Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

Chapter 239 Making Friends

Shen Ruoxi thought for a while and said.

"So you are telling me this today because you want me to talk to my elder brother about it and let him reject it?"

"clever."

Murong Minghua looked at Shen Ruoxi, revealing two shallow pimples: "Ruoxi, can you help with this matter?"

"Of course, I will leave the East Palace today. I just have something to do when I go out."

Shen Ruoxi agreed.

Seeing Shen Ruoxi agreeing, Murong Minghua was relieved and turned around to leave without staying any longer.

When she left, she smiled mysteriously at Shen Ruoxi.

"This is not just to help me, but also for the happiness of your eldest brother and second brother. I'm waiting for your good news."

Shen Ruoxi was a little confused.

This matter is indeed related to the happiness of the eldest brother, but what does it have to do with the second brother?

……

As the Crown Princess, Shen Ruoxi was not allowed to leave the palace at will according to the rules.

But Murong Heng gave her the right to come and go freely. After meeting Murong Minghua, she directly had someone prepare a carriage and wanted to leave the palace.

Just as he was about to get on the carriage, he saw Wei Tingshan trotting over quickly.

"Princess!"

Shen Ruoxi turned her head: "Eunuch Wei."

"Didn't the Crown Princess just come back today? Where are she going now?"

"I have to go see my elder brother for something. I'll be back in a moment."

"Can I go back to the East Palace today?"

"Yes." Shen Ruoxi thought for a while and said, "The prince is not in good health and cannot have stagnation of anger. Go and give him a cup of white chrysanthemum tea."

"Yes, I know."

Wei Tingshan quickly nodded with a smile.

After watching Shen Ruoxi leave, Wei Tingshan took tea and went straight to the study room in the East Palace.

At the door of the study, Leng Ye and Xiao Yuzi were standing guard outside with grimaces.

Seeing Wei Tingshan coming, the two of them immediately stretched out their hands to stop him.

"Eunuch Wei, why are you here? The prince is in a bad mood right now. We were kicked out just after we entered. It's better for you not to get into trouble now."

Wei Tingshan looked at the two of them with a smile.

"You are still too young. I have watched the prince grow up since he was a child. I understand his thoughts."

With that said, he pushed the two of them away and walked in with the tea.

In the study room, Murong Heng was sitting on the Taishi chair with a casual attitude, holding a book in his hand and looking at it absently.

There was a cold look on Zanli's noble face, and even if she didn't speak, she still had some innate dignity.

Hearing the movement, he glanced over, saw it was Wei Tingshan, and turned his eyes again.

Suddenly he spoke.

"gone?"

It was a sentence without beginning or end, but Wei Tingshan understood it instantly.

"Back to Your Highness, the Crown Princess is away from the palace on business, but she said she will be back today."

Hearing this, Murong Heng's eyes narrowed and showed no expression.

Wei Tingshan served the tea.

"Your Highness, don't be tired and have a sip of tea."

Murong Heng was displeased: "In such a cold weather, you let me drink white chrysanthemum tea?"

"Your Highness, this is what the Crown Princess ordered when she left. She said that if you are weak and have stagnation of liver fire, drink this to dispel the fire."

Murong Heng responded lightly.

"Well, let's go out."

Although his tone was still cold, the moment Wei Tingshan turned around, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

*

The New Year is approaching, and the capital is busier than usual.

Shen Ruoxi sat in the carriage and arrived at Shen Yue's house, but was told by the housekeeper that Shen Yue had gone to Tingyaxuan to meet guests.

The butler is respectful.

"I don't know when the young general will be back. How about the princess come in and wait?"

"No need, I'll go find him myself."

Shen Ruoxi replied, and then asked one more question: "How is Han Shulian?"

"Back to the Crown Princess, Miss Han is resting in her room. The doctor prescribed her a tonic yesterday. She will drink it and rest now."

"Ah."

Shen Ruoxi lowered the car curtain.

Thinking of Han Shulian's taciturn and melancholy appearance yesterday, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Brother, what exactly is this game about?

Listening to Yaxuan being some distance away from Shen Yue's mansion, it was already half an hour later when Shen Ruoxi arrived.

Shen Yue was walking out with an older man.

The two stood at the door and said some words before saying goodbye to each other.

After the other party left, Shen Ruoxi got off the carriage and walked over.

Shen Yue was a little surprised when he saw her.

"Ruoxi, why did you leave the palace again?"

He frowned slightly, worried: "You were so frightened yesterday, why didn't you take a good rest?"

"I'm not frightened. My father has given full authority over Murong Yu's matter to Dali Temple. Dali Temple belongs to Ah Heng, so I don't have anything to worry about anymore. Ah Heng has also sent extra manpower for my daily travels."

Shen Ruoxi asked casually: "Brother, the person you just talked to looks familiar. Who is he?"

"Hou Jiang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry."

Shen Yue's cold eyes narrowed.

Although he made a great contribution by stationing at the border and repelling the Canglan Kingdom, he has no foundation in the capital. Now that he has stepped down from military power and returned to the court, he naturally wants to stabilize his status and power.

If Hou Jiang wanted to make friends, he would naturally not refuse.

Hou Jiang took the initiative to bring the two of them over today, and expressed that his legitimate daughter Hou Qian admired Shen Yue very much.

The meaning is very clear.

Shen Yue thought about it carefully.

The Minister of Industry has great power and great benefits, and he is neutral in the court.

Hou Qian is a noble daughter raised by a deep boudoir. She has seen both sides. She is courteous and obedient, so she is indeed suitable to be a mistress.

"Big brother."

Shen Ruoxi spoke, bringing Shen Yue back from his thoughts.

He raised his eyes slightly: "What's wrong?"

"I have something to tell you. Go to the private room."

Shen Ruoxi walked into Tingyaxuan first, and Shen Yue followed suit.

When they arrived at the private room, Shen Ruoxi held the tea cup and relayed the events in the palace to Shen Yue.

After listening, Shen Yue frowned deeply.

"This is inappropriate."

"Eldest brother doesn't want to marry the eldest princess and Minghua either?"

"Ah."

Shen Yue looked unhappy.

Princess status is a bit restrictive for him. He likes to be the one in control and doesn't want to be controlled.

And he really didn't like Murong Mingyu.

Shen Ruoxi said: "If my father intends to grant you a marriage, he will definitely inform you in advance and will not make a hasty decree. Brother, you have to think of your words in advance."

"I see."

Shen Yue held the porcelain cup, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

In fact, at the reception banquet, Emperor Renjing mentioned that he had made great contributions to the country and would agree to his request.

It seemed that it was time for him to make a request.

After the two negotiated, they saw Qiong Yu hurried over, saying that the emperor's order came from the palace and wanted to see Shen Yue.

Shen Ruoxi chuckled.

"Whatever you say, it seems that your father is very anxious." She turned around and said, "Brother, it's just right, let's enter the palace together."
