Shen Dingzhu still didn't speak, just shook his head slightly.
He was the one who drove her out in the first place, and now it's him who wants her to go back.
But she was too lazy to move. The small house she lived in now was really comfortable.
Xiao Langyan's eyes suddenly dropped to freezing point.
When the atmosphere between the two was at a stalemate, Shen Bi came in with a plate of hot white porridge.
After saying goodbye, she asked awkwardly: "Shen Tongfang, this porridge..."
Shen Bi was afraid that Xiao Langyan would be there, but Shen Dingzhu would have no appetite.
But Shen Dingzhu raised his eyes: "Bring it over."
The steaming white porridge was placed in front of me, and a plate of shredded pork with lantern sauce shone beautifully under the candlelight. The meat must be fresh and tender.
The water greens are also shiny green, crisp and delicious.
Shen Dingzhu took the initiative to ask Xiao Langyan: "Has the prince eaten at night? Do you want to try some?"
Xiao Langyan looked calm for a long time before he was willing to speak: "No."
He did not refuse Shen Dingzhu's invitation.
So, she asked Shen Biduo to bring an empty bowl and gave Xiao Langyan some hot porridge.
The two held the bowls and tasted them silently.
Shen Bi put away the plate and left. Xu Shou was still waiting outside. When he saw her coming out, he asked in a low voice: "Is the prince busy?"
Shen Bi nodded: "I'm having dinner with Tongfang."
Xu Shou understood clearly, and immediately held an umbrella and went back, asking the eunuch who was running errands to tell Aunt Zhang: "The prince has not seen her."
When the news reached outside the house, the old figure lying in the rain suddenly opened his eyes and cried hysterically.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me, please..." The sound of her kowtow echoed in the fierce autumn night, and was instantly covered up by the sound of rain.
After half a bowl of hot porridge, Shen Dingzhu's forehead was dripping with glistening sweat, and his bright, palm-sized face also had some good color on his pink cheeks.
Xiao Langyan stood up after eating and pulled on his cloak to leave.
Shen Dingzhu blessed his body: "Farewell to the prince."
He paused when he walked to the door, turned his head and looked at Shen Dingzhu, his thin eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a dangerous look.
Shen Dingzhu pretended not to notice, stretched out his hand and pressed his eyebrows: "I have a headache, Shen Bi, help me lie down for a while."
After a moment, the curtains shuddered. Shen Dingzhu opened his eyes again, and Xiao Langyan had already left.
Shen Bi leaned against the window and looked out for a moment, then came back and said, "Miss, I thought that the prince did not care about your health and wanted to invite you to sleep with you. Fortunately, the prince still knows how to care for you."
Shen Dingzhu really had a headache now. Shen Bi, this girl, wanted her to compete for favor with her beauty and tie up Xiao Langyan.
Today, it was not Xiao Langyan who loved her, but Nanny Zhang, who was kneeling outside the house. She had to die, and no matter how much she begged for mercy, it was useless.
Therefore, he ate with her, stayed in her house, and ignored Nanny Zhang's pleas, all just to let outsiders know that Prince Ning loved Shen Tongfang.
In just two days, Shen Dingzhu heard the news that Grandma Zhang had died of illness.
Shortly after her death, Xu Shou brought the news to Zheng Erlan, who was dying in prison. That night, Zheng Erlan also died.
The death of the mother and daughter does not mean anything. It is like a broken leaf that is supposed to wither in autumn and falls into the pile of thousands of dead leaves, and there is no difference.
Shen Dingzhu couldn't make any waves in her heart. Her body was almost intact, and the weather was getting colder. She missed her family in Mobei every day.
On the day of King Xuan's birthday banquet, Shen Dingzhu accompanied Xiao Langyan to attend.
King Xuan was born to the Queen, but not long ago in the palace, Concubine Xian secretly reported to the Queen because of the straw man.
Although the emperor suppressed the matter and solved it secretly, it must have some impact.
Probably for this reason, King Xuan's birthday banquet was not organized in a big way. He only chose a garden with a beautiful scenery and invited the nobles from the capital to attend.
The men's and women's seats were separated, so this time, Xiao Langyan asked Shen Dingzhu to take Shen Bi with him.
As soon as she appeared in the garden where the female guests were playing, the ladies who were still laughing and chatting suddenly fell silent and all looked at her appraisingly.
Shen Dingzhu, who has been a beauty since childhood, has long been accustomed to all kinds of friendly or unfriendly looks.
Her dress was brightly colored, and she wore a white fox scarf around her neck. Her figure was as plump as a ripe peach, and her strikingly beautiful face was the focus of everyone's attention.
Shen Dingzhu walked to the deserted pavilion by the lake with a calm expression, and looked over the railing until those people looked away.
Shen Bi reminded in a low voice: "Miss, Miss Fu is coming over."
Shen Dingzhu remembered that Fu Yunqiu wanted her to deliver something to Xiao Langyan on his behalf.
Looking back, he saw Fu Yunqiu leading Fu Yunzhi and Zhao Yuyuan into the pavilion.
"Miss Shen," Fu Yunqiu smiled gently and dignifiedly, took the lead to sit down, and then said, "I heard that you were sick not long ago. Are you feeling better now?"
Before Shen Dingzhu could answer, Fu Yunzhi had already covered his nose, showing a very disgusted look.
"I don't know what the illness is yet, why don't you stay in the house? If you are not cured, what if you injure others?"
Shen Dingzhu's eyebrows were shy and he whispered: "You're not afraid even after the prince hugged you, so you're fine. What are you afraid of?"
As soon as these words came out, Fu Yunqiu's face froze first. Fu Yunqiu came to his senses after being stunned, and cursed in a loud voice: "You are such an unruly thing. How dare you say such unworthy words? Hu Meizi is Hu Meizi." !”
Shen Dingzhu had an innocent look on his face, but he was sneering in his heart.
At this time, a voice came: "What Hu Meizi? It's my second brother's birthday today, why are there people so disappointed?"
Everyone turned to look and saw the prince coming with a group of noble princes and grandsons.
Fu Yunzhi suddenly turned pale with fright, but Fu Yunqiu was calm. After standing up with everyone to say hello, he smiled and said: "The sisters were playing around and broke the rules. Your Highness, please forgive me."
Her body was soft and graceful, her eyes seemed to be raised but not raised, showing a dignified and gentle look.
The prince immediately chuckled: "It doesn't matter, it's a happy day, so don't be restrained, but it will lose your good intentions."
Prince Xuan glanced at Xiao Langyan and said from the side: "Miss Fu, do you know what kind of gift His Highness the Crown Prince has found for you?"
The prince smiled faintly and glanced at Shen Dingzhu who was standing at the edge of the crowd.
He said with a smile: "Last time you said you liked the scenery of the hot spring villa, so you sent someone to buy it."
King Xuan sighed with emotion: "The villa is surrounded by hot springs all year round, which can make the flower gardens bloom like spring all year round. Many people have offered high prices before, but the owner of the villa refused to sell it. The prince had to step in and buy it at a high price of ten thousand taels. Just to please the beauty."
The crowd suddenly became noisy, and Fu Yunqiu's beautiful face was filled with shame amidst their cheers.
Xiao Langyan stood among the nobles, with no unnecessary expression on his face. He only glanced at Shen Dingzhu deliberately.
I found her eyes resting leisurely on the lake in the distance, watching a pair of egrets splashing into the water.
Everyone gradually dispersed in groups. Shen Dingzhu took Shen Bi and did not return to the pavilion. Instead, they strolled by the lake.
As soon as I walked into the stone forest where there were few people, I saw a figure turning out.
Shen Dingzhu's expression changed, he lowered his head secretly, turned around and left.
"Stop." The man called her coldly.
