Chapter 81 Where is the concubine? It is clearly the ancestor
Lin Zhi thought, then lowered his head to look at Shen Shu's expression. Mao Mao likes to watch plays the most. He took Mao Mao to watch such a big play. She should be very happy, right?
Shen Shu frowned after hearing this. She had already suspected that Lu Jiaojiao had some power behind him, but now she was even more convinced.
I'm afraid there are only a few people in the entire capital who can deceive the prince and hide such a big person for such a long time. It can be found out with just a little investigation...
While she was thinking, Lin Zhi interrupted her thoughts by kissing her lips again.
She is not allowed to frown, and she is not allowed to think so much.
She subconsciously hugged Lin Zhi's neck, and Lin Zhi hugged her up slightly.
While listening to the prince being deceived by Lu Jiaojiao, he kissed Shen Shu on the lips and suddenly felt in a good mood.
The prince over there was already getting impatient. He broke away from Lu Jiaojiao's arms and said, "Just come back."
Lu Jiaojiao's expression darkened, and he spoke softly, "Your Highness..."
When the prince heard what Lu Jiaojiao said, he suddenly thought of another person in his mind. That person also called "Prince" in such a gentle way.
He felt a little more irritated and frowned, "The old ministers in the court are still waiting for me. It is not appropriate for me to stay here for a long time."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without even a trace of hesitation. Lu Jiaojiao looked at the heartless back of the prince, and his originally gentle eyebrows suddenly turned fierce.
On the back of the rockery, Lin Zhi had kissed and watched enough of the show, so he put Shen Shu down, raised his hand to tidy up her messy clothes, and wiped away the water stains on her lips with a handkerchief. , and then took her out.
Shen Shu took two steps and suddenly thought, "Just now Lu Jiaojiao has been calling herself my concubine, should I be called the same?"
She remembered that Mrs. Jing Ninghou seemed to call him like this when facing Jing Ninghou, so she tentatively said, "I..."
As soon as she said two words, she was interrupted by Lin Zhi, "You don't have to call me that."
He secretly cursed in his heart: How could she be a concubine in her daily behavior? She was clearly an ancestor.
Several people returned to the banquet one after another. As soon as the prince saw Shen Shu coming back, he couldn't help but look at her. He saw her cheeks were red and her lips were slightly swollen. He suddenly understood what happened to them just now.
The guilt that had arisen in him just now was suddenly washed away by an unknown emotion. Realizing his entanglement, an idea suddenly appeared in his heart that even he was afraid of, but he quickly suppressed it by force. It only turned into resentment towards Shen Shu.
She was obviously still his fiancée, but she was hanging out with her imperial uncle in public like this.
He was so tortured by his tangled heart that he just said in a low voice, "Fox!"
But he didn't expect that Lin Zhi would hear this insult. He slowly raised his head and looked at the prince, "You're not a vixen."
"It's your royal aunt."
When he said this, his voice was not quiet, so everyone around him heard him.
Then, there was a "plop" in his ears, and a minister was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
The attention of the people around him was immediately attracted to the minister. When he saw everyone looking at him, he sweated in embarrassment and said repeatedly, "It's because the stool is unstable, it's because the stool is unstable!"
Shen Shu couldn't help but laugh.
This scene cleverly alleviated the prince's embarrassment, diverted everyone's attention, and made the scene more relaxed.
The prince breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Zhi was not ready to let him go. He looked up at the prince again and repeated, "It's your aunt."
"Call Auntie Huang."
As a result, the scene that had just eased suddenly became serious again. The prince's heart was filled with various emotions, and he was so panicked that he didn't know what to do.
He wanted to get up and walk away, or have a quarrel with Lin Zhi, but his reason told him that the person in front of him was so powerful that he couldn't.
He could only desperately make excuses, "Uncle Huang and Miss Shen are not married yet, how can they be called Aunt Huang?"
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying, "It makes sense."
"We'll get married soon."
The prince didn't know why, but he suddenly felt like needles pricking his heart.
Then Lin Zhi directly pulled Shen Shu up, and everyone became nervous again. A minister on the other side asked in a low voice, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
"Go get married."
The man asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, are you going to ask for an order?"
If requested, His Highness would definitely not agree to such a ridiculous marriage.
Lin Zhi looked at him strangely, "I am getting married. Do I need to ask for permission from His Majesty?"
The minister was silent again, and then he remembered that this prince had always been arbitrary and always wanted to do whatever he wanted. With what he said, it was not impossible for him and Miss Shen to pay homage to him tonight.
He couldn't stop him at all and could only watch Lin Zhi take Shen Shu away.
Lin Zhi pulled Shen Shu out of the Prince's Mansion, took her into the carriage, and said to Changfeng, "Go back to the Mansion and get married."
Changfeng was so frightened that he almost fell off the carriage like the minister.
Shen Shu looked up at Lin Zhi and said, "It's okay to get married."
"But I don't want to be a widow."
Lin Zhi frowned, feeling irritable again.
It's really difficult.
…
Because Shen Shu was unwilling, the marriage was put on hold for the time being.
In the prince's palace, the prince didn't know how he felt when he heard the news. He had been upset in the past few days and even made mistakes in handling political affairs several times. After being scolded by his father, he was punished to stay at home.
When the queen mother heard about it, she called him into the palace and gave him a lecture. As he listened to the lecture, he became more and more irritable, so he simply threw up his sleeves and left, returning to the palace.
For some reason, he always felt that things were getting worse and worse recently, so he simply stayed in the courtyard and drank alone.
The more he drank, the clearer the image of that woman became in his mind. The more he thought of that woman, the more uncomfortable he felt.
At this moment, there were two people fighting in his heart, and one villain told him that he had wronged her, that he was sorry for her, and that if he had started treating her well earlier, this situation would not have happened.
Another villain told him that she was shameless when she went to seduce his imperial uncle.
The two thoughts in his heart were constantly torn apart, and he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
At this moment, a soft body suddenly hugged him. He subconsciously thought it was Shen Shu. Just as he was about to open his mouth, he saw Lu Jiaojiao's face.
Lu Jiaojiao's face was gentle, and he said with a distressed tone, "Drinking is harmful to your health. Your Highness should not drink so much."
The prince said "hmm", then raised his hand and took away Lu Jiaojiao's hand from his waist.
Lu Jiaojiao pursed her lips. Prince Ning was unreliable, so she set her sights on the crown prince again. In the past few days, she had made several sideways suggestions about the crown prince's position, but the crown prince was always vague.
She knew that the prince was probably even more unreliable than Prince Ning, so she had no choice but to turn her attention to Prince Ning. Remembering the order that Prince Ning had given her, she pondered for a while, and then shed a tear.
"I know that His Highness already cares about someone else. I don't ask His Highness to change his mind. I only hope that Your Highness can be happy."
She saw that the prince was obviously stunned, so she took the initiative to hug the prince's waist and pressed against her back. One of her tears fell on the back of the prince's hand, making her look even more pitiful. "I like your highness, so Even if I had to go through so much trouble to return to His Highness, when I come back, even if His Highness no longer likes me, I have worked hard and I have no regrets."
"I feel that Your Highness should be the same. Even if there are many difficulties, you must first pursue it bravely. Don't say anything about the outcome. You must pursue it bravely first so that you don't regret it."
When the prince heard Lu Jiaojiao's words, his heart suddenly moved.
Those originally vague emotions suddenly became clear, and those originally suppressed desires were released in an instant.
At this moment, he suddenly understood what he wanted to do.
