At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, another layer of snow fell in the capital. Shen Zhizhi had increased her meditation time since she left the palace and returned home that day.
But she was too young, and the palace was in Kyoto, where people gathered. The aura was not as strong as that in the surrounding mountains, so the effect was not significant.
After Shen Zhizhi finished regurgitating today, she collapsed on the couch tiredly. Her normally round eyes were half-closed in exhaustion.
Qiu Yu on the side thought she was sleepy, so he came over to coax her to sleep. However, after coaxing her for a long time, she didn't feel sleepy. In the end, she got up in a hurry and hid in the corner of the bed to play.
Qiu Yu couldn't help but laugh when she saw Shen Zhizhi, who was pointing her butt at her for some unknown reason, and sat aside to continue making new clothes for her.
Shen Zhizhi quietly opened her own system store.
Ever since she bought the exorcism talisman at the palace last time, she had been wondering if there would be any other belongings of her own in it. However, she couldn't see it every time she came in during this period, and there were even some things she didn't pay much attention to on weekdays. Everything that arrived disappeared.
Shen Zhizhi looked at the shopping mall interface in front of her seriously with a sullen face, recalling the products that had disappeared before, but the more anxious she became, the less she could remember them.
However, the more this happened, the more she doubted whether those things were related to herself. Otherwise, why didn't they disappear before? Why did they have to wait until she started to doubt them and then disappear all of a sudden?
But no matter how suspicious she was, she couldn't find any evidence. After buying the talisman and seal, the page disappeared faster than a ghost!
Shen Zhizhi thought in frustration that the system over there was actually laughing at her, and a contemptuous expression appeared in her mind.
Shen Zhizhi: "..."
She stared at the expression with wide eyes and disbelief, then angrily scolded the system in her heart for being shameless.
Even if he sells her things, he still dares to despise her! ! !
Shen Zhizhi put her hands on her hips and began to curse.
Qiu Yu, who was sewing clothes on the side, didn't understand. She thought she was playing with her, and she laughed so cutely for a long time.
The system was so dizzy with being scolded in her mind that she couldn't help but finally turned into a small white flag and waved it back and forth to express surrender.
Only then did Shen Zhizhi put down her little hands angrily, temporarily calming down her anger and preparing to scold again next time.
Princess Ancheng and Chunlian were counting the money owed by the Shen family for repaying the dowry this month, so Qiu Yu and a maid were left in the house to look after Shen Zhizhi.
Shen Zhizhi was tired from scolding just now, so she lay on the couch with her mouth pursed and fell asleep.
"Oh, today's money has been delivered!"
"Is there anyone? The money has been sent, come and get it!"
As soon as Qiu Yu covered Shen Zhizhi with the quilt, she heard sounds outside. Aunt Zhang who was delivering things shouted several times.
Qiu Yu frowned and was afraid of waking up the little princess, so she told the little maid in the room to keep an eye on Shen Zhizhi and go out to take a look.
Because it was the twelfth lunar month, some maids and guards in the courtyard were sent out to purchase things, so there were fewer people than usual.
There are still some people who are following the princess to check the accounts, and the rest are going to inspect the restaurants and banks under the name of the princess and the little princess. As a result, the manpower is actually somewhat insufficient.
After Qiu Yu went out, she saw Nanny Zhang carrying a lot of things, complaining endlessly about being tired, and seeing her coming, she hurriedly put the things in her hands.
Qiu Yu helped her get it to the back, but she didn't see Shen Wanqi standing furtively outside the hospital.
Seeing Qiu Yu and Nanny Zhang going to the backyard, Shen Wanqi felt relieved and strode in with his head held high. He coughed lightly and then opened the door and entered the house that Qiu Yu had just left.
After finding a reason to send the little maid away, Shen Wanqi immediately went into the inner bedroom, walked to the sleeping Shen Zhizhi, and gently removed the gold bracelet on one of her hands and the gold on one of her feet. All the rings were taken off.
Afterwards, he saw some exquisitely crafted gold and silver objects scattered on the couch. He quickly picked up a few and put them in his sleeves. After looking around, he also took a particularly beautiful ornament away with him.
Although Shen Zhizhi's practice has not made much progress in the past few days, the sensitivity of her five senses has still improved. Since Shen Wanqi came in, she has felt a strange smell and her sleep has been a little uneasy.
After Shen Wanqi finished taking the things, Shen Zhizhi woke up with a kick and met Shen Wanqi's guilty eyes.
Shen Zhizhi: "..."
Why is Shen Wanqi here! ? When Shen Wanqi saw Shen Zhizhi looking at him with eyes wide open and her mouth closed, she was about to cry, so she immediately said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, dad just misses you and comes to see you, don't cry, don't cry."
Shen Wanqi carried a sleeve of gold and silver things for fear of being discovered. He was afraid of any disturbance, let alone Shen Zhizhi's cry.
Seeing that Shen Zhizhi was temporarily stabilized, he hurriedly turned around and left. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, an earth-shattering cry echoed through the entire room.
Shen Wanqi thought about it and raised his legs to run, but unexpectedly, he tripped over the threshold under his feet and fell straight down. With a bang, his face came into close contact with the ground.
What's even more unfortunate is that in order to balance his body, Shen Wanqi kept waving his hands in the air, and after falling down, everything in his sleeves fell out.
A scream echoed through the sky accompanied by Shen Zhizhi's wails.
It happened that outside the courtyard were several ladies from Gaoming who had already made an appointment to visit Princess Ancheng. After hearing the noise, they thought something had happened and hurriedly led people over.
When he pushed open the ajar door, he saw the dignified Pingyuan Marquis Shen Wanqi lying on the ground. There were scattered gold and silver ornaments in front of him, and there was even an ornament.
The few imperial ladies did not expect to see this scene, and were stunned on the spot. The little maid who had just been pushed away by Shen Wanqi ran back in a hurry when she heard the cry, and stared at her with wide eyes. Shen Wanqi is still awake.
He exclaimed: "Master Hou!"
Shen Zhizhi's cries and screams just now were too tragic, and a group of people in the backyard rushed over after hearing it.
I also didn't expect to see such a scene.
Princess Ancheng ordered Qiu Yu to lead the ladies to the main hall for tea, and sent someone to help Shen Wanqi up, while she went to pick up Shen Zhizhi who was crying loudly.
When Shen Zhizhi saw her mother coming, she cried even louder. While crying, she patted the wrist of the other hand with her little hand, and then patted her ankle.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuah, steal, steal... bad!"
Princess Ancheng was stunned. She didn't expect that her precious daughter would be able to talk when she came back just to check things in the backyard! ?
What the hell is going on? Are you so angry that you are talking?
While crying, Shen Zhizhi raised her hands to show Princess Ancheng her empty little wrists, and then raised her feet desperately to show her her equally empty little ankles.
[Woooooooooo, that bad guy Shen Wanqi stole Zhizhi’s bracelets and anklets! 】
[Woooooh, big bad guy! Bastard! 】
[That’s Zhizhi’s favorite! ! ! 】
"secretly!"
Shen Zhizhi was afraid that Princess Ancheng wouldn't understand, so she put her little hand in front of her eyes and spoke clearly.
Seeing such a clear meaning, Princess Ancheng understood it even if she didn't hear Shen Zhizhi's inner voice. No wonder she just saw the gold and silver jewelry scattered on the floor at the door. It turned out to be Shen Wanqi who took advantage of her absence. It was stolen from Zhizhi!
Princess Ancheng hurriedly comforted the crying baby girl, picked up her little hand with her fingers and asked, "Did you lose the little gold rings on your hands and feet?"
Seeing that Princess Ancheng understood what she meant, Shen Zhizhi immediately pursed her lips and nodded.
Before he finished, he pointed at the pile of gadgets he had brought back before.
【These are missing too! Shen Wanqi also stole it! 】
[That was given to Zhizhi by the emperor’s uncle! 】
[Zhizhi couldn’t bear to carry it with her all the time! 】
[Ugh...Shen Wanqi is shameless and steals Zhizhi's things! 】
"Come quickly! Master Hou seems to have fainted after falling!"
Princess Ancheng comforted the sobbing Shen Zhizhi distressedly, and then heard an exclamation from the door.
She frowned and wiped Shen Zhizhi's tears, wrapped her clothes tightly, and then walked over with her in her arms. However, before she could reach her, she heard another exclamation.
"Ah! Call the imperial doctor! The Marquis's front tooth fell out! It's cracked!"
Shen Zhizhi, who was still sobbing, burst out laughing when she heard this.
Princess Ancheng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her smiling. When she walked to the door and saw Shen Wanqi's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Wanqi's originally fair face was now dirty, his mouth and nose were blurred with blood, and the place where his front teeth used to be was now empty.
Just like Shen Zhizhi's wrists and ankles were empty just now.
Several Madam Gaoming came over with Qiu Yu because they were worried, and what they saw when they came over was the strange scene in front of them.
Princess Ancheng put her handkerchief against her cheek. It looked like she was uncontrollably sad, but in fact she was hiding the smile on her face. After a long while, she said:
"Why don't you go to the old lady's place and ask someone to carry the Marquis back? Then send the imperial doctor over to see what to do with the missing front tooth."
Qiu Yu pursed her lips tightly, fearing that she would laugh out loud. After hearing this, she nodded desperately, and then immediately ordered the guards to go to the front to call the imperial doctor.
"Quickly lower your head and search to see where the half of the tooth that Mr. Hou knocked out is. Maybe if you find the imperial doctor, you can find a way to put it back!"
Princess Ancheng spoke with a serious face and ordered the maids and guards around her to lower their heads and look for their teeth.
The few ladies standing behind couldn't hold back their smiles after hearing this. They immediately covered their mouths with a handkerchief and turned around, trembling with laughter.
After laughing, I felt ashamed of my good sisters. Princess Ancheng had just covered her face in anxiety and cried. How could they laugh out loud at this time to add insult to injury!
Several people looked at each other, put away their smiles, tried their best to show their sad expressions, and walked over to comfort Princess Ancheng who was holding the child.
Princess Ancheng, who happily put a firecracker in her heart: "..."
Shen Zhizhi felt her mother's smile trembling all over: "..."
