Chapter 1
In the green gauze tent, inside the bead curtain, layers of tulle are rolled up by the late-night wind outside the window, and the tip of the tail is gently raised, as if it wants to touch people's heartstrings.

The beauty was lying in front of the couch but frowned, looking deeply at the embroidery shed erected in front of her, feeling troubled.

"It's very cold tonight, Ah Lu, you can embroider for me." The voice, like a nightingale, was pleasant to the ear but did not move the maidservant standing beside her.

"How can a maidservant touch Miss's wedding dress, Miss should embroider it herself." The woman called Ah Lu was the maid who served Shen Mingxi since she was a child.

"Hey——" This is the 160th and fifth time Shen Mingxi has sighed without any scruples about his image.

This marriage was arranged a year ago by the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. After the decision was made, she was locked in this boudoir, and she did not leave the door.

It should be to avoid suspicion, because she is already a girl waiting to be married, so she should avoid this foreign man, it would be bad for her reputation.

The two parties handed over their horoscopes a few days ago, and after asking someone to figure it out, they handed in a marriage letter.

Only then did Shen's mother realize that her wedding gown hadn't been sewn yet, so she completely restrained her feet, and now she really couldn't even leave the house.

I have been locked in the room for more than half a month, and I am almost suffocated.

"Hey." It's a pity that I really can't embroider.

"Third Miss, don't sigh anymore, the night is getting darker and the dew is heavy, let's take a rest first." Ah Lu persuaded from the side, but this order was made by the Lord's mother, and she can't disobey it, so she can't help.

"Serve me to bed." After saying that, he put down the needle and thread in his hand.

The April wind still carried the spring chill that hadn't faded away. After all, it was still frozen, and it burned up the next day.

After asking a doctor to look at it, I drank the medicine and sweated, but nothing happened.

But at least Shen's mother was relieved, other wedding dresses could be plucked by others, but Shen Mingxi had to ask Shen Mingxi to embroider the mandarin ducks on the hijab.

Shen Mingxi naturally understood that this was the ultimatum from Shen's mother, so he could only agree.

It's not that now it's just placed outside the house from the inside, and I can only look outside helplessly and listen to the lively voices coming from outside.

"Ah Lu, why is there a banquet in the mansion today." Shen Mingxi asked nonchalantly as he fiddled with the strings of the zither.

"Back to Miss San, it is the Eldest Young Master who has been granted the title, and he is currently accepting the award in the palace, and he will be back in the afternoon." Ah Lu replied standing behind.

"Oh, it's actually Shen Qi!" The sound of the piano in his hand stopped suddenly.

Shen Qi is the eldest son but not a direct descendant, while Shen Zizi is indeed a direct descendant, the two were born on the same day, but because Shen Qi's mother mobilized ahead of time, the second son of the Shen family came out a quarter of an hour earlier.

As for the various reasons for it, I don't even need to think about it.

It's just that the second son of Shen who was originally valued now has allowed the eldest son of the Shen family to obtain the title first.

I'm afraid that this mansion is lively, not just today.

"It seems that the next six months will not be boring." The sound of the piano continued to play leisurely, out of tune and out of tune.

In the end, she was able to hide at leisure, she was not a direct descendant, she was not welcomed by the mistress, and she was a woman, so she would be just a pawn in marriage in the future.

The chess pieces just need to be obedient, so Shen Mingxi still did a good job.

Shen Mingxi smiled lightly, and said, "Ah Lu, go and get some refreshments, I'm a little hungry."

"Yes." Ah Lufu backed out.

Looking at the closed door again, he deliberately pointed out Ah Lu, taking advantage of today's rush, she wanted to go out to meet someone.

It's just that he didn't expect that person to be in his home, and the last thing he expected was the identity of the other party.

On the light red and colorful cloud brocade of dark flowers, there is a python robe with fangs and claws hovering. It turns out that from the beginning, I am not the only one who concealed it.

The breath of silence spread out without saying anything.

Maybe the other party knew his identity early in the morning, but he was stupid and didn't know it.

"Long time no see." Seeing that he hadn't spoken, Xu Shi broke the deadlock first.

The round fan covers the face to hide the appearance, but the embroidered side of the tulle can still reflect the half-covered face. After all, she is a body to be married and cannot see outsiders.

In order to avoid suspicion, he backed off half a step, Fu Fushen accepted the other party's greeting, and he was not lacking in etiquette.

Xu Shijian had never seen him before, he was so indifferent, he stretched out his hand as if he was in a hurry, and was about to step forward, but fortunately, a human voice from the side interrupted the other party's very unruly manner.

"Brother Sulfone, please keep Shen waiting, it's here." Shen Zizi, who hurried over from the front hall, saw that the Seventh King hadn't arrived, so he rushed to find him.

"The spring scenery in this mansion is really good. After looking at it for a while, I lost my way. I don't want to find someone to lead the way." Xuansong withdrew his hand indifferently, as if nothing had happened.

"This is my younger sister, she has already made a marriage agreement, it is not appropriate to see foreign men, I hope the prince will forgive me for being rude, and I still don't pay homage to the Seventh King." The second half of the sentence was said to Shen Mingxi.

Without waiting for the other party to refuse, Shen Mingxi knelt down on both knees first and bowed down.

Xuansong's hand, which was about to decline politely, was retracted into his sleeve again, but he just looked at Shen Mingxi who was lying on the ground without getting up.

Shen Zizi didn't notice the difference between the two of them, he just cared about pleasing the person in front of him, so he invited him to the front hall for a banquet like a host.

"Brother Song is only looking at the spring scenery here, why not go to the front hall to see the blooming flowers."

"Really, very good." Xuansong politely agreed.

Hearing the sound of footsteps near his ears gradually getting further away, Shen Mingxi raised his head slightly, but the figures of the two disappeared early at the corner of the bamboo forest.

The rain from the previous days still remained on the ground, which soaked the clothes and stained a large area, but he didn't care.

It was just a slight stiffness in the knees when he got up, showing that he had been kneeling for a long time.

He got up and walked towards his boudoir, maybe he didn't come out because of it today, maybe he could lie to himself.

Ah Lv, who had brought food from the kitchen and had already returned, did not see her young lady, and wanted to go out to look for it in a hurry, only to see Shen Mingxi who had returned in a daze.

Seeing that there was a big water stain on the hem of the dress, and it was stained with gray and black soil, she didn't know what happened.

He asked worriedly: "Where did miss go? If the mistress finds out that miss is inappropriate, I'm afraid she will be punished again."

Shen Mingxi looked at Ah Lu and smiled, and said, "It's nothing, go get some hot water and wait for me to change my clothes."

"Yes." Although Ah Lu was worried, she still followed the instructions first.

Looking at the embroidery shed in front of the couch, there was a little dust on the crimson silk, even if she didn't want to, it was still going to be finished.

Although Shen Qi has never had an official position this time, the meaning is self-evident, that is to inherit Shen's father's official position.

In layman's terms, the next successor of the Shen family has been determined.

This also understood why Shen Zizi was so anxious, and couldn't wait to silence him.

PS: Your Hu Hansan is back again.

It is a bit miserable that the above article was banned, but I will not give up. I have to test repeatedly on the edge of the boat, so I, who did not give up, came with a new article.

Quietly send it out first to test the water and see how many cuties can be blasted out.
