Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 58

Shen Xinniang saw the maid came back empty-handed.

The servant girl's expression was puzzled: "The big kitchen said that the lady's small kitchen is already outside the quota. Food has been delivered to the lady, and a day's quota has also been delivered. If you want... there is no more."

Originally thought that Shen Xinniang would be displeased, but seeing that she didn't care, she said casually: "Then let's go out and do some shopping, as it happens, there are a lot of things to buy."

She paid her own silver and sent the servants in her courtyard to go out and buy.

Only the maid was sent there, she neither went out nor used Shen's money.

Zhu Shi was annoyed, but had nothing to say.

"Her money, isn't her money the Shen family's money? Didn't the Shen family give it to her? Now that she's back with Li, her dowry should also go to the public!" Zhu gnashed her teeth.

But she didn't forget what happened yesterday, and she didn't dare to provoke Shen Xinniang for a while.

Shen Shangshu waited anxiously outside the Qi Palace for a long time before he was sent inside by someone.

Prince Qi's mansion is magnificent and the courtyard is deep. Entering the mansion, it seems that there is a majestic and majestic atmosphere on him, which makes him bend his back involuntarily.

When he was brought to the flower hall, there was a thin layer of sweat on Shen Shangshu's forehead.

The flower hall was quiet and there was a faint fragrance of orchids. Shen Shangshu was invited to take a seat.

A servant of the palace brought a cup of tea.

Before seeing King Qi, he already felt a little bit on pins and needles.

Taking a sip of tea, Shen Shangshu was estimating in his heart how long he would have to wait to enter the flower hall.

Then I heard the sound of steady footsteps coming.

Shen Shangshu glanced out, saw the tall and tall figure, Shen Shangshu hurriedly bowed, "I have seen the prince—"

King Qi entered the Flower Hall and sat down on the upper seat, "Is Shen Shangshu leisurely today?"

A word that is neither serious nor serious, seems to be insinuating that during this period of time, he has been so busy with the affairs of the pawn shop and playing his affairs with the censors.

I don't know if he was thinking too much, Shen Shangshu said with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "No matter how busy you are, it is not as important as coming to see the prince!"

Hearing the words, King Qi slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and raised his brows lightly, "Oh? So, Shen Shangshu came to find me for something important?"

"Uh... this..." Shen Shangshu considered his words for a while, but he still didn't decide how to speak.

Simply bowing and taking a step forward, he took out the letterhead prepared in his sleeve and offered it with both hands.

The entourage around King Qi took it and presented it to King Qi.

King Qi opened the letter to read.

Looking up at Shen Shangshu's face again, there is a bit of deep meaning, but he is used to not showing his anger.

Xiao is Shen Shangshu who is good at observing words and expressions, so he can't tell whether King Qi is happy?Still not happy?

Could it be that he guessed wrong?
Shen Shangshu felt uneasy.

King Qi asked, "What is this?"

"Ah?" Shen Shangshu was taken aback, "Yes, it's my little girl's post!"

Could it be that King Qi wasn't in the car that took Shen Xiniang back to Shen's house yesterday?Does King Qi have any other intentions towards Shen Xiniang?
He guessed wrong?Guess all wrong?

Shen Shangshu's back was slightly sweating, and his heart was a little tense.

King Qi smiled lightly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Of course I can see that this is Geng Tie, Shen Xin, from the Shen family. What does Shen Shangshu mean?"

Things have come to this point, even if it is wrong, it can only go on wrong!

Shen Shangshu put his heart on the line, gritted his teeth and said: "Although Xin'er was born with a stupid disease, she is cured now! If you want to come, the prince will know it too! Xin'er is like her mother, demure and soft, if King Qi doesn't dislike her, let her She is fortunate enough to serve King Qi, so it is her blessing!"

King Qi's deep eyes fell on Shen Shangshu.

Shen Shangshu felt as if a thorn was on his back, staring at King Qi's eyes, he who was always eloquent also felt numb in his tongue.

"So, Shen Shangshu wants this king to marry her?" King Qi asked.

When Shen Shangshu heard the words, he knelt down and shook his head again and again: "Don't dare, Xin'er was married to Qilang of Feng's family before, and now she is reconciled, how dare she think about the position of princess! The officer sent her here!"

"Tonight?" King Qi's voice was slightly raised, and there seemed to be joy in his tone, but also mocking.

Shen Shangshu's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, "Yes, it all depends on the prince's will."

"Well, what does she mean?" Qi Wang asked lightly.

Shen Shangshu was taken aback for a moment, "Marriage matters, parents' order, matchmaker's words. She, she can have any opinions, this matter is naturally up to the subordinate officials to decide."

King Qi nodded slowly, "Okay."

Hearing a good word, Shen Shangshu heaved a long sigh of relief.

It seems that I guessed right!It's good to bet on the wrong treasure!This thing can be done!
"But tonight, are you a little anxious?" King Qi had a half-smile on his face.

Shen Shangshu no longer dared to fathom the meaning behind King Qi's expression, he found that King Qi was not someone he could guess, "No, don't be in a hurry, er, no, it's her good fortune to be able to serve King Qi. it is good."

King Qi laughed when he heard this.

Shen Shangshu was panicked by the laughter, was this flattering right or not?
"It's not her who is impatient, but Shen Shangshu, are you impatient?" King Qi said.

Shen Shangshu's expression froze, and he was about to deny it, but then he thought of King Qi's way of doing things, so he admitted: "Yes, the lower official is impatient. King Qi must also know that the lower official has offended that villain recently and was framed by others. The shop of my wife's family was sealed up by the Jingzhao Mansion. The censors are still holding on to this matter, it's really... really miserable!"

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyes cautiously, and peeked at King Qi's face secretly. If King Qi is not angry and agrees to let Shen Xiniang enter the mansion, is he ready to help him?
But King Qi couldn't see any clues at all.

A moment of silence.

In the noble and gorgeous flower hall, it was so quiet that one could hear Shen Shangshu's beating heart and his short breathing.

"Using my daughter for a smooth official career, Shen Shangshu has thought about it?" Qi Wang's clear voice suddenly sounded in the flower hall.

Shen Shangshu was startled, his face turned pale, his lips trembled, how could he answer this question?
"If Shen Shangshu didn't think about it, go back and think about it!" King Qi folded Shen Xiniang's Geng Tie and handed it to his followers.

The entourage stepped forward and handed it to Shen Shangshu.

Shen Shangshu looked at the Geng post, hesitated for a moment, and did not accept it, "Your official, think it over! I've already thought it over!"

King Qi smiled, and stretched out his hand to take Geng Tie again, "Well, I'm being disrespectful, and I'll wait for Shen Shangshu to send someone here."

Shen Shangshu Jishou, "Yes, yes! I will do it now, I will do it now!"

When Shen Shangshu got up and came to the entrance of the flower hall.

King Qi said again: "In this way, she got into Prince Qi's mansion, but she is not even a side concubine, concubine Teng, Shen Shangshu, will she regret it?"

Shen Shangshu was taken aback, smiled and shook his head again and again, "No, no, it's her blessing to be able to serve King Qi, how dare you expect anything else! I will never regret it!"

King Qi looked at him and nodded.

Shen Shangshu wondered why there was such pity in King Qi's last look at him?
·
Shen Shangshu, who left Qi Wangfu, was really happy.

It really didn't make him guess wrong!Since King Qi returned to the capital for so long, he has been busy suppressing the Yu family and supporting the young emperor.My own personal problems have been dragged on without consideration, in fact, there is still a lack of people to sleep with!

Instead, let his eldest daughter take advantage of it!
This idiot, born with extraordinary beauty, if it wasn't for those eyes, it would be okay to be Teng's concubine and wife to King Qi, right?

No matter what, the person sent him over, and his crisis was resolved!

Shen Shangshu thought beautifully.

After returning to Shen's house, he went straight to Shaoguangyuan.

Smell bursts of fragrance from a distance, scattered in all directions.

When approaching the Shaoguang Academy, I saw many servants of the Shen family gathered around the Shaoguang Academy, peeping in, as if they were longing for something.

Not long after, a little maid with a beautiful face and an extraordinary demeanor came out, holding a clean white plate in her hand, on which were scattered extremely fast and delicate snacks.

The servant girl walked to the gate of Shaoguang Courtyard, "Should I invite the elderly grandma to share?"

After speaking, a woman stepped forward.

The servant girl poured all the exquisite snacks on the plate onto the lapel of the old woman's pocket, and turned back to Shaoguang courtyard.

The maidservant at the side immediately surrounded the woman, "Give it to me, give it to me! I didn't get the last game! Give it to me!"

The sound of looting is endless.

Shen Shangshu stared and frowned, raised his finger and pointed at a group of servants gathered together, "What, what is this doing? How decent is it?"

Shen Shangshu's entourage immediately stepped forward and scolded: "Don't you have to work? The Shen family is supporting you for nothing?"

The servants who were snatching up the snacks turned their heads to see that the master had arrived, and immediately dispersed in all directions.

That greedy man didn't forget to grab another snack and stuff it into his mouth before he left.

Shen Shangshu frowned and stepped into the Shaoguang Academy.

Immediately, many people secretly gathered around again, hoping that when everyone else left, would they get a little more food from the next plate?
Shen Xinniang was sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard, looking up at the chirping oriole bird on the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.

Shen Shangshu coughed lightly.

Startled the birds.

Shen Xinniang looked down at him, got up and said, "Father."

Shen Shangshu nodded, sniffing the scent constantly overflowing from the stove room, "It's not too late, what kind of meal did you cook?"

"Snacks." Shen Xiniang said.

"Since it's a snack, it's enough to make less. Why do you distribute it to the servants when it's ready, causing them to loot it outside? There are no rules?" Shen Shangshu reprimanded.

Shen Xinniang glanced at him, "If my father doesn't let me, I won't."

After she finished speaking, she said to the maid next to her, "Tell them there is no need to wait."

The servant girl took the order and left, standing at the gate of the courtyard, her voice was crisp and clear: "Everyone is gone, the master won't let you eat!"
