reborn child bride

Chapter 288 Entering the Palace (5)
Three days later, Shen Ji went to the Palace of Prince Lan for a banquet. Princess Lan invited mostly people from the clan and noble women.Shen Ji thought, fortunately there is Xu Wu, otherwise she would not be familiar with people in this circle.

Before Shen Ji finished the ceremony, Princess Lan pulled her up, "Good sister, don't be too polite, you saved the prince, you are the benefactor of our family. I have a lot of guests here, and you are familiar with Concubine He, I'll let her entertain you, and we'll have a good talk later."

Shen Ji hurriedly said: "Wangfei just go to work."

Concubine Lan said to He Yun again: "I'll leave Sister Xiaoji to you, please greet me."

"Yes, don't worry, princess."

He Yun was a little uncomfortable with Shen Ji hiding the fact that she saved King Lan, but she couldn't express it. Now that Princess Lan had given her the task, she pulled her affectionately and said, "Xiao Ji, before the greenhouse Please come and see if you are not feeling well. It happens that the hollyhocks in the backyard are blooming just right. This time, you must take a good look, so that you can think about others.”

The hollyhock was naturally transplanted from central Sichuan to the capital, so He Yun used it to tease Shen Ji, who lowered his head slightly, looking shy.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the back garden. Thanks to you today, I don't have to set rules in front of the princess."

"Okay!" Shen Ji thought for a while, and explained to He Yun that she couldn't really let go, so he didn't say anything.

Someone patted on the shoulder, and looking back, it was Xu Wu, "You two don't even want to find me to go out to play together."

With Xu Wu, Shen Ji felt much better, and pulled her along, "Didn't I see you, where did you transfer from?"

Xu Wu whispered: "I was in front of my mother-in-law just now. When I saw you slipping out, I called out and chased you out." The relationship between the side concubine of Prince Lan's mansion.The Yuan family also wanted to have a good relationship with them, so the mother-in-law was able to let her out to play.

He Yun whispered: "You are all mothers, and you still think about playing all day long. It seems that the last time you lived in the temple for 49 [-] days, you still haven't been locked up." Copying Buddhist scriptures for the queen mother.

Xu Wu said: "That's right, why did you fall in love with the Queen Mother?"

Shen Ji shook his head, "I don't know either."

Those two people looked at her and knew that she really didn't know. No one knew why. Could it be that they really liked it at the first sight.

He Yun smiled and said, "With the Queen Mother supporting you, no one will dare to bully you in the future."

Shen Ji smiled, not easy to answer.She could tell that He Yun was a little dissatisfied with herself, and she didn't know if it was simply because she used her and lied to her, or she was a little aware of King Lan's thoughts.Concubine Lan Shen Ji didn't notice any emotion she had towards him at all, it seems that He Yun's level is still a bit worse than that of the concubine.

There is a small river in the back garden of Prince Lan's mansion, which is running water. After admiring the flowers, He Yun asked them if they wanted to row a boat.

Xu Wu waved the palace fan and sighed, "The three of us travel together like this, it's like when we were each unmarried four years ago. It's so rare! Then let's go."

The creek was crystal clear, and there were trees beside it for shade. There was a woman who was in charge of rocking the boat, and the three of them strolled leisurely.Shen Ji also took the fan handle to poke the fish in the river.

"Did you poke it?" Xu Wu leaned over and asked.

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Grandma Yuan, don't move so violently, be careful not to overturn the boat."

The boat swayed slightly. Xu Wu had recently gained weight. People who hated her said that she was suspicious, and thought that this woman was mocking her for being fat and almost capsized the boat. She said angrily, "Obviously it was you!" It’s my fault if the boat holds up poorly.”

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "Yes, what Grandma Yuan Fourth said is true. It's because the little one didn't hold up well."

"It's almost there."

He Yun took the edge of the fan and tapped her on the shoulder, "It was you who made the boat sway. It wasn't Mama Dong's skill, Xiao Ji was the first to fall into the water. The princess told me to treat her well. I won't let you go."

Mama Dong gave He Yun a grateful look.

Shen Ji was sitting by the side of the boat to poke the fish, she was so frightened by the shaking just now that she quickly grabbed the side of the boat, and now she was also looking at Xu Wu quietly.Then the latter said: "I'm just curious, well, Xiaoshao, you come to the middle, and let me sit on the side instead."

Shen Ji pointed to the opposite side, "Where do you sit?" He Yun sat in the middle to maintain balance, and Xu Wu also sat in the middle to chat with her just now, and the other side was empty.

"Ok."

Seeing that they had reached the area separated by fences and cloth barriers, Mama Dong and another Mama Fan were about to turn around. There seemed to be male guests fishing by the river to kill time.

"I don't know where the wild girl came from, but she has won the favor of grandma. She dares to interfere in such an occasion." A man's voice suddenly came from over there.

Shen Ji felt familiar after hearing it, and then thought about what to say, isn't this the voice of Jiang Shizi.

Someone over there persuaded: "Didn't she save King Lan? Princess Lan is right to invite her here."

He Yun frowned, telling the two mothers to turn around and go back.One side said: "Xiao Ji, that Prince Jiang has always been rampant. He was forced to bow to you to apologize a few days ago. I think it was because he was dissatisfied. Don't take it personally."

Jiang Shizi has a noble status, and there is nothing she can do about it.

Shen Ji shook his head, "No."

Xu Wu glanced over there.

Shen Ji thought to himself, Lin Ziqin is so cute when compared with this Jiang Shizi.

Back in the hall, there were more and more people coming. Princess Lan was chatting and laughing with a few noble ladies from the clan. When she heard that they were coming back from rowing, she said with a smile: "It's better to be young."

"Princess Nanyang is here..." the praisers outside sang.This is King Lan's aunt, Jiang Shizi's mother has arrived.

Everyone hurriedly stood up at the doorway to greet each other, "See the princess!"

The eldest princess didn't look like she had such an older son, she raised her head slightly, "I heard that everyone is here today, so I'm here to join in the fun. Everyone, please excuse me!"

"Thank you princess."

Concubine Lan stepped forward and took the eldest princess to sit on the right seat, and called everyone to sit down.Princess Lan is a very competent hostess, and everyone present can feel her warm hospitality, and no one will feel that they have been left out.

Shen Ji was still talking and laughing with Xu Wu and He Yun, seemingly not affected by Jiang Shizi's words before.He Yun breathed a sigh of relief, if Shen Ji was not comfortable because of this and was noticed by the princess, she would definitely ask herself.Mingming asked her to greet her well, but how could she let the guests feel offended.But he didn't expect Jiang Shizi to say that there.

Princess Lan beckoned and asked Shen Ji to go over, and Shen Ji stood up and walked over. She knew that it was the eldest princess who wanted to see her, so she said to her, "Greetings to the princess!"
