Chapter 225: Can This Marriage Still Be Successful?
Shen Yindi felt that he was relatively low-key in the imperial capital.
How could her father mention her so often?
curious.
Miss Lin did not hide it. She said, "My father often goes to the palace. He may have seen you there. The emperor also mentioned you to him."
"He said that he accidentally hit his leg once, and Princess Zhenbei gave him a bottle of blood-activating and stasis-removing ointment. He went back and applied it for a day and it was almost healed!"
Shen Yindi's eyes flickered slightly. Her two sentences contained a lot of information.
Firstly, the King of Chu thought highly of him and even told him her identity.
Secondly, she had contact with him, but she had no impression of it.
But now hearing her say this, she seemed to have a slight impression.
It happened at the hunting lodge.
She met him on her way back from the emperor's chamber. He was sitting on a stone by the roadside. Seeing his extraordinary demeanor, she decided to do one good deed every day.
At that time, she had just received the grace of the emperor, who allowed her to return to the imperial capital first. She was eager to return home and was in a good mood, so she gave him a small bottle of blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment.
I didn't expect that he remembered it so clearly, and might have even looked up her identity.
Now that I think about it, he looked to be in his early 40s. I didn't expect his daughter to be that big already.
But I soon realized that this was ancient times and everything was easy to explain.
"Oh, I didn't expect you two had such a connection!" Si Qi said with a smile.
"I can't think of that either."
"Let's sit down and talk. Adi has prepared fruit tea, Miss Lin, would you like to try it?" Chu Yun said.
"Okay, the milk tea, spicy hot pot and fruit tea made by Princess Zhenbei are all delicious. I often ask my maid to buy them for me to take home! Especially the fruit tea. If I open a store, I will drink a cup every day. My favorite is Peach Sijichun." Miss Lin was also very generous in her conversation and had an excellent temperament.
Shen Yindi thought, it turns out that he is still her loyal customer.
So, she could be won over?
After all, her father is the Minister of War.
She has a good personality. She thinks it is such a pity if such a person is with the Queen and Chu Heng's family!
"Oh, in that case, we don't have to be so polite. Miss Lin, just call me Adi, just like Sister Yun and Qi'er. It will feel less strange this way." Shen Yindi said with a smile.
Miss Lin was not shy, she also said: "Okay, Adi, then you don't have to call me Miss Lin, I'm Lin Shuya, you can call me Shuya."
Si Qi immediately responded: "You can also call me Qi'er!"
"Okay, Qi'er!"
Shen Yindi poured her a cup of fruit tea.
This is the hawthorn tea she made today. It is very refreshing. If you drink it in summer, it is definitely the best drink. It can relieve heat and cough.
Then they talked about some other topics and found that they had similar interests and values.
It's actually very easy for girls to become friends.
After chatting for a while, you will know whether you are suitable to be friends.
After a stick of incense had passed, they had obviously become much more familiar with each other.
Shen Yindi felt that the time was right, so she asked tentatively, "Shuya, I heard that the Queen is trying to bring you and the Crown Prince together. What do you think?"
When talking about this matter, Lin Shuya felt a little distressed.
"Of course I don't want to. My father doesn't want me to be with any prince." Lin Shuya said truthfully.
Obviously they know they are trustworthy.
Especially the Shen Yin Di.
My father often said that we should remember her kindness, and that would never be wrong.
Shen Yindi looked at Si Qi and met her eyes. They were both a little surprised, as if they had not expected that their family could be so clear-headed.
"Shuya's decision is correct. If you agree to be with that prince, it would be like putting a flower in cow dung! He is so dirty and not worthy of you." Si Qi spoke boldly.
She is a person of the underworld, so she is not afraid of them.
Lin Shuya looked at her in surprise, as if she had not expected that she was so bold and could speak so bluntly.
Shen Yindi smiled and explained, "Shuya, you'll get used to it in the future. Qi'er is a straightforward person, and she dares to speak her mind. Of course, she doesn't say nonsense or slander others."
"A few days ago, we went to Jiangnan. In a brothel, I heard the girls there say that they had served him before, and there was more than one."
Lin Shuya was stunned again.
It's unbelievable.
"But don't tell your father about this when you go back. Otherwise, if the emperor hears about it, we don't know what will happen to Chu Heng, but the girls in the brothel will definitely suffer."
"I don't want them to be implicated." Shen Yindi reminded.
Lin Shuya was shocked again by Shen Yindi's words.
She was not afraid of offending the prince, but she was worried that the women in the brothel would be implicated because of their words.
This is so special.
"Don't worry, I won't tell Dad."
"But this time when you went to Jiangnan, you also went to a brothel?" Lin Shuya grasped another key point.
"Yes, I went there a few times. I drank wine and talked about life with the sisters there." Si Qi admitted frankly.
Lin Shuya now admires them very much.
They were all very frank and spoke without hiding anything.
Before we knew it we had been chatting for an hour.
Time passed quickly as we talked, ate and drank tea.
The sky was gradually getting dark.
Shen Yindi smiled and invited: "Shuya, do you want to stay for dinner tonight? Go back after dinner?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Si Qi quickly said, "Yes, stay, it will be more lively with more people!"
"Adi, bring out some more fruit wine!"
"Shuya, have you ever drunk fruit wine?" Si Qi tilted his head and looked at Lin Shuya.
"I've only drunk green plum wine."
"How much alcohol can you drink?" she continued to ask.
Si Qi can drink a lot, but no one drinks with her. A Di and Yun Jie can't drink very well, Zi Yan can drink a little better, but there are not many opportunities to drink with her.
It would be nice if I could meet someone who can drink as much as she does.
Drinking with someone.
"It's okay."
"Before coming to the imperial capital, my mother and I lived with my father next to the military camp. My father has a good alcohol tolerance, and he has been feeding me some wine since I was a child. He said that it is good for women to drink a little."
"Maybe it became a habit. I always feel like something is missing if I don't drink a little every day."
Upon hearing this, Si Qi laughed heartily: "Haha, that's great! I'm the same, I love drinking! We can drink together in the future!"
"Okay." Lin Shuya agreed with a smile.
"Will you stay for dinner tonight?" Shen Yindi continued to ask.
"Okay, I'll ask the servant to go back and tell him that I won't be home for dinner, otherwise my parents will worry."
"It should."
"Then I'll go talk to Aunt Fu."
Meanwhile, the harem.
As for the Queen, she received a letter saying that Miss Lin went to Chu Yan's residence today.
He stayed there for several hours and didn't go home.
She drank her tea thoughtfully, with Mammy standing beside her.
The nanny asked tentatively, "My lady, do you think the Crown Prince's marriage can still be successful?"
