Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 173 Shang Rui's Dark Attribute

Shen Wanyu was slightly taken aback, but she didn't think much about it.If Shang Rui finds a confidant by himself, where should Xia Ju and Dong Mei be placed when they come back.She narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment.

"I want to ask them to help Yufeng when they come back. Now that our power has just been established, only Yufeng is busy there. Letting the two of them go to help can not only reduce the burden on Yufeng I can train the two of you."

During this period of time, the four of Qiuzhu have improved a lot under the training of Yushui Hell, and they are naturally incomparable with some martial arts masters.But at least she can protect herself, and she is ready to train these four big maids.She didn't want them to be her little maids for the rest of her life. The four had different temperaments, so she had to think about how to train them according to their temperaments.

"Since the lady has already made up her mind, let's do what the lady said."

Qiuzhu has been with Shen Wanyu for the longest time, she naturally knows that her young lady's life will not be peaceful in the future.Sending Dongmei and Xiaju out to exercise is the best place for them.

"Yu Shui, you go."

Shen Wanyu sat in front of the dressing table and reached out to take out the jewelry from the jewelry box.Handed it to Qiu Zhu behind him, then closed her eyes slightly and let her dress herself.

"Miss, shall we wear plum blossom makeup today?"

After a while, Qiuzhu spoke slowly.Looking at the beautiful little face in the mirror without makeup, she was dazed for a moment.

Shen Wanyu opened her eyes and glanced at herself in the mirror.She turned her head slightly and looked around.

"You don't need to put on makeup, just put on the condensed flower lotion."

Qiuzhu nodded, took out the condensed flower dew in a purple porcelain bottle and applied it on Shen Wanyu's face.Porcelain-like skin becomes hydrated because of the application of condensed toilet water, as if it is covered with a layer of clear water.

Shen Wanyu looked at her refreshed self in the mirror with satisfaction, she didn't like to smear everything on her face.This kind of refreshing light makeup is what she likes.If possible, she would like to face nothing.It's a pity that today is entering the palace to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, putting on makeup is a respect for the royal family.

Teng Teng Teng footsteps came, and the curtain of the inner room was lifted from the outside.Chunlan came in with a bowl of hot porridge and side dishes, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes when she saw Shen Wanyu who had already dressed.

"Miss, you won't eat until noon when you enter the palace. You should eat something first, so as not to be hungry by then."

Shen Wanyu looked at Chunlan who put the porridge and side dishes on the table, and smiled slightly.Chunlan is very careful, she can think of these little things.She stood up, went to the table and sat down.

"Chunlan, grandma is almost ready?"

Shen Wanyu asked while eating.She came back from her mother's yard, and it had been almost an hour since she dressed up.Grandma should have packed up almost everything and is ready to enter the palace.

"Well, I ran into Nanny Shen when I was going out just now. She happened to come to inform the lady that the carriage for entering the palace was ready. Just wait at the gate of the mansion for a while. The servant estimated that you have just used up the meal time. it is good."

Chunlan looked at Shen Wanyu who was eating with a smile on her face. At the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the ladies of each family can bring two little maids into the palace.This year Miss was left with only her and Qiu Zhu, so naturally the two of them accompanied Miss into the palace.

"I see, Chunlan, go to the pharmacy and bring me the few small bottles I put on the table."

Shen Wanyu took a sip of porridge, as if thinking of something.Speaking to the happy Chunlan, this girl must be happy to accompany her into the palace.It's not that she doesn't know what the maids around her are thinking, it's just that she is used to bringing Qiuzhu by her side.

"Yes, ma'am."

Not everyone can enter Shen Wanyu's pharmacy.Before Qiuzhu could do it, they were rarely allowed in.Chunlan was surprised by Miss's actions, but what followed was unprecedented happiness.This shows that Miss is also starting to reuse her.

Seeing Chunlan leaving happily, Shen Wanyu shook her head.Although Chunlan's mind is delicate, she still lacks exercise.All thoughts are written on the face, do not know how to cover up.

"Qiuzhu, Chunlan will follow me from now on. You teach her more, she still doesn't know how to hide her thoughts and emotions."

She drank Wanli's last sip of porridge, took the brocade handkerchief Qiuzhu handed over, and wiped the corners of her mouth.Standing up and walking to the bed, she took the set of ice soul silver needles into her arms from under the pillow.

Every time there is a banquet in the palace, she has to be fully armed just like going to the battlefield.Who knows those few people in the palace, will anyone kill him like last time?
"Yes, ma'am."

Qiuzhu nodded, Chunlan grew up with her and served Miss for so many years.She still understands her temperament.As long as you teach her well, she will learn well according to Chunlan's carefulness.

Soon Chunlan walked in with porcelain bottles, and she handed several porcelain bottles in her hand to Shen Wanyu.He tilted his head curiously.

"Miss, what are you doing with this thing?"

Shen Wanyu put away the porcelain bottle and smiled slightly: "Be prepared."

Seeing that Chunlan still looked confused, Qiuzhu tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Did you forget about the Empress Dowager's birthday last time?"

Chunlan suddenly realized that although she didn't follow last time.But she had heard from Qiuzhu about the Empress Dowager's birthday.Besides, although the royal family suppressed what happened last time, many people still knew about it.

"This palace is really scary, there are all kinds of harmful means. Fortunately, the young lady will not marry there in the future."

Chunlan frowned slightly, thinking of their small residence.The back house is so uneasy, not to mention the struggle in the backyard of the deep palace.

Shen Wanyu stood up and asked Chunlan to clean up the things on the table.He left Yuyuan with the two of them and walked towards the front yard.

By the time she got to the front yard, most of the people had already arrived.The old lady was wearing the court dress of Mrs. Yipin Gaoming, and she was a little more imposing than usual.Majesty without losing dignity is accumulated by those who have been in the top position for a long time.

There was a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and she led the two of them forward quickly.She held the old lady's hand and said coquettishly.

"Grandmother is really mighty, and Wanyu is so envious of seeing it. If Wanyu can be a royal wife like her grandmother in the future, she must be as mighty as her grandmother."

The old lady's eyebrows and eyes were full of doting, she reached out and pinched her nose.She glared at her coquettishly, and reprimanded her.

"You girl is becoming more and more unruly, and even dare to tease my grandmother. It seems that I dote on you too much on weekdays, and you are becoming more and more lawless."

Although she said scolding words, anyone could hear the doting and happiness in her tone.

"Where did people make fun of grandma, what Wanyu said was the truth."

Shen Wanyu pursed her lips slightly to express her dissatisfaction, which made the old lady laugh happily like a child's angry behavior.

"Looking at grandma smiling so happily, it must be that the eldest sister said something to make grandma happy."

With a soft voice mixed with a hint of jealousy that was hard to detect, Shen Wanqing walked over slowly with the support of Fenghua and Xueyue.

Everyone's eyes followed the source of the voice, and when they saw Shen Wanqing's outfit, their eyes were filled with amazement.That beautiful dress that was flowing like the wind, the moon white skirt fluttered in the air as she walked.The upper body is made of soft feathers, which flutter gently when the breeze blows.The morning light shone on her body, and for a moment everyone felt that she was like a fairy who walked into the world from the sky.

Shen Wanyu looked at the astonishment in everyone's eyes, they were all dazzled by her outfit today.The vanity in her heart was greatly satisfied, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up in a confident and proud arc.

Shen Wanyu saw everyone's expressions in her eyes, and then glanced at Shen Wanqing who couldn't hide her pride.She lowered her eyes and evoked a smug smile, that's what she wanted.

"Second sister's outfit today is really beautiful, like a fairy descending from the sky."

Shen Wanyu raised her head with a happy smile on her face.The tone was full of sincerity, and it was the first time she saw Shen Wanqing wearing this set of neon clothes and feather clothes today.I have to say that this dress really seems to be made for her.

"Big sister, don't make fun of Wanqing, you are the real smart woman today."

A faint blush appeared on Shen Wanqing's fair cheeks, and anyone would be very happy to hear other people's compliments.Especially this praise came from Shen Wanyu's mouth, no matter how much sincerity there was in her words.

"Okay, everyone is here. Get in the carriage, it's time for us to enter the palace."

The old lady was the first to recover, she glanced at Shen Wanqing.Although there was kindness in his eyes, there was some displeasure in his heart.Although the Marquis of Beining did not pay as much attention to the distinction between concubine and concubine as other mansions, it is not good for a concubine's dress and limelight to overwhelm the concubine's daughter.What's more, Shen Wanyu is her most beloved granddaughter, so she is naturally unhappy in her heart.

She stretched out her hand to hold Shen Wanyu's hand, and patted the back of her hand lightly to comfort her.Shen Wanyu looked at the old lady suspiciously, and saw her soothing eyes.She was a little confused, what was grandma trying to comfort her?

The old lady's next words immediately made her understand what the old lady was trying to comfort her just now.

"Wanyu is the daughter-in-law of our Marquis Mansion. Since Manrou can't accompany me into the palace, then Wanyu will stay with me today. It's time for her to learn something."

The old lady's words made everyone's faces change. Some people were pleased, and others were naturally unhappy.Third Yiniang squeezed the veil tightly, thinking that she would be by the old lady's side today.Where did she think that Shen Wanyu, a lowly girl, would take advantage of this again, she really hated it.But the old lady was here, so she could only endure it.

The soft smile on Shen Wanyu's face froze slightly, and then recovered.She looked at Shen Wanyu with envy in her eyes, and said softly.

"Grandmother really loves Big Sister, and brought Big Sister by her side to teach you personally."

Shen Wanyu ignored Shen Wanqing's sour words, she looked around.He asked curiously, "Why doesn't Miss Shang see her?"

The old lady also noticed Shen Wanyu's reminder.Among such a group of people, Shang girl was really missing.Seeing this, Shen Yuning, who had been standing beside San Yiniang, had a strange gleam in his eyes.

"Yeah, why don't you see Sister Shang? She should know that she is going to enter the palace today, so why hasn't she come. Grandma, why don't you get in the car and wait first. Let someone look for her."

"Yes, mother, you should go up and sit and wait. Although it's late summer, it's still quite hot today."

Shen Wenyan stepped forward and helped the old lady into the carriage.He glanced at the daughter beside him, reached out and touched her head and said, "You go up too, and take care of your grandmother."

Shen Wanyu winked mischievously at him, her father really understood her.Knowing that she hated the hot weather, she nodded and got into the carriage without any rejection.

A group of people standing outside the carriage watched Shen Wanyu get into the carriage.My heart is full of hatred, but without the permission of Shen Wenyan and the old lady.They could only stand under the sun, waiting for Shang Rui, who had never appeared.

After getting into the carriage, Shen Wanyu sat down next to the old lady, and stretched out her hand to open the curtain on the window.Waiting for Shang Rui to come, but after waiting for a long time, no one was seen.

"Yu girl, didn't Shang girl live in your yard last night? Why didn't you come with her?"

The old lady leaned lazily on the soft pillow. If Shang girl had nothing to do, she would not be late.She can't do such a thing as letting everyone wait for her alone today.

"I don't know, when I asked Qiuzhu to look for her in her room, she was already gone."

Shen Wanyu leaned on the car window with one hand, looking lazily at the people outside.The impatience hidden in her eyes was caught in her eyes one by one.She was also curious as to what tricks Shang Rui was playing.Did she remember yesterday, she said that she would go to the Hundred Flowers Banquet with them today.

After waiting for a while, a pale pink figure hurried over.But not from the mansion, but from the side street.

"Sorry, let everyone wait for me alone."

Shang Rui ran all the way over, and was still panting when she stood in front of everyone.Her fair little face was flushed from excessive exercise, and her eyes were moist and shining.His eyes were full of guilt.

"Knowing that we are waiting for you alone, it is better to hurry up. I really don't know what is more important than entering the palace to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet."

The third aunt had a displeased look on her face, she was already in a bad mood.Now that she finally found the reason, how could she give up such a good opportunity to vent her anger.Her tone was a little bitter, and she frowned at Shang Rui.

Shen Wanyu's eyes narrowed slightly in the carriage, she was the most defensive person.She can say Shang Rui, but that doesn't mean others can.A silver needle appeared in the hand under the long sleeve, and she raised her arm casually.A silver light flew out of her hand, and quickly entered San Yiniang's body.

Third Yiniang only felt a pain in the back of her neck, but she didn't care anymore.Just as he was about to speak again, Shen Wenyan glared at him.He could only close his mouth unwillingly, and gave Shang Rui a vicious look.

"Okay, since people are here, let's get on the carriage and prepare to enter the palace."

Shen Wenyan's face darkened, and he showed the aura of being the head of the Hou family.After glaring at Third Auntie, she turned around and walked to the front carriage and got on directly.

Shang Rui nodded at Third Auntie, turned around and was about to walk towards the carriage behind.Suddenly remembering that the things in her hand hadn't been given to anyone, she stopped and turned around to walk to Shen Wanqing's side.

"Sister Wanqing, I suddenly got an inspiration to make this. It matches your neon dress and feather clothes, and it is the most perfect neon dress and dance dress."

Stuffing the thing into Shen Wanqing's hands, she smiled slightly.

Shen Wanqing looked at the things in her hand, she raised her head in a daze to look at Shang Rui who was smiling.Before she stood in the sun waiting for her, she felt a little unhappy.But when she saw the things in her hand, she felt a little guilty.

"Sister Shang, I'm sorry. It's because of me that San Yiniang let you say that. I"

"Okay, you've already called me Sister Shang. You are my sister, and besides, I am a person who demands perfection. It doesn't matter what I do to make the neon clothes and feather clothes more perfect. If you really feel guilty towards me , then at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, let’s wear your neon clothes and dance clothes and dance with your light.”

While talking, Shang Rui blinked at Shen Wanqing, and said with a smile: "I opened a ready-made clothing store, so it just happens to be a promotion for my sister."

Shen Wanqing nodded gratefully, and she grabbed Shang Rui's hand: "My sister treats me like this, so I will naturally help her. Why don't you take a carriage with me, and we can talk more."

A flash of light flashed quickly in Shang Rui's eyes, and just as he was about to nod, he heard a lazy voice from the carriage behind him.

"Miss Shang, grandma asked you to build a carriage with her."

Shang Rui's hand paused slightly, and his brows furrowed indistinctly.Shen Wanqing saw that Shang Rui seemed a little unwilling, so she reached out to pat her hand and comforted her in a low voice.

"Sister Shang, don't be afraid. With grandma around, she won't do anything to you. She is very good in front of grandma."

The disgust and contempt in Shen Wanqing's eyes were obvious, and Shang Rui pursed her lips.Withdrawing his hand from hers, he nodded slightly.

"I know, I'm not afraid of her. It's just that I don't want to be with her. I went up first."

Shen Wanqing nodded and watched Shang Rui turn around and get into the carriage.She let Fenghua and Xueyue help her into the carriage behind, glanced at Shen Yuning and Shen Yurou who were already sitting in the carriage, she just smiled and ignored them.Close your eyes and take a nap.After all, the dance of neon clothes consumes a lot of energy.

As soon as Shang Rui got into the carriage, she sat beside Shen Wanyu.She raised her head to look at the old lady who was looking at her lovingly, her face flushed slightly.

"Grandmother, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for Shang Rui for so long."

The old lady smiled slightly and shook her hand: "It's okay, it's fine when people come."

The carriage drove slowly, Shen Wanyu glanced at Shang Rui.Stretching out his hand to hold her arm, he smiled and said, "Xiao Ruirui, you went out early in the morning just to make that thing for Shen Wanqing?"

Shang Rui gave Shen Wanyu a pair of supercilious eyes, and reached out to pinch her cheek.He said viciously: "I didn't do so much for you, how do you think you will compensate me?"

Shen Wanyu rolled her eyes, reached out and patted off the hand that was making trouble on her face.She looked at Shang Rui maliciously, and she saw Shang Rui's scalp tingle for a while.

"If not, how about I promise with my body?"

Shang Rui immediately jumped up from her side, ran to the old lady and sat down.

"You can roll as far as your thoughts go. This lady is very normal. Besides, if I really ask you to make a promise with my body, that persimmon in your family will not come to me desperately."

Mentioning Chu Mohan, Shen Wanyu curled her lips.That guy seems to have been quiet for the past two days, and he doesn't know where he went.

The old lady looked at the two with doubts flashing in her eyes.Didn't the two girls have a bad relationship before, and they didn't seem to like each other very well.Why now does she feel that the relationship between the two of them is not so good.Also, the prince they talked about seemed to have a close relationship with their girl. Could it be that the prince they were talking about was Prince Han's prince?
The old lady was full of doubts in her heart at this time, but she didn't ask.He just looked at the two with a smile, no matter what they were hiding from her.As long as the two are friends, it's a good thing for her girl, that's fine.

Shen Wanyu naturally saw the doubt in the old lady's eyes, and now she is not going to hide it from her.She reached out and took the old lady's arm, showing a bright smile.

"Grandmother, Shang Rui and I have known each other for a long time. We are friends, and those before were just acting. Now in front of grandma, there is no need to act anymore."

Shen Wanyu's words made the old lady very happy, which showed that Shen Wanyu trusted her very much.No matter what, don't hide it from her.She stretched out her hand and scratched Shen Wanyu's nose, then glared at her.

"You ghostly girl, although I don't know what you two are going to do. But as long as you don't do too much, it doesn't matter."

Shen Wanyu hugged the old lady, her eyes were full of emotion: "I will definitely not embarrass my grandmother, nor put the Hou Mansion in danger."

The old lady patted her on the shoulder with relief, she has grown up.There are some things that she should decide on her own, and she can't live under their wings forever.

"You two are good boys, and you will help each other in the future. This way, my old man can feel at ease."

The old lady took the hands of the two and put their hands together.

Shen Wanyu and Shang Rui glanced at each other, feeling the warmth from those big hands.The two looked at each other and smiled, there were many things that did not need to be said.Just a look, a movement can be passed to the other party.

The atmosphere in the carriage was exceptionally harmonious and warm. The old lady just smiled and leaned against the wall of the carriage, closing her eyes and taking a nap.

Shen Wanyu stretched out her hand to pull Shang Rui over, winked at her and said in a low voice, "I never thought you were also a black-bellied person, so you just took Shen Wanqing's heart away. Seeing how moved she is, I think she must be moved." You see it as a real sister."

A smug smile appeared on Shang Rui's face, and she raised her chin slightly: "What is this, there are even better shows waiting for us at the Hundred Flowers Banquet."
