Shen Shen Shen doesn't pursue men, only money

Zhixi said seriously: "Shenshen, you are the most beautiful in my eyes. As for the accident that happened... is there anything I can help you with?"

"I will handle the affairs of our mansion myself. Trust your good sister. As for help, I will find you when I need it. By the way, Ziyuan is in the palace today, right?"

When Zhixi heard this, she immediately made an expression like: Oh, look at you, you are here to see your brother. She blinked at Shen Shenshen, and whispered with a gossipy expression: "Why don't you call Ziyuan brother all of a sudden? Today, your brother asked me to write a letter to invite you. But you are not in the palace at the moment. Father gave you a lot of official business. Knowing that you were coming to the palace today, your brother stayed up late last night to deal with a lot of official business assigned by father. He left the palace early this morning to deal with some minor matters. Before leaving, he sent a maid to inform me and come back before lunch. You can wait in the palace with peace of mind."

After hearing this, Shen Shenshen gave his friend a look that said, "You are such a gossip."

In fact, through her previous memories and the last contact, she knew Zhu Yanxiao's character and personality very well: he would never waste any energy on people and things that had no benefits. Because it was unnecessary. So he was indifferent and distant, because he knew very clearly what he and the palace wanted.

Is this selfish? Count it! Shen Shen thought. But what does it matter? I'm not going to marry him. A relationship that doesn't involve feelings but only interests is the most comfortable. People who put interests first are very suitable to be business partners.

Because many times, interests are more lasting than feelings.

Shen Shen chose to ignore Zhu Zhixi's gossipy eyes. She changed the subject: "Next month is Xien's 20-year-old birthday. The Marquis' Mansion will hold a birthday banquet. I'll send you a message when the time comes. Remember to come."

Zhu Zhixi was a person who loved to be lively. When she heard that Shen Chenxiang's birthday was next month, her eyes lit up immediately: "Our little Xien has already reached adulthood? I will definitely go and give Xien a big gift. By the way, did you invite my brother?"

"Your brothers Xien will invite them themselves, so I will invite my best friend Zhixi."

Zhu Zhixi was even happier when she heard this. The two of them started chatting warmly about the birthday party.

In her previous life, when she and her girlfriends gathered, they would talk about: parents, relatives, annoying bosses, weird colleagues, and then lipstick colors, new bags, and hot topics on the Internet. Finally, they would definitely talk about handsome brothers, handsome brothers, and handsome stars. If they were married girlfriends, they would change to: complaining about husbands, being humble to children, and hating mothers-in-law.

After traveling here, she met with her bestie and talked about everything from the latest happenings in the capital to the annoying illegitimate siblings, the scheming concubines, the gossips about the young ladies, and the young masters in the capital. Because both of them were noble ladies, they would occasionally discuss some anecdotes and secrets about the princesses and ladies in the palace.

Zhu Zhixi keenly felt the huge difference between Shen Shenshen today and before.

Talkative, cheerful, enthusiastic, and the whole person is glowing.

In the past, this handkerchief was introverted and silent. Every time she chatted with Shen Shenshen, the other party's catchphrase was always: "Fifth sister said..." Everything was up to that illegitimate sister, which made Zhu Zhixi very angry with her every time, and the two of them had a few exchanges of anger over this. If it weren't for the close relationship between the Wang Mansion and the Hou Mansion, and the fact that they were the same age and grew up together, she would probably have broken off her friendship with Shen Shenshen.

At the same time, a dull and stupid best friend made Zhu Zhixi gossip behind her back among the noble ladies in Beijing, saying that she was actually best friends with the fat and stupid second daughter of the Shen family. Zhu Zhixi was such a protective person that she couldn't stand it after knowing it, and went to the noble lady who laughed at her to argue with her. Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not restrain herself and admit her mistake, but also arrogantly retorted: "Zhixi, what did I say wrong? Look around Dongxiang, which lady is friends with that idiot in the Marquis' Mansion?"

After being laughed at in person, even though Shen Shenshen was in a coma, she did not go to the Marquis's mansion to visit him. She felt uncomfortable. Of course, she still sent a lot of medicinal supplements. She was soft-hearted and nostalgic: they had been together for so many years, so she should at least show some appreciation. The day before yesterday, her brother came back home and asked her to write a visiting card to invite her best friend to come over today. She was very surprised: her brother had never looked at this best friend straight in the eye, so why would he suddenly ask her to write a visiting card to invite her to come over?

There is something wrong with my brother. The daughter of the prince's mansion was in an unprecedented mood to eat melons.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shenshen's change today completely overturned her cognition. The whole person can be described as reborn.

What on earth had happened? As she was thinking over and over again, Yuyan's voice suddenly came from outside the house: "The prince is fine."

Shen Shenshen turned around and saw a tall and slender black figure walking into the house towards the light.

The man was extremely handsome, with fair skin, a clear jawline, a face that was just right, and narrow eyes that were both cold and gentle. He looked a little confusing against the light. He was wearing an elegant and intricately embroidered green dress, half of his long hair was tied up with a green hairband, and he had a man's bun and wore an exquisite crown.

Zhu Yanxiao lifted the door curtain and stepped into his sister's room.

The first thing he saw was a bright girl in the front hall turning her head and looking at him with bright eyes.

The girl was wearing a light green dress today. It was the first time I saw her face with a little makeup on. Her eyes were curved and she looked bright. Then I saw the expensive comb he gave her stuck in her hair. It suited her very well.

Zhu Yanxiao felt his heart skip a beat. Miss Shen was a little different today.

Zhu Zhixi was very happy to see her brother arrive as promised, and stood up and saluted: "Brother Ziyuan."

Shen Shen also immediately stood up and saluted: "Ziyuan."

Hearing Shen Shenshen's address, Zhu Yanxiao frowned slightly.

There was a round table, three people, and six chairs. Zhixi and Shenshen sat side by side, and Zhu Yanxiao sat opposite them. Shenshen asked Zhu Yanxiao openly, "Ziyuan, are we having lunch here?"

A slightly cold voice replied, "Yes! Let's eat first. Also, Miss Shen, this prince should be older than you."

"Calling you brother doesn't sound... old-fashioned. Ziyuan is more approachable."

Zhu Yanxiao didn't want to dwell on the name, so he replied calmly, "Miss Shen, whatever you want."

Shen Shen ignored the prince's cold expression and said with a smile, "According to the agreement on that day, I have some tips on how to run Heyinlou that can help you defeat Zhaixinglou. How about it? Are you interested in cooperating?"

Before Zhu Yanxiao could say anything, Zhu Zhixi said sourly but gently, "No wonder brother asked me to write a visiting card. It turns out that he had other intentions. Shenshen, when did you learn all this? And you even discussed the management of the palace with brother?"

Shen Shenshen came here to talk about making money. She was too lazy to talk to her bestie and turned to look at Zhixi: "Then do you want to participate? Listen to my ideas?"

Zhixi clapped her hands happily: "Great, I want to participate too."

Zhu Yanxiao frowned slightly: "Zhixi, nonsense!"
