All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 209 Worthy of My Contract Husband

Shen Lingxi's nerves tensed instantly, as if he was facing an enemy.

Since she asked Shengxie to bring her here, she had already prepared the words she would reply when Chu Yan asked about it in the future.

But Shen Lingxi never thought that he would come to Shouling Palace and bump into her.

Seeing Shen Lingxi's guilt-ridden appearance, Yunya became more confident in her speculations, she responded outside the door, and glared at her little niece pretending to be angry.

"I watched you grow up, what kind of medicine is sold in your gourd, can I not see it?"

Yun Ya said in a deep voice: "Xiao Wu, today is different from the past. This is Da Zhou, not in the Yun Country Medicine Palace. You can't let you mess around with anything. No matter what your ideas are, I will never let you take the marriage It's a trifling matter. If the two of you didn't agree with each other, I would never agree to this marriage, so I'll go and discuss it with His Highness."

She said, and went out.

Shen Lingxi grabbed her sleeve and said anxiously: "Little aunt, I really like him, and he really likes me. We really love each other. He doesn't know about my resurrection, nor my past identity , let alone believe in such a thing, you must not let it slip..."

"Whether the two are in love or not, it's not up to you, I have eyes to see." Yunya said with a straight face, "Anyway, I would rather stay in this palace for the rest of my life than let you I'm going out and doing something stupid."

Her usually gentle eyes are now full of sternness.Pulling back the sleeves, he opened the door and went out.

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi's eyebrows jumped.

There is Chu Yan who "appeared" here by accident.

There is a little aunt who "does not agree to the marriage" in the back.

She is really a shabby house today with continuous rain.

I really didn't expect that my little aunt is still the same as before after five years of absence... It's hard to fool.

Shen Lingxi gritted her teeth secretly, clenched her palms tightly, and hurriedly chased after her.

The two came out of the main room one after the other, Chu Yan was surrounded by the servants of the Shouling Palace, and they had already reached the gate of the courtyard.

Chu Yan was wearing a homely black Taoist robe, tall and tall, with a deep and handsome face. As always, he was majestic and cold, as if covered with ice, and his whole body was filled with an aura that strangers should not get close to.

Yunya stepped forward to greet her.

When Shen Lingxi saw Chu Yan, her eyes moved slightly, and she passed Yun Ya directly to meet her.

"You're here." She greeted Chu Yan quickly, took a step forward, stretched out her small pale hand, hooked Chu Yan's big palm directly, raised her bright almond eyes, and looked at him, "I originally I was going to look for you after finishing my work, but I didn't expect you to come here."

Soft voice, with a few hints of coquettish tone.

All the people present showed surprise on their faces.

His Royal Highness, the grandson of the emperor, is notoriously obsessed with cleanliness. He never likes to be close to others, and there is never even a servant around him.

They have never seen the grandson of the emperor and a woman be so intimate in public.

It seems that it was widely rumored outside the palace that the emperor's grandson was going to marry a concubine, and it was almost inseparable.

Not only them, but even Yunya looked at the two holding hands in surprise.

She had lived in the Eastern Palace for a year, so she had heard of the temper of His Royal Highness the Grandson of the Emperor.

As for my little niece, she was placed on the seat of a saint when she urinated, and her words and deeds were always measured by a ruler, so how could she easily show her intimacy in front of others.

Could it be that the two of them really love each other?
The thoughts of the living people were all hidden in their stomachs, while the female ghosts who followed Chu Yan to watch the excitement all showed teasing smiles.

"I'm enlightened, I'm enlightened, the little girl is finally enlightened!"

"That's right. They're going to get married soon, so there's no need to avoid suspicion in front of others. This is how they should be."

"Oh, it's such a good match, and they are in love with each other. I'm so envious."

"The crown princess is so lucky, she will have many good daughter-in-laws and daughters in the near future!"

The female ghosts excitedly circled around the two of them, not forgetting to congratulate the late princess Xie Zhanghua.

Xie Zhanghua followed his son to pay respects to his late husband early in the morning. Seeing the love between his son and daughter-in-law, his face was both sad and joyful, and he couldn't help wiping away tears.

Shen Lingxi originally wanted her little aunt to see with her own eyes that she and Chu Yan were really "in love with each other", so she would save face and make such a bad move.

Unexpectedly, the living people hadn't responded yet, but the undead had already started booing.

Shen Lingxi has always been unable to resist the teasing of female ghosts, let alone this time in front of the former princess Xie Zhanghua.

Her face was full of embarrassment, it was a guilty conscience, and it was guilt for deceiving the former Crown Princess.

Chu Yan's eyes were lowered, and her eyes were fixed on Shen Lingxi's bright red face.

This was the first time she had been so intimate with him in front of everyone.

No.

Even if the two of them were in private before, she had never taken the initiative to be intimate like this.

The corners of Chu Yan's lips twitched slightly.

It seems that last night's speculation was not his illusion.

Sensing Shen Lingxi's white and greasy little hands, which were soft and slightly cool, Chu Yan wrapped her hands in her palms very naturally and warmed them up, "Hands are so cold, next time you go out, you should wear thicker clothes."

He explained in a light tone, "I passed by here and heard you were here, so I came to see you."

After a pause, she followed what she said just now, and asked casually: "How is the matter going?"

When Shen Lingxi heard this, her heart felt warm.

This time, she said to outsiders that coming to Shouling Palace to "do business" was an excuse to temporarily pull up his banner and talk nonsense.

Now that he knew it, instead of blaming her, he cooperated with her to lie in public.

He is indeed the contracted husband who will cooperate with her in the future.

"It's already finished." Shen Lingxi raised her small face, smiled at him, and said pointingly: "But just now in Liangdi's room, I saw an unfinished "Landscape of Yunguo". I heard that the emperor asked Eunuch Zhu to instruct Di Liang to embroider it, I saw that Di Liang's stitches are somewhat different from the original drawing, why don't I take the embroidery back, repair it, and then present it to the emperor, okay?"

When Chu Yan heard this, he immediately understood the meaning.

His eyes turned cold, and he looked sideways at little Eunuch Zhu, "What happened? Why didn't you come to report to Gu?"

Little Eunuch Zhu hurriedly knelt down and apologized, "Your Highness, please forgive me. This servant originally planned to wait for Emperor Liang to finish embroidering the picture before reporting to His Highness. Manager Zhu also said that this matter is a trivial matter, so you don't need to alarm Your Highness. ..."

Chu Yan looked at him with cold eyes.

"I won't say what Gu said a second time. Since the picture has not been sent out, Gu will think that you are a first-time offender. Forgive you this time. If there is a next time, you will also hand over your little life. .”

Little Eunuch Zhu was horrified, he kowtowed again and again, not daring to be negligent.

Seeing this, all the people present were silent like cicadas, they all understood from the bottom of their hearts that in this Shouling Palace, matters related to Yun Liangdi must not be ignored, otherwise it will be the fate of little Eunuch Zhu.

Chu Yan's majestic eyes swept across the faces of the people, taking in their expressions.

Then he turned his head to look at Yunya, and asked politely and distantly: "I wonder if the eldest princess is willing to hand over the embroidery picture to the lonely future princess?"
