Reborn Princess

Shen Lilan paused and immediately struggled to get down.

"Madam..." Zhou Cechen's voice was hoarse.

"do not move."

After hearing his voice, Shen Yanlan didn't dare to move.

"Madam, you're going to put out the fire yourself?"

Shen Xilan's eyelashes trembled. After Zhou Cechen said this, she really didn't dare to move.

"you……"

"Is it over?" Zhou Cechen asked her.

Shen Yanlan didn't understand for a moment: "What?"

"Menstruation." He stared at Shen Lilan.

Shen Lilan didn't dare to look into Zhou Cechen's eyes again. She lowered her head. Zhou Cechen was not in a hurry. He held Shen Lilan's waist with one hand and stared at the person sitting on him.

After a long silence, Shen Yanlan finally nodded.

Zhou Cechen reached out to stroke her face and tucked her scattered hair behind her ears.

Zhou Cechen raised his lips slightly, hugged Shen Lilan, and let her lie on him. His hands wandered on her back, causing her to shudder.

Zhou Cechen kissed Shen Lilan's red lips, and his hand moved down.

……

The next day, sunlight streamed into the room. Shen Xilan opened her eyes. She wanted to turn over, but found that something was hard underneath her. She woke up immediately.

After waking up, Shen Xilan looked at her hands that were supporting Zhou Cechen's chest, and her ears turned red.

She actually slept on him all night.

Seeing that Zhou Cechen still had his eyes closed, Shen Lilan immediately moved his hand away and tried to get up.

"woke up?"

A hoarse voice was heard, and Shen Lilan was startled again. It was not good for her to take her hand away, nor was it good to put it on Zhou Cechen.

Zhou Cechen protected her waist with one hand and pressed her towards him again.

"Your Majesty..."

"Do not move."

Shen Lilan blushed: "Why are you..."

"With a beautiful woman in my arms, how can I not be moved?" Zhou Cechen said.

"It's daytime now." Shen Lilan struggled to get up again.

"Little ancestor, be good, I won't touch you." Zhou Cechen really couldn't stand Shen Lilan's unconscious nagging.

Shen Xilan felt really embarrassed when she heard Zhou Cechen address her, but she knew how upset he was so she just stayed there obediently and didn't move.

After a while, Zhou Cechen calmed down. He picked up Shen Lilan and put him on the bed.

"Don't want to sleep a little longer?" he asked.

Shen Yanlan shook his head: "Your Majesty will not go to the county government today."

Zhou Cechen: "I'll go later. I'll have breakfast with you today."

Shen Lilan's eyes lit up after hearing Zhou Cechen's words.

She stood up immediately, and only after she sat up did she realize that Zhou Cechen had put his own large pajamas on her last night.

"I'll help the princess change her clothes." Zhou Cechen stood up and said.

Among the many clothes, Shen Lilan picked a light blue skirt and paired it with a lake blue wide-sleeved shirt.

Zhou Cechen patiently helped her put on each piece of clothing, while Shen Lilan enjoyed his service.

Zhou Cechen also held Shen Lilan's hand when going downstairs.

Birui and Lunong followed behind the two of them, smiling.

"The prince treats the princess very well."

"That's right. This favor is unique to our princess."

Sitting on a chair, Shen Lilan looked at the food on the table while the waiter introduced each dish to him.

Sanding buns, jade siu mai, thousand-layer oil cake, crab roe soup dumplings...

Zhou Cechen put a crab soup dumpling into Shen Lilan's bowl. Shen Lilan took a bite and the soup spilled out.

"how?"

Shen Lilan nodded: "It tastes delicious. It can really be called delicious."

Zhou Cechen put the cakes into Shen Lilan's bowl one by one. Shen Lilan took bites of them one by one, feeling very satisfied.

"After dinner, I will go to the county government office. If you are bored, you can go for a boat ride. The water scenery in Yangzhou is truly unique."

Shen Yanlan nodded: "Is Your Majesty coming back for dinner?"

Zhou Cechen shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't catch up."

"Then your Majesty, remember to eat and don't overwork yourself."

"it is good."

……

Even when Shen Lilan was on the boat, the scenes of last night with Zhou Cechen were still in his mind.

"My lady, this Slender West Lake is a famous lakeside garden in Yangzhou. It can be said that there are flowers and willows on both banks, and pavilions all the way to the mountains."

Tang Song introduced the characteristics of Slender West Lake to Shen Xilan.

"Today we will visit the Five Pavilion Bridge, the Twenty-Four Bridges, the White Pagoda Temple and other places."

Shen Lilan looked at the emerald green lake water. The surface of the water was calm, but ripples appeared when the wind blew.

It can be described as too beautiful to behold.

There were many boats sailing around, most of which were used by wealthy families for travel.

Half an hour later, the sound of a pipa was heard from the water.

Shen Xilan became interested when she heard the voice. She stood up and walked out. She saw a woman with a veil on her face and a light red dress sitting on the boat, plucking the strings of a musical instrument.

At this time, all the other large ships on the lake gathered around.

The sound of the pipa is crisp and mellow, like large and small pearls falling on a jade plate, staggered and beautiful. She plucked the strings gently, like a clear spring gurgling among the rocks, crisp and pleasant.

After the song ended, everyone on the surrounding boats applauded.

"It's like hearing heavenly music and your ears are temporarily ringing." said a young man.

"I wonder if I might have the honor to invite you aboard our master's boat to chat for another minute," said the servant next to him.

At this time, the maid behind the girl said, "Our girl Hua Lian will only play one song in Slender West Lake today. If you guys want to listen, you need to pay extra to invite our girl to play on the boat."

As soon as these words were spoken, discussions arose all around.

Shen Xilan's heart was filled with turmoil when he heard the name. Hua Lian, isn't this the skinny horse that Fu Zhen told him about yesterday and whose name Yang Zhen had written down?

"Three hundred taels as a starting point."

At this time, the other boats raised the price one after another: "Three hundred and fifty taels."

"Four hundred taels."

"Four hundred and twenty taels."

"Five hundred taels."

……

The price kept rising to seven hundred taels, and no one raised the price anymore. Shen Lilan observed the people on the other boats.

She said, "Eight hundred taels."

A female voice was heard among the voices of men.

Everyone looked sideways.

Shen Xilan stood on the deck wearing a hat, and no one could look at her face.

Hua Lian finally got on Shen Lilan's boat holding the pipa.

After getting on the boat, Shen Yanlan sat on a chair wearing a hat and watched the man coming slowly.

"I wonder what song the girl would like to listen to?" she asked.

Shen Lilan glanced at the maid behind her and said, "I don't like crowds when I listen to music, so your maid can only stay outside."

The maid behind her frowned.

Hua Lian held the pipa and looked at the man in the hood. After a while, she said to the maid behind her, "You go out first."

"girl."

"Nothing, I'll just play a piece of pipa, nothing will happen."

The maid had no choice but to leave.

After the maid left, Hua Lian continued to ask, "What song do you want to listen to, young lady?"

Shen Lilan looked at her and said, "I don't know how to play the pipa, does Miss Lian have any skills?"

Hua Lian thought for a moment and said, "How about "Spring River Moon Night"?

Shen Lilan stared at the person in front of him but said nothing.
