After rebirth, the abstinent prince wants to marry me every day

Zhu Qing'an got up early and washed up.

"The princess is already beautiful and graceful. A little bit of embellishment is enough to attract people's attention on ordinary days. Today she is dressed up, won't it make Mr. Shen dazzled?" Wangshu looked at the beauty in the bronze mirror. Even though he looked at her every day, he still felt amazed.

Zhu Qing'an's appearance was one of the best in Ancheng. She had never dressed up specially in the past, but today she was going to attend a banquet at the Shen Mansion. She was thinking about Shen Shixin, so she dressed up carefully with Wangshu.

"This... is too exaggerated!" Zhu Qing'an looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She was beautiful, but too dazzling.

After breakfast, Zhu Qing'an personally prepared a gift before getting ready to go out.

Unexpectedly, at the gate of Hou Mansion, he saw his mother being helped by Aunt Banxia into the carriage that had been prepared for him.

When she saw her mother, Zhu Qing'an thought of the foolish things her mother had done, but filial piety is the most important thing. No matter how foolish her mother was, she was still her biological mother.

"Hello, mother!" Zhu Qing'an stood outside the carriage and bowed slightly. There was nothing wrong with his gesture, but his expression was no longer as Mu Ru as before.

Shui Shiyu looked at his daughter with drooping eyebrows and his face turned pale.

Only after the Marquis lifted the house arrest did she realize what her good daughter had done. Her biological mother had fallen ill without saying a word, and she turned around and called a doctor for Qu Yuan.

"Madam!" Aunt Banxia reminded quietly.

Shui Shiyu was extremely angry, but he also knew that he could not punish his daughter in front of the mansion door.

"Get up!" Shui Shiyu said indifferently, and then closed the curtain. The coachman saluted Zhu Qing'an and looked at Zhu Qing'an, waiting for Zhu Qing'an's signal.

After all, this carriage was given to Zhu Qing'an by the Empress Dowager in the palace herself, not the carriage from the Marquis Wen'an's mansion.

In front of the carriage were two dark horses that could run a thousand miles. The carriage was decorated in a noble style. Outside the curtains hung golden bells bestowed by the emperor, which made clear and pleasant sounds in the wind.

In the entire Ancheng, only Zhu Qing'an was granted an imperial carriage, which shows how favored he was.

In the past, Shui Shiyu almost always traveled in Zhu Qing'an's carriage. She respected her mother in her heart and naturally wished that her mother could ride in her carriage.

But at the moment, she felt only annoyance. Her mother disliked her father, both openly and covertly, and she also disliked her own daughter, yet she was content to enjoy the dignity of a marquis's wife, her food, clothing, and other expenses far more expensive than those of the noble ladies.

Not wanting to embarrass the coachman, Zhu Qing'an nodded slightly, and the coachman then drove away.

"Princess, please wait a moment. I'll have the butler prepare the carriage!" Fu Guang turned and went to prepare the horses. The princess's carriage had been taken by her mistress, so naturally she had to prepare a new carriage and horses.

At this moment, in the carriage heading towards the Shen Mansion, Aunt Banxia looked at her wife hesitantly.

"Banxia, ​​do you think I should let her come up?" Shui Shiyu's voice was soft, with sadness in his eyes.

"Madam and the princess are both going to the Shen Mansion today. It would be great if they could travel together. This would also help to restore the mother-daughter relationship between you and the princess!" Aunt Banxia advised, then lowered her voice, "I heard that the Marquis went to Qu Garden that day and gave away many good things. He even went there to dine these past two days. I'm afraid that if this continues, that vixen will seduce the Marquis!"

"If Aunt Qu can make Zhu Heng stop bothering me, it would be a great blessing. Who would be willing to serve him! As for Zhu Qing'an, she is worthy of being Zhu Heng's child, the same ungrateful person. A legitimate daughter goes to please a concubine. It's shame to have such a daughter!" Shui Shiyu said disdainfully.

Aunt Banxia sighed, knowing that she could not do anything to persuade them.

Although she was a servant, she saw things more clearly. Not to mention that the one in Quyuan was not favored yet, but the atmosphere in the mansion had changed after the Marquis had dined there a few times.

The Shen Mansion is located in the north of Ancheng. The pavilions and towers are dotted with vibrant green bamboos, and even the roofs are carved with exquisite carvings.

The Shen Mansion looks elegant, but if you look closely you can see that there are no particularly valuable items in its decorations, even the rockery looks a bit old.

This is no wonder. Shen Yiqing, the head of the Shen Mansion, took the position of Minister of Works. He was a centrist in the court, so he was disliked by the current emperor. As a result, the entire Shen Mansion also showed a decline.

Except for his previous life, this was Zhu Qing'an's first time stepping into the Shen Mansion.

In her previous life, when she married into the Shen family, Minister Shen and Madam Shen had already passed away due to illness, and the entire Shen family residence was extremely desolate and dilapidated.

Now, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Shen Mansion, it really feels like a lifetime ago.

"Princess, please come this way!" The maid led the way. At this time, the Shen Mansion was extremely lively and many guests had arrived.

Previously, the Shen Mansion was disliked by His Majesty, and Minister Shen was not a person who would seek personal gain, so the Shen Mansion rarely had guests and had not held a banquet for many years.

But now it was different. The eldest son of the Shen family was granted marriage, and it was to Princess Yongfu. Now he had even received an imperial decree, becoming an imperial envoy. This showed his future glory.

"The princess!"

A handsome figure hurried over. The moment he saw Zhu Qing'an, his cheeks turned red and his eyes were not sure where to look. He just said foolishly, "The princess looks really beautiful today!"

Seeing this, Zhu Qingan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Idiot!" Zhu Qing'an quipped in a low voice.

After hearing this, Shen Shixin became even more nervous and didn't know what to do. He just let Zhu Qingan look at him jokingly.

"I'll take the princess in!" Shen Shixin walked beside Zhu Qing'an, but he didn't dare to look at Zhu Qing'an anymore, for fear of appearing stupid again.

The two walked side by side, the man was talented and the woman was beautiful, a perfect match.

"This is the gift I prepared for Mr. Shen. I hope you can return safely!" Zhu Qing'an said as he handed the gift prepared today to Shen Shixin.

Shen Shixin had never expected that Zhu Qing'an had prepared a gift, so he quickly took it with both hands. When he saw the gift, he was even more excited and grateful.

This is a piece of ink, but it is the most famous Hui ink.

As the saying goes, "one ounce of Hui ink is worth one ounce of gold." This is not only due to the exquisite ingredients used, but also the exquisite craftsmanship. Made from gold foil, musk, lampblack, pine soot, and various other Chinese herbs, Hui ink is a complex and time-consuming process. It can take over a year to create a single ink stick, demonstrating its preciousness.

Shen Shixin had seen Hui ink, but he had never used it since he was a child. Not only him, but even his father could not afford Hui ink.

"Princess, this is too precious!" Although Shen Shixin liked it very much, he was still ready to return Hui Mo.

"As long as Mr. Shen likes it, I'm glad. Do you think he would be so reserved when I give him a gift? Just accept it. This is also my sincere token of my appreciation!" Zhu Qing'an said with a smile.

In her previous life, she knew that Shen Shixin liked Hui Mo very much, but at that time she didn't even have a home, so how could she have Hui Mo?

"Thank you, Princess!" Shen Shixin carefully accepted Hui Mo, his heart warmed.

It's not just because Hui ink is precious, but also because Zhu Qing'an treats him differently. Moreover, she knows that she likes Hui ink. This makes Shen Shixin look forward to welcoming Zhu Qing'an into his house as soon as possible.
