Chapter 390 Misreading the Beixiu Banquet
Shen Ruyi felt as if her soul had been ripped out of her on Monday, and she walked out in a daze. Lu Huaining stepped forward to hold her, and explained anxiously, "Master must have other arrangements for doing this. Sister, don't get me wrong."
Shen Ruzhou pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty and smiled calmly, "I didn't misunderstand. The regent's intentions have nothing to do with me."
She glanced back at the study and slowly closed her eyes, her heart aching, and the next moment a crystal tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
Did she finally misjudge the Beixiu Banquet?
Lu Huaining wanted to explain more, but Shen Ruzhou shook his head hopelessly, indicating that he didn't need to say more, "Huaining, tell your master that the envoy is with me."
After saying this, Shen Ruzhou left.
After returning to the nunnery, it was already dark.Shen Ruzhou lay on the bed tossing and turning, sleepless all night.
The next day, she re-bandaged the wound of the envoy Mo Ru. Mo Ru was very grateful and said, "Miss Shen, thanks to your careful treatment these past two days, I have gotten better."
Shen Ruzhou replied politely: "The envoy has come from afar and is a guest. We should take care of him with courtesy."
Thinking of his mission, Mo Ru's eyes flashed with urgency, "I wonder if there is any news from the court? I'm here to get married, so I don't dare to delay any longer."
"The emperor has ordered the regent to investigate. The murderer will be caught soon. Envoy, please relax. By the way, I have sent him a message saying that you are here with me. He should bring someone with him soon. Came to pick her up." Shen Ruzhou informed him of the news he heard yesterday.
"Prince Regent? You mean the Beixiu Banquet." Mo Ru jumped up excitedly. Because the movement was too big, it also involved the wound, and he grimaced in pain.
Shen Ruzhou had no choice but to ask him to sit down and check again whether the wound was open.
Mo Ru was still unbearably excited, and kept boasting about the Northern Xiu Banquet, "When I was in southern Xinjiang, I heard that the regent was extremely brave and resourceful. The troops he led were invincible on the battlefield and victorious in every battle."
"I also heard that the regent is also outstanding in appearance. He has a jade-like face and a handsome figure. He is very extraordinary."
There is nothing better than admiring the Beixiu Banquet and praising it to the sky.
Then, he asked seriously: "Miss Shen, is the regent married?"
"No." Shen Ruzhou answered simply and neatly. Seeing the corners of Mo Ru's mouth raised with joy, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you ask this?"
Mo Ru did not hide anything and replied directly: "Our princess, like me, admires the regent very much. Before I went on my mission, she asked me to find out whether the regent is married and see if I can have another marriage with you. .”
After hearing what Mo Ru said, Shen Ruzhou felt sad.Beixiu Yan was so outstanding that not only the noble ladies in Kyoto, but also the princesses in southern Xinjiang wanted to marry him.She is just a concubine whose reputation has been ruined and her innocence has been lost. She should not have any thoughts about it.
Seeing that Shen Ruzhou didn't respond for a long time, Mo Ru stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "Miss Shen, what are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing." Shen Ruzhou quickly calmed down, waved his hand and said, "Envoy, please rest first, I'm going to copy scriptures."
Shen Ruzhou set up the incense table and copied scriptures with Master Jing'an in the Guanyin Hall. However, her mind was unsteady. She held the pen for a long time and allowed it to stain through the rice paper without writing a single word.
At this time, the sound of carriages and horses was heard outside, Master Jingxin stood up and went out to greet him. Shen Ruzhou knew that it was Beixiu Yan who came to pick up the envoy, so he deliberately avoided it and turned around to go to the backyard.
Thinking of leaving Xiao Ruohan behind at the Beixiu Banquet last night, Shen Ruzhou became inexplicably angry. As expected, no man could pass the test of beauty, and the Beixiu Banquet was not immune to this.
She came to the backyard, originally thinking of turning over the soil to plant herbs, but she didn't expect that the force on her hands increased unconsciously, and in the end she turned a good piece of land into pits.
After a while, Shen Ruzhou was sweating profusely. She raised her sleeves and was about to wipe them off when a sweat towel was handed to her.
She turned around and saw Beixiu Yan standing on the ridge of the field. He was dressed elegantly in white and had an unattainable aura about him.
Shen Ruzhou took the handkerchief, wiped it casually, and continued to work hard, not wanting to attend to the Beixiu Banquet.
Bei Xiuyan looked at it meaningfully, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "Why did you mess with this place, so that you have to hoe it into this state?"
"This land is just like people. Good seedlings can grow only if it is properly tidied up." Shen Ruzhou insinuated, raising the hoe high and hitting the ground hard.
Hearing this, Bei Xiuyan raised a smile on his lips and asked lightly: "Who do you want to deal with?"
"I think..." Shen Ruzhou just said two words. The hoe was deeply embedded in the soil and could not be pulled out. She let go of the hoe in frustration and said with bulging cheeks: "Even if I want to punish someone, I can't." That ability.”
"You'd better take care of yourself." Bei Xiuyan looked at Shen Ruzhou's haggard look, with a hint of distress in his eyes, "I have brought you some Zhuyancao to replenish your health."
Hearing this, Shen Ruzhou bit her lip, "I'm just a concubine, so I don't deserve to use such a good thing. The regent should give it to Xiao Ruohan."
After Shen Ruzhou finished speaking, he realized how jealous his words were. He quickly turned away and continued hoeing.
She used all her strength to pull out the hoe. Not wanting to use too much force, she leaned back with the hoe.
Bei Xiuyan stepped over in one swift step and reached out to catch Shen Ruzhou.
Half lying in Bei Xiuyan's arms, Shen Ruzhou's heart was pounding like a deer. She stood up in a hurry, lowered her head and lowered her eyes, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Bei Xiuyan guessed her thoughts and said calmly: "This king did not intend to protect Jianing, but just dealt with her. Who will marry her?"
Shen Ruzhou deliberately competed, "There is no princess princess among the royal relatives. The regent is worrying too much."
"Yes, yes, but which woman is willing to marry far away from southern Xinjiang." Shen Ruzhou muttered after Beixiu Yan finished speaking, "The regent is really sympathetic to her."
Suddenly a strong wind blew, and the sky and the earth instantly became dark.Big raindrops fell, with the force of a downpour.
Beixiu Yan pulled Shen Ruzhou back to the house. Even so, their hair and clothes were still wet, and they were quite embarrassed.
Shen Ruzhou went into the back room and took a handkerchief to wipe his hair. He was still angry when he saw the Zhuyancao placed on the table.
She handed the tray to Qin Ming, "Take them all back, I can't bear this gift."
Qin Ming looked at the Beixiu Banquet in embarrassment and saw that the other party didn't say anything, so he had to bite the bullet and said: "There is no reason to take back the gift I gave you. Miss Shen should keep it."
Shen Ruzhou angrily put the tray on the table, "If you don't take it away, I will throw all these out to feed the chickens."
Qin Ming hurriedly explained, "Miss Shen, this thing is extremely rare and valuable. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to feed it to chickens?"
