Chapter Seven Auspicious Days

Back on the carriage, Shen Xian immediately turned cold and rolled her eyes. Shen Yao looked at her carefully and timidly said: "Second sister...I'm sorry, if I didn't look at that, Second Sister wouldn't be with her." They had an argument."

"What are you talking about? They are bullying you, don't you see it?"

Shen Yao lowered her head and looked at her toes: "I know, but my mother said that Kyoto is different from other places. If you can bear it, bear with it. Don't lose the face of the Duke's Palace."

Shen Xian secretly wondered how Aunt Wei had been teaching people for so many years.

He couldn't help but raise his voice: "No need, you are the third young lady of the Duke's Mansion. Even if you are a concubine, you are still a member of the Duke's Mansion. If you are strong, the Duke's Mansion will be strong. If you are weak, the Duke's Mansion will be weak. Please bear with me." This kind of tone will be spit on the door of the house in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xian felt that she was too excited again.

Sighing: "You don't need to bear it like today, they are here for me."

Shen Yao hummed softly, as if she was crying.

Shen Xian couldn't stand someone whispering in her ear, but she knew she was such a temperament that she couldn't force anything, so she had to open the curtain to get some air.

The carriage turned a corner, revealing a group of people. They were crowded at the door of a shop, lowering their heads and whispering about something. Looking carefully, she saw the person at the end of the crowd wearing official robes.

"Xiang Nong, what happened?"

Xiang Nong glanced over there in a hurry, then asked a passerby to ask, and then came back to reply: "Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Xuan is handling the case there."

"parking!"

The carriage stopped immediately.

Shen Yao was stunned: "Second sister?"

"Wait for me in the car and I'll be back in a while."

Xiang Nong was puzzled when she saw that her young lady actually got off the carriage and walked towards the crowded place with a happy face. Fearing that something might happen, she immediately followed her with the guards of the palace.

The guards helped her clear the way, and she easily stood at the front of the crowd.

Only then did he realize that Shi Ling's gold guards had surrounded the entire blacksmith shop, and through the gaps one could vaguely see people kneeling inside.

"Is this the first blacksmith shop we've caught this month?"

"Is it the third one? It's some kind of privately made weapon."

Shen Xian raised her eyebrows.

There are actually people stationed in Kyoto city as private soldiers.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Shi Ling's deep and calm voice coming from inside: "Take it back and keep it under strict supervision."

With a neat response, the gold guard made way for Shi Ling to come out. As the man walked, he wiped the red blood on his hands with a pure white embroidered handkerchief.

When the people saw this, they were so frightened that they fled in all directions. The streets that were lively just now suddenly became deserted. Only Shen Xian and her maidservant were left.

Shi Ling glanced at her, his face paused slightly, and then he looked away as if he didn't recognize her.

"His Royal Highness King Xuan!"

Okay, we can't pretend we can't see it anymore.

Shi Ling threw away the handkerchief and put his hands behind his back, looking at her condescendingly, as if asking her what she wanted to do.

Shen Xian ran up to him briskly with her skirt in hand and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, Your Majesty, we meet again."

A trace of confusion flashed in Shi Ling's eyes.

"Why is Miss Shen Er here?"

Shen Xian opened her eyes wide: "I don't know, maybe you and I are destined. God wants us to meet."

Shi Ling: "..."

He didn't say anything, but he didn't give Shen Xian any extra looks. He turned to leave, but Shen Xian caught up with him again: "There are some. I heard from brother that His Highness has a mountain painting. I've been looking for it for a long time and really want to see it. Very, I wonder if Your Highness can lend me some of your love."

Shi Ling: "I don't want to borrow it."

Shen Xian suddenly pouted her little mouth, her thick and curled eyelashes were stained with some water drops, and her eyes were hazy.

Xiangnong:???

"The person who drew this picture was Mr. Lian Fang. He taught me for some time, but now that he has passed away many years ago, I don't even have a single piece of his handiwork. When I dream about it at midnight, I always feel that Mr. Lian Fang must be in the underworld. I think I am unfilial."

Shi Ling stopped and said nothing.

Shen Xian continued, with one tear already falling: "That's all, I was just wishful thinking. I thought I could see my husband's last works again, but I didn't expect that it would become...a regret in my life!"

When she cried, the pear blossoms were like rain, and she wiped her chin with the embroidered handkerchief in her hand at the right time. She slightly raised her eyes with affection and sympathy, which aroused pity.

Shi Ling's expression became strange and he frowned: "Is it okay for me to borrow it?"

Shen Xian blinked her eyes and couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth, but she had to twist and say: "If Your Highness is in trouble, I can't understand it. If you really can't borrow it, I will..."

"Shen Xian, if you say one more word, there's really no way you can do it."

Shen Xian immediately wiped her tears and looked at him with a smile.

"It will be sent to the Duke's Mansion tomorrow."

"No, no, no, how can I bother you, Your Majesty, to make a trip? I have to come to the door in person to show my sincerity in respecting my teacher!"

She thought she was stupid, the person sent here was definitely not Shi Ling, and she would definitely meet him by going to the door in person, creating another chance to meet.

Shi Ling was silent for a while, as if thinking about what she wanted to do.

Shen Xian was afraid that he would regret it and said quickly: "Then it's settled. I'll find an auspicious day and I'll visit you personally."

After saying what he owed, he turned around and pulled Xiang Nong away quickly, for fear of hearing Shi Ling's regretful voice.

Auspicious day?

Shi Ling sneered, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, his foot fell lightly. He moved his foot and found that he had almost crushed a red coral earring.

It's hers.

She was chattering non-stop just now, and the red earrings on both sides of her cheeks were really eye-catching.

Shi Ling was stunned for a while before bending down to pick it up. When Ah Feng came, he immediately got into the palm of his hand, and his face returned to a stern look.

Shen Xian, who returned home happily all the way, never realized that she had lost one of her earrings. It was not until Xiang Nong reminded her that she touched her ear in surprise.

"Ouch! That's bad!"

"Miss, don't panic, I will go back and look for you right away."

Shen Xian frowned: "No wonder Shi Ling has always been so cold to me. It turns out that I was so inappropriate today!"

Xiang Nong thought for a long time before she figured out the relationship, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, don't you... like His Highness Prince Xuan?"

Shen Xian smiled sweetly: "No, I don't know whether I like your lady or not. I just know that only by marrying King Xuan can I vent my bad breath."

What the Third Prince and Xiao Hui did was undoubtedly a slap in the face in front of everyone in Kyoto. However, this slap could only be endured, but if she could not retaliate, she would no longer be Shen Xian.

Xiang Nong nodded in understanding, but her young lady was always right, so although it was outrageous that she wanted to marry Prince Xuan, in her eyes it was the right path.

-

The visit to Prince Xuan's Mansion came three days later, because Shen Xian sent someone to squat at the gate of Prince Xuan's Mansion for three days. He went out early in the first two days and only came in the evening. Today he is finally at home!

She dressed up delicately and charmingly this time, making sure that nothing went wrong before getting out of the carriage. Her smile froze after landing.

"Who is coming!"

small theater:

Shen Xian: "Master, do you think I am filial?"

Mr. Lian Fang: "Ah! I can't even give birth to a child."
