After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 173 Chapter 173
"you you……"

After that moment of surprise, Shen Qingci quickly calmed down: "When did the prince come back?"

She regretted that she slept so soundly that she didn't even know when there was a big living person around her.

But on the surface, seeing the calm appearance of the other party, Shen Qingci had no choice but to pretend to be calm, otherwise it would appear that he was too coy and hypocritical.

Sheng Tingye, who hadn't slept well all night, half propped himself up and sat up, "Zi Shi."

At that time, Shen Qingci fell into a deep sleep.

She also wanted to say that she had waited for him for most of the night, but in the end she fell asleep first. Shen Qingci's face couldn't help but feel a little hot, but fortunately, Sheng Tingye had already got up, so he probably didn't notice her.

Grandma Gui, who was waiting outside, heard the movement and asked, "Is the lord awake?"

Sheng Tingye responded.

Soon a maidservant came in and waited on the two of them to freshen up.

Shen Qingci went into the inner room, and changed into a peach-colored pair of skirts.

This is what Zhou asked Qizhenfang to do after she was reborn and returned to the Shen family.

The high-quality brocade, coupled with the craftsmanship of Qizhenfang's embroiderer, this dress complements her appearance even more beautifully and unparalleled.

When she came out after changing her clothes, even Nanny Gui, who had spent most of her life scrambling in the palace full of beauties, was amazed.

Sheng Tingye has already packed up and sat at the Eight Immortals table.

Seeing Shen Qingci coming out, his eyebrows and eyes were still cold, as usual, he only glanced at Shen Qingci, and then ordered his servants: "Dinner."

Various breakfasts were delivered to the table.

Although Shen Qingci had only learned the rules from Nanny Li for a few days, she also knew that she couldn't sit down casually if the one in charge of the royal family didn't speak.

With Nanny Gui here, she was thinking that Sheng Tingye would also abide by these rules here.

But he suddenly looked up at her who was still standing aside: "Aren't you hungry?"

Shen Qingci immediately understood that he didn't care about these things.

She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly sat down opposite him, and began to eat.

After eating and drinking enough, Shen Qingci waited for Sheng Tingye to leave, then packed up his things and went back to Shen's house.

There is nothing to go back to the Shen family, but Gui Ning follows the rules, and she can't avoid it due to emotion or reason. What's more, she still wants to take this opportunity to sneak to see Liao's mother.

But who would have thought that Sheng Tingye, who was busy until late at night yesterday, is not in a hurry now.

Shen Qingci saw him sitting firmly at the desk in front of the bed, reading with a scroll, and had no intention of leaving for a while.

She couldn't care about him anymore, and turned around to ask Chunya and the others to prepare.

But I didn't expect Qingyun to call outside first, "Master, everything is ready, we can go."

After finishing speaking, Qingyun smiled at Shen Qingci: "It's just that I don't know what kind of tea Mrs. Shen usually likes to drink, but the one prepared by Steward Jiang can't be wrong."

Hearing this, Shen Qingci was taken aback for a moment.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Sheng Tingye.

Before he could react, Sheng Tingye had already stood up and walked towards her.

Shen Qingci was a little surprised: "My lord... are you... wanting to accompany me back home?"

Sheng Tingye didn't stop walking, and turned his head to look at her: "Isn't it right?"

This surprised Shen Qingci even more.

That being said.

But he is an exception.

Because of her poor health, she was even exempted from going to the palace with her to offer tea to the queen.

Shen Qingci didn't expect that he would accompany her back to the Shen family that she didn't even care about.

Sheng Tingye had already reached the door, seeing that Shen Qingci hadn't moved, he turned his head and glanced at her.

"What are you still doing?"

Shen Qingci originally wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.

Moreover, what she said is not important anymore, Qingyun has already prepared everything here.

Carriage, accompanying, generous gift.

Shen Qingci had no choice but to give up, and followed him into the carriage.

Sheng Tingye and her were on the carriage.

When the wheels turned and the group set off, Shen Qingci couldn't hold back, "My lord, you are not in good health, but it doesn't have to be like this."

She doesn't care anyway.

Shen Qingci was used to his cold and distant attitude.

Therefore, I thought that this time he would probably respond indifferently.

Who would have thought that just as she finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at her with heavy eyes: "I didn't follow you into the palace the day before yesterday because I thought I was indifferent and the queen mother wouldn't do anything to you."

The space in the carriage wasn't too big, and with his tall and straight stature, the space seemed cramped when the two of them sat together.

As a carriage curtain was lowered to isolate the hustle and bustle outside, the breaths of the two people in the carriage were entangled together.

The moment Shen Qingci met his calm and deep eyes, his heart suddenly missed a beat.

What does he mean by that?
Are you explaining to her?
However, he didn't need to explain at all.

He is not in good health, one more thing is worse than one less thing, what does it matter whether he accompanies her into the palace or not?
Anyway, it's just a superficial couple.

Shen Qingci's mind was spinning quickly, but Sheng Tingye said again: "Before you were bullied at the Shen family?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingci blinked his eyes.

To be precise, it was the original body who had been wronged and bullied, since she was reborn, she had never been angered.

Shen Qingci waved his hand, "It's okay, I'm not a soft persimmon."

Hearing this, Sheng Tingye thought about it, yes.

She has always been prickly, no one can bully her.

But this doesn't mean that he will turn a blind eye to what the former members of the Shen family did to her.

Here, Shen Qingci, who had come to his senses, looked at Sheng Tingye's thoughtful expression, and subconsciously blurted out: "Could it be that the prince wants to stand up for me?"

She just said that casually, never thought about it, Sheng Tingye really nodded.

"After the royal father gave you the marriage, there were many rumors in Beijing that the Shen family treated you harshly. It can be seen that the Shen family did not take this marriage seriously."

In other words, he, the prince, was not taken seriously.

Shen Qingci understood, but she felt that this was wronging the Shen family——

It's not that the Shen family was so audacious that they didn't take him seriously, but it never occurred to them that she, who was about to die, would still be favored and supported by someone in the palace.

However, when the words "favored" and "backed up" just popped out of his mind, even Shen Qingci himself was taken aback.

Sheng Tingye's move was just to establish his prestige.

It doesn't fit with these.

She secretly pinched her thigh to prevent herself from having any thoughts that she shouldn't have.

She couldn't have him when he was Lin Yue before, and she shouldn't have him now.

In a blink of an eye, Shen Qingci recovered the clarity of the Lingtai, and joked with Sheng Tingye with a smile: "Then the prince also talked about retiring the engagement several times back then?"

Shen Qingci wasn't trying to excuse the Shen family, just because of his indifferent and disgusted look who wanted to divorce immediately... It's no wonder that the Shen family valued her.

Now it's strange that people don't take this marriage seriously.

Sheng Tingye was suffocated by Shen Qingci's words.

He turned his head away, feeling a little uncomfortable, lowered his voice and said, "I didn't know it was you at the time."

His voice was not loud, and with the fact that the carriage was driving on Momofuku Street, the busiest place in Kyoto, and there was a lot of noise outside, Shen Qingci, who was distracted, couldn't hear clearly at all.

She subconsciously moved a little closer, and asked, "My lord, what did you just say?"

Sheng Tingye's expression froze, and a tinge of red suddenly appeared on the tips of his ears that were originally like fine porcelain.

At this moment, the pain in the heart spread again.

Before Shen Qingci could realize this, the originally stable carriage suddenly stopped abruptly.

Shen Qingci had just leaned half of her body towards Sheng Tingye, but because of this sudden situation, she staggered and fell towards him.

But fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, grabbed the window frame beside her, and managed to stabilize her figure.
But because the distance between the two was extremely close, and the incident happened so suddenly, no matter how quick she reacted, she fell into his arms. The weight fell on him.

"Feel sorry……"

Shen Qingci only felt a chill rushing up from this person, her scalp was numb.

Knowing that this person hates being approached by others, she even hit him in a hurry.

Shen Qingci hurriedly got up from his arms, before he could stabilize his figure, he heard Qingyun's voice from outside: "Master, I have met King An."

King An.

Shen Qingci was stunned for a moment before remembering that he was talking about the second prince Sheng Tingjing.

He was named King An, but she still hadn't realized it.

Today, of course, is also the day when King An accompanied Princess An back home.
