Vicious Male Partner is a Girl
Chapter 18: life experience
The county mansion has been exceptionally quiet these past few days. Mrs. Zheng went to Qixuan Temple to relax and enjoy incense after that night. Shen Xiangpei wanted to sue the old lady that night, but she also bumped into the old lady. nail. The old lady told her to respect her brother.
Shen Fengzhang mostly left early and returned late these few days, except to support her housekeeper's maid and drive away a steward vigorously, he didn't actually go looking for Shen Jun's affairs.
Shen Juan went to Baiwen Tower in the morning and came back in the afternoon to read and practice calligraphy and painting, and his days were peaceful.
"Why are you sighing?"
In the Baiwen building, Shen Jun packed up his things, smiled and nodded to the familiar literati, and led Li Miao downstairs. In front of his attendants, Shen Juan has always been a considerate, generous, kind and approachable master.
Li Miao came back to his senses, scratched the back of his head, and said embarrassedly: "I just feel that the past few days have been too peaceful." Usually, Mr. Xiao Lang would come to trouble Mr. Da Lang every now and then.
"Isn't it good to be calm?" Shen Juan asked back as he stepped out of the gate of Baiwenlou.
"It's not bad." Li Miao muttered, "I just feel a little, a little—"
Li Miao stared at the carriage parked in front of Shen Jun in surprise. The carriage compartment was tightly covered with blue curtains, without any markings. The middle-aged man driving the carriage looked ordinary, not like a servant, but like a guard.
"Mr. Shen, my lord invites you to a gathering."
A corner of the cyan curtain was lifted, Li Miao opened his mouth wide, unable to believe the face he saw.
On the slowly moving carriage, Shen Jun and Xie Xiudu sat opposite each other.
Xie Xiudu personally poured a cup of tea for Shen Jun, "Did Mr. Shen think about leaving Jiankang and traveling around?"
"Never."
Xie Xiudu looked at the calm and composed Shen Jun, and sighed slightly, "To tell you the truth, Mr. Shen looks quite similar to an uncle of mine. Last time I wanted to invite Mr. Shen to visit my house because of this."
"Mr. Shen, do you know who my uncle is?"
Even though he was clear in his heart, Shen Juan still shook his head on the bright face, pretending to be ignorant.
"My uncle's single name is a single word." Xie Xiudu didn't say much, but instead said: "Shen Langjun looks so similar to my uncle, if he stays in Jiankang, if he is seen by the current supreme." He shook his head, omitting the words talk. In fact, during this period of time, the Xie family had already found out that Shen Juan's biological mother had nothing to do with the Xie family. Father Xie told Xie Xiudu not to get involved in this matter again, but thinking of his similar appearance to Uncle Xian and Aunt Xian, Xie Xiudu couldn't help but want to remind Shen Jun.
After understanding Xie Xiudu's unfinished words, Shen Jun didn't show any panic on his face. He smiled slightly and thanked Xie Xiudu for his kindness, "However, I will not leave Jiankang."
He has known for a long time that his face will be recognized sooner or later, so he will not appear in front of that person before he has a firm foothold. In order to get back the throne and avenge his mother, he will definitely stay in Jiankang!
Watching Xie Xiudu's carriage drive out of the city, Shen Jun led Li Miao back again.
Li Miao had been speculating on what Mr. Xie Lang wanted to do with Mr. Da Lang all the way, until he returned to the county mansion and entered the Jiangfu Courtyard, when he was interrupted by another incident.
"What is this?" Li Miao took the invitation from the attendant with trembling fingers.
The attendant who came to deliver the invitation could understand Li Miao's mood, "His Royal Highness the King of Xiangyang sent someone to deliver the invitation in the morning, Lord Dalang is not here, so I will leave it to the mansion for safekeeping." After he finished speaking, he bowed to Shen Jun and bid farewell.
Li Miao turned around and handed the invitation to Shen Jun, his voice trembling with excitement, "Your Majesty! His Royal Highness the King of Xiangyang has issued an invitation for you alone!" He was so happy for Mr. Da Lang, after all the hard work, Mr. Da Lang finally made it through!
Shen Jun held the invitation, but he was not as excited and excited as Li Miao.
Zhao Yuanmu was so angry that Shen Fengzhang threw his sleeves away last time, this time he would be so kind to invite him, a concubine of the Shen family, to the banquet?
The visitor is not good.
Although he knew that this must be a grand banquet, Shen Juan was never afraid. There was a smile on his lips, and he handed the invitation to Li Miao, asking him to put it away.
Li Miao carefully placed the invitation as if he was carrying a treasure. Shen Juan turned around and walked towards the study.
The study room has always been the most relaxing place for Shen Juan. Most of the time, when he was alone in the study, he would drop his disguise. However this time, as soon as he entered the study, the aura around him remained unchanged, still pretending to be gentle.
A black figure fell from the beam and landed lightly and flexibly.
"Who are you?!" Shen Juan's face became solemn, he immediately got up from the chair, and stared warily at the middle-aged man in black in front of him.
The middle-aged man knelt down, bowed his head and saluted, "Meet the little master!"
Suspicion appeared on Shen Juan's handsome face, and his brows were tightly frowned, "Who the **** are you?!"
The middle-aged man's eyes were red, and his voice was slightly choked with excitement, "Little master! You are not from the Shen family, you are a descendant of the Xie family!"
"If you want to say that I am a descendant of Xie Xian, then there is no need! Please leave quickly, Your Excellency!"
The middle-aged man was full of remorse and guilt, "No, you are the descendant of Mr. Xie. Your mother is the late Empress Xian." The middle-aged man then told a story.
Back then when Xie Xian knew that he was doomed to die and would even implicate Xie's family, he sent the guards around him to protect Princess Xie and Empress Xie, who were the only ones who could survive. When Xie Xian died, the emperor really did not implicate Empress Xie, but since then, the emperor favored Concubine Yin and neglected Empress Xie. Empress Xie was intelligent and quick-witted, and knew that the emperor would not let her go. Sure enough, less than a year before Xie Xian was killed, she was framed for trying to murder the emperor with witchcraft. Empress Xie knew that it was Concubine Yin who framed her, and she also knew that the emperor favored Concubine Yin. At that time, the emperor only wanted to abolish her as the empress, but Empress Xie had a strong temper, and to prove her innocence, she committed suicide.
The palace people dug up two corpses, one large and one small, from the charred ruined palace. Everyone thought that Empress Xie brought the two-year-old eldest prince to die together, but they didn't know that Empress Xie had already sent her guard Xie Yong to send the real eldest prince out of the palace.
"It's my subordinate who didn't take good care of you and lost you, His Highness, which led to being separated from you for so many years." The middle-aged man grabbed the ground with his head and kowtowed, "This subordinate has been looking for His Highness all these years. Because recently Xie Erlang After investigating your highness, the subordinates found out that your highness is in Jiankang!"
As early as when the middle-aged man was telling stories, Shen Juan's face showed a dazed look. The more he listened, the tighter he pursed his lips. At this moment, he took a deep breath and asked calmly, "What evidence do you have to prove that I am the eldest prince?"
"When Her Majesty the Queen ordered her subordinates to take you away, she put a bracelet of seven treasures on you."
Shen Juan said softly, "I don't have any Seven Treasure bracelets on me."
The dark face of the middle-aged man was flushed red, full of shame, and he lowered his head like a child who did something wrong, "It's my subordinate's fault." His Highness was only two years old at the time, how could he keep the priceless Qibao bracelet. His excited expression was replaced by depression, and he felt that His Highness might not believe him.
However, things turned around.
"But I remember that I did see a bracelet of seven treasures when I was a child." Shen Jun said, describing the appearance of the bracelet.
"That's right, it's just like this!" The big man suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with enthusiasm, "Your Highness, you are the child of the former queen! Back then, my subordinates wanted to go back to save the former queen, but unexpectedly lost His Highness. Please allow me, Your Highness." The subordinates will follow by your side, and they will be punished for their merits!"
Shen Juan restrained his face and looked solemn. He was silent for a while, and then slowly said, "It's not your fault."
No, it's your fault!
Shen Juan turned around abruptly, concealing the uncontrollable coldness on his face. He had a very early memory, and he remembered clearly what happened back then.
In the middle of the night, Xie Yong led him out of the palace, and left the city early the next morning. Halfway through, Xie Yong left him at a tea stall, turned around and went back to Beijing to take away the empress's body.
The tea stall that Xie Yong hurriedly found was actually a black shop. As soon as Xie Yong left, the owner of the tea stall immediately took him to the east and sold him to a childless couple on the way. A year later, the couple gave birth to a son, who was sold to a kidnapper by the family. The kidnappers took these children to another city and forced them to beg and steal.
Fight for food with wild dogs, keep company with mice, kneel and kowtow for a few cents. Shen Juan remembered that he was from the royal family, but he could only sink his knees into the mud.
Shen Juan's eyes seemed to be frozen, and it seemed to be covered with a layer of gray mist, and the waves were treacherous. For the first time, his always handsome and gentle face truly revealed his inner emotions.
Xie Yong never noticed Shen Jun's emotions. He recalled the old master and the former empress, and sighed: "Your Highness looks very similar to the master and the former empress. Even the demeanor and temperament are very similar. It really is the Xie family."
When Shen Juan heard this, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips. That smile made him look even more sinister, cold and frightening.
Those filthy, dark, and disgusting days left a deep imprint on him. He couldn't be a noble Xie family member, nor could he be a member of the royal family.
Turning around, Shen Juan had already collected his emotions, his face was calm, and there was no trace of resentment.
He has been in Jiankang for so many years and has been waiting for this guard. He will never allow success to fall by the wayside!
At the same time, Jingxingyuan.
Shen Fengzhang was flipping through the invitation in his hand. Like Shen Jun, she didn't feel that Zhao Yuanmu sincerely invited her to be a guest.
She was just about to consider whether to go or not when she heard the sound of the system.
[Host, you must go. According to the system detection, the male protagonist will encounter danger at this banquet, and the host needs to go together to protect the male protagonist. 】
Hearing this, Shen Fengzhang threw the invitation aside. Well, it seems that she has to go if she doesn't want to.
The time marked on the invitation is three days later.
It was so fast that before people could react, three days had passed.
Zhao Yuanmu's banquet is here!
