Early in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Shen family, led by Mrs. Shen, paid homage to their ancestors, and then Shen Tianshu and Shen Yunhui paid homage to the Xu family.
The whole family was about to start eating when the woman at the second door suddenly ran in quickly and said: "Old lady, Master, Rui, Prince Rui's Mansion..."
Mrs. Shen raised her eyes to look at the mother-in-law and said displeasedly: "What's wrong? Did the royal family give you the annual gift? Look at your worthless look!"
"No, it's not... Yes, it was Prince Wang who brought Princess Danyang to the door and said that Princess Danyang insisted on looking for the eldest girl..."
The mother-in-law looked frightened, but she was anxious to speak, and she became more and more stammering. Fortunately, she finally explained the matter clearly.
When Shen Zhonglei heard this, he stood up suddenly and without caring about anything else, he hurriedly arranged his clothes and hurried out to greet him.
Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Tianshu suspiciously and found that she also had a look of shock, and it didn't look like she was faking it.
She felt quite unhappy, and the more she wanted to keep distance from Prince Rui's Mansion, but it seemed like she couldn't avoid it no matter what.
She forgot, however, that now that Shen Zhonglei was an official in Wuchang Mansion, their interactions would only increase in the future. How could he keep a distance from Prince Rui's Mansion?
But no matter what, one of the people coming is the prince and the other is the princess. Their identities are here.
No matter how unhappy Mrs. Shen was, she still had to get up and take her two granddaughters to the second door to greet her.
As soon as Shen Tianshu showed up, Li Zihan immediately pestered her: "Sister Shen, why didn't you visit me when you arrived at Wuchang Mansion? I look like you!"
Li Zian's attitude was very low today, and his tone was full of apology: "Zihan also likes Miss Shen for some reason. I heard that Master Shen was going to work in Wuchang Mansion, and I was very happy.
"But everyone was busy during the twelfth lunar month, and she didn't have the chance to meet Miss Shen. She kept looking forward to the first day of the new year, thinking that the Shen family would definitely come to the palace to pay New Year's greetings. Who knew that due to some special circumstances, the Shen family would not be able to come to the palace this year? .
"This little girl broke down when she heard the news this morning. She cried at home for a long time. I had no choice but to agree to bring her over. Please ask Miss Shen to help comfort this little ancestor."
Only then did Shen Tianshu notice that Li Zihan's big eyes were still slightly red and swollen, and he looked up at her, endearingly.
"Even if you meet me today, I will live in Wuchang Prefecture from now on. It is much easier to meet me than before. Why are you still crying? What can you do if your big beautiful eyes are swollen from crying?"
Li Zihan changed his usual sensible demeanor today. He took Shen Tianshu's hand and said coquettishly: "Sister Shen, I finally got my eldest brother to agree to bring me here. Don't push me away!"
Li Zi'an also said: "Old Mrs. Shen, Master Shen, Miss Shen, and Zihan are usually quite well-behaved and don't cause trouble.
"The main reason is that the palace is too busy today and none of us can take care of her. She is crying so pitifully. Please keep her temporarily for a day. I will come and pick her up as soon as possible after I finish my work."
Li Zi'an has already said this, and Li Zihan still keeps holding on to Shen Tianshu and refuses to let go. No matter from any aspect, he cannot refuse.
Old Mrs. Shen said with a smile: "It's rare for Princess Danyang to fall in love with Tianshu. This is also our family's blessing. As long as the princess doesn't feel that Humble House is neglecting her, we will naturally have no problem."
"Then please." After Li Zian thanked him repeatedly, he said that there were still many things to do in the palace, leaving Li Zihan and a dozen attendants behind and left in a hurry.
Li Zihan immediately pestered Shen Tianshu to go and see her room.
She was too young, and Old Mrs. Shen and Shen Zhonglei could not entertain her, so they could only tell Shen Tianshu to take good care of the princess.
A person who looked like a female official came forward and said: "Master Shen, Old Mrs. Shen, Miss Shen will be taken care of by us, don't worry."
The implication is that Li Zihan doesn't need anyone to take care of her, and Shen Tianshu only needs to be by his side to make her happy.
Old Mrs. Shen originally didn't want to have anything to do with Prince Rui's Mansion. Seeing that she didn't have to worry about it, she didn't say much, exchanged a few words and went back.
As a minister, Shen Zhonglei couldn't entertain such a young princess. If he followed him, he might cause trouble, so he could only tell him to send him to the gate of Shuangtang Courtyard and bowed to say goodbye. .
Shen Yunhui was a little curious and wanted to follow, but the female officer beside the princess stopped her with her hand, so she wisely said goodbye and went back to her room.
Seeing this, Shen Tianshu became more and more certain. Li Zi'an suddenly went to such great lengths to send Li Zihan here. It must have been as simple as what he said on the surface.
Sure enough, as soon as the two people entered the house, Li Zihan ordered people to go out and guard the doors everywhere, and then said anxiously: "Sister Shen, my father suddenly had a reaction last night, and mother is anxious to ask you to come over and have a look, so we have to Come up with this plan."
Although Li Zihan is young, he speaks very clearly and logically.
Her personal maid has quickly taken out the clothes from the things she brought, bowed and said: "Miss Shen, please change your clothes. We will find a way to take you out to the palace."
Shen Tianshu knew that if she wanted to use such a trick on the first day of the new year, she would have to take her out, which meant that Prince Rui's condition must have improved a lot, so she didn't hesitate and put on a few more clothes. Then put on the palace maid's clothes and let the other party paint on her face.
The skill of the palace maid next to Li Zihan is not bad. Although it is not as magical as the disguise technique, after changing her skin color to wheat color, and changing the shape of her eyebrows and eyes, she really looks like a different person at first glance.
When Shen Tianshu looked in the mirror, he felt that the person in the mirror was very strange. He probably wouldn't be able to spot anyone else unless he got up close and took a closer look.
"Then you stay here by yourself? Aren't you scared?" Shen Tianshu was a little worried about Li Zihan before leaving.
"Sister Shen, don't worry. I also hope that daddy can wake up as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll go then, be good." Shen Tianshu reached out and rubbed Li Zihan's hair.
Li Zihan cleared his throat and raised his voice: "You useless people actually forgot all the gifts I brought to Sister Shen. I think you want to be beaten!"
Shen Tianshu helped her act and said: "Princess, please calm down and don't punish those who celebrate the New Year."
"Since Sister Shen is interceding for you, I won't punish you for now. You two, hurry back to the house and get the gifts!" After speaking, Li Zihan winked at Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu lowered his head and followed another palace maid out of the room.
Maybe it was because Li Zihan lost his temper, so the two of them left smoothly and no one paid much attention to them.
After leaving Shen's mansion, another palace maid immediately took Shen Tianshu into an alley across the street.
Li Zian stood by the carriage and had been waiting for a long time.
