Harem Pampered Beauty: Chen Xiangxue

Chapter 28

When she wanted to take a closer look at him, he had already got up and said behind his back, "I'm going to the study."

She sat up from the bed, thinking about it carefully, she felt that the relationship between Shen Youxin and him was not what An Xiang guessed.She observed carefully, he didn't show any affection in front of Shen Youxin.But, since he didn't like her, why did he keep her in the palace?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt strange, so after breakfast the next morning, she went to the guest house full of curiosity.

When Shen Youxin saw her, she showed a gentle and playful smile, "Did sister-in-law sleep well last night?"

"Very good." Murong Xue suddenly felt a little embarrassed, as if she and Yeluyan had an awkward quarrel last night and were seen by others.

Shen Youxin ordered Qian'er to serve tea, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law's cooking is really good, can you teach me when you have time?"

Murong Xue sighed slightly, "I really want to teach you, but the prince said, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen, I'm afraid that if he knows that I teach you how to cook, he will be so angry that his beard will stick out."

Shen You smiled heartily: "Cousin doesn't care about these things. I'm just afraid that I'm clumsy and I won't be able to learn."

"It's very simple, as long as you have heart and love, there is nothing you can't learn." As soon as Murong Xue mentioned her strengths, she immediately smiled confidently, brightly and charmingly.

Shen You smiled heartily: "Anyway, I have nothing to do when I'm idle, if my sister-in-law doesn't think I'm stupid, she can teach me a few dishes." She was very envious of Murong Xue's cooking skills, and admired her exquisite thoughtfulness in cooking, She felt that such a lively and bright woman was more suitable for Yeluyan. However, she might not like the one that suits her. Many people in the world can't see the beautiful flowers around them, and they only yearn for the beauty of the moon.

Seeing that she really wanted to learn, Murong Xue asked Qian'er to get a pen and ink, and wrote down some of her best skills.

Shen You was quite touched, she never thought that she would give away the best dishes without any secrets.She has lived in Zhaoyang Prince's Mansion for three months, and she knows all about the rumors in the mansion without asking.She is an ice-snow and smart woman, and Murong Xue is just an upright character, with every frown and smile expressing her own thoughts.Shen Youxin guessed why she came to Sheqing, but she didn't want to explain it at all at first. If Murong Xue didn't believe it, no matter how she explained it, the description would become darker and darker, and it would appear that she had no silver 300 taels here.

But now, she fell in love with Murong Xue, seeing her sincerity and sincerity towards Yeluyan, and thinking of herself, she couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy.

When Murong Xue finished writing the recipe of the Sixi meatballs, Shen Youxin put away the recipe and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, do you know why I live in the palace?"

"Why?" Murong Xue felt that her heart was about to stop beating for a moment.She swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if she wanted to swallow the heart in her throat.

"Both of my parents died, and the eldest brother Shen Canglang was in charge of the family. He was an uneducated and incompetent dude. His father's family property was about to be wiped out by him, so the calculation fell on me. It just so happened that Princess Chengxi passed away. Marry a concubine." Speaking of this, Shen Youxin smiled sadly: "King Chengxi is famous for being lustful, and there are more than 20 concubines in his mansion. Of course, I would not marry such a person. My eldest brother arranged for me to marry you on the Shangsi Festival. Drunk, and called King Cheng Xi, if it wasn't for my cousin who just happened to meet, "Speaking of this, Shen Youxin stopped talking, and the rest of the plot is the so-called struggle between the two kings that good people in the capital love to talk about. A girl's romantic drama is over.

Murong Xue said angrily: "Is your elder brother still human? He actually framed his own sister."

Shen Youxin sighed helplessly: "He only has money in his eyes."

Although Murong Xue now understands why Shen Youxin lives in the palace, she still wonders in her heart whether Yeluyan likes Shen Youxin or not?Is it because he is afraid that Shen Canglang will harm her that he protects her, or is it because he really likes her that he hides her in the golden house?
Of course Shen Youxin knew what she was thinking, so she explained: "Cousin doesn't have any selfish intentions. What happened on the day of the Shangsi Festival, I was very scared, so I begged my cousin to let me live in Zhaoyang Palace for refuge. Afraid of my cousin, naturally I dare not come to the palace to ask for someone."

When Murong Xue heard these words, she suddenly felt a lot more comfortable in her heart. It turned out that it was not Yeluyan who took her here, but she took the initiative to live in it.She said with concern: "I'm afraid it's not good for my sister's reputation."

Shen Youxin smiled meaninglessly: "I would rather lose my reputation than marry Cheng Xi Wang."

When Murong Xue heard these words, she immediately felt a sense of understanding, she said excitedly: "Me too, I would rather die than marry someone I don't like."

Shen Youxin heard that there was something in her words, and couldn't help asking curiously: "Sister-in-law married cousin, is there any other story?"

"Of course." Murong Xue was just about to tell the story between herself and Yeluyan, but then she thought, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, even if she is Yeluyan's cousin, she can't say it clearly, so she stopped in time and just said This is the story of her own initiative to ask Concubine Zhao Shu to marry Yeluyan.

Shen Youxin sighed in amazement: "Sister-in-law, you are really bold and daring." The petite and exquisite Jiangnan woman in front of her is simply a mythical existence. That small body and cute face actually contain such a powerful energy.Shen You sincerely admired and envied her, and her heart was about to move.

"I only plan to marry once in my life, so of course I want to marry the person I like. It's rare for a pie to fall in the sky, but nothing in this world is as long as there is a heart, and you must work hard for your own happiness. This is once in this world." Murong Xue smiled proudly, her face was full of brilliant light, her happiness was enviable.

Shen Youxin's heart was surging, and finally couldn't help but speak out what was on her mind. "Sister-in-law, do you know that I also have someone I like."

"Who is it?" After Murong Xue asked, she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe.Whether it was Yeluyan or not, until now, she was still not sure, and she was confused when she was concerned about him. Once he was involved, she felt that her brain became a paste for pasting Spring Festival couplets, and she completely lost the aura of ice and snow intelligence.

However, when Shen Youxin talked about her sweetheart, out of the girl's shyness, she became hesitant, and it took a long time before she replied shyly: "He is the son of my wet nurse, his name is Xie Zhi."

One word was like a spring breeze, blowing away the heavy dark clouds in Murong Xue's heart, she was both happy and curious, "Why doesn't my sister like the lord?"

"Sister-in-law, even if it's money, not everyone loves it, and some people even regard money as dung." Shen You smiled heartily, and said in his heart, you regard your cousin as the person on top of your heart, but in my eyes, He is indifferent and boring, not as gentle and considerate as Xie Zhi.

Murong Xue: "...." In her heart, Yeluyan is certainly not silver, he is more attractive than gold.Once it was confirmed that Shen Youxin was not Yeluyan's sweetheart, Murong Xue immediately regarded her as her dear cousin and enthusiastically started planning for her.

"It's not a solution for my sister to hide like this. Why don't we go to Xie Zhi and find each other happy?"

"Marriage is an important matter, and it must be ordered by the parents and the words of the matchmaker. Our status is very different, and the eldest brother will never agree."

Murong Xue breathed out, "Sister, I think you have read a lot, and you are a bit pedantic. Your parents are away, and your elder brother has no virtue, so you should be in charge of the family. Since your elder brother regards you as a cash cow, why do you need him when you marry?" agree?"

Shen Youxin smiled shyly: "I don't have the courage of my sister-in-law."

"There are flowers that can be broken and broken, don't wait until there are no flowers and broken branches. Isn't it a waste of time for you to hide in the palace like this? It's better to burn the boat and go to pursue your own happiness. You must be happy in life. Who knows if you will lose your braids tomorrow .”

Looking at Murong Xue's impassioned and pretty face, all Shen Youxin's desires were aroused.That's right, hiding like this is not a long-term solution, it's better to cook rice than raw rice, the Shen family will admit it, if not, she and Xie Zhi will stay away from the capital and live their own lives.

"Sister-in-law, can you do me a favor?"

"Sister, just open your mouth, as long as I can do it, it's nothing to worry about."

Shen Youxin said in a low voice: "Please sister-in-law take me out of the house to meet him."

"He lives in Shen's house?"

Shen Youxin nodded, "I don't dare to go back, I'm afraid I'll be trapped at home by my elder brother and I won't be able to get out again."

"Okay, I'll take you to see him tomorrow." Murong Xue agreed excitedly, feeling like a chivalrous Yuelao.

"Sister-in-law, don't let my cousin know, he won't allow me to leave the house."

"Ok."

"Thank you sister-in-law."

Murong Xue said sweetly: "Ai Wu Ji Wu, you are his cousin, so I naturally want to treat you well."

Shen Youxin praised sincerely: "Sister-in-law is so kind, cousin married you, it is really his life's blessing."

Murong Xue sighed: "I also think he is very lucky to have married me, but unfortunately he doesn't like me very much."

Shen Youxin smiled sweetly: "Sister-in-law, cousin likes you."

Murong Xue's eyes lit up, and she asked half-believingly, "Really? How can you tell?"

"He often looks helpless in front of his sister-in-law."

Murong Xue asked nervously: "Does that mean it bothers me?"

Shen You smiled heartily, "It means that you are not willing to blame."

"However, he never said he liked me, and I wanted to live with him, but I was rejected." Murong Xue thought of the scene where he was kicked out of Yintao Pavilion by him that night, her eyes were sore, and she couldn't continue.Although he later took her back in person, it wasn't his wish from the bottom of his heart, he just didn't want her to live in the guest house.

"My cousin doesn't let my sister-in-law live in Yintao Pavilion, it's also for my sister-in-law's sake."

"For my sake?" Murong Xue was puzzled.

"Perhaps my cousin is afraid of marrying a concubine in the future. When she hears that you have lived in the Yintao Pavilion, she will feel resentful and treat you badly."

Shen Youxin wanted to comfort Murong Xue with good intentions, but who knew that he stabbed her hard in the heart, blood splattered everywhere, and she turned pale from the pain.So it turned out that she didn't think of this level, that Yintao Pavilion is a place where only the main concubine is eligible to live, and she is just a side concubine.

Shen Youxin couldn't help being startled when she saw such a sad and lost look on her face, and thought, did she never think that Yeluyan would marry the concubine Zheng?

Yes, she really hadn't thought about it, subconsciously she didn't want to think about it, and she didn't dare to think about it.She just thought about how to make Yeluyan fall in love with her, how to make him only have her in his heart, how to block the three thousand weak waters so that only he can see her own.

However, just because something she hadn't thought about didn't mean it wouldn't exist.Shen Youxin's words made her wake up all of a sudden.

She left Kesheqing, walked slowly along the creek to Yintao Pavilion, stopped and looked at this majestic and ingenious building, feeling infinitely sad and desolate in her heart, so what if she lived in it?This is not his own place, if one day he marries the concubine, he will drive out himself who has occupied the magpie's nest.

Everyone will read her jokes, including him too?

Thinking of that moment, she felt that the blood all over her body was frozen, and a gust of cold breath rose from the soles of her feet, dyeing her face as white as snow, without a trace of blood.

She stood at the door in a trance, as if her feet weighed a thousand catties, and she couldn't take another step.

Ding Xiang and Pei Lan looked at each other in blank dismay, not knowing why the young lady stood at the door for a long time in a daze.

After a long time, Murong Xue said in a low voice with a hoarse voice, "Go and take all my things back to the Meiguan."

"Why?" Ding Xiang was puzzled, Miss Xindao, didn't you work so hard to live in the Yintao Pavilion?
Pei Lan also said anxiously: "Miss, the canopy bed in Meiguan hasn't been finished yet..."

Murong Xue didn't answer, turned around and walked towards the back garden.
