The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

Chapter 12 Showing off each other’s acting skills

"I seem to remember that Minister Shen's daughter is called Shen Yue, right?" A charming and puzzled voice sounded.

Looking at the owner of the voice, Concubine Dong was wearing a bamboo-colored palace dress, with a graceful posture, a pair of delicate willow eyebrows and eyes full of spring water, and her cheeks were as pink as cherry blossoms. Although she was no longer young, she was wearing a white phoenix-patterned cloak and a collar wrapped in white fur. She looked noble and charming, but in Shen Yu's eyes...

[From a distance, this looks just like a dandelion! ! ]

Lu Yingxing glanced at her lightly and said, "Your Highness, from the beginning to the end, the Madam is the only legitimate daughter of the Shen family."

[Wow, you are a domineering and protective wife, Xiao Luzi, I have confidence in you, go for it!!]

After hearing this, Lu Yingxing couldn't help but reveal a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, but after realizing what "Little Luzi" meant, he couldn't help but glanced at her with cold eyes.

Shen Yu thought he understood immediately, so he accepted the challenge and put on a shy expression at the right time.

Lu Yingxing: “………………”

The queen chuckled when she heard this, "Oh? Look, Your Majesty, Zihuai can't wait to stand up to defend his wife. It seems that the marriage granted by Your Majesty has really made a perfect couple... Although Princess Zhuo was not well-known when she was in the boudoir, only the legitimate daughter is qualified to become the wife. Fortunately, no one else has confused the bloodline of the royal family..." The queen was hinting.

She has a distinguished family background, beautiful appearance, thick and long eyebrows, and a sense of nobility and confidence in her eyes. As the daughter of the Duke of Dingguo who grew up in great pampering, she is indeed the most qualified to say this.

On the other side, Concubine Dong almost broke her nails. Was this a mockery of her status as a adopted daughter?

But she said softly: "It's all my fault. I've only heard of Shen Yue's name in the imperial city before. She, Ma Biyun and Xu Yaying are three famous talented women in the capital. They are proficient in poetry, songs, music and dance. I thought she was..."

As if she suddenly remembered something, she deliberately covered her mouth exaggeratedly and didn't say anything more...

Ha! Very good! Who are you trying to disgust?! The whole imperial city knows that Lu Yingxing is "madly in love" with Xu Yaying... Then don't blame me for standing up for the queen!

Shen Yu spoke with a stunned look, "Reporting to the Empress and the Imperial Concubine, since my stepmother passed away, I have come to Lingzhu Temple to pray and pray... My late mother taught me how to be a legitimate wife since I was young. I have learned how to manage the household, property, and interpersonal relationships since I was young. As for poetry, singing and dancing... My late mother once said that those are not what I should value, and that I only need to know a little bit. I..." Shen Yu seemed to be embarrassed and lowered her head without saying anything else.

[Humph, you bastard, you dare to openly cheat on me]

[When I go back, I have to spread a rumor that I have a white moonlight, saying that I once...]

Lu Yingxing immediately spoke up, interrupting the dangerous words in her mind, and said tenderly, "Madam is very good, and she is the only person Zihuai has ever loved in his life. I hope Madam will not belittle herself, and don't let rumors confuse the public and wrongly accuse your husband..."

[Who is Zi Huai? Oh, is that Xiao Luzi's pen name? You ancient people had so many names.]

"That's right, Princess Zhuo, please don't believe the rumors. He has never shown such protectiveness towards other women before~"

"In my opinion, your mother said it very well. A wife should have the bearing of a wife. Poetry, singing and dancing are arts that concubines need to master. Using beauty to please men is not a long-term solution... Now that you and your wife are in harmony, the emperor can finally rest assured..." The queen smiled lovingly, and she felt comfortable all over.

Last night was the fifteenth night. According to the ancestral system, the emperor should have stayed at her Kunning Palace. But Concubine Dong lied about the night and tricked the emperor away. She was still thinking about how to fight back... Look, here comes the opportunity. She even likes Shen Yu a little more...

In the past, when she was in the palace, Dong had charmed the emperor with her graceful dancing skills. Otherwise, with her lowly status as a stepdaughter, how could she have persuaded the emperor, who was still a prince at the time, to take her as a concubine? ! Sharing a husband with a "dancer" was the greatest shame of her life...

"Thank you, Queen, for clearing Zihuai's name." Lu Yingxing bowed respectfully, but in his mind he was wondering who the ancients were.

The emperor had seen enough of the show. He, who was always responsible for smoothing things over, laughed at Lu Yingxing's expression and said, "Hahahaha, it's rare. Look at our Zihuai, he can even joke around... Shen Yu, you are very kind. You have just gotten married and my nephew has shown such partiality to you. You have to help me in the future and take care of Zhuocheng for him."

"I will follow the emperor's orders..." The emperor's words were relevant, and Shen Yu wondered if he had misunderstood.

[Is this the assignment? You want me to do something without paying, you are so flattered! ]

Lu Yingxing: “…………”

The emperor behaved very amicably, as if today was a conversation between family members and he was just an ordinary elder.

"Zihuai is the youngest that the Queen and I love the most. As the legitimate daughter of Shen Qing and the granddaughter of the Su family, your character and upbringing should be second to none. I have lived up to the trust of my brother and sister-in-law..."

"Besides..."

The emperor showed a sad look, "When I was young, I was fortunate to have Su Taifu Yazheng. If you had not insisted on staying in the temple to mourn for your mother a few years ago, I would have betrothed you to my sons long ago. Now I have the chance to betroth you to Yingxing, who is also my niece-in-law. The Su family has made great contributions to the court, and the former Prince Zhuo is my blood brother. As his uncle, I am pleased to see that you two are so well matched... but the old friend is gone, and I have a lot of thoughts..." The emperor sighed slightly, with an expression of deep affection.

"I hope that the Imperial Uncle will take care of his health. My father and mother will surely be grateful for your kindness in the afterlife," Lu Yingxing bowed again.

Shen Yu was giving a thumbs up to the emperor's acting skills in her heart!! If she hadn't read the original book, she would have believed it!!

If she really loved Lu Yingxing so much, would she marry him to herself, who was "unlucky in both father and mother and husband and family"? Although she forced the old monk to spread this reputation, how could the dog emperor dare to say that he didn't know about it?

He clearly hated Zhuo Wang's family to death, but pretended to be a loving elder on the surface. Shen Yu had reason to suspect that the death of Zhuo Wang's family, with only Lu Yingxing left, might have been his doing? It's terrifying to think about it, and I can't think too deeply about it! !

As for what he said about missing the Su Mansion? Oh, that's nonsense! !

In the original book, not long after he ascended the throne, he used all means to force his grandfather and uncle to withdraw from the court, which caused them to encounter mountain bandits on their way back to their clan land and their entire family was massacred...

Shen Yu lowered his eyes and squinted. What happened to my grandfather's family... couldn't it be the work of the dog emperor? ? As a result, my mother had a difficult childbirth and was isolated and helpless. Wasn't it because she had no family to rely on?

But since he mentioned the temple himself...

Shen Yu curled his lips, it's just a show of acting... who wouldn't say it the same?
