The Jinding Hua Xie Su Li was originally a tribute, and the batch of tributes was still on the way. These were the first ones in his hand to go to Beijing.
"This is too valuable, I can't accept it."
Song Wan shook his head slightly with a determined expression.
"What's so valuable? It's just a few pears."
"Miss Song has worked hard to make plans for the prince, and she can afford a few pears."
Shen Qianyu's tone was lazy and carefree, as if these things were just ordinary objects.
"Girl, please keep it. If you don't, it will make my master unhappy."
Song Wan had no choice but to accept it.
After accepting it, she asked Heng Zhi to bring over the six apprenticeship gifts that Shen Qianyu had given previously.
"I have accepted the golden crown flower Xie Suli, but the prince's apprenticeship ceremony is the same as the apprenticeship post. No matter what, I can't accept it."
Song Wan stood up and bowed to Shen Qianyu: "If the prince really worships my daughter as his master, he will make everyone in the world laugh at him in the future, and the little girl will not be able to escape the condemnation of the world. I hope that my father-in-law will ask your highness to take back this invitation."
Seeing that Song Wan was serious, Shen Qianyu stood up and agreed.
Shen Qianyu was much taller than Song Wan, and Song Wan could only stand up to his chest. Now that the two were close, he could see the other's pink-stained ear tips from his height.
Wan Xiao's words about meeting a lover suddenly rang in his ears, and Shen Qianyu took a step back involuntarily.
"I know what the girl said, and I will report it to His Highness the Crown Prince verbatim."
Song Wan smiled softly, with gentleness in his eyes.
I don't know what happened today. Maybe it was Wan Xiao's nonsense that made him feel so uncomfortable with Song Wan.
After calming down slightly, Shen Qianyu sat back down again.
"Actually, I have one more thing to ask for today."
Song Wanrou said: "Father-in-law, please tell me."
Her tone was calm, and she spoke with the softness unique to girls. Shen Qianyu felt that Song Wan's tone was particularly soft today, which made people feel dizzy.
He coughed slightly, and his expression became more serious: "The prince knows that the girl and Concubine Yun share the same love as mother and daughter. I wonder if I can borrow something from the girl to use as a stepping stone?"
Song Wan nodded: "Of course you can."
After all, the prince is not as convenient as the concubine in walking in the harem, and there should be no spare time to install people in the palace in recent years.
Now she would bring up the idea of making friends with her aunt, which was also within her imagination.
Song Wan stood up and went into the house, and soon took out a palm-sized box.
Putting it in front of Shen Qianyu, Song Wan said, "When my aunt sees this, she will definitely trust His Highness the Crown Prince."
Shen Qianyu opened it and saw a flawless pearl lined with red velvet fabric inside the box. This bead exudes a slight radiant pink light, and you can tell at a glance that it is not ordinary.
Holding the pearl in his hand and examining it carefully, Shen Qianyu said, "This thing cannot be fake."
It is hard to find another one of such perfect appearance in the world.
Song Wan smiled and nodded: "This is a relic of my mother. Wan'er has carried it close to her since she was a child. My aunt recognizes it. No one can fake it."
Carry it close to your body...
Shen Qianyu felt as if the two fingertips holding Pearl were being burned, which was painful.
His jaw tightened and he hurriedly put the pearl back carefully.
"I'll... keep it in a safe place."
Song Wan nodded lightly: "Excuse me, father-in-law."
"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first. This pearl will be returned in full in the future."
"The father-in-law can just leave it to my aunt."
"Definitely, definitely."
I don't know what happened to Shen Qianyu, but he suddenly left in a hurry, as if something big had happened. Song Wan was a little confused and hurriedly arranged for Heng Zhi to send him away.
After the guests left, she went back to her room to take off her hair, make-up, cleanse her face and rest.
Shen Qianyu walked out of the house in a hurry. When he returned to his house, he looked at Wan Xiao with a livid face.
"Master, what's going on?"
Wan Xiao put down the wine bowl in her hand and stood up respectfully.
Although the two of them had survived and supported each other for many years, Wan Xiao knew his identity and would never go beyond the rules.
Shen Qianyu glared at him angrily and sat down.
"Pour the wine."
Wan Xiao poured wine for him with a smile, and Shen Qianyu drank it all with a solemn expression.
The pearl Song Wan had given him just now was still on his chest. It was probably due to the strong alcohol burning his throat. Shen Qianyu felt a strange warmth rising in his chest.
"What kind of wine is this?"
"Green bamboo leaves."
Shen Qianyu frowned and said nothing.
"What happened to His Highness in Miss Song's house?"
Shen Qianyu glanced at him, but still didn't speak.
After Wan Xiao drank all the wine in the pot, he slowly said: "Song Wan is very unusual today."
Wan Xiao's eyebrows suddenly became sharp: "But the Song family has a feeling of betrayal?"
"No."
Shen Qianyu frowned: "Song Wan today..."
"how?"
"The look and tone are different from the past."
A bloodthirsty smile appeared on Wan Xiao's lips: "But she wants to murder the master?"
"Not really."
"How's that?"
Shen Qianyu looked solemn: "She has a gentle smile on her face today."
When he was in Nanqing as a hostage, the Nanqing enchantress would occasionally show such coquettish behavior, mostly to seduce him and make him become her subordinate.
It's ridiculous that he disdains this at all, and would rather suffer all the torture from that witch than get any closer to her.
Wan Xiao was stunned when she heard this: "Hasn't the Song family's direct daughter always looked so gentle and elegant?"
He had met her several times in secret, and he thought the woman was soft and harmless. She had a slight smile on her face most of the time, which was very ordinary.
Shen Qianyu shook his head: "I never noticed it in the past, but I just feel that today is very different."
He lowered his eyes and said expressionlessly: "I wonder if the Song family has the idea of sending a daughter to the palace again, so this is the way..."
"Master, I have something I don't know whether to say or not."
"you say."
Wan Xiao narrowed her eyes and leaned back slightly, looking at Shen Qianyu constantly.
After a while, Wan Xiao said: "Don't Miss Song regard you as Ji Rong? As the legitimate daughter of the Song family, she was reduced to an abandoned wife of the Chengyang Marquis Mansion, so she wouldn't want to be a servant in the palace, right?" "
Shen Qianyu's expression paused and he stood up quickly: "What do you know?"
After saying that, he strode towards his yard with a dark face.
Wan Xiao frowned, wondering why the prince was so unusual today.
While he was thinking about it, Shen Qianyu came back with his eyebrows furrowed.
"Song Wan is not the abandoned wife of the Marquis of Chengyang. She and Jiang Xing are the first to marry each other."
Wan Xiao was stunned: "Is there any difference?"
"What do you know!"
Shen Qianyu said: "Although she did not accept my invitation to become a master, I respect her knowledge."
Wan Xiao saw Shen Qianyu finish saying this and leave in a hurry without looking back.
"This person...it wasn't you who said that the Song family girl was acting abnormally today. How come I don't understand?"
The two of them were bickering in the house, but they didn't know that there was a middle-aged woman near Song Wan's house who had been secretly spying for a long time. She saw a tall and powerful strange man like Shen Qianyu coming and returning in the night. , his jaw almost dropped in shock.
She pursed her lips and thought for a long time, then hurriedly got into the carriage and returned to Chengyang Marquis Mansion.
