Splendid Phoenix Journey: The Arrogant Princess

Chapter 209 As long as she needs him, he will be by her side

Shen Wanyu waited until Shang Rui woke up before taking her to the old lady's place.Shang Rui rubbed her sleepy eyes, wrinkled her head and looked at Shen Wanyu.

"Little Yuyu, grandma is telling you to come over. What are you pulling me for?"

The headache after the hangover made Shang Rui lose her temper, and Shen Wanyu wondered why she didn't know.Grandma must have been sent back yesterday because of the drunken unconsciousness of the two of them, and she was going to be lectured.

"Hey, aren't we good sisters? If you have the Tao, you share the blessings, and you share the difficulties."

Shang Rui gave Shen Wanyu a supercilious look, and pushed her hand wrapped around her arm away.He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead softly.

"Let go of me first, my headache is dead."

The two left Yuyuan and walked towards the old lady's Anluyuan.Qiuzhu and Chunlan, who were following behind, glanced at each other and followed silently.

"Little Ruirui, do you still remember how we went back last night?"

The familiar taste has always made her feel strange, although it is very likely that she is hallucinating from drinking too much.But as long as there is a little possibility, she also wants to know if it is him.

"Are you out of your mind? We both drank unconsciously yesterday, how could I know how to get back. But I heard from Qiu Zhu that it was the shopkeeper who sent someone to inform the Hou Mansion to pick us up."

"Oh."

Shen Wanyu let out a little disappointment, it really was her hallucination.Did she already have hallucinations just after he left?

While the two were talking, they had reached the gate of An Lu Yuan, and it was already noon.The yard was quiet, only a few maids were trimming potted plants and cleaning the yard.

Nanny Shen came out of the warm pavilion, and saw Shen Wanyu and Shang Rui walking over quickly.

"Miss and Miss Shang are here, and the old lady is having lunch inside. Come in quickly, I just said you two."

Shen Wanyu raised the corners of her mouth, smiled slightly, and pulled Shang Rui into the Nuan Pavilion.The rich aroma of rice and vegetables rushed over, and the empty stomachs of the two responded immediately.

The old lady raised her head slightly when she heard the voice.Stretching out his finger, he pointed to the two empty positions beside him, and said lightly.

"Come sit down and eat, you two probably haven't eaten yet."

Shen Wanyu and Shang Rui glanced at each other, with embarrassed smiles on their faces.He obediently went to sit on both sides of the old lady, quietly watching her face.

Shen Momo hurriedly asked the maid to set up two bowls and chopsticks, and then led the people out of the warm pavilion.

"I drank so much wine last night and didn't eat anything in the morning. Drink some light soup first to warm my stomach."

The old lady served two bowls of assorted honey soup for them and put them in front of them, with a gentle and loving smile on her face.

Shen Wanyu and Shang Rui looked at the gentle-looking old lady, feeling warm in their hearts.He lowered his head and silently drank the soup in his hand, feeling the warm soup flow into his stomach.

The three of them finished their lunch quietly, and Shen Momo led the people to remove all the things.Shang Rui and Shen Wanyu supported the old lady to rest on the couch, while they sat beside her and massaged her legs.

"The Shang Academy will start in two days. I'm going to let Shang Rui go with you. It's also good to learn more. What do you two think?"

Shang Rui was taken aback for a moment, she blinked and looked at the old lady.Surprised by her words, the Shang Academy is run for the prince and the children of some ministers' families, although there are also children of common people who go in.But it is very rare, and it is only recommended by some great Confucians to enter.

Shen Wanyu was also a little surprised, she looked at Shang Rui.She didn't know whether she would agree, after all, the dim sum shop here has just been completed.There are too many things that require her to do it herself, but in her heart she still hopes that Shang Rui can go to the Shang Academy with her.

Both eyes fell on Shang Rui, and she looked at them with some hesitation.She still wants to go to Shang Xueyuan, she knows that it is the same everywhere.There is no harm in learning more, the so-called skills do not overwhelm you.

"That's great. If Shang Rui also goes to Shang Xueyuan, he can be with me. I also have someone to accompany me, right?"

Shen Wanyu saw that Shang Rui didn't have much reluctance to go to the Shang Academy, and even had a little heart.She opened her mouth quickly and blinked at Shang Rui.

"I think so too, what do you think, Shang girl?"

The old lady nodded, and looked at Shang Rui with a smile of an elder loving a junior.

"Okay, I'll go."

After thinking for a moment, Shang Rui nodded in response.

"Okay, let's take advantage of these two days to make some new autumn clothes. Just a few days ago, the womb gave some brocades, so you two can choose first."

The old lady nodded at Nanny Shen as she spoke, and after a while, Nanny Shen brought a sandalwood box with two rough envoys.As soon as the box was opened, there were several exquisite brocades inside.

Shen Wanyu looked at the exquisite brocade in the box, her eyes fell on a piece of moon-white brocade.She walked over slowly, reached out and stroked the brocade.The silky and cold touch under her hands made her dizzy for a moment.Seeing this color, the evildoer who likes to wear white robes involuntarily appeared in her mind.

Looking at her like that, Shang Rui knew that she was thinking of that Chu Mohan again.She walked over, picked up the moon white brocade and stuffed it into her arms.On the other hand, she picked out a light-colored alizarin blue brocade, which was just right for her shop assistant's uniform.

Seeing that both of them had chosen the brocade, the old lady waved for someone to move the box down.Usually, she would only reward Shen Wanyu with the brocade that was resigned from the palace.Now that there is one more Shang Rui who has eyes for her, he naturally gave her one.

"Okay, go back and get ready."

Shen Wanyu and Shang Rui glanced at each other, surprised that the old lady didn't ask them about last night.

"Grandma, what happened last night will never happen again."

Shen Wanyu pondered for a moment, and finally took the initiative to bring up what happened last night.Fortunately, the shopkeeper of the restaurant last night had a good relationship with the Hou's Mansion, if it was rumored that Miss Di of the Hou's Mansion had passed out drinking in the restaurant.Not only is it bad for her reputation of the Hou Mansion.

"Go on, I know that Chu Mohan will naturally be in a bad mood when you go out to fight. It's okay to vent a little, just don't have a next time."

The old lady closed her eyes and waved both of them back.When she found out yesterday that the two girls were drunk in the restaurant, she was really angry.The anger is not that the actions of the two of them will bring bad influence on the reputation of the Hou Mansion, but what should be done if something happens to the unconsciousness of the two girls outside.

But when she sent someone to pick them up, she didn't expect that Chu Mohan had already brought Wanyu back in his arms.Seeing how gentle he was to his precious granddaughter, all the anger in her heart disappeared.People who were supposed to be outside the city now appeared in the Hou's mansion, which made her feel a little mixed.It was also at that moment that she knew why her precious granddaughter fell in love with Chu Mohan.

Because when she needs him, he will always appear by her side.

Shen Wanyu and Shang Rui glanced at each other, and finally chose to back out silently.After leaving Anluyuan, the two went directly back to Yuyuan.

Shang Rui leaned on the imperial concubine chair in Shen Wanyu's inner room, leaning on her chin with one hand.

"Grandmother is so kind of not blaming us for what happened last night."

Shen Wanyu nodded casually, leaning on the soft pillow on the bed.She looked at the moon-white brocade on the table, and a soft smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Hey, the eldest lady has returned to her soul."

Shang Rui yelled at Shen Wanyu in dissatisfaction, this girl can be lost in thought just by looking at the moon-white brocade.Is this going to be crazy?
Shen Wanyu came back to her senses, and gave Shang Rui a dissatisfied look.Then he turned his gaze to her, and a sly gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao Ruirui"

Shang Rui's body trembled, her brows furrowed unconsciously.Looking at Shen Wanyu's sweet little face with a smile, she felt a chill down her spine.

"If you have something to say, take back the smile on your face."

Shang Rui frowned, looking at Shen Wanyu warily.

Shen Wanyu raised her chin slightly, and pointed to the moon-white brocade on the table.There was a calculating light in her eyes, and she smiled sweetly.

"That...you can help me make men's and women's suits."

Shang Rui glanced at Shen Wanyu speechlessly, she knew that Shen Wanyu must be plotting something against her.

"Okay, but you design the style of the clothes yourself. Don't be dissatisfied with what I design."

Shen Wanyu nodded, she wanted to design this suit herself.She hoped to give it to him as a gift when he left triumphantly.Although I know he may not come back when, maybe a year or maybe two years
"Are you going to do it now? He doesn't know when he will come back from the expedition, and when he comes back, you may grow taller, fatter or thinner. You won't be able to wear clothes anymore. Have you ever thought about this?"

Looking at Shen Wanyu's embarrassed little face, she knew that she must have not thought of this.Why is such a shrewd person the same as an idiot in terms of common sense in life.

Shen Wanyu was very embarrassed, she never thought of this at all.After being reminded by Shang Rui, she suddenly understood.

"What should I do?"

Shang Rui gave Shen Wanyu a big roll of her eyes, rubbing her chin with her slender fingers.The brows raised slightly, and she glanced helplessly at Shen Wanyu.

"Silly, it's not too late to wait until he comes back. As long as I have a design draft, I can make it in half a day."

Shen Wanyu's eyes lit up when she heard Shang Rui's words.Yes, he can do it when he comes back.

"Haha, Xiao Ruirui, you are really my lucky star."

Shang Rui gave Shen Wanyu a big roll of the eyes, and was about to speak.There was a knock on the door, followed by Qiuzhu's voice from outside.
