Rebirth of a wishful life

Chapter 116

When it was almost time for the old lady's birthday banquet, the sixth prince came over again, this time not only bringing some books for Shen Ruyi, but also some more expensive things: "This is the birthday gift I gave to the old lady first, wait When the old lady celebrates her birthday, I will give you another one."

Sen Ruyi raised her eyebrows, if she didn't want to worry about her reputation, she really wanted to say to the sixth prince that you don't need to give it away, no matter how expensive the thing is, as long as he will marry her in the future, the old lady will not like it.

However, just give it away, anyway, if you put it with the old lady, you don't have to worry about being sold off.

"Okay, I'll help you send these to my grandmother later." After all, what the old lady did was considered a scandal in the Shen family. Shen Ruyi didn't want to talk about it. The old lady never showed her face in the capital, so no one guessed it.But Marquis Shen and Mrs. Shen came to invite the imperial physician again and again, and what the imperial physician said was mostly official words.

Therefore, even if someone has any guesses, they should be kept in the bottom of their hearts.The sixth prince is smart, but how many years has he been out of the palace?With all the calculations, less than a year, the things outside the palace are naturally unclear, and I have never met the old lady, so I don't know what kind of person the old lady is.

In his opinion, the elderly elders should be resting, just like the empress dowager in the Forbidden City. Since she became the empress dowager, she has never interfered in the affairs of the harem. Leave it to the queen.

When the empress dowager felt lonely, she asked the theater troupe to sing a few times, or let the ladies in the capital come in to talk, or just to meet friends from the older generation.At most, the old lady in the Hou's mansion didn't like to go out a little bit, and for the rest, in his opinion, it was quite normal.

Shen Ruyi naturally wouldn't explain to him much at the moment, besides, even if she explained, the Sixth Prince still had to give him the birthday gift that should be given.In order to maintain a good reputation, even if the heart is terrified, it is still necessary to be very thorough on the surface, so that no one can find a single fault.

"By the way, my fourth brother has returned to Beijing. My father said that he wants to choose a wife for my fourth brother. Our marriage can only be granted after my fourth brother's decision." Si's fiancée died, so he couldn't let the fifth child not get married, so he took care of the fifth's affairs first.

And when it comes to the sixth prince, the sixth prince is not too old at first, although he is just right, but Shen Ruyi has just reached the age of Ji, and he is only seventeen after the new year.Therefore, it doesn't matter if you wait for a year or so. Lord Shen Hou will definitely not agree to let his daughter get married early, so the emperor is not in a hurry.

Secondly, the sixth prince's marriage has not been announced yet, so it's hard to get past his elder brother.Seniors and young are in order, no matter what, the fourth prince has to settle down first before talking about the sixth prince.

"The fourth prince has returned to the capital? The war over there is already over?" Shen Ruyi was a little surprised, because of his memory, the fourth prince didn't seem to come back so early.In my previous life, I was taken back to the Hou's Mansion when I was Jiji, and the fourth prince hadn't returned to Beijing at that time, so at the beginning, she had no sense of presence in the Hou's Mansion, except for Shen Yunrou and Shen Jiamei who would be on her. Looking for a sense of superiority, Master Shen and others, just pretend that she doesn't exist.

But in winter, when the Fourth Prince came to marry the girl from the Shen family, she was remembered.The fourth prince was disfigured, and there was no hope of inheriting the great treasure, so he could only choose one brother to assist him, one to win over Lord Shen and the other to save his life.

Although he succumbed to his brother and would no longer participate in the seizure of the throne, the things he did before were not untraceable, and the brother he chose did not necessarily trust him completely.And Lord Shen is a life-saving talisman.As long as Lord Shen is still standing in the court hall, the son-in-law of Lord Shen will also be able to live.

Mrs. Shen couldn't see such a situation, but Aunt Wang could vaguely touch it.Furthermore, there were side concubines in the fourth prince's mansion at that time. Although her background was not as good as that of the Hou's mansion, she was a concubine. If Shen Yunrou married the fourth prince, she, who was born as a concubine, would not be able to suppress those prostitutes at all.

Aunt Wang sensed the danger, and Shen Yunrou didn't like a disfigured old man, so Shen Ruyi, the unmarried pro daughter, became a shield.

When she first came back to her soul, Shen Ruyi also hated and complained.But not long after returning to Beijing, she felt a little relieved.Although Aunt Wang pushed her into the fire pit, after all, what does Aunt Wang have to do with her?The only one Aunt Wang wants to protect is Shen Yunrou and Shen Mingxiu. Furthermore, Aunt Wang has never treated her badly in terms of dowry.

Even, because she replaced Shen Yunrou, Aunt Wang specially persuaded Lord Shen to add [-]% of the dowry.

Aunt Wang is not Shen Ruyi's relative, why should Shen Ruyi criticize Aunt Wang for treating her badly?

Now that she helped Mrs. Shen gain a firm foothold in the Hou Mansion, it was already the biggest punishment for Aunt Wang.Because in this life, no matter how hard Aunt Wang tries, she will never be able to hold the Hou Mansion as firmly as she did in her previous life.

The most important thing is that Mrs. Shen has already avenged Shen Ruyi in her previous life. In her previous life, Shen Mingxiu inherited the title of Marquis. Possibly another heir to the title.

Therefore, Shen Ruyi no longer wanted to keep her resentment towards Aunt Wang in her heart.Her life is getting better and better, Mrs. Shen's life is getting happier and better, and her younger brother will be better and better in the future. That is the thorn in Aunt Wang's throat that cannot be removed.

Can't swallow, can't spit out, no matter how smart Aunt Wang is, no matter how well she thinks, she can't be completely relieved.

"The battle at the border has almost stabilized." Shen Ruyi was in a daze, and the voice of the sixth prince suddenly woke her up: "If it weren't for this, the fourth brother would not have come back so early. The fourth brother was injured on the battlefield before, especially Thrilling, just a little bit, cut to the neck, fortunately, the fourth brother was pushed, and the knife only cut on the shoulder of the fourth brother."

The sixth prince said with a smile: "Fourth brother, auspicious people have their own celestial features, and if they survive a catastrophe, they will have future blessings."

"It hurt on the shoulder?" Shen Ruyi was a little surprised, didn't it hurt on the face?Could it be that it is different from the previous life?If the fourth prince hadn't been injured on his face, wouldn't it be possible for him to seize the throne?
"Yes, such a deep gash, if scratched on the face, it will definitely disfigure." The sixth prince made a gesture, and Shen Ruyi pursed her lips: "The fourth prince didn't have any injuries on his face, did he?"

"Of course not. Didn't I tell you just now that the fourth brother was pushed by someone, did he escape? It was only cut on the shoulder." The sixth prince repeated it again, and Shen Ruyi rubbed her cheeks: "I was just now Thinking about other things, I didn't hear this sentence."

"What are you thinking?" The Fourth Prince hurriedly asked, Shen Ruyi paused, hesitated, and said: "Your fourth brother is back, is the situation in the capital going to change again?"

The fourth prince was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "These things are not for us to ask. Don't worry, even if there are changes, it will probably not be too big. It's not that the fourth brother is not in the capital all the year round. He was still there during the Chinese New Year last year." .”

"However, the fourth prince won the battle..." Shen Ruyi was very complicated. If the fourth prince hadn't been injured on his face, would he be able to fight for the throne again?She has no love for the fourth prince in her heart, and she can't say any deep-seated hatred. It's just that when she thinks about her previous life, she feels a little uncomfortable. If the fourth prince is proud, she will be even more uncomfortable.

But in all fairness, the fourth prince is really good, calm and dignified, with an imposing manner.For the country and the people, the mentality and goals are very positive.If he really became the emperor, he might not be worse than the Eighth Prince.

However, at present, it seems that the fourth prince has a lot of advantages.Among all the princes, only the fourth prince has military exploits.It turned out that he was one of the better ones among the princes, he didn't form cliques very much, instead he devoted himself to completing the errands ordered by the emperor.

Even in such a dangerous place as the battlefield, other princes were unwilling to go in person in order to avoid accidents, but he didn't care. He went there again and again, but this time he came back injured.

In terms of age, the fourth prince is also the head of the house... Well, in the royal family, when the emperor's life is particularly long, it is obviously not a good situation for the prince to be the head of the house.

"It's okay. Although the fourth brother has won the battle, he didn't want to reward him when the father said before." The sixth prince said with a smile: "The fourth brother wants to marry a wife. I just let the official media inquire about it at home. As for the temperament of a lady in the capital, don't tell others, the fourth brother just wants to inquire quietly, and he doesn't want to make it too big."

"Will you marry the concubine first?" After a pause, Shen Ruyi asked, and the sixth prince nodded: "Of course I want to marry the concubine first, but it's almost settled, and the emperor is also very worried about the marriage of the fourth brother. Ask the imperial grandmother to help you pay attention, after a while, there will definitely be more banquets in the palace, and the imperial grandmother will definitely let you enter the palace."

The emperor will not keep the matter of Shen Ruyi and the sixth prince from the empress dowager, and the empress dowager will naturally take advantage of various banquets to meet her grandson-in-law.If the impression is good, then it will become common in the future.

The impression is not good, Shen Ruyi does not dare to do things that destroy the Great Wall.Besides, Shen Ruyi and Shen Furen owed the empress dowager a big favor for Mrs. Shen's festival of filial piety, and Shen Ruyi was sincerely grateful to this old man.When we meet each other, we feel close and respected from the bottom of our hearts.

"Did your fourth brother say whose family he has his eyes on?" Shen Ruyi was a little curious about this, not knowing whose family's girl could fall into the fourth prince's eyes.If the four princes get married, does that mean that the previous life and this life are really completely separated?
She no longer has to worry about what happened in her previous life will happen in this life?Does that mean you don't have to worry about Mrs. Shen's life anymore?Is it true that the old lady and the second and third bedrooms will not succeed?
"I don't know. The fourth brother is picky and picky. The requirements are too right. He must be dignified and virtuous, he must be a good housekeeper, he must be good-looking, and he must have a good family style. He has high requirements in all aspects. , how can there be such a perfect thing.” Then, the sixth prince learned to talk love words without a teacher: “Fortunately, I settled you down early. You are not only very good at being a virtuous and dignified housekeeper, you are also very good at Gentle and considerate, talented..."

Shen Ruyi blushed: "Okay, who told you to say this..."

The sixth prince couldn't help laughing: "Ruyi, I'm telling the truth. I was lucky enough to meet you in the palace last year during the Chinese New Year. I have saved up eight lifetimes of good fortune. I spent it all on that day. The luckiest thing in my life." The thing is that you were settled early."

Shen Ruyi's face turned even redder. Lord Shen Hou went out after lunch today, and couldn't stop the Sixth Prince's footsteps.At this moment, he and Shen Ruyi were talking in the small garden in the front yard. This small garden was specially built by Lord Shen. If you are tired from reading, or you have guests, you can take a walk here.

The weather is fine and the atmosphere is harmonious.With the beauty in front of him and the one he loves, the sixth prince is ready to move.

Seeing that Shen Ruyi lowered her head, she moved her body quietly, quietly, and rubbed against Shen Ruyi a little.Seeing Shen Ruyi looking over, she quickly smiled: "Ruyi, are you hot?"

Shen Ruyi shook her head in confusion, how hot can it be in the weather that is almost October?The sun is shining now, but it is very comfortable.

"Why, you feel a little hot? How about we go back?" Shen Ruyi turned her head to look at the study, and was about to get up when the sixth prince grabbed her sleeve again: "It's not hot, I'm just worried about you It will feel hot, would you like some tea?"

Shen Ruyi shook her head, then asked after a pause, "Do you want some tea? Or some snacks? I made my own snacks this morning, but I'm afraid it's a bit cold right now."

"It's okay, it's delicious when it's cold." The sixth prince nodded hurriedly, and while Shen Ruyi ordered someone to serve some snacks, he rubbed against Shen Ruyi's side. When Shen Ruyi turned around, he almost missed the sixth prince's head. The prince smiled silly, wiped his palms on his clothes, and kept cheering himself up in his heart. Then, taking advantage of Lord Shen's absence, the sixth prince, who had eaten the courage of the ambitious leopard, made a fierce move and knocked Shen Ruyi's body away. Hand caught.

Immediately, the sixth prince laughed even more stupidly. This little hand looked white and tender, but when touched, it was as soft and smooth as imagined, and it was even more delicate than any silk he had ever touched!

Shen Ruyi was already stunned, and the sixth prince coughed lightly: "Well, Ruyi, I..."

Shen Ruyi blinked, moved her hand, and the sixth prince hurriedly clenched it: "Well, I have something to discuss with you."

"Tell me." Shen Ru couldn't get rid of her opinion, her face was flushed, and she didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of the sixth prince. She had lived two lifetimes, and she had never experienced such a thing.It was the first time that a man held his hand, the first time that a man stared at him with such fiery eyes, and the first time he felt his heart beating too fast.

"I..." The sixth prince racked his brains to think about the topic, what should he say?What happened in the court?Ruyi doesn't know if she's interested or not, it's a battle between men, Ruyi probably doesn't like it, right?Talk about your past fun?Well, I can't talk about embarrassing things, it seems that I haven't experienced any funny things, right?In addition to reading books every day is reading.

Tell me about the new house?The drawings haven't been drawn yet.Imagine a bright future that seems to have been envisioned before.

"When we get married, let's go to Jiangnan for a walk?" After a long while, the sixth prince's forehead was sweating, and then he thought of a more suitable topic: "Before, I only read various travel notes. , but I have never seen it with my own eyes. It is a pity that no matter how realistic and beautiful it is written in the book, I used to think that when I have a chance in the future, I must go out and travel. Linhai, the grasslands in the north, the vastness in the west, the openness in the east, the beautiful scenery of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the humanities in the south of the Yangtze River, I want to have a look.”

"There are also delicacies from various places, sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy. I also want to taste them." Originally, I just thought of a topic in a hurry, but as I continued, the sixth prince's eyes became brighter and his expression became more yearning: " After we get married, let's take a look around, okay?"

Shen Ruyi hesitated, and the sixth prince quickly squeezed her palm: "Don't rush to answer, wait until you think it over."

"Okay, I am willing, but not in the last five years." Shen Ruyi was also a little moved by the words, no matter in her previous life or in this life, she didn't have many opportunities to go out.Even, in her previous life, there were only three places where she had set foot enough—Qingshan Town in Daming Mansion, Hou Mansion in the capital, and Wang Mansion in the capital.
