I didn't become a princess today

Chapter 5 When did our Zhongyihou Mansion become rich overnight?
There is a Ruyi Pavilion in the palace, and there are many painters in the Ruyi Pavilion, with superb painting skills. During the annual draft, or some important events in the palace, when important banquets are held, the painters of the Ruyi Pavilion will attend together with the historian to record the events. down.

And Gu Xingzhi is the current curator of the Ruyi Museum, with superb painting skills, and each painting is worth a thousand dollars.

I heard that he presented a picture of a thousand beautiful peonies at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet two years ago, which attracted several butterflies to stay on it, mistaking it for the real one.

Wei Yan unfolded the picture scroll brought by Shen Yuan, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Do you want to worship Gu Xingzhi as your teacher?"

Shen Yuan shook her head, and said: "I already have a master, and I will not worship the second master in my life, I just want to find an excuse to enter the palace every day."

"Then what are you doing in the palace?" Wei Yanshun asked.

Shen Yuan said nothing, just stared at Wei Yan for a while, Wei Yan was a little flustered.

The spring banquet this time was held on the hillside of Moon Moon Mountain in the western outskirts of the city. Shen Yuan raised a corner of the curtain. Most of the people attending the banquet were scholars in Confucian robes and full of bookish atmosphere, and there were very few dignitaries.

Because this spring banquet was initiated by the third prince Wei Zhuo, many children from poor families wanted to take this opportunity to stand out and join the third prince's family.

Wei Yan also got out of the carriage only to find out that the host of this spring banquet was actually Wei Zhuo. He looked at Shen Yuan with displeasure, and said, "Why do you have Wei Zhuo's post?"

Shen Yuan tilted her head and said innocently: "It's not my post, it was sent by His Highness the Third Highness to send you off, otherwise I would definitely ask the prince to follow."

Wei Yan was so angry that he stretched out his hand to pinch Shen Yuan's white and tender face, rubbed it vigorously, and said viciously: "From now on, you are not allowed to ask for anything related to Wei Zhuo, no exception!"

"Roar..." Shen Yuan replied with tears in her eyes.

Only then did Wei Yan let her go, seeing the red marks on Shen Yuan's cheeks, she felt guilty again: "You are so thin-skinned."

Shen Yuan gave him a blank look.

On the mountainside of Yueyue Mountain, pavilions, buildings, and stars are scattered all over the place, surrounded by green mountains and green bamboos, birds singing, and a winding and slender stream left from the top of the mountain. Tables have been set up on both sides of the stream, and melons are placed on the tables. Fruit wine is for people to enjoy.

Wei Yan attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared, obviously no one had heard that Prince Qin's son would come, even Wei Zhuo was shocked.

The post this time is just a formality, Wei Yan has never been used to him, and he seldom comes to his banquet.

"Cousin...cousin, why are you here?" Besides the emperor and concubine mother, the person Wei Zhuo fears the most is Wei Yan.

Wei Zhuo still remembers when he saw Wei Yan for the first time as a child, because he mistook him for a girl, he threw himself on him and hugged him, but he broke his hands in the end.

Later, when Wei Yan was 13 years old, because he offended Emperor Yunjing, he was exiled by Emperor Yunjing to join the army. Although he was exiled, he returned to King Qin's territory. With King Qin's protection, he must have had a good life.

But when Emperor Yunjing said he would join the army, Wei Yan really joined the army, starting from the lowest ranks of soldiers.

Unexpectedly, the next year, Xiliang invaded, and Wei Yan sneaked into the Xiliang army camp alone, secretly cut off the head of the enemy commander, rode back to Chang'an, and threw the enemy's head in front of Emperor Yunjing.

Wei Zhuo still remembers to this day that 14-year-old Wei Yan threw the enemy's head covered in blood in front of Emperor Yun Jing on the Empress Dowager's birthday.

However, Wei Yan still looked excited, with blood on his face, and asked with a grin, "What do you think of this birthday gift, Queen Mother?"

When Wei Zhuo saw the bloody head, he fainted on the spot.

"Since the Third Highness sent me a message, of course I want to come." Wei Yan replied indifferently.

"The cousin wants to have fun today, this hall..."

Wei Zhuo shook his body and was about to say something nice to Wei Yan, when the eunuch behind him coughed, Wei Zhuo was startled again, and looked back at him.

The attendant reminded in a low voice: "Third Highness, you are the prince, and he is just a prince."

Wei Zhuo was apprehensive, he said silently twice that he was the prince, his back was straight, and he was a bit tougher than before, and said to Wei Yan: "I heard that my cousin was imprisoned in Dali Temple yesterday because he injured Zhong. Restrain yourself, or one day you will offend someone you shouldn't..."

Wei Yan glanced over with a domineering aura, Wei Zhuo's voice became smaller and smaller...

Oh my god, it's still scary!Wei Zhuo took a few steps back and hid behind the attendant.

Wei Yan walked past them disdainfully, and Shen Yuan hurriedly followed.

"Why is Your Highness so afraid of the crown prince?" Shen Yuan asked with interest holding a scroll in her hand.

"What are you doing asking so much?" Wei Yan waved his hands perfunctorily, but obviously after bullying Wei Zhuo, he was in a good mood.

Seeing that Wei Yan was in a good mood, Shen Yuan was about to tease him, but unexpectedly saw Shen Qianqian, who was well-dressed and pretending to be reserved, walking towards this side.

"Sister Yuan'er, you left in such a hurry yesterday that my sister didn't even have time to talk to you." Shen Qianqian said so, but her eyes were always looking at Wei Yan, her cheeks flushed.

As if he just saw Wei Yan, Fushen bowed and said, "The Shi Ziye is here, Qianqian has seen the Shi Ziye."

Wei Yan glanced at Shen Qianqian impatiently, and said to Shen Yuan: "Isn't your sister Shen Yu? Where did another sister appear?"

"It's just a concubine who doesn't know the rules." Shen Yuan reminded Shen Qianqian of what happened yesterday, and hoped that she would retreat in spite of the difficulties. After all, with the reputation of the Zhongyi Houfu, she didn't want Shen Qianqian to be too unsightly outside.

But Shen Qianqian didn't know how to restrain herself, and she said pitifully: "How could my sister say that about me? We have a weak heir in the Marquis of Loyalty, and my grandmother told us to get along well and take care of each other outside."

When Shen Qianqian said this in front of Wei Yan, she just wanted to tell Wei Yan how ruthless Shen Yuan was, disregarding family affection.

Unexpectedly, Wei Yan didn't even look at her, but instead grabbed the hairband on Shen Yuan's head to play with.

Shen Yuan lost her patience, untied her purse from her waist and threw it into Shen Qianqian's arms.

Shen Qianqian held her purse, puzzled, "What are you doing, sister?"

"Isn't it what you said about taking care of each other? I thought you should have nothing but money." Shen Yuan said innocently.

Shen Qianqian choked, and when she heard people laughing at her, she said angrily, "When have I ever been short of money?"

Shen Yuan blinked, and said: "Is there no shortage of money? But what you are wearing now, and what you are wearing on your head, belong to my sister. I thought you were short of money and couldn't afford new ones, so you stole my sister's clothes." passed through."

"Although our Zhongyihou's mansion is not as rich as other families, we will definitely not lose the food and clothing of anyone in the mansion. In the future, we should not do things like stealing people's clothes."

Shen Qianqian felt guilty, she entered Shen Yu's room without authorization a few days ago, and seeing so many beautiful dresses and haircuts in her closet, she couldn't help stealing them.

Shen Yu seldom wore red makeup, and she never wore these dresses, and she and Shen Yu happened to be similar in stature.

Shen Qianqian thought that no one would see it, but she didn't expect Shen Yuan to recognize it.

"How could I steal it? I bought it myself!" Shen Qianqian gritted her teeth.

"Oh? You bought it?"

Shen Qianqian suddenly had the illusion that she had fallen into a trap, but she could only bite the bullet and say, "Of course!"

"Then it seems that one day I will go back to the mansion and ask my grandmother, when did our Zhongyihou mansion get rich overnight, and the mere concubine still has money to afford snow satin." Shen Yuan smiled coldly.
