Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 155
Shen Xi didn't intend to hide everything from her, but he also didn't plan to reveal it to her right now.

Hearing this, he said: "Why don't you go to the small garden I mentioned just now and wait for me. I will stop here and come back to find you."

Shen Yan glanced at her and nodded.

After watching them disappear into the crowd, she pondered for a while, then turned around and planned to walk around, but suddenly she couldn't move!

She didn't know when there was a human wall in front of her...

"Miss Xiao, are you all right?"

He Lanzhun stood in front of her with his hands behind his back. His tall body was like green pines and green bamboos. When he put his face on the body of a young general, he was full of heroism. There was a bit of coolness in his eyes.

Shen Xi really forgot that he might meet him this time...

This is really hit the ghost!

Should I pretend not to know him or turn around and leave immediately?
Seeing that she didn't speak, He Lanzhun didn't urge her, but kept her eyes fixed on her, to see what kind of tricks she was going to play.

Shen Xi held his breath for a while, and finally bowed obediently: "Master He Lan."

If you want to be stared at by him in the future, it is indeed a good idea to leave, and it is impossible for the majestic master of the palace to hold her back.

But the key is that I left this time, what should I do next time we meet again?She also wanted to dig out his secrets, so she couldn't make the relationship any longer.

Besides, if she played tricks with him, wouldn't she still suffer in the end?When meeting people like Prince Yan's Mansion, she'd better be acquainted.

He Lanzhun's face could not be seen with any usual gentleness and modesty: "If I have not admitted my mistake, the lady just now should be the third lady of Shen Ruopu, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment.

"And if I heard correctly, Miss Shen called Miss Xiao the second sister just now. Don't you want to explain something about this?"

If he hadn't just met by chance, he might never have thought of being cheated by the courtier's family under his nose in his entire life!
And since she is a family member of an official, she should know that he is not easy to deceive. Thinking about how calm she was when she filled out the form with a fake name, she doesn't know where she got this courage?

Shen Xi also knew that He Lanzhun, as the head of the Chengyun Palace, had the power of life and death, and his external power might not be much worse than Xiao Huai's.

After pondering here for a while, he said calmly: "Master He Lan heard correctly, I am Shen Xi, the second young lady of the Shen residence."

He Lanzhun raised his head and squinted his eyes.

Shen Xi glanced at him, and then said: "That day I was playful and went to the execution ground to watch the excitement, and I didn't want to encounter such a thing.

"Later in the Zhongjun Yamen, because I didn't want to get involved in the mansion and cause my ancestors to reprimand me, I dared to deceive my lord. This is my crime. Please forgive me for my ignorance and recklessness."

He Lanzhun's eyes were gloomy, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry.

Originally, several months had passed and he had already forgotten about it, but now that she was standing in front of her majesticly, she also brought out the impression that was left in his mind that day.

Shen Ruopu's granddaughter...is really surprising!

"So, you are Shen Chongxin's daughter." He circled his chest, thinking of Shen Ruopu's second son who was bestowed to death three years ago.

Shen Xi nodded, "Yes."

He Lanzhun frowned even tighter.

If it is Shen Chongxin's daughter, then it is understandable.

But no matter how good Shen Chongxin is, their family background is still there, how could they teach such a generous young lady?

He looked at her for a while, and said, "It seems that I have to go to Ling Zu to talk about it."

After speaking, he turned around and walked down the steps.

Shen Xi paused, and quickly caught up: "Help, my lord!"

Is it okay to tell Shen Ruopu?Then the things that she and Xiao Huai also knew will probably be dug out by him!

Even if Shen Ruopu can't find out about her bloodline, but where is Xiao Huai's identity in the end, she doesn't want to cause extra problems because of Xiao Huai, and become the target of public criticism!
She quickly walked around in front of him, pursed her lips for a moment, and said: "My ancestor is very strict. If he knew that I was naughty, he would definitely shut me up in the Buddhist hall. Last time I came back after kneeling for several hours, I almost lost my life , I'm only 15 years old, I don't want to die yet.

"My lord, please forgive me, I will never dare again next time."

After she finished speaking, she gave a deep salute, lowered her eyebrows and looked down at her feet.

When there is no other way, pretending to be pitiful is also a way.

He Lanzhun glanced at her coldly.

Although he does not hesitate to use this status to suppress others, in the end he still has to control them on weekdays.

If people know that even a little girl can lie to him casually, how can he convince the public?

If he can't convince the crowd, it will directly affect whether King Yan can issue orders.

Glancing at her twice, he said: "You are so courageous, you don't look like an obedient child."

Shen Xi looked at his toes, anyway, as long as he didn't pester him anymore, he could say whatever he wanted.

He Lanzhun took a deep breath and planned to give up.

But when he lifted his foot, his nostrils moved slightly, and suddenly he looked at her wrist and said, "Is the lily fragrance you are wearing?"

Shen Xi is very tolerant of incense preferences, as long as it is of good quality and the fragrance of flowers she likes, she doesn't care what kind of fragrance she uses.

It is lily incense that is used today.But she didn't know why He Lanzhun was interested in his spices?

Seeing that she was silent, He Lanzhun frowned again.

Because of Chen Xiu's case, Shen Ruopu was repeatedly taken care of by Xiao Huai, and his granddaughter just happened to appear on the execution ground where Chen Xiu was beheaded.

The hidden weapon Chen Xiu hid in his mouth was supposed to be aimed at Xiao Huai, but when he saw her, he used it at her without hesitation.

And later in the Zhongjun Yamen, Xiao Huai arrived in time to take her away. Could it be that Shen Xi also played some role in this case?
It's been so long, he really doesn't want to mention it again.

But that day in Xiao Huai's small attic, the lingering fragrance he smelled was the fragrance of her body!

He thought for a while here, and then looked at Shen Xi, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes.

"Miss Shen and our eldest son seem to have a good friendship."

Shen Xi paused, and said: "Master He Lan may not know that I was hired as a jade appraiser by shopkeeper Liu of Qionghuatai, so I have occasional contact with the prince."

He Lanzhun paused when he heard this: "A jade appraiser from Qionghuatai?"

"Exactly." Shen Xi nodded.

How could she not know what he was spying on?

After all, she was taken away by Xiao Huai in the Zhongjun Yamen, and she had to explain her relationship with his eldest son.

She didn't want to announce the work of doing coolies for Xiao Huai, but in front of He Lanzhun, she had nothing to hide.

Judging from the fact that there is no news about the inside of the palace, no matter how tense the relationship inside the palace is, it is impossible to expose the flaws to the outside world.

Therefore, even if He Lanzhun knew about it, at least it was impossible for him to publicize it.

The ten-year contract is here, and it finally came in handy!

He Lan looked at her for a long while, then frowned to look at a magnolia tree next to her.

After a while, he turned his gaze back again.
