Reborn, seduced the prince and killed his wife to become his favorite concubine

She could feel that her relationship with the prince should have become much closer. Since it was developing in a good direction, how could she not like it?

"It seems like you two get along well. But given the princess' personality, will she allow you to meet?"

Zhao Rui was a little surprised, and then confused.

Then he exclaimed the next second.

"Aren't you hiding from the princess?"

Shen Zhishu smiled but said nothing.

Zhao Rui jumped up in even greater shock.

"You are his concubine, legitimately married. Why are you treating him like a mistress? I say, is the prince so useless that he doesn't even dare to pamper you openly even though he likes you?"

She seemed to have discovered a terrible truth and she couldn't accept it at all.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin is a man of both civil and military talents. Even if the princess knows some martial arts, he is not invincible. In terms of family background, he is much more noble than the princess. What is he afraid of?"

Then Zhao Rui didn’t understand at all.

"Maybe the prince cares about the princess very much and doesn't want her to be sad?"

"He is a prince, so it is inevitable that he has three wives and four concubines. Moreover, he was born in an imperial family. The Prince of Qin is the most outstanding among all the princes. The crown prince has not yet been appointed. Whether there is a queen is also one of the factors that the emperor considers in appointing a crown prince, right? The Prince of Shuo is far ahead in this regard."

Zhao Rui analyzed seriously again.

At this moment, she didn't look like herself anymore.

"Who told you this?"

But based on Shen Zhishu's understanding of her, Zhao Rui could not say these words.

"My mother, of course."

she said lightly.

But the next second he grabbed Shen Zhishu's hand.

"You also know that my mother and Concubine Hui in the palace are cousins. My mother went to the palace two days ago, and when she came back she talked about the royal heir..."

Zhao Rui whispered in her ear.

It is a serious crime to discuss the issue of appointing a crown prince, but they only dare to mention it indirectly.

But it is obvious that the emperor is now old and weak, and the enthronement of a new monarch is only a matter of time, which will happen in the next two years, so now the court and the harem are discussing this matter.

From what Zhao Rui's mother said, Concubine Hui also valued the King of Qin very much. She had also heard the Emperor mention him once, but he also said that there were too few offspring and he was afraid that the royal family could not be supported.

"So, the prince really has no children."

She knew that the King of Qin was the ultimate winner in the previous life, but now no one, including the King of Qin himself, knows it.

If he knew that Your Majesty was concerned about his offspring, would he...

"Isn't it? Look at other princes, whose families don't have little princes and princesses? Your prince... was badly harmed by that princess. If you have a chance, please try to persuade him."

Zhao Rui was very unhappy when she mentioned the princess, especially when she knew that Shu'er was treated like a 'concubine', she was even more furious.

"It's necessary to persuade him."

But it is unrealistic to persuade the prince to take more concubines.

In the afternoon, after the two sisters had their meal, Shen Zhishu took Zhao Rui for a stroll in the backyard, and walked around in circles outside the yard where Li Yan was working.

Looking at the two of them, you look at me, I don’t dare to look at you, and I look at you secretly but you can’t see me, Shen Zhishu was so amused that he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

She was destined to never have such a pure love.

evening.

Yan Chu had just returned to the elegant courtyard when Nanny Wang, who was beside Concubine Shen, came to ask for a meeting.

"Your Highness, Concubine Shen specially prepared a meal and asked me to ask Your Highness if you have time to come over for dinner."

"Is there something wrong with her?"

To invite him?

Yan Chu raised his eyebrows slightly, quite surprised. How come Shen Zhishu, who had followed the rules for so long, suddenly made a new move?

But when I think back to every time I was with her and the uncontrollable situations, I feel like she isn't someone who pays so much attention to rules.

"I don't know, old slave."

Nanny Wang was a little frightened.

"But Miss Zhao came today, and I heard her talking about the harem."

The master said that if the prince asks, just say this one sentence and there is no need to say anything else.

Sure enough, when Yan Chu heard that it was about the harem, he took action.

When he arrived at Wang Academy, the meal was indeed sumptuous and included spicy dishes.

Braised fish, spicy rabbit meat, peppery chicken wings, and even the shrimps are stir-fried, but there is also a clear-boiled bird's nest.

When Yan Chu saw this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"Why aren't you afraid of getting in trouble with the princess?"

Didn’t you say before that you didn’t dare to ask about his preferences because you were afraid of being held accountable?

But the dishes on this table are what he and the princess have been eating recently.

"The cook in the small kitchen wanted to cook more dishes for me to taste, so she went to the big kitchen to learn. I heard that these dishes are all fresh."

Shen Zhishu explained with a smile that he didn't specifically inquire about it, it was just a coincidence.

But this explanation was weak and Yan Chu didn't believe it.

The two looked at each other and suddenly smiled in tacit understanding.

Shen Zhishu also started to peel shrimps. Yan Chu ate them one by one, and did not hesitate to praise the cooking skills of the people in her small kitchen, saying that they did a really good job.

But the shrimp is a spicy dish after all.

When Shen Zhishu fed the third baby, Yan Chu noticed her red and swollen fingertips.

"Is Concubine Shen's skin so sensitive?"

The spicy pepper actually made her finger swollen? Her slender jade fingertips were red, looking very pitiful.

"I don't feel any pain."

Shen Zhishu hadn't expected this. She wasn't like this before. Why is she so vulnerable to stimulation now? Could it be that she has been taking too much care of herself recently?

"Bring me a basin of cold water."

But Yan Chu didn't let her continue peeling.

He took her hand and washed it himself. Her hands looked even whiter and more translucent in the water, making people want to pinch them.

His mind flashed back to her grabbing his shoulders and crying for mercy last night, and his throat felt very dry.

The lady from a noble family is so delicate that she can't even peel a shrimp.

He took a deep breath and dispelled the desire in his heart.

In the past, he was not such a lustful person. He had just done it last night, so there was no reason for him to think about it again now.

After washing with water, my fingers became even more swollen.

The servant was also sensible and hurriedly found the ointment. Yan Chu then grabbed her hands and applied it to her one by one.

"I've done so much for you, but I'm going to lose something, right?"

Yan Chu saw her looking at her fingers eagerly, as if she was very distressed, and couldn't help but teasing her.

"My Lord, it hurts a little."

I guess I was numb from the spiciness just now, but now the pain is coming back, my fingers are all burning, it's really uncomfortable.

Shen Zhishu's eyes were slightly red as he looked at Yan Chu.

I was thinking in my heart that you have already applied the medicine for me, so if I pretend to be pitiful, you will feel bad, right?

Sure enough, the next second, a hint of heartache and apology flashed across his eyes.

Even just a little bit is enough.

"I want to eat shrimp these days. Ask the servants to peel them for you."

But it was impossible for Yan Chu to hold her in his arms and comfort her softly.

The relationship between the two has not reached that level.

Even though every time we have physical contact it's very passionate, it's just pure desire.

Because of this little incident, Yan Chu lost his appetite for the food.
