Chapter 133: Take her back as your wife
As he spoke, he winked at Beixiu Yan.
Bei Xiuyan frowned and glanced at him, "Just eat, why are you talking so much?"
Lu Huaining pouted and took two mouthfuls of rice.
The master ignored his hard work.
Seeing him being reprimanded, Shen Ruzhou couldn't bear it. She turned her face and looked at him with a smile and said, "Huaining is so enthusiastic about his guests."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and saw the stir-fried bamboo shoots placed in front of her.
Shen Ruzhou looked at Bei Xiuyan in a daze, and Bei Xiuyan withdrew his hand indifferently, as if nothing happened, and continued eating.
Lu Huaining beamed with joy as soon as he saw it, Master is really on the right track!
He immediately said to Shen Ruzhou: "Sister, Master specially gave you good things to see how good he is in caring for others! Don't let him down, eat more quickly."
Bei Xiuyan's hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and he cast an incomprehensible look at Lu Huaining.
Why did something change his mood as soon as he said it?It sounds weird.
Shen Ruzhou didn't take it seriously at all, smiled and thanked him, and then ate nearly half of the plate of bamboo shoots with dignity.
Finally, she got a little tired of eating, so she picked up a braised prawn and put it in the bowl, but she was in trouble again.
After all, this is not a meal at home. It doesn’t look good to have your hands covered with oil when you peel the shrimp.
Bei Xiuyan noticed her hesitation and called the maid directly, "Peel this plate of shrimps and bring it up."
Lu Huaining pursed his lips and snickered, winked at Shen Ruzhou and said, "How are you doing, sister? My master is very careful, right?"
Shen Ruzhou felt a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the regent to be so considerate to his guests."
Beixiu Yan didn't say anything. Lu Huaining actively took over the conversation and said, "That's because my sister is not an ordinary guest."
Shen Ruzhou didn't know the deep meaning of his words and thought they were just polite words, so he laughed them off.
After the shrimps were peeled, she ate a lot more. She was really hungry, and the chef at the Prince Regent's palace cooked so delicious food that she couldn't stop eating.
Lu Huaining didn't stop talking and kept talking. Beixiu Yan beside him was quiet.
However, Shen Ruzhou discovered that Beixiu Banquet seemed to be a bit picky about food. He didn't even move a chopstick on the sweet and sour fish dish in front of him, including the shrimp she ate. It was obvious that he had a very picky taste.
After dinner, it's getting dark.
Shen Ruzhou did not stay long and said goodbye: "Thank you, Prince Regent, for your hospitality today."
Bei Xiuyan nodded lightly.
Lu Huaining smiled and said, "You're welcome. Sister will come to our house for meals more often in the future."
Shen Ruzhou said yes, but in her heart she wanted to eat this way a few more times, and her waist would get thicker.
The sun was setting in the west, and Shen Ruzhou was escorted home by people from the Regent's Palace.
After Shen Ruzhou left, Lu Huaining stayed by Bei Xiuyan's side and said with a smile on his face: "Master, you rarely praise others, but today you praised your sister in person. Don't you admire your sister very much?"
Bei Xiuyan was holding a pair of scissors to shorten the heart of the candle, and the flickering candlelight reflected on that handsome face.
"Princess Wucheng is indeed good, capable and courageous, worthy of being the general's legitimate daughter."
"Yes, it's so rare to have a beautiful and outstanding person like my sister!" Lu Huaining was very excited, his eyes sparkling under the dim light, "Master, when you meet your sister, you must cherish it!"
Bei Xiuyan looked slightly stunned, put down the scissors in his hand, and cast his dark eyes on Lu Huaining.
Lu Huaining grinned and continued to talk wildly: "Master, don't wait any longer, snatch my sister away from King Wu Cheng!"
Bei Xiuyan's cold face showed a rare look of confusion, "What did you say?"
Lu Huaining looked like he understood everything and laughed twice.
"Master, please stop hiding me. You have kept your sister for dinner today. You must like her and want to marry her back and be my master's wife, right?"
Bei Xiuyan narrowed his eyes, took a deep breath, reached out and poked Lu Huaining hard on the forehead.
"Shut up, you are so young, what are you thinking about all day long?"
Lu Huaining rubbed his forehead and muttered unconvinced: "Huaining is young, but he knows everything he should know!"
"That's enough." Bei Xiuyan glanced at him coldly and said ruthlessly: "Since you have nothing to do, go and copy Sun Tzu's Art of War five times, so that you won't have to think about it all day long."
Lu Huaining opened his eyes wide and said pitifully: "Master, no..."
Bei Xiuyan glanced at him and said, "Why don't you go quickly?"
Lu Huaining pinched his mouth. If he had known better, he would not have said anything, which made Master even shy.
Helpless, he had no choice but to copy books in a depressed mood.
Beixiu's banquet was finally quiet. He stood in front of the window and stared at the night quietly.
Perhaps Lu Huaining's words just now had such an impact that they reminded him of Shen Ruzhou standing under the pear tree in front of the palace when he first came to the palace.
He was in a daze, and for some reason he kept thinking about the past recently.
Looking at the night in the sky, he gently turned the jade ring in his hand, his eyes reflecting the night, extremely dark and deep.
Why hasn't the person he wanted to find come to him...
When Shen Ruzhou returned home, it was already dark.
As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw two figures at the door looking around. When they saw her coming back, they immediately trotted towards them.
"Miss, you are finally back!" Miao Dong smiled with tears in her eyes, and Chun Xiu also looked relieved.
What Xiao Chenyan did today must have frightened them. Shen Ruzhou touched Miaodong's face and asked as he walked in, "Are you all okay?"
"The slaves are all very good." Chunxiu held a lantern for her and walked to the eaves. "The lady who came during the day was also well taken care of by Xiaotao Xiaowei. She should have rested now."
Shen Ruzhou nodded and entered the room.
Miaodong poured her a cup of tea and asked, "Miss, does Mrs. Luo want to live with us?"
"She has just given birth and is weak. I have to take care of her and make sure she recovers." Shen Ruzhou took a sip of tea and asked, "Did the Prince Regent come to pick up things today?"
"Well, guard Qin Ming came and took away the medicine you prepared, leaving behind 10 taels of gold."
Miaodong's eyes widened, obviously surprised by the amount, "I have already put all the gold into the warehouse."
"10 taels of gold?"
Shen Ruzhou was surprised. He knew Beixiu Banquet would not treat her badly, but he didn't expect it to be too generous!
As a result, she was only 40 taels of gold short of the amount Xiao Chenyan said.
However, giving Xiao Chenyan so much money is too cheap for him. It is better to use the emperor's promise to deal with Heli's matter as soon as possible.
She smiled happily and stood up immediately, "Okay, it's getting late. I'm going to bed first. You guys should rest early."
With that said, she yawned and walked into the inner room.
Miaodong stopped her, "Miss, you haven't told me how you are doing today."
Shen Ruzhou turned around and met the worried eyes of Miaodong and Chunxiu.
"Yes, miss, you were suddenly taken away by the prince today, and we were all frightened to death..."
