"Your Highness the Prince of Yan has good looks, a good figure, and good skills. What do I have to regret?" Shen Qingwu lay in the quilt with only his little face exposed, glaring back defiantly.
Chu Guannan paused as he covered her with the quilt, then exerted force and covered her head with the quilt, "That's better!"
He left these four words, turned around and walked away without any regrets.
After making sure that no one was outside, he was about to raise his hand to push the window when he heard Shen Qingwu's cheerful laughter from behind, "Chu Guannan, I see your ears are red."
Chu Guannan pushed open the window without stopping and climbed out.
"True innocence or fake innocence?" Shen Qingwu looked at the gauze curtain above his head. It was shaking crooked last night.
…
The two secret guards waited outside all night, and finally waited for their master to come out, and hurriedly followed him out.
After returning to Prince Yan's Mansion, the two went to find the eldest brother Gu Ying and told him about their dilemma last night, hoping to get a solution.
Lone Shadow sat on the beam, his long legs swinging casually, "I have to ask the master about this."
They both rolled their eyes.
"Or you can go ask Miss Shen. If she agrees, you can just go in and invite her next time." Lone Ying's silver-white mask concealed his smile.
He didn't say that this kind of thing will most likely never happen again, and you two don't need to worry about it.
"But I also feel what you said about the master's internal strength improving in the past few days." Gu Ying began to be interested in the colorful world of men and women again.
Are women addictive, or can women enhance one's inner strength?
He didn't dare to ask Chu Guannan about this.
Chu Guannan's strength has been at a bottleneck for some time, and his movements have been slow as a result.
Fortunately, Chu Guannan was not in danger in Kyoto City.
But after meeting Shen Qingwu, Chu Guannan seemed to have an epiphany overnight, and all his eight extraordinary meridians were opened. In just three days, he broke through the bottleneck and improved rapidly.
Gu Ying was secretly guessing the reason.
Thinking of this, he pulled out two silver notes from his chest and threw them to the two people below:
"You are not young anymore, you should know about the relationship between men and women. We are not practicing virginity skills, so we can go have a drink if we have nothing to do. Just be careful not to drink too much and reveal your secrets."
These secret guards who have been trained since childhood have to rely on their own strength and almost none of them have started a family.
Most people never experience love affairs until they die because it is easy to expose their identity and break the rules.
"Boss, isn't this against the rules?" The two men first put the banknotes in their pockets, and then looked suspiciously at Lone Ying who seemed to have taken the wrong medicine.
"You are not jealous because we didn't do the job well yesterday but the master didn't order you to be punished, so you deliberately tempted us to make mistakes today so that you can have a reason to punish us?" Another person also questioned.
Lone Ying pulled out the dagger from his waist and threw it at the people below, "Give me back my money, you ungrateful person."
The two men dodged sideways, turned around and ran away with the money.
Instead of drinking wine, it would be a good idea to buy some good wine and meat and go back to the palace to have a drink with the brothers who are resting during the day.
…
Shen Qingwu slept until he woke up naturally, opened his eyes and got up at the end of the morning hour, and stretched comfortably.
Pushing open the window, Wu Chunxiang in the kitchen immediately poked her head out, "Miss, do you want some water to wash up?"
Shen Qingwu's mood brightened as he looked at the energetic Wu Chunxiang.
"No, there's well water in the yard. I can do it myself."
He supported himself on the window frame with one hand, jumped up, and nimbly flipped out of the window.
Wu Chunxiang was so scared that she dropped the vegetables in her hand and rushed towards her, but before she could even lift her foot, she saw Shen Qingwu had already landed safely.
Shen Qingwu smiled at Wu Chunxiang.
Wu Chunxiang withdrew her hand awkwardly and smiled.
Wu Cuicui, who was cooking, noticed the noise and hurried out.
He looked at the vegetables on the ground in confusion, then at Shen Qingwu who was already pressing water to wash his face.
He bent down to pick up the vegetables on the ground and looked at Wu Chunxiang in confusion.
Looking at Shen Qingwu who was only wearing a layer of middle clothing, the old maid couldn't help but mutter: "Miss, it's cold in the early spring, please wear something thicker before going out."
Wutong Garden has its own small front yard. Shen Qingwu has not gotten up yet, and the male servants will not come here without being summoned or having an urgent matter, but it is cold in the morning.
The cold water splashed on Shen Qingwu's face, and his sleepiness was completely dispelled.
He turned his head and smiled at Wu Cuicui, then asked, "Do you know how to comb your hair?"
The two of them immediately looked embarrassed.
Shen Qingwu nodded in understanding, "You guys go and take care of your own things."
She came back yesterday, wearing a coarse linen dress and had her hair braided into a big pigtail.
She is preparing to enter the palace today.
She returned to the room with cold water droplets on her face.
There aren't many decent clothes in the closet. They are all tacky in style and brightly colored mixed together. They make you look silly when you put them on.
Shen Qingwu spent a long time before finally putting together a pure red ruqun and long gown, and was barely satisfied.
Sitting in front of the mirror, I recall the woman's bun I saw yesterday:
Sister Zhao Ruyun looks like a nouveau riche. Even if she wears plain clothes, she has pearl hairpins and earrings plugged in. No, no, no.
Shen Qingtang was dressed in plain clothes, so low-key that he had little presence, which was not acceptable either.
There weren't many people to refer to, so Shen Qingwu found a red headband.
She combed her black hair straight and tied it casually behind her head with a red hairband, exuding a lazy and comfortable beauty.
…
Shen Qingwu quickly entered the imperial study, taking the jade ruyi that the emperor had given her when he granted her and the prince a marriage.
This was the promise the emperor made at the time. The jade ruyi was Shen Qingwu's pass to enter the palace.
The emperor looked at Shen Qingwu who was perfunctorily paying his respects in front of him, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The silly daughter of the Shen family doesn't wear any colorful makeup, and her appearance is so pure and elegant.
He stood up and looked at the girl, who was holding her chin slightly raised and neither humble nor arrogant, and nodded with satisfaction, "She does seem to be smarter than before. The Shen family is very happy."
"Tell me, what brings you to the palace to see me today?" The emperor smiled kindly, sat back at the desk, and asked the eunuch beside him to bring a chair for Shen Qingwu.
The emperor has always given great face to the new noble family, the Shen family.
Shen Qingwu didn't hesitate and sat down.
Looking across the table at the man who looked nothing like Chu Guannan, she smiled sweetly and said, "I came to the palace today to apologize for my crime."
The emperor looked at her sitting leisurely, not at all panicked. He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Oh?"
"My uncle is truly foolish. He has arranged a ghost marriage for me, ignoring my previous engagement with the Crown Prince and without even seeing my body. This is truly outrageous."
"I have come to the palace today to plead guilty and to beg for mercy. I hope Your Majesty will not bear grudges against me. I have lived in the countryside for many years and do not have much experience."
Shen Qingwu leaned forward slightly with his hands on the table, his almond-shaped eyes twinkling as he looked at the emperor with admiration.
The emperor looked at Shen Qingwu's flattering appearance and paused for a moment, his face suddenly darkening. "Shen Qingwu, I see that you came to the palace this time to apologize, but in fact you are filing a complaint against the Crown Prince, right?"
