Don't be tempted, sir

Spring is gradually sprouting, and winter is quietly retreating. The mountains and rivers are soft and beautiful, and the spring breeze blows the flowers all over the city overnight, and the sky is blue.

The carriage was driving through the mountains, and petals were blown into the window by the wind, bringing in the fragrance of flowers. Arriving at Chang'an Temple, Shen Yining knelt before the Buddha and prayed devoutly, while Xingyue waited outside.

"That lady is her! She was with Lord Song on the Lantern Festival, and she brought a child with her!"

A woman in lavender clothes looked at Shen Yining who was kneeling in front of the Buddha fiercely, "She looks like a foxy girl, could she be Lord Song's mistress?"

Shen Yining stood up and walked out of the hall. Xingyue supported her and was about to leave. A little maid came up and saluted, "Miss, Miss Pei from our Grand Tutor's Mansion wants to see you."

Being stopped, Xingyue said unhappily, "Make way! We are only here to burn incense, not to chat!"

The little maid still stood there without moving, Shen Yining said, "Lead the way!"

Then they came to a side room in the back mountain, Xingyue helped her go in, but was stopped by the little maid. Shen Yiningming walked into the courtyard alone and saw a woman dressed in purple and luxurious clothes.

Shen Yining asked coldly, "Ms. Pei?"

The woman turned around and said arrogantly, "She looks so weak, no wonder she did such a shameless thing."

Shen Yining was unhappy, "What did Miss Pei do?"

Pei Ying circled around Shen Yi and said, "Pretending to be confused? This outfit is really adorable."

Before Shen Yining could speak, Pei Ying pulled up her clothes and said, "It's green, but he likes it?"

Shen Yining didn't like this feeling very much. "I don't know what Miss Pei is talking about! If I come here to listen to your vague and incomprehensible words, I'm sorry I can't accompany you. Goodbye!"

He turned around and tried to leave but was grabbed by Pei Ying and thrown to the ground. "Take care of yourself! You'd better take that little bastard away from the capital!"

Shen Yining lay on the ground for a long time without getting up, and Pei Ying turned around and left. Xingyue ran over to help Shen Yining up, looking at her broken and bleeding hands angrily, "I'll go find her and reason with her!"

Shen Yining pulled him and said, "Forget it, I might have recognized the wrong person..."

Xing Yue stamped her feet in anger. "She can beat and scold Miss at will just because she recognized the wrong person? Miss, does it hurt?"

Shen Yining didn't say anything, Xingyue wrapped her hand with a handkerchief and asked, "Miss, can you still walk?"

"Hmm..." Then he helped her out and got into the carriage.

Shen Yining looked out the window and said calmly, "Let's go back home and pretend it never happened. Maybe it was just a misunderstanding."

Xingyue was unwilling to say, "But..."

"never mind..."

"Oh, okay..."

After returning to the mansion, Shen Yining did not leave the house for several days. One day, when he saw a gardener pruning rose branches in the yard, he suddenly remembered the words he had not heard clearly on the beacon tower that day.

Shen Yining walked over and asked the gardener, "Uncle, has the orange tree been pruned?"

Gardening stepped forward and said, "Miss, the orange tree has always been taken care of by the second young master himself. We don't know!"

"Oh ok, thanks for your help!"

Shen Yining went to the front yard and asked Mrs. Shen, "Mother, I want to go out for a while."

Mother Shen would not stop her and ask, "But where are you going to go for an outing?"

"Mother, no! I want to go to Mr. Song's house to ask a question."

Shen's mother was surprised. "Huh? What's the problem? Do you want your sister-in-law to accompany you?"

"Don't bother me, sister-in-law. I can go by myself."

"Well...Okay! I'll wait for my mother to write you a visiting card."

After writing the visiting card, Shen's mother handed it to Xingyue and told her to "take good care of Yining"

"Yes! Madam!"

When they arrived at the gate of the Song Mansion, Shen Yining was waiting in the carriage. Xingyue ran to the gate to deliver the visiting card. The gatekeeper took the visiting card to the front yard and handed it to Madam Song. "Madam, a visiting card from the Shen Mansion."

Mrs. Song was surprised. "Where are they?"

"Madam, at the door!"

Mrs. Song was happy. "Come in, please."

Mrs. Song didn't even open the visiting card. She happily walked to the courtyard and waited. Shen Yining slowly walked forward and bowed, "Greetings, Mrs. Song. Sorry to bother you."

Mrs. Song happily held Shen Yining's hand and pulled her to the front hall. "Yining! Next time you come, you don't have to be so polite and bother your mother to write a visiting card. Just come anytime you want!"

"Okay! Thank you, Mrs. Song."

"Is Yining here to look for Xiao Yuan?"

"Is Lord Song here?"

"Unfortunately, he has not yet left the court, but Yi Ning can go to his garden and wait, he should be back soon."

“This… is good!”

Mrs. Song also knew that she was afraid of embarrassing the younger generation as they were of a different generation, so after sitting in the front hall for a while, she asked the servant to take Shen Yining to the Xiaoyuan Courtyard in the backyard and let Shen Yining treat her as her own. After all, they were familiar with each other and there was no need to be polite!

Shen Yining went to the garden and the servant said goodbye. There were few servants in Song Xiaoyuan's garden. Shen Yining didn't dare to rush into his room, so he waited in the garden. The plum blossom had fallen, but the apricot blossom was in full bloom, and the apricot blossom was more fragile! The spring breeze was blowing everywhere these days. Xingyue couldn't stand the spring breeze, so she asked Shen Yining if they should find a place to wait! The spring breeze was blowing too much and it gave me a headache.

Shen Yining didn't know where to go, so she just walked to the rockery by the pond to get a little shelter from the wind. Madam Song sent someone to deliver tea, but the servants who brought food and tea called for a long time in the garden but no one came.

Song Xiaoyuan went to the study as soon as he came back. The two little kitchen girls timidly went to Awu at the door to explain the situation. Awu went into the study and told Song Xiaoyuan the situation.

"Hmm? Miss Shen is in my garden?"

"The girl at the door said she's been here for a long time but can't find where you are now."

Song Xiaoyuan left the study and went to his bedroom, but he was not there. He then went to the pavilion, but he was still not there.

The wind was unusually strong today. Seeing the rockery by the pool, Song Xiaoyuan approached and tentatively called out, "Miss Shen?"

Shen Yining heard someone calling him to come out of the rockery. Song Xiaoyuan, who was standing by the pool, was caught off guard and was knocked into the pool by Shen Yining.

Xingyue ran out to call for help. Shen Yining hurriedly reached out to pull Song Xiaoyuan out of the pool. "Sir Song, give me your hand! I'm so sorry!"

Song Xiaoyuan choked on the water in the pool and straightened himself up, calling Shen Yining urgently, "Don't stay by the pool, it's dangerous, go to the side."

"Give me your hand, Master Song!"

Song Xiaoyuan paddled, "I can get up, you go to the side and don't reach into the water!"

Shen Yining could only obey and say, "Okay! I'm sorry, Lord Song," and stood aside.

Song Xiaoyuan climbed up the bank along the artificial rocks in the pool. His black wide-sleeved robe was dripping with water and stuck to his body, making him look very disheveled. A strong wind blew and the apricot petals also stuck to his body. Suddenly, he felt very cold and sneezed.

Shen Yining apologized in shame, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Sir Song"

"It's okay! Come in! It's windy outside."

Then Xingyue and Awu followed happily behind. Shen Yining asked Awu to boil water for a bath, and Xingyue volunteered to go along.

After Song Xiaoyuan entered the house and went to take a bath, Shen Yining went to get clean clothes naturally. He said guiltily through his cloak, "Sir Song, I left my clothes on the screen. I'm so sorry for today!"

A gentle voice came from the other end, "Thank you, no need to blame yourself. It's better not to go to such dangerous places in the future!"

"it is good!"

Song Xiaoyuan was gone when he came out. There was a bowl of hot water on the table with a note on it: "The wound on your back is still healing, so you can't drink ginger soup! I'm really sorry for today!"
