Shen Dingzhu walked into the courtyard and saw three or four ladies standing inside the door, including her cousin Zhao Yuyuan, all surrounding the Fu sisters.
She closed her beautiful eyes helplessly, thinking that the road between enemies was narrow.
The palace maid led Shen Dingzhu inside, and Fu Yunzhi's sharp eyes saw her immediately.
"Ah, Miss Shen," Fu Yunzhi came up to her, "Did you go to the wrong place? This is the place where the prey from this trip is made into clothes. What did you get that you want to come over?"
Shen Dingzhu didn't say anything. Fu Shen, the palace maid who brought her here, said, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning ordered your servant to bring Miss Shen to measure her neck circumference."
Several ladies showed suspicious expressions, and they saw the eldest aunt walking out, holding a ruler in her left hand, and holding the processed fox skin in her right hand.
Fu Yunzhi was surprised: "The white fox that King Ning hunted was actually given to you. I didn't give it to you..."
She subconsciously looked at Fu Yunqiu beside her, but saw that the latter's face was pale, showing no emotion or anger, only a generous smile.
"It's right to give it to Miss Shen," Fu Yunqiu said. "The situation was critical at that time. Fortunately, Miss Shen understood the righteousness and gave me the chance to escape. His Royal Highness Prince Ning, the polite and virtuous Corporal, will not be stingy to her. She deserves this." of."
The implication is that it was for Fu Yunqiu that he gave up the white fox to Shen Dingzhu.
Shen Dingzhu smiled slowly: "If Miss Fu really thinks so, I have no objection."
As she spoke, she raised her neck, and her eldest aunt stepped forward to measure her size.
Fu Yunzhi rolled his eyes and muttered: "You let my sister go first, that's what you should do. Her life is precious, and it's a blessing for you to let me go first."
The smile on Shen Dingzhu's face did not change, and he looked out the window, pretending not to hear what Fu Yunzhi said.
Seeing that Shen Dingzhu ignored it, Fu Yunqiu gently scratched the tip of Fu Yunzhi's nose.
"Okay, don't say that. Whether gold is valuable or not, everyone is the same."
Fu Yunzhi stuck out his tongue and hugged Fu Yunqiu's sleeves coquettishly: "Sister, the white fox scarf doesn't look good, it's pale. The fire fox will be delivered later, so it's beautiful!"
She glanced sideways at Zhao Yuyuan and saw that Zhao Yuyuan only dared to shrink his neck, as if he was afraid that Shen Dingzhu would see her.
Fu Yunzhi laughed, with a playful tease in his eyes: "Miss Zhao Er, why don't you say anything? Didn't you praise my sister just now?"
"Tell me, which one looks better, your cousin Miss Shen's white fox fur, or the fire fox fur that my sister is going to wear soon?"
Zhao Yuyuan suddenly felt that a disaster was approaching. She raised her eyes and looked at Shen Dingzhu for help, hoping that she would be more understanding and speak out to save herself.
Unexpectedly, Shen Dingzhu looked at her with those beautiful black eyes, as if he was also expecting an answer.
What a Shen Dingzhu! Actually watching outsiders making fun of her.
Zhao Yuyuan suppressed the anger in her heart and showed a somewhat flattering smile to Fu Yunqiu: "Of course the fire fox is good-looking, red and noble. Some people may not get it if they want it. They are just vulgar and pink. They are not as blessed as Miss Fu." .”
Fu Yunzhi covered her lips and laughed, and kept looking at Shen Dingzhu's face: "Even you said that, I guess it's not wrong."
Only then did Fu Yunqiu speak gently: "Okay, Third Sister, don't be so naughty. What if others don't understand your character and don't know you are joking?"
Zhao Yuyuan laughed repeatedly: "Miss Fu San thinks highly of me, so she is joking with me."
Shen Dingzhu looked at Zhao Yuyuan and felt that she was pathetic.
Those ladies came from well-known families and claimed to be three generations of nobles. How could they think of her background?
The eldest aunt had been silent until now and finally spoke: "Miss Shen, the measurement has been completed and will be sent to Prince Ning's Mansion in five days."
Shen Dingzhu blessed his body: "Thank you, aunt."
She was about to leave when she saw the prince's people coming with the prepared fire fox skin.
Fu Yunzhi became excited: "The fire fox skin has indeed been delivered. It's worthwhile for us to come here and wait in advance."
Shen Dingzhu walked in a hurry and was too lazy to stay and listen to them continue to praise Fu Yunqiu.
However, the leading eunuch, Xiao Xuanke's confidant, stopped in front of her and said with a smile: "Miss Shen, please stay. Have you already measured your neck circumference?"
Shen Dingzhu nodded in confusion: "Yes, father-in-law, do you have any advice?"
The eunuch waved his hand quickly: "Don't dare, don't dare, His Royal Highness gave you the fire fox skin, and I thought that if you have already measured your neck circumference, you don't need to trouble my aunt again."
After he finished speaking, not only Shen Dingzhu, but also Fu Yunqiu and others in the room were stunned.
Fu Yunzhi was the first to come out and confirm: "What did you say? Your Highness, gave the fire fox skin to Shen Dingzhu? Are you sure you heard it right!"
The eunuch was a little dissatisfied and said in a tough tone: "His Highness's golden words, if this servant spreads the wrong words again, wouldn't he be asking for his own death?"
"His Royal Highness personally confessed that he would give the fire fox skin to Miss Shen. Does Miss Fu San have any objections?"
Fu Yunqiu had come to his senses and stepped forward to pull Fu Yunzhi away.
"Sister!" Fu Yunzhi stamped his feet anxiously.
Where did Shen Dingzhu come from and how did he win the favor of the prince?
Fu Yunqiu smiled faintly: "Okay, His Highness has his own arrangements. We are not here just for the fox skins. You forgot, my second brother also hunted a few gray rabbits. Can I make them into hand guards for you?"
There was no trace of hatred on her face, but in her heart she had already scolded Fu Yunzhi and others.
If they hadn't heard that the prince got a fire fox in the morning and insisted on dragging her here to take measurements, Fu Yunqiu wouldn't have followed!
However, she also subconsciously believed that the prince would definitely give her the fox skin.
As a result, she now had to find excuses to save face. She didn't have fox fur, so she had to make do with some rabbit fur.
In a few moments, Shen Dingzhu could already see the change in the expression in Fu Yunqiu's eyes.
She pursed her lips and smiled: "Then thank you, Your Highness. Just use the size I measured just now."
After that, she nodded to the eunuch and left gracefully.
Fu Yunzhi gritted his teeth and cursed: "I knew this little bitch was restless. He must have seduced His Highness the Crown Prince while my sister was away."
A look of disgust flashed in the eyes of Xiao Xuanke's confidant eunuch.
Fu Yunqiu immediately held Fu Yunzhi's hand and scolded him softly: "Don't talk nonsense. It's just a fox skin. How much does the family want?"
In fact, she felt a little uneasy. When she saw the torrent yesterday, she had lost her mind and relied on Xiao Langyan regardless of the presence of others.
Could it be that the prince minded if she followed Xiao Langyan and left first?
Fu Yunqiu had no intention of staying any longer, so he made an excuse and left in a hurry with Fu Yunzhi.
Zhao Yuyuan, on the other hand, stared at Shen Dingzhu's retreating figure with incredulous eyes, very surprised.
Why is she becoming more capable?
Xiao Langyan had been dealing with the assassins at the emperor's side and did not return to the courtyard at noon.
Shen Dingzhu finished lunch alone and was about to take a rest when he saw a well-dressed aunt at the door leading four maids in.
"Shen Dingzhu, is Miss Shen here? I am here to deliver the reward on the Queen's orders."
