After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

Chapter 24 Lantern Festival ([-])
In Shen Shengge's memory, she liked her fiance, Lord Zhu Xiaohou very much. She grew up as a childhood sweetheart, but Master Zhu seemed to have always looked down on Shen Shengge.Therefore, Shen Shengge has always followed Master Zhu Xiaohou.Moreover, Master Zhu Xiaohou was handsome, noble, and surrounded by beauties, but Shen Shengge was afraid that he would be snatched away, so he jumped out and pinched peach blossoms for him.

Shen Shengge's reputation for being domineering, domineering and self-willed is also due to this.

The two have been engaged since they were young. It stands to reason that after Shen Shengge gets married, they can discuss their marriage and marry into the Hou's mansion.

Let's not talk about whether Master Zhu is a good match or not. Su Wunian married wrongly in his previous life, killing his father and brother and tens of thousands of brothers who were born and died in the Zhenyuan Army. His heart has long been like a pool of stagnant water. .

She believes in: a wise man does not fall in love.

People coming and going on the street cast strange glances at the two of them. At the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, there were countless pairs of talented scholars and beautiful ladies like this.

"Isn't that Young Master Zhu and his henchmen?" Miss Qianjin who knew her said bitterly.

With bitter words, "Look, Shen Shengge, from head to toe, is not worthy of the young master Zhu who is both civil and military!"

After realizing the eyes of passers-by, Zhu Xiaohou started to deliberately keep a distance from Su Wunian, and the two walked farther and farther away, becoming strangers.

"Cousin! Brother Zhu!" Shen Mengxi, who was chasing after her, smiled like a flower.

The displeasure in Zhu Langshuo's eyes dissipated, and the gloom dissipated. He reached out to touch Shen Mengxi's head, and asked softly, "Little Mengxi, why are you here?"

"It's so boring to walk around with grandma and the others, so I came to chase you." Seeing Zhu Langshuo, Shen Mengxi seemed to have bright eyes and a radiant look.

She turned her head and smiled harmlessly at Su Wunian, "Cousin, I didn't bother you, did I?"

Before Su Wunian could speak, Zhu Langshuo took the lead with a soft smile and said, "Of course not. She and I didn't have anything to talk about."

The contempt flashed across his eyes.

However, this fleeting emotion still couldn't escape Su Wunian's eyes, but she didn't say anything.

"Wow~" Shen Mengxi inadvertently put her arms around Young Master Zhu's arm, pulled him past Su Wunian, stopped outside the lantern shop, smiling like a flower, as if she was an innocent little girl at this moment, hugging her sweetheart , "Brother Zhu, what a beautiful lantern~"

"Guess the lantern riddle above, and you can take it away." Shen Mengxi glanced across all the lanterns, pointed at the lantern in front of Su Wunian, shook the arm of Young Master Zhu, and said coquettishly, "Well...Brother Zhu, you Bowen Qiangzhi, I want that orange lantern! Help me guess the lantern riddles on it~"

Zhu Jian, who was following behind, looked at Shen Mengxi's shameless appearance, and clenched his fists in his sleeves.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless people!Arguing with her fiancé in front of the eldest lady, getting entangled, I'm piss~
Do you think our eldest lady is dead? !
Looking at his eldest lady again, her face was still calm.The eldest lady must be pretending to be calm, and she must be feeling uncomfortable at the moment.

"Miss, which lantern do you like? Little Marquis Zhu will definitely win one for you and give it to you. After all, you are his fiancee." Pay attention, and when speaking, her gaze fell on Shen Mengxi's hand holding Master Zhu's arm.

Everyone followed her gaze, and Qiqi set their eyes on Shen Mengxi's hand, which was very meaningful.Just one sentence can clarify the situation, and the audience likes this kind of after-dinner talk the most.

Shen Mengxi felt the burning eyes, let go of her hand, and had nowhere to put it.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Jian felt a little proud in his heart.

"I've always regarded Xiao Mengxi as my younger sister, Shen Shengge, you don't even want to eat your sister's jealousy, do you?" There was an undisguised disgust in his eyes, and then he turned to Shen Mengxi gently, "You want this orange lantern?" Is it?"

"Let me see."

With a flattered expression, Shen Mengxi put her arms around Young Lord Zhu's arm again, "Cousin is naturally not that small."

Everyone looked at Su Wunian with intriguing eyes, looking forward to her next move. However, Su Wunian admired the lantern in front of her as if nothing had happened, and didn't take the two of them seriously at all.

Everyone thought to themselves: She must have broken the jar, so don't worry about it.

"Isn't this Shen Shengge?" A piercing voice came from the crowd, "Of course she dared not say anything, because she is not worthy of Zhu Xiaohou at all!"

"You are talking nonsense, why is our eldest lady not worthy of Zhu Xiaohou?!" Zhu Jian refused to accept.

"It's true that the upper beam is not upright and the lower beam is crooked. Things of a kind gather and people are divided into groups! There are people who are born by mothers but not raised by mothers, and the maids who are taught are so arrogant and ignorant of the rules!" Zhou Lingli was sharp-tongued and aggressive, "When the master spoke , Is there any place for your lowly servant to interrupt?!"

"Zhou Lingli, after all, you are also a lady of the Hou Mansion, so you should understand other people's maids, so it's not your turn to teach me a lesson." Su Wunian was trying to guess the riddle on the floating lantern with a picture of a begonia beauty at the top, but Zhou Lingli Disturbed interest.

"As for whether I am worthy of being Zhu Xiaohou, it's not up to you."

"If it is said that I was born by a mother but not raised by a mother, if it gets to the ears of the Wang family and the Shen family, and Zhou Lingli offends the two great families with your words, does Lord Zhou know?"

"It's said that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and that things gather together and people are divided into groups? I am the empress dowager's cousin. Do you think that the empress dowager is not right?"

Zhou Lingli turned pale with fright after hearing the last sentence, and quickly explained and denied, "No, that's not what I meant!"

"How dare you slander Su Shengren!" The people watching the excitement stopped watching the excitement, and instead accused Zhou Lingli, saying what you said.

"Could it be that your Zhou family has a lot of resentment towards the empress dowager, and that's why you came up with such an idea?"

"No, our Zhou family is absolutely loyal to the imperial court and has absolutely no disrespect."

"I, I made a mistake, Shen Shengge, you know that's not what I meant..." Zhou Lingli was so frightened that she was about to cry.

"Okay, Shen Shengge, I know that's not what Lingli meant, so don't worry about it any more." Young Master Zhu came out to smooth things over, "Which lantern do you like, I'll give it to you. Don't be angry."

In the past, when she was angry, she only needed to be coaxed a little, and she would obey her obediently.

Su Wunian raised her eyebrows slightly, and pointed at the lantern on the top.

"That's the leader of the lantern." Someone said in surprise, "The lantern riddles on it have not been solved for several years."

"Although the lamps are replaced every year, the riddles on them are really difficult!"

Shen Mengxi looked up at Young Lord Zhu with admiration, "Brother Zhu has learned a lot, so he will definitely guess it!"
