Reborn Princess

After Lu Hanze came out, he greeted Shen Lilan: "Hello, sister-in-law!"

Shen Lilan smiled and nodded to Lu Hanze.

"Will we all stay here in Yangzhou from now on?" Shen Lilan looked at Zhou Cechen.

Zhou Cechen nodded, "This is the house we bought two years ago from a businessman. Yang Zhen's spies are everywhere in Yangzhou City, so we'd better be careful."

"Let's go in and take a look." Zhou Cechen took Shen Lilan's hand and walked inside.

Walking up the steps, Shen Lilan looked at the beautiful peach blossoms planted on both sides.

As soon as he entered the front hall, Shen Lilan saw a group of servants preparing various meats and stringing them together.

Shen Lilan suddenly thought of the barbecue his father brought him when he was in Mobei.

"This is..." Shen Lilan asked as he looked at the busy people.

"I asked my servants to buy a sheep at the market today. I'm waiting for you to come back and let you taste my cooking skills." Lu Hanze said excitedly.

Shen Lilan looked at Lu Hanze with a smile: "Young Marquis Lu, thank you for your concern."

"Of course I am worried about you two." Lu Hanze blew his nose with his folding fan.

Zhou Cechen glanced at him and Lu Hanze immediately quieted down.

"How about having a barbecue in the yard tonight?" Zhou Cechen asked Shen Lilan.

Shen Lilan nodded. She glanced at Lu Hanze and then pulled Zhou Cechen aside: "Which dormitory is it?" Shen Lilan asked in a low voice.

Seeing that the two of them had something to whisper, Lu Hanze shook his head and went out with the fan.

Zhou Cechen took Shen Lilan's hand and said, "I'll take you there."

"Your Highness, I want to take a bath." Shen Xilan said in a low voice. She had been in the dungeon for several days and had not touched water for several days. She really couldn't stand the smell on her body.

Zhou Cechen: "It has already been prepared. I will take you there."

Zhou Cechen took Shen Xilan through the back garden and led her directly up the mountain.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Shen Lilan thought he was going to the bedroom, but looking at this road, he felt something was wrong.

"There are hot springs on the mountain." Zhou Cechen explained to her.

"There is actually a hot spring." Shen Lilan said.

Zhou Cechen: "That's why I bought this house."

As they walked, Shen Yanlan said to Zhou Cechen, "Did the prince know about the deal between me and Mr. Zhang?"

Zhou Cechen nodded: "I didn't mean to monitor you, I was just worried about your safety."

Shen Lilan looked at Zhou Cechen: "I know."

"So when you told me that you wanted to go to Xiuchunlou with me, it was also your plan?"

"Yes."

Shen Lilan sighed inwardly, he was indeed Zhou Cechen.

"But when you were trapped in Xiuchun Tower and they wanted to kill you, what would you have done if you were really injured?"

"Or do you have people in Xiuchunlou?" Shen Lilan suddenly had this guess.

"I won't take you into danger." Zhou Cechen said.

"I was wondering why you agreed to let me go to Xiuchunlou so readily." Shen Xilan stammered.

Although the voice was low, Zhou Ce heard it clearly. He said softly, "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing? If it weren't for you, I would have died in there alone." Shen Lilan said.

Zhou Cechen covered Shen Lilan's mouth: "Fu Fu said that he would live a hundred years."

Shen Yanlan was startled, her eyelashes trembled slightly and then she nodded, "Yes."

The two of them stayed in the hot spring for an hour and a half. It was almost dark when they returned to the yard. Lu Hanze was sitting alone in front of the fire, fanning himself.

He saw Zhou Cechen walking over with Shen Lilan in his arms. He looked at them meaningfully and said, "They came out after dark. It's really different when a couple is together."

Zhou Cechen didn't care what he said and took Shen Lilan to sit on a small chair nearby.

"Prince, Princess." A voice came. Shen Lilan turned around and saw Yanci standing at the gate of the yard, with Fu Zhen standing next to him.

"Come in quickly." Lu Hanze said loudly to the two of them.

Fu Zhen followed Yanci in and bowed to the people, "I pay my respects to Prince Ding'an, Princess Ding'an, and Young Marquis Lu."

"Don't be shy. Since you are a man of words, just come with us." Lu Hanze said as he applied oil on the barbecue.

"Please sit down." Shen Lilan said to Fu Zhen.

Fu Zhen nodded and then sat next to Shen Lilan.

Lu Nong came over with a few small jars of wine: "My Lord, Princess, this is peach blossom wine."

Zhou Cechen said to Shen Lilan: "This is the wine made from the peach blossoms in front of the yard."

After hearing what Zhou Cechen said, Shen Lilan reached out to take a jar of wine, but Zhou Cechen grabbed her wrist. After taking the jar of wine that Shen Lilan wanted to take, Zhou Cechen said to Shen Lilan, "I'm afraid Madam can't drink too much."

Shen Yanlan could only blink her watery eyes and look at Zhou Cechen: "Just drink a little."

Zhou Cechen poured a glass of wine for Shen Yanlan: "Only this glass, don't drink more."

Lu Hanze said loudly at this time: “I said Jinzhi, you are here, your princess is drunk and has nothing to do.”

Zhou Cechen naturally knew that there was nothing to worry about, but he had his own selfish motives. He didn't want others to see Shen Lilan drunk.

"Stop talking too much." Zhou Cechen replied with two words.

Lu Hanze shook his head helplessly, "You really don't know how to appreciate kindness."

Fu Zhen chuckled after hearing what Lu Hanze said, and Lu Hanze shifted his gaze to Yanci and Fu Zhen.

When Fu Zhen noticed Lu Hanze looking at her, she stopped smiling.

"Miss, have you known our Young Master Yan before?" Lu Hanze put a handful of barbecue on a plate and placed it in the middle of the table.

After hearing what Lu Hanze said, Fu Zhen glanced at Yanci. Yanci's expression was cold and serious, as if he was not affected by what Lu Hanze said.

"I've met a few times."

Lu Hanze also glanced at Yanci and saw that he still looked calm, so he raised his voice: "Only met a few times?"

"She is not deaf." Yanci placed a skewer of barbecue in front of Fu Zhen and stated this fact to Lu Hanze without waiting for her to react.

Lu Hanze cleared his throat. "You guys all have company, but I'm all alone. I'm grilling meat for you all by myself, and yet you still talk to me like this. You really made a mistake."

Fu Zhen paused while eating the barbecue, she suppressed the throbbing in her heart and regained her calm.

Yanci poured Fu Zhen a cup of tea: "It will help you feel better."

Shen Xilan saw the interaction between the two very clearly. She turned around and wanted to talk to Zhou Cechen but saw Zhou Cechen staring at her.

"Your Majesty."

"Do you like it?" Zhou Cechen asked her in a low voice.

Shen Lilan had a piece of meat in her mouth, and there was oil on her lips.

Shen Lilan nodded. Seeing that Zhou Cechen was still looking at him, he handed the string of meat in his hand to Zhou Cechen, "Your Majesty, do you want to eat?"

Zhou Cechen took a bite of the barbecue that Shen Lilan handed to him. Shen Lilan was stunned for a moment, and then saw him put the meat into his mouth.
