After responding to Zhuo Jin's words, Situ Jingyu really did stay in the side courtyard. Because the two courtyards were too close to each other, the slight movements next door would be noticed by others from time to time. This was probably the reason why Situ Jingyu wanted to stay here.
Originally, when Situ Jingyu first arrived, she had already paid respects to Luo Shang, but because Zhuo Jin said that her body was unwell, she sent him back.
However, if I find you, I won't be able to dodge it even if I wanted to.
It was a sultry day, and everything seemed to be in turmoil.
In the afternoon, Situ Jingyu stood at the entrance of Luo Shang's main courtyard holding a handmade osmanthus cake. She intentionally invited Luo Shang to sit in her own courtyard during the banquet, and the maids had also informed her a few times, but they were all rejected.
Because she was pregnant, the prince had personally instructed her to take good care of the imperial concubine, so how could she stand under this blazing sun for so long? If something happened, they would naturally be held responsible.
The maidservants couldn't help but complain in their hearts: This Princess Luo is too much. To be honest, I've seen her once. She shouldn't be so petty, not to mention that she's considerate and docile.
After a long time, Zhuo Jin finally came out. Seeing that Situ Jingyu still had not left, she was in a daze and frowned, thinking to herself that this girl was really troublesome to deal with. She refused to leave even after being dealt with like this, no wonder the Prince Jin was captivated.
She lightly coughed twice, and said impressively: "Princess Jing, my Miss is really not feeling well, and won't be able to move around. You should go back, wait until Miss is better, and then I'll come to visit you."
In truth, Zhuo Jin did not even tell Luo Shang about Situ Jingyu's visit, she did not even take a step towards the door.
"Miss Zhuo Jin, the Princess Jing has come, please let her in. The wangfei is sick, it's good that we brought some tonics over, it's good too …"
"This is bad!"
Without waiting for Ye Zhen to finish speaking, Zhuo Jin immediately interrupted him. How could she dare to trouble Jingfei and Miss Ye? I still have things to do, so I won't be sending off Jingfei. "
"You …" Ye Zhen's face became ugly, and just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Situ Jingyu.
Situ Jingyu continued to smile gently. Her tone was gentle, and her expression was innocent and innocent. Since my sister is so ill, I wouldn't dare to go back even if I couldn't serve her. "Well, I'll wait here for my sister until she sees me."
Zhuo Jin coldly snorted and dragged her head away. She was not willing to stay for even a moment longer, and even more so, wasn't willing to waste her time talking nonsense with this fox spirit.
After she left, Ye Zhen muttered a few sentences, and complained: "Princess, that girl is so presumptuous, why do we have to be so subservient, just look at her and be so arrogant."
Situ Jingyu squinted her eyes and whispered a few words into her ear. Ye Zhen nodded continuously and ordered a few servant girls to do as she said.
Zhuo Jin was Luo Shang's concubine. With how presumptuous she was, the people in the manor would naturally think that it was Luo Shang's idea. Since it happened to be Situ Youzi's will, he would most likely cause his people's hearts to decline.
When Situ Jingyu lived in a side courtyard, one could see how much Prince Jin doted on her. If word of this got out, they would definitely investigate Zhuo Jin's crimes. Prince Jin and Luo Shang had their enmity, so he would definitely hand the matter over to Situ Jingyu.
Luo Shang was intelligent, he would definitely meet her. Therefore, she had endured it the entire time as she watched that little girl act so impudently and not speak a single word.
As expected, the servants released the news, but surprisingly, Luo Shang did not compromise, as she wished. However, that was not important, because Prince Jin had said that during today's banquet, even if Luo Shang was sick, she would still have to bring him over.
In the hall —
The man looked at the empty seat with a cold expression.
Situ Jingyu sat beside him, leaning very close to him. Both of her hands were wrapped around the man's arms, and she said weakly: "My prince, let's wait a little longer.
She smiled seductively, and turned to look at Leng Yuxin, who was at the side, and spoke in a tender voice. Princess, what do you think? "
Leng Yuxin did not say a word, and only drank her tea, if not for the fact that she wanted to meet Luo Shang once, she would not have come to see her seductive demeanor.
After a while, a young maid stood at the foot of the stairs, trembling. She said, "Reporting to the prince, the imperial concubine said that she …"
"Didn't you say that even if big sister is sick, you have to bring her over?" Situ Jingyu added oil to the fire by the side.
"The maidservant pulled at the buttons on her clothes hesitantly. She was very scared and her voice was so soft that it was pitiful." No, no. The princess consort said that she didn't want to come, didn't want to see that she shouldn't … "A person I shouldn't have met."
"This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die. Prince, spare me, spare me!" After the servant finished speaking, he kneeled down on the ground. According to common sense, Leng Shaoyu would definitely be extremely angry, and his life might even be lost.
However, she didn't hear any crackling or emotional sounds. She just felt a chill, as if all the hair on her head had stood up and she felt a chill down her spine.
The maidservant lowered her head, and only when she saw the embroidered shoes did she slowly raise her head. Princess Hua-Yang came. What happened? Miss Ye Zhen had clearly told her that Princess Hua-Yang would not come.
Just as the servant was in a daze, Situ Jingyu coincidentally ordered her to go down.
The woman standing at the foot of the stairs had a face that was very thin and devoid of any makeup. Her body emitted a faint fragrance that made people want to approach her. "Her hair was simply tied up, and she wore a light colored robe without any adornments. She looked like she was floating in the air, giving off an ethereal feeling.
She looked at the man in the seat and walked up the steps without saying a word.
Originally, he had ordered Ye Zhen to guard the main courtyard of the Phoenix-resting Chamber. When someone came up to them, she had told them that the princess had refused to attend the banquet. It's good that she didn't come.
Situ Jingyu retracted the viciousness in her eyes, and the cold smile on her face instantly turned into a gentle smile. She stood up with a smile to welcome him, and said: "Elder sister, you're finally here." Turning around to face the man, she said in a spoiled manner, "Prince, see, chenqie says elder sister will come. You don't believe me."
Situ Jingyu reached out his hands to support her, but Luo Shang only smiled faintly and avoided her hands, walking towards her side.
According to common sense, the wangfei was supposed to sit by the prince's side, but this was not the case for her.
A series of casual movements and minor expressions fell into the man's eyes.
Luo Shang was about to sit down when she heard his ice-cold voice.
"I don't want to see people I shouldn't have. Why, do you not wish to see This King that much? "
His voice was extremely low, and there was even a hint of anger mixed in with the coldness.
Luo Shang's eyelashes moved slightly as she looked at Situ Jingyu, who was standing beside the man. She had a pleased smile on her lips, yet pretended to be innocent and wronged.
Luo Shang did not speak. Without even thinking, she knew what Situ Jingyu had done. She then calmly replied, "Why would Your Highness say such words, this concubine doesn't dare to do so."
She sat down with a light look in her eyes.
Leng Yuxin looked at Luo Shang with a pained expression. It had been a long time since they had last met, but she had actually become so haggard.
Halfway through the banquet, Situ Jingyu suddenly spoke out to the man in a delicate voice, "My prince, my concubine heard that my older sister's dancing posture was extremely graceful, and was almost able to obtain the top spot of the flower soul. This concubine doesn't want to have to listen to my ears and also wants to see my older sister's elegance, and doesn't know if My prince, my older sister, can satisfy my concubine's ridiculous request."
It sounded like a joke, but it brought about silence.
There was a time when Leng Shaoyu publicly humiliated Luo Shang and allowed her to play while playing with the zither. Now, Situ Jingyu had returned to her original appearance.
Leng Yuxin stood up in dissatisfaction. Since it's a ridiculous request, then there's no need for words and deeds. Moreover, big brother will not agree to it. "
Situ Jingyu did not place Leng Yuxin in her eyes at all, she looked at Leng Shaoyu.
The man's face was gloomy, the engraved exquisite handsome face exposed his overweeningly domineering attitude. His cold gaze carried a unique chill as he looked at the silent Luo Shang.
She calmly sat there without batting an eyelash.
In an instant.
"Until I heard his cold words." What are you still doing here? "
Following his ruthless and ice-cold words, Luo Shang closed her eyes.
He was still so ruthless.
Leng Shaoyu frowned, his expression serious as he stared at the lady's indifferent face.
She slowly raised her eyes, but there was not a single trace of resentment in them. The corner of her mouth had a slight curve to it. She stood up, her lips softly moving as she spoke in a weak voice.
"Alright."
"Luo Shang." Leng Yuxin shook her head, and pulled her arm, but was stopped by her gentle hand.
A solo dance, she danced to perfection, sad and beautiful. There was no melody, nor was there any chiming of the zither. The silver bell on her feet emitted a mournful sound. She danced extremely beautifully, and her smile was extremely clear.
At the end of the dance, she looked at him, her purple eyes trembling with a sparkling liquid within. Clenching his lips tightly, he didn't say a single word. With a smile that he hadn't worn for a long time, he turned around and left.
"Prince, why did sister leave?" Situ Jingyu leaned towards the man, looking as if she didn't know anything. Just as she was going to get close to him, she felt a cold air come out from the man's body, as if it was going to freeze everything.
Luo Shang who had just walked out of the hall, raised his eyes and looked at the four corners of the copper wall above him, his eyes filled with tears.
"If you want to cry, just cry. I've said it before, I can lend you my shoulder at any time."
It seemed like he hadn't heard this voice for a long time. It was sinister and charming, so how could he not be so hateful after hearing it at this moment?
Luo Shang knew it was him, so she pursed her cherry lips and lowered her head, turning around to look at him with a complicated expression, but she did not hesitate.
She said, "Please, take me."
"Leng Mufei's eyes were clearly in shock, he laughed sinisterly, and half smiled enchantingly. Why are you suddenly begging me to take you away? "
He had mentioned many times that he wanted to take her away, but at that time, no matter how injured she was, she would not want to leave this place. Her eyes were filled with hesitation, even if she hated Leng Shaoyu to the core, she would still hesitate. And at this moment, she said it as she expected.
"Because I want... Left him. You're right, he and I really can't be together. "I don't know who else to beg. If you don't want to …"
"I promise you." Leng Mufei readily agreed.
How could he not agree, if he could hear Luo Shang personally say that she would leave that man, he would definitely be happy, but how could she not agree.
He seemed to be planning something as he said with a profound tone, "But I have a condition."
