Shen Shu put her arms on the table and rested her chin on her arms, watching Lin Zhi embroider stitch by stitch.
Lin Zhi continued to embroider for half an hour. When he finished embroidering, he raised his head and realized that the person beside him had fallen asleep.
He found it funny, got up again, carried her to the bed, and covered her with a quilt himself.
He stood up to collect the menstrual belt, and then lay down next to Shen Shu.
I kind of wanted to hug her, but I remembered that women are always afraid of the cold when they have sex, so I didn't dare.
I could only look at Shen Shu's sleeping face in the dark. After looking at it for a long time, I closed my eyes.
Because she was getting married recently, the palace of the prince and the Marquis of Jingning were very busy every day. Shen Shu was too embarrassed to be idle, so she worked around with Lin Zhi every day. An embroiderer came and measured her waist, and a goldsmith came. Make jewelry for her.
After being busy like this for nearly a month, Jing Ninghou couldn't help himself and came to pick him up personally.
So even though Lin Zhi was reluctant to give up, he could only let Shen Shu follow Jing Ninghou into the carriage and return to Jingning Hou's mansion.
Shen Shu got on the carriage and found that Mrs. Jing Ninghou had also arrived. She took Shen Shu's hand and stroked her hair.
There is still half a month until the wedding, and the Jingning Marquis Mansion has already been hung with red silk. Shen Xiao has also returned today. The young man's figure is getting taller and taller, and his eyebrows have become a little resolute. When he sees his sister, he subconsciously wants to pounce on her. When he went up, he realized that his sister was about to get married, so he hesitated for a moment and did not go forward.
However, Shen Shu stepped forward, raised her head and looked up at her younger brother, who was already taller than herself, and said with a smile, "Xiao'er has grown up."
Shen Xiao looked at his sister's gentle brows, and although he felt sour in his heart, he still nodded.
They were not biological siblings. He knew that after his sister entered Bei'an Palace, they would never be that close again.
Or maybe, they were no longer that close a long time ago...
Although the young man was full of disappointment at this time, he still tried his best to smile at his sister, "I recently learned a new swordsmanship from Chang Lan, and I'm here to show it to my sister."
Shen Shu responded, and Shen Xiao hesitated for a moment before taking Shen Shu to the plum garden in the backyard.
He remembered that last winter, it was here that he saw Lin Zhi lowering his head and kissing his sister.
Even though a year of winter had passed, the plum blossoms had all withered, and the people in front of him had changed slightly, the young man still couldn't help but recall that scene.
In front of Shen Shu, he stood where he stood that time again.
Even though his hand was trembling slightly at this time, the young man still drew the sword without hesitation.
Shen Shu stood not far away and looked at him. Seeing his sword energy, he would cut off a piece of plum branch from time to time and sparsely fall on the ground.
When the young man finished dancing with the sword, all the gloomy look on his face had disappeared. He came to Shen Shu excitedly and said to Shen Shu expectantly, "Sister, am I good at dancing?"
Shen Shu smiled and praised, "Xiao'er is the best dancer."
Shen Xiao smiled. Even though he felt sad, he also understood that to grow up, you always have to bear what you have to bear and give up what you should give up.
The two siblings talked together for a whole day, until it got dark, and Shen Xiao reluctantly got into the sedan chair and returned to the palace.
…
Lin Zhi came to Jingninghou Mansion secretly in the afternoon.
His father-in-law guarded him like a wolf. He had clearly told him at the beginning that he was not allowed to see Shen Shu for fourteen days before the wedding, so he had no choice but to climb over the wall of the Hou Mansion, and then slowly walked around the Hou Mansion. All the guards and servants successfully found Shen Shu.
At this time, Shen Shu was sitting in the pavilion talking with Shen Xiao. The shadow of the pavilion fell on her face, making him squint to see the expression on her face clearly.
It's smiling.
Gee, I feel so happy talking to this little kid.
He suddenly felt a little unhappy, so he picked off a flower branch and rubbed it in his hands.
But then, he no longer felt unhappy.
Because at this time, the wind suddenly blew up in the Hou Mansion, and the red silk originally hanging on the eaves suddenly blew into his hand.
He lowered his eyes to look at the red silk on his palm, then raised his eyes to look at Shen Xiao who was enjoying himself, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips and thought of a good idea.
Not long after, the servants of the Hou Mansion discovered that the red silk on the eaves had been blown away by the wind, and they were looking for it eagerly. Lin Zhi could only raise his hand and let the red silk fly away again, and then escaped from the mansion. people came to Shen Shu's room.
The last time he came to Shen Shu's room, he had been sulking with Shen Shu and had not looked at the room carefully. Only now did he look at the room seriously, and he saw the dressing table with a bronze mirror, which was red in color. window curtains, and a small shelf with many girls' things on it.
He had never been to a woman's boudoir before, and he still found it a bit strange, so he sat in front of the dressing table, opened a box and studied the contents inside.
So as soon as Shen Shu opened the door, she saw Lin Zhi frowning and looking at a small box of lip balm.
She was startled and asked him quickly, "What are you doing here?"
Lin Zhi put the fat box back on the table, raised his head and looked at Shen Shu seriously, "I saw the calendar you drew."
"Today is a good day to get pregnant."
Shen Shu's face turned red and she wished she could raise her hand to hit him to death.
Lin Zhi's face was still serious, and he even continued to speak, "I have read it, and the next seven days are all suitable days for pregnancy."
Shen Shu bit her lip and said in disbelief, "Lin Zhi..."
But the other party just kept looking at her, not preparing to leave, nor did he intend to take the initiative to hug her.
After a while, Shen Shu finally couldn't hold it any longer and walked directly to Lin Zhi. Lin Zhi finally raised her hand and hugged him.
Shen Shu buried her face in his arms, grabbed the clothes on his shoulders with her hands, and said in a low voice, "My father will find out if you do this."
"No." Lin Zhi's tone was very determined.
Shen Shu was full of despair, "You will definitely be discovered in seven days!"
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and finally coaxed her, "Yes, he will be discovered."
Shen Shu then lightly hammered his shoulder.
He smiled, then put his hand on her back, "It's time to take a medicinal bath."
His body was too cold. If a woman wanted to conceive, she couldn't bear the cold, so he could only take her to take medicinal baths every day.
Shen Shu thought for a moment and finally said "hmm".
So Lin Zhi secretly took Shen Shu to take a medicinal bath.
The moonlight was very good today, and she could still see the road even without lighting a lantern, so Shen Shu could also see the patrolling guards popping out of the Hou Mansion from time to time.
Shen Shu was so scared that she only dared to follow him and hold his hand tightly.
Lin Zhi felt the slight sweat on the palm of the person beside him. After thinking for a moment, he simply raised his hand and hugged Shen Shu horizontally in his arms.
Just when Shen Shu was scared, she was suddenly picked up by Lin Zhi, and she almost screamed out of fear.
Fortunately, she controlled it in time, bit her lip and hooked Lin Zhi's neck.
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and coaxed her softly, "Don't be afraid."
Then he hugged her directly, bypassed the guards of the Hou Mansion, and walked forward dexterously.
Shen Shu listened to Lin Zhi's footsteps and became extremely nervous.
Especially the sound of Lin Zhi's footsteps, occasionally mixed with the footsteps and voices of some guards in the Hou Mansion, made her heart beat faster and faster.
However, the more nervous she became, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Lin Zhi listened to the footsteps that were getting closer and closer, but he had no intention of going around or avoiding them.
