Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 200
No one knew what Shen Wanyu and Bai Ling had said that night, not even Qiuzhu and Chunlan who were serving her personally.The days were back to normal, and it seemed that Bai Ling had never appeared that night.

A few days after the prince's wedding, Beininghoufu suddenly received an imperial decree.Because of Shen Wanqing's young age, the wedding with the prince was postponed until she reached Jiji.As if to appease Shen Wanqing, the emperor, empress and queen mother also gave a lot of rewards.

Shen Wanyu stood aside, looking at Shen Wanqing who was holding the imperial decree in her hand and had a gentle smile on her face.This imperial decree really came according to her wishes, she originally wanted to talk about it when she went to the palace to chat with the Queen Mother.She didn't expect someone to be one step ahead of her, it was her business.

The father-in-law who came to deliver the decree was the emperor's confidant, and Shen Wenyan personally wanted to send him out of the Hou Mansion with a smile on his face.It's just that before he opened his mouth, the father-in-law looked at Shen Wanyu who was at the side with a smile on his face.

"Miss Shen, the Empress Dowager asked Miscellaneous Family to bring a message. Let you enter the palace tomorrow, and the sedan chair will pick you up tomorrow morning."

Shen Wanyu was slightly taken aback, then nodded.Stepping forward, she said with a smile: "Wanyu knows, please trouble your father-in-law."

The father-in-law nodded, then raised his whisk, turned around and left the Hou Mansion with a few young eunuchs accompanied by Shen Wenyan.

After the father-in-law passing the decree left, the old lady turned her head to look at Shen Wanqing.He reached out and patted her hand, speaking softly to comfort her.

"Don't think too much, since the emperor gave you the marriage at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, you won't regret it. That's fine, you are too young now. It would be better to marry into the Prince's Mansion when you are old enough."

Shen Wanqing nodded obediently, and raised her eyes to look at the old lady.The corner of her mouth raised, and she said gently: "Qing'er understands, grandma, don't worry, I won't think too much about it."

The old lady nodded in satisfaction, and glanced at the aunts standing in the front hall.Then his eyes fell on Shen Wanyu, looking at her with doting eyes.

"I'm going to see your mother. Why hasn't my body recovered? Do you want to go with me to see her?"

Shen Wanyu nodded, then stepped to the old lady's side and held her arm affectionately.Under the gaze of everyone, he helped the old lady walk towards the backyard.

Shen Wanqing looked at the back of Shen Wanyu leaving, and clenched her teeth.The hand holding the imperial decree was clenched tightly, the knuckles were slightly white.

"Second Miss, let's go back too."

The second aunt stepped forward and reached out to hold her hand.She looked at her daughter with doting eyes, even though the wedding was postponed until Qing'er and Ji.But the fact that he became the crown prince's side concubine is already a certainty, and no one in this Hou's mansion will be able to overwhelm her in the future.

Shen Wanqing turned her head to look at her mother, and took a deep breath of the anger in her heart.As she walked to the backyard, she had endured it for so many years and it was not bad for the past two years.

Everyone left the front hall one after another, leaving only the third aunt with Shen Yuning and the fourth aunt with Shen Yurou Bailing.

The fourth aunt was about to take the two of them away when she heard the third aunt's tone of voice.Her brow furrowed indistinctly, and then quickly returned to her usual indifference and calmness.

"I really envy Fourth Aunt. Now I have a half-daughter by my side. As the saying goes, a niece is equivalent to half a daughter, isn't it? Sigh, unlike me, who has only one daughter, I'm still a disappointment."

The third aunt seemed to sigh, and her eyes looked at Bai Ling who was standing on the right of the fourth aunt.There was a flash of light in her eyes, and she said with a smile: "Bai Ling's face is really pretty, and she really looks a bit like wearing Miss's clothes. Look at her and Yurou, they really look alike Woolen cloth."

Bai Ling's body trembled slightly, she quietly raised her eyes to look at the calm fourth aunt.He bowed his head in silence, not daring to say a word.

"Third aunt said that this niece is half a daughter. Bailing is also a poor child, her father and mother are gone. It is really unreasonable for me, an aunt, not to help me a little bit. Besides, Master Hou and Missy are kind-hearted Yes, they are very good to Bai Ling, no worse than other ladies."

Fourth aunt's soft words pierced into third aunt's heart like a soft knife, and she took a deep breath in her heart.The one who can't go up and down is originally trying to satirize her.Unexpectedly, I was choked by her for a while.

"Humph!"

With a snort from her nose, she flicked her sleeves and led Shen Yuning away with a sullen expression.Unexpectedly, this Fourth Aunt who usually looks at peace with the world is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Fourth Aunt withdrew her gaze, and glanced lightly at Bai Ling beside her.He said lightly: "Let's go, go back."

Bai Ling's body trembled, no one else saw it but she could clearly see the ruthlessness in Fourth Aunt's eyes when she looked at her.She touched her arm involuntarily, where there were still terrible scars.

San Yiniang led Shen Yuning towards her yard, and just as she entered the yard, she saw a little maid running over in a panic.

"What are you doing in such a panic?"

She frowned in displeasure, she was indeed a maid doing rough work in the yard.It's just that there is no calm and caring maid who is there to serve her personally.

"Aunt Sansan, the eldest lady is waiting for you inside." The little girl shook her body and replied stutteringly.San Yiniang's temper is not very good, but everyone in the Hou Mansion knows it.As long as she is in a bad mood, she will beat and scold the servants.Especially when she is still sick now, she is even more moody.

Third Aunt frowned slightly, she and Shen Yurou beside her glanced at each other.What kind of tricks did Shen Wanyu come here to play?The last time I came here, I beat Shen Yuning half to death, this time.
"How long has she been here?"

The third aunt's expression changed slightly, and she quickly walked towards the house.She still doesn't have the capital to fight Shen Wanyu's little ancestor, and she doesn't have a daughter who is about to become the prince's side concubine.Thinking of this, she couldn't help but waited for her daughter.What a disappointment, unable to climb the big tree of the crown prince.Anyway, it's better to catch a prince's son, or some officials.

Shen Yuning was really wronged when she was stared at by her own mother.I have a grudge against both Shen Wanyu and Shen Wanqing in my heart, if there were no two of them.She is the eldest lady in the Hou's mansion, and all these good things belong to her.

"I've been here for almost half an hour." The little girl replied in a low voice, for fear that she would be reproached if she answered too late.

The third aunt frowned, shouldn't she go to see the madam with the old lady?While thinking, people have already arrived in the room.Sure enough, Shen Wanyu was sitting at the table, drinking tea leisurely.

"Miss, didn't you go to Madam's place with the old lady?"

Third Auntie showed a smile on her face, stepped forward and sat beside her and looked at her suspiciously.He reached out and poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip.Behind her, Shen Yuning sat beside her with some reluctance. If it was possible, she would turn around and leave.

Shen Wanyu frowned when she heard what Third Aunt said.Putting down the teacup in her hand, she spoke slowly.

"Third aunt, Ming people don't speak dark words. I know you are very uncomfortable looking at the second aunt and the fourth aunt now. One is that the daughter is about to become the prince's side concubine, and the other is that the little maids around her have all become young ladies of the Hou family. .Now you are the only one who has nothing, and a daughter is still so disappointing."

Shen Wanyu's tone was very soft, and she sounded a little careless.But the person who said it seemed to have no intention of it, but the person who heard it felt uncomfortable.Shen Yuning glared at Shen Wanyu dissatisfied, she was pulled back by the third aunt just as she was about to speak.

"What do you mean by Miss? I don't have the kind of heart you said. I have my own blessings. As for Yu Ning, what she does in the future is her own business."

Although San Yiniang is sometimes a little impulsive, she is not a fool.Shen Wanyu was able to come here to look for her today, and she must have some purpose in looking for her by saying such a thing.

Shen Wanyu raised her eyebrows, and she glanced at the maids serving in the room.Third Aunt's eyes moved slightly, and she immediately raised her hand and waved.

"Stay with Chaohua, everyone else will go down."

The little maids in the room responded and all left the room.He also closed the door and left the space for them.

After everyone retreated, Shen Wanyu stretched out her hand.Qiuzhu standing behind her immediately took out an exquisite box from her arms and put it in her hand, then stepped aside.

Shen Wanyu returned the box to Third Aunt, with a kind smile on her face: "Third Aunt, why don't we make a deal?"

Third Aunt took the box and opened it with doubts in her heart.When she saw what was in the box, she was slightly taken aback.With shock in his eyes, he pointed to the contents inside.

"This is... what does this mean."

Shen Wanyu raised the corners of her mouth, picked up her teacup and took a sip.She frowned slightly, the tea in her mouth was already cold, and her mouth was full of bitterness.She doesn't like bitter things, so she casually put the teacup on the table.She still likes the tea that Mu Zhirui gave her, and she will ask for some more when she enters the palace.Otherwise, when she married into the Prince's Mansion in a few days, she would not be able to get what she wanted.

"That's what the third aunt saw. I can give you prosperity and wealth and find a good family for the third sister. And guarantee her the position of the mistress."

Shen Wanyu leaned back in the chair lazily, she was not in a hurry and just quietly waited for Third Auntie to make a choice.People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, when they can easily get what they want, who would take another troublesome road?

This transaction has only advantages and no disadvantages for Third Auntie.

Third Aunt frowned slightly, her eyes were looking at the things in the box.
