Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 104
Shen Wanyu sat beside the queen mother, with her head slightly lowered.There is always a shallow and gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, like an elegant lady of a great family.It was the hand under the long sleeves that covered the gorgeous palace dress that was slightly clenched, and the knuckles were still slightly white, which showed that the owner was still a little nervous at this moment.

There was a crisp crashing sound, and the glazed bead curtain was lifted.Chu Mohan, who was dressed in a moon-white robe with silver silk and dark patterns, walked in, followed by the expressionless man in black.

"Empress Dowager, how are you doing recently?"

Chu Mohan had a gentle smile on his face, and there was a hint of concern in those narrow, single phoenix eyes.

"Ai's family is very good, but Han'er, you haven't come to the palace to talk to Ai's family very much recently." The joy in the Queen Mother's eyes became more and more intense, she beckoned Chu Mohan to sit beside her: "Come on , Aijia will introduce you. This is Shen Wanyu, the eldest lady of Beining Houfu, and this is Chu Mohan, the eldest son of Prince Han. The two of you are not much different in age, so you can walk around more in the future."

"Wanyu has met His Royal Highness!" Shen Wanyu stood up slowly and made a dignified salute.As if the two met for the first time, the words were polite and distant.

"Miss Shen is not too polite. I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can call me Brother Han." Chu Mohan raised a beautiful and seductive smile, and looked at the corner of his mouth with a pair of long and narrow red phoenix eyes. The smile was stiff Shen Wanyu nodded.

When Shen Wanyu heard Chu Mohan's words, he almost vomited blood in his heart.This evildoer definitely did it on purpose, and asked her to call him Brother Han.Thinking of this title, she felt a chill.

"Han'er is right, Wanyu, you are a few years younger than him, so naturally you have to call Brother Han." The Queen Mother looked at the two of them, a flash of light flashed in her wise eyes.Opened with a smile.

Chu Mohan raised his brows, and looked at Shen Wanyu with an awkward expression.Who told her to pretend not to know herself first, it was just a lesson for her.

The queen mother has spoken, what else can Shen Wanyu say.He could only grit his teeth and say, "Brother Han!"

"Sister Wanyu!" Chu Mohan's brows were full of joy, and there was a hint of playfulness in his voice.

The gentle smile on the corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth became more and more stiff, and she wished she could scratch his monstrous face right now.

"Han'er, you need to take care of Wanyu more in the future. This girl is usually a little bit more delicate, and she will always provoke some people unintentionally." The queen mother looked at the two of them, and she suddenly took Shen Wanyu's hand.His eyes fell on Chu Mohan, and he said something seemingly unintentionally.

"That's natural. Since sister Wanyu called me Brother Han, I will naturally protect her more than others." Chu Mohan knew the meaning of the Queen Mother's words, but what surprised him was why the Queen Mother treated him say these words?Did you see something?
The queen mother nodded in satisfaction and said nothing more.She and the emperor felt guilty about this Prince Han's son, but this child made them feel at ease the most.

Shen Wanyu looked at the two, she was a little confused about the conversation between them.But he knew that Chu Mohan had promised the Queen Mother that he would take good care of her.She always thinks there's something weird about it?But she couldn't tell what was strange.

"Han'er, the emperor gave you another mission to enter the palace this time?" The queen mother took the teacup handed over by Nanny Gui, and took a sip.

Nanny Gui also served tea to Shen Wanyu and Chu Mohan at the same time, and then retreated to the back to wait.

"Well, the emperor said that the Shang Academy will start in a while. The emperor wants to teach another subject, women's medical skills. In the future, the palace will start female doctors, and all of them will come from the Shang Academy. So, the emperor asked me for this period of time. Let's see if we can contact the ghost doctor or his apprentice, it would be even better if he is willing to teach himself."

Chu Mohan had a headache. The ghost doctor had a weird temper and his whereabouts were erratic.It's really difficult to find him, and he doesn't accept apprentices easily, the task entrusted to him by the emperor this time is really a headache.

The Empress Dowager's gaze fell on Shen Wanyu involuntarily, and Shen Wanyu was also very surprised.Unexpectedly, the emperor wanted to set up female doctors in the court, so that Dakun's women could also serve as officials in the court.

"Are you sure you'll find this ghost doctor?" The queen mother withdrew her gaze, frowned slightly and looked at Chu Mohan: "The emperor's decision is very good, but it's really difficult to find the ghost doctor and convince him in such a short time."

"No way, the emperor's life is difficult. Mo Han can only do his best, and I can't guarantee the result." Chu Mohan shook his head helplessly. It seems that he can only use all his power to find the ghost doctor. .

Shen Wanyu rolled her eyes, and a calculation floated in her heart.She looked at the queen mother and Chu Mohan with a smile: "If the queen mother can find my master and persuade him to do this teaching, what reward will Wanyu have?"

Since the queen mother already knew that she was the ghost doctor's apprentice, this matter would still fall on her in the end.Instead of letting the Queen Mother speak, it's better to sell your favor first and ask for a reward.

"You girl, you know how to ask for rewards. But if you can really do this, the Ai family will definitely ask you a huge reward from the emperor." Very satisfied with the help.

Chu Mohan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Shen Wanyu slightly surprised: "Sister Wanyu, do you mean that you can find a ghost doctor?"

Chu Mohan remembered that Shen Wanyu also worshiped a ghost doctor as her teacher in her last life, but that happened a year later.Why is she becoming the ghost doctor's apprentice now? Some things seem to be different from the previous life.

"En, brother Han? You said I helped you so much, how can you thank me?" Shen Wanyu raised her eyebrows with a bright smile on her face.Her eyes, which were as black as gemstones, were curved like the mysterious moon in the night sky.

Chu Mohan put away the surprise in his heart, and looked at her smiling like a little fox.She shook her head helplessly in her heart, as soon as this girl showed such an expression, she was ready to cheat.And the person who was cheated was undoubtedly him.

"Sister Wanyu has helped me so much, so my son will naturally thank you very much. Tell me, what gift do you want?"

Chu Mohan was already prepared to be tricked by her, anyway, sooner or later all his things would be hers.

"What?" Shen Wanyu tilted her head and blinked her eyes, carefully looking up and down at Chu Mohan.Pointing his chin with his index finger, he thought for a moment before opening his mouth: "Now I have not made up my mind, I will let you owe it to me, and I will tell you when I am done."

"Aren't you afraid that I won't admit it in the future?" Chu Mohan raised his eyebrows, and looked at Shen Wanyu in surprise.With the fat on her lips, this girl just gave up like that?

"Hmph, there is the Empress Dowager as a witness for Wan Yu. Do you dare not admit it?" Shen Wanyu raised her chin slightly and looked at Chu Mohan provocatively.In my heart, I still have some concerns about him asking me to call him Brother Han.

"Well, the Ai family will testify for Wanyu girl today. Han'er, you owe her a request." The Queen Mother looked at the somewhat provocative conversation between the two cheerfully. People are good together.

Although she thought so in her heart, the queen mother did not have the heart to match.She has already promised Wan Yu that her marriage will be decided by herself.

"Hey, I heard that Miss Shen of Beining Hou Mansion is deeply favored by the Queen Mother. Today I have seen it. Since the Queen Mother has testified for you, it seems that I can't avoid this request."

Chu Mohan shook his head regretfully, and opened the folding fan in his hand a few times.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to the two of you. The emperor's Ai family will go to inform you." The queen mother rubbed her head, glanced at the time and said, "It's already gone so soon." It's noon, and Han'er finally came here once. Let's stay here to have lunch with Aijia and Wanyu."

"Okay, how dare Mo Han refuse when the Queen Mother asks."

Chu Mohan was just watching and pointing at him, so he would naturally follow what the Queen Mother said.

Soon the queen mother passed on the lunch, and Shen Wanyu looked at the dishes on the big table.I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this royal family is extraordinary.The empress dowager's lunch only had so many dishes, and everyone who was looking at all the colors and flavors couldn't help but twitch their index fingers.

After the three of them had lunch together, it was urgent to find the ghost doctor.Shen Wanyu followed Chu Mohan and left to deal with this matter.The queen mother asked her confidant, Eunuch Qian, to go to the imperial study to invite the emperor to Shoukang Palace.

Shen Wanyu rubbed her chubby belly. She was a foodie who had no resistance to delicious food. She really felt ashamed.Thinking of the surprised look of the queen mother just now, her face turned red unconsciously, it was really embarrassing.

"That... where are we going?"

Shen Wanyu stopped and looked around.I was too absorbed in thinking about things just now, so I just followed him away.Unknowingly, he was brought to such a remote place, surrounded by rockery and trees.

"Little Yu'er, have you finally recovered?"

A deep and magnetic voice rang above her head with ridicule and banter.

Shen Wanyu frowned, raised her head slightly, and looked up at the tall and handsome man in front of her who looked like an evildoer.Those long and narrow red phoenixes were gazing at him tenderly, and that inexplicable throbbing feeling suddenly popped out again.

"Psimmon, why did you bring me here?"

Shen Wanyu turned her head away, as long as she didn't see that monstrous face, her heart would calm down, and she hated the feeling of looking up at others.

"Sister Wanyu, why aren't you called Brother Han?"

Chu Mohan lazily leaned against the stone wall of the rockery, his eyes with a slight smile fell on Shen Wanyu who was counting ants with her head down.

"Who is your sister? I'm not your sister. My mother only has one daughter, so don't mistake relatives." Shen Wanyu snorted softly, and gave Chu Mohan a supercilious look.

"Yes, this son is not your elder brother. This son is your savior. There is a saying that you should repay your life-saving grace with your body. Therefore, you are my wife."

Chu Mohan smiled and looked at Shen Wanyu whose expression had changed. Whether it was in the previous life or the present life, he still liked to tease her, and liked to see her blow up.

"Who is your wife, don't bark." Shen Wanyu's eyes widened, she stared fiercely at that handsome smiling face.Feeling hot on her cheeks, she thought her face must be very red now.

Chu Mohan's body suddenly leaned forward, and his arms quickly wrapped around her slender waist.Pressing her tightly against his chest, he lowered his head slightly.The straight nose is close to the tip of her small nose.

"I remember you said that you will protect me in the future. I once swore that the first woman who told me to protect me is my future wife."

The warm breath sprayed on her delicate cheeks, Shen Wanyu wanted to turn her head away a little awkwardly.But when his gaze fell into those deep, pitch-black eyes, it was like a quagmire and he couldn't get out of it.

"Little Yu'er, do you believe in past lives? The moment I saw you, I knew you were the one I was looking for in this life, so please don't think about running away from me. I won't give you this chance, You can only be mine."

The deep and gentle voice carried the magic power of bewitching people's hearts, and the domineering in every word was like a stone knocking on the lake of her peaceful heart, causing ripples one after another.

Shen Wanyu's clear and bright eyes were full of confusion, and her long eyelashes trembled.She didn't know what the complicated feeling in her heart represented at this moment, there was a little bit of sweetness but also some fear and worry.

In two lifetimes, she has never touched such a thing as love.The marriages of the big families in the previous life were all related to interests, just like her parents who had no chance to meet.She has seen too many couples in the family who respect each other as guests.She had already given up any fantasies about love, and gradually she also sealed her heart with ice.

But facing such a straightforward confession from the man in front of her, she felt confused for the first time.There seems to be a crack in the wall that has been built high in my heart.

"Psimmon, do you know what you're talking about? Do you understand me? Do you know what kind of husband I want?" Shen Wanyu frowned, and stretched out her hand to push away the man who was hugging her.This is in the palace, although it is relatively secluded here, it would be bad if someone in the palace sees it and writes something.

"I told you my purpose from the very beginning when I rescued you. I want your place to belong to me completely, don't you believe it?" Chu Mohan's arms were like iron clamps firmly Imprisoning her, his eyes were as hot as fire, as if they were going to burn her.

Shen Wanyu was taken aback for a moment, her eyes were exactly the same as those on the Empress Dowager's birthday that day.

"Have we met before?"

The words blurted out involuntarily, she blinked her eyes and looked at the man in front of her who made her heart throb inexplicably.Since when did her feelings for him change.

Chu Mohan smiled softly, and lowered his head close to her ear: "Would you believe me if I said that we knew each other in our previous life?"

Shen Wanyu's body froze, she raised her head to look at Chu Mohan in a daze, and after a while she slowly said, "I believe it!"

This time it was Chu Mohan's turn to be taken aback, he did not expect that Shen Wanyu would answer like this in the previous life.He only asked her this question after they fell in love in the previous life.And now that she chooses to believe him, does it mean that she also loves him in her heart.

"Why do you trust me?"

Shen Wanyu lowered her head and thought for a while, but in the end she still didn't answer Chu Mohan's question.Things like time travel can happen to her, what else is impossible in this world?It's just that she won't tell him about it.

"Do you need to lie to me? Firstly, I am not as high as you, and secondly, I have nothing to deceive you." Shen Wanyu shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"Who said you have nothing to deceive me?" Chu Mohan tightened his arms, and pressed the corner of his mouth against her soft lips: "The thing I most want to deceive is your heart, are you deceived by me?"

Shen Wanyu felt that her body was a little weak, and the roots of her ears were also warm.She stretched out her hand to push Chu Mohan, and lowered her head slightly: "Psimmon, if you really want to marry me, then you can only have me as your wife in this life, and you are not allowed to take concubines."

Chu Mohan's eyes lit up, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart: "We have rules in Prince Han's residence, men can only marry wives and not concubines."

Everyone in the world knows the relationship between King Han and Princess Han, but at that time they were envious of a group of famous ladies.The husband and wife are deeply in love, and it can be said that they are a couple for a lifetime.It's just that the only regret is that the two have been married for many years and have never had children.Later, she finally had a son, so she naturally doted on her ruthlessly.

Even today's emperor and queen dote on this son, Shen Wanyu heard about this from Qiu Zhu later.

"That..." Shen Wanyu lowered her head shyly, with a sly smile on her lips.

Taking advantage of Chu Mohan's distraction, she raised her foot and stepped on his foot fiercely.Chu Mohan didn't have any precautions, and let go of his hand with a cry of pain.

Shen Wanyu immediately picked up her pace, and quickly stepped back to widen the distance between the two of them.

"Hmph, dare to tease Miss Ben? This kick is just to pay you back."

Shen Wanyu admitted that she had a slight heartbeat just now, but it didn't make her lose her mind.She can't afford to lose love. When she accepts the other person, she does it wholeheartedly. There is no room for a grain of sand in her eyes.

"You girl." Chu Mohan sighed helplessly, why was he still so defensive.Just now he clearly felt that her heart was shaken, but in the blink of an eye she armed herself again.

It seems that his road to heart attack is still very long, but he has plenty of time to spend with her.

Shen Wanyu turned around suddenly, turning her back to Chu Mohan.Her eyes fell on a corner of the rockery, and her tone was unprecedentedly relaxed.

"I'm waiting for you to open my heart."

After she finished speaking, she didn't move her head away, but the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.love?Maybe it wasn't so scary if it was him.

Chu Mohan frowned, and looked at the smaller figure gradually going away with complicated eyes.

"It's said that women have needles in their hearts, which is really unpredictable."

Ying, who had been standing not far from the rockery and was in charge of monitoring the surroundings, heard the whisper of his master.He staggered and almost fell to the ground.In fact, he really wanted to say, master, your heart is also very unpredictable.

He really didn't know what was so good about Miss Shen's family that the master liked her so much.That sturdy temperament is really unflattering.

"Ying, go back to the palace."

Chu Mohan withdrew his gaze, and glanced lightly in the direction of the shadow.After speaking, he left in the other direction.

Shen Wanyu walked back along the path, and tragically found that she was lost.It was the first time she hated the size of the palace, and couldn't help but scold Chu Mohan in her heart, why did she take her to such a remote place for nothing.

Shen Wanyu looked around, looking for a building she was familiar with.Suddenly, a plain pleated skirt of violet trimmed with gold thread floated past behind a rockery, and her eyes narrowed slightly.Stepping lightly, followed carefully.

Getting closer to the rockery, she could faintly hear the conversation between two people from the rockery.It can be heard from the voice that it is two women.

"Ms. Zhen Zhaoyi, I have already done what you asked me to do." A flattering female voice came from behind the rockery.

"Well, you did a good job. This is a reward for you, and I hope that no one else will know about this, understand?" A somewhat lazy but undeniably sweet female voice suddenly sounded.

"Your servant understands, Madam Zhaoyi, please don't worry. There is one more thing, Concubine Shu seems to have discovered Xiaoluzi's place. Now her things have to be checked by her confidantes, and only if there is no problem will Concubine Shu use them. .We have to start, it seems a bit difficult."

"It's enough for Xiaoluzi to stop him. The thing in Concubine Shu's belly will not sit still if I don't need to do it. We just have to wait and watch the show. The most important thing now is how to get rid of Miss Shen's family." Hmph, I didn't destroy her last time, since she entered the palace this time, I will naturally not let her go."

A fierce smile appeared on Zhen Zhaoyi's clear and beautiful face, which made her look a bit ferocious.

Shen Wanyu frowned tightly, she really didn't know why this Zhen Zhaoyi targeted her so much.Sure enough, what happened last time was related to Zhen Zhaoyi, she clenched her fist tightly under the long sleeves of the gorgeous palace dress.

She has never been a kind person, now that she knows that someone is going to deal with her.Then don't blame her for being rude, there is a saying that all troubles should be strangled at the source.

Shen Wanyu glanced coldly at the rockery, then turned and left quietly.Zhen Zhaoyi, the war between you and me has just begun.I hope you won't be as stupid as Second Aunt and Second Sister, otherwise the days from now on will not be fun.

Shen Wanyu looked up at the surrounding environment and sighed.Who will tell her which direction Shoukun Palace is in?

In the end, because she had been out for too long, Nanny Yu and Qiuzhu led people to search all over the palace before finding her.The news that Shen Wanyu was lost in the palace spread quickly in the harem as if she had grown wings.

Shen Wanyu lay on the bed, rubbing her sore legs.He scolded Chu Mohan again in his heart, and decided to give him a hard time when he came to the palace tomorrow to find her.
