Chapter Thirty-Nine

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Chuntao saw Shen Fu looking at the water with a confused smile in his eyes. She felt that her prince must be in a good mood, so she boldly interrupted his reverie. The cousin was still waiting for her reply. Now, It was too sunny by the Cloud Pool, and I don’t know why the prince chose such a place.

"Oh," Shen Fu came to his senses and saw that the little maid next to him was still looking up and waiting for his reply. After thinking about it, he ordered her: "Then go back and tell Miss Cousin that after dinner, I will meet you in the study. She, right now... still has some things to deal with."

In fact, it is better to see her now. After all, it is daytime, so there is no need to avoid suspicion. However, I still feel a little embarrassed. Let's take it easy for a while. Although, I actually want to see her again and talk to her. Of course, the main reason is that I want to see her again and talk to her again. Learn about that "more advanced, more developed" world with her.

Thinking of this, Shen Fu somehow found himself looking forward to the meeting between the two of them in the evening...

Zhou Heng, perhaps because he drank the medicine, woke up at dusk, but after trying it, he found that as long as he didn't touch the lump on his head, there was only a faint feeling of pain.

When I slowly sat up, I didn't feel dizzy, so I slowly got out of bed and walked around. Fortunately, I didn't feel like vomiting, and my strength returned.

Not only that, after Xiao Chuntao came in and listened to Shen Fu's reply, Zhou Heng was surprised to hear his stomach growling.

I had lost my appetite and couldn't eat before, but it seemed that my body was recovering. I picked up the bronze mirror and looked at it again. I felt that the swelling on my face had also disappeared. This was strongly recognized by Chuntao. Anyway, Shen Fu said If you come at night and it’s dark, you won’t be able to see clearly!

Instantly I felt very happy, okay, I finally escaped from death! Zhou Heng happily asked Chuntao: "What's for dinner? Can I skip the porridge? I want to eat some rice, noodles are fine too!"

The answer he got was of course no problem. After that, Zhou Heng had a delicious dinner, which made Grandma Shen next to him very happy: "Miss Cousin, please eat slowly!"

In fact, Aunt Shen wanted to persuade Zhou Heng to eat less. After all, it was dinner, and she had only had a bowl of porridge all day long. However, she looked like she was fine, so that was fine, she had eaten too much anyway. At some point, the prince will come over in the evening, and the two of them can talk for a while, and after all, they are young people and their stomachs are good.

It can be said that Nanny Shen's perception of this cousin has changed greatly. Before, she felt that Miss Zhou had surpassed her prince and that this girl was too arrogant and willful. But now through this day After a night of personal service, I felt that I was quite polite and sensible.

More importantly, as one of the few people who knew about Zhou Heng's escape from death, she learned that Miss Cousin, a charming young lady, could grit her teeth and climb up the bank all by herself from the Liuhe River and find her way back to Prince Jing's Mansion. Grandma was shocked at first, and then she felt deep admiration.

Miss Cousin is a beautiful little girl who was raised in a boudoir. She is only twenty years old by all means, but she can calmly judge the situation after suffering a sudden murder, and can deal with the situation without leaving any trace. Looking for help to seek refuge in Prince Jing's Mansion, I have to say that even at my age, I may not be able to do it.

Because the prince lost his mother and concubine a long time ago, and the old prince also passed away a few years ago, the burden of such a large prince's palace now falls on the prince alone. Therefore, as an old man in the palace, he has been taking care of the Shen family siblings these years. As the two grew up, Grandma Shen had high hopes for the future Princess Jing.

Miss Biao's previous performance cannot be said to be disappointing. Anyway, she was just an ordinary noble girl at best. In a noble family, whose ladies are not all pampered? Although the Zhou family is no better than before, it is still the same. For a family related to the royal family, the legitimate daughter of his family is naturally of high value. It is normal for her to be a little indulgent. Otherwise, the Zhou family would not follow her wishes and ask for this marriage for her, right?

However, although the cousin is truly devoted to the prince, as the future princess, she still needs to be able to stand up for herself. She cannot just ask the prince not to accept his concubine as a favor, otherwise she will be inferior.

Ordinary wealthy families, such as the in-laws that Xiao Chuntao may want to find in the future, can seek love as a couple by marrying at a low age or something so that the husband does not take concubines, but that has to be done by giving birth to a legitimate son or even a legitimate daughter. Only then did I have the confidence to make the request.

And if it is a high marriage, then it is not up to the girl herself. On the one hand, there are children. More children are more blessings. Anyway, the children born directly after Emperor Wu have legal support, so there will be no big problems.

What's more important is that even if the concubine's concubine has no influence on the main wife's legitimate children, Aunt Shen actually doesn't take it seriously that the cousin was clamoring all day long for the prince to sign a pledge not to accept the concubine.

How should I put it? My cousin is going to be the royal concubine in the future, the dignified Princess Jing. What she has to consider in the future is to help the prince in charge of the inner court and even support external affairs. The former princess is the legitimate daughter of the Xie family in the Protectorate. Her courage is much higher than that of ordinary noble ladies, so she doesn't pay much attention to the inner courtyard of the palace. The old prince also goes home to discuss anything with the princess if he has anything to do outside.

Aunt Shen felt that this was the character that the future royal concubine should have. A few years ago, when the old prince was still alive, she even thought that when the prince's concubine came in one day, she could follow her. As before, he helped control the inner courtyard.

Who would have thought that he was still in charge of the inner court all these years, but the old prince had to agree to such a marriage given by the Queen Mother. From time to time, this cousin of the Zhou family would come to the palace as a guest under the pretext of being related to each other. , it was okay at first, after all, the old prince was gone soon, but the young prince became a little more serious after he paid filial piety. After the two families agreed to postpone the marriage until next year, they even made a fuss about asking the prince to promise not to accept the concubine.

Of course, not many people knew about this matter. Even if the cousin made trouble, she only wanted to make trouble with the prince and did not dare to make it too public. However, as the person in charge of the inner courtyard, Aunt Shen still knew about it. Therefore, she The cousin is not very optimistic about it.

Unexpectedly, in a twist of events, Miss Cousin's escape from death also made Grandma Shen secretly lament that she had been wrong in the past.

So when she learned that Shen Fu said that she would come over to see Zhou Heng after dinner, Grandma Shen didn't think there was anything wrong. Anyway, they were already engaged to avoid suspicion, and not many people knew about it now. Bian also agrees, so don’t worry too much about it.

Besides, Aunt Shen thinks she is not an old antique, and she still has some unanswered questions. The prince is a person who does big things. After this experience, my cousin, if she can keep up with his thoughts, she can find out the truth behind the scenes. Fierce, isn’t it just the best of both worlds?

So after Shen Fu entered the inner study, when Grandma Shen and Xiao Chuntao were guarding the door, for some reason, a very good word came to mind -

The husband sings and the wife follows!
