The guard kept his eyes straight and tried not to look at the beauty in front of him. His voice was cold: "No, please Shen Tongfang, please don't embarrass us."
In this way, Shen Dingzhu could only sigh heavily, turn around and leave.
When passing the corner, the hiding figure shrank back. Shen Dingzhu just pretended not to notice, sighed and muttered: "How should I please the prince?"
Her figure gradually faded away, and Zheng Erlan walked out quietly and sneered: "I'm still trying to play tricks."
However, Shen Dingzhu's idea reminded her that she was still waiting in the front yard and needed a chance to return to the inner yard.
Zheng Erlan walked outside the study, and the guard stopped her with a frown. Before she could speak, she said: "Just now, Grandma Zhang sent someone to send a message, saying that it has been raining heavily these days, and she was afraid that the books in the prince's study would be eaten by insects, so she specially asked me to take a look. look."
She is Grandma Zhang's daughter, and she has been waiting in Xiao Langyan's courtyard before.
Therefore, the guard hesitated for a moment, then turned sideways and let Zheng Erlan in.
So Zheng Erlan spread out a long table in the courtyard of the study room, took out all the books on the shelves, opened them to dry, and then stayed by it.
She paid attention to the sky to prevent the rain from getting her books wet, and did not dare to relax for a moment.
After noon, Shen Dingzhu had just woken up from his nap, and saw Shen Bi coming in with a happy face.
"Miss, that domineering Zheng Erlan was beaten by Eunuch Xu!"
Shen Dingzhu's fair face was glowing with sleep, and her watery black eyes were filled with sleepiness that was not yet fully awake. She was not surprised when she heard this, she just straightened her hair and stretched out her white and small feet to step on the shoes.
"What kind of beating did you get?"
"I don't know why Zheng Erlan was so crazy. She took advantage of the sunny weather today to dry up all the books in the prince's study. When Eunuch Xu went there, she wanted to claim credit, but she didn't expect that the handwriting on several books had faded. !”
While listening to Shen Bi's words, Shen Dingzhu walked to the table to see if the painting she had copied before going to bed was dry.
Shen Bi said directly, which was very satisfying: "Eunuch Xu's face was livid, and he immediately asked the guards to hold her down and give her a beating. I just heard that the prince came back and found out about this, so he asked Eunuch Xu to send Zheng Erlan back to Aunt Zhang, and take good care of him by the way. Let me ask you, when did Grandma Zhang come up with the idea of posting books?"
She said, patting her knees and laughing: "Miss, you haven't seen how miserable Zheng Erlan's face is, and she can't stop crying."
Shen Dingzhu smiled: "She asked for it."
As she said that, she rolled up the copied picture: "Shen Bi, the prince is back. Is he in the main courtyard?"
"Yes, Miss, are you going?"
"I'll give him the painting." Shen Dingzhu said, asked Shen Bi to wait on him, changed his clothes, and went out with the painting.
Before they reached the main courtyard, they saw Xu Shou walking towards him, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot. Behind him were two guards, escorting Zheng Erlan who kept crying.
Shen Dingzhu stepped aside, stopped, and looked at them leisurely.
When Zheng Erlan saw Shen Dingzhu, he roared ferociously, like a man-eating ghost.
"It was you who harmed me! Shen Dingzhu, this is all your trap. You tricked me into posting books...ah!" Before she could finish her words, Xu Shou slapped her back.
"Not honest yet." Xu Shou scolded angrily.
The prince just scolded him for his poor performance recently. This time when Zheng Erlan caused trouble, he immediately dealt with it seriously and showed no mercy to anyone.
Shen Dingzhu stepped forward, with confusion on her pretty face: "Eunuch Xu, what's wrong with her? She seems to have lost her mind and gone crazy."
Xu Shou cupped his hands and sighed: "I don't know where she got the idea to expose all the books in the prince's collection to the sun. The handwriting on the ancient books faded and were basically destroyed."
Shen Dingzhu covered her lips, her dark eyes were surprised, and her tone was soft and playful.
"Miss Zheng didn't know that some ancient books were made of fish ink and could not be exposed to sunlight, so they had to be stored in a cool place. Those were the treasures of antiques collected by the prince. You destroyed them like this. No wonder you were kicked out of the house, but I can't blame you either. Of course I don’t know who told you that you haven’t read any books.”
Shen Dingzhu returned all Zheng Erlan's taunts that day.
"You——!" Zheng Erlan's eyes were about to burst, and his neck was thick and red, as if he wanted to come up and rip off Shen Dingzhu.
Before she could curse, Xu Shou waved his hand: "Take him away."
Shen Dingzhu deeply understands Xiao Langyan's hobby of collecting antiques. He loves those ancient books, calligraphy and paintings the most. Otherwise, she would not have copied everyone and practiced calligraphy hard to please him in her previous life.
She went to the main courtyard with the scroll. The door was half open, and she vaguely saw Xiao Langyan sitting on the couch under the window, wiping his sword.
Hearing the footsteps, he did not turn around, but a cold voice came immediately: "You are happy with revenge, but you have destroyed so many ancient books by me."
As he said that, Xiao Langyan glanced sideways at Shen Dingzhu: "What crime should be committed?"
Under his seemingly calm face, there was already a burning wave of heart.
Under the bright autumn day, the beauty's creamy skin becomes even pinker, and her clothes are thin and not fitting enough. Her slender waist is tightly tied up. Just looking at her figure is enough to enchant people. Looking at her face, she has dark eyes, red lips and white teeth. , is a first-class beauty.
Xiao Langyan's throat rolled twice.
Shen Dingzhu's expression remained unchanged as she met his gaze: "I know that I can't hide anything from the prince, so I came here to apologize."
She stepped forward, held up the scroll with both hands through the open window.
"Open it and take a look." Xiao Langyan didn't answer, holding a long sword and sitting casually.
Shen Dingzhu slowly displayed the painting in front of him. Xiao Langyan's thin eyes were slightly startled. It was so similar to the painting given by Fu Yunqiu that it was difficult to tell whether it was true or false.
"I have only seen it twice, so I am copying from memory. It may be a little rough, and it will definitely not be as good as the one Miss Fu gave to the prince. But I fully admit my mistake. Your prince, why don't you blame me?"
After Shen Dingzhu finished speaking in a low voice, he placed the scroll in Xiao Langyan's palm, as if begging him to forgive him.
Because there was a window between them, Xiao Langyan never allowed her to enter the house, so she could only put her body in his hands and put her feet outside the window.
As a result, the clothes on the chest became even tighter, and the soft white tofu swayed.
Xiao Langyan's thin eyes looked up at her delicate face: "What deal do you want to negotiate with me?"
Shen Dingzhu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyebrows were dark, with a hint of girlish agility: "There is no deal... It's just that I saw people in the stable washing horses earlier, and I guessed that the prince is going to go hunting in the autumn, can you take me with you?"
Xiao Langyan snorted, lowered his head and wiped the sword: "No."
He refused simply, and Shen Dingzhu's pink fingertips hooked his sleeve: "Your Majesty, I will never cause you trouble. With me here, it will be easier for you and Miss Fu to get along and chat."
Xiao Langyan frowned slightly, then saw Shen Dingzhu pressing almost half of his body into the window.
Outside the window, her little feet were already in the air and were shaking uneasily, but the more she moved, the further her body slid into the house.
She was in a dilemma, and her cheeks turned bright red due to anxiety.
Xiao Langyan was leisurely watching her embarrassment, neither reaching out to help nor responding.
However, he caught a glimpse of Xu Shou entering the hospital from the corner of his eye, and thought of Shen Dingzhu's half-pouting body and the hem of her skirt slightly raised. His face darkened, and he grabbed her collar and pulled her down.
Shen Dingzhu landed on the couch under the window and let out a low cry.
Before he could react, he heard a "bang" sound and Xiao Langyan had already closed the window.
He put half of his arm on her body, lowered his eyes, and said in a frivolous tone: "You can go if you want to, please me, you know how to do it."
