must have fun

Chapter 51

Shu Dianhe's appearance this time finally changed the rigid official robe.

The outerwear is a tulle and dark trousers, the upper and lower skirts are on the inside, and a folding fan is held in one hand. This is the fashionable dress for men in Kyoto in midsummer.

She rarely wears eye-catching clothes, as if deliberately hiding herself in the crowd.If it weren't for her face and temperament that couldn't be hidden, she would be similar to an ordinary person according to her ordinary clothes.

But on the other hand, she is still so different even though she is wearing the same normal clothes, it makes people angry just listening to it.

Xuancheng was very satisfied, he paid attention to changing his makeup, it can be considered that he came here sincerely, not just perfunctory himself.

There was nothing to say at the table, everyone was looking at the rice in their own bowls.

Xuancheng doesn't pay attention to etiquette when eating. After drinking the cotton for his own dishes, he raises his chopsticks and shakes the plates wantonly. The cups and plates are clanging, as if they are fighting, and the princess is sitting behind the scenes. commanding general.

On the other end, the son-in-law is so gentle, every peck and peck is elegant, and he chews slowly and swallows carefully.

There was a movement and a stillness, and it was clear that there was no boundary drawn on the table, but the two seemed to have made an appointment, they would not offend each other, and they did not look like a couple.

Nanny Chu looked even more worried.

This dish was specially prepared by Nanny Chu, and it contained both meat and vegetables.Because Xuancheng likes both meat and sweets, there are more meat dishes than vegetarian dishes, and each dish has a sauce-colored and sweet taste.

I don't know what happened, but halfway through the meal, all the sweet meat dishes arrived in front of the princess, and most of the dishes served by the son-in-law were vegetarian dishes.

Seeing that the son-in-law ate less, Grandma Chu thought that he was too embarrassed to reach out to pick up vegetables in front of the princess, so she brought the serving chopsticks, picked up a piece of tender meat with slightly charred skin, and put it in the son-in-law's bowl.

Shu Dian was taken aback for a moment, and thanked Mother Chu.

His politeness made Grandma Chu look relieved, and persuaded: "The son-in-law is thin and weak, we should eat more together."

Shu Dianhe smiled but said politely: "Shen usually doesn't eat much."

Xuancheng saw it and didn't say anything, but felt that the table was too quiet, and he was not used to having one more person, so he poked the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks, thought for a long time, and then asked, "Is the Imperial Academy busy?" ?”

Shu Dianhe politely declined Nanny Chu's request to bring her food again. She was already half full and just put down the bowl and chopsticks. Hearing this, she recalled that this was the first time she stayed in the princess mansion for such a long time after taking up her duties.

"It's okay, there are too many chores."

Xuancheng let out an oh, and had nothing else to say.

After the meal, Shu Dianhe saw that there was nothing wrong with him, and wanted to use the excuse that he had to deal with business to go back to the concubine's mansion.

Knowing that he couldn't stay, Xuancheng spoke first and said: "If there is nothing wrong, you can go back, I can't wait to see you." Taking advantage of the situation, he gave Shu Dianhe an excuse.

Shu Dianhe, as if he had received an amnesty, took the words and left.

As soon as she reached the heavy door, Nanny Chu came up and begged her, "My son-in-law, go slowly. This old slave has something to say to my son-in-law."

Seeing her, Shu Dianhe looked anxious, as if he had something important to say, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and followed her to a study room for guests in the corner of the courtyard.

After opening the door, Nanny Chu asked the son-in-law to go in first, while she stayed outside the door and waited for a while, checking to see if anyone was following behind.

It is said to be a study room, but it seems that the owner has never visited here, and it is a corner that has been neglected.The furnishings in the room are simple, with only two bookcases, the inside is empty, a table, a few chairs, and nothing else.

Shu Dianhexin used the folding fan to stroke the bookshelf, and the thick dust separated from both sides in an instant.

She had a thorough mind, without having to think about it, she guessed that she was deliberately dragged here because she was afraid of being overheard?

Just after wiping the folding fan clean with the silk she carried with her, Nanny Chu came in and closed the door.

Shu Dianhe held his breath, tucked the silk back into his sleeves, stood opposite Grandma Chu, and asked, "If you have anything you want to tell Shen, you can speak up."

Nanny Chu twisted her hands into her sleeves, hesitated and said: "I know that the son-in-law is good-natured and has good conduct. He is the best son-in-law chosen by the emperor for Princess Xuancheng. But..."

"But what?"

Nanny Chu made up her mind, the princess's happiness is the most important thing at the moment, if she offends the son-in-law carefully with her own words, it will not be too late to make amends, and said as death: "I just don't understand, why does the son-in-law treat the princess like this?"

Xuan Cheng, who was sitting alone in the front hall, had no idea what was going on here.

She rested her chin and stared blankly at the flickering candle flames, suddenly interested, and asked Mian'er to find a few straws from the backyard and play with the wicks.

Seeing that Shu Dianhe hadn't answered for a long time, Grandma Chu boldly asked, "It's because the princess has a bad temper, that's why the son-in-law doesn't want to go to the princess mansion often?"

"No..." Shu Dianhe wanted to say something, and Mother Chu thought she had guessed right.

"If it's really because the princess has a bad temper, please ask the son-in-law to punish the old slave. The queen has passed away for a long time, and the princess lost her mother when she was young. It was the old slave who failed to teach her well, which caused the princess to grow up to her current temperament and do nothing. The gentle and dignified son should be. It's the old slave's fault..."

She watched the princess grow up. She hoped that the princess would be good, and she didn't want to see the princess being neglected by her husband and son-in-law.

Otherwise, she would not dare to do these presumptuous things.

With tears in her eyes, Mother Chu immediately knelt down for Shu Dianhe.

Shu Dian closed his eyes and quickly supported her: "Nurse, don't be like this..."

"That's not the reason." She said decisively.

"Then again?" Nanny Chu was helped to stand up, and guessed again: "Could it be because the son-in-law and the princess have no feelings for each other?"

Shu Dian and Hatchback weighed whichever is less, just about to nod, when Mother Chu asked herself and answered: "But it's not important..."

Shu Dianhe looked at her inexplicably, two people who had never met each other before getting married, and who had never had any feelings, were forced to be together, and they were asked to have children immediately, isn't it important?

Nanny Chu is someone who has been there before, and she saw confusion in her eyes, and she explained to Shu Dianhe seriously: "The son-in-law and the princess have just married within a month, so it is natural that the relationship is not deep yet, but feelings need to be Only by talking and getting along with each other can they be born. The son-in-law has always been reluctant to come and accompany the princess, so what is the relationship?"

This is the case, Shu Dianhe can agree with her, but how could Nanny Chu understand her unspeakable secrets, she nodded on her face, perfunctory.

Simply speaking, this is the end of the story, and Mother Chu didn't keep any reservations anymore, and said, "Besides, the son-in-law treats the princess like this, have you ever thought about how outsiders will treat the princess?"

Shu Dianhe's calm breath froze.

Grandma Chu saw that the son-in-law was finally moved, and knew that she had hit the point. She took advantage of the victory and chased after her: "After only a few days of marriage, the son-in-law is unwilling to come and go to the princess mansion. The husband and wife share the same bed and have different dreams, and they are separated from each other. The son-in-law is a man, no one will To talk about how the son-in-law is, but to spread rumors about the princess.

The princess has a reputation for being unruly and willful.What the son-in-law did is undoubtedly once again causing people to tarnish the princess' reputation.How innocent is the princess? "

Every word she said was like a whipping on Shu Dianhe's heart, not a question but a question.

Shu Dianhe, who originally had guilt in his heart, was affected by it, and his heart, which was always peaceful, suddenly became stormy and turned the river upside down.

She turned her back, not wanting others to see her emotions.The tree shadow outside the window swayed and swayed, just like the disordered thoughts of the people in the house.

The princess did agree to make an agreement with her, but it didn't mean that she could trample on her reputation at will.

They still have to be a harmonious couple in the eyes of outsiders.

"I don't want the son-in-law and the princess to be friends with each other, as long as they can raise their eyebrows and not let outsiders gossip behind their backs." Nanny Chu said with the last bit of helplessness, as if crying blood.Looking at her face again, she was already full of tears.

Shu Dian closed her eyes and sighed, she was nailed to her fate after all, trying to escape responsibility.

Perhaps, the moment she chose the imperial examination, she was doomed to have no choice.

"May I ask you something..." she said in a hoarse voice.

Nanny Chu raised her head from her grief, and stared at the tall son-in-law in confusion.

"Shen wants to read here every day in the future." Shu Dianhe said in embarrassment: "Please ask me to clean this study room."

Nanny Chu was stunned, and later realized what the son-in-law Wanzhuan meant, and turned from grief to joy, and hurriedly wiped away her tears and agreed.

"Is the son-in-law leaving tonight?"

"Don't go."

"Finally, old slave, please ask your son-in-law one more thing." Nanny Chu took two steps back and knelt down. Shu Dianhe wanted to help her up again, but was rejected.

"I hope the son-in-law can forgive the old servant's crime of disrespect tonight, and don't tell the princess what you and I have said tonight."

"The princess has always hated other people interfering in her affairs. If I let her know that this old servant is talking too much, this old servant can only apologize with death." She buried her head deeply, as if Shu Dianhe did not agree, she would not get up.

Shu Dianhe has already backed down to the bottom line, there is nothing else he can't agree to, and he holds his palms up: "Get up, I promise you carefully."

No matter how resistant the straw is, it can't stand being poked in the fire all the time.After a while, the whole straw was only as long as a thumb, and the rest were burned into charcoal.Xuancheng was tired of playing, and it was boring, so he dropped the straw.

Just as he was about to get up and go back to his room, he suddenly saw Shu Dianhe's figure coming back in the candlelight, and thought he was overwhelmed.She straightened her back and rubbed her eyes. She was right, Shu Dianhe had indeed returned, and was already standing in front of her.

"Why hasn't the princess gone to rest?" Shu Dianhe was equally surprised when he saw her.

"How do you sleep at this hour?" Xuancheng asked with a smile on his face while resting his hands on the edge of the table.

As soon as the words fell, the Geng Drum of Xushi on Qiaolou just sounded, and it was heard from afar.

Shu Dian swallowed, trying to make up for the loopholes in his words: "I want to ask..."

"Why did you come back?" Xuancheng squinted one eye and looked at Shu Dianhe: "Did Mother Chu not let you go?" The smile obviously stagnated.

The folding fan in Shu Dianhe's hand was twirling rapidly with her wrist behind her, "No." Without changing her face, she denied it categorically: "I left here voluntarily."

Xuancheng was skeptical and wanted to ask why: "You..."

Nanny Chu came up in time, rescued Shu Dianhe, and said, "Princess's bath water is ready."
