Splendid Book

Chapter 127 Major Changes
"Elder Sister Changle," Ye Ling called out joyfully as they noticed it almost as soon as they entered the shop.It's just that when her eyes fell on Ji Yu next to her, she shrank back somewhat obviously.

Then she hurriedly blessed her body and said: "I have seen Prince Zhao, and I have seen Princess Wang."

The waiter who led them in didn't know their identities, but when he heard that these two were actually Prince Zhao and Princess Zhao, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees.He hurriedly shouted: "My little one, please greet the prince and the concubine, and the prince is blessed and safe."

The waiter in the shop also received distinguished guests on weekdays, but it was a bit exaggerated when he was in a panic.

Shen Changle glanced at Ye Ling, then stared helplessly, Ye Ling quickly stuck out her tongue, a little embarrassed.Seeing that the two of them should be traveling in a low-key way, it would be good, but she exposed it right away.

At this time, the shopkeeper also rushed out to greet him. Unlike other shops, the shopkeeper of this Zhenbao Pavilion is a charming lady. It was a silver-white beaded satin skirt, and the long jacket was tucked in at the waist, creating a slender waist.It's really rare for her to have such a figure at her age.

This Mrs. Xu can be considered a moderate celebrity in the capital. After all, to be the owner of a jewelry shop like Zhenbao Pavilion, she has two packs of brushes.There are so many noble ladies in the capital who come to Treasure Workshop to buy jewelry. She is able to do a job with ease, but it is not because of her superb means.However, some people also said that she was an outer room placed outside by a nobleman. As for which nobleman it was, no one knew.

Lady Xu walked up to her, and greeted the two of them softly, Shen Changle looked at her posture, the manners were pretty good.

"Get up, I'm just a guest today, shopkeeper Xu doesn't need to be so polite," Shen Changle smiled and told her to stand up.

Although she said so, Mrs. Xu didn't dare to take it seriously, she lowered her head when talking to her, and didn't dare to look up casually.

At this time, Shen Changle felt a scorching gaze, chasing her all the time, even if she wanted to ignore it, she couldn't ignore it.She didn't need to look back, she knew who was watching her.Actually speaking, she and Ye Lanting haven't seen each other for a few years, before he often went to Duke Wei's mansion to ask elder brother for advice.Daddy and his father are close friends, so the entire Shen family has always treated him affectionately.

A few years ago when he first arrived in the capital, he lived in Ye Ling's house, but the year before last his parents both returned to the capital, so he also moved back to live at home.Although she seldom sees him, with Ye Ling around, Chang Le also knows a lot about him.

"There is a private room upstairs, please sit upstairs with your lord and empress while I let the servant girl prepare the thin tea in the shop," Lady Xu said softly, bowing her head.

"Then trouble shopkeeper Xu," Shen Changle turned to look at Ye Ling while speaking, seeing that she was standing still and did not dare to come over, but her face showed that she wanted to talk to her very much.

She beckoned and shouted softly: "Come here, or you won't have the tea later."

"Princess Xie," Ye Ling teased deliberately, even though Shen Changle is married, the two of them are still on good terms.Before Changle also invited her to come to the house as a guest, Mrs. Ye told her daughter to be careful what she said, but she must not be as casual as before.

But when he arrived at the palace, Ye Ling was scolded by Shen Changle as soon as he saluted.The two talked and laughed, and went fishing in the garden. There are many herrings in the lake of Prince Zhao's Mansion.

If it wasn't for Ye Ling not being married yet and not being able to go out often, Shen Changle would have liked to invite her to his house to play every now and then.

I heard that Ye Ling was talking about marriage before, although Shen Changle is not easy to ask, but he has already told her in secret, if she knows which family it is, she can ask Ji Yu to inquire about the man's character.To be honest, there are a lot of dandies in the capital, but there are also a lot of hypocrites. Some people spend their days and nights in private, but it's better to hide it at home.Shen Hui had almost encountered such a thing before, that Feng Youfeng had a good reputation outside, and his family background was good, although he was not the eldest son, but because he was the second son, his parents loved him, and he was quite progressive, look at No matter what, he is a good son-in-law candidate.

But who knew that they were not married yet, so they almost produced an illegitimate child.

Although parents will also investigate, but there are some things that women in the inner house don't always know very well.

Ye Lanting came here with Ye Ling, and since Shen Changle invited Ye Ling, he also went upstairs and entered the private room.Now he is just a Juren, he missed both the previous two imperial examinations, and now he is still concentrating on studying in the academy.Shen Lingcheng had praised him before, for being able to calm down and study.

In fact, what Shen Changle didn't know was that in Shen Lingcheng's heart, Ye Lanting was indeed a candidate for son-in-law.He was grown up by Shen Lingcheng, not only knew the basics, but also had an extraordinary character.And he has the quality of a gentleman.It's just that Shen Lingcheng didn't expect that Changle would be favored by the emperor during the draft, so he could only accept it.

So regarding Ye Lanting, Shen Lingcheng could only sigh.In fact, he could also see Ye Lanting's thoughts, but he always kept the etiquette and never acted out of bounds.

Looking at it now, it can only be said that fate tricks people.

"Wangfei, why are you here?" Ye Ling was about to call Sister Changle, but Ji Yu was right next to her, so she respectfully called her Wangfei.

Looking at her expression, Shen Changle could not understand her careful thinking, and immediately said, "I wanted to see my dowry shop, which happened to be next to Treasure Square, so I came in to have a look."

"I'll get married next month, Brother Lanting will accompany me to look at the jewelry," Ye Ling probably said because he was not familiar with Ji Yu, and he was really afraid of the prestige of Prince Zhao, so he spoke cautiously.

Shen Changle naturally knew about her wedding ceremony, Madam Ye had planned to write an invitation to her before, inviting her to attend Ye Ling's wedding ceremony.Reaching the bar is the most important etiquette for women. Once reaching the bar, it means that you are an adult and you can start talking about pro-marriage.

At the time of Changle and Jiji, although the guests were few, they were all distinguished, and they were extremely eye-catching.Regardless of whether Mrs. Ye invited her out of selfishness or not, she will also be there because of the friendship she and Ye Ling have known since childhood.

Shen Changle pursed his lips and chuckled: "Then how did you choose?"

Ye Ling immediately raised the corner of her mouth and complained: "I looked at it for a long time and didn't know which one to choose. I asked Brother Lanting to give me palm eyes, but he didn't know anything. Fortunately, sister Changle, you are here, or you can give me the palm of your hand." Let me see."

When it comes to rising, Ye Ling is another sister of Changle.The two men next to them were sitting quietly at the side at this moment, watching the maids in the shop bring over the jewelry that Ye Ling had previously favored.

Ji Yu picked up the teacup and put it in his hand, but he didn't put it to his mouth to drink it.On the other hand, Ye Lanting was even quieter, sitting on a rose chair with carved luan pattern, with eyes slightly lowered, with a quiet expression.

Ji Yu is quite familiar with Ye Lanting, after all, he had a brief encounter with him in Guangping Mansion.At that time, both he and Ye Lanting were guests of the Shen family, but he was the distinguished seventh prince, while Ye Lanting was a distinguished guest of the Shen family.At that time, Ye Lanting liked to follow Shen Changle, talk to her, and make her happy.

I thought it was just a memory from childhood, but some things, once the cause is planted, will bear fruit.When he learned that after Ye Lanting returned to Beijing, he went to Shen's house from time to time, trying to get close to Shen Changle, he was naturally unhappy.It's just that at that time, he had no position to interfere.

Fortunately, Changle never gave him hope, even they rarely met each other.

I didn't expect to meet here today. It's really a reunion in the mountains and rivers.

Ji Yu tilted his head and looked at Shen Changle and the little girl from the Ye family. Their heads were almost hooked together. Looking at the jewelry on the table, they seemed to be having a heated discussion.He cleared his throat and said, "Changle, if Miss Ye really can't let go, why don't we give her one, and it can also be counted as a congratulatory gift for her marriage."

"How can this work?" Ye Ling almost jumped up from the chair after hearing this.

She looked at Shen Changle in panic, with a bit of pleading in her eyes, as if she was afraid that Shen Changle would agree.It's normal for a girl to like jewelry, but she doesn't want others to misunderstand, she wants sister Changle to give her jewelry, so she chooses here for a long time.

"I've already seen it, it's just this pearl hairpin," Ye Ling quickly picked up the red slender brocade box on the table, and said hastily.

At this time, Ye Lanting who was beside him also said: "The prince is too polite, since I brought Ling'er to buy jewelry today, how can I let the prince spend money?"

Holding the slender brocade box in her hand, Ye Ling nodded vigorously, that is, that is, how dare she accept the gift from Prince Zhao.

Shen Changle looked at the unified caliber of their brothers and sisters, and took the initiative to say: "Don't be like this, Ye Ling and Ji are a big deal, I should have given her a gift. I am also worried about what to give these days, now Since I met you at a jewelry store, it is fate. So I also thought, I might as well give jewelry, after all, who would dislike too many jewelry for a girl's family. "

Ye Ling was so moved that she almost cried, she looked up at her, "Sister Changle has always been the best to me."

Among the sisters in the family, Shen Changle and Shen Hui have the best relationship, but Shen Hui is the elder sister, so she is the younger sister in front of the older sister.As for the two younger sisters under her, Shen Yue is too thoughtful, she has never liked them very much.As for Shen Jin, she has a hot temper, and because of Lin's matter, she had an awkward fight with the whole family.So it seems that her enthusiasm for being a sister can only be used on Ye Ling.

After Ye Ling chose two pieces of jewelry, Shen Changle picked up the pearl hairpin, "I'll buy this one."

Among the two kinds of jewellery, this bead hairpin is inlaid with an oriental bead the size of a longan. Although the style is simple, the details are exquisite.So she immediately picked out the pearl hairpin and planned to buy it for Ye Ling.

"It's better for me to buy this pearl hairpin, after all, it's what Ling'er and I fancy together," Ye Lanting raised his head when Ye Ling said that he had chosen it.So it was natural to see Shen Changle taking the pearl hairpin. She thought she would buy it because of the preciousness of the pearl hairpin.

"Young master Ye, gifts are all from your heart, and it's the same for whoever buys them," Shen Changle said politely.

Ye Lanting has long been accustomed to her politeness, so even when he heard this sentence, Mrs. Ye, his heart just ached slightly.All these years, it was just an obsession in his heart.Chang Le never had the slightest response to him.Now the goddess is married, but he still can't let go.Over the years, he has habitually looked at her.

He smiled wryly in his heart, since when they entered the door just now, he saw their husband and wife standing together, a pair of dazzling couple, no matter who saw it, it was a match made in heaven.

The thing about her getting married before was just heard, but now he really saw it, he can only have a little joy in addition to the pain, the girl he likes is now happy.

"Young Master Ye and Miss Ye are family members, so don't argue with us this time," Ji Yu said with a smile on his face.

Husband and wife, hearing the words he deliberately emphasized, Shen Changle immediately turned to look at him.She never told anyone about Ye Lanting's thoughts.But even Ye Lanting himself never told her, she just saw the clue.But at this time, she frowned slightly and looked at Ji Yu, obviously his words didn't seem to be joking, and there was a bit of indescribable deliberation in it.

Ye Ling is the one with the purest mind among the few of them, so she didn't hear Ji Yu's implication at this time, but said shyly: "My lord and sister Changle gave me gifts. I was very happy, how can I Let you spend money."

So let her brother Lanting spend the money.

"It's okay, your elder sister Changle's dowry is generous, so it's okay to let her pay for it once," Ji Yu comforted with a light smile.

Ye Ling didn't expect him to say that, and was immediately dumbfounded.Didn't you say that Prince Zhao is stern and unparalleled?How could he be able to joke and make fun of people?

Shen Changle looked at him, and immediately said annoyedly: "My lord speaks such nonsense, it should be laughed at."

In fact, she was afraid that Ye Ling, a silly child, would take it seriously. After all, a woman's dowry is her private property, and neither her husband nor her husband's family can touch it.If any husband stares at his wife's dowry, he will be ridiculed if he speaks out.So Ji Yu really let go of her figure when she said this, but she was afraid that his joke would be too serious and people would take it seriously.

After all, a prince coveted her dowry, wouldn't it be a joke to say it.

"It's okay, it's okay, I know the prince must be joking, we won't take it seriously," Ye Ling quickly waved his hands and said with a smile.

After choosing the jewelry, it was time for lunch.Ji Yu asked someone to reserve the private room in Wangxian Tower early in the morning. Since he met the Ye family brothers and sisters, he naturally invited them to go there together.Of course Ye Ling wanted to go, but she also considered Ye Lanting's mood and looked back at his expression.

Ye Lanting nodded, cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Since it is the prince's personal invitation, it would be better to be respectful than obedient."

When they arrived at Wangxian Tower, Shen Changle and Ye Ling sat together, while Ji Yu sat next to Changle, and Ye Lanting took advantage of the opportunity to sit opposite Changle.

Just now when he was in Zhenbao Pavilion, after choosing Ye Ling's jewelry, King Zhao also ordered people to bring out other jewelry from the shop for Shen Changle to choose.Although they didn't talk much, Ye Lanting could feel the deep affection in every sentence.

If you haven't seen it in person before, you can pretend you don't know it.But now the girl he likes is really married to someone else.He suddenly felt heartache, the pain was cramp, as if he wanted to peel his most important thing from his body.

Maybe from now on, he can completely cut off his thoughts.

When ordering, the two girls were still talking about it with gusto, while Ji Yu on the side only made noise occasionally, and Ye Lanting rarely even raised his eyes.It's just that although his eyes are downcast, but his eyes are always looking towards the opposite side unconsciously. He can see her white palms placed on the edge of the table, the fingers are painted with light pink Danko, the palms are slender and white, and the nails are crystal clear and tender.

"Wangxianlou's crucian carp tofu soup is very good, you can try it," Ji Yu gave advice when the two were worrying about which soup to choose.

Shen Changle looked at him and asked curiously: "Why does the prince know everything?"

"It's just a coincidence," Ji Yu saw her curious face, and wanted to reach out to pinch her cheek, but just as he was about to reach out, he thought that there were two outsiders beside him.Don't think that this little thing can quarrel with him in private, but she doesn't care about face. If she teases her like this in front of outsiders, I'm afraid she will quarrel with him again after returning home.

So Ji Yu picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said lightly: "The dishes you ordered just now are considered Wangxianlou's specialty dishes. His chef came from Jiangnan, and he is the best at making Hangbang dishes." It's working."

"Hangbang cuisine, Brother Lanting likes to eat it the most," Ye Ling said quickly.

When Ye Lanting lived in her house before, his mother specially hired a cook who could cook Jiangnan cuisine for him.Cooks in the north have a strong taste, so her mother was afraid that Ye Lanting would not be used to it.

Ji Yu smiled and asked Xiaoer to go down to prepare, then turned to look at Ye Lanting, "Since Ye Gongzi likes it, then try the cook's skills here to see if it suits your taste."

Listening to his words, Shen Changle felt strange, why his words sounded like the master was speaking.As if this Wangxian Tower belongs to him?
Fortunately, she just thought about it in her heart and didn't ask.But Shen Changle made a serious note in his heart, he had to ask a good question when he went back.

While waiting for the meal, Shen Changle couldn't speak because he was hindered by the table etiquette, but he had already praised the cook several times in his heart.It is indeed delicious, even compared to the cooks of the palace, it is not much better.

Ye Ling couldn't help it, and finally said secretly next to her: "Sister Changle, the food here is really delicious, let's come back next time."

This little girl hasn't finished eating yet, she's already thinking about the next time.

But Shen Changle also nodded, expressing his agreement.

After lunch, it's time for Ye Ling to go back home, and Shen Changle still hasn't visited the shop yet.So the four of them parted ways downstairs, and before Ye Ling left, she reluctantly told her: "Sister Changle, remember to come when I reach Ji."

"Understood, Miss Ye's Jiji, even if you give me a hundred courage, I dare not forget." Shen Changle reached out and stroked the tip of her nose, telling her to get in the car quickly.Only then did Ye Ling support Ye Lanting's hand into the carriage.

After she went up, Ye Lanting turned to bid farewell to Ji Yu and Shen Changle.I saw him take a deep look at the two of them, and said very solemnly: "Thank you for the hospitality of the prince and princess today, and I will bid farewell to Ling'er."

"Master Ye, go slowly," Ji Yu smiled slightly, watching him leave.

Ye Lanting got into the carriage, and looked back before entering the carriage, at this time he had already held Shen Changle's hand.

She is really happy now.

After seeing off the Ye family brothers and sisters, Ji Yu took Shen Changle to see the rest of the shop, and then the two returned to the palace.

As soon as she got home, she couldn't help but sat down, and said repeatedly: "I'm so tired, this day has been really tossing."

"You just don't go out too often. Although it's winter and it's cold outside, you can't stay in the house all the time," Ji Yu naturally lifted her leg, put it on her own, and lightly touched her with the palm of her hand. Gently pinched her calf.

She stretched out her hand to hug him from the side, and leaned her head on her shoulder coquettishly, "But it's really cold outside, touch it, touch it, my face is almost freezing."

As she spoke, she still moved her face forward, Ji Yu looked at her with his head sideways, and lowered his head to kiss her on the cheek.When the slightly hot lips touched the cold skin, both of them trembled. When the lips left her cheek, he rubbed his ear and whispered, "It's really cold."

This... is not a foul.

But as soon as he raised his head, there was his gentle eyes. For the stern him, all the tenderness was her.

But at night, this emotion turned into boundless sorrow.Because she has been complaining that this winter is too cold, so even though she has been outside for so long today, she was still dragged to do a long exercise at night.When she was limp in his arms, she felt as if she was leaning against a stove.

Although she bought a gift for Ye Ling in Zhenbao Pavilion, but she was going to participate in Jiji, of course she would not be empty-handed.So she specially prepared a pair of bracelets and planned to give them to her.

Because when she went to the shop before, she had said that she would meet them soon.So a few days after she came back, she sent someone to invite the shopkeepers of several shops, and asked them to come and talk to the palace.

When the shopkeepers heard this, they were overjoyed, and hurriedly prepared the account books and prepared to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion.

That morning, Shen Changle rarely got up early, so he asked Chunliu to find a set of solemn and gorgeous clothes to come out.She is already young, if she doesn't dress more solemnly, I'm afraid that these shopkeepers will despise her in their hearts.

But when she saw someone, she realized that she really thought too much.

Although she hadn't seen these shopkeepers before, the account books were handed in on time, so she just flipped through the account books a little and started talking with everyone.

But at this moment, a carriage hurriedly came to the gatehouse, and a maid ran out of it, saying that she wanted to see the princess.The concierge naturally asked her for a name card. If the princess invited guests, there would be a name card.

"I am a girl from the Ye family, and my young lady is Miss Ye Lingye, and she came to the palace as a guest a few days ago," the little maid said anxiously with red eyes.

When the concierge heard that it was the maid next to Miss Ye's family, he was naturally impressed.It's just that she didn't have a name card, so she just came here, and the concierge didn't dare to let her in.But Miss Ye is a distinguished guest of the princess, so she dare not leave Ye Ling's maid in the air.

So the concierge thought for a while, and said: "At this time, the princess is receiving guests, I will help you find Miss Chunliu, please come over."

When the concierge found Chunliu, as soon as she heard that it was Ye Ling's maid, she hurried over to pick him up in person.

When he got to the door, as soon as Fang saw the little maid, he saw her crying and shouting: "Sister Chunliu, please take me to see the princess."

"What's the matter?" Chunliu became anxious seeing her like this.

"Something happened to my young lady and Master Lanting."
