Chapter 20 Those nasty things that keep pestering me
Right at this moment.
There was suddenly a commotion outside the door.
"Sir Shen, the eldest princess is taking a hot spring bath inside, so it's really inconvenient for you to go in."
Pearl blocked the entrance to Hibiscus Pond.
Shen Qiunian's steps suddenly stopped, and the anxious look on his face was hard to hide.
"Please tell Aunt Pearl that I have something important to discuss with this princess."
Upon hearing this, Pearl remained standing, looking troubled. "Sir Shen, the princess is in the hot springs. Please wait patiently for a moment."
Chen Qiu Nian's expression darkened. "Aunt Zhenzhu, are you really going to embarrass me like this? The princess is soaking in the hot springs, and I'm not going to barge in. I just wanted to let you know, and you won't do it?"
Pearl was speechless for a moment and stood in front of the door, "Sir Shen, it's really inconvenient to pass on the message..."
"Aunt, are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?" Chen Qiu Nian lost all his patience and took a step towards Zhenzhu.
"Master Shen!" Zhenzhu lowered her hand that was blocking the door, folded her hands in front of her, stood straight, and her face showed no sign of retreat. "Master Shen, if you insist on breaking in, don't blame me for calling the guards."
"Heh." Shen Qiu Nian sneered, "You, a slave, do you think you can be above me?"
The panic on Pearl's face disappeared and she bowed.
"Sir Shen, you are my subject and I am your servant. I dare not put myself above you, Sir Shen.
But I am the eldest princess's personal maid, and I only take orders from the eldest princess. Since the eldest princess has instructed that no one is allowed to enter, if Lord Shen wants to force his way in, he will have to step over me.
But if Lord Shen goes in like this today and offends the princess, and I fail to stop him, I will certainly die as an apology..."
Chen Qiu Nian's face turned pale. He pointed at Zhenzhu with one finger and said "you you you..." for a long time. His face turned red with holding it in, but he didn't say a word.
The two people in the Hibiscus Pond were completely interrupted by the noise outside the door.
Huo Xiao stepped back slightly.
He stared at her quietly, his voice hoarse, "It seems to be Lord Shen outside."
Su Yunyao frowned, a trace of dissatisfaction on her face at having her good thing interrupted, "I know."
"Know?"
Huo Xiao's eyes became dim, and an indescribable emotion quickly flashed across his eyes.
He thought back to his years in the military.
From time to time, he heard about the eldest princess and Shen Qiu Nian, and his lips were tightly pursed into a straight line.
The eldest princess likes Shen Qiu Nian and follows him around all day, wanting to recruit him as her husband. This seems to be no secret throughout Da Xia.
Although the princess likes Chen Qiu Nian, Chen Qiu Nian seems to have no interest in the princess. A few days ago, he even asked the emperor to grant him a marriage with Lin Miaomiao.
Even the emperor had no choice but to do so.
After hearing this, the eldest princess was so heartbroken that she jumped into the lotus pond.
Although he didn't believe in rumors, which rumor was groundless?
"So the princess is deliberately trying to use this humble minister to anger Lord Shen?"
Huo Xiao felt a little sad in his heart.
"Angry at him?"
Su Yunyao couldn't suppress the sneer at the corner of her lips.
"Does he deserve it?"
"Then...Princess?"
A strong possessive desire, mixed with a trace of emotions that he himself was not even aware of, was constantly swirling.
at the same time.
Shen Qiu Nian stood with his hands behind his back.
Pacing back and forth outside the Hibiscus Pond.
From time to time, I would look towards the entrance of Hibiscus Pond.
His brows furrowed. "Aunt Pearl, how long will it take for the princess to come out? I really have something urgent to discuss with her."
Pearl pursed her lips and shook her head, "I don't know."
how long?
You'll have to ask General Huo.
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiu Nian took a deep breath and said patiently, "Aunt Zhenzhu, I just spoke out of turn. Could you please go in and tell me that I want to see the Princess..."
Zhenzhu bowed again.
"Sir Shen, the princess will summon me after she finishes her bath. Before that, please don't embarrass me anymore."
Shen Qiunian stared at Zhenzhu for a while, then pushed her away.
Pearl staggered and took several steps back, almost falling to the ground.
She didn't care at all that her ankle was hurt and just screamed loudly.
"Lord Shen..."
It seems like he wants to draw someone's attention.
Chen Qiu Nian had no intention of breaking into Hibiscus Pond, he just wanted Zhenzhu to help pass on the message.
In the past, he had been hiding from the eldest princess every day, whom he could see almost all the time. He had never imagined that one day it would be so difficult to meet her.
Just when he was one step away from the gate of Hibiscus Pond, a petal from inside the pond penetrated the window paper and scratched his neck.
Caught off guard by the pain, Shen Qiu Nian instantly felt a chill all over his body, and couldn't help but scream: "Ah!"
He raised his hand to cover his neck, bright red blood wrapped around a crimson rose petal, his eyes full of shock!
petal?
A tiny petal could penetrate the window paper and scratch his neck. Such profound martial arts internal strength is probably something that only a few people in the whole of Daxia can achieve.
Shen Qiunian's pupils trembled violently, and he looked towards the torn window paper.
"There's more than just the eldest princess in the Hibiscus Pond. Who else is there?"
Zhenzhu stood firm and said, "Master Shen, please wait patiently for a while."
Chen Qiu Nian suddenly realized why Zhenzhu was blocking his way and was unwilling to help pass the message.
If the princess was alone, what inconvenience would there be...
Su Yunyao raised her hand to pull Huo Xiao's cheek back, making him look directly at her. "General Huo is so angry. You broke this window. This princess is so cold."
Huo Xiao's eyebrows jumped, and he grabbed his inner garment that was floating on the water and wrapped it around Su Yunyao.
Su Yunyao: ...
"General Huo..." Su Yunyao dragged out her voice in dissatisfaction, "Next time I say I'm cold, General Huo, don't give me clothes to wear!"
Huo Xiao: ???
"Um?"
"Sister will teach you, next time I say I'm cold, you have to hug me."
Su Yunyao said this, lifting his chin with her fingertips. He always felt that her fingertips had a magical power that could make people's brains go blank in an instant.
Huo Xiao's eyebrows trembled and his face turned red unconsciously.
He was a little afraid to look directly at her and lowered his eyes. He wanted to avoid her sight, but he glanced at her beautiful collarbone and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.
Su Yunyao looked at him and couldn't help laughing.
“Haha ...
Huo Xiao's cheeks suddenly flushed, and with a hint of embarrassment, he said, "Princess..."
Su Yunyao looked at his ears which were turning red and purple.
"General Huo is truly pure and innocent. Don't worry, I'll teach you slowly in the future."
Su Yunyao seemed to be in a good mood and lifted his chin with her fingertips.
Huo Xiao's body stiffened noticeably. "The princess is obviously younger than me, why do you want me to call her sister?"
