Chapter 19 Is it sincerity? Is it a temptation?

Shen Yizhi stared at the woman's face, trying to discern clues from her expression.

But he saw the woman lowering her eyes, and the shadows cast by her long and curved eyelashes blocked her eyes, making it difficult for him to see the clues.

But I felt a sense of sadness inexplicably.

Leng Lanzhi was indeed very sad.

Now is not the time to reveal the truth, so naturally she can't alert the enemy.

But I still think of the experience of being betrayed, the pain of occasionally waking up from madness, the hatred and sadness when I learned the truth, and the sadness of being chased by the one I love...

She spoke slowly, and the clearer voice came into Shen Yizhi's ears: "This marriage was originally a mistake caused by my father misunderstanding the consort's intention. I understand the pain and resistance of the consort, so I will not force it. We can have children of our own.

However, the huge Pingnan Marquis Mansion will always need someone to inherit it in the future, and the prince-in-law must have a child of his own."

Shen Yizhi's heart skipped a beat.

What does she mean by this?

He looked at Leng Lanzhi inquiringly, with just the right amount of sarcasm on his face: "The princess is joking, but as the royal consort, Yi Zhi doesn't dare to do anything arrogant."

Leng Lanzhi sighed: "If I don't agree, it's an act of transgression. If I agree, it won't be the case."

She looked at Shen Yizhi calmly: "Just think of it as my punishment for forcing this marriage. I owe it to you."

She ordered the coachman to drive the carriage again, and before lowering the curtain, a sweet voice came from the carriage: "Your Majesty, you can think about it carefully. Come to me at any time after you have thought about it clearly. There is no need to be burdened."

The carriage quickly disappeared from sight.

However, Shen Yizhi could not recover for a long time.

Did she allow him to have a child of his own?

Even if the child was not born to her?

Is she sincere or is she testing?

"Son, does she mean that you can take a concubine?" Zhao asked happily, forgetting all the unpleasantness in an instant.

If her son can take concubines, he can bring back women from outside, and An'er will not need to be secretly adopted as an adopted son in their name.

Although Shen Yizhi was not clear-headed when he was raising his wife, he was extremely clear-headed at this time: "Regardless of whether it is true or false, An'er's identity must not be exposed, because the child was born before she let go. Once the child is known to the world, , the backbone of my Pingnan Marquis Mansion will be broken, and there is also the risk of being beheaded."

Zhao's excitement suddenly dissipated.

Leng Lanzhi returned to Jinxiu Garden and said to Xiaoju: "Go and prepare some gifts. Later, I will personally go and apologize to Mr. Du."

She had just come out of Taifu's Mansion and was going back now.

Xiaorou was indignant: "Princess, why bother with the young master anymore? Even if he doesn't have any respect for you, his study attitude is not good! You spent so much effort to invite Taifu Du to come out, the young master doesn't Even if you cherish it, the consort and his wife don’t cherish it either. My wife even went to scold Taifu Du today..."

"Who said that I have to take care of Shen Lin'an?" Leng Lanzhi took a sip of herbal tea and said calmly: "Taifu Du came out because of my face. He has been wronged today, so naturally I can't No representation.

However, with Taifu Du's status and knowledge, he has the freedom to choose whether to teach or not. Even if I am a princess, I cannot force others to do anything."

Xiaorou looked happy: "You don't plan to take care of the young master anymore?"

"No matter." Leng Lanzhi looked indifferent.

What's the use of a white-eyed wolf who has never regarded her as a mother?

If she feels bored, she might as well find some younger brothers and nephews to encourage her. After all, these people are close relatives to her. No matter which older brother or younger brother ascends the throne in the future, she will be the eldest princess, and these people must also be called respectfully. She is called royal sister/aunt.

In the afternoon, Leng Lanzhi came to the door in person with gifts and expressed her attitude to Mr. Du - Shen Linan's attitude was really naughty. She apologized deeply. Whether Mr. Du wanted to teach him or not was entirely up to him. .

Before leaving, she took a look at He Qianqian.

The little girl was very happy staying with Mrs. Xie. When Leng Lan left, the little girl was writing on a copybook.

Mrs. Xie stood next to Leng Lanzhi, her eyes full of smiles: "This girl is very diligent, and the princess has good taste."

Leng Lanzhi smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work, teacher."

Leng Lanzhi originally planned to send the little girl to Mrs. Xie every morning and take her back to Pingnanhou Mansion in the evening, but since they were all here today, she picked her up in advance.

Send it back early tomorrow morning, and the little girl can start formal study.

Mrs. Xie has no objection.

Returning to Jinxiu Garden, Leng Lanzhi took a bath and walked out dressed neatly. He heard He Qianqian's voice coming from outside the house, her voice was very low: "Sister Xiaorou, please tell me how annoying the princess is on weekdays." What? I can remember it so that I don’t make the princess angry in the future.”

Since the crab incident, Leng Lanzhi will not go to the dining room to eat with the Shen family unless there are special circumstances.

Leng Lanzhi was leaning against the window, studying a biography, and Xiaoju said, "Princess, would you like to have your meal first?"

Today's main dish is a dish of hibiscus shrimp balls. The raw material of shrimp is transported from Haicheng in the south at high speed. Enough ice must be kept along the way to ensure that the shrimp meat does not spoil.

Leng Lan went to the table and was about to invite He Qianqian to join him for a meal, but found that the little girl was not there: "Where is Qianqian?"

Xiaoju said: "Back to the princess, Miss He is in the kitchen."

Leng Lanzhi was puzzled: "What was she doing in the kitchen?"

There was a smile in Xiaorou's eyes: "Miss He said that she wants to learn all the skills to take care of the princess, and cooking is one of them. She has been working in the kitchen just now."

Leng Lanzhi was silent for a moment.

I wanted to say no, but then I changed my mind.

In her previous life, she treated Shen Lin'an unreservedly, giving him the best and not wanting him to suffer a little, but in the end she raised him crookedly.

This time, she didn't plan to interfere too much.

Her way of repaying her kindness was to give He Qianqian a chance to climb up.

As for how to climb, it depends on the little girl's temperament and character.

And she is only responsible for giving opportunities.

Not long after, all the food was on the table, and He Qianqian was brought into the house.

The little girl had just washed her face, and now her face was still wet with moisture and her cheeks were flushed, which showed that it was quite hot in the kitchen.

But her little dew-like eyes were full of smiles.

"Let's have a meal." Leng Lanzhi waved.

The little girl smiled brightly: "Yes, princess!"

While eating, He Qianqian glanced at Leng Lanzhi from time to time.

Leng Lanzhi noticed these gazes and said nothing.

After the meal, He Qianqian took the initiative to help in the small kitchen, but Leng Lanzhi did not stop him.

After night fell, Xiaorou took He Qianqian to bed, and Axiang came forward and said respectfully: "Princess, the consort entered the palace today and has not left the house since leaving the palace."

Leng Lanzhi frowned.

It's been two days and he hasn't gone to see that woman yet?

Or is it that he hasn't had time to bring people close to the capital yet?
