Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 105 Prince cousin, what are you doing?
Shen Wanyu didn't sleep very well on the first night in the palace, maybe because she just changed a place.It wasn't until the middle of the night that she fell into a drowsy sleep.

In the morning of the next day, she washed up again under the service of Nanny and Qiuzhu, and went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother.As soon as he stepped into the inner room, he heard a light cough coming from inside.

"Let's put it, Aijia has no appetite." The Queen Mother's voice could not conceal the exhaustion, she glanced at the table full of meals and really had no appetite.

"Empress Dowager, you have to take some as much as you want. You need to drink medicine later."

Nanny Gui filled a bowl of soup and persuaded softly: "Look, this is your favorite ham and fresh bamboo shoot soup. Let's have a sip to warm our stomach."

The Queen Mother's expression was still sleepy, and she didn't pick it up because it was her favorite food on weekdays.

"Empress Dowager, Wan Yu has come to greet you."

Shen Wanyu lifted the glazed bead curtain and walked in with a faint smile on her face.Seeing the Empress Dowager leaning on the soft pillow a little tiredly, she was a little depressed.

"Yu'er is here, just come over for breakfast." The queen mother smiled a little when she heard Shen Wanyu's voice.

"With so many delicious foods, Wanyu is lucky." Shen Wanyu glanced at the various dishes on the table, and already had some ideas in her heart.These dishes are a bit greasy, of course the Queen Mother doesn't like it.

"I know you like to eat, and no one will grab this table from you." Seeing her greedy look, the queen mother suddenly felt much better.

"I ate everything, so what will the queen mother eat?" Shen Wanyu walked to the queen mother's side, and stretched out her hand to help her get off the bed.She tilted her head, showing the coquettish attitude of a little girl.

"Aijia doesn't have much appetite, you can just eat." The Queen Mother looked at Shen Wanyu with a smile, and reached out and tapped her forehead.

"That can't be done." Shen Wanyu's small face immediately became serious, and she pouted slightly: "The queen mother's breakfast is very important, this person can't skip dinner even if he doesn't eat dinner. Breakfast is what we provide for the day The source of nutrition, if you don’t eat breakfast, your stomach will feel uncomfortable for a long time and you will easily get sick.”

The queen mother was slightly taken aback, and then asked a little funny: "Is that really the case? Why hasn't the Ai family heard of it?"

"Of course it's true. Even if Wan Yu had a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to lie to the Queen Mother." Shen Wan Yu nodded quickly, and she said there was nothing wrong.

"Okay, Aijia believes in you. Press harder, I'm afraid your little neck won't be able to hang on your end." The Queen Mother joked, and sat down with her at the table.

Glancing lightly, she frowned slightly: "Aijia still doesn't have much appetite."

"Since the Queen Mother has given Wanyu all the delicious food on this table, then Wanyu will naturally give the Queen Mother a breakfast." Shen Wanyu blinked at the Queen Mother twice, and then looked at Nanny Gui who was standing by the side : "Mother Gui, is there a kitchen in this hall?"

Nanny Gui was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately realized: "Yes, the Queen Mother has her own small kitchen."

"Then please Nanny Gui to take me there." Shen Wanyu smiled faintly, she turned her head to look at the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please wait for a while."

The queen mother nodded, she really wanted to know what this girl was going to do again.Shen Wanyu led Qiuzhu to follow Nanny Gui and walked towards the small kitchen.

Shen Wanyu followed Nanny Gui to the small kitchen of Shoukun Palace, and she screened everyone away.Only Qiuzhu was left, and she glanced at the small kitchen.There are all kinds of ingredients and cooking utensils are also complete.

"Miss, are you going to cook breakfast for the empress dowager yourself?" Qiuzhu stood behind Shen Wanyu and looked at her in surprise. She had always known that her lady could cook.But I have never seen her do it by herself, and she asks Chunlan and others to do whatever she wants to eat on weekdays.

"That's natural. I have to cook the meals for the Empress Dowager myself." Shen Wanyu nodded, and she walked to the shelf where the ingredients were stored.I found a carrot, potatoes and some vegetables.

"The queen mother's appetite is not very good, one is because the weather is too hot, and the other is because the breakfast delivered by the imperial dining room is too greasy."

Shen Wanyu picked up a kitchen knife and cut the carrot into fine pieces with swift movements.Qiuzhu also helped to clean up the green vegetables she picked out, and started to fight.

The two were busy while chatting, and soon Shen Wanyu made the Queen Mother's breakfast.

"Bring over the bigger food box." Shen Wanyu scooped up a spoonful of cooked radish and egg porridge, very satisfied.

Qiuzhu hurriedly brought over the food box, and she put four cold dishes and a small pot of hot wrinkle into the food box.Then she followed Shen Wanyu and left the small kitchen.

As soon as Shen Wanyu took Qiuzhu into the inner room, she heard a burst of laughter from inside.She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, it seemed that the queen mother seemed to be in a good mood at this time.

"Empress Dowager, your breakfast is here." Shen Wanyu carried the food box and walked in with a smile.When he saw the people in the inner room, he was taken aback for a moment and then reacted immediately.

She put the food box on the table, and quickly saluted: "Wanyu greets the emperor, the empress, and the prince."

"Get up." The emperor seemed to be in a good mood, with a smile on his face all the time.He glanced at the food box Shen Wanyu put on the table with his dark eyes, and asked curiously, "What's in it?"

Shen Wanyu stood up straight, her cheeks flushed slightly and she said in embarrassment: "This morning, the empress dowager gave Wanyu her breakfast, so Wanyu made a breakfast for the empress dowager herself."

"Let Ai's family see what Wanyu has cooked for Ai's family." The queen mother stood up, walked to the table and sat down.

Shen Wanyu quickly opened the food box and brought out the small pot containing the hot porridge.Afterwards, she placed the four plates of side dishes that she had mixed on the table. Seeing that the four plates of side dishes she had mixed with the food on the table were really not at the same level.

"Empress Dowager, don't eat too greasy things for breakfast. Some light ones are easier to digest, so Wanyu cooked a pot of radish and egg flower porridge for you. I also mixed four delicious side dishes, mashed potato shreds, red oil You can try vegetarian tripe shreds, ice water white fungus, and almond tofu."

Shen Wanyu scooped up a bowl of porridge and put it in front of the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager looked very pretty at the red, yellow and yellow in the porridge.There is also a light rice fragrance wafting out, and my appetite has improved a lot.

She picked up the spoon and took a sip, her eyes lit up and she couldn't help admiring: "This porridge is not bad, it tastes light and delicious."

Shen Wanyu picked up the silver chopsticks on the side, picked up some shredded potatoes and put them on the plate in front of the Queen Mother: "This is shredded potatoes, sweet and sour, with some spicy taste, very appetizing."

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction and took a sip. From her stretched brows, Shen Wanyu knew that the queen mother liked her breakfast very much.

"Your Majesty has only just come to court early, and you probably haven't eaten breakfast yet. You all stay at Ai's house to have your meal today, and try the breakfast that we Wanyu made with our own hands."

The Empress Dowager deliberately bit down on the word "hands-on", and then asked Nanny Gui to fill the bowls and chopsticks on the table.

Naturally, the emperor and queen would not reject the queen mother's intention, and sat down next to the queen mother.Prince Chu Ziheng sat next to the queen, and he glanced lightly at the woman sitting opposite him who was eating with her head bowed and not speaking.

He raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a meaningful smile.His little cousin seemed to be really different from before. When did that unruly and domineering young lady of the Shen family actually cook by herself.And her words and deeds are different from before.

Shen Wanyu felt Chu Ziheng's gaze, but she still lowered her head and chose to ignore it.She didn't have much feeling for her cousin.In his memory, he didn't seem to like this unruly and willful cousin very much. If the queen and queen mother didn't like him, he might not even want to talk to her.But now he keeps looking at him like this, what kind of trouble is he doing.

"I didn't expect Wanyu to have such cooking skills. This dish is better than the imperial chef in the palace." The emperor put down his chopsticks and was used to delicacies from mountains and seas.I suddenly ate a meal of porridge and side dishes, I really can't tell what it's like.

"Wanyu doesn't dare to compare with the imperial chefs in the palace. She just likes to eat. I just studied it myself." Shen Wanyu put down the bowls and chopsticks, she still knows her own cooking skills.What she does is just a coincidence.

"I heard from the queen mother that you have a way to invite a ghost doctor?" The emperor raised his head, and his eyes fell on Shen Wanyu.There is a calmness in the eyes, no emotion can be seen.

"Yes, because Wanyu always likes to go out. I met a ghost doctor by accident. He didn't know why he insisted on taking him as his apprentice. At that time, I thought I met a strange old man." Shen Wanyu pouted slightly, It seems to be recalling the scene at that time.There seemed to be a hint of reluctance in his tone,

She was right, it was indeed Baili Nanzheng who insisted on taking her as his apprentice.But when these words were heard by the emperor and the empress dowager, it had a different meaning.

"You girl, the ghost doctor doesn't accept apprentices easily. I don't know what kind of luck you have, but let him accept you." The emperor looked at Shen Wanyu helplessly, he didn't even want to send his daughter to others Woolen cloth.

"Well, now that I think about it, I'm quite lucky. The master's medical skills are very good, I just learned from him for a while. Now I can solve some minor illnesses by myself." Shen Wanyu raised her chin slightly, exquisitely A proud smile appeared on Mei's little face.

"In this case, then I will leave this matter to you and Mo Han. After the matter is completed, I will give you a big reward." The emperor is in a good mood, and now there is something in his heart that he was not sure about. a bit.

"Then Wanyu thanked the emperor first." Shen Wanyu immediately stood up, blessed her body and thanked her.

"Okay, I still have some papers to read, so I'm leaving first." The emperor glanced at the time, stood up and said goodbye to the queen mother.

"Well, the emperor's state affairs are important, but you should pay more attention to rest." The queen mother nodded and asked the emperor to be sent out.

"Mother, the Hundred Flowers Banquet will be held in a while. My daughter-in-law would like to discuss it with you."

The maid removed the breakfast from the table, and the empress helped the empress dowager to go to the Nuan Pavilion.Shen Wanyu was about to stand up and follow, but was stopped by a slender figure.

"Grandmother, queen mother. Cousin Wanyu entered the palace and I haven't accompanied her well. Today I will take her around the palace myself."

A deep and gentle voice sounded, and Shen Wanyu raised her head in surprise to look at Chu Ziheng with a faint smile on her face.

The queen and queen mother glanced at each other upon hearing this.

"Well, all right. Then you take good care of your cousin." The queen nodded, and then helped the queen mother to leave.

Shen Wanyu frowned, looking at the two who left with reluctance in her eyes.She really didn't know what she had to talk about with this cousin of the prince. Could it be that the two of them just kept silent all the way?

"Cousin, let's go. I'll accompany you to the Royal Garden."

Chu Ziheng looked at Shen Wanyu who was full of reluctance with a smile, turned around and walked away first after speaking.

Shen Wanyu stood where she was, looking at the slender figure in front of her.Her bright eyes gradually became deep, and then returned to their usual clarity.

The two walked in the imperial garden one after the other, Shen Wanyu was always two steps away from him.The two of them didn't speak a word along the way, Qiuzhu and Nanny Yu followed closely behind, not daring to get too close to the front.

Looking at this imperial garden, a hundred flowers are blooming, gorgeous and rich peonies, elegant and refined jasmine, and all kinds of flowers compete for beauty.She sighed in her heart, the flowers in the imperial garden were like the concubines in the harem.

"What are you sighing for? Is this different from Shen Wanyu from before?"

Shen Wanyu, who was a little lost in thought, heard that warm and watery voice next to her ears.She was slightly taken aback, and Meng turned around to find that Chu Ziheng had stood by her side at some point.

She took a step back indiscriminately, opening the distance between the two of them.

"Cousin Prince, no one will stay the same forever." Shen Wanyu raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a distant and polite smile.

Chu Ziheng raised his eyebrows, his deep eyes quietly stared at Shen Wanyu who was indifferent in front of him.Xiao Bo's lips were slightly pursed, and his gaze fell on her with an inquiring look.

It took him a long time to look back, and there was some ambiguity in his gentle voice: "You are right, no one will remain the same forever. It's just that changes can be divided into good and bad. Do you think your changes are good or bad?"

Shen Wanyu's eyes turned cold, and the smile on the corner of her mouth froze: "What is the standard for judging whether this is good or bad? If it suits you, bad is good. If it doesn't suit you, even good is bad. And for For Wan Yu, good and bad are just an evaluation. I just need to guard what I want to protect. If someone touches my Nilin, I don't care whether I will become the bad person in everyone's mouth. "

The hot wind blew by, and the delicate flowers trembled gently with the wind.Silence spread between the two, Shen Wanyu stubbornly raised her chin and looked directly at Chu Zimo's eyes as deep as the sea.

"Hehe, Cousin Wanyu, you're so excited. I'm just asking casually." Chu Ziheng withdrew his gaze, and a smile as warm as a spring breeze curled up on the corner of his mouth.

"Cousin Prince, I'm a little tired and I'm going back first." Shen Wanyu didn't like being with him so alone, so she found an excuse to leave.

It's a pity that some people just don't want her to get what they want, so Chu Ziheng stopped her.

"Cousin Wanyu doesn't seem to like the prince very much?"

Shen Wanyu lowered her head, and tightly squeezed her little hands under her long palace sleeves.If it wasn't for the issue of identity, she would have drugged him long ago.

"No, who wouldn't like you because you are so handsome and distinguished. It's just that Wanyu knows herself, and the prince's cousin will never like a savage woman like Wanyu."

Shen Wanyu took a deep breath, trying to make her voice sound sincere.If there is no accident, this is the future emperor.She can't offend anything.

"Really?" A smile flashed across Chu Ziheng's deep eyes. This cousin obviously disliked him but could still say such things against his will, which really made things difficult for her.

For some reason, he didn't seem to hate this cousin as much as before.Some even thought she was very interesting, so he couldn't help but want to tease her.

"Yes, look at the Queen Mother's birthday. The young lady who played the piano and my second sister obviously fell in love with the crown prince's cousin. Those two are both talented and beautiful women who are famous in Dakun. It can be seen that the prince How important is my cousin in the hearts of all the ladies in Da Kun."

Shen Wanyu herself almost vomited to death, and she became more and more proficient in this flattering words.

"It turns out that the crown prince is so important in Dakun's daughter's heart, so is it the same in Wanyu's cousin's heart?" Chu Ziheng raised his eyebrows, and looked at Shen Wanyu who was counting ants with a half smile.

For the two women she mentioned, he still has an impression in his mind.After all, men are more impressed with beauties than ordinary people, especially at that time, he knew that he was preparing for his selection of the princess.For women who performed talents, he naturally took a bit of heart.

Shen Wanyu ground her teeth annoyed, she raised her head to look at Chu Ziheng's handsome face.No matter how you look at it, you feel that the shallow smile on his face is an eyesore.

"Brother Prince, you are really weird today. You obviously don't like Wanyu, why did you stop Wanyu from leaving?"

Shen Wanyu had had enough, His Royal Highness's mind was too difficult to guess.She simply opened the window and said the truth, so as not to waste too many brain cells by guessing.

"That's wrong, cousin Wanyu." Chu Ziheng hooked the corner of his mouth, stretched out his finger and shook: "No one will never change. You said this yourself. I hated you in the past because You are too unruly and domineering, and now I suddenly don't hate you."

Shen Wanyu stared at Chu Ziheng with wide eyes. At this time, he lost his usual warm and moist temperament.There was a trace of ridicule in those deep eyes, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also a bit rascal.

Shen Wanyu fell silent, she had shot herself in the foot with a rock.

"Cousin Prince, I don't like you." Shen Wanyu pursed her lips, then raised her head and looked at Chu Ziheng coldly: "I don't know what is the reason for Cousin Prince to say such words now? It doesn't matter whether it's boring or fun. Wanyu doesn't care, but I just hope that in the future, the cousin of the crown prince will stop blocking Wanyu like today, and it won't be good for you and me if someone with a heart sees it."

Dakun is currently an upright and mature emperor, although he has established a prince.But this battle for the reserve position has been bloody and cruel since ancient times.Until the last moment, no one knows who will end up in that position.So all along, both the prince and the princes have been very careful in their words and deeds.At least there are no too bad rumors circulating.

Chu Ziheng was slightly surprised. Is this little cousin threatening him?Evoking the good-looking corners of the mouth, the desire to conquer in the royal blood is aroused.He looked at Shen Wanyu with dark eyes, and then moved away.

Shen Wanyu raised her head and nodded slightly towards Chu Ziheng.Then she walked past him and walked towards the Palace of Compassion and Ning where Princess Huimin lived.

She didn't want to stay here any longer to talk to this out-of-control prince's cousin, so she couldn't help but walk a little faster.Just after walking a few steps, I heard that gentle voice behind me.

"Cousin Wanyu, do you think it would be good if I told the Queen Mother and Queen Mother to marry you as the Crown Princess?"

The steps under Shen Wanyu's feet stopped, and the hands under the palace sleeves were clenched tightly.She straightened her back and said coldly, "If His Royal Highness wants to sit in that position, you will definitely not do so."

After she finished speaking, she walked away quickly without looking back, her head was a little messy at this time.From Chu Ziheng's tone, she didn't hear a trace of joke but also not much seriousness, which made her feel a little uneasy.

Chu Ziheng looked at the slender figure who walked away quickly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually faded away.She was right, if he wanted to take that position.The Crown Princess will definitely not be her, even though Beining Hou's Mansion and Zhen Guo General's Mansion are two behemoths.But once he marries Shen Wanyu as the crown princess, then these two families will definitely be touched in the future.

Besides, both of these two families are only civil servants, so he needs a strong military officer as his backing.Therefore, he had already made up his mind about the candidate for the crown princess.

"His Royal Highness."

A blue figure flashed out from nowhere, kneeling on the ground on one knee.

"What's the matter?" Chu Ziheng withdrew his gaze, and his handsome face returned to its usual gentleness.There was a trace of coolness and majesty in the voice.

The man in blue stood up and whispered something in his ear.Chu Ziheng's face changed slightly, and a cold killing intent flashed in his deep eyes.

"Okay, very good. I really didn't expect that they dared to use their brains there."

Chu Ziheng smiled coldly, and waved his long arm lightly: "Come on, follow me to Tingxuan Xiaozhu's place."

"Yes, Prince." The man in blue immediately bowed and said respectfully.

Chu Ziheng turned his head and glanced at the direction where Shen Wanyu disappeared, his eyes dimmed.

The wind blows, blowing a piece of delicate and beautiful flowers.The faint scent of flowers floats in the air with the wind, under a tall and straight tree.A man in a moon-white brocade robe stood facing the wind, his black hair was blown up by the wind, revealing his handsome face like a monster.
