After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 30 Proposal for Marriage

When Shen Hebei saw Ren Yuhuan bending down to look at a pot of Phalaenopsis, he naturally reached out to help her tuck the long hair hanging on her temples behind her ears.

When Ren Yuhuan was touched by Shen Hebei's hand, he immediately jumped away like a frightened little white rabbit and stood aside. His cheeks were blushing, not because of the wind, and his eyes were as red as peach petals.

What does he want to do?
  Ren Yuhuan was panicked and wary.

Shen Hebei put down his hand, smiled, turned around, and the oil-paper umbrella in his hand followed suit.

"Your mother is very good and lives in my palace. She is very grateful for my life-saving grace and said that you mother and daughter are willing to do their best for me to repay the kindness."

Ren Yuhuan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she saw Shen Hebei smile brightly: "I advise her to just live in peace, and she doesn't need to think so much."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ren Yuhuan bowed and thanked him, then thought for a while and said, "What mother said is, thank you for your grace to survive. If your prince has something that I can do, I will definitely try my best to do it."

Shen Hebei smiled and looked behind a flower tree, only to see the light yellow figure swaying and disappearing. He did not touch Ren Yuhuan and stretched out his hand to greet her to get up.

Ren Yuhuan felt at ease when he saw Shen Hebei like this.

Shen Hebei stretched out his hand towards the outside of the umbrella. After the spring rain, he put away the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and handed it to Ren Yuhuan upright.

"I came to the palace to see Brother Huang. It's great to see you here. I'll say goodbye now."

Ren Yuhuan didn't want it, and it was hard to explain when she took it back. However, Shen Hebei let go. If she didn't take it, the umbrella would fall to the ground and the ribs would break.

I saw the white clothes sway gracefully, turned around, waved at her, smiled and walked away.

Ren Yuhuan lowered his head and turned the oil-paper umbrella in his hand. He felt the residual warmth of his palm on the handle. She couldn't help but think of what he had done to arrange her hair just now, and couldn't help but blush again.

He quickly took the umbrella and ran back to Yikun Palace.

She placed the oil-paper umbrella on the wooden stand and watched the raindrops slide down the tung oil-paper umbrella to the ground.

When Shen Hebei heard that Shen Yanzhi was in the imperial garden, he came alone holding an umbrella. Unexpectedly, he found Shen Yanzhi hiding behind the flowers and trees, staring in one direction.

Shen Hebei squinted his eyes and took a closer look. At first glance, he thought the little face was that of a noble concubine, but when he looked at the clothes, Shen Hebei was shocked, and it turned out to be Ren Yuhuan!

How could a lonely and arrogant person like Shen Yanzhi hide behind a tree and look worriedly at Ren Yuhuan, who was walking alone in the rain?

Shen Hebei raised the corners of his lips and walked aside deliberately, pretending not to notice where Ren Yuhuan was before he appeared in front of her.

He held an umbrella and helped her tidy up her temples, all for the sake of showing Shen Yanzhi.

Now Shen Yanzhi is sitting alone in the imperial study, with an incense burner filled with ambergris steaming on his table, but Shen Yanzhi cannot feel at ease at all.

He held the brush in his hand and wrote one after another without any hesitation or pause on the paper.

Wang Lian stepped forward to report. Shen Yanzhi didn't want to see him at first, but when he looked up, he saw Shen Hebei already standing by the door.

"come in."

Shen Hebei walked into the imperial study, picked up Shen Yanzhi's calligraphy from the ground, looked at it and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's handwriting is very cursive. Can you give me the first one?"

Shen Yanzhi raised his eyelids and stared at the words, and his tone was a little cold: "If your brother likes it, I will have something good for you in a few days. Wang Lian will take out what I have written and burn it."

Shen Hebei was amused in his heart, and the smile on his face did not diminish: "Chen Di is studying chess at home these days. Can I play against the emperor again?"

The two of them were playing chess, but their intentions were not on the chessboard.

The corners of Shen Yanzhi's mouth pursed into a straight line, listening to Shen Hebei keep saying his words.

"Brother Imperial, didn't I tell you last time that I have the girl I like?"

Shen Yanzhi didn't pay much attention to it at first, but now he knew who he was talking to.

"What are you busy with today?" Shen Yanzhi changed the subject.

How could Shen Hebei go around and immediately said with a smile: "I'm thinking that if I can win your Majesty today, your Majesty will agree to help me get married."

As he said that, his chess piece fell, immediately sealing Shen Yanzhi's chance of winning.

Wang Lian was beside him, and then he dropped the tray in his hand onto the chessboard.

The black and white chess pieces on the chessboard bounced up and collapsed everywhere.

Wang Lian knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please atone for your sins. I made a big mistake when I was in a daze!"

Shen Hebei didn't care at all and interceded for Wang Lian.

"Your Majesty, the girl I like is Ren Yuhuan, the concubine of your beloved concubine."

Shen Yanzhi's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was a little colder than before.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the imperial concubine and ask her to ask Ren Yuhuan what she thinks."

When Shen Hebei heard this, he knew he couldn't bring it up again, so he changed the topic.

Shen Yanzhi immediately drove to Yikun Palace. Ren Qianyu was about to go out when he saw the emperor's chariot coming, so he could only welcome it.

Shen Yanzhi looked carefully, stretched out his hand to hold Ren Qianyu's hand, and took her into his arms.

Ren Qianyu was a little embarrassed, but her face was very happy. She lowered her eyelids and said with a smile: "Your Majesty - this is still in front of the palace gate, let's go in first!"

After confirming that it was not Ren Yuhuan, Shen Yanzhi let go of Ren Qianyu and said to her: "Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."

Shen Yanzhi's expression fluctuated. Ren Qianyu was a little confused and quickly followed in.

Shen Yanzhi sat high on the soft floor, and Ren Qianyu did not dare to step forward. She just stood in the hall and rummaged in her heart, not knowing what happened.

The cautious Ren Qianyu raised her eyes and looked at Shen Yanzhi: "Your Majesty, what happened? I am afraid..."

Shen Yanzhi calmed down the anger in his eyes and waved for Ren Qianyu to sit next to Ruantan.

"Today the prince asked me to marry your concubine Ren Yuhuan."

Ren Qianyu heard the sound and without thinking, she just shouted in panic: "No!"

Shen Yanzhi looked at the imperial concubine intently, and Ren Qianyu immediately smiled and held Shen Yanzhi's hand and said: "The status does not match. I am afraid that my concubine will be looked down upon in the palace."

Ren Qianyu really never expected such a move, and she had no idea how Ren Yuhuan got involved with the prince. She seemed to be thinking in her heart, wishing she could bring up Ren Yuhuan for questioning immediately.

In order to prevent Ren Yuhuan from lying later, Ren Qianyu looked at Shen Yanzhi with a smile: "My concubine has been living in the palace, but I don't know how she met the prince?"

Shen Yanzhi also wanted to know!
  It seems that Ren Yuhuan likes to create chance encounters in the Royal Garden on the corridor. Not only did she intercept him on the corridor, but she also met Shen Hebei in the garden!

Good on you, Ren Yuhuan!

Fire flashed in Shen Yanzhi's eyes, and when he turned to see Ren Qianyu, who looked similar to Ren Yuhuan, he threw away Ren Qianyu's hand with anger.

Ren Qianyu held her hand in panic and was about to kneel down, but was protected by Shen Yanzhi.

"What is your concubine doing?"

Ren Qianyu didn't understand, shouldn't she be the only one who should be angry? Why is Shen Yanzhi so angry?

Are you angry at Ren Yuhuan for befriending the prince secretly?
  Okay, how much trouble does Ren Yuhuan have to cause her?
