Shen Qianyu was a little surprised at Song Wan's keenness.
He wandered around the East Palace as Ji Rong and was never seen through by anyone. The palace was accustomed to being looked down upon and flattered, and no one had ever carefully looked at a low-level eunuch who didn't know whether he would live through tomorrow.
Moreover, he was also covered up when he was in the East Palace. It was really surprising to him that Song Wan recognized him under the moonlight today.
Shen Qianyu quickly thought over the current situation between Dong Gong and the third and fifth princes in his mind, and guessed that at least Song Wan of the Song family would not have any ill intentions towards Dong Gong now.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before nodding and accepting Ji Rong's identity.
Seeing that he agreed, Song Wan couldn't believe it.
She had never met many men. Although Ji Rong was just a chamberlain and not a serious man, the impression on her was profound enough.
I just asked casually, but I actually confirmed that the Prince of the East Palace was not an incompetent paralysis.
Shen Qianyu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and smile when he saw Song Wan's round eyes slightly opened and he breathed a sigh of relief.
The bet turned out to be right.
The Song family really wanted to contact him, but they didn't know whether it was Song Fu's intention or Song Lan'an's intention.
Shen Qianyu sat on the ground and was not in a hurry to leave.
Both Song Fu and Song Lan'an are a great help to him who is alone in his family.
"Hold him up and take him to the side room. Aunt Lang, could you please help me get some medicine to stop the bleeding for this father-in-law."
"Hey, I know this."
Hearing that it was her father-in-law, Mrs. Lang relaxed and went to the small warehouse to look for medicine.
Heng Zhi Heng Wu also stood aside, no longer blocking Song Wan's figure.
The palace chamberlain can't ruin the reputation of her young lady, so there's no need to be so nervous.
Looking at Shen Qianyu's short and fancy brocade robe, Heng Wu nodded secretly. It was indeed the color that the father-in-laws in the palace liked.
She remembered that they liked things that were eye-catching, rich, but rather tacky.
Heng Wu glanced over Shen Qianyu's head and was a little disappointed to see that he was not wearing a woman's gold hairpin.
Seeing the thoughts of several women clearly, Shen Qianyu sat on the ground, pressed his wounds and laughed.
"Hey, father-in-law, why are you injured so badly? No, I have to find a doctor for you..."
"No need to bother, just give me some medicine."
Taking the hemostatic medicine from Mrs. Lang's hand, Shen Qianyu poured the entire powder in the white porcelain bottle onto his wound. Song Wan looked uncomfortable and turned his face slightly to avoid looking.
Seeing her standing at the door of the wing, Shen Qianyu said: "Cheng..."
"My father-in-law, just call me Song Wan."
After pretending to be a eunuch for a long time, Shen Qianyu didn't realize anything was wrong, so he called Shanruliu "Miss Song".
Song Wan nodded, and Granny Lang came in with a copper basin. After putting down the hot water, she said, "My father-in-law, you can use this to wash yourself." After that, she went to the kitchen to prepare meals.
"My father-in-law is going to rest today, and Song Wan won't disturb you."
That sentence "today" let Shen Qianyu know that this person had something to say to him. However, due to etiquette, it was difficult to talk to others without hurting others, so he was allowed to rest first.
Shen Qianyu secretly thought that Song Wan really came from a wealthy family, behaved politely, and never went beyond the rules.
It's strange that Jiang Yan didn't dare to reveal his feelings at all, for fear that this old-fashioned lady would be ashamed and angry to death if she knew of his love.
Scanning Song Wan's eyes, Shen Qianyu nodded in agreement.
He also wanted to know what the Song family planned.
The two of them had their own plans in mind, and they didn't sleep peacefully that night.
Early the next morning, Shen Qianyu woke up and was mostly healed of his injuries. If it weren't for his gifted physique, he might have died countless times over the years.
After changing into the coarse clothes Mrs. Lang had prepared for him yesterday, Shen Qianyu walked out of the wing.
There was only two entrances to this house, so as soon as he came out, he saw Song Wan wearing a lotus green brocade skirt and a silver gauze cover, holding a book and studying it carefully in the room.
She looks good and has a pretty smart brain, so she's not annoying to look at.
"Is your father-in-law feeling better from his injury?"
"It's better, thank you for your concern, miss."
Seeing Shen Qianyu appear, Song Wan put down his book and walked to the courtyard. After learning that he had had breakfast, he asked Heng Zhi to make tea and invited him to chat in the courtyard.
"My father-in-law must have had some plans when he stayed here yesterday. I wonder if Wan'er can ask me a few questions?"
It was unusual for the eunuch of the East Palace to appear in his courtyard. How could Song Wan believe that this was a coincidence? She thought about it for a long time yesterday and guessed that the prince also wanted to join forces with the Song family, but Song Wan didn't know the purpose of the bag of crispy candy he brought.
After making tea, Heng Zhi brought refreshments on a square carved lacquer tray, which contained the Liu Ji crisp candy that Shen Qianyu had sent yesterday.
Shen Qianyu knew that she was testing him, so he said, "I wonder if Miss Song is talking to me today. Does she represent the Song family or Song Fu?"
"The little girl has a low status and cannot represent the Song family."
Shen Qianyu nodded, secretly thinking that it would be nice to have Song Fu, but he didn't want to pick one.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Song Wan glanced at the candy on the table and guessed that Dong Gongji had contacted his brother, otherwise Ji Rong wouldn't have come here to look for him.
only……
Song Wan said: "This crisp candy is a famous snack in Shangjing. I wonder if my father-in-law knows that the prince has been in Nanqing for many years and likes this kind of food?"
Shen Qianyu raised his eyebrows, with a trace of amusement in his eyes.
There is something interesting about this Song Dynasty. It seems like he is asking this child about snacks, but in fact he is asking whether he has studied in Nanqing for many years, and he is also asking him what he thinks about going to Beijing.
Shen Qianyu frowned slightly and thought about this question carefully.
He was sent to Nanqing as a hostage since he was a child. He was very unfamiliar with everything in Shangjing, and he didn't know any famous snacks in Shangjing. But one thing he could tell Song Wan was that although he hated Emperor Wenhui, he had no respect for Shangjing. He felt a great sense of belonging, but he hated Nan Qing even more than he did here.
Shen Qianyu smiled lightly: "If there is anyone who hates Nan Qing the most in the world, it must be the prince."
Song Wan nodded slowly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing her like this, Shen Qianyu smiled faintly.
Unexpectedly, a woman like Song Wan actually cared about her family and her country, and she had some ambitions to rejuvenate the country. She was much better than Qian Chao and other people who had nothing but food in their wine bags and rice bags.
"Since the prince hates Nanqing so much, he must have suffered a lot of inhuman torture in Nanqing."
Shen Qianyu glanced at his exposed hands subconsciously, and then looked away indifferently.
How could she know that the torture he suffered in his own country was no less than that of Nan Qing.
It's just that Shen Qianyu has never been a person who likes to dwell on the past. He fights for that chair to survive. If he can earn more, he is destined to be rich, but if he cannot earn more, he has a bad fate and deserves to be bullied for the rest of his life.
Raising his hand to fill the teacup in front of him, Shen Qianyu raised his head and drank it all gracefully.
Seeing his wild behavior, Song Wan suddenly felt that it was a bit inconsistent, as if this action should not be done by a eunuch who had been teased and ordered around in the inner palace all year round.
