Chapter 325 Meeting in a narrow road
She lowered her head in embarrassment and paddled the board with her toes, hoping to carve a crack and escape into the water, never to be seen again.
Her voice was as thin as a mosquito's fly, "Why do I always make a fool of myself in front of you."
Hearing this, the arc of Bei Xiuyan's face softened, and Shen Ruzhou hurriedly defended, "I'm not usually like this, really."
She swallowed and wanted to prove herself, but the black history was in Beixiu Yan's hands, and it was useless to argue.
In her haste, she changed the subject and said, "By the way, it's so late, why is the regent here?"
Bei Xiuyan raised his eyes and looked at the pool of blooming lotus. His dark eyes shone like stars in the night sky, "This lotus was planted by the late Queen. I often came here when I was young."
Shen Ruzhou suddenly realized that she had mistakenly entered Beixiuyan's territory.
This place was extremely secretive and should be the place where Bei Xiuyan had secret conversations with others. Thinking that she might have inadvertently interrupted the other party's plan, she hurriedly stood up and wanted to leave.
Unexpectedly, she stepped on her dress, lost her balance, and almost fell down. Fortunately, Bei Xiuyan had quick eyesight and quick hands to help her, but the movement of the two of them was too big, causing the boat to sway, and woke up the sleeping egret in the pond.
Dozens of egrets spread their wings and flew up, and their wings swept over Shen Ruzhou. She was so frightened that she quickly hid in Bei Xiuyan's arms. Bei Xiuyan hugged her. Their chests were touching, and each other's heartbeats resonated through their clothes. .
Shen Ruzhou reached out randomly to touch something and got up. Unexpectedly, he grabbed Bei Xiuyan's hand. For a moment, his fingers were intertwined and he held it, and then he used the other's strength to stand firm.
She quickly took back her hand and apologized with a blushing face, "I'm sorry, Prince Regent, I was rude."
Bei Xiuyan's voice was indifferent, "It doesn't matter."
He looked at the empty palm. The hand was as delicate and smooth as if it were boneless, and the warmth from just holding his hand was still there.
By the pool, Qin Ming had already noticed the movement in the boat. He was originally worried that his master and Princess Wucheng would get too close to each other, which would cause bad effects. Now that he saw the startled egret, he shouted that something was wrong.
Prince Regent and Princess Wu Cheng, should they, should they...
No, the loss must be stopped in time!
He was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he ignored the punishment and shouted to the boat: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
Bei Xiuyan frowned slightly, but Shen Ruzhou breathed a sigh of relief. For some reason, when she was with Bei Xiuyan, she always felt that her heartbeat was abnormal and her brain was not normal, so it was better to go back.
"Prince Regent, let's go back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bei Xiuyan's ice-covered eyes immediately glanced over. Shen Ruzhou immediately lowered his head and said no more.
However, she did find that the boat was heading towards the shore.
After getting off the boat, Shen Ruzhou didn't want to delay his business, so he wisely proposed to leave again.
But Beixiu Yan grabbed her and told Qin Ming, "I will send Shen Ruzhou back first. We will discuss the matter later."
In the General's Mansion, Xiao Chenyan and Shen Mu were sitting and drinking tea.
Xiao Chenyan's face is like a crown jade, and his body is like a bright moon. Just sitting casually, his temperament is revealed, and his elegance is unparalleled.
While Shen Mu was playing with the tea leaves with the tea lid, he looked at Xiao Chenyan calmly. His starry eyes flashed slightly and his figure was calm, as if he was really just here to taste tea.
Shen Chumu was with him and was making various speculations. After the palace banquet was over, the great god followed them to the general's mansion. After knowing that his sister was called by Concubine De, his face showed no emotion and he just said to wait with them.
Xiao Chenyan took a sip of tea and then spoke. His words were very friendly and kind, "Father-in-law, Jianing was young and was spoiled by the eldest princess. He did stupid things and almost wronged Ruzhou. My son-in-law said She apologized to you."
After saying that, he bowed his hands and his eyes were full of apology.
Shen Mu stood up and returned the salute, with a stern look like a court official, "King Wucheng said seriously, since the matter has passed, it's okay not to mention it."
Shen Chumu was very disapproving. Jianing wanted to frame their brothers and sisters so viciously, but in the eyes of Xiao Chenyan, he just wanted to expose him because he was young and ignorant. How could such a good thing happen?
No wonder my sister wants to make peace with her. This man is really not worth entrusting her to.
The corner of his lips curled up slightly, "I remember that Ruzhou used to be naughty and perverse. When he was a child, he got into a fight with a lady from Qin Shangshu's family over a kite."
"Miss Qin is very sharp-tongued. She is the first to complain in front of adults. She insists that her sister stole her kite and then beats her up."
"I didn't want my sister to point to the skeleton on the kite and said that it was hers, with her name engraved on it. Only then did everyone realize that they had wronged her. Miss Qin was even punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, and the matter was settled."
"Later I found out that the kite had just been bought by Ru Zhou. It had no name. Miss Qin wanted to keep it as her own. When she couldn't fight her to complain, my sister quickly found a stone and carved it on it. own name.”
On the surface, Shen Chumu was saying that his sister was naughty, but in fact, he was praising her for being clever. Some people are just bad, no matter how young they are, they are just deceiving.
Xiao Chenyan's eyes were complicated. Shen Ruzhou was naughty and cute when he was a child, but since they got married, he has always been against him, and in some aspects he is not as good as Jianing.
The moon was at its peak, and I had drank three cups of tea.Finally, a servant came to report, "The lady is back."
Xiao Chenyan stood up, dusted his sleeves, and went to greet Shen Ruzhou.The courtesy he gave her as a princess showed the Shen family that he valued and respected Shen Ruzhou.
Presumably, Shen Ruzhou will calm down after seeing her and become his princess honestly.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chenyan's steps became a little faster.
At the gate, Shen Ruzhou bowed farewell to Beixiu Banquet in a polite manner, "Thank you, the regent, for sending me back."
After she finished speaking, she looked up and saw Bei Xiuyan looking at the gate of the General's Mansion with no intention of leaving.
Shen Ruzhou thought for a while and said politely, "If the regent is not in a hurry to go back, why not come into the palace to have a cup of tea and take a rest?"
"Miss Shen is kind but disrespectful."
Beixiu Yan glanced at her and responded calmly. Before Shen Ruzhou could recover, he climbed up the stairs and entered the general's mansion.
Shen Ruzhou suddenly felt dizzy and hurriedly followed.She came back with him so late, this was seen by others, maybe there was a misunderstanding?
Before she could finish her thoughts, she saw Xiao Chenyan and the Shen family's father and son coming out of the main hall and bumped into them.
Although the night was already dark, Shen Ruzhou could still clearly see the smile on Xiao Chenyan's face fade away instantly, and a cold light flashed through his bottomless eyes.
Xiao Chenyan's hands tightened unconsciously, and the veins on his forehead protruded. Shen Ruzhou actually came back with Beixiu Yan, and the two of them entered the house without any scruples. Did she not care about his face at all? !
