"What, Princess Qinghe invited you to stay at the Temple of the Reclining Buddha for a few days?" Shen Zhuo looked at Shen Yao in shock.
Shen Yao nodded, a little surprised that Shen Zhuo reacted so strongly.
Qinghe Princess Xiao Qingyun and she were classmates at Mingshan Academy. They had been in the same class for several years from Class D to Class A, and their relationship was pretty good.
Every year, the two often invite each other to parties or outings. What’s surprising about this visit to Wat Pho?
Shen Zhuo bit his lip and thought hard. After thinking about it for a long time, in the depths of my memory, I vaguely remembered that something like this happened.
Shen Zhuo was shocked.
In her previous life, she was always heartless, and all she saw was play. When she came back to her life again, she discovered that many things that happened in her previous life had already been foreshadowed.
Xiao Qingyun is Xiao Chengwei's biological sister. It is no coincidence that she asked Shen Yao to travel alone at this time.
"Sister, I'm going to Xishan too. Can you take me with you?"
Shen Zhuo pulled Shen Yao's sleeves coquettishly and looked at Shen Yao longingly.
"No." Shen Yao smiled and flicked Shen Zhuo's forehead, rejecting her request.
"Qingyun and I can go because Class A is on holiday for the Fire Festival. You, Class B, don't have a holiday, so how can we go?"
"If you skip class, Master will have to punish you again. If you really want to see the magnolia flowers, I will take you there after the academy is on holiday. The Temple of the Reclining Buddha is right there, and you won't run away."
June is the season when fruits and crops mature. During the Liuhuo Festival of the Tiansheng Dynasty, every household would offer sacrifices to the god of land and rice.
The housewife of each family will use new grains and seasonal fruits to make a sumptuous banquet to worship ancestors or the community, to thank the gods for their blessings and to pray for a bumper harvest of grain and wheat next year.
The Fire Festival is one of the busiest times of the year for housewives. The students in Class A of Mingshan Women's Academy are all about to become housewives, so every year during the Flowing Fire Festival, the academy will give the girls in Class A a few days off so that they can learn to take care of household affairs.
Although Shen Zhuo was refused by Shen Yao to go to Xishan, how could she give up so easily?
As soon as he arrived at the academy the next day, Shen Zhuo grabbed the bored Lu Waner and said, "Wan'er, I'll stay at your house for a few days."
When Lu Waner heard this, she immediately became excited: "Jiaojiao, where are you going to play again? I'll go with you."
Marquis Zhongyi was stationed in southern Xinjiang, and his wife and several aunts also settled in southern Xinjiang with the old marquis. Therefore, there are only a few people in the Zhongyi Hou Mansion in Kyoto. The only serious masters are the Crown Prince, Second Young Master Lu, and Lu Waner, as well as two aunts who cannot go out or step through the second door and are rarely seen. How could these few people control Lu Waner?
At home, Lu Wan'er has no tigers in the mountains and monkeys rule the roost. So every time Shen Zhuo wanted to sneak out for something, he would always use the Zhongyi Hou Mansion as a cover.
"Not this time. I have some personal matters to deal with. I will take you with me next time we go out to play."
Shen Zhuo rejected Lu Waner, his expression was rare and serious.
Shen Zhuo was not sure whether Xiao Qingyun's invitation to Shen Yao to go to the Temple of the Reclining Buddha had anything to do with Xiao Cheng, but what if? She didn't want there to be any possibility of Shen Yao and Xiao Cheng, even if it was only one in ten thousand, she had to put an end to it.
Xiao Cheng is a scheming person who is good at calculation and disguise. In his previous life, he deceived everyone with his illness and weakness. It was not until the crown prince was deposed and he became the new crown prince that his true colors were revealed.
Shen Yao's unexpected death in her previous life made Shen Zhuo not dare to take any risks on this matter.
Shen Zhuo's pretty face was tense. Seeing her like this, Lu Waner was a little worried and said, "Jiaojiao, what are you going to do? Do you want me to help you?"
"It would be a big help if you help me cover my whereabouts." Shen Zhuo said.
"Okay then." Lu Waner nodded.
"Are you going to stay at Zhongyi Hou's house?" Princess Pingyang half-lyed on the imperial concubine chair with squinted eyes, lazily enjoying the rare attentiveness of her little daughter.
While giving Princess Pingyang a shoulder and a pat on her back, Shen Zhuo said with a flattering smile: "Auntie, Wan'er read a strange novel a few days ago, and then she insisted that she heard that Yuxuan was haunted, and it scared her. She didn't dare to sleep a wink for two nights in a row. No, today she asked me to go over and stay with her for a few days."
Princess Pingyang snorted lazily: "Prince Zhongyi is a powerful general. The house is haunted. Lu Wan'er didn't look for her brother, but you instead?"
"Are you better at martial arts than her brother and have more evil aura, or are you too ugly to be able to control a house?"
“Aniang~~~~”
When Shen Zhuo saw that Princess Pingyang had exposed his excuse with just one word, he stopped pinching his shoulders and pounding his back. He lowered his head and rubbed against Princess Pingyang, making Princess Pingyang's hairpin dangle.
Princess Pingyang opened her eyes, hugged the coquettish Shen Zhuo, and said helplessly: "Tell me, what are you going to do again this time?"
"You won't cause trouble, I promise!" Shen Zhuo raised his eyes and looked at Princess Pingyang eagerly, "It's just a bit annoying to be stuck in the academy every day. Wan'er and I want to relax."
"If you don't want to go to the academy, then just rest at home for a few days. Why do you have to go to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion?"
"Auntie, Wan'er really wants me to come and stay with her for a few days."
Princess Pingyang knew about the situation in the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion. The Marquis and his wife had been in southern Xinjiang for a long time, and they only had a few children and two aunts who did nothing.
Lu Wan'er really wanted someone to keep her company. Thinking of this, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but feel weak. Forget it, who didn’t have a few close friends when they were young?
"You and Lu Waner have caused a lot of trouble together. If you cause trouble again this time, you will never want to go to Zhongyihou Mansion again."
"Thank you, Mom~~~"
Shen Zhuo hugged Princess Pingyang and gave her mother a firm kiss on the face.
Princess Pingyang pushed Shen Zhuo away in disgust, and said seemingly dissatisfied: "You kid, you have no rules for how old you are." But there was a smile in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
In the Zhongyihou Mansion, Shen Zhuo and Lu Waner were sleeping on the same bed.
"Jiaojiao, do you want me to let them make some ghosts out of Yuxuan?" Lu Waner stood up and stared at Shen Zhuo with bright eyes, ready to move.
Shen Zhuo waved his little hand and decisively rejected the proposal: "My mother-in-law knows that I am just making random nonsense, so there is no need to pretend to be a ghost and be careful to attract the prince."
Lu Waner curled her lips, lay back down, and said a little lonely: "I haven't seen my eldest brother for more than two months. If I can attract him by pretending to be a ghost, that would be a real ghost."
Lu Waner was married to an inhumane in her previous life. It was her eldest brother who stormed into her husband's house with a horse and a sword, snatched her out, and then escorted her husband's family to write a letter of divorce, and finally took Lu Waner to southern Xinjiang.
Later, Lu Waner wrote to her, saying that she had married again in southern Xinjiang. This time, the husband was handsome, with good martial arts skills and good character. He was good at everything. He also asked Shen Zhuo to go to southern Xinjiang to find her, saying that he had the ability to protect her.
Shen Zhuo stared at the exquisite embroidery on the bed tent and was lost in thought. After a long time, he said, "You are my only sister, how can I not protect you?"
"Don't call them fake ghosts, even if they are real ghosts, the prince can kill one by one, or a pair by a pair."
"Eh? You actually praise my eldest brother so much?" Lu Waner said excitedly, "Jiaojiao, don't you just have a crush on my eldest brother?"
"Actually, my eldest brother is really good. Although he has dark spots, he is tall and has good martial arts skills. He is not good at reading, but you don't like reading either..." Lu Waner became very interested again.
"Okay, okay, stop it! Did you forget that your brother is already engaged?" Shen Zhuo opened his eyes wide and looked at Lu Waner in disbelief.
"Oh, um, what if you really love my brother? That's not a prison that cannot be broken out of the marriage contract..." Lu Waner said, scratching the silk quilt with her fingers.
If Shen Zhuo remembered correctly, it was he who finally got the prince's engagement. How could a good marriage contract become a prison?
Shen Zhuo stroked his forehead and was speechless. It turns out that she is not the only one with a love brain. It seems that this statement should not be read too much, as it is very harmful to people.
"You are so good at editing, why don't you start telling stories?" Shen Zhuo clicked his tongue and turned over, leaving Lu Waner with a ruthless look on the back of her head.
