Chapter Fifteen Eavesdropping
Seeing that Huo Weilou kept staring at her without giving her a reply, Shen Xinyue got angry for no reason, "It's a man's family, whether you want to keep it or not, please tell me something nice. Such ink marks really make people speechless." "
After that, he turned around and wanted to leave here.
Huo Weilou grabbed her sleeve, lightly opened his thin lips, "Stay."
"My lord, don't force yourself." Seeing Huo Weilou's appearance, Shen Xinyue mocked.
Huo Weilou: "No."
"Okay. Then you can help me find a yard. I will move there with Siqi at dawn tomorrow."
Although she received Huo Weilou's reply, Shen Xinyue felt that he was not sincere and was a bit forced, so she felt very uncomfortable and her voice was obviously quite different.
"It's not in my yard, where do you want to go?" Huo Weilou didn't expect that Shen Xinyue would stay in the house, but would move to another yard. The joyful mood just now disappeared.
"As long as it's not in your yard, any vacant yard will do?"
Shen Xinyue said angrily: "The one you wanted to marry was Lan Qingruo. I was tampered with and ended up in the wrong bed with you. The two of us should have returned home long ago, not as before. Are you always delayed by things in your palace? Now is the time to make things right."
Humph, who almost killed her when she saw that the bride she married was not Lan Qingruo, but now she is still thinking about detoxifying this person. I really don’t know if she hit her head on some stone when she traveled through time. Bad brain.
Shen Xinyue suddenly regretted the decision she had just made. Wouldn't it be nice to take the generous dowry from the Shen family in Jiangnan and go to the house under her own name to live freely?
"You're not allowed to go anywhere, just in my yard."
Huo Weilou didn't give Shen Xinyue a chance to regret it. He said a few words and strode out of the bedroom with a cold face without looking back.
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Xinyue was awakened by Si Qi's knock on the door.
The whole night last night, Shen Xinyue didn't sleep well and had many, many dreams.
I dreamed about some of the unpleasant things that happened before I crossed over, and also dreamed about the miserable situation after crossing over. I was bitten by wild beasts, and had my bones and skin ripped out. I was frightened and woke up several times.
So after being woken up by Si Qi, it was inevitable that he would be a little angry, "Come in, come in. Hey, this early in the morning is not letting anyone rest. Is it possible that someone living under someone else's roof can't even sleep?"
Si Qi opened the door and just stepped up with one foot. When he heard Shen Xinyue's words, he was either in or out. He timidly stood at the threshold with his legs crossed, holding a food box and looking at Shen Xinyue. , "Shen, Miss Shen, the prince asked his servant to bring you some breakfast. He said that you were overworked yesterday and needed to make up for it.
I just asked the kitchen to prepare this. This kind of food cannot be eaten cold. I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable after eating it, so I dared to knock on the door."
Si Qi's look made Shen Xinyue feel bad, and her tone immediately softened, "Si Qi is serious."
As soon as Si Qi heard that his master no longer blamed him, he immediately came in and put the food box on the table, turned back and closed the door, and then came to Shen Xinyue's bedside to help her dress and wash.
"I've said it before, I'm not that rich young lady, I have my own hands and feet, it'll be fine." Shen Xinyue declined Si Qi.
Si Qi remained silent and stood aside respectfully, but he was thinking in his heart, you are indeed not a rich lady now, but you are a princess! The princess of the Regent's Palace! How can a rich lady compare with this? What does it matter? But after all, I just thought about it in my mind.
After Shen Xinyue got dressed and washed, she sat at the table and prepared to have breakfast.
At this time, Si Qi had already laid out the items in the food box one by one and placed them in front of her.
Shen Xinyue asked while eating: "What time is it now?"
"It's time." Si Qi replied respectfully.
Shen Xinyue calculated the time in her mind and almost spit out the food in her mouth. Just now she complained that people said it was early in the morning, but it turned out that it was already three o'clock in the morning.
She slept until midnight, and when she woke up, there were still people to help her dress and wash herself, and someone brought the delicious food in front of her. Shen Xinyue kept complaining about herself, so why should she complain to others?
"I wasn't blaming you just now, Si Qi. The main reason is that I didn't sleep well last night and had nightmares. Don't take it personally." Shen Xinyue was full of rice and said to Si Qi with a smile.
Si Qi has never met such a master. Is this what a master should say to his slave? He looked at Shen Xinyue with a pair of sincere eyes and said, "Miss Shen, although you don't let me call you master, I won't Let me call you Princess, but you are Si Qi's master. Si Qi didn't think carefully, and the master said what he should say, and what he said is what should be said. Miss Shen, if you speak like this, you are simply breaking my slave."
Shen Xinyue was a little big-headed, so she took Si Qi's hands and said to her with the same sincerity: "In my place, there is no such thing as slave and master. We are all equal. You are a member of the prince's palace. Your Majesty, please I am very grateful that you came to take care of me. I am grateful to the prince as well as to you. I sincerely welcome you when you come, because I came here for the first time and I have no friends and no one to talk to, so I treat you as your own. My sisters treat each other. From now on, if you don’t leave, I will never abandon you.”
How could any slave at that time have heard such words?
In that society, life was inherently unequal.
Everyone who was a slave was sent or sold to serve others because of a poor family background.
Those who are lucky enough to meet a good master will only be beaten and scolded less often; those who are unlucky will be beaten and scolded easily and may even lose their lives.
So Shen Xinyue's words made Si Qi burst into tears, and he even choked up and said: "Miss Shen, Si Qi can't speak. As long as you don't dislike Si Qi, Si Qi will be willing to work hard for Miss Shen." , I will serve you with all my heart and soul."
"I think it's me who can't speak, and I made you cry."
Shen Xinyue didn't like to be pretentious. When Si Qi cried, she felt embarrassed. She wiped Si Qi's tears and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where is the prince? Didn't you go to the palace today?"
Normally, someone who usually has many things to do would leave the palace early and go to the palace.
Si Qidao: "The prince has not gone to the palace today. He is still in the mansion. He just invited Huo Xing and others to go to the study to discuss matters."
Shen Xinyue nodded thoughtfully, then asked Si Qi to pack the food box and go out.
She herself pondered over and over again and went to the study room in Huo Wei Building.
Shen Xinyue originally ran all the way, but when she was approaching the study room in Huo Wei Building, she suddenly slowed down, crept close to the study window, and carefully put her ear to it.
First, I heard the people inside chatting about the court's disaster relief and the people's relief. It was probably the people below who were reporting some situations to Huo Weilou, and there were also some official titles of the court mixed in.
Shen Xinyue had never understood the official positions in ancient times. She felt a little dizzy from what she heard. Moreover, she kept bending over and bending her legs, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. When she was about to leave, she heard someone resigning inside, so she had to quickly move to the corridor. He held his breath and did not dare to move.
After those people walked away, Shen Xinyue thought that there were no valuable clues today. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Huo Xing's voice inside saying: "Your Majesty, the people sent to Lanyuan Restaurant just came back and have pressed your button." He ordered the post to be sent over. The owner of Lanyuan Restaurant took the post over and respectfully replied that the wine and food would be ready at any time to welcome the prince."
Lanyuan Restaurant?
Shen Xinyue tried hard to search in the memory of the original owner and confirmed that this should be the property of Lan Qingruo's grandfather's family that Huo Weilou talked about last night. She couldn't help but covered her mouth with excitement, and quietly tiptoed quickly. Left here.
In the study room.
"Your Majesty, it seems that the princess was eavesdropping outside just now?" Huo Xing looked at Huo Weilou with an amused expression and asked.
I have been with the prince for too long, and I know a little bit about my regent, who has a stern appearance.
If it had been anyone else, as soon as the other person stepped into the courtyard, his own regent would have given him an unceremonious look and told him to go out and deal with it.
When the princess came, Huo Xing seemed to catch a strange look on the regent's handsome and serious face? Why did that look make Huo Xing feel so weird?
"Yes." Huo Weilou looked obviously uncomfortable and pinched his eyebrows with his slender fingers, looking helpless.
"Don't you, the prince, always hate having outsiders set foot in the study without permission? Why is this rule broken by the princess today?" Huo Xing continued.
"Let her be. What can I do after hearing this? I really think that I am a chivalrous woman who can go to heaven and earth." What can he do to her? At present, Huo Weilou only feels a little headache for this Shen Xinyue. It was ridiculous. After saying that, he suddenly gave Huo Xing a cold look and added: "Besides, is the princess an outsider?"
"I know my mistake. Of course the princess is not an outsider." Huo Xing immediately corrected him with a knowing look.
Then he continued teasing without giving up, "My lord, are you too indulgent towards the princess?" Even if she is not an outsider, the female concubine cannot eavesdrop on the prince's official business.
"I don't know whether I indulge her or not, but I know that I indulge you too much. When did I allow you to talk too much in my palace?! I think you're going to eat it if you don't fight for three days." Do you want to go to the house and unveil the tiles?"
This Huo Xing was Huo Weilou's personal bodyguard who had been with him since he was a child, and he had trained him himself. He treated him like a family member and never saw him outside, so he dared to have the courage to tease him here.
Huo Xing smiled like a coward, "I know my mistake, but I don't dare. I will go down and take the blame myself. Your Majesty, please calm down."
After saying that, he rushed out of Huo Weilou's study at lightning speed.
Zhangfu.
Lan Qingruo's maternal grandfather's name was Zhang Zhizhou. He was a wealthy family in Zhangjia Town on the outskirts of Beijing. He had many properties under his name, and "Lanyuan Restaurant" was the most famous of all his properties.
Because his daughter was married to Lan Shiqing, the current Tai Fu, he directly gave the restaurant the surname "Lan", so he had to take advantage of his uncle's name.
Today, Mr. Zhang was sitting idle in the courtyard of Zhang Mansion when he saw shopkeeper Wang from "Lanyuan Restaurant" rushing over and asked, "Why are you so panicked?"
"Back to the old man, there is a distinguished guest at Lanyuan Restaurant today."
Shopkeeper Wang looked around mysteriously, and after confirming that no one was there, he came close to Mrs. Zhang and spoke in his ear.
"Who is your distinguished guest?" Mrs. Zhang asked.
"It's the Regent Huo Weilou. He sent a person to leave a message, saying that he would have a banquet with friends at our Lanyuan Restaurant in the near future. He asked us to prepare wine and food to welcome him. The younger one thought this was very strange, so
