Chapter 120 Ex
Chapter 120 Ex
Crash.
Lu Hen panted and put the two piles of posts in his arms on the table. The posts were all scattered and covered the entire table.
"Miss, they are all here."
"Well. Go down first. You don't need to come in without instructions."
"Yes. Miss, Prince, I'll take my leave." Lu Hen bowed and ran out of the room.
Shen Shen was not in a hurry either, and said to Zhu Yanxiao: "My Lord, you'd better tell the guards to guard the door and keep outsiders out."
Zhu Yanxiao replied with a half-smile: "I was thinking that Miss Shen wanted to do something intimate with me, but she was afraid of being disturbed."
"Haha, that's weird."
Zhu Yanxiao ordered Xingyun and Liushui to close the door of the private room and kill anyone who entered without permission. After saying that, he looked at the invitation cards on the table and had a rough idea in his mind.
"God, tell me, why did you send these posts to this prince?"
"Yeah." Shen Shenshen cleared his throat and casually took out a post and unfolded it.
"The third legitimate daughter of the Grand Tutor's mansion." He put it down and changed it to: "The legitimate daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War." He put it down and took another one: "The legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue." He put it down again and took out another one: "The third legitimate daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites." He put it down and took out another one: "The second legitimate daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites."
This went on repeatedly. Zhu Yanxiao did not speak at first, but listened quietly, tapping his index finger on the table. Finally, when she read the words "the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Jing'an", he could not help but interrupt: "God, what do you want?"
"Ziyuan, I envy you so much. These women are all your admirers." She pointed at the posts on the table and said sarcastically, "Zhu Yanxiao, tell me the truth, are you very proud now?"
Zhu Yanxiao?
This seemed to be the second time Shen Shen Shen called her this. The first time he said he loved her, but the second time... It seemed that the Second Miss was very angry at this time.
Zhu Shizi of Prince Zhong's Mansion was born in the royal family and received the most elite education. Emotional stability has always been a compulsory course. When the woman beside him spoke in a sarcastic tone, he did not get angry. He held the woman tightly in his arms and whispered.
"Of course I am very proud."
"Let me go." Shen Shenshen became even angrier when he heard this and struggled to break free from the familiar embrace.
"Would you like to hear a story?"
"Never."
"Once upon a time, there was a woman who had known a man since childhood. However, the woman was not beautiful and had a dull mind, so the man despised her and tried to avoid her as much as possible. But one day in Heyin Building, the man saw the woman he despised standing in the middle of the hall after recovering from her illness, and he called her name by mistake. That day, he felt that she was a different person. The woman may not know that the comb in the east inlay was a token of love given by the man to the woman, so when the woman chose the comb, the man hesitated for a moment and agreed. As for why he agreed, the man did not know."
Shen Shenshen listened quietly, and her hands gradually wrapped around the waist of the man who was hugging her.
Zhu Yanxiao continued to speak in a cold but emotional voice: "The woman is a money-grubber and wants to cooperate with the man to make money, so the two of them keep meeting. She is very smart and different from all the women in Dongxiang. The man fell in love with her without knowing when. He then guessed the secret that the woman was a soul from another world. He didn't care and even thought that such a woman was worthy of him. Haha, is the man arrogant?"
"No, Ziyuan, you are excellent, better than any man I have ever met."
"The man thought of many ways and tried his best to please her. Finally, he saved her once and moved her to marry him as the Crown Prince's consort. When the woman said she was willing to be the Crown Prince's consort, the man felt so proud and happy because she finally belonged to him alone."
Zhu Yanxiao lowered his head and kissed the forehead of the person in his arms.
"That woman's name is Shen Shenshen."
"Ziyuan..." Shen Shen was deeply moved once again.
He was a royal son, a nobleman with a royal family, and he expressed his love in the form of storytelling. She knew she could not escape from him in this life. This man was always so good to her, so good, and loved and spoiled her so attentively.
After Zhu Yanxiao finished speaking, he reached out and gently stroked Shen Shenshen's fair and beautiful face, his movements were gentle and slightly cautious. Shen Shenshen closed her eyes and raised her head, welcoming the man's slightly cool lips that were kissed down.
Their lips and teeth were entangled, as if they were whispering their love for each other, as if they had missed each other for a long time, and only kissing could compensate for the time they were not together.
They kissed for a long time and separated because they were almost suffocated. Although Shen Shenshen would kiss Zhu Yanxiao whenever she was together, her cheeks were still flushed at this time, as tempting as a ripe peach.
She spoke in a muffled voice: "Ziyuan, so many women like you. Actually, I'm a little jealous, which makes me so angry." Shen Shenshen leaned in Zhu Yanxiao's arms, and naturally picked up the black ribbon tied behind the prince's bun with her hands and began to play with it.
Zhu Yanxiao hugged her gently. He really liked Shen Shenshen's little action of playing with her hairband. This was a unique intimacy between the two of them, so now he had to tie a hairband when he saw her, well, to satisfy her unique hobby for him.
Zhu Yanxiao's voice was filled with joy. "The fearless Second Miss Shen is jealous of an admirer? This prince is very proud now."
"Listen to what others say." Shen Shenshen said coquettishly: "There are too many women who like you. If His Majesty grants them marriages and makes them your concubines or concubines, I will be jealous and uncomfortable, but there is nothing I can do. Now... I don't want to get married anymore."
"Nonsense. The engagement cards have already been exchanged, how can you not marry?" Zhu Yanxiao tapped her head to express his dissatisfaction: "This prince promised you that I would not touch them."
Shen Shen was still rubbing the black headband tied behind Zhu Shizi's bun with both hands, completely ignoring the fact that the headband was wrinkled by her.
"Forget it. I've always said that I live in the present. Talking about concubines now is a bit too far-fetched. Let's talk about these women first." She let go of her hairband with one hand and pointed to the invitation card on the table.
"What was the original plan of the gods?"
She sat up straight and said seriously, "I asked my eldest sister, and she suggested that I go directly to the Zhou family of the Duke of Jing'an's mansion for a banquet, and said that she was busy with her wedding and only had time to go to a banquet. Then all the noble ladies invited by the Zhou family will go that day, and we can see what they are going to do."
Zhu Yanxiao was listening, tapping his index finger on the table. When he heard the name Zhou family, he paused: "Zhou family... is... the eldest daughter Zhou Yunxi invited you, right?"
"Yes." Shen Shenshen keenly caught his pause and asked curiously: "Is Ziyuan familiar with her?"
Zhu Yanxiao looked at her with a smile: "The second daughter is too young, and the concubine's daughter is not qualified to host a banquet, so only the eldest daughter has this possibility."
"Hmph. You even know how old the second daughter of the Zhou family is, yet you say you're not familiar with her?" Shen Shen turned his face away.
She found that Zhu Yanxiao did not answer her question directly.
The prince embraced the jealous Second Miss Shen and said, "You are jealous indeed. But I like it."
"Stop changing the subject and tell me, are you familiar with Zhou Yunxi?"
"Let me tell you about the Zhou family first. When Your Majesty Qianlong was the Crown Prince, the Zhou family was a loyal minister who swore to follow His Majesty until death. After Your Majesty succeeded to the throne, they were granted titles, which were also used to check and balance the old aristocratic families inherited from you. Therefore, in the court, they are the opposite of the Marquis' Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the Duke's Mansion. As for Zhou Yunxi... this eldest daughter has a slightly domineering personality. I'm afraid she will lose her temper when you go to the banquet."
Shen Shenshen found that Xiao Zhu seemed reluctant to let her go to Zhou's house. He spoke hesitantly and never gave a positive response to the question of his relationship with Zhou Yunxi.
There is definitely something wrong between Zhu Yanxiao and the Zhou family's eldest daughter.
Miss Shen, who caught the clues, is a modern-day woman who traveled through time and space. She cannot tolerate any injustice towards her current ex. She said bluntly, "Ziyuan, you and Zhou Yunxi were together before, right?"
"..." Zhu Yanxiao remained silent, secretly sighing in his heart that sometimes it was hard to deal with a woman who was too smart.
"I'll ask you one last time, have you ever been together before?" Shen Shenshen was on the verge of going crazy.
"Have."
"Have you talked about marriage?"
"God, God." Zhu Yanxiao's expression was complicated: "This prince and she have both gone there."
"You don't want to say it, right? OK. I won't embarrass you." She smiled and asked with curved eyebrows: "By the way, I would like to ask you for a place."
Zhu Yanxiao had a bad feeling: "Where?"
"Excuse me, my Lord, where is the Burning Shadow Hall? There is a lot of information there, so I will go there and ask."
