493. The palace maid wants to retire (19)
"You can play anything, watch monkeys, go to the theater, go shopping..." Shi Ru said enthusiastically, "We couldn't go out on the street openly before, but now we are finally a couple. We have to make up for what we haven't experienced before."
?"
When Wen Shichu saw the expectant look on his face, he nodded: "Okay."
Shi Ru was so happy that he couldn't help but kissed Wen Shichu on the cheek: "Madam, you are so kind!"
Wen Shichu was in good physical condition and had returned to normal a long time ago, so seeing that Shi Ru was so interested in going out for fun, we went shopping with him.
They held hands openly and openly along the way, not shying away from the strange looks of others.
"Oh, the world is really deteriorating, and people's hearts are not as old as before! A man and a woman are actually holding hands in broad daylight, how decent is it?!" Those conservative and feudal people behind them suddenly saw the hands held by Shi Ru and Wen Shichu.
As if seeing something unpleasant, frowning and criticizing.
"Old man, shut up! This is General Shi. General Shi just got married yesterday. What's wrong with taking the bride out to play today? If you can't stand it, don't look at it! What are you talking about?" The old woman next to the old man glared.
He retorted with his eyes closed.
"General Shi? General Shi can't do this. Even between husband and wife, they should observe etiquette outside. How could he do such a shocking move?" The old man kept chattering.
The old lady rolled her eyes and said, "What's wrong with a newlywed couple holding hands after just getting married? You just got married to me, and when we were having dinner at home, didn't you secretly hold my hand under the table?
Why do you look down upon young people doing this now?"
The old man suddenly blushed at what she said: "How can it be the same? You and I were at home, and no one else knew, but they were on the street, which is completely different!"
"Shut up!" the old lady sneered, "That's because you don't have the guts!"
When Shi Chu heard this, she naturally heard the conversation between the old couple behind her, and couldn't help laughing. Shi Ru took her hand and shook it, saying: "Are you envious? When we get to their age, we will also go to the street to watch them.
The newlyweds hold hands, okay?"
"Okay." Wen Shichu glanced at him with bright and charming eyes and said.
Shi Ru's heart suddenly felt as if honey had flowed through it, and it was sweet.
The old couple behind him, who were like happy enemies, had gone far away. Shi Ru still held Wen Shichu's hand and walked as if no one else was around. Some people on the street recognized him. After all, people in this capital have blue eyes.
There was only one person named Shi Ru, not to mention he was full of momentum. Even though his expression was gentle towards Wen Shichu, his whole body was intimidating.
No one dared to get close to him. They only dared to whisper about the news they saw today after he was far away.
In a restaurant on the street, the Minister of Rites looked at Shi Ru and Wen Shichu. He couldn't help but stroked his beard and said, "I didn't expect that Shi Ru, the god of death, could have such a gentle side towards women. It's really shocking."
Surprised."
The eldest prince leaned against the window, looked at their voices with complicated eyes, and said: "That must be the woman he likes. So many people wanted to marry him before. Xiaojiabiyu, a young lady, and even my father, the most beloved
He rejected all the nine princesses without hesitation. I thought he would find some kind of fairy, but I didn’t expect that he actually found an older palace maid!"
Although Shi Ru has now retired from the front lines of the battlefield and handed over his military power, no one can shake his status as the number one general based on his unparalleled achievements.
What's more, there are very few generals available now, and the Prairie King in the north is starting to make moves again. It is likely that he will invade the border again this autumn, and it may even be not just a border invasion, but an invasion.
Therefore, even though the young and capable Shi Zhu seems to be at leisure now, everyone knows that if the Prairie King really invades the border, he will still be the main force resisting foreign enemies.
The eldest prince wanted to win over such a person even if he looked down on his low-priced bloodline. Therefore, he once wanted to marry a cousin from his mother's clan to Shi Li in order to bring the general on board his ship, but
But Shi Ru didn't give him any face. He directly said that he was not interested in his cousin and told him not to bother him. His cousin was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to go out for more than half a year.
In addition to the eldest prince himself, as well as his ambitious younger brothers, other princes and nobles all wanted to marry Shi Li. They wanted to give him women even if they didn't marry. Unfortunately, Shi Li never agreed, and even stripped off and climbed into his bed naked.
Any woman can be thrown out the door without hesitation.
So over time, everyone thought that he was no longer interested in women, but unexpectedly, he suddenly found a wife who no one expected.
The eldest prince was in a complicated mood. He had naturally investigated Wen Shichu's identity. Before she left the palace, she was the emcee of the queen's palace. She was unknown and very ordinary. But after she left the palace, she unexpectedly became famous and fascinated Shi Ru.
, directly became the general’s wife.
The eldest prince couldn't help but praise her for her "good tricks"! He thought she was very smart. She didn't stand out when she was in the palace, probably just to get out of the palace smoothly.
Everyone has their own ambitions. A woman like her has clear goals and does not want to be a concubine. After all, if she had wanted to, she would have hooked up with the emperor when she was in the Queen's Palace, but she didn't.
It wasn't until he left the palace that he captured Shi Li in one fell swoop. Even though Shi Li was from a bad background, it was enough for her to be an old palace maid.
The eldest prince thought that Wen Shichu was very scheming, but he didn't know that Wen Shichu was actually just seeing and lusting after him, and just fell in love with Shi Ru's good looks. How could he have so many complicated thoughts?
"Uncle, since Shi Ru is married, let's start with his wife. His wife is just a palace maid, so she shouldn't be as difficult to capture as Shi Ru." The eldest prince said to the Minister of Rites, who was his uncle.

"Okay, I'll let your cousins and sisters-in-law make friends with her." The Minister of Etiquette agreed. In his opinion, although Wen Shichu had great tricks and made Shi Ru fall in love with her, she was still just a woman.
It's not too difficult to win her over.
Wen Shichu didn't know that she had been targeted, or that she was someone with malicious intentions who wanted to use her to drag Shi Ru down.
She was having a great time with Shi Rui, watching the sideshows with the people, and was so happy that she rewarded her with some money. She also went to the teahouse to listen to Mr. Shu's story, and cheered with the guests...
