"No, no, no, you can't be a dinosaur with your appearance. Dinosaurs are very ugly." Ming Ruoxiao understood.
"Oh, in that case." Si Haochen's face came closer and closer, and his eyelashes almost touched Mingruo, "Let's talk about who I am more destined to..."
"Well..." Mingruo shrank back, she still felt safer talking about dinosaurs.
"Which one?" Si Haochen asked aggressively.
This is the proposition: "Of course you are more destined to me, we are born in the same quilt and die in the same hole, hahaha."
"I am only destined to be with you." Si Haochen suddenly hugged Mingruo tightly, his voice was deep, and Mingruo actually heard a bit of vulnerability in it.
Mingruo raised his hand, placed it on Si Haochen's back, and patted it gently: "It's okay."
"Ruo'er." Si Haochen rubbed his chin against Mingruo's neck, "I will protect you for the rest of your life."
"Okay." Mingruo leaned on Fang's solid embrace, which made her feel at ease.
Now I am idle and bored, but I remembered the question I had just asked: "Then Princess Lanyang is not married to a prince, so why does she call her 'Madam' instead of 'Concubine'? Is she just an ordinary wife?"
"That's not true." Si Haochen said with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, "You're not a serious prince. Where did you get the prince's concubine?"
"Ah?" Mingruo's eyes sparkled with gossip, "Then the prince is not the biological son of Uncle Dong Ping?"
"Ahem." He, the princess, really dared to think, "The biological child should be the biological child. However, the earl's legitimate son has no title. Jiang An's position as the heir apparent was originally begged by her aunt and the queen, but it was just a title.
It just sounds nice and is of no use."
"Oh." It means that asking the princess of Lanyang to have the title of concubine is not as useful as the name of the princess.
The carriage stopped in front of the small courtyard, and Si Haochen led Mingruo inside and walked through the long secret passage. When they returned to Meiyuan, the sun was setting in the west. Mingruo stopped and looked at the sunset on the horizon in trance.
Si Haochen also stopped and stayed with her quietly.
"The sunset in the valley is more beautiful." Mingruo's lips curved into a slight smile.
Si Haochen wanted to say that as long as he was with her, there would be good scenery everywhere.
Seeing the two masters coming back, Aunt Dong came over quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty sent people here twice. The first time was to ask the Princess to go to Juyuan to attend to the illness. The old slave said that the Princess was frightened.
She was also sick. Then, the concubine sent someone to bring calming soup..."
Si Haochen suddenly felt that Mingruo was right, the sunset in the valley was more beautiful.
Mingruo looked at Si Haochen and asked with her eyes - what should she do?
"You go back to the dormitory to rest, while I go to the Juyuan to have a look." Si Haochen led Mingruo to the door of the dormitory, took off his mask and stuffed it into her hand, turned around and walked out.
Concubine Shen was leaning on the Arhat bed, with various dried and fresh fruits and snacks placed on the low table in front of her.
"The desserts in this big kitchen are becoming more and more exquisite." Concubine Shen was eating a piece of jujube and yam cake.
"My servant has asked. The young prince likes to eat snacks, so he brought back a cook from Jiangnan to make snacks." Bai Lian replied.
"Is Yan Mingruo in charge of the palace's middle-ranking officials?"
"Steward Zhou is still in charge of all the affairs in the house, and Lord Bai is in charge of the shops outside..." Bai Lian thought for a moment and said, "But I heard that if there is something that Butler Zhou and Lord Bai can't do, they still have to do it."
Ask the princess for instructions."
Concubine Shen suddenly felt that the snack in her mouth was no longer fragrant. She threw the half-eaten date antler and yam cake on the plate. Shen Bichi quickly handed her a handkerchief to wipe her hands: "I underestimated her. Is she really here?" The palace has stood firm. "
"Mother Concubine, the prince is here!" Eunuch Xia has done something bad. Eunuch Qiu, who was originally overwhelmed by him, has now become the eunuch beside Concubine Shen.
"Chen'er came to see me, why are you panicking!" Concubine Shen couldn't stand the panic of her subordinates, so she thought to herself that Xia Fu should use more.
The concubine also asked the princess to come over to attend to her illness at noon, and this afternoon she ate half a table of snacks and fruits... This and this really became the saying: the emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is.
"Hey!" Eunuch Qiu stamped his feet anxiously.
"My dear concubine, I will help you to go into the inner hall to rest." Bai Lian quickly thought of the key point: "Cailian, put away the fruit cakes."
Concubine Shen immediately understood what Bai Lian said, quickly put on her shoes, got off the Arhat bed, and went to the inner hall.
The palace was no better than the palace. When Eunuch Qiu got the news, Si Haochen had already entered Juyuan. So, when Si Haochen walked in, he saw Cailian hurriedly clearing the table, and Concubine Shen walking quickly and vigorously.
Everyone in the room was stunned. Cailian and Eunuch Qiu quickly greeted him: "My lord, Wan'an."
Concubine Shen paused, not knowing whether to continue walking or stop...
When Shen Bichi heard that her cousin was coming, she tied up her hair and bowed in a graceful manner: "Cousin Wan'an."
After bowing to the prince, Bai Lian, who was supporting Concubine Shen, had no choice but to turn around and salute, and Concubine Shen also turned around with an extremely embarrassed expression on her face: "Chen'er, here we come."
There was no extra expression on Si Haochen's face. He seemed to be unable to see everyone's discomfort. He pulled up an armchair and sat down: "It seems that the mother-in-law is getting better."
"As I get older, I can't lie down. I feel better after applying plaster, so I just want to go for a walk." Shen Taifei motioned to Bai Lian to help her back to the Arhat bed and sit down.
"You all go down, I will talk to my mother and concubine." Si Haochen glanced at the group of people who were at a loss.
Concubine Shen waved her hand, and the maids and eunuchs all retreated, leaving only Shen Bichi standing beside Concubine Shen, wringing her handkerchief pretending not to know.
Shen Bichi raised her head slightly and saw her cousin looking at her, his eyes cold and indifferent.
Concubine Shen coughed lightly: "Chen'er, just say whatever you want. Bichi is not an outsider either."
"I thought it would be better for her to go out." Si Haochen issued an order to expel the guest without any courtesy.
Concubine Shen was not sure what Si Haochen was going to say, so she had to say: "Bichi, go and see if my medicinal meal is ready."
"Yes, aunt." Although she was not happy, Shen Bichi still stepped out with small steps.
"Chen'er, do you have something to say to your mother?" Concubine Shen was very relieved to see her son return to his original majestic appearance.
"My mother and concubine have been in the palace for so many years, and finally they have a happy child, and they will take good care of themselves. I tell you clearly that no matter what, I will not accept Shen Bichi into the palace. You don't have to target me everywhere. Ruo'er, even if she wasn't here, nothing would happen to Shen Bichi." Si Haochen didn't bother to play Tai Chi and went straight to a showdown with Concubine Shen.
"Chen'er, you..." Concubine Shen's reputation has always depended on this son. Even if she was unhappy, she would not dare to break up with Si Haochen, "Concubine Shen is already used to being accompanied by Bi Chi. If you are serious If you don't like her, just give her the title of concubine and let her serve me legitimately, which can be regarded as fulfilling your filial piety for you."
