Rouge wrong

The winter in the capital is cold, and it snowed the night before they arrived in the capital. Considering Yan Zhi's body, Shen Cuo didn't take her out for a few days.

Although Shen Yunpo has not been seen yet, but with four maids accompanying her, she is living a fulfilling life.

Liu Rongzhi usually lives in the palace outside Beijing, except for the emperor's summons, he basically doesn't care about the affairs of the court, so he seldom sees others.

It's just that she wants to stay away from disputes between right and wrong, but there are still many people who come to find her way.

Liu Rongzhi was not very repulsive, so at the end of the year, the eldest princess's residence was especially lively with people coming and going.

But Liu Rongzhi didn't meet anyone, he didn't even summon Shen Cuo much, saying that he was focused on taking care of Shen Yunpo.

But on this day, the Princess Mansion changed from the calmness of the past few days, and the people in the mansion suddenly became busy.

When Xie Yu entered the study, Shen Cuo was talking with Wen Shi.At times like this in the past, Shen Cuo would not accept interruptions from others.

Seeing this, Xie Yu stood aside, intending to wait for Shen Cuo to finish thinking, and then take the initiative to ask himself.

Shen Cuo didn't hesitate much, he threw the chess piece in his hand, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Yu glanced at the chess board, and looked at Wen Shi with some surprise, Wen Shi sighed slightly, and began to pack the chess pieces.

"Young master, the eldest princess wants you to go to the front hall, saying that there is a distinguished visitor today."

"I see..." Shen Cuo seemed displeased on his face, glanced at Wen Shi, and said indifferently, "Why haven't I seen you for two years, your chess skills are not advancing but retreating?"

"It's the young master's chess strength that has increased, and I feel ashamed to hear about it."

Shen Cuo shook his head and walked towards the door, Wen Shi heard her voice fading away.

"I think you have no intention of playing chess with me, so teach Rouge the rules in the next few days."

"Yes……"

Xie Yu looked at Wen Shi worriedly, Wen Shi remembered Si Ming's words a few days ago, and subconsciously avoided Xie Yu's gaze.

Xie Yu didn't stay for too long, and quickly turned around to follow Shen Cuo.

"Little Lord……"

Shen Cuo said to Xie Yu with a resigned face: "I don't know what happened to Wenzhi these few days, and I was absent-minded when I said anything to her. Is it to prepare for the spring?"

In the past two years, Wenshi has won No. 1 in the provincial examination and the general examination. If he wins the No. [-] scholar in the palace examination, he will be the first Jinshi in the Yan Dynasty.

Based on Shen Cuo's understanding of knowledge, the other party is not someone who values ​​these things, but seeing her abnormality in the past two days, I can only think of this possibility after much deliberation.

Xie Yu smiled lightly and said: "The thing that is afraid of Wen Shi is not the examination of knowledge... I heard that the environment of the imperial court examination room is bad, and the previous two times I was quite embarrassed when I heard it. This year's cold, I think she will have to suffer again bitter."

When Shen Cuo heard it, he suddenly realized.

"You're right, each exam lasts three days and three nights without washing, and these Juren can bear it.

Wenshi loves cleanliness so much, and I must be conflicted in my heart.And I heard that every time Chun Wei freezes some of the children to death, it is not unreasonable for Wen Shi to be worried. "

She thought for a while, and told Xie Yu: "Wen Shi has nothing to say in terms of knowledge, but she doesn't know how to take care of herself. Help her prepare the supplies she needs, and don't wrong her."

"I understand……"

Shen Cuo sighed, took Xie Yu's hand and said guiltily: "The commander-in-chief is discussing the Tao, Bai Quan is focused on making money, and once Wen Shi holds the book, he will not hear anything outside the window. Although the three of them are also my maids, it is actually you It is really hard for you to take care of the four of us alone."

"What are you talking about? The three of them have great abilities, but I can only do some trivial things for you."

"How is this such an insignificant matter? Without you, I don't even know what I would do."

Xie Yu smiled slightly: "How come? In the past two years, young master, you have come here by yourself."

Shen Cuo thought for a while, and agreed: "Yes, it seems that I have grown a lot. But this is also thanks to the presence of Rouge. Who would have thought that she was so smart and considerate at a young age and born in the countryside. thoughtful?"

"It seems that the young master really relies on Rouge."

Shen Cuo nodded: "I think Yan Zhi has a great talent, it would be better if you can teach me by the side."

She pulled Xie Yu along while talking, and she didn't let go until she reached the entrance of the front hall.

The maid waiting at the door was about to lead the way for Shen Cuo, but Shen Cuo raised his hand to stop him, frowning and said: "Which distinguished guest is here?"

She heard the voice of Liu Rongzhi talking to a young woman, and she had a bad feeling just hearing the voice.

Xie Yu shook his head, and the maid beside him replied, "It's Princess Jingcheng."

As soon as Shen Cuo heard the word princess, he turned his head and wanted to leave, but at this moment Liu Rongzhi's voice came from the hall.

"Did you come by mistake?"

Xie Yu gently shook Shen Cuo's hand and shook his head. Shen Cuo froze for a while with a stinky face, and finally turned and entered the front hall.

"By mistake, I saw my mother."

The hall was warm, Shen Cuo walked around the screen and saw a young and beautiful girl leaning against Liu Rongzhi's side, acting quite intimately.

She glanced at the other party lightly, and found that the other party was also staring at her warily.

"Miss is here..." Liu Rongzhi waved at Shen Cuo, "Come and meet your sister Jingcheng."

Princess Jingcheng is sixteen years old now. As the youngest daughter of the empress, she has been loved since she was born.

However, the person Jingcheng admired and loved the most was neither his father nor his mother, but his aunt, Princess Xinyang.

It was only two years ago that she didn't have much chance to see her aunt. It was only this year that she found out that her aunt had found her long-lost daughter.

Jingcheng was three points wary, three points hostile and four points curious about Shen Cuo.Knowing that her aunt had returned to the capital, she begged her mother for a long time before finally being able to leave the palace and visit her aunt at the eldest princess' mansion.

When he knew that Shen Cuo was right outside the door, Jing Cheng immediately looked at the door with all his attention——Auntie looks impressive, but what does her daughter look like?

Before she could think carefully, Shen Cuo walked in from the door calmly.

When Jing Cheng saw it at first glance, his heart tightened.

The woman in front of her was tall and straight, with snow-white skin, gorgeous lips, and deep facial features. She was wearing a sky blue dress with only the pure white fox fur fringe showing at the neckline, making her jade-like complexion even colder and paler.

Moreover, her demeanor is elegant and graceful, her appearance is bright and beautiful, and her temperament is refined, she is a rare good person.

Jing Cheng quickly compared Shen Cuo with the people he had seen so far, but he couldn't find anyone who could match him.

She is the first child of the current Holy Majesty after he ascended the throne, and also the first daughter who has been a princess since birth.

As an aristocrat in Tianhuang, she has met many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the people she associates with on weekdays are all noble girls, but she has never seen a lady with such temperament as Shen Cuo.

"Oh? Which of the emperor's daughters is this?"

Shen Cuo didn't want to see any younger sister at all, with a contemptuous expression, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Jingcheng.

His uncle sits in the Sangong Sixth Courtyard and has a bunch of children. What kind of brothers and sisters does she want to recognize? How can she recognize them?

Since Shen Cuo was sensible, he only knew about one aunt, but he never imagined that one day she would become a daughter of the royal family and be involved in such a troublesome relationship.

As an imperial daughter, Jingcheng has the ability to observe words and expressions, and Shen Cuo does not hide her attitude, so she can see her contempt for him at a glance.

If it were someone else, Jing Cheng would have been tit for tat. He only thought that she was the daughter of his most respected aunt, so he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart for the time being, and said with a smile, "Jing Cheng has met my cousin."

Shen Cuo snorted softly, did not answer Jing Cheng's words, and turned to Liu Rongzhi: "Did mother invite me to meet my cousin? If there is nothing else, can I leave first?"

In the past few days, she was upset because she couldn't see her aunt, and she also remembered that Liu Rongzhi wanted to propose a marriage for her, and she didn't sell any face at all, and she and Liu Rongzhi flirted with Liu Rongzhi openly.

Jingcheng could bear Shen Cuo's contemptuous attitude for his aunt, but he couldn't bear her being rude to his aunt, his face changed slightly, and his tone lowered a bit.

"I heard that my cousin was living among the people since she was a child and didn't understand etiquette. I thought it was just an unfounded rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Shen Cuo originally didn't want to talk about Jingcheng, so he listened to her interjection and smiled contemptuously: "Confucianism values ​​etiquette, rites and music are both famous teachings, if we talk about arrogance, what counts as taking the throne?

I value the law and despise Confucianism. I never thought that the dignified emperor and daughter would talk about etiquette and Confucianism openly. "

The former emperor and the current sage fought against the outside world and settled down inside, and their prestige spread far and wide, and they revived the great flames, and were praised by the common people.

However, when several princes competed for the throne, many of them were not in accordance with the etiquette.

Although the imperial court didn't say it clearly, but now in order to break the influence of the aristocratic family, push the law and suppress Confucianism, the emperor and empress take the lead in breaking the famous teaching of ritual and music, and follow the example.

Not only can women enter the court as officials, but the folk customs are also more open, so there is little talk about the arrogance of famous religions.

Shen made a lot of mistakes, and put a big hat on Jingcheng, which made her speechless and blushed.

This topic is definitely not allowed to go on, so Shen Cuo is so bold that he dared to talk about it in front of the two emperors.

Liu Rongzhi said unhappily: "It's just that you have been hanging out for a few days, and you are so angry. When Jingcheng came here today, I wanted to invite your aunt to have a meal together. It seems that you don't want to be with us anymore."

Shen Cuo's eyes lit up immediately, he changed his impatience and laziness just now, walked up to Liu Rongzhi in a few steps, and said meekly: "Auntie is feeling better?"

Jingcheng was surprised by her capriciousness, and seeing her beaming with joy, how could she be arrogant and indifferent?

Liu Rongzhi nodded.

At this time, Shen Cuo didn't care whether it was true or not that Shen Yunpo occasionally felt the cold, he just wanted to be happy to see his aunt.

But when she glanced at Jingcheng, she became a little unhappy again—it didn't matter if her mother was there, why did she bring Jingcheng, an outsider, to dinner with her aunt?

Liu Rongzhi saw through her thoughts at a glance: "You and your aunt haven't seen each other for a long time, and Jingcheng and I may not see each other for a long time, we are all one family, wouldn't it be nice to be more lively?"

How could she and this cousin who had never met be a family?

Shen Cuo slandered, but he didn't say it, he grudgingly agreed.Compared to her, Jing Cheng was more curious.

She got close to Liu Rongzhi, and the queen secretly asked her a few more words.

Therefore, Jingcheng knew about Liu Rongzhi's "golden house hidden beauty", and because of this, he had an unpleasant quarrel with the Queen Mother.

She only wanted to meet Liu Rongzhi this time, but she didn't expect not only to meet Shen Cuo, but also to have the opportunity to meet the legendary "Evil Cult Leader".

As a peer, she still has some thoughts of being jealous of Shen Cuo, but she is completely curious about Shen Yunpo.

The love of eating is prevalent in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, Jingcheng is not surprised by the feelings between women.

But seeing my aunt being so sincere and urgent, I still couldn't help but want to explore.

In Jingcheng's heart, no man in the world is worthy of Liu Rongzhi, he just doesn't know what kind of woman can make his aunt so fascinated that he would go against the wishes of the emperor's grandmother.
