The black-bellied prime minister's red makeup

Chapter 18 The Man Under the Plane Tree

Even though he hadn't visited for a month, Old Madam Chen still had a loving and kind look when he saw Shen Qingnan.

Taking Shen Qingnan's hand and leading him to sit on the couch, the white-haired Chen Haoran smiled and half-closed his eyes, as if talking to his own grandson, and said: "Nan'er, it's a good day in court Huh? Is His Majesty healthy today?"

Ye Xiao's brows and eyes widened, and he tightly held Old Madam Chen's hand.

Without the majesty and coldness of the past, now Shen Qingnan nodded in a warm and respectful voice like a grandson seeing a grandfather: "Okay, everything is good, the current emperor is the Son of Heaven, so he is in good health."

"That's good, that's good. I'm old and can no longer be by the emperor's side. You should try your best to assist the emperor."

"Yes, Nan'er knows, don't worry, Taifu."

"..."

"..."

In this way, the two chatted in the room for nearly an hour before Shen Qingnan came out and went to the lotus pavilion alone.

Taifu's mansion is very big, but it was also bestowed by the emperor.

The old matriarch is an upright and honest person, so he doesn't have so much money to hire servants. Originally, Shen Qingnan wanted to hire some servants for the old matriarch, but he declined them all. In order to be clean, it is enough to have someone who cooks and cleans in the mansion. There is no need for so many servants.Since the old matriarch said so, he had no choice but to give up, so this was the reason why he couldn't see a servant while walking in such a huge mansion.

To go to the Lotus Pavilion, one must pass by the back garden of the mansion, and Shen Qingnan happened to be walking there at this time.

Surrounded by flowers like brocade, rose, rose, jasmine...Almost as long as it can bloom in July, there are flowers here.

They are clustered around each other, just like the women in the world who are competing for a man's favor. Although they are beautiful and coquettish, there is nothing special when they gather together.

Suddenly, Shen Qingnan was attracted by the sycamore tree not far away that was "a little red among the thousands of flowers", which looked extremely abrupt among the flowers.

That sycamore tree with luxuriant branches and leaves and thick trunk should be a hundred years old, and the thousands of colorful flowers growing in it will attract Shen Qingnan's eyes every time he passes by here, but this time it is not the tree that really attracts his eyes but this time. The person under the tree who is leaning against the big tree and sleeping soundly.

He was dressed in white, half of his hair was tied high by a white headband and the other half hung over his shoulders. The breeze blew some strands of hair along with the wind, covering most of his face.

Curious about this man's identity, Shen Qingnan slowly leaned towards him, and when he came to him, he bent down and looked at his face.

Light brows and thin lips, the man at this time has his eyes closed and his face is serene and peaceful. Although his appearance is not as handsome as Xia Hanming's, at least he is fair and clean, and his brows are clear. Looking at his attire, he looks like a pretty scholar look.

As if sensing that someone was coming, the sleeping man dimly and slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Shen Qingnan, the corners of his originally calm mouth suddenly evoked a gentle smile.He grabbed Shen Qingnan's hand and took advantage of the moment when he was in a daze to suddenly pull him down to the ground, and at the same time his whole body pressed on it.

Gently stroking the face of the person below him, he smiled and said in a gentle and loving tone, "Xiang'er, you are so beautiful today!"

Shen Qingnan's original coldness and disgust of being pressed under a strange man disappeared instantly the moment he opened his mouth.

It turned out that he didn't want to cheat on him, but recognized him as someone else. Judging from his tone, it should be his beloved.

Intentionally accentuating his male voice, he looked directly at the man Shen Qingnan who was pressing on him and said: "Brother, wake up, you've got the wrong person."

As if a book of cold water had been poured suddenly, the man woke up instantly, and saw the man who was pressed under him suddenly bounce off him.His originally fair face was stained with a blush, and he cupped his hands and kept apologizing: "This brother is really sorry, it was impolite to admit the wrong person, I hope you will not take offense."

But when was he so stupid that he could see a man as a woman?It's just that the elder brother in front of him is indeed very handsome, if it is a woman, he must be a beauty that can overwhelm the country and the city.

At this moment, footsteps were slowly walking towards him, but his voice sounded before he was fully approached, bright but not high-pitched, and with a smile: "What are you two talking about? Can you let me listen too."

It was Xia Hanming.Walking among the flowers, his handsome appearance with ink words like jade, his natural and unrestrained clothes with flying corners make all the flowers look pale.

Today, he is also dressed as a scholar, but there is probably no more handsome scholar than him in this world.

Walking in front of the two of them, he asked curiously, "Liangyu, how did you meet the current Prime Minister Shen?"

"Prime Minister Shen?"

I don't know whether to be afraid or to be pleasantly surprised. Ruan Liangyu looked at the thin, short but extremely handsome man in front of him.
