A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Soon, everyone moved to the edge of the pond, and the girls who followed the prince found another room to rest.

Song Hongshen glanced at the prince, then gave Su Yuanzhou a look that showed understanding.

Today, the two of them seemed to be here to watch a play.

Several people sat down with the prince to fish, and they talked casually. Shen Zhixiu even felt a little comfortable, as it was a rare opportunity for him to have some free time.

Among all the people present, only Rong Yi was extremely alert and cautious, as if he didn't dare to offend anyone.

The prince was absent-minded, waiting for the assassin to kill him.

Although the prince tried his best to conceal it, the people present were all shrewd people. How could they not see that he was different? It was just that no one pointed it out.

After a while, an arrow flew over across the sky.

Song Hongshen and Su Yuanzhou were both martial artists and noticed it at the first moment.

The two of them even instantly determined where the arrow would fall.

Song Hongshen quickly glanced at the prince's expression. The arrow was clearly approaching, but not only was the prince not panicked at all, but he seemed relieved that it was natural.

He grinned, drew the knife from his waist and threw it towards the arrow.

The arrow that was supposed to hit the prince three meters away was forced to change its direction and strength, and shot directly at the prince's head.

Today, the prince wore a purple gold crown with a hollow design on the front.

The arrow went straight through the prince's purple-gold crown and pierced his head.

The prince had never seen such a scene before, and his face turned pale with fear. This was the closest he had ever been to death since he was a child.

At this time, the guards of the East Palace had all knelt down to plead guilty, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I deserve to die."

The prince knew that Song Hongshen had done it on purpose. If Song Hongshen hadn't stabbed him with his sword, the arrow wouldn't have landed on his head.

Just as he was about to explode, he heard Su Yuanzhou say, "You are too careless in your work. Elder Shen's manor doesn't have many guards. When you follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out, you should always put His Royal Highness's safety first."

"If it weren't for the King of Loyalty and Bravery's decisive action today, I don't think even ten of your heads would be enough to chop off."

Song Hongshen straightened his back and listened to Su Yuanzhou's flattery with enjoyment.

The two are brothers who have been through thick and thin together, and they know how to cooperate with each other with just a glance.

The prince's lips twitched, and the words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat.

How come Song Hongshen was considered to have been credited with saving the emperor? Did he have to submit a memorial to ask for credit for him?

Just as I thought of this, I heard Shen Zhixiu say, "Today, thanks to His Royal Highness the Loyal and Brave King, tomorrow I will report to the Emperor and ask for credit for His Royal Highness the Loyal and Brave King."

The prince felt as if something was blocking his chest, and he felt extremely depressed.

But business was more important, so he immediately said angrily: "Who is so bold as to assassinate me?"

Then he looked at Shen Zhixiu suspiciously, "Sir Shen, I was almost assassinated on your farm. Sir Shen, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

But before Shen Zhixiu could speak, Su Yuanzhou spoke first, "Your Highness, as I just said, Elder Shen's manor doesn't have many guards."

"Your Highness, it is really unreasonable for you to ask Elder Shen to give an explanation."

The prince did not intend to hold Shen Zhixiu responsible, and continued, "No matter what, this assassin must be caught."

Then he turned around and told his guard leader Yan Da, "Take your men and search the manor first to see if there are any suspicious people. If not, search the area around the manor and make sure to find the person who tried to assassinate me."

Su Yuanzhou glanced at Shen Zhixiu, and Shen Zhixiu gave him a comforting look.

Su Yuanzhou understood what he meant, and without saying anything, he picked up the fishing rod again. He wanted to compete with Song Hongshen in fishing, and the two even agreed on a prize.

The prince was suspicious. Could it be that the person was not at the manor? He thought that as soon as he mentioned the search, Shen Zhixiu would obstruct him in every possible way.

But looking at the expressions of Shen Zhixiu, Su Yuanzhou and Song Hongshen, it seemed that they did not take this search seriously at all.

Yan Da bowed and accepted the order, then took his men to search.

The few of them continued fishing while waiting for Yan Da's search results.

About half an hour later, Yan Da finally came back with his guards.

"In reply to your Highness, I have searched the entire manor and found no suspicious persons."

The prince raised his eyelids slightly, "Have you checked everything?"

Yan Da hesitated and said, "Only the main courtyard has not been searched yet. The servant said that Madam Shen San and the two young ladies of the Su family are there, so it is not convenient for the guards to go in."

The prince looked at Yan Da coldly, "Didn't I tell you? Everywhere must be searched."

Shen Zhixiu, who was fishing nearby, suddenly threw the fishing rod aside and asked, "Your Highness, are you suspicious of the women of the Shen family?"

Seeing this, Song Hongshen and Su Yuanzhou also threw their fishing rods to the ground.

"Your Highness is suspicious of my unmarried princess?"

"Your Highness suspects my Su family's daughter?"

Shen Zhixiu's face was relatively calm, but a closer look revealed the coldness in his eyes. Su Yuanzhou and Song Hongshen both had cold expressions as they stared at the prince.

The prince had never been forced to this point before, but he didn't want to fall out with these people today.

He also didn't believe that the Shen family would let a man hide in the courtyard of the women.

"Master Shen has misunderstood. This is not what I meant. I was not thoughtful enough." Then he turned around and instructed Yan Da, "Since you can't find it in the manor, go check nearby."

Yan Da took the order and withdrew, while Shen Zhixiu and others continued to talk to the prince.

In a blink of an eye, it was noon. Seeing that the prince had no intention of leaving, Shen Zhixiu ordered people to prepare wine and food and invited His Royal Highness the Prince to have dinner in the flower hall.

Since the prince arrived here today, nothing has gone smoothly, and he has been holding his breath. So after he sat down in the flower hall, he ordered the girls to come in and drink with him.

On the one hand, he wanted to relieve his depression, and on the other hand, he wanted to use alcohol and women to get closer to a few people.

He even thought that if Shen Zhixiu could give in to him and help him take the position, he would be willing to let bygones be bygones.

He was just like that, he seemed to only care about the immediate gains and losses. Just like today, he wanted to make peace when he didn't get any advantage. Also, he hated Shen Zhixiu because he went to the Su family to propose marriage, and he didn't consider the consequences of this matter at all.

After the four girls came in, the prince introduced them, "These girls were trained by me. They have never served anyone before. Today, I will let them pour wine for Lord Shen and the two princes to relieve their boredom."

Having said that, he motioned for the four girls to go and drink with them.

These four people have been carefully trained and have learned how to serve others, especially those who are in high positions. They know exactly how to serve them.

None of them came forward to flirt with others or act seductively.

He walked forward and bowed properly, then knelt aside to pour wine for the few people, without any infraction of the rules.

But Shen Zhixiu still stopped the girl from coming forward and said, "Your Highness knows that I am henpecked. My wife is still recovering at the farm, and I dare not drink wine."

When it comes to being henpecked, Lord Shen has always been open and honest, never hiding anything.

Su Yuanzhou took over the conversation and said to the prince: "I am also henpecked. My wife is still in mourning, so it is even more unsuitable for me to drink this wine."

While he was talking, he directly ordered someone to take the wine jug away, and it turned out that he didn't even want to drink the wine.

Song Hong thought for a moment, then said coldly, "I finally got married, but the princess hasn't married yet. I can't drink wine under her nose."

"My princess is still young, and I'm afraid I'll scare her if I drink too much."

Wen Zhu, who was guarding the door, looked up at the sky and tried to hold back his laughter, thinking that the two princes were both students of the Third Master, and that the Third Master's fear of his wife was a common trait.
