The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

"My Lord, Miss, you are back?"

Madam Qing stood up immediately and said, "There's sweet soup in the kitchen. Miss, would you like some?"

Lu Zhaoling gave her a sweet smile, sweeter than sweet soup. "Drink it, thank you, Mammy."

"Then I will go get it right away, and bring a few plates of snacks to the young lady, some salty ones, so she won't feel so greasy."

"Madam, you are so thoughtful." Lu Zhaoling said.

Aunt Qing left in a lively manner.

Shen Xiangjun: “…”

It turned out that it was not that Madam Qing forgot some hospitality skills. She also asked why they had been sitting here for so long, but nothing was done except adding more tea.

It turns out that there are sweet soups and salty snacks.

Nanny Qing’s attitude has always been there.

But Shen Xiangjun's attention is now on Zhou Shiyue and Lu Zhaoling.

Isn't it said that the relationship between Prince Jin and Lu Zhaoling is not very good?

How could she be so affectionate in front of others now? Moreover, Lu Zhaoling not only held the hand of King Jin, but also almost pressed her body against his arm.

He was just about to hang himself on King Jin.

Is it okay for a woman to be so immodest in public? Aren't you afraid of being drowned in saliva if someone sees you? Only prostitutes would do this.

How could the Prince of Jin allow her to do whatever she wanted?

"Xiangjun meets the prince."

Shen Xiangjun had already stood up when she saw them come in. She tried hard to control her expression, saluted gracefully, and raised her face just right when she stood up, with the angle just right to show her best angle.

She also practiced her eye expressions in front of the mirror every day.

Be tender and gentle, and appropriately reveal some admiration and expectation.

As a result, she didn't look at Shi Yue the same way she did last week.

Zhou Shiyue was looking sideways at Lu Zhaoling and whispering something to her. He just raised one hand perfunctorily, indicating that she should not salute.

Shen Xiangjun held back and looked at Lu Zhaoling again.

"Ms. Lu, nice to meet you again. After we last met, Xiangjun really wanted to see you again."

She met Lu Zhaoling's gaze.

Lu Zhaoling was quite curious. "Ms. Shen, let's put aside the polite words. You are here for something, right?"

Come on, bring out my gold.

Shen Xiangjun almost couldn't keep her composure.

No hurries!

No manners at all.

"Is this the gold that Old Shen owed to my little Lingzi?" Zhou Shiyue finally said something to Shen Xiangjun.

"Old Shen?" Lu Zhaoling was surprised. "How can you call Prime Minister Shen like that?"

"Why not? My brother and I are brothers, and Old Shen is his subject. So, Old Shen and I are of the same generation. Oh, and by the way, if we compare our generations to his, I am not putting on airs."

After Zhou Shiyue said this, Lu Zhaoling immediately asked, "You mean, you are Miss Shen's elder?"

"That's what I mean in terms of seniority, but I don't discuss seniority with everyone. We're strangers, so don't get involved."

Lu Zhaoling was even surprised that Zhou Shiyue disliked Shen Xiangjun.

He almost never thought about giving face to Shen Xiangjun.

The same thing happened last time in Yingshan. Shen Xiangjun was asking for help in the fog, and Zhou Shiyue took her and ran away, not giving Shen Xiangjun any chance to climb up.

She really thought that Shen Xiangjun was a bit of a masochist. Even though Zhou Shiyue was so rude to her, she still had to like him.

"Your Highness, it was indeed my father who asked me to deliver the gold." Shen Xiangjun walked to the small box of gold.

She was somewhat looking forward to it.

"I wonder if the prince has discussed something with my father? Are they going to do something together?"

Shen Xiangjun had no idea what the gold was used for.

But she felt that even if her father suffered a loss and was blackmailed by King Jin, King Jin would probably use the excuse of doing some business or doing some charity work to justify it.

"Should we donate somewhere? If there is a disaster somewhere, Xiangjun can also do her bit to help..."

Zhou Shiyue interrupted her coldly.

"Nothing happened. It's just that your father didn't know how to behave and did something wrong. He gave me this little apology."

As he spoke, he turned to Lu Zhaoling, "Go and see if there's anything missing. If there is, I'll ask him to fill it later."

"okay!"

Lu Zhaoling immediately ran over happily and said to Shen Xiangjun who had her hands on the box, "Please move aside."

Shen Xiangjun: “…”

Before she could react, Lu Zhaoling had already brushed her hand away and opened the box.

Gold, real gold.

So beautiful.

She immediately picked up the two gold ingots, walked towards Zhou Shiyue again, and stuffed the two gold ingots into his arms.

"Little Jinjin, this is a reward from me!" She said generously, "Use it to buy candy!"

Zhou Shiyue never thought that she would do such a thing.

"Little Jinjin?"

"Does it sound good? My talent for naming is far beyond yours." Lu Zhaoling said, calling Qingyin and Qingbao to come, "Carry the box onto our carriage."

"Yes."

Qingyin and Qingbao came to carry it immediately.

Shen Xiangjun couldn't help but reach out to stop him, "Wait."

She looked at Zhou Shiyue in disbelief, "Your Majesty, isn't this something my father sent to you?"

She didn't feel any reluctance to give it to King Jin.

But, why should I give it to Lu Zhaoling? How could I do that?

"In front of the Emperor, I have already said that this is compensation for Xiao Lingzi. How come Prime Minister Shen didn't tell you? Why are you here if you don't know anything?"

Zhou Shiyue's tone was as sharp as a knife. "Just ask a servant to bring it over. You promised it, but you let your daughter come over and cry to stop it. Do you not want to give it to me, or are you trying to play a trick on me?"

We agreed on this. If it happens again, it won’t look good.

"Prime Minister Shen is so embarrassed? I will ask him tomorrow. You promised the emperor so readily. Is it a lie? I asked you to come here to ask for it back, but you are just giving him a formality?"

Shen Xiangjun was startled and immediately let go of her hand, "No, that's not what I meant..."

“This is what I see you doing now. You want to stop it after it’s been delivered to me!” Zhou Shiyue’s face darkened. He looked quite scary and oppressive.

Lu Zhaoling waved her hand and asked Qingyin and Qingbao to carry the box and leave.

"You can leave too." Zhou Shiyue called Qingfeng, "See you out."

"Yes." Qing Feng immediately walked to Shen Xiangjun's side, "Miss Shen, please."

This time, Shen Xiangjun had no face to stay any longer, so she walked out with a pale face.

Only after she got into the carriage did she come to her senses.

"Why would father give Lu Zhaoling one thousand taels as compensation?" One thousand taels, gold!

And she delivered it personally!

It was as if she was personally offering her face to be stepped on by Lu Zhaoling!

Shen Xiangjun is about to explode.

"Go back home, I want to ask my father what's going on!"

Zhou Shiyue took out two gold ingots and said, "Here you go."

"No reward?"
