reborn princess

Chapter 669
Zhou Zonghan was flattered and said: "Students dare not accept gifts from adults."

Shen Luo waved his hand, "This is not a gift. Brother Zhuo is young and has never been out. You take him out. If he likes something, you just buy it for him, and treat the rest as Tea money."

"Then thank you, my lord!" Zhou Zonghan no longer refused, and accepted it happily.

After a while, a servant brought in 20 taels of silver on a tray and put it on the tea table beside Zhou Zonghan.

Zhou Zonghan put away the silver and said he was going to set off.

Brother Zhuo had never gone out since he came to the capital, so he was very happy to be able to go out to play now, especially when he heard that he had a playmate of the same age as him.

Ke'er dressed him up very neatly, and prepared a small bag with a few strings of money, a few pouches, and a set of clothes for Brother Zhuo, and then led him to the gate together. Brother doesn't have a nanny, Ke'er has always been helping to take care of him.

Zhou Zonghan smiled and said to Ke'er: "Girl, please forgive me, because it's a poetry meeting, and no girls will participate, so please stay for a while."

Ke'er was taken aback when he heard the words, "If you don't let me go, then our young master can't go either. The young master is still so young, how can Mr. Zhou take care of him?"

The smile on Zhou Zonghan's face became a little stiff, "What the girl said, Zhou has also taken care of the children, and the grandson has also taken care of him, so it's not like he can't take care of the young master."

At this moment, Shen Luo came out from behind the hanging flower door, and said, "Ke'er, don't follow me!"

"Master!" Ke'er was a little anxious. She brought up Brother Zhuo alone. She was really worried about letting such a young brother Zhuo travel alone with a man.

Shen Luo's eyes turned on Zhou Zonghan's face a few times, and he smiled faintly, "I believe that Mr. Zhou will take good care of Brother Zhuo!"

"It's only natural!" Zhou Zonghan couldn't help being a little proud of Shen Luo's support.

Ke'er had no choice but to hand him Zhuo Ge'er and the little bag, "In the bag is Zhuo Ge'er's change of clothes, if it gets dirty, you can change it, and there are a few purses, one or two in the purse." There are also a few strings of money, which are pocket money for Brother Zhuo. Don’t let Brother Zhuo eat too much sweets, it’s bad for the trachea and teeth, and don’t let him drink too much. Too much tea, he's too young..."

"Okay!" Shen Luo said impatiently from the side. "If Mr. Zhou doesn't bother me, I'll be annoyed. Hurry up and go in!"

Ke'er had no choice but to turn around and enter the door aggrieved.

The people from the stable brought a fine horse, and Shen Luo got on the horse, "Mr. Zhou, I have some business, I'm busy now, take good care of Brother Zhuo!"

After finishing speaking, he shook the rein and walked away.

Zhou Zonghan breathed a sigh of relief, hugged Brother Zhuo, and got into the carriage that had been prepared long ago. Wangchunlou is a tea house, located on the East Street in the outer city, and it is a place where literati and inkmen like to hang out very much.

He took Brother Zhuo into the Wangchun Tower, but he didn't order tea or meet anyone, but hurried out through the back door of the Wangchun Tower.

There was a carriage parked at the back door of Wangchun Building. When he saw the carriage, he hurried over and asked, "Is it the carriage of the Xiangfu?"

The coachman who drove the carriage didn't speak, just nodded, and Zhou Zonghan carried Brother Zhuo into the carriage.

Brother Zhuo asked puzzledly: "Mr. Zhou, didn't we go to Wangchunlou to participate in the poetry meeting? Why did we go elsewhere?"

"This is a small game. Let's play peek-a-boo first. We will go to the poetry meeting after we are found." Zhou Zonghan perfunctory him.

"Oh! I like playing peek-a-boo the most!" Brother Zhuo said happily without doubting him.

The carriage wobbled through the streets and alleys for a while, then stopped suddenly.

Zhou Zonghan raised the curtain and asked, "Is it there yet?"

"Here we are!" the coachman said in a deep voice, and jumped off the shaft. "Get out of the car!"

Zhou Zonghan got out of the carriage first, and when he turned around and was about to hug brother Zhuo, he suddenly became stupid. It turned out that a shiny sword came across his neck suddenly.

He stared at the coachman from the corner of his eye, trembling all over his body with fright, "You... what are you doing? Master Xiang has already promised me that as long as I bring him the young master of the Shen family, he will Just recommended me to be an official, how can he keep his word?"

"It turns out that you sold my brother Zhuo because of your official position!" Shen Weilan's gloomy voice came out, and she came out from the darkness, looking at Zhou Zonghan with a sullen expression. "Mr. Zhou, I really admire your character as a scholar!"

"You...Miss?" Zhou Zonghan never dreamed that the person who appeared would be her. He thought that it was the Prime Minister who wanted to silence him.

At this moment, he also understood, he looked around, what is the back alley of the Prime Minister's Mansion, this is clearly the back alley of the Shen Mansion, he often comes in and out from here on weekdays, so he naturally recognizes this place.

If by this time, he still doesn't know that he has fallen into a trap, then the study for so long is really in vain.

As soon as his knees softened, he knelt down to Shen Weilan, "Miss, please forgive me, the villain was also forced!"

Shen Weilan smiled leisurely, "Who wasn't forced? Alright, Mr. Zhou, our family doesn't dare to keep you anymore, please please!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ke'er came out from the back corner door, holding a bundle in her hand, and slammed it on him, "Get lost!"

Zhou Zonghan had no choice but to leave Shen's residence in despair with his baggage.

Du Xihua asked curiously from the side: "Miss, why didn't you let your subordinates kill him?"

"It's not that you are not allowed to kill, but that you are not allowed to kill at the door of the house!" Shen Weilan said quietly. "Find a few people and make it a robbery."

"Yes!" Du Xihua was very happy when he heard that Zhou Zonghan could be killed, so he turned around and arranged for people to go.

Shen Weilan let out a heavy breath, with a half-smile on her face, she murmured: "Wen Mo, you really pissed me off!"

……

In a blink of an eye, it was the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Xuan Yirou was welcomed into the palace as the crown prince and concubine. On that day, she was dressed in red makeup. It is said that the dowry alone took three days and three nights.

The emperor gritted his teeth when he saw the dowry list presented, and asked Xuan Yu angrily, "How can I marry a princess in the future after you and your husband have put on such a show? You and your wife plan to make my treasury empty just because you marry a few princesses." drop?"

Xuan Yu said shamelessly, "Okay, Your Majesty, don't cry poorly. Just the treasure of Beichen Kingdom discovered by Brother Chen and Girl Lan is enough for you to marry a hundred princesses."

"Hush—" The emperor gave him an annoyed look, and agreed that he would never admit it. "By the way, what's going on in Beichen Country?"

When Xuan Yu heard the emperor's question about the business, his expression changed, and he said: "I got the military report that the eldest prince of Beichen Kingdom was killed by the Ninth Prince, and now the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince are in charge of the river separately, and the fight is raging. "

"It's a mess!" The emperor couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that girl to make such a mess! It's a pity that I can't reward that girl for such great achievements one after another. she."

Xuan Yu said brazenly: "Old Shen revealed that he wanted to marry that girl and my brother Chen in advance. When the time comes, the emperor will reward her with a little more dowry!"

The emperor smiled and said: "What's wrong with Shen Luo? Parents in other families are reluctant to let their daughters get married, so why is he in such a hurry to send his daughter out?"

Xuan Yu sighed, "I can't help it, my son will not live up to expectations, if he doesn't marry his daughter, my son will become his family."

The emperor couldn't help but let out a muffled laugh.

……

Three days later, it was the day when the crown prince accompanied Xuan Yirou back home.

Today's Xuan Yirou is no longer an ordinary official daughter, but a noble concubine. Even Xuan Yu and his wife will salute her when they see her.

When the married daughter returned to her natal family, she naturally wanted to cry with her mother, and the relatives of the Xuan family and the Baili family, knowing that she was coming back today, came to the Prince's Mansion of Changping County to see her.

After crying, Xuan Yirou wiped away the tears, and said to Xuan Chen with a very calm expression: "Brother, I have entered the palace now, and it will be difficult to leave the palace in the future. I miss sister Lan'er very much, please help me get Lan'er out of the palace. Can my sister pick it up? I want to talk to her!"

Xuan Chen didn't doubt that he was there, so he immediately rode out of the mansion to pick up Shen Weilan.

It was already noon when Shen Weilan arrived at Changping County Prince's Mansion, Xuan Yirou had lunch and was resting in her former room.

Luan Rui came out and said, "Prince Concubine Miss Xuan Chen sees you!"

Just as Xuan Chen wanted to follow in, Luan Rui took a horizontal step and stopped him, and said expressionlessly: "The Crown Princess only announced Miss Shen!"

Xuan Chen frowned slightly, but Shen Weilan patted him on the shoulder, "Go to your yard, the Crown Princess's status is different now, you are a foreigner, it is indeed not suitable to see you!"

Xuan Chen had no choice but to nod, "When you come out, remember to find me, and I will take you home!"

Shen Weilan nodded in agreement, then walked in, and entered the inner room, and saw Xuan Yirou sitting on the wooden couch at the door with a pale face, eyes closed, resting.

A group of women dressed as courtiers stood quietly by the side, the scene was completely opposite to usual.

She kneeled down to Xuan Yirou according to the etiquette, and knelt down on the worship mat put down by the maid, "My lady kowtows to see the crown princess!"

Xuan Yirou lazily opened his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "You are here!"

Shen Weilan keenly heard a trace of fatigue in her voice, so she stood up and said, "The Crown Princess' throat is a bit uncomfortable?"

Xuan Yirou let out a sneer, "I'm just a little tired!" As she spoke, she waved her hand and said to the maids. "Go down first!"

The maids retreated one after another.

She winked at Luan Rui again, and after receiving the signal, Luan Rui went out and put the maids in a room, and did not let them wait outside the door for orders.

Shen Weilan's spirit suddenly became a little tense, looking at Xuan Yirou who suddenly seemed to be very strange to her, she instinctively sensed a hint of danger in her heart.
