Before they even became a family, Du's heart had already turned aside.
Shen Moran responded: "I understand, mother."
Does she have to give in to the whole world because she is weak? She still vividly remembers what happened in Xie Yun's house last time. If that person hadn't been Zhou Zhan, her name would have been written backwards!
Too bad she has no evidence!
"Bitao, go and pack two sets of clothes and bring them with you."
Today she came to meet the frail and sick His Royal Highness King Zhan!
Bi Tao quickly packed up and followed her out with the wooden box in her arms. Shen Moran stepped across the threshold and planned to get into his carriage.
Yin Yue set up the riding stool and invited: "Miss Shen, please."
Shen Moran paused, stepped on the saddle and got on the carriage with a smile.
"Miss Bitao, please come here."
Bi Tao followed the direction pointed by Yinyue and saw an ordinary carriage. Looking back, she saw that her young lady had already gotten into the carriage, so she had no choice but to walk to the back resignedly.
The smell of the incense burning in the carriage was very special. Shen Moran's eyes were immediately attracted to the Dutch-green incense burner on the small table. Compared with the faint orchid fragrance that day, today's incense was rich and fragrant, very flamboyant.
"Golden Phoenix Incense is also known as Ruilin Incense. It is an incense to ward off evil spirits. In the past, Princess Tongchang of the Tang Dynasty brought jade sachets, which were filled with fragrance. This incense is hard to find, but Miss Shen still likes it?"
The more elaborate the explanation, the more it shows that the thief has a guilty conscience.
Shen Moran smiled and said: "I just feel that using such precious spices on a carriage seems a waste of resources. Many spices recorded in the "Famous Fragrance Book" have curative effects. Since Your Highness is weak, he should not smoke such strong smell. If spices conflict with diet or medicine, the gain will outweigh the loss."
"Lighter spices are more suitable for Your Highness."
"The orchids grow in front of the garden, waiting for the breeze. The catkins are gentle in the wind, and the pear blossoms are raining lightly. The fragrance of orchids or pear blossoms is more suitable for Your Highness."
With a smile in his eyes, Zhou Zhan took out a box of snacks from the small drawer and handed it to her.
"In the future, the lady will burn whatever spices she likes. I have no objection."
Shen Moran's outstretched hand stopped halfway, and Zhou Zhan placed the snack box in her palm. The heavy feeling brought her back to reality.
"Is Your Highness so confident about me?"
She saved him once in the back mountain of Jingshan Temple and harmed him once in the palace. He shouldn't have this attitude towards her.
Zhou Zhan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "What are you worried about? Isn't Miss Shen able to take care of the Si Mansion with ease? My house is clean and it is easier to take care of than the Si Mansion."
Shen Moran shook his head and stared into his eyes: "That's not what I meant."
Zhou Zhan's smile was somewhat endearing.
"My body is not up to par. At the palace banquet, I was pushed lightly by Miss Shen and fell into the lake, which no one expected. Miss Shen couldn't swim and yet she sacrificed her life to save me. This kindness can never be repaid. "
"Because of this, Miss Shen was granted a marriage by my father to a useless person like me. I feel very sorry..."
The young man's eyes were downcast and he looked pitiful and weak. Shen Moran knew that most of it was acting, but she still fell into his beauty trap without any future.
"Your Highness..."
Shen Moran felt her voice quivering with excitement. After she had a falling out with Zhou Yu in her previous life, she had been looking for a face, and the people below sent her many styles, but no one dared to send "sick" to her.
Suddenly I feel that being weak also has its benefits.
"Your Highness, there is no need to blame yourself."
Shen Moran swallowed and reached out to cover the back of his hand. Maybe it was because he had not seen the sun all year round. The skin on the back of his hand was smooth and delicate, and his complexion was cold white.
Shen Moran stammered, "I, because I have a crush on His Highness, I just made a spur-of-the-moment decision and arranged for His Highness to fall into the water."
"It's my fault, but I really have a deep love for His Highness and I can't help myself..."
"Since the last time I saw Jingshan Temple, I can't forget it for a long time."
The palm of her hand was very soft. Zhou Zhan squinted at her hand, raised his eyes and smiled: "What a coincidence, Miss Shen came to the rescue at Jingshan Temple, which is also unforgettable for me..."
Shen Moran used strength in her hands, and the tension on her face turned into a smile.
The blush was just right and she looked really innocent and ignorant. Zhou Zhan didn't believe a word she said. He coughed lightly, took back the hand she held and gently covered his lips.
Feeling a little ambiguous, I changed my hand to cover my mouth and nose.
The topic was changed, Shen Moran saw that his cheeks were rosy from coughing, and stood up to help him pour water.
But the carriage suddenly swayed, and she was holding a kettle in one hand and a water glass in the other. She was afraid that the hot water would spill on him, so she hesitated and leaned back and lost her balance.
Zhou Zhan could have put his hand on her waist, but his hand strength was too weak, and they fell into the car together.
His chin hit her forehead, and the smell of blood spread on the tip of his tongue. Shen Moran was not much better, her forehead was red, and her eyes were looking at him with watery eyes.
The water glass rolled out of the car and fell to the ground, breaking into pieces.
Zhou Zhan got up from Shen Moran, shook off his half-wet sleeves, opened the car curtain and asked, "What's going on?"
At the corner ahead, two carriages collided with each other. The coachman stopped his horse urgently, and Yin Yue had already got out of the car to check.
A pot of water almost spilled on Shen Moran, but the clothes she was wearing were dark in color and it was hard to tell.
After recalling the scent of spices she had just smelled from Zhou Zhan, she got up and sat down.
Yinyue turned back and reported: "Your Highness, the carriage in front broke down on the road. The two families have not agreed on compensation and are arguing on the road. Let's take a detour."
That's all.
Only when he turned around did he realize that Shen Moran's clothes were dripping with water. It was hot in summer, so the teapot wouldn't be filled with very hot water, but it would definitely be uncomfortable if it was poured all over.
No matter how unfortunate things happened to Shen Moran, she didn't take it to heart at all.
Looking at her nonchalant expression, Zhou Zhan felt that she was different from the noble ladies he had seen.
The first round of testing each other came to an end, and the carriage continued to walk for a quarter of an hour and stopped in front of the theater.
A steward from the theater had already come to greet him.
"Your Highness, today's song is "Lian Lian Ji". The theater has been cleared. Please come upstairs."
Bi Tao helped Shen Moran change her clothes, and when she was ready, the stage began to sing. "Serial Strategy" tells the story of Wang Yun's clever beauty trick, in which the singer Diao Chan betrothed to Lu Bu as his wife. , and later sent Dong Zhuo as a concubine to sow discord between Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo.
Shen Moran watched the play carefully. She didn't know whether today's play was a coincidence or intentional. Zhou Zhan watched half of it and went to the elegant room next door to stop. She and Bi Tao watched from beginning to end, but they just felt that the theater was a little deserted.
"Miss, please take a rest. Just now, Yinyue came to convey that His Highness would accompany you to the lake to put out lanterns and make wishes in the evening. It's still early now."
Shen Moran raised his eyebrows and asked: "Bitao, what do you think of His Highness King Zhan?"
Bitao thought about it seriously.
"Miss, I think Your Highness is very nice."
Shen Moran said oh, said nothing more, and lay on the couch with his eyes closed to rest.
In the private room next door, after Yin Yue reported the situation here, Zhou Zhan said: "This Miss Shen is used to acting. The little maid next to her seems to be careless. You can trick her later."
The hidden moon should be.
Hearing his instructions again, "Be careful when you say something, so that no one can find out the clues."
