Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 294 Plum Garden
Shen Zhan looked at her fixedly.

After the afterglow fell on his face, there was a kind of handsomeness with blurred light and shadow between his brows and eyes, and he was dressed in a fox-fur black robe, which made his figure even more tall and straight.

Ye Lingwu took a small step back silently: "Why is Lord Hou here?"

There are only seats for women in the inner courtyard, so how could he, a man, "coincidentally" pass by here? The only way to say it is that he came to find her on purpose.

Shen Zhan didn't answer, and Ye Lingwu didn't want to leave casually. After thinking about it, he asked again: "How has Master Hou been doing in northern Xinjiang in the past three years?"

Shen Zhan's eyes darkened, and he replied, "Eating, drinking and having fun is fine."

Ye Lingwu smiled dryly, and said: "It's so good. During the three years when Lord Hou was not in the capital, Wang Shu took me into the palace and often heard that the empress misses you, and the old lady too."

Shen Zhan's eyes were deep, and the words hidden in his heart were silent for a long time before he said: "What about you, have you been okay for three years?"

Ye Lingwu said: "Everything is fine."

Shen Zhan said sarcastically: "You have been married to Jiang Dashi for three years and have not had any children. Does this mean everything is fine?"

"..." No matter what, this man would talk about the child.

Ye Lingwu pouted her neck, took a deep breath and said, "There are thousands of ways for husband and wife to get along, and not having children is one of them."

Shen Zhan twitched the corner of his mouth disapprovingly, and said, "You're right, but I've heard that Master Jiang has been weak and sick since he was a child, and Mrs. Jiang's life is going through a cold and warm life without knowing it."

Got kicked out again.

Ye Lingwu said: "I don't need Lord Hou to worry about my life."

"I don't worry about it at all, what does it matter to me if you don't have children." Shen Zhan's words were extremely contradictory, even with a bit of subtle jealousy.

Ye Lingwu frowned, and Fushen said: "If Master Hou wants to enjoy the plum blossoms, please do it yourself, Lingwu will not disturb you."

"... Someone is coming." Shen Zhan said in a deep voice.

Ye Lingwu paused for a moment when she raised her footsteps. When she listened carefully, there were indeed footsteps coming towards her.

Now that she is a married woman, if someone with a heart sees her alone with Shen Zhan, it may not be very pleasant to spread the news.

She looked flustered, looked around, saw a rockery barrier not far away, ran in without thinking.

Unexpectedly, the snow on the ground was not cleared, and a small part of the snow melted and formed thin ice. Ye Lingwu stepped on it and fell directly on his back to the ground.

"……Well"

Ye Lingwu let out a muffled groan, her facial features wrinkled into a ball. Fortunately, the clothes were thick enough, so she didn't hurt any bones in this back fall, but her flesh was a little sore.

Shen Zhan, who heard the movement outside, frowned, and was about to go over to check when he heard a delicate female voice from behind.

——"Why is Brother Wan Zhou here? It makes Hong Ling very easy to find."

The Sixth Princess stood at the intersection and saw Shen Zhan standing upright under the plum blossom tree with his back to her, his stern face instantly showed joy.

Seeing Shen Zhan ignoring her, the sixth princess was dissatisfied, and she walked over slowly and said, "Brother Wanzhou's return to Beijing banquet was very lively today. When Hong Ling came with His Royal Highness, he also met Fu Xiaoguo, who hadn't been out for a long time. Woolen cloth."

Shen Zhan glanced at her lightly, and said impatiently: "Princess Six is ​​not at the ladies' table, why are you here?"

The sixth princess pouted, and asked back: "Brother Wan Zhou is not here, why can't Hong Ling come?"

Shen Zhan was silent.

Behind the rockery barrier over there, Ye Lingwu stood up with difficulty, patted the snow on her body lightly, and cursed in her heart that the sixth princess was really a bad spirit, who was born to restrain her.

In the past three years, she went to many banquets with Jiang Yuan in the palace, and every banquet was inseparable from the six princesses' tricky words, so that she always left in a happy mood and returned disappointed.

Later, she learned to be smart, and she could not afford to be offended, and she could not afford to hide. As long as it was a palace banquet, she would always use the excuse of poor health, and push it away whenever she could. As time went by, she and the sixth princess hadn't seen each other for almost a year and a half.

When we meet again, the sixth princess has changed a lot. The original round face has disappeared. Although the sharp-edged cheeks are much better-looking than before, they are a bit more mean. She is dressed in a white velvet red cloak. It is not difficult for Lihua Huatian to see that today she went to the banquet after being well-dressed.

Ye Lingwu secretly exposed half of her face, peeking through the plum blossom branches in front of her, and saw the sixth princess looking up at the cold-faced Shen Zhan with a shy face.

"Brother Wanzhou, after you came back, the Queen Mother still mentioned your marriage to His Majesty, and the Queen Mother even asked when you will go to Changhua Palace to talk with her."

"...Your and my marriage?" Shen Zhan said solemnly.

The sixth princess lowered her head, nodded and said: "Yes, the empress has been worried about your difficult life in northern Xinjiang all these years, so she asked me to go to northern Xinjiang to find you half a year ago, and then I told the empress when I returned to Beijing. The empress was very happy to hear about many things between me and you, so she proposed a marriage offer to His Majesty."

Seeing that Shen Zhan's eyes were not happy, and she said nothing, the sixth princess quickly added: "This is because His Majesty naturally did not agree, but His Majesty said that we will discuss it after you return to Beijing."

Ye Ling's misty eyes flickered.

The queen has always boasted that she has nothing to do with the world, and she would ask the emperor to marry them.It's not without reason that the emperor didn't agree. If the sixth princess were to be married to Shen Zhan, the Baili clan would really be the only one.

"Your Majesty's marriage is not for the Empress and Your Majesty to worry about. The Sixth Princess has indeed reached the appropriate age for marriage. In the future, when the Empress Dowager decides to give you a marriage, this Marquis will personally offer a dowry for the Sixth Princess." Shen Zhan said in a cold tone. Cool, without the slightest ups and downs.

The sixth princess was stunned, her eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she said aggrievedly: "Brother Wanzhou thinks that Hong Ling is not good enough for you? Yes, Hong Ling's mother and concubine are just little beauties, and they are indeed not good enough for you in terms of family background and status." Ningbeihou Mansion, but... Hongling has admired you for so many years, and because you are willing to go to Beijiang alone to accompany you, isn't Brother Wanzhou not a little bit moved?"

"No." Shen Zhan said simply.

"..." The sixth princess was stunned and froze for a moment.

Ye Lingwu burst out laughing coldly, and quickly covered her mouth so as not to make a sound.

The sixth princess looked ashamed, but she was still relentless: "Brother Wanzhou doesn't want to get married, does he still have that person in his heart! She has been married for three years."

Back then in Yusu City, she saw Shen Zhan and Ye Lingwu setting up wishing lanterns on the bank of the river on the covered bridge. It was the first time she saw General Zhu Guo, who was known as "Cold-faced Yama", also had a tenderness like water. one side.

Jealousy and anger nearly consumed her.

She is jealous that the person Shen Zhan likes is not her, and she is angry that the person Shen Zhan likes is not her, but she is still a low-status merchant's daughter.

It was more insulting than slapping her.

Later, when I heard that Ye Lingwu married Jiang Yuan, it was probably because of her pride. When she thought that the arrogant Shen Xiaohou would have someone she couldn't get, the pleasure of revenge could not be expressed in words.
