Chapter 89 One Eye Ten Thousand Years
Chapter 89
When the boat stopped, Shen Xing and Liu Yue went ashore first, and stretched out their hands to help Song Qinghuan.
Song Qinghuan stretched out her hand, took a step, and was about to step onto the shore when the boat suddenly swayed.She was unprepared and couldn't help but tilted her body.
Before Shen Xing and Liu Yue could support her, Shen Chuhan who was behind him already stretched out his hand quickly, and helped her waist, stabilizing her precarious figure.
Only then did Song Qinghuan stand firm.
Turning around, he smiled at Shen Chuhan and thanked him in a low voice.
Shen Chuhan also smiled back, and said lightly, "Emperor Ji, be careful." While speaking, he politely withdrew the hand resting on Song Qinghuan's waist.
She looked normal on the surface, but she lightly squeezed her slender waist with her fingers, flirting in front of everyone!
Song Qinghuan's ears turned red suddenly, she lowered her head, took advantage of Liuyue and Shen Xing's unpreparedness, and gave him a vicious look before going ashore.
Shen Chuhan followed her ashore, and a smile flashed across his mouth.
Mu Bai stared blankly at Shen Chuhan's face, and his heart beat more and more.
When I got ashore, I saw a lively scene everywhere.Many cargo ships are moored at the port, and the porters who come and go are constantly transporting goods to the ships, and they are very busy.
Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan opened their mouths, their hearts were smoother and clearer than ever before, and their mood also improved.Glancing at the porters, and then at Shen Chuhan and Mu Bai behind them, he became playful, and couldn't help pursing his lips and snickering.
Shen Chuhan raised his brows, and said unhurriedly, "What?"
Song Qing laughed more and more happily, "It's not against the peace for you to appear here. If you tie a white towel around your head, it will be more similar."
As he spoke, his eyes swept away not far away.
Shen Chuhan followed her gaze, and sure enough, he saw that the porters had tied white towels on their heads, probably for absorbing sweat, and they were all shirtless and dripping with sweat.
Shen Chuhan narrowed his Mo pupils slightly, and took a step forward calmly, blocking Song Qinghuan's sight.Then he curled his lips into a smile, but he wasn't annoyed, and nodded with a contented look, "It's not bad, I wonder how much money we can get if we move?"
Saying that, he looked at Mu Bai seriously, "What do you think, Mu Bai?"
Mu Bai was startled, and stared at Shen Chuhan with wide eyes, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears.Young master, is this... an answer to Di Ji's joke?
This, this, this... has the young master ever made a joke?Why have you ever accepted other people's jokes?
The sun really came out from the west.
Not only Mu Bai was taken aback, even Shen Xing and Liu Yue were surprised when they heard the words, they stared blankly at Shen Chuhan, not knowing what to think.
Although they didn't know Shen Chuhan as well as Mu Bai did, but they had heard and seen Shen Chuhan's cold temper a lot, why did Shen Xiang suddenly become gentle every time he confronted His Highness?
Could it be... There is really something between Prime Minister Shen and His Highness that they don't know about?
Not to mention these three people, it was Song Qinghuan himself, who did not expect that he would answer the conversation jokingly, glanced at Liu Yue and Shen Xing's suspicious expressions, the smile froze on his face, and coughed twice to cover up his uncomfortable expression , responded hastily, "Just kidding, Prime Minister Shen don't take it to heart."
As he spoke, he glanced at everyone, "Let's go." He took the lead and walked forward.
"That's right." Shen Chuhan caught up with her, "Now that we are away from home, since we are in micro-clothes, we should change the address of Shen Xiangdiji to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"That's right." Song Qinghuan agreed, looking at Liuyue and Shen Xing, "In the future, when you are outside, remember to call me Miss. If you are wearing men's clothes like today, then call me Young Master."
"Yes." The two agreed.
Not far away, a stone tablet standing on the right side of the road appeared in front of everyone, with the words "Wuyou Town" written on it.Looking forward, you can see the bustling streets not far away, so bustling.
"It's so lively!" Liu Yue beside him sighed.
"Wuyou Town belongs to Daxing County. Because the Lanjiang River flows outside the city, it is the most important water hub around Jian'an. It is under the direct jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture Governor. Moreover, Wuyou Town is rich in grain, and the grain produced is directly transported to all parts of the country through the Lanjiang River. , That's why it's so prosperous." Shen Xing said, grabbing the information of Wuyou Town at his fingertips.
The country of Yu was originally a country dominated by farming, so towns with developed agriculture naturally developed much better than other places.
Song Qinghuan glanced at her and smiled, "Shen Xing, it seems...you did a lot of homework beforehand."
Shen Xing smiled embarrassingly, "This way to Luocheng, the mountains are high and the water is far away, I think it's better to be fully prepared."
"Yes." Liu Yue interjected, glanced at Shen Chuhan and Mu Bai who were slightly behind, and said, "But...if you know that Prime Minister Shen...Young Master is also with us, you don't have to worry about it so much."
Shen Xing glanced at her, seeming to disagree, but didn't say much.
Soon, they entered the busy street they had just seen.The stone wall at the entrance of the street is engraved with three big characters "Fuxiang Street", which should be the name of this street.
Fuxiang Street seems to be the main road of the entire Wuyou Town, with other small streets and alleys extending around it, spreading out radially.
All kinds of shops, restaurants, and private houses are located on both sides of these streets and alleys.Extending further, there are some farmlands.
At this time, the sun was gradually setting, and it was almost noon.
Although it has entered autumn, the noon sun is still vicious.After not walking far, several people were sweating profusely, looking a little tired.
Song Qinghuan took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat. Seeing a shadow in front of him, he walked up and paused for a while, holding the brocade handkerchief in his hand and fanning it one after another.
Shen Chuhan took two steps forward, walked up to her and said, "It's almost noon, let's find a place to have lunch first."
Song Qinghuan was already hungry, so she nodded in agreement, looked around, pointed to a restaurant called "Drunk Fairy House" opposite, "That one looks good, why don't you just go there?"
"Okay, let's go."
Saying that, the two asked Shang Liuyue, Shen Xing and Mu Bai to follow behind, and walked towards Zuixianju, the two "Habayashi Army" were a little behind two steps, and followed behind vigilantly.
Arriving at Zuixianju, there were voices of persuasion and orders coming from far away. Looking around, I saw people in the lobby full of people, and there were no empty seats.
With such a good business, it seems that the food here must taste good.
Thinking about it this way, he became more angry, his brows brightened, and he quickened his pace.
Shen Chuhan beside him looked at her thoughtfully, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
After entering Zuixianju, Xiao Er rushed to greet them, nodded and bowed to them, "Guest officer, please, who are you?"
"Is there a private room?" Shen Chuhan glanced roughly, and saw that the lobby was full of strong men and the like, and there were only one or two vacant seats in the corner, so he couldn't help frowning, and asked Xiao Er.
Xiao Er saw that although he was dressed very plainly, just dressed like a commoner, but he had an extraordinary appearance and was the first to speak, so he didn't dare to neglect him.Glancing at the people behind him and Song Qinghuan, he said with a smile, "Unfortunately, guest officer, it's the peak time for dining, and the private room has already been booked."
Song Qinghuan was slightly surprised.
She didn't expect that such a small town had so many people?
However, looking at the people who were drinking and eating in the lobby, some of them were still carrying burdens, and it seemed that they were not locals, but just passing by.
Sure enough, it is the most prosperous water hub around Jian'an.
Song Qinghuan sighed inwardly, looked away, just in time to see Shen Chuhan looking at her, and said in a discussing tone, "My dear brother, there is no private room here, how about... let's go to another place?"
Because of this "virtuous brother", Song Qinghuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.Although I was hungry smelling the fragrance of food floating over, it was really inconvenient to sit in the lobby, just as I was about to agree, Xiao Er spoke again.
"Guest officer, it's the same when you go to other restaurants. There are a lot of customers in the town these days, and basically all the restaurants are full when it's time for dinner. In this way..."
He turned his eyes, glanced at Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan, and said after deliberation, "There is an elegant room upstairs that is half-separated by a curtain, but it is relatively small and can only accommodate two or three people. If it is convenient for you, May we sit separately?"
"Why are there so many people in the town these days?" Song Qinghuan asked curiously.
"These two days are the Sky Lantern Festival here, and it is very lively at night, so there are many guests from the surrounding towns."
Seeing that Song Qinghuan was listening intently, seeming very interested, Xiaoer explained in detail, "The guest officials are also foreigners, right? I don't know if the guest officials know that our Wuyou Town has a well-developed farming industry, and the grain produced every year has been taxed. , in addition to eating for ourselves, there is still a lot of surplus, which will be transported to other surrounding cities for sale. So farming is the foundation for us to support our family."
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to say with joy, "So, every year on October [-]th and [-]th, the year's farm work is almost busy, and we will hold a two-day Sky Lantern Festival. Cang pray for good weather in the coming year."
The so-called sky lanterns are Kongming lanterns.However, in the history here, the character Kong Ming has never appeared, so there is no such name.
"At night, in addition to flying sky lanterns, we can also go to the Lanjiang River to set off river lanterns. There are also many street performers performing on the street. Finally, when midnight comes, the government will send people to set off fireworks. It's really lively All night long!" Xiao Er said one by one, very proud.
After saying this, he glanced at Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan and said, "Why, didn't the guest officials come here for the Sky Lantern Festival?"
Song Qing laughed happily, "We just happened to pass by."
"If the guest officer is not in a hurry, you might as well stay here for one night before leaving. It's not a small boast. If you participate in the Sky Lantern Festival tonight, you will definitely not regret it."
"Thank you, let's think about it later." Song Qinghuan agreed. Right now, it's more important for her to think about how to fill her stomach first.
Looking at Shen Chuhan, "If this is the case, I'm afraid I might not be able to book a private room if I go to other places."
"Yeah, I really don't lie to you guys." Xiao Er quickly agreed.
"The elegant room you mentioned, is the environment elegant?" Shen Chuhan asked.
"Absolutely elegant." Xiaoer patted his chest to assure the ticket, "If the guest officer doesn't believe it, how about going upstairs to have a look at the younger ones before making any plans?"
Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan looked at each other, "Brother, why don't we go up and have a look first."
Song Qinghuan knew that he always paid attention to these details, pursed his lips, looked at Liu Yue and Shen Xing behind him, "You guys just wait here, brother Shen... and I will go up and have a look."
"Okay, please, two guest officers." Seeing that they agreed, Xiao Er hurriedly led the way.
Based on his many years of experience in seeing people, although the young man who spoke first was dressed plainly, his temperament and appearance were definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he must be either rich or noble.And the young man in the back, with delicate features and good looks, might be from a girl.
Such two people are naturally big customers, so they want to spare no effort to keep them.
After going up to the second floor, Song Qinghuan discovered that the Zuixianju was actually a three-story building, and there was another floor upstairs, which should be the private room.
And the second floor is a large and transparent room with windows on all sides, with delicate screens and bamboo curtains separating a dozen or so small cubicles, which can accommodate two or three people to sit down, which is quite unique.
What's more, the price of this second floor is naturally higher than that of the lobby, so the people eating here are not as mixed as downstairs. When the curtains are shaking, people can be seen faintly, but the conversations are all thin and not obvious. Noisy.
Xiao Er led them a few steps, opened the curtain of a compartment, looked at Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan and said, "This is it. Are the two guests satisfied?"
Song Qinghuan took a look, and saw a rosewood bench built in a five-foot-square space, with a simple pottery urn in one corner, and a few autumn chrysanthemums in the urn, facing the window, the window was half-closed, and there was a gentle breeze blowing. The other three sides are separated by screens and bamboo curtains, which is indeed elegant and quiet.
Shen Chuhan's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Song Qinghuan, "Why don't we just stay here, let Mu Bai and Liu Yue and Shen Xing be downstairs."
Song Qinghuan glanced at him, and seeing his expectant look, couldn't help laughing.
It's just that there is really nothing else to do at the moment, so he responded, "Okay, then I'll go downstairs and talk to them."
"Let me go, you rest here." Shen Chuhan smiled at her, motioned Xiaoer to stay here to greet Song Qinghuan, and went downstairs by himself.
Song Qinghuan took a seat and looked at Xiao Erdao, "What special dishes do you have here, tell me?"
After Xiao Er reported the names of more than a dozen dishes without panting, he looked at Song Qinghuan with a smile, "Do you want to listen to it again, guest officer?"
Song Qinghuan shook his head, ordered four or five dishes from memory, thought for a while, and then asked, "By the way, don't be too spicy."
Although she has a temper that doesn't like spicy food, Shen Chuhan can't take spicy food, so don't make things difficult for him.
After the words fell, the curtain was lifted, and Shen Chuhan's gentle voice came over, "It's okay, if it's spicy, it's spicy."
Xiaoer bowed and answered, "What would you two guest officers want to drink?"
"Tea……"
Before Song Qinghuan finished speaking, Shen Chuhan cut it off, "What kind of mild wine do you have here?"
"The rice wine that has just been brewed is mellow and delicious, and the wine is not strong. Would you like a pot?"
"Okay, let's do this first."
Xiaoer saluted, motioned for the two to wait for a while, and then backed out.
Shen Chuhan sat down opposite Song Qinghuan, and soon someone came in with tea.
Song Qinghuan poured two cups of tea, pushed one of them in front of Shen Chuhan, and said lightly, "Isn't it forbidden to eat spicy food? When did the taste change?"
Shen Chuhan took a sip, looked at her with shining eyes, "Ah Wan likes it, so I like it."
Song Qinghuan glanced at him, and chuckled, "Don't be brave, this is in a restaurant, if you are still as embarrassed as before..." Speaking of this, as if remembering something, she couldn't help laughing, "giggling".
In the previous life, since he was a cook who cooked meals on weekdays, he naturally knew Shen Chuhan's taste, so there were no mistakes.There was only one time when Song Qinghuan cooked for Shen Chuhan for the first time, without thinking of this layer, he added a lot of seasoned peppers according to his usual taste, and in the end, Shen Chuhan's seven orifices smoked, and he drank three or four pots of tea in a row before suppressing his body The burning feeling was the most embarrassing time she had ever seen him.
So far, when Song Qinghuan cooks for him again, he no longer dares to add too much pepper.
Just thinking about it, he gave Xiao Er a command, but Shen Chuhan refused without changing his face and heartbeat. Could it be that his ability to eat spicy food has improved?
Shen Chuhan only hooked the corners of his lips meaningfully, "Ah Wan, don't underestimate me, people will always improve, right?"
Seeing his confident expression, Song Qinghuan became even more overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Then I'll just wait and see."
Shen Chuhan just smiled, and suddenly stretched out his hand, holding her little hand that was touched just now, "But... Ah Wan still remembers my preferences, I am very happy."
Song Qinghuan was slightly startled, and hastily withdrew his hand, his eyes fluttered, and he glanced at him and said, "This is outside, you should restrain yourself."
"There are curtains all around, who can see it?" Shen Chuhan didn't take it seriously, there was a silhouette of pulse in his eyes, and he looked at Song Qinghuan without blinking.
He saw that Song Qinghuan was a bit shy, and stared at him, "You have to restrain yourself, what you said just now made Liuyue and Shen Xing suspicious, if you show your flaws again, you will definitely not be able to hide it from them .”
"Then just don't hide it." Shen Chuhan raised his lips and chuckled, his tone unhurried.
Song Qinghuan was lazy and drank tea by himself.
Shen Chuhan didn't give up, and leaned forward, "Ah Wan, when is she going to tell them about our affairs, otherwise, every time your two maidservants look at me, it's like guarding against thieves."
"Let's talk about it later." Song Qinghuan responded casually.
Now that Liu Yue and Shen Xing are by his side, Shen Chuhan's actions may be a little more restrained.If they also became insiders, with Shen Chuhan's temperament, they would be unscrupulous.
It's better to keep a low profile when you're away from home.
He asked again, "Are they settled?"
Shen Chuhan leaned back, and said listlessly, "They're downstairs, I'm afraid they're having a good time. Ah Wan really didn't tell them clearly?" Shen Chuhan went back to the topic just now, with a resentful expression on his face and water in his eyes Lianyan stared at Song Qinghuan without blinking.
Song Qinghuan was unmoved.
Shen Chuhan had no choice but to smile lightly, put away his expression, opened his lips and was about to speak again, when Xiao Er's voice sounded from outside the curtain.
"Guest officer, the dishes are here."
With Song Qinghuan's consent, Fang lifted the curtain and entered, and put the dishes in the tray on the table.Xiao Er walked two or three times, and all the dishes and drinks were served.
Xiao Erchao had a blessing with each other and exited the cubicle.
Shen Chuhan scalded the bamboo chopsticks carefully with tea before handing them to her, "Ah Wan, I know you're hungry, eat quickly."
Song Qinghuan took it and ate it with the delicious rice.
Although she grew up in the palace, she was not spoiled.Although these dishes are not as exquisite as those made by the Imperial Dining Room, they are still delicious and have a taste of home-cooked dishes.In addition, she was indeed hungry and ate with relish.
However, Shen Chuhan seemed to have a bit of a bad appetite, most of the time he just quietly watched Song Qinghuan eat, and occasionally picked up a chopstick or two of green vegetables.
Seeing him like this, Song Qinghuan frowned, "It's really not to your taste?" She looked at Shen Chuhan suspiciously, "It seems that these dishes are not too spicy?"
Putting down the chopsticks, he said considerately, "How about I ask Xiao Er to cook two more light dishes?"
"No need, I just don't have much appetite." Shen Chuhan shook his head, reached out to pour himself a glass of wine, and waved towards Song Qinghuan, "A Wan accompany me for a drink?"
"Are you really not hungry?" Song Qinghuan was a little worried.
Shen Chuhan smiled, "I'm not a child anymore, I'll eat if I'm hungry." Seeing that Song Qinghuan didn't answer his second sentence, and didn't ask any more questions, he directly poured a glass of wine and handed it over.
Song Qinghuan took a sip from the wine cup in his hand.
"If Ah Wan is not in a hurry, why not stay here tonight and leave tomorrow?" He looked at her with dark eyes.
Song Qinghuan was slightly taken aback.
When the little girl introduced the Sky Lantern Festival just now, although she was a little moved.But thinking that coming out this time is not really a tour, after all, he gave up the idea, but Shen Chuhan took the initiative to bring it up.
"Are you also interested in the Sky Lantern Festival?" She looked curious.
Shen Chuhan's eyes narrowed slightly, his long eyelashes drooped, and he smiled at her, "Yes."
Song Qinghuan thought about it, "Okay then, we'll stay here for one night." Apart from the reason for the Sky Lantern Festival, she also thought of a problem, Shen Chuhan must have rushed back when she heard the news that she was going to Chen Kingdom, Otherwise, it is impossible to just catch up.It must be very tiring on this journey, so it would be good to stay here for one night, so that he can have a good rest.
"However, according to what the little girl said just now, I'm afraid it's hard to book an inn. Let's finish eating quickly and go to the inn."
Shen Chuhan responded, "I'll let Mu Bai arrange it."
As he said that, he called Xiaoer in and asked him to invite Mu Bai.
Mu Bai quickly went upstairs, glanced at the posture of Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan sitting opposite each other, his eyes became deeper and deeper, he smiled and stepped forward to salute the two, and looked at Shen Chuhan, "What do you want, sir?"
Shen Chuhan told him about finding the inn.
Mu Bai agreed, and retreated again.
After eating, the two walked downstairs.
Liu Yue and Shen Xing had also finished their meal, seeing Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan coming downstairs, they greeted them.The two Habayashi soldiers were also there, but Mu Bai was nowhere to be seen.
"Are we waiting here?" Song Qinghuan looked at Shen Chuhan.
"No need, Mu Bai will be here soon."
After finishing speaking, I saw Mu Bai's figure appearing behind my mother. Seeing them standing together, I smiled and stepped forward, "My lord, everything has been arranged, and it's in the Yuelai Inn not far away. But the room is really tight. , only five rooms have been booked in total.”
"Okay." Song Qinghuan counted the number of people.
I and Shen Chuhan live in one room alone, Liu Yue and Shen Xing live in one room, the two "Hatherine Army" live in one room, and Mu Bai lives in one room alone, with this arrangement, five rooms are enough.
"My lord, are we staying here tonight?" Liu Yue was slightly surprised.
Song Qinghuan nodded, "Sleep overnight and leave tomorrow morning."
"That's great." Liu Yue jumped up and down, obviously also very interested in the Sky Lantern Festival.It's just that he quickly realized that the occasion was inappropriate, and hurriedly fell silent.
Mu Bai looked at her with great interest, and the corner of his mouth curved.
After they settled the bill, they went to Yuelai Inn.After a whole morning's journey, everyone was tired, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
Song Qinghuan didn't sleep well last night, at this time she finally touched her pillow, and after drinking some wine at noon, she soon fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she slept, but when she woke up in a daze, she found that the sky outside the window was full of red clouds.It turned out that before she knew it, she fell asleep until dusk!
He hurriedly got up and went to bed, changed his clothes, and just opened the door, he saw Shen Xing who was next door just came out.Seeing her open the door, her eyes lit up, "Your Highness is awake?"
Song Qinghuan responded and said embarrassedly, "I've slept."
Shen Xing smiled, "Your Highness will wait in the first room, and this servant will fetch water for you."
Soon, she fetched water and went into the room, and together with Liu Yue, she helped Song Qinghuan to wash up. Seeing that Song Qinghuan had changed into an elegant skirt, she tied a bun for her.
"What time is it?" Song Qinghuan stood up and glanced out the window.
But after a while, the setting sun set and the night gradually shrouded, leaving only a ray of orange afterglow in the sky with a little bit of light.
"It's time for you." Liu Yue said with a smile, "Mu Bai, who is beside Shen Xiang, came over just now, saying that Shen Xiang invited His Highness to watch the Sky Lantern Festival at night, will His Highness come down?"
Shen Xing, who was twisting the veil, paused and did not speak.
"Go." Song Qinghuan didn't think too much, and said casually, "I've come to Wuyou Town, how can I not watch the sky lanterns?"
Liu Yue's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her face was full of joy.On the other hand, Shen Xing's eyes were calm, unable to see what was in his heart.
"Liu Yue, send this water down." Shen Xing walked up to Liu Yue and handed her the copper basin in his hand.
Liuyue took it and went downstairs.
Song Qinghuan glanced at her, saw her walk to the door and closed it, with a thought, she walked to the table in the room and sat down, looking at Shen Xing leisurely.
Shen Xing closed the door, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Song Qinghuan's crystal clear eyes, and couldn't help being startled.
Song Qinghuan poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, looked at her with a smile and said, "Why, Shen Xing has something to say to me?"
Shen Xing pursed her lips, and there was a trace of panic in her eyes, as if she didn't expect Song Qinghuan to see through her thoughts.
There was a moment of silence, as if she had made up her mind, she walked up to Song Qinghuan and bowed, "Your Highness, I do not understand something."
"Let's talk." Compared to the lively and cheerful Liu Yue, Shen Xing has a more calm and delicate temperament, and observes things more carefully.She probably knew what Shen Xing wanted to ask.
"Your Highness..." After hesitating for a moment, Shen Xing finally opened his mouth, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Shen...does he like you?"
Song Qinghuan lightly moved the tea leaves in the cup for a while, and a deep mist floated in his eyes, and he raised his head to look at Shen Xing.She thought about what Shen Xing would find out, but she didn't expect it so soon.
She did not speak.
However, Shen Xing understood in an instant, startled, stammered and asked again, "Then...Could it be that Prime Minister Shen came here specially for His Highness?"
Song Qinghuan pursed her lips, decided not to lie to them, took a deep breath, "Wait for Liuyue to come back."
Is this to clarify with them?
Shen Xing became a little nervous for no reason.
Although Shen Xiang's reputation outside is not good, being cold, cruel, heartless, etc., but she saw that Shen Xiangxiang was extremely caring about His Highness.This time she had clearly returned to the country, but she hurried back to go to Chen country with Di Ji, if it was not because she liked it, she couldn't think of any other reason.
Doubts were held in my heart for a long time, but I still couldn't help asking.
Liu Yue quickly went upstairs, opened the door and came in, seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, she couldn't help being taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Xing glanced at her, and coughed, "Just now I asked Your Highness, did Prime Minister Shen rush back here specially for her."
Liu Yue was startled for a moment, then came to understand, glanced at the light in Song Qinghuan's eyes, suddenly seemed frightened, and stammered, "Your Highness, Shen Xianghe...he doesn't really like you, does he?"
Well, usually I don't think that Shen Chuhan is such a person who can't hide things, how come the two girls are aware of it this time?
The two of them asked so directly, how shy were they, their porcelain-white cheeks were stained with a hint of rouge.
Seeing her expression, Liu Yue and Shen Xing didn't understand anything, they both opened their mouths wide, and looked at Song Qinghuan in amazement, "It's...it's true?!"
Song Qinghuan smiled embarrassingly, "Master Chen really has something important to do when he goes to Chen Country this time. He just heard that we are going too, so he hurried over to meet up, even I... in the drum."
Although she wanted to talk to Liu Yue and Shen Xing Daoming, but looking at their gleaming eyes, she was still embarrassed and only responded vaguely.
Fortunately, both of them are human beings. After a moment of surprise, they quickly reacted.
"This is really great!" Liu Yue cheered.
Song Qinghuan looked at her puzzled.
Could it be that these two little girls are very satisfied with Shen Chuhan?
"Shen Xiang is a strong man, and only a strong man can make your life better." Liu Yue looked at her, word by word.
Song Qinghuan couldn't help laughing, these two girls are really pure-hearted.
Although Song Qinghuan has faintly won Emperor Yu's favor in the past few years, in the eyes of Liu Yue and Shen Xing, without the strong support of her mother's family, there is nothing fundamental.The emperor's heart is impermanent, in case His Highness has other thoughts one day.Although Aunt Chongjin has Mrs. Qingxuan's power in her hands, it is not enough to compete with the entire royal family.
The matter of Liangguo getting married earlier made the two of them break into a cold sweat.If there is no strategizing by His Highness, then the person who will marry the moody Emperor Liang would not be Anyang Emperor Ji, but His Highness.
Although the predicament of the marriage was resolved, the two began to worry about the choice of Song Qinghuan's son-in-law.
She has reached the age of marriage, and soon, the emperor will start to look at the candidates for His Royal Highness.But the Empress and Pingyang Emperor Ji have always disliked His Highness, and she will definitely not let His Highness recruit a good consort.Thinking of this, I became more and more worried.
Unexpectedly, what they had been worrying about for a long time was solved in this way!Why are you unhappy?
Shen Xiangke was much, much better than the consort they expected in their hearts.Even those bad-tempered rumors were self-defeating after seeing Shen Xiangxiang's attitude towards His Highness.No matter how he treats others, he is really good to His Highness, that's enough.
Song Qinghuan didn't expect the two little girls to think so much behind their backs, but after hearing Liuyue's words, they were moved and laughed a little.
She looked at them and said solemnly, "Xiang Chen is a strong man, but we also need to become strong so that we can stand beside him neither humble nor overbearing."
Liu Yue nodded ignorantly, a dark light flashed in Shen Xing's eyes, he looked at Song Qinghuan and nodded solemnly, "I understand!"
Song Qing smiled happily and didn't say much.
No matter how much she said, she couldn't match her actions.
Thinking of another thing, he looked at the two of them, "Although I told you about this matter, but...you just don't know it when you are outside."
"Why?" Liu Yue was puzzled.
"Liang Yu and Yu have just married. At this time, it's inappropriate to tell about the matter between me and Prime Minister Shen."
"What about in front of Prime Minister Shen?" Liu Yue asked again.
Song Qinghuan paused, "In front of Prime Minister Shen, I just pretended not to know."
Liu Yue wanted to ask again, but Shen Xing grabbed her sleeves, signaling her not to ask any more, Liu Yue glared at her, and gave up resentfully.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Mu Bai's voice came, "Your Highness, are you up?" His voice was not loud, and the surrounding rooms were reserved by them, so he did not change his words.
Song Qinghuan responded and signaled Liuyue to open the door.
Liu Yue opened the door, looked at Mu Bai and smiled.
Originally, she still had some dislike for Mu Bai, after all, he was the one who threatened His Highness.But after hearing what His Highness said just now, he immediately regarded Shen Chuhan as half a master in his heart, and even had a good face towards Mu Bai.
Mu Bai was slightly startled, looked at her suspiciously, and then turned his gaze away.
"Your Highness, Young Master invites you to go down for dinner, saying that we will go for a walk together after dinner."
"Okay. I'll go down soon." Song Qinghuan agreed, thanked Mu Bai, and went downstairs after tidying up.
Shen Chuhan also changed out of the coarse cloth clothes he wore during the day, and wore a brocade white robe with an ink painting of wind and lotuses embroidered on the hem.
Those deep and cold eyes looked straight at Song Qinghuan through the crowd, and the eyes were suddenly filled with warmth.
In a trance, thinking of the scene when we first met in the previous life, my heart beats stagnantly.
A thousand years at a glance.
Really ten thousand years.
Song Qinghuan went down the stairs, walked up to Shen Chuhan, and saw that the table was already full of delicacies.
Shen Chuhan smiled, "I ordered some casually, ah...you eat some too, we'll go out and have a look later."
Song Qinghuan agreed, and sat down with Shen Chuhan.
Just as he was about to look at Liuyue and Shen Xing, Shen Chuhan said again, "I ordered someone to open another table over there, so Liuyue and Shen Xing can eat with Mu Bai."
Several people agreed, walked to another table and sat down.
Seeing that Shen Chuhan had somehow eaten, Song Qinghuan felt relieved.But for some reason, I always feel that his complexion is a little tired, and the clarity in his eyes seems to be covered with a layer of dust.
Song Qinghuan only thought that he was really tired, but when he thought that he was so tired because of himself, he felt a little distressed, picked up chopsticks and put a lot of food into Shen Chuhan's bowl.
Shen Chuhan, who had already put down his chopsticks, ate some more when he saw this.
It was a warm and harmonious meal.
After eating, several people walked to the street.
At this time, the night had completely darkened, and the twilight was all together, and there was a round of clear moon hanging in the dark blue sky, which was as big as a disc and exuded a bright and clear brilliance.
At noon, the little girl really didn't lie, the street was already brightly lit, people were coming and going, and there was a lot of people's voices everywhere.
The stalls on both sides of the street are full of colorful lanterns and various interesting gadgets.Although Song Qinghuan lived two lifetimes, he seldom left the palace. Seeing this bustling scene, his eyes lit up, looking here and there, happily like a bird out of its cage.
Not only Song Qinghuan, Liu Yue and Shen Xing also lingered, following her around, the three of them laughed together from time to time.
At this time, Song Qinghuan came over with a lantern in the shape of a rabbit, waved it in front of him, and said with a smile, "Does this look good?"
Shen Chuhan nodded, but all his eyes fell on Song Qinghuan's face.
As the lights drifted away, her eyes were full of light, which made it hard to miss.Because of walking in a hurry, the skin was covered with crystal-clear sweat, making her look even more delicate and charming.
Seeing that he only looked at himself but not at the lantern in his hand, Song Qinghuan pouted, glared at her, took the lantern and went back to the shop to pick it out.
It was rare to see Song Qinghuan with such a childish appearance, Shen Chuhan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips.Just as she was about to step up to keep up, her steps suddenly stopped, her sharp brows furrowed, her eyes revealed a hint of pain, and her lips turned pale.
Mu Bai, who was behind him, was startled, and hurried forward to support him, his brows and eyes were full of worry, and his voice was tense and tense, "My lord, could it be earlier this time? This subordinate should help you back first."
"No need." Shen Chu refused in a cold voice, raised his hand to brush away his support, moved slightly, suppressed the pain on his face, raised his eyes to see Song Qinghuan's bright figure in front of him, and quickened his pace to follow.
Hahaha, it's finally a day earlier, maybe I also like this kind of sweet concubine in the dark? 【Feeling good about myself】
(End of this chapter)
When the boat stopped, Shen Xing and Liu Yue went ashore first, and stretched out their hands to help Song Qinghuan.
Song Qinghuan stretched out her hand, took a step, and was about to step onto the shore when the boat suddenly swayed.She was unprepared and couldn't help but tilted her body.
Before Shen Xing and Liu Yue could support her, Shen Chuhan who was behind him already stretched out his hand quickly, and helped her waist, stabilizing her precarious figure.
Only then did Song Qinghuan stand firm.
Turning around, he smiled at Shen Chuhan and thanked him in a low voice.
Shen Chuhan also smiled back, and said lightly, "Emperor Ji, be careful." While speaking, he politely withdrew the hand resting on Song Qinghuan's waist.
She looked normal on the surface, but she lightly squeezed her slender waist with her fingers, flirting in front of everyone!
Song Qinghuan's ears turned red suddenly, she lowered her head, took advantage of Liuyue and Shen Xing's unpreparedness, and gave him a vicious look before going ashore.
Shen Chuhan followed her ashore, and a smile flashed across his mouth.
Mu Bai stared blankly at Shen Chuhan's face, and his heart beat more and more.
When I got ashore, I saw a lively scene everywhere.Many cargo ships are moored at the port, and the porters who come and go are constantly transporting goods to the ships, and they are very busy.
Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan opened their mouths, their hearts were smoother and clearer than ever before, and their mood also improved.Glancing at the porters, and then at Shen Chuhan and Mu Bai behind them, he became playful, and couldn't help pursing his lips and snickering.
Shen Chuhan raised his brows, and said unhurriedly, "What?"
Song Qing laughed more and more happily, "It's not against the peace for you to appear here. If you tie a white towel around your head, it will be more similar."
As he spoke, his eyes swept away not far away.
Shen Chuhan followed her gaze, and sure enough, he saw that the porters had tied white towels on their heads, probably for absorbing sweat, and they were all shirtless and dripping with sweat.
Shen Chuhan narrowed his Mo pupils slightly, and took a step forward calmly, blocking Song Qinghuan's sight.Then he curled his lips into a smile, but he wasn't annoyed, and nodded with a contented look, "It's not bad, I wonder how much money we can get if we move?"
Saying that, he looked at Mu Bai seriously, "What do you think, Mu Bai?"
Mu Bai was startled, and stared at Shen Chuhan with wide eyes, thinking that there was something wrong with his ears.Young master, is this... an answer to Di Ji's joke?
This, this, this... has the young master ever made a joke?Why have you ever accepted other people's jokes?
The sun really came out from the west.
Not only Mu Bai was taken aback, even Shen Xing and Liu Yue were surprised when they heard the words, they stared blankly at Shen Chuhan, not knowing what to think.
Although they didn't know Shen Chuhan as well as Mu Bai did, but they had heard and seen Shen Chuhan's cold temper a lot, why did Shen Xiang suddenly become gentle every time he confronted His Highness?
Could it be... There is really something between Prime Minister Shen and His Highness that they don't know about?
Not to mention these three people, it was Song Qinghuan himself, who did not expect that he would answer the conversation jokingly, glanced at Liu Yue and Shen Xing's suspicious expressions, the smile froze on his face, and coughed twice to cover up his uncomfortable expression , responded hastily, "Just kidding, Prime Minister Shen don't take it to heart."
As he spoke, he glanced at everyone, "Let's go." He took the lead and walked forward.
"That's right." Shen Chuhan caught up with her, "Now that we are away from home, since we are in micro-clothes, we should change the address of Shen Xiangdiji to avoid unnecessary trouble."
"That's right." Song Qinghuan agreed, looking at Liuyue and Shen Xing, "In the future, when you are outside, remember to call me Miss. If you are wearing men's clothes like today, then call me Young Master."
"Yes." The two agreed.
Not far away, a stone tablet standing on the right side of the road appeared in front of everyone, with the words "Wuyou Town" written on it.Looking forward, you can see the bustling streets not far away, so bustling.
"It's so lively!" Liu Yue beside him sighed.
"Wuyou Town belongs to Daxing County. Because the Lanjiang River flows outside the city, it is the most important water hub around Jian'an. It is under the direct jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture Governor. Moreover, Wuyou Town is rich in grain, and the grain produced is directly transported to all parts of the country through the Lanjiang River. , That's why it's so prosperous." Shen Xing said, grabbing the information of Wuyou Town at his fingertips.
The country of Yu was originally a country dominated by farming, so towns with developed agriculture naturally developed much better than other places.
Song Qinghuan glanced at her and smiled, "Shen Xing, it seems...you did a lot of homework beforehand."
Shen Xing smiled embarrassingly, "This way to Luocheng, the mountains are high and the water is far away, I think it's better to be fully prepared."
"Yes." Liu Yue interjected, glanced at Shen Chuhan and Mu Bai who were slightly behind, and said, "But...if you know that Prime Minister Shen...Young Master is also with us, you don't have to worry about it so much."
Shen Xing glanced at her, seeming to disagree, but didn't say much.
Soon, they entered the busy street they had just seen.The stone wall at the entrance of the street is engraved with three big characters "Fuxiang Street", which should be the name of this street.
Fuxiang Street seems to be the main road of the entire Wuyou Town, with other small streets and alleys extending around it, spreading out radially.
All kinds of shops, restaurants, and private houses are located on both sides of these streets and alleys.Extending further, there are some farmlands.
At this time, the sun was gradually setting, and it was almost noon.
Although it has entered autumn, the noon sun is still vicious.After not walking far, several people were sweating profusely, looking a little tired.
Song Qinghuan took out his handkerchief and wiped his sweat. Seeing a shadow in front of him, he walked up and paused for a while, holding the brocade handkerchief in his hand and fanning it one after another.
Shen Chuhan took two steps forward, walked up to her and said, "It's almost noon, let's find a place to have lunch first."
Song Qinghuan was already hungry, so she nodded in agreement, looked around, pointed to a restaurant called "Drunk Fairy House" opposite, "That one looks good, why don't you just go there?"
"Okay, let's go."
Saying that, the two asked Shang Liuyue, Shen Xing and Mu Bai to follow behind, and walked towards Zuixianju, the two "Habayashi Army" were a little behind two steps, and followed behind vigilantly.
Arriving at Zuixianju, there were voices of persuasion and orders coming from far away. Looking around, I saw people in the lobby full of people, and there were no empty seats.
With such a good business, it seems that the food here must taste good.
Thinking about it this way, he became more angry, his brows brightened, and he quickened his pace.
Shen Chuhan beside him looked at her thoughtfully, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
After entering Zuixianju, Xiao Er rushed to greet them, nodded and bowed to them, "Guest officer, please, who are you?"
"Is there a private room?" Shen Chuhan glanced roughly, and saw that the lobby was full of strong men and the like, and there were only one or two vacant seats in the corner, so he couldn't help frowning, and asked Xiao Er.
Xiao Er saw that although he was dressed very plainly, just dressed like a commoner, but he had an extraordinary appearance and was the first to speak, so he didn't dare to neglect him.Glancing at the people behind him and Song Qinghuan, he said with a smile, "Unfortunately, guest officer, it's the peak time for dining, and the private room has already been booked."
Song Qinghuan was slightly surprised.
She didn't expect that such a small town had so many people?
However, looking at the people who were drinking and eating in the lobby, some of them were still carrying burdens, and it seemed that they were not locals, but just passing by.
Sure enough, it is the most prosperous water hub around Jian'an.
Song Qinghuan sighed inwardly, looked away, just in time to see Shen Chuhan looking at her, and said in a discussing tone, "My dear brother, there is no private room here, how about... let's go to another place?"
Because of this "virtuous brother", Song Qinghuan couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.Although I was hungry smelling the fragrance of food floating over, it was really inconvenient to sit in the lobby, just as I was about to agree, Xiao Er spoke again.
"Guest officer, it's the same when you go to other restaurants. There are a lot of customers in the town these days, and basically all the restaurants are full when it's time for dinner. In this way..."
He turned his eyes, glanced at Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan, and said after deliberation, "There is an elegant room upstairs that is half-separated by a curtain, but it is relatively small and can only accommodate two or three people. If it is convenient for you, May we sit separately?"
"Why are there so many people in the town these days?" Song Qinghuan asked curiously.
"These two days are the Sky Lantern Festival here, and it is very lively at night, so there are many guests from the surrounding towns."
Seeing that Song Qinghuan was listening intently, seeming very interested, Xiaoer explained in detail, "The guest officials are also foreigners, right? I don't know if the guest officials know that our Wuyou Town has a well-developed farming industry, and the grain produced every year has been taxed. , in addition to eating for ourselves, there is still a lot of surplus, which will be transported to other surrounding cities for sale. So farming is the foundation for us to support our family."
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued to say with joy, "So, every year on October [-]th and [-]th, the year's farm work is almost busy, and we will hold a two-day Sky Lantern Festival. Cang pray for good weather in the coming year."
The so-called sky lanterns are Kongming lanterns.However, in the history here, the character Kong Ming has never appeared, so there is no such name.
"At night, in addition to flying sky lanterns, we can also go to the Lanjiang River to set off river lanterns. There are also many street performers performing on the street. Finally, when midnight comes, the government will send people to set off fireworks. It's really lively All night long!" Xiao Er said one by one, very proud.
After saying this, he glanced at Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan and said, "Why, didn't the guest officials come here for the Sky Lantern Festival?"
Song Qing laughed happily, "We just happened to pass by."
"If the guest officer is not in a hurry, you might as well stay here for one night before leaving. It's not a small boast. If you participate in the Sky Lantern Festival tonight, you will definitely not regret it."
"Thank you, let's think about it later." Song Qinghuan agreed. Right now, it's more important for her to think about how to fill her stomach first.
Looking at Shen Chuhan, "If this is the case, I'm afraid I might not be able to book a private room if I go to other places."
"Yeah, I really don't lie to you guys." Xiao Er quickly agreed.
"The elegant room you mentioned, is the environment elegant?" Shen Chuhan asked.
"Absolutely elegant." Xiaoer patted his chest to assure the ticket, "If the guest officer doesn't believe it, how about going upstairs to have a look at the younger ones before making any plans?"
Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan looked at each other, "Brother, why don't we go up and have a look first."
Song Qinghuan knew that he always paid attention to these details, pursed his lips, looked at Liu Yue and Shen Xing behind him, "You guys just wait here, brother Shen... and I will go up and have a look."
"Okay, please, two guest officers." Seeing that they agreed, Xiao Er hurriedly led the way.
Based on his many years of experience in seeing people, although the young man who spoke first was dressed plainly, his temperament and appearance were definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people, and he must be either rich or noble.And the young man in the back, with delicate features and good looks, might be from a girl.
Such two people are naturally big customers, so they want to spare no effort to keep them.
After going up to the second floor, Song Qinghuan discovered that the Zuixianju was actually a three-story building, and there was another floor upstairs, which should be the private room.
And the second floor is a large and transparent room with windows on all sides, with delicate screens and bamboo curtains separating a dozen or so small cubicles, which can accommodate two or three people to sit down, which is quite unique.
What's more, the price of this second floor is naturally higher than that of the lobby, so the people eating here are not as mixed as downstairs. When the curtains are shaking, people can be seen faintly, but the conversations are all thin and not obvious. Noisy.
Xiao Er led them a few steps, opened the curtain of a compartment, looked at Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan and said, "This is it. Are the two guests satisfied?"
Song Qinghuan took a look, and saw a rosewood bench built in a five-foot-square space, with a simple pottery urn in one corner, and a few autumn chrysanthemums in the urn, facing the window, the window was half-closed, and there was a gentle breeze blowing. The other three sides are separated by screens and bamboo curtains, which is indeed elegant and quiet.
Shen Chuhan's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at Song Qinghuan, "Why don't we just stay here, let Mu Bai and Liu Yue and Shen Xing be downstairs."
Song Qinghuan glanced at him, and seeing his expectant look, couldn't help laughing.
It's just that there is really nothing else to do at the moment, so he responded, "Okay, then I'll go downstairs and talk to them."
"Let me go, you rest here." Shen Chuhan smiled at her, motioned Xiaoer to stay here to greet Song Qinghuan, and went downstairs by himself.
Song Qinghuan took a seat and looked at Xiao Erdao, "What special dishes do you have here, tell me?"
After Xiao Er reported the names of more than a dozen dishes without panting, he looked at Song Qinghuan with a smile, "Do you want to listen to it again, guest officer?"
Song Qinghuan shook his head, ordered four or five dishes from memory, thought for a while, and then asked, "By the way, don't be too spicy."
Although she has a temper that doesn't like spicy food, Shen Chuhan can't take spicy food, so don't make things difficult for him.
After the words fell, the curtain was lifted, and Shen Chuhan's gentle voice came over, "It's okay, if it's spicy, it's spicy."
Xiaoer bowed and answered, "What would you two guest officers want to drink?"
"Tea……"
Before Song Qinghuan finished speaking, Shen Chuhan cut it off, "What kind of mild wine do you have here?"
"The rice wine that has just been brewed is mellow and delicious, and the wine is not strong. Would you like a pot?"
"Okay, let's do this first."
Xiaoer saluted, motioned for the two to wait for a while, and then backed out.
Shen Chuhan sat down opposite Song Qinghuan, and soon someone came in with tea.
Song Qinghuan poured two cups of tea, pushed one of them in front of Shen Chuhan, and said lightly, "Isn't it forbidden to eat spicy food? When did the taste change?"
Shen Chuhan took a sip, looked at her with shining eyes, "Ah Wan likes it, so I like it."
Song Qinghuan glanced at him, and chuckled, "Don't be brave, this is in a restaurant, if you are still as embarrassed as before..." Speaking of this, as if remembering something, she couldn't help laughing, "giggling".
In the previous life, since he was a cook who cooked meals on weekdays, he naturally knew Shen Chuhan's taste, so there were no mistakes.There was only one time when Song Qinghuan cooked for Shen Chuhan for the first time, without thinking of this layer, he added a lot of seasoned peppers according to his usual taste, and in the end, Shen Chuhan's seven orifices smoked, and he drank three or four pots of tea in a row before suppressing his body The burning feeling was the most embarrassing time she had ever seen him.
So far, when Song Qinghuan cooks for him again, he no longer dares to add too much pepper.
Just thinking about it, he gave Xiao Er a command, but Shen Chuhan refused without changing his face and heartbeat. Could it be that his ability to eat spicy food has improved?
Shen Chuhan only hooked the corners of his lips meaningfully, "Ah Wan, don't underestimate me, people will always improve, right?"
Seeing his confident expression, Song Qinghuan became even more overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Then I'll just wait and see."
Shen Chuhan just smiled, and suddenly stretched out his hand, holding her little hand that was touched just now, "But... Ah Wan still remembers my preferences, I am very happy."
Song Qinghuan was slightly startled, and hastily withdrew his hand, his eyes fluttered, and he glanced at him and said, "This is outside, you should restrain yourself."
"There are curtains all around, who can see it?" Shen Chuhan didn't take it seriously, there was a silhouette of pulse in his eyes, and he looked at Song Qinghuan without blinking.
He saw that Song Qinghuan was a bit shy, and stared at him, "You have to restrain yourself, what you said just now made Liuyue and Shen Xing suspicious, if you show your flaws again, you will definitely not be able to hide it from them .”
"Then just don't hide it." Shen Chuhan raised his lips and chuckled, his tone unhurried.
Song Qinghuan was lazy and drank tea by himself.
Shen Chuhan didn't give up, and leaned forward, "Ah Wan, when is she going to tell them about our affairs, otherwise, every time your two maidservants look at me, it's like guarding against thieves."
"Let's talk about it later." Song Qinghuan responded casually.
Now that Liu Yue and Shen Xing are by his side, Shen Chuhan's actions may be a little more restrained.If they also became insiders, with Shen Chuhan's temperament, they would be unscrupulous.
It's better to keep a low profile when you're away from home.
He asked again, "Are they settled?"
Shen Chuhan leaned back, and said listlessly, "They're downstairs, I'm afraid they're having a good time. Ah Wan really didn't tell them clearly?" Shen Chuhan went back to the topic just now, with a resentful expression on his face and water in his eyes Lianyan stared at Song Qinghuan without blinking.
Song Qinghuan was unmoved.
Shen Chuhan had no choice but to smile lightly, put away his expression, opened his lips and was about to speak again, when Xiao Er's voice sounded from outside the curtain.
"Guest officer, the dishes are here."
With Song Qinghuan's consent, Fang lifted the curtain and entered, and put the dishes in the tray on the table.Xiao Er walked two or three times, and all the dishes and drinks were served.
Xiao Erchao had a blessing with each other and exited the cubicle.
Shen Chuhan scalded the bamboo chopsticks carefully with tea before handing them to her, "Ah Wan, I know you're hungry, eat quickly."
Song Qinghuan took it and ate it with the delicious rice.
Although she grew up in the palace, she was not spoiled.Although these dishes are not as exquisite as those made by the Imperial Dining Room, they are still delicious and have a taste of home-cooked dishes.In addition, she was indeed hungry and ate with relish.
However, Shen Chuhan seemed to have a bit of a bad appetite, most of the time he just quietly watched Song Qinghuan eat, and occasionally picked up a chopstick or two of green vegetables.
Seeing him like this, Song Qinghuan frowned, "It's really not to your taste?" She looked at Shen Chuhan suspiciously, "It seems that these dishes are not too spicy?"
Putting down the chopsticks, he said considerately, "How about I ask Xiao Er to cook two more light dishes?"
"No need, I just don't have much appetite." Shen Chuhan shook his head, reached out to pour himself a glass of wine, and waved towards Song Qinghuan, "A Wan accompany me for a drink?"
"Are you really not hungry?" Song Qinghuan was a little worried.
Shen Chuhan smiled, "I'm not a child anymore, I'll eat if I'm hungry." Seeing that Song Qinghuan didn't answer his second sentence, and didn't ask any more questions, he directly poured a glass of wine and handed it over.
Song Qinghuan took a sip from the wine cup in his hand.
"If Ah Wan is not in a hurry, why not stay here tonight and leave tomorrow?" He looked at her with dark eyes.
Song Qinghuan was slightly taken aback.
When the little girl introduced the Sky Lantern Festival just now, although she was a little moved.But thinking that coming out this time is not really a tour, after all, he gave up the idea, but Shen Chuhan took the initiative to bring it up.
"Are you also interested in the Sky Lantern Festival?" She looked curious.
Shen Chuhan's eyes narrowed slightly, his long eyelashes drooped, and he smiled at her, "Yes."
Song Qinghuan thought about it, "Okay then, we'll stay here for one night." Apart from the reason for the Sky Lantern Festival, she also thought of a problem, Shen Chuhan must have rushed back when she heard the news that she was going to Chen Kingdom, Otherwise, it is impossible to just catch up.It must be very tiring on this journey, so it would be good to stay here for one night, so that he can have a good rest.
"However, according to what the little girl said just now, I'm afraid it's hard to book an inn. Let's finish eating quickly and go to the inn."
Shen Chuhan responded, "I'll let Mu Bai arrange it."
As he said that, he called Xiaoer in and asked him to invite Mu Bai.
Mu Bai quickly went upstairs, glanced at the posture of Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan sitting opposite each other, his eyes became deeper and deeper, he smiled and stepped forward to salute the two, and looked at Shen Chuhan, "What do you want, sir?"
Shen Chuhan told him about finding the inn.
Mu Bai agreed, and retreated again.
After eating, the two walked downstairs.
Liu Yue and Shen Xing had also finished their meal, seeing Song Qinghuan and Shen Chuhan coming downstairs, they greeted them.The two Habayashi soldiers were also there, but Mu Bai was nowhere to be seen.
"Are we waiting here?" Song Qinghuan looked at Shen Chuhan.
"No need, Mu Bai will be here soon."
After finishing speaking, I saw Mu Bai's figure appearing behind my mother. Seeing them standing together, I smiled and stepped forward, "My lord, everything has been arranged, and it's in the Yuelai Inn not far away. But the room is really tight. , only five rooms have been booked in total.”
"Okay." Song Qinghuan counted the number of people.
I and Shen Chuhan live in one room alone, Liu Yue and Shen Xing live in one room, the two "Hatherine Army" live in one room, and Mu Bai lives in one room alone, with this arrangement, five rooms are enough.
"My lord, are we staying here tonight?" Liu Yue was slightly surprised.
Song Qinghuan nodded, "Sleep overnight and leave tomorrow morning."
"That's great." Liu Yue jumped up and down, obviously also very interested in the Sky Lantern Festival.It's just that he quickly realized that the occasion was inappropriate, and hurriedly fell silent.
Mu Bai looked at her with great interest, and the corner of his mouth curved.
After they settled the bill, they went to Yuelai Inn.After a whole morning's journey, everyone was tired, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
Song Qinghuan didn't sleep well last night, at this time she finally touched her pillow, and after drinking some wine at noon, she soon fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she slept, but when she woke up in a daze, she found that the sky outside the window was full of red clouds.It turned out that before she knew it, she fell asleep until dusk!
He hurriedly got up and went to bed, changed his clothes, and just opened the door, he saw Shen Xing who was next door just came out.Seeing her open the door, her eyes lit up, "Your Highness is awake?"
Song Qinghuan responded and said embarrassedly, "I've slept."
Shen Xing smiled, "Your Highness will wait in the first room, and this servant will fetch water for you."
Soon, she fetched water and went into the room, and together with Liu Yue, she helped Song Qinghuan to wash up. Seeing that Song Qinghuan had changed into an elegant skirt, she tied a bun for her.
"What time is it?" Song Qinghuan stood up and glanced out the window.
But after a while, the setting sun set and the night gradually shrouded, leaving only a ray of orange afterglow in the sky with a little bit of light.
"It's time for you." Liu Yue said with a smile, "Mu Bai, who is beside Shen Xiang, came over just now, saying that Shen Xiang invited His Highness to watch the Sky Lantern Festival at night, will His Highness come down?"
Shen Xing, who was twisting the veil, paused and did not speak.
"Go." Song Qinghuan didn't think too much, and said casually, "I've come to Wuyou Town, how can I not watch the sky lanterns?"
Liu Yue's eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her face was full of joy.On the other hand, Shen Xing's eyes were calm, unable to see what was in his heart.
"Liu Yue, send this water down." Shen Xing walked up to Liu Yue and handed her the copper basin in his hand.
Liuyue took it and went downstairs.
Song Qinghuan glanced at her, saw her walk to the door and closed it, with a thought, she walked to the table in the room and sat down, looking at Shen Xing leisurely.
Shen Xing closed the door, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Song Qinghuan's crystal clear eyes, and couldn't help being startled.
Song Qinghuan poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, looked at her with a smile and said, "Why, Shen Xing has something to say to me?"
Shen Xing pursed her lips, and there was a trace of panic in her eyes, as if she didn't expect Song Qinghuan to see through her thoughts.
There was a moment of silence, as if she had made up her mind, she walked up to Song Qinghuan and bowed, "Your Highness, I do not understand something."
"Let's talk." Compared to the lively and cheerful Liu Yue, Shen Xing has a more calm and delicate temperament, and observes things more carefully.She probably knew what Shen Xing wanted to ask.
"Your Highness..." After hesitating for a moment, Shen Xing finally opened his mouth, "Your Highness, Prime Minister Shen...does he like you?"
Song Qinghuan lightly moved the tea leaves in the cup for a while, and a deep mist floated in his eyes, and he raised his head to look at Shen Xing.She thought about what Shen Xing would find out, but she didn't expect it so soon.
She did not speak.
However, Shen Xing understood in an instant, startled, stammered and asked again, "Then...Could it be that Prime Minister Shen came here specially for His Highness?"
Song Qinghuan pursed her lips, decided not to lie to them, took a deep breath, "Wait for Liuyue to come back."
Is this to clarify with them?
Shen Xing became a little nervous for no reason.
Although Shen Xiang's reputation outside is not good, being cold, cruel, heartless, etc., but she saw that Shen Xiangxiang was extremely caring about His Highness.This time she had clearly returned to the country, but she hurried back to go to Chen country with Di Ji, if it was not because she liked it, she couldn't think of any other reason.
Doubts were held in my heart for a long time, but I still couldn't help asking.
Liu Yue quickly went upstairs, opened the door and came in, seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, she couldn't help being taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Xing glanced at her, and coughed, "Just now I asked Your Highness, did Prime Minister Shen rush back here specially for her."
Liu Yue was startled for a moment, then came to understand, glanced at the light in Song Qinghuan's eyes, suddenly seemed frightened, and stammered, "Your Highness, Shen Xianghe...he doesn't really like you, does he?"
Well, usually I don't think that Shen Chuhan is such a person who can't hide things, how come the two girls are aware of it this time?
The two of them asked so directly, how shy were they, their porcelain-white cheeks were stained with a hint of rouge.
Seeing her expression, Liu Yue and Shen Xing didn't understand anything, they both opened their mouths wide, and looked at Song Qinghuan in amazement, "It's...it's true?!"
Song Qinghuan smiled embarrassingly, "Master Chen really has something important to do when he goes to Chen Country this time. He just heard that we are going too, so he hurried over to meet up, even I... in the drum."
Although she wanted to talk to Liu Yue and Shen Xing Daoming, but looking at their gleaming eyes, she was still embarrassed and only responded vaguely.
Fortunately, both of them are human beings. After a moment of surprise, they quickly reacted.
"This is really great!" Liu Yue cheered.
Song Qinghuan looked at her puzzled.
Could it be that these two little girls are very satisfied with Shen Chuhan?
"Shen Xiang is a strong man, and only a strong man can make your life better." Liu Yue looked at her, word by word.
Song Qinghuan couldn't help laughing, these two girls are really pure-hearted.
Although Song Qinghuan has faintly won Emperor Yu's favor in the past few years, in the eyes of Liu Yue and Shen Xing, without the strong support of her mother's family, there is nothing fundamental.The emperor's heart is impermanent, in case His Highness has other thoughts one day.Although Aunt Chongjin has Mrs. Qingxuan's power in her hands, it is not enough to compete with the entire royal family.
The matter of Liangguo getting married earlier made the two of them break into a cold sweat.If there is no strategizing by His Highness, then the person who will marry the moody Emperor Liang would not be Anyang Emperor Ji, but His Highness.
Although the predicament of the marriage was resolved, the two began to worry about the choice of Song Qinghuan's son-in-law.
She has reached the age of marriage, and soon, the emperor will start to look at the candidates for His Royal Highness.But the Empress and Pingyang Emperor Ji have always disliked His Highness, and she will definitely not let His Highness recruit a good consort.Thinking of this, I became more and more worried.
Unexpectedly, what they had been worrying about for a long time was solved in this way!Why are you unhappy?
Shen Xiangke was much, much better than the consort they expected in their hearts.Even those bad-tempered rumors were self-defeating after seeing Shen Xiangxiang's attitude towards His Highness.No matter how he treats others, he is really good to His Highness, that's enough.
Song Qinghuan didn't expect the two little girls to think so much behind their backs, but after hearing Liuyue's words, they were moved and laughed a little.
She looked at them and said solemnly, "Xiang Chen is a strong man, but we also need to become strong so that we can stand beside him neither humble nor overbearing."
Liu Yue nodded ignorantly, a dark light flashed in Shen Xing's eyes, he looked at Song Qinghuan and nodded solemnly, "I understand!"
Song Qing smiled happily and didn't say much.
No matter how much she said, she couldn't match her actions.
Thinking of another thing, he looked at the two of them, "Although I told you about this matter, but...you just don't know it when you are outside."
"Why?" Liu Yue was puzzled.
"Liang Yu and Yu have just married. At this time, it's inappropriate to tell about the matter between me and Prime Minister Shen."
"What about in front of Prime Minister Shen?" Liu Yue asked again.
Song Qinghuan paused, "In front of Prime Minister Shen, I just pretended not to know."
Liu Yue wanted to ask again, but Shen Xing grabbed her sleeves, signaling her not to ask any more, Liu Yue glared at her, and gave up resentfully.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Mu Bai's voice came, "Your Highness, are you up?" His voice was not loud, and the surrounding rooms were reserved by them, so he did not change his words.
Song Qinghuan responded and signaled Liuyue to open the door.
Liu Yue opened the door, looked at Mu Bai and smiled.
Originally, she still had some dislike for Mu Bai, after all, he was the one who threatened His Highness.But after hearing what His Highness said just now, he immediately regarded Shen Chuhan as half a master in his heart, and even had a good face towards Mu Bai.
Mu Bai was slightly startled, looked at her suspiciously, and then turned his gaze away.
"Your Highness, Young Master invites you to go down for dinner, saying that we will go for a walk together after dinner."
"Okay. I'll go down soon." Song Qinghuan agreed, thanked Mu Bai, and went downstairs after tidying up.
Shen Chuhan also changed out of the coarse cloth clothes he wore during the day, and wore a brocade white robe with an ink painting of wind and lotuses embroidered on the hem.
Those deep and cold eyes looked straight at Song Qinghuan through the crowd, and the eyes were suddenly filled with warmth.
In a trance, thinking of the scene when we first met in the previous life, my heart beats stagnantly.
A thousand years at a glance.
Really ten thousand years.
Song Qinghuan went down the stairs, walked up to Shen Chuhan, and saw that the table was already full of delicacies.
Shen Chuhan smiled, "I ordered some casually, ah...you eat some too, we'll go out and have a look later."
Song Qinghuan agreed, and sat down with Shen Chuhan.
Just as he was about to look at Liuyue and Shen Xing, Shen Chuhan said again, "I ordered someone to open another table over there, so Liuyue and Shen Xing can eat with Mu Bai."
Several people agreed, walked to another table and sat down.
Seeing that Shen Chuhan had somehow eaten, Song Qinghuan felt relieved.But for some reason, I always feel that his complexion is a little tired, and the clarity in his eyes seems to be covered with a layer of dust.
Song Qinghuan only thought that he was really tired, but when he thought that he was so tired because of himself, he felt a little distressed, picked up chopsticks and put a lot of food into Shen Chuhan's bowl.
Shen Chuhan, who had already put down his chopsticks, ate some more when he saw this.
It was a warm and harmonious meal.
After eating, several people walked to the street.
At this time, the night had completely darkened, and the twilight was all together, and there was a round of clear moon hanging in the dark blue sky, which was as big as a disc and exuded a bright and clear brilliance.
At noon, the little girl really didn't lie, the street was already brightly lit, people were coming and going, and there was a lot of people's voices everywhere.
The stalls on both sides of the street are full of colorful lanterns and various interesting gadgets.Although Song Qinghuan lived two lifetimes, he seldom left the palace. Seeing this bustling scene, his eyes lit up, looking here and there, happily like a bird out of its cage.
Not only Song Qinghuan, Liu Yue and Shen Xing also lingered, following her around, the three of them laughed together from time to time.
At this time, Song Qinghuan came over with a lantern in the shape of a rabbit, waved it in front of him, and said with a smile, "Does this look good?"
Shen Chuhan nodded, but all his eyes fell on Song Qinghuan's face.
As the lights drifted away, her eyes were full of light, which made it hard to miss.Because of walking in a hurry, the skin was covered with crystal-clear sweat, making her look even more delicate and charming.
Seeing that he only looked at himself but not at the lantern in his hand, Song Qinghuan pouted, glared at her, took the lantern and went back to the shop to pick it out.
It was rare to see Song Qinghuan with such a childish appearance, Shen Chuhan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips.Just as she was about to step up to keep up, her steps suddenly stopped, her sharp brows furrowed, her eyes revealed a hint of pain, and her lips turned pale.
Mu Bai, who was behind him, was startled, and hurried forward to support him, his brows and eyes were full of worry, and his voice was tense and tense, "My lord, could it be earlier this time? This subordinate should help you back first."
"No need." Shen Chu refused in a cold voice, raised his hand to brush away his support, moved slightly, suppressed the pain on his face, raised his eyes to see Song Qinghuan's bright figure in front of him, and quickened his pace to follow.
Hahaha, it's finally a day earlier, maybe I also like this kind of sweet concubine in the dark? 【Feeling good about myself】
