"This..." Shen Tianshu wanted to say that this seemed inappropriate.
But as soon as she uttered a word, she was interrupted by Li Zian: "Miss Shen, I still don't know what's wrong with my father's body. I'm really worried and have to take this step. I hope Miss Shen can understand.
"Over at the Shen Mansion, I will ask my mother-in-law to send someone to tell me. You don't have to worry."
Hearing what he said, Shen Tianshu couldn't refuse anymore. After all, Prince Rui's health was very important. If she hadn't been afraid of not being able to explain to her family, she wouldn't have been so hesitant.
So that night, the Shen Mansion did not wait for Shen Tianshu to come back. What was waiting was the steward sent by the princess.
The nanny in charge is in her early forties. When she is not smiling, she looks very capable and neat, and looks like she is not easy to get close to.
But when she smiles, it makes people feel that she is kind from the bottom of her heart.
This was the first time for Mrs. Shen to come into contact with someone close to the princess, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She really deserves to be from the palace, and her behavior is extraordinary.
"My slave An Jin, I have met Mrs. Shen."
"Mother An, please get up quickly." How could Old Mrs. Shen let the confidants around Princess Rui give her a full salute? The other party hurriedly called her before she finished speaking. After asking her to sit down, she asked for tea.
She still didn't know why An Jin came here, but seeing the smile on his face, it probably wasn't a bad thing.
"The princess asked this slave to come over because she wanted to apologize to Mrs. Shen." That's what An Jin said, which made Mrs. Shen's scalp feel numb.
Is this true or ironic?
"Where did you start talking about this? Did that kid Tianshu make any mistakes in the palace..."
"Old Madam, you are worrying too much. Miss Shen is dignified and polite, and behaves generously. She is loved by the concubine and the princess." An Jin said with a smile, "You also know that our princess likes Miss Shen very much. A few days ago, The princess was frightened and always said she wanted to see Miss Shen.
"When we first found out that Miss Shen was sick, the princess ordered us not to disturb her. However, the princess had not been able to eat or sleep well these past few days. Her little face had lost weight, and the princess felt as if she was distressed. Only then did he agree to let her invite Miss Shen to the palace as a guest.
"After Miss Shen left today, the princess kept pestering her. As soon as Miss Shen said goodbye, the princess immediately started to shed tears.
"Princess, I really have no choice but to ask my slave to make amends to Mrs. Shen. I hope you can agree to let Miss Shen stay in the palace for two days."
"The princess is so kind. I heard Tian Shu say before that the princess felt very distressed when she was frightened by the assassins. For such a young child, those gangsters are really cruel.
"It's rare for Tianshu to win the favor of the princess. This is her blessing. As long as she doesn't cause trouble to the palace and can help, we naturally have nothing to disagree with."
An Jin was very happy when he heard this. He stood up with a smile and saluted, "Thank you, Mrs. Shen, for your understanding."
After An Jin left, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but squint her eyes. After a while, she asked Chunlan beside her: "Tell me, the princess has not met Shu'er a few times, so why do you insist on sticking to her?"
Chunlan guessed what Mrs. Shen meant and said: "Maybe this is the legendary fate. Isn't there a saying that the head is as white as new and the top is as old as before."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shen turned her head and glanced at her, and said angrily: "Now that I am getting more relaxed, I can even say such things."
Chunlan hurriedly apologized and said with a smile: "How can I know these things, slave? Didn't I just hear them from reading books before?"
Mrs. Shen herself couldn't find a more reasonable explanation. She nodded and said, "Children's preferences often come out of nowhere. I don't know where Tianshu fell in love with the princess."
"The eldest girl is calm and patient. Even the third girl is willing to stick to her. Isn't it easier to coax the children?" Chunlan racked her brains to help Shen Tianshu speak, "I think this is good, after all, the master is now As an official in Wuchang Mansion, with the care of the Prince's Mansion, others would not dare to bully me casually.
"And in this way, speaking to the outside world, it's just that the princess has a good personal relationship with our eldest daughter, and it's not the master who wants to make friends with the clan. Others can't find fault with the master."
"You are really making progress now. You can learn skills quickly by following your mother." These words really touched the heart of Mrs. Shen.
It is a certainty that Shen Zhonglei will become the magistrate of Wuchang Prefecture, and no one can change it.
Being an official in such a place is actually a very mysterious situation.
His identity is still a court official and he is not allowed to have close contacts with his clan relatives.
However, the entire Huguang is a fiefdom of Prince Rui's Palace, and all kinds of daily official affairs and lawsuits will inevitably intersect and conflict with the political affairs of the Prince's Palace.
How to grasp the scale and handle the relationship well is a very complicated knowledge.
If one of them is not handled well, just like the previous prefect, he will be completely ignored by Prince Rui's palace. He will serve for several years without any political achievements. In the end, in order to make room for Shen Zhonglei, he will have to retire and return home early. His official career can be regarded as a failure. It's come to an end.
Today's relationship is indeed neither far nor close, just right.
And judging from the current situation, the Crown Prince Rui still respects and takes care of Shen Zhonglei.
But as the saying goes, a child's face can change at any time.
The princess now likes to pester Shen Tianshu. Who can guarantee that she will suddenly fall out in the future? How will Shen Zhonglei handle himself then? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?
We still have to quickly find a reliable in-law for Shen Tianshu and find a solid backer for the Shen family.
Shen Tianshu was playing with Li Zihan in Prince Rui's palace when he suddenly felt his nose itching. He quickly turned around, took out his handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose, sneezed twice in a row, and then said hurriedly: "My lord, I'm rude."
However, Li Zihan leaned over and suddenly pressed his forehead against Shen Tianshu's.
The child's body smelled like milk, and his slightly warm forehead pressed against it, making Shen Tianshu hold his breath, as if he was afraid of scaring people.
However, her hands had been raised subconsciously, and they were wrapped around Li Zihan's waist, for fear that she would lose her balance and fall.
The maids and ladies in the room were also shocked by Li Zihan's move. Although no one made any big movements, their eyes had gathered in an instant, staring closely at Li Zihan and Shen Tianshu's every move.
Li Zihan just followed the example. After putting his forehead against it, he didn't know what to do next. He opened a pair of dark eyes and stared at Shen Tianshu's face. His eyes were full of doubts, and because the distance was too close, Almost cross-eyed.
Shen Tianshu laughed out loud instantly, put his arms around her waist, and protected her steady before saying: "Don't worry, Princess, my daughter does not have a fever."
Li Zihan reached out and patted her shoulder, imitating Li Zian's usual words and pretending to say: "That's good, you should pay attention to the cold and heat, and ask someone to add some clothes for you in time. Getting cold is no joke. .”
As soon as Li Zian entered the door, he heard his sister's milky voice imitating his own words, accompanied by Shen Tianshu's uncontrollable chuckle, and he couldn't help but pause in his steps.
