Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 190 You have to put out the fire

Arriving outside the second gate of Prince Qi's Mansion, she reluctantly sent Shen Xiniang off the carriage, "Xiniang..."

Her somewhat expectant eyes fell on Shen Xinniang, and she wanted to ask, but she felt that it was not the time yet. If she spoke too early, she would miss the opportunity. She had to wait, so she had to be patient.

"Thank you, Mrs. Gongsun." Shen Xinniang nodded to her.

Gongsun Lan also quickly returned the gift, "Thank you inappropriately, thank you inappropriately. Then I will leave, and Xinniang must tell me when she is free!"

She stepped back and climbed into the carriage again, lifted the curtains, looked at Shen Xinniang who stood there watching her, moved her lips, and finally only showed a smile.

"My lady, why don't you ask Miss Shen?" Gongsun Lan's maid asked.

Gongsun Lan shook her head, but said nothing.

Shen Xinniang returned to the main courtyard, but Fang Yan was unexpectedly at home.Smelling the fresh fragrance of lotus all over her body, he said with a half-smile: "Is the lotus pond at Gongsun's house pretty?"

Shen Xinniang nodded slightly.

Dan Xin was a little nervous, looked at Fang Yan's face, and said in a low voice: "The lady picked a lot of lotus pods and came back! I specifically asked Mrs. Gongsun to bring them back for the prince to enjoy!"

Fang Yan and Shen Xinniang both looked sideways at Dan Xin when they heard the words.

Dan Xin was nervous for a while, did she say something wrong?Why are the two masters looking at her with such frightening eyes?She, she should stop sticking around here!
"My lady... maidservant, maidservant to look at the lotus pods, don't let them store them improperly, it's a pity for such fresh and plump lotus pods!" Dan Xin said hastily.

Shen Xinniang nodded, "Tell them not to move, I will use it later."

"Yes." Dan Xin responded, and hurriedly withdrew.

"Is it really the lotus pod brought back for me?" Fang Yan looked at her with the corner of her mouth curled up.

"Lianpeng tofu, lotus pod three delicacies soup, lotus cake, lotus seed tremella soup, what do you like?" Shen Xinniang looked up at him.

"If you like lotus, there is also a pond in the backyard of the palace. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to dig the pond and plant lotus roots." Fang Yan said with a half-smile while holding her slightly cool hand.

"It's not that I like lotus." Shen Xinniang said, "It just happened to pick some lotus pods."

"Coincidentally?" Fang Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Picking lotus is just a coincidence, it's not that I brought it back specially." Shen Xinniang said, "I picked every lotus pod by myself."

Fang Yan held her hand in his palm and rubbed it lightly, "Then should I say, thank you for your hard work?"

"It's good that you know it in your heart, you don't need to talk about it." Shen Xinniang said calmly.

Fang Yan was silent for a moment, then hummed softly, "Could it be that if I don't ask, you don't intend to say, what did you do at Gongsun's house today?"

Shen Xinniang looked up at him, "What did I do?"

Looking at her flawless beauty, Fang Yan wanted to get angry, but he couldn't get angry, "You see Master Ziyang, can't you trust me? Can't you trust Lu Bei without him? ?”

Shen Xinniang held Fang Yan's hand instead, sat upright, and looked straight into his eyes, "Fang Yan, you don't let me see Master Ziyang, and don't let me use his weakness to attack Yu Tai's weakness, don't you trust me? ? Do you think I'm still impulsive and acting out of my temper?"

Her rhetorical question made him not know how to answer for a moment, the two of them looked at each other like this, neither of them had any anger in their words, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

"Or do you think that we should compete with each other like we did when we were young, and whoever wins will listen to who?" Shen Xinniang asked, with a hint of teasing in her words.

The atmosphere was not so tense, he hooked the corner of his mouth, "It's not that I don't believe you, I just don't want you to be in danger..."

There seemed to be some bitterness in his mouth, he is a man, these things should be his business, she just needs to hide under his wings, and wait for the result they want in peace.

"People can't be too selfish." Shen Xinniang said suddenly, "You said, I am not qualified to exclude you, so what qualifications do you have to take all the responsibilities I should bear? That is my master, my fellow disciple The enmity of the Chinese? Why do you decide whether I can take risks and contribute my strength?"

Fang Yan frowned at her.

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes and said: "I know you have a lot of reasons. It's for my own good, and the master is also for my good. You want me to be at ease, without having to carry the shackles..."

Shen Xinniang looked up at him while speaking, her black and white eyes were resolute, clear and moving, "But I am a human being, I have my own thoughts and feelings. It's not what you arrange for me, I have to accept what .”

Fang Yan moved his lips.

Shen Xinniang strengthened her grip on his hand, leaned her upper body slightly forward and approached him, and said, "So, to deal with Yu Tai and the Yu clan, between us, first get rid of those grievances, those who can't explain clearly." Emotions, trust each other, support each other, okay?"

Fang Yan saw her serious face, and there seemed to be a bit of persistent warmth in her always cold hands.

He stared into her eyes and saw his own reflection in her black and white eyes, "Okay, trust each other and support each other."

The corners of Shen Xinniang's mouth raised slightly, as if there was a faint smile blooming on her lips, but the curvature was not big enough, and it was a little stiff and cold.

"You have met Master Ziyang, did he agree?" Fang Yan asked gently.

Shen Xinniang shook her head, but said in her mouth: "He will agree, you are so angry, you should eat more lotus seeds, the heart of lotus seeds is slightly bitter, it is best to get rid of the anger."

Fang Yan chuckled, "There is Lao Xin'er!"

Shen Xinniang got up and walked out, but stopped suddenly at the door, and looked back at Fang Yan, "I saw that they are renovating and decorating the mansion, especially the main courtyard these days, you should know that it is not the time to start construction at this time When, what are you going to do?"

Fang Yan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, "Uh, there is no major construction work, just a little renovation, it doesn't take much trouble."

Shen Xinniang looked at him fixedly, the question she asked was clearly why he did this.But he talked about him from left to right, obviously prevarication.

"You don't want to say it?" Shen Xinniang asked.

Fang Yan lowered his eyes and smiled, but did not answer.

Shen Xinniang didn't get entangled in trivial matters, and said softly: "I think you need to eat more of lotus pod tofu, lotus pod three delicacies soup, lotus flower crisps, etc., just make a whole lotus feast."

Fang Yan watched her Pingting's figure disappear behind the curtain, and smiled softly.

Living in the main courtyard really has a lot of benefits, not only can you often taste the delicious food that she cooks, but the relationship between the two seems to be getting more and more tacit.It's just that although she didn't care about living in the main courtyard, he had to give her an explanation.

He had signed up the day before yesterday and wanted to make her a princess.The Holy Majesty will never disagree. Now that the palace is being renovated and the main courtyard is being refurbished, it is naturally for the purpose of strengthening her and giving her the title of princess.

Don't tell her now, lest she laugh at him for being worldly.Even if she was judged by her as worldly, he only wanted to give her the best.

"Come here," Fang Yan suddenly called out after Shen Xinniang had left for a while, "dig the pond in the backyard, plant more lotus roots, and ask Gongsun's family what kinds of lotus roots they have, and find more rare ones. It cannot be inferior to the lotus pond of Gongsun’s family.”

Fang Yan ordered his followers to say.

The entourage hurriedly bowed and said, the prince never cared about these things before, why did he change his preferences now?

Shen Xinniang's "Full Lotus Banquet" is not only delicious, but also a good product to cool off the heat.

The awkwardness in Fang Yan's heart has long been wiped away by the whole lotus feast, and there is a smile on his stern face.

It's just that Master Ziyang didn't have such good luck, Shen Xinniang's words echoed in her ears over and over again, and she was entangled in her heart over and over again.

I don't want to know why the disciples of the Hunyuan Sect in the past, why do they worship the Maoshan Shangqing Sect now?Keep calling other people's brothers?

Why did he turn his back on his teacher, why didn't he miss his past love?Was it because he saw that Huang Shuaiyin, who was so sincere in the past, was just a villain who coveted the world's glory and kitsch?Or is there something hidden in the middle that he doesn't know about?

No, no, he can't be led by the nose by Mrs. Shen, what she said just wanted to disturb his mood and make him entangled in mundane matters.Whatever the reason, what does it have to do with him now?He is devoted to cultivating the Tao, so why do he care about other people's affairs?
But every time I concentrate, sit cross-legged, meditate, and practice big and small circles, I can't restrain my impetuosity.Almost obsessed.

He even fasted for two days, except for clean water, no grains of rice, no grains, in order not to be polluted by turbid air, to remove impurities in the body, in order to purify his mind and concentrate his mind.

But it still doesn't work, Mrs. Shen's words are like a magic voice piercing her ears, and she can't get rid of them.

Master Ziyang tortured himself for a few days, and finally gave up. The obsession he couldn't let go could only move forward, and he couldn't escape.Taking advantage of the darkness, he wanted to sneak into Prince Qi's mansion and look for Mrs. Shen.But when he got closer, he discovered that the seemingly peaceful Prince Qi's Mansion was actually heavily guarded.Secret guards spy on the Quartet.I'm afraid it's not good to break in by mistake.

Now that you have decided to face the things you can't let go, move forward.Master Ziyang didn't back down, he couldn't sneak into the palace, so he simply wrote a letter himself and asked someone to hand it into the palace to Mrs. Shen.

He thought it would take a lot of trouble to deliver his letter to Shen Xinniang because Prince Qi was angry with him. He even wrote several letters in a row. Find another way to send it in.

He didn't know how open and honest they were after Shen Xiniang and Fang Yan talked that day.His letter was delivered to Shen Xinniang immediately and smoothly.

Within a day, a bottle of ointment with a faint fragrance and a brief reply letter were delivered to him.

In the letter, it was written that Prince Qi asked people to inquire about Lu Bei's whereabouts. Lu Bei was usually in the Yu Mansion on weekdays, but he would definitely come out every evening at dusk, and wandered leisurely to Mingxiangju in the West Market. , order a pot of Gu Zhuzi bamboo shoots, and ask a girl who sings a little song to come to the private room to drink tea and listen to the song.

The ointment with a faint fragrance in the brocade box is called Huayu Shengji ointment, which has a miraculous effect on Yu Tai's shoulder injury.General trauma can also be used, the effect is extraordinary.
