After moving back to the main courtyard, Shen Dingzhu deliberately followed Shen Bi to decorate the inside and outside of his side room.
The previous window panes were thin and could not withstand the cold winter, so she asked Xu Shou to lead people to repair them again.
Shen Bi was diligent and kept every corner of the house spotless, even the bottom of the bed, the seams of the bed and the top of the cabinet.
When Xiao Langyan came back, Shen Dingzhu personally climbed the ladder and hung the four-cornered flower lanterns.
The sky fades brightly and brightly, just as the evening sets and the night begins to set.
During the day, the remaining light of the sun receded, burning the sky into a black and blue glaze. Under the stars, Shen Dingzhu's graceful and exquisite figure faced the light.
Shen Bi raised her head and said, "Master, you have to go a little to the right."
Shen Dingzhu stepped lightly, his waistline almost exposed: "Is this so?"
Shen Bi shook her head: "No, you have to go further to the right. Otherwise, master, please come down and let the slave come."
Shen Dingzhu refused and insisted on arranging the arrangements herself. She tried her best to lean to the right. Fortunately, she had a delicate figure and her whole body was already halfway in the air.
Shen Bi held onto the ladder and turned pale with worry.
Just when the lanterns at the four corners were hung up, Xu Shou came with his people and greeted Xiao Langyan who was standing at the door: "The prince is back!"
He shouted suddenly, causing Shen Dingzhu to yelp and fall from the ladder.
Before he fell to the ground, he had already fallen into Xiao Langyan's arms.
Shen Dingzhu came back to her senses, blinked her slender eyelashes, her face was as pink and delicate as a hibiscus, her beautiful eyes curved, and a smile appeared.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, you are back," she obediently got down from his arms, and after standing firm, she told Shen Bi, "Go and bring the warm cup of lily duck soup."
Xiao Langyan's handsome face had a calm expression, and his thin eyes gleamed with a sneer: "It's a coincidence that I am back. Otherwise, I would have to hear you cry out in pain again."
Shen Dingzhu's cheeks were surrounded by two red clouds, making his eyes dark and bright.
She followed Xiao Langyan into the house, and her slender jade fingers thoughtfully untied his cloak.
She said softly and flatteringly: "So the prince is my life-saving straw, all the time."
Xiao Langyan's eyes were deep as he watched her go to hang the cloak on the screen. Shen Dingzhu sniffed the down collar subconsciously.
The smell of dried saponins.
Did Xiao Langyan take a bath outside?
As soon as this idea came into Shen Dingzhu's head, he hung his cloak on the screen and lit bamboo silk incense.
She looked back and saw Xiao Langyan already sitting at the table drinking tea.
"Ling Feng has returned from delivering a message to Mobei." He pushed a letter over the table.
There was undisguised joy on Shen Dingzhu's face, and he quickly took it apart to take a look.
While watching, she happily shared with Xiao Langyan: "Your Majesty, Ling Feng said that after the doctor's treatment and care, my eldest brother's leg has improved a lot, and my sister-in-law is about to give birth!"
The letter also said that there had been two heavy snowfalls in Mobei, and Shen's mother had also become seriously ill.
However, because the money was delivered in time, and because the local governor looked at Xiao Langyan's face, he didn't make it more difficult.
Therefore, when the letter was sent back, Shen's mother's illness was almost healed.
Shen Dingzhu's eyes turned red as he watched, with a thankful smile on his face.
Saving the lives of father and mother is more important than anything else.
Xiao Langyan blew the tea, and said calmly with a jade-colored face: "I have sent someone to reply to Ling Feng, asking him to stay in Mobei during the Chinese New Year, and there is no need to rush back."
"Firstly, it's easy to take care of her, and secondly, with him here, everything will be convenient. When he comes back after the new year, your sister-in-law will probably have given birth to an heir safely, so you can rest assured."
Shen Dingzhu couldn't believe what he heard.
She raised her bright eyes and looked closely at Xiao Langyan. With such an expression, Xiao Langyan felt that it was the first time that she looked so attached and grateful.
"Your Majesty... thank you." She said, almost choking.
Xiao Langyan patted his knees with his slender palms. Shen Dingzhu understood immediately and took the initiative to walk over and sit on his lap. A pair of soft lotus-rooted arms gently hooked his neck.
The two of them breathed close to each other. Xiao Langyan held her slender waist and smelled the unique fragrance of Shen Dingzhu.
"Last time you said that my father would get poisoned on New Year's Eve because of taking banned drugs?"
Shen Dingzhu nodded slightly, his red lips slightly parted: "Is there anything else you don't understand, Your Majesty?"
The color in Xiao Langyan's thin eyes was deep, cold and opaque.
Afraid that there might be ears on the wall, he tilted his head slightly and pressed his thin lips against Shen Dingzhu's plump earlobe.
"If it is just to test the medicine, with my father's suspicious personality, even if he is given the power in the future, he may not completely trust me. The easiest way is to hold his life in my hands."
Shen Dingzhu's earlobes were itchy and hot due to the thin breath that flowed from time to time while he was talking.
She raised her long eyelashes and said, "What does the prince mean...?"
Xiao Langyan pondered: "Did you know that the late emperor had a secret army of dead soldiers called the Xuanjia Army?"
"They are the most brave and powerful soldiers in this dynasty. They only obey the orders of the late emperor. No one has seen their appearance. They are very secretive. Rumor has it that if you win the Xuanjia Army, you will win the world of Jin."
"I have been investigating recently where the late Emperor's Black Armor Army is hidden. I remember that before the late Emperor died, he specially invited your father into the palace."
"Although it was said to the outside world that Prime Minister Shen was asked to use personal connections to invite the ghost doctor Jiang Manzi to treat the late emperor, the palace servants who served him said that the late emperor gave Prime Minister Shen something."
He suddenly held Shen Dingzhu's stiff fingertips: "Do you know what you gave me?"
Xiao Langyan slowly left the area near her ear, straightened his body and looked at Shen Dingzhu.
The beauty's eyes only have the moist black and the look of careful reflection, and there are no other flaws.
Shen Dingzhu thought for a long time and could only shake his head: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you said. Even what the late emperor said to my father, I may not know as much as you do."
"If you want to know, when the prince takes over the power and manages to bring my father back from Mobei to the capital, you will know as soon as you ask. What do you think?" She tilted her head.
Xiao Langyan stared at her beautiful eyes for a moment and suddenly chuckled.
"They are plotting against me again."
"How can I not." Shen Dingzhu's voice was soft and soft, like a coquettish one.
Xiao Langyan looked serious and said in a low voice: "However, if my father is really ill, we cannot let him get better. Then you will have to borrow the help of my ghost doctor."
Shen Dingzhu nodded lightly, but before he could speak, Shen Bi's voice came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, aunt, the soup is here."
Shen Dingzhu waited on Xiao Langyan to finish his meal, and then saw him go to the study.
She returned to the side room and sat by the window in a daze, looking a little solemn.
Thinking of Xiao Langyan's words just now, combined with the thing her father gave her before, her father's nervous whispers filled her ears——
"Good girl, no matter who asks, you must protect this thing. No one can say anything until the world is settled."
She still doesn't understand what it means, and what's the connection between her father's words and the things he gave her.
Shen Bi came in: "Master, the water is ready, you can take a bath."
Shen Dingzhu came back to her senses, walked behind the screen, took off her robe, revealing her smooth and white shoulders.
Her charming cheeks were turned red by the hot water.
"Put more soap locust on your hair and apply floral water on the ends of your hair." Shen Dingzhu said.
Xiao Langyan helped her family a lot in Mobei, so she should take the initiative.
Having deeper communication with him makes their relationship stronger.
