Chapter 26 Kneeling down

"Since you don't care about this blood bird's nest, why bother grabbing it from me?" Shen Nan said angrily, "Third brother, do you really hate my sister so much? You even want to steal bird's nests that others don't care about?"

"Second sister has overthought it. The only food available in the dining room now is rock-sugar bird's nest. Miss Yan is here as a guest, so we cannot neglect her." Shen Beizhu smiled apologetically at Yan Yan.

Who would have thought that just a bowl of blood bird's nest would allow Shen Nanhua to be so willful in front of the guests.

"If third brother wants to do favors from now on, it's best to ask me first, otherwise don't blame the second sister for not giving you face." Shen Nanhua looked at Shen Beizhu deeply, "It's something that shouldn't be yours. do not touch."

With that said, he waved his sleeves and left the yard.

"Ms. Yan laughed."

"It's okay, I've seen a lot of jokes."

Shen Beizhu: "..."

"Is this really a fake, or did the girl return the bracelet to me?" Shen Beizhu held the blood jade bracelet under the light and looked at it carefully.

No matter how you look at it, it looks exactly like the blood jade bracelet from before.

"Yes and no."

The fire of hell did not burn the blood jade bracelet to ashes, but it burned away all the evil spirits inside.

Yan Yan saw that he had nowhere to put the blood jade bracelet, so he sent it to Shen Beizhu.

The dining room brought a large table full of food, including sweet and spicy as Yanji liked.

Among them, a large plate full of sweet and sour pork tenderloin and spicy rabbit head went into Yan Yan's stomach alone.

Xiao Bai Zhu and Shen Beizhu only took two bites before stopping their chopsticks. Yan Yan saw that they didn't move their chopsticks and directly picked up their plates to eat.

Shen Beizhu doubted whether Yan Yan was hungry or not.

Just before she said she was hungry, she took a few bites of the blood bird's nest. She said she was not hungry. All the vegetables on the table went into her stomach, even the vegetable juices were mixed with the rice.

After all, Prince Shen's Mansion is a royal palace with rich dishes. This is the first time I saw what the bottom of the plate looks like at the dinner table.

Seeing that Yan Yan was eating well, Shen Beizhu wanted to use his chopsticks again. After all, he didn't pick up any more vegetables. He always felt that if he took one more bite of Yan Yan, he would miss one.

"We should leave after eating." Xiao Baizhu wiped his mouth with a brocade handkerchief and handed a brocade handkerchief to Yan Yan.

"I'd like to stay one night."

"You two might as well stay one night."

Yan Yan and Shen Beizhu said in unison, and she glanced at Shen Beizhu approvingly.

Boy, you are indeed on the right track.

"You find me a yard with a stone path, and my brother and I will stay for one night."

After Shen Nanhua left the yard, she became more and more angry as she thought about it.

This third brother is nicer to outsiders than he is to her, the second sister.

"Turn your elbows outward!" Shen Nanhua gritted his teeth and paused, "What did third brother call that girl just now?"

"As for the girl, the prince calls her 'Miss Yan'." The maid lowered her eyebrows and said.

Shen Nanhua narrowed his eyes, "I can't cure you, how can my grandfather not cure you?"

Moonlight spreads in the courtyard.

Yan Yan had had enough fun standing on the cobblestone road with bare feet. As soon as he put on his shoes, he turned around.

The area beyond the moonlight was even darker than usual, and a pair of boots appeared in the shadow of the courtyard wall, with the knees above being hidden in the shadow.

Yan Yan looked at the man standing under the shadow, and then he saw the man slowly kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to the ground.

She frowned and raised her foot to go to the shadow. She only took one step, but there was no trace of anyone under the shadow.

"Why did he kneel to you?" Xiao Baizhu walked out of the room.

Yan Yan shook his head, "I have never been out of Wutou Mountain before, let alone come to this capital."

"Grandfather hasn't sent someone to drive out the Yan siblings yet?" Shen Nanhua was angry.

After waiting for a day, Na Yan and Yu were still staying in the house safe and sound.

"Are you afraid that the crown prince will be offended, so you didn't report it at all?"

Several maids were too frightened to express their anger. A nanny came in from outside and coaxed Shen Nan to say a few words and said, "Actually, it's not just the young lady. When the sister and brother named Yan came yesterday to pass the message to the prince, the master was also present. I also went to tell the old prince about this matter."

"What on earth is Grandfather thinking? He clearly told us not to mention anyone's surname, but now we tell him and there's no response." Shen Nanhua slapped the fan heavily on the table.

"Miss, please pack up. The princess wants to come to the house to have a talk." Mammy said bravely.

"You didn't tell me earlier!"

The gate of hell can be opened at any time. Yan Yan wanted to play a prank and leave Prince Shen's mansion, but Xiao Bai Zhu stopped him with a sullen face.

Shen Beizhu sent the two of them out of Prince Shen's Mansion. As soon as they left the palace, he saw a group of people stopping in front of the Prince's Mansion. One of the sedans caught Yan Yan's attention.

There is a circle of gauze curtains surrounding the sedan, which looks like water waves when moving. Small palace lanterns are hung on the four corners of the sedan's roof.

The young man behind Shen Beizhu quickly knelt on the ground when he saw the sedan. The servants around him also knelt on the ground like the young man.

Yan Yan raised his eyebrows.

I don’t know which nobleman is in this sedan chair.

Except for Shen Beizhu and Shen Nanhua who came to greet him, the four people present, including Yan Yan and Xiao Baizhu, were all kneeling on the ground.

When Shen Nanhua saw that Yan and Yan did not kneel down, nor did they make a sound to remind them, she was waiting for the princess to punish these two people, and then even Shen Beizhu would be punished.

The people he brought with him were unruly.

Yan Yan and Xiao Bai Zhu were also accustomed to being knelt down and kowtowed by ghosts in the underworld. They did not even kneel when they saw the emperor, let alone these mere people who could not live to be a hundred years old.

A gorgeous woman in palace attire was helped out of the palace sedan. Her face was magnificent and colorful, and a vivid peony flower was painted on her forehead.

On the head is a ruby ​​inlaid with a golden walking tube, and on the tassels are pendants of red agate, which gently sway when he smiles, which makes him even more graceful.

"It's more grand than us." Yan Yan sighed.

The underworld is not as good as the human world, where there are thousands of lights, peace and joy. Instead, it is filled with endless darkness, thick fog that never dissipates, and a coldness that cannot let the sun shine in.

Even if they have a priesthood and are impermanent, the ghosts of the underworld will kneel and kowtow, and grace and luxury will not appear on them.

Yan Yan has white hair, and standing upright among the kneeling people is particularly conspicuous.

Shen Beizhu wanted to win over these siblings.

But he didn't dare.

If you dare to offend Princess Jiamin, just offend her. At worst, he will keep her secret.

"Where do the untouchables come from who don't know etiquette?" Princess Jiamin narrowed her eyes, "If they don't know how to salute, then break their legs."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of eunuchs and guards were waiting to come forward. Before they could get within three steps of Yan Yan, they felt weak and fell to the ground.

Yan Yan only came to see Shen Beizhu, and others were unimportant to her.

Princess Jiamin waved away the hand she was supporting, and looked at the things in front of her with her chest rising and falling.

No matter how many eunuchs and guards came forward, they could not get close to Yan Yu.

"Be bold!"

Yan Yan turned around and smiled, "Princess, please keep your voice down. I'm not very courageous. Don't scare me."

Suddenly, Yan Yan looked at the man standing next to Princess Jiamin.

He looks good, but the most commendable thing about him is his scholarly spirit. He seems to be a handsome man who knows astronomy and geography.
