with the niece."
Shen Wen frowned. Shen Xian's mansion was not on the way to him at all.
Shen Yuning bowed and got into his carriage.
In fact, after thinking about it for a while, Shen Yuning figured out why Shen Xian came here.
At that time, in Concubine Chan's palace, all the palace maids were preparing in an orderly manner.
She just wanted to hold a big ceremony to tell everyone that she was still the favored Concubine Chan, so that people would not look down on her.
The Queen Mother naturally knew what she was thinking, but she did not stop her. She wanted to see what Concubine Chan would do. Only if she did it, she could send her back to the Duke's Mansion.
Of course, if she didn't do it, everything would be fine.
This was the result she was happy to see.
"Your Majesty, the Princess and Prince Xian are here." The Queen Mother
was lying on the couch taking a nap, and she heard Nanny Su say this happily, and her heavy eyelids woke up instantly, "Quick, help me up."
When the Queen Mother saw the Princess coming in at the door, her eyes suddenly turned red, "Ning'er, your mother heard that you..."
She stopped talking halfway when she found Prince Xian next to her.
Seeing that the two had something to say, Shen Xian immediately found an excuse to leave.
His mission was originally just to send Shen Yuning to Shouren Palace.
Now, he should go find Concubine You Gui and eat melons!
