Chapter 29 Flower Viewing Banquet
October 1st.
"elder sister!"
As soon as Shen Jiasui had finished packing, Shen Jiaheng came looking for him impatiently.
The Imperial College is closed today, so Shen Jiaheng rushed home after school yesterday. After dinner, he chatted with his sister for a long time.
Upon hearing the voice, Shen Jiasui turned his head to look at the door, and was shocked to see that Shen Jiaheng had dark circles under his eyes.
"Brother Heng."
Shen Jiasui stepped forward, took a closer look, and sighed for a long while: "Did you not sleep last night?"
Last night, she told Shen Jiaheng the whole story of her rebirth. She did not use the excuse of dreaming, but told Shen Jiaheng directly that she had lived again.
Shen Jiaheng was stunned when he heard this. When he returned from Chunhuayuan, he looked dazed and even his steps were unsteady.
Shen Jiasui felt very reluctant, after all, Shen Jiaheng was only fifteen years old.
But she soon hardened her heart.
In the face of disaster, she and her brother Heng must stand up, and together with their parents, support the Shen family and change their destiny!
"sister--"
Shen Jiaheng called out softly, and his eyes turned red under the gaze of Shen Jiansui.
But the next moment, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Sister, don't be afraid, this time will be different!"
Shen Jiasui curled his lips when he heard this, and replied with a smile: "Yeah!"
......
Today is the day when Prince Rong’s Mansion holds a flower-viewing banquet.
After having lunch at home, around 3 p.m., Ji Wan took her two children out.
In the carriage, Ji Wan and Shen Jiasui whispered about the essentials of the banquet.
Shen Jiasui listened carefully. Although he agreed to attend the flower-viewing banquet just to comfort his parents, he must not make any mistakes at the banquet.
She had already made up her mind that after she and her mother met the elders, she would find a secluded place and sit until the end of the banquet.
When the carriage arrived at the intersection of Shuntian Street, there was a traffic jam in front of it. There were simply too many people attending the banquet today.
Prince Rong is the younger brother of the current emperor. He is a friendly and respectful brother to the emperor. Although he has a fiefdom, he has never left the capital to become a vassal.
This time, Princess Rong took the lead in organizing the banquet. Everyone who received the invitation felt extremely honored and few refused.
Ji Wan lifted the curtain and took a look, then simply took Shen Jiasui and his sister out of the car and walked there.
When he arrived at the door and handed over the invitation, the servant saw that it was from General Dingguo's mansion, and hurriedly welcomed the person in with a smile.
Prince Rong's mansion covers a very large area. Although there are many people in the mansion today, it does not seem crowded at all. Everyone speaks in low voices, and servants stand by along the way. Everything is in order.
Ji Wan and the other two were led to the main hall. Since Shen Jiaheng was a foreign man, he just performed the formalities outside and was then taken to the men's guest area.
Ji Wanze led Shen Jiasui into the reception room.
As soon as Shen Jiasui raised his eyes, he saw the young lady in the main seat, who was wearing a crimson purple brocade dress.
Her eyebrows were like crescent moons, her eyes were like clear springs, she was truly an angel's beauty, but for some reason, her whole body seemed to be shrouded in a faint sadness.
Ji Wan pulled Shen Jiasui to her knees and bowed, saying respectfully, "Your Highness and I are here to see the Crown Princess."
Shen Jiasui knelt down and his heart skipped a beat.
It turned out to be the Crown Princess, no wonder...
Prince Xianhuai was a man of both talent and virtue, kind and loving to the people, but he was born with deficiencies, and died two years ago at the age of only twenty-one.
The Crown Princess and Prince Xianhuai were a young couple with deep affection for each other. No wonder they now look so sad and unable to smile.
When he stood up, Shen Jiasui seized the opportunity and couldn't help but look at the Crown Princess again.
If she remembered correctly, the Crown Princess would die within a few months.
In her previous life, she was shocked when she heard the news, after all, the Crown Princess was very young.
Later it was learned that the Crown Princess could not let go of Prince Xianhuai and died of excessive worry.
At this time, Ji Wan pulled Shen Jiasui to pay her respects to Princess Rong, who was sitting next to the Crown Princess.
Princess Rong is in her early forties, with a gentle and smooth face. At this moment, she has a smile on her lips, and her eyes are full of tenderness and kindness. She is truly dignified and elegant.
"Mrs. Shen, please stand up. This is the beloved daughter of General Shen and Mrs. Shen, right? Come, step forward."
Princess Rong waved to Shen Jiasui.
Shen Jiasui hurried forward, with his brows slightly lowered, and was very respectful.
"This minister has met the Crown Princess and the Prince's Consort."
Princess Rong responded softly, and after looking at Shen Jiasui carefully, her eyes lit up slightly.
The rumors turned out to be unreliable.
The girl from the Shen family has red lips and a fair face. She is clearly a beauty, especially her eyes, which are clear and lively, as if they can really speak.
I don’t know where Huaizhen heard these gossips from, but he was very displeased with the girl from the Shen family.
Princess Rong believed that she had seen countless people and would not make a mistake. She thought that her daughter was prejudiced against Shen Jiasui.
"What a kind and good child. I'm afraid it's too restrictive for you here. Let's go to the West Courtyard. Huaizhen and the others are all there. It's quite lively there."
As soon as Princess Rong finished speaking, a maidservant appeared waiting by her side, ready to lead the way.
Shen Jiasui smiled and answered yes. When he saw his mother nodded, he followed the maid out.
Before leaving the yard, she took a last glance at the Crown Princess sitting in the main seat, a beautiful life that would disappear in the near future.
Among the ladies who were chatting and laughing, she was really young and really silent.
Shen Jiasui couldn't help but frown.
It has been more than two years since Crown Prince Xianhuai passed away. Although the Crown Princess still has sadness in her eyes, she has survived the most difficult times. She has a little grandson who is less than five years old. How could she die of excessive worry and grief?
Although Shen Jiasui was doubtful, she knew that royal affairs were not something she could interfere with, so she could only sigh and turn away.
On the way to the West Courtyard, you can see pavilions and towers scattered around, with winding corridors and lush flowers and trees, showing luxury and elegance.
When Shen Jiasui was halfway there, he said to the maid who was leading the way, "I won't go to the west courtyard. I'll just rest in the pavilion in front. You can go by yourself. You don't need to wait on me."
The maid's face changed slightly when she heard that, and she actually advised: "Miss Shen, the west courtyard is full of flowers and the scenery is even better, why don't you go and have a look?"
When Shen Jiasui heard this, he glanced at the maid with a little surprise.
The maid looked as if she was eager for her to go to the west courtyard.
Coincidentally, she is a rebellious person and doesn't want to go to the West Courtyard today.
Shen Jiasui waved his hand, "No need, this place is great."
As she spoke, she walked straight forward. The maid looked a little helpless and turned her head to glance behind her.
Shen Jiasui turned a deaf ear to her, but before she had taken a few steps, she heard hurried footsteps not far away, and there was no sign of them stopping until they were behind her.
Shen Jiasui listened to the sound and determined the location. She found the right moment and turned sideways. She saw a person in a pink skirt passing by where she had just stood and rushing straight forward.
She moved her fingers, but gave up the idea of helping him, and watched the man fall to the ground with a thud.
"ah--"
