Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 146 Shen Wanyu's Tangle
Shen Wanyu took Huayi's cup, put it under her nose and smelled it.A very faint scent of medicine came, and that smell was mixed with the faint scent of the woman's body.If it wasn't for her sensitivity to the scent of the medicine and its sensitivity, otherwise she wouldn't be able to smell it at all.

"The smell of purple spirit grass still remains in this cup. It should be included in the medicine they gave you. As far as I remember, there are not many poisons that use purple spirit grass. When I go back today to check, I will enter the palace tomorrow and I will tell you when the time comes."

Mu Zhirui nodded, and she glanced at the cup in Shen Wanyu's hand: "I'll keep it with you for the rest of my life, maybe there will be other discoveries. I heard the voices of those two people, they should be eunuchs."

"There are only a few people in this palace who can attack you so unscrupulously. Just pay more attention to this matter, and the Hundred Flowers Banquet will be held in a few days. Are you ready?"

Shen Wanyu handed the cup to Qiu Zhu, asking her to put it away properly.After returning home, she had to do some experiments to know exactly what kind of drug Mu Zhirui was drugged with.Sometimes starting with medicine can also find out who is behind the scenes.

"Well, it has been prepared for a long time. I just don't know if I will meet someone with more outstanding talents. After all, Dakun is a big country and there are many talents. For example, your second sister, I heard that her dance got a lot of attention at the Queen Mother's birthday. Her Majesty's approval."

Mu Zhirui personally poured a cup of tea for Shen Wanyu, and before she came, she asked people to investigate everything that happened in Dakun during this period.Knowing that Shen Wanqing performed a dance that amazed everyone on the Empress Dowager's birthday, from the person who reported her, she quickly thought of Zhang Ziyi's water sleeve dance and that outfit in Flying Daggers.

She asked this sentence today because she wanted to test something.If that Shen Wanqing was like her, it would be difficult to deal with.

"You actually know about this. It seems that that dance really made her famous."

The corner of Shen Wanyu's mouth twitched into a sneer, Shen Wanqing and Second Aunt were really good.But that water sleeve dance amazed everyone, wouldn't her dancing in neon clothes make her even more glamorous during the Hundred Flowers Feast?
"Yeah, it's a pity that I don't have the chance to see it with my own eyes. Fortunately, what I'm preparing is not a dance, otherwise I will face off with your second sister. I really don't have much confidence."

Mu Zhirui originally planned to dance, but after getting the news.She prepared other performances, and it seemed that she made the right decision.

"It's a good thing you didn't prepare to dance. My second sister has liked dancing since she was a child. Although I don't like her, I have to say that she dances really well. It can be said that few people in Dakun can catch up with her." , and this time she is also ready to dance."

Shen Wanyu thought for a while, then suddenly smiled.Leaning close to Mu Zhirui's ear, she whispered: "I'll tell you quietly, this time she prepared a dance with elegant beauty, and it seems to have a beautiful name called Dance of Neon Clothes. Her dance clothes and headgear hairstyle are very It was designed, and she is preparing to shine at the Hundred Flowers Banquet."

Mu Zhirui was slightly taken aback, once was it a coincidence, what about the two times?She knew about the dance of neon clothes, she had seen it in a book.

"Your second sister is really amazing. Did she design all these dances by herself?"

Shen Wanyu shook her head, she picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, "Of course she didn't design it herself, Second Aunt invited Boss Shang from Drunken Dance Hall to design it for her."

If Shen Wanyu really has that ability, she will suspect that she also came here through time travel.It's a pity that she knows that Shen Wanqing is very smart, but from her speech and behavior, it can be seen that she is definitely a local girl.Seeing her hypocritical appearance, I really can't wait to go up and punch her a few times.

"Boss Shang of Zui Wu Xuan?"

When Mu Zhirui heard Shen Wanyu's words, she was slightly taken aback.Even though she has determined many things, she couldn't help being a little excited when she heard her lewd words.If she guessed correctly, that Boss Shang should be the same person as her.

"Yeah, why do I think you're a little excited?"

Shen Wanyu looked at those charming cat eyes with unconcealable excitement, and she looked at Mu Zhirui suspiciously.In her opinion, Mu Zhirui should be a calm and introverted person.Seeing her like this, there should be some reason.

Mu Zhirui blushed slightly, looking a little embarrassed.She pursed her lips slightly, and said embarrassedly: "Well, I'm actually a little interested in Zuiwuxuan. I've never been to that kind of place. I'm a little curious."

Naturally, she would not tell Shen Wanyu what was in her heart, what if she regarded herself as a monster.She could only tell a lie, but it wasn't a lie.She has never been to this kind of place, and she would like to see it if she can.

Shen Wanyu didn't think too much about it, a princess who has been raised in the harem.Naturally, I have never been to that kind of place, and it is normal to be curious about it.

"It's okay, I'll take you to see it when I have a chance. That business owner is very nice. She's about the same age as us, and she's easy to get along with."

Thinking of Shang Rui, she remembered that it was time for her to send her clothes to the Hou Mansion today.She has to go back quickly, and she won't be able to touch her.

"Really? If you have a chance, you must take me to see it."

Shen Wanyu put down the cup in her hand, smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then we'll make a deal. I'll take you there when I have a chance. I still have some things to do in the afternoon, so I'll go back first. I'll enter the palace again tomorrow, and we'll meet again at that time." Research."

"Okay, then I won't keep you."

Mu Zhirui stood up and rubbed her forehead.Ask Huayi to send her away, and she is going to go back and lie down for a while.She needs to organize her thoughts well, she should think about what she will do next.She had to find a chance to leave the palace and go to the Drunken Dance Hall to meet the boss Shang.

Just as Shen Wanyu walked to the door of the inner room, she suddenly remembered.I came this time to treat the rash on Mu Zhirui's face.

"By the way, the bottle of detoxification pill I gave you that night. You take two pills a day, and it is estimated that your face will be healed before the Hundred Flowers Banquet."

Mu Zhirui sat on the bed, and when she heard Shen Wanyu's words, she raised her head and looked at her.

"I see, thank you."

"We are allies, so we don't need to be so polite. You are good, we are all good, aren't we?"

Shen Wanyu smiled slightly, and left with Qiuzhu after speaking.Huayi hurriedly followed and personally sent her out of the room.

The three of them came out of the room, and Huayi walked up to Shen Wanyu.She bent down and gave her a salute, and said sincerely: "My servant thanked Miss Shen for saving my princess. The princess is actually having a very bad life. I can see that the princess treats Miss Shen differently from others. It's definitely not because of the difference between you two. The princess has no friends since she was a child. The most caring ones are me and Shiqing, the two court ladies. I know I shouldn't say these words. But for my princess, I have to say it."

Huayi took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.She raised her head and looked at Shen Wanyu with tenacious eyes: "I hope, I hope Miss Shen can try to become friends with my princess, so that"

Shen Wanyu narrowed her eyes slightly, quietly staring at the picture in front of her that was tenaciously looking at herself.Before Huayi finished speaking, she was interrupted.

"Huayi, you are a loyal servant. But you must understand one thing in your heart. Some things are beyond your control. After all, there is a difference between a master and a servant. I know what you say. As for your request, I will not say more What. Whether your princess and I can be friends depends on our fate with her."

Huayi pursed her lips, Weiwei Cui lowered her head and blessed Fu's body and said: "Your maidservant knows."

Shen Wanyu sighed inwardly as she looked at the somewhat lonely painting.No matter how calm he was, he was just a teenager after all.

"Okay, I'm going back. You should also go back and serve your princess. You have to remember that this is Dakun's harem. Those concubines' eyeliner is everywhere. If you don't want to cause trouble for your princess, you must be careful. Be careful."

After Shen Wanyu finished speaking, she turned around and took Qiuzhu away.That's all she can say.I hope Huayi can understand what she means.

Huayi looked at the two people who were gradually leaving, and what Shen Wanyu said just now echoed in her mind.It took her a long time to withdraw her thoughts, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up into a faint smile.

She understood what Shen Wanyu meant, what she said just now.If people hear it, they will definitely think that their princess is trying to win over Shen Wanyu.To put it nicely, the two are about the same age and can become friends if they get along.To put it in a bad way, it means that the princess of her family wants to use Shen Wanyu to win over Beining Hou Mansion as her backing.

This person has already started wooing people before he became the concubine of the crown prince. If he becomes the concubine of the crown prince, he might do something.Those who want to get rid of her princess must want to get rid of her even more.Yesterday was just a poison that caused a rash on the young lady's face, what about the next time?
Thinking of this possibility, she felt a chill in her heart.She looked around and was relieved to see that there was nothing there.It seems that she was too careless, and she will be more careful in this harem in the future.

After tidying up the expressions on his face, the painting returned to his usual calmness and walked back to the room.

Shen Wanyu left the palace and went straight back to the Hou Mansion.Sure enough, Shang Rui had already delivered the clothes, and she was drinking tea with the old lady in the old lady's yard.

Shen Wanyu sat on the soft couch in her room, looking at her fair face.She really miscalculated today, entering the palace in too much rush.Forget about the trap she set for Second Aunt, looking at her smooth cheeks.Some headaches.

In the second aunt's eyes, she should be covered in rashes at this time, but she was too anxious to enter the palace today.Forgot about this matter, how can this lie be fulfilled now.

Qiuzhu and Chunlan stood aside, looking at the frowning look of their young lady in the mirror, a little dazed.The lady looked very happy when she came back just now, why did she change her appearance just now.

"Miss, what's the matter with you? Aren't you going to the old lady?"

Qiuzhu was pushed out by Chunlan and the others, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward to ask.

Shen Wanyu sighed when she heard Qiuzhu's words.With a wrinkled face, he looked sadly at Qiuzhu and Chunlan.

"Look at my face."

Shen Wanyu pointed to her cheek so that they could see clearly.

Qiuzhu, Chunlan and the others glanced blankly, the lady is still the same as before.The skin is still so good and looks so dewy and smooth.

Shen Wanyu looked at the bewildered looks of these people, and gave them a supercilious look.

"Have you forgotten the scene we played for Second Aunt before?"

After hearing Shen Wanyu's words, Qiuzhu and the others suddenly realized.That's right, the miss let the second aunt misunderstand that she had a rash on her face.Prevent her from making some small moves before the young lady goes to the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

just now
Looking at the young lady's fair cheeks, several people looked at the sky speechlessly.The empress dowager's summons made the young lady's drama for the past few days all in vain.

"Miss, why don't you continue to follow the plan. Anyway, Second Aunt doesn't know what happened to you in the palace."

The room fell into silence, and Chunlan suddenly spoke.Anyway, the second aunt didn't know whether the lady was wearing a veil when she entered the palace, as long as she didn't know, it would be fine.

"It would have been possible to do so, but..."

When Qiuzhu heard Chunlan's words, she bit her lips.Glancing at Shen Wanyu, she sighed and said, "Miss met the third princess who was at odds with her in the imperial garden of the palace."

"Ah! Why did you meet her again? Is the lady okay?"

Upon hearing this, Chunlan quickly looked at Shen Wanyu.There was worry in her eyes, but she remembered that the last time her daughter fell into the water and caught a cold because of meeting the third princess.As soon as the young lady meets her, there must be no good things.

"I'm fine, let's think of a countermeasure."

Shen Wanyu held her chin with one hand, and tapped her chin lightly with her fingers.She rolled her eyes, thinking of ways to make up for it.

What can she do to reduce second aunt's guard against her, she doesn't want her plan to fail.If she went to her grandmother like this, she was seen by the third and fourth younger sisters.The third sister will definitely go and talk to the second aunt, but she doesn't know what the fourth sister who has no sense of existence will do.

In the past, she still wanted to cooperate with the fourth sister, but after the incident with the fourth aunt.She knew that she would never be able to become allies in the Hou's mansion with her fourth sister.Besides, with a powerful mother like Fourth Aunt, Fourth Sister will not be an easy one.

"Miss, Yu Shui thinks you don't need to be so troubled at all. Who saw the rash on Miss?"

Shen Wanyu was taken aback when she heard Yu Shui's words.Then I laughed, yeah, who saw her rash.She was just giving Second Aunt a wrong reminder, it doesn't matter if she appears and walks around the Hou's mansion like this now.

"Haha, yes. I really thought too much, but I let myself in."

She looked at Yushui with a smile, and couldn't help admiring: "I really didn't expect that our Yushui is so powerful. One sentence solved my troubles."

Shen Wanyu stood up from the chair, and hugged Yu Shui.

The corner of Yu Shui's mouth twitched slightly, she was already used to her young lady's occasional convulsions.She smiled awkwardly, stretched out her hand and pushed Shen Wanyu away.

"Miss, pay attention to your image."

Shen Wanyu looked at Yu Shui's slightly red face, and let go of her with a smile.After arranging her hair and clothes, she waved her hand.

"Yushui and Qiuzhu follow me to Anluyuan. By the way, bring this with you."

She took out two paper bags from a box, and then left Yuyuan with the two of them.

In the warm pavilion of Anluyuan, Shang Rui sat down and drank tea with the kind-hearted old man on the couch while chatting.But her eyes kept looking towards the door from time to time, why hasn't Shen Wanyu come here yet?

It stands to reason that when she heard her coming to deliver clothes, that girl would definitely come over.

The old lady was sitting on the couch, holding a delicate teacup in her hand.She put the tea cup to her mouth and blew gently to blow away the tea leaves floating on the surface.She could see Shang Rui's expression, her absent-mindedness was too obvious.

That day she heard that the girl Wan Yu had slapped her, so today she kept her when she delivered the clothes.She had to know whether Shang Rui had any intention of revenge against her girl, she couldn't let her girl be in any danger.

"Boss Shang, I think you are about the same age as my girl Wanyu, how about my old man calling you girl Shang?"

Shang Rui turned her eyes from the door back to the old lady, she pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Of course, this is Shang Rui's blessing. The old lady has a kind face, very similar to my deceased grandma. "

When Shang Rui said this, she really felt touched.The last time she saw the old lady's attitude towards Shen Wanyu, she knew that the old lady loved her from the bottom of her heart.That girl Shen Wanyu is really happy to have a grandmother who loves her so much.

In her previous life, her grandmother loved her so much. Seeing the way the old lady loved Shen Wanyu, Shang Rui reminded her of her deceased grandmother.In addition, she had a good impression of the old lady.

Seeing the flash of loneliness in Shang Rui's eyes, the old lady suddenly felt pity for the child in front of her.She is the same age as her family's Wanyu, but she has already started running a Drunken Dance Hall by herself.

She had also heard of this Drunken Dance Hall, and it seemed that the women in it were just performing arts and not selling themselves.The people who go there are some well-known people, and I heard that the business seems to be very good.At her age, it's already amazing to be able to make a business like that.

"Really, I think Shang girl can manage such a business at such a young age. It's really amazing, unlike the girls in my family who are still like children. I don't know who else is in Shang girl's family ?”

The old lady put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Shang Rui with softer eyes.

Shang Rui thought of her family in this life, her eyes dimmed a bit.Those people are not worthy to be her Shang Rui's family members at all, they are a group of cold-blooded and ruthless people who only value power.

"After my grandmother died, I was left alone."

When the old lady heard this, she felt even more pity for her.She also realized that her question seemed to have touched something Shang Rui didn't want to think about, and she couldn't bear it.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was not as natural as before, Shang Rui lowered her head slightly and fiddled with the teacup in her hand.No one can see the cold light flashing in her eyes, which is completely different from her usual lively and sunny appearance.

"Shang girl, if you don't mind, then you can call me grandmother just like Wanyu."

Shang Rui raised her head abruptly, and looked at the smiling and loving old lady sitting on top in surprise.She never thought that the old lady would say such a thing.

Does she know what this means?
When Shen Wanyu came with Qiu Zhu and Yu Shui, she happened to hear the old lady say this.She waved her hand to stop Nanny Shen who wanted to speak out, and she just stood quietly outside and watched the scene inside.

Naturally, she also saw the change of expression in Shang Rui's eyes. She had always thought that Shang Rui was a lively and cheerful person.It was only today that she knew that maybe there was a sad past behind her.After all, which thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl would run a shop like that and manage her so well.

Shen Wanyu adjusted her emotions slightly, and when she looked up again, there was already a bright smile on her face.

"Grandmother, do you want to recognize Miss Shang as your granddaughter?"

Suddenly a clear voice came from the door, and Shang Rui turned his head to look.I saw Shen Wanyu walking in from the outside with a bright smile on her face.

When the old lady saw Shen Wanyu, the smile on her face became even happier.She waved at Shen Wanyu and said with a smile.

"Girl Wanyu, come quickly and let grandma take a look. How about going to the palace today? Is the Queen Mother looking for you for something?"

Shen Wanyu hugged the old lady's arm coquettishly, and sat down next to her.She pursed her mouth slightly, and seemed to be complaining.

"Grandmother hasn't answered Wanyu's words yet, why did she ask Wanyu so many questions?"

The old lady looked at her like that and was amused by her.She took Shen Wanyu's hand and looked at Shang Rui.She knew that there were conflicts between the two, but she thought Shang Rui was a good boy.It would be great if the two could become friends.

"Yes, grandma likes Shang girl very much. So I want to recognize her as my goddaughter, what does Wanyu think?"

She wants to see her granddaughter's attitude first, if she firmly disagrees.Then she can only give up, but she really likes this Shang Rui.

Out of the corner of Shen Wanyu's eyes, she saw the flash of envy in Shang Rui's eyes, she lowered her eyes slightly as if she was thinking about what the old lady said.After a while, she raised her head.He glanced at Shang Rui lightly, then said with a smile.

"Since it was Grandma's idea, Wanyu naturally has no objection. As long as Grandma is happy, Wanyu will agree to everything. Besides, it would be best for one more person to be filial and make you happy."

The old lady looked at Shen Wanyu in surprise, she originally thought that this girl would not agree.She didn't expect to agree so easily, it was beyond her expectation.

"Okay, since that's the case. Then I will recognize Shang girl as my god-daughter, and you will come to accompany me more often in the future."

Shen Wanyu looked at Shang Rui with a smile in her eyes, but accidentally saw a sneaky figure outside the yard and ran away.
