Shen Lansui felt relieved, and it turned out that it was just a test.
"Princess gets too much credit."
"You can afford this, it's not too much of a compliment." Rong Zhao picked up the piece of paper she had, unfolded it and glanced at her, "However, I didn't expect that you are so beautiful, but the words you write are so indescribable. Why, your fingers Fighting?"
Shen Lansui was a little embarrassed and her face was slightly red, "I was practicing a new font before, but I didn't get it right, so it turned out to be such a nondescript look."
"What calligraphy do you want to practice?"
"I want to practice cursive writing." Shen Lansui smiled.
Rong Zhao: "..."
She looked at the paper in her hand again, don't say it, don't say it, it smells like that.
After a moment of silence, she nodded and said, "Well, keep practicing. I think you may have talent in this area."
Shen Lansui: "."
"Speaking of which, there are so many poems about chrysanthemums, why did you choose this one?" Rong Zhao looked at her inquiringly.
"Isn't this a good sentence?" Shen Lansui said: "When autumn comes on September 8th, I will bloom and kill hundreds of flowers. I think this sentence is very powerful and highlights the characteristics of the chrysanthemum."
Rong Zhao's lips curled up slightly and his eyes rolled, "Very good, this is my favorite sentence too."
"That's a coincidence." Shen Lansui's eyes lit up.
"If you just look at your face, this sentence doesn't fit you, but I heard all about your previous confrontation with Mu Bingyan." Rong Zhao put down the paper and said seriously: "Now that I think about it, you are soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Indeed, this sentence is more appropriate.”
Shen Lansui stood up and said, "If you lose the princess's interest, please punish her."
"If I want to punish you, I won't ask you to come in alone." Rong Zhao stood up and helped her, holding her hand and said in a deep voice: "I know her temperament well, she can't tolerate sand in her eyes, she is arrogant and proud. To protect my shortcomings, if I say I hate you, it’s not true. I hate Lu Xingyue for real, and I hate Wujiwu for implicating you. Don’t take what she said to heart. You handled it very well today. happiness."
"Thank you princess."
Shen Lansui shook his head: "But it's really inappropriate to argue in the master's house."
Rong Zhao smiled, knew how to advance and retreat, and had a clear mind. Such talents were of great use. Unfortunately, he was already married, so Lu Xingyue was really cheap.
"You don't have to worry about the imperial edict she mentioned. If Lu Xingyue performs meritorious service in the future, he can also grant you a title when he is promoted. I won't be too verbose and will only give you four words -"
She looked into Shen Lansui's eyes, her eyes gentle and majestic, "Let's wait for the future."
Shen Lansui held her hand instead, looking confident and calm, "It's better to ask for yourself."
Rong Zhao was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "You dare to think so, but you are indeed very suitable to my taste. In a moment-"
"Princess—" Qingluan hurried in, with a bit of worry on his face, and glanced at Shen Lansui.
Rong Zhao raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?"
Qingluan whispered: "General Liang is here."
I came here, not to ask for a visit.
Shen Lansui keenly felt the difference between these two words, and the next moment her hand was let go. Rong Zhao's face was complicated for a moment, and she said softly: "I won't hold you back anymore, go play and save others." Worry."
"Yes, I take my leave." Shen Lansui bowed and turned to leave.
Qinghe opened the curtain for her and said with a smile: "Sister, please go slowly."
Shen Lansui smiled back, "Thank you."
As soon as she walked down the steps, she saw a man approaching quickly.
He wears black robes and leather belts, walks with wind, and is tall and intimidating. His eyes are as sharp as an eagle, and there is even a sense of danger when they look at each other.
This man is extremely handsome, but he is really not easy to get along with.
Shen Lansui turned sideways to let him pass.
The man stopped beside her.
The hairs all over Shen Lansui's body suddenly stood up.
"Are you Lu Xingyue's new wife?" The man's voice was unusually deep and deep, with a strong sense of oppression.
She didn't know what he wanted to do, so she nodded cautiously, "Yes."
The man raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "It's been a long time since we got together."
Shen Lansui: "???"
"Thank you..."
The man left before the words were spoken. Shen Lansui looked at his broad and straight back and was confused. Is this man Lu Xingyue's friend?
It was not a good place to stay for a long time. She walked forward quickly, and there was a faint exclamation from behind, followed by a scolding voice.
Shen Lansui's heart tightened and she walked faster.
After leaving the pavilion, Shen Lansui was about to breathe a sigh of relief when a chuckle suddenly came from the rockery behind him, "Beauty, you are alone."
Shen Lansui was startled and turned around to look, but she didn't pay attention to her feet. She stumbled and was about to fall. The man on the rockery suddenly jumped down and landed next to her as lightly as a cloud. He held her in his long arms. He pulled the person into his arms.
"Are you okay?" The visitor looked at her worriedly.
After Shen Lansui stood firm, she quickly distanced herself from him and looked at him suspiciously, "Why are you here, Master?"
"Don't you want to thank me?" the man asked without answering.
Shen Lansui's face was pale, "If you hadn't suddenly scared me, I wouldn't have stumbled. If you help me, it's even, so why should I thank you?"
"I didn't scare you." The man smiled, "Do you think I'm a man?"
This time it was Shen Lansui's turn to be confused, "Aren't you?"
She frowned and looked carefully at the person in front of her.
She has a moon-white robe, a jade crown and a brocade belt, and a slender figure. She is neither tall nor short among men, but she is still taller than ordinary women.
He has a jade-like face, long eyebrows, a high nose, and a pair of peach blossom eyes that seem to be smiling but not smiling. At first glance, he looks male and female, and he looks like a romantic young man.
She moved her gaze slightly downward, overlooking her Adam's apple.
Adam's apple exists in both men and women, but men's are more obvious. It cannot be determined based on this alone.
This man's chest... is also flat.
As if he knew what she was thinking, the man took her hand and put it on his heart.
Shen Lansui froze again and looked at her in surprise. Regardless of gender, there are still such unrestrained people in this dynasty?
She felt an obvious layer of restraint and understood instantly.
She was silent for a while, and the person in front of her raised an eyebrow, "So I really didn't mean to scare you, but I just saw you and Mu Bingyan confronting each other before and thought it was interesting and wanted to get to know each other."
Shen Lansui slowly withdrew his hand. The previous dissatisfaction disappeared and was replaced by strong curiosity.
The status of the noble ladies who can come to Princess Rong Zhao's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet is not ordinary. Except for Shen Hanfang, I don't know how she got in, but she is obviously an exception, and the popularity in front of her is extraordinary, which cannot be raised by a small family. But the more wealthy the family, the stricter the rules. How could she be allowed to dress up as a man and attend the banquet?
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were a woman before. Do you dare to ask me your name?"
"I am Ruan Huaishu. I am older than you. You can call me sister."
Ruan Huaishu pulled out a folding fan from nowhere, unfolded it with a "swish" sound, and half covered his face, his eyebrows slightly curved.
The peach blossoms on the fan are like blood, gorgeous and romantic, just like the person holding the fan.
Is anyone really watching?_(:з」∠)_Who can give me a shout?
