Shen Zhuo didn't see Xiao Qingyun. In the Zen courtyard, there were only Shen Yao and Xiao Cheng, not even the waiters and palace servants.
Shen Zhuo gritted his teeth.
Xiao Qingyun invited his sister to come and enjoy the flowers. Sure enough, it was to create an opportunity for Xiao Cheng to get close to her!
In the courtyard of the Zen Yuan, Shen Yao and Xiao Cheng sat opposite each other across the stone table. There was a chessboard placed on the stone table, and the two seemed to be playing chess.
Because they were too far away, Shen Zhuo couldn't see the chess game clearly, but she could see the chess pieces clearly. The moves on the chessboard are not the conventional black and white, but the rare green and white. The green one is jade and the white one is Hetian jade.
She had seen this chess set in Shen Yao's room in her previous life, and it was Shen Yao's favorite chess set.
It turned out that it was given by Xiao Cheng.
I didn't expect that this guy was so scheming and started creating opportunities so early to please my sister.
Shen Zhuo was so angry that he beat the branches angrily.
"Everyone come down!"
Shen Zhuo suddenly heard a soft drink in his ears, and then the sound of wind pierced the air.
Shen Zhuo was shocked when she saw something shiny hitting the door in front of her. She couldn't avoid it and couldn't hide. She couldn't help but feel panicked. As soon as she let go of her hand, her body fell straight to the tree.
"Bang!" With a sound, Shen Zhuo fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the ancient branches were lush and leafy, which prevented Shen Zhuo from falling directly. Instead, she was blocked several times. During the fall, she also climbed on several branches. Despite this, Shen Zhuo still grinned from the fall.
Before everyone outside the hospital could surround Shen Zhuo, he heard several more "bang", "bang" and "bang" sounds all around him, accompanied by constant screams of "ah~~~" and "ah~~~".
The sound sounded familiar to Shen Zhuo. She sat up with difficulty and turned around to look around. Five black-colored boys fell on the ground around them. Although their faces were covered with messy black ash, Shen Zhuo still recognized several of them at a glance. .
It was her group of witch besties, five of them, not a single one left behind.
"You...you..." Shen Zhuo raised his finger and pointed at a few people, opening his mouth wide in shock. Two eggs could fit in his mouth.
Before they could say anything, they were picked up by several servants and escorted into the Zen courtyard.
In the Zen courtyard, Xiao Cheng and Shen Yao had stopped playing chess. Seeing the eunuch escorting someone into the courtyard, Shen Yao was about to get up and go into the side room to escape. After all, it was Xiao Cheng who handled the internal affairs, and it was not convenient for her to be there.
But before she could leave, she heard an aggrieved cry.
"Sister, someone is bullying me~~~"
The slender figure paused, turned back in disbelief, stared at the row of people being escorted in, and then his hands were shaking with anger.
At this time, Xiao Cheng also looked at the group of people carefully, then he smiled, waved his hand to the chamberlain, and said, "Let them go."
The chamberlain heard the order and let everyone go, then retreated outside the courtyard.
As soon as Shen Zhuo got free, he ran to Shen Yao, hugged Shen Yao, and said, "Sister, it hurts so much when I fall~~~"
Shen Yao pinched Shen Zhuo's ears and said angrily: "You dare to climb such a tall tree! You are getting more and more courageous!"
"Oh, oh, oh, it hurts!! Sister~~it hurts!!" Shen Zhuo screamed like a ghost crying or a wolf howling.
The shout made Lu Waner and others take a few steps back.
Zhang Jingyi pulled Wen Mingyun's sleeve and whispered: "Miss Shen usually seems quite gentle, but I didn't expect it to be so scary when she gets angry."
Wen Mingyun curled her lips and whispered disgustedly: "How can Miss Shen be cruel? Jiaojiao will be miserable if she doesn't cry now, but it will be really miserable later."
"Oh, Jiaojiao is just acting." Lu Waner suddenly realized, but her voice was quite loud.
Then, Shen Zhuo's cry stopped, and the entire Zen courtyard fell silent.
Lu Wan'er belatedly covered her mouth, and then faced Shen Zhuo's "swishing" eye knife.
Shen Yao took two deep breaths to calm down, then walked up to Xiao Cheng, lowered her head and bowed respectfully, and said humbly:
"My little sister is naughty and breaks into the royal gardens without permission. She really deserves to be punished. However, I hope that His Highness will forgive her because she is young and it is her first offender. I will report this to my father who will definitely discipline her strictly and will not let her go." She does it again."
Xiao Cheng stood up and raised his hand to support Shen Yao. There was a slight smile in his narrow eyes. He was very satisfied with Shen Yao's respectful posture.
Shen Zhuo's unfounded intrusion into the magnolia forest is both a big deal and a small deal.
Speaking more broadly, this forest is known as a royal garden. According to law, trespassers will be punished with a cane. If serious consequences are caused, it is not impossible to be sentenced.
To put it bluntly, this forest is not a formal royal garden, and there is no serious royal villa in it. The guards are not very strict, so it doesn't matter whether there are intruders or not.
As the daughter of the chief minister of the dynasty, let alone an unimportant forest, even if she breaks into the palace, as long as it is not an assassination or treason, there will probably not be any investigation.
Xiao Cheng knew this, and Shen Yao also knew this.
The legitimate daughter of a powerful official in the dynasty faced a powerless and underappreciated prince, but she was still cautious and polite, with a humble and respectful attitude, not relying on her family background to be arrogant... Xiao Cheng felt a little warm in his heart. Shen Yao's eyes became more gentle.
"It's just a small matter, don't worry about it, Miss Shen." Xiao Cheng smiled, looking elegant and gentle.
"Aunt Luo Yun planted this forest because she loves magnolia. Only when people with similar interests come here because of the name do they live up to the scenery."
He looked at Shen Zhuo and the others again, and said warmly: "It's just a matter of climbing trees and flying eaves. It's better for the little girl not to do it. If it breaks, some people will be worried and worried."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, it won't be broken. Before climbing up the tree, we specially selected branches with many branches and leaves." Lu Waner raised her head, full of confidence.
Xiao Cheng smiled when he heard this: "Is this the young lady from the Zhongyi Hou family?"
"Your Highness, do you recognize me?" Lu Waner opened her eyes wide, a little surprised. She had never seen the fourth prince before.
Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "I have heard Prince Zhongyi mentioned his sister several times, saying that she has a straightforward temperament and values friendship, and that she has a good relationship with the fourth lady of the Shen family. I think you are the one to come."
"Your Highness, thank you." Lu Waner lowered her head shyly and scratched her head in embarrassment.
Shen Zhuo lowered his head and frowned fiercely.
Lu Waner was wearing the bright servant uniform of the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion. If she didn't know that Lu Waner was from the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, she would be blind.
He praised Lu Wan'er in various ways. He was really sweet and sweet, and he was indeed very scheming. But I can't let my sister be deceived by him.
Everyone saw that Xiao Cheng had no intention of pursuing the matter, so Shen Zhuo and others greeted Xiao Cheng one by one.
There was such a commotion in the small courtyard, and Xiao Qingyun walked out from the side room with his maid.
"I just squinted for a while because I was sleepy. Why are so many people suddenly there?"
"Hey, Yushu? When did you come?"
Xiao Qingyun looked at Xiao Yushu's clothes and asked in confusion: "What are you doing dressed like this?"
Xiao Yushu tugged on her clothes and said unnaturally: "Uh, we are joking."
