The delicate little cabbage was pushed by the old emperor

“Interesting… Really interesting!”

At this time, Bai Jingxuan happened to be sitting by the window, and he could see the scene below.

Hearing the Crown Prince's praise, his expression became nervous, and he secretly wondered which of the two people below he was referring to.

But he already had a vague answer in his heart...

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always had a calm reaction to Miss Shangguan. He married her out of consideration for the Empress's face and the power of the Shangguan family.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had never had any thoughts about Shen Leyan before, so why did he suddenly... today?

He recalled the last conversation he had with Shen Leyan at Lingquan Mountain, which had been three days...

Although her attitude was rather cold last time and she proposed to treat him with respect, she was still willing to marry him... He had been thinking about her words and missing her these past few days...

He tentatively said to the Crown Prince, "Miss Shangguan is truly a beauty, and a match made in heaven for Your Highness. I congratulate Your Highness in advance."

"A match made in heaven?"

"It's just the Queen Mother's order."

The prince said with a self-deprecating smile: "Everything in my life is arranged."

"The Queen is also doing this for the good of His Highness."

"Yes, Your Highness!" The other staff members also echoed.

"In the past, I was competing with my elder brother for this position. Now that I've taken the throne of Crown Prince, why do you still want me to marry a woman I don't like?"

"Your Highness, please do not be angry. I hope Your Highness will sympathize with the Queen's good intentions and not let the other veteran ministers who follow Your Highness feel disheartened..."

After listening to his confidant's heartfelt words, Xiao Yu fell into deep thought. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his expression gradually relaxed.

Since Shen Lebai likes Shangguan Yueyin, I wonder if Shen Leyan will be willing to fulfill her brother's wish and marry into the Prince's Mansion instead of Shangguan Yueyin.

Thinking of this, he suddenly looked up at Bai Jingxuan opposite him. This was also thanks to the news he brought...

But, he is the crown prince and the future emperor... can't he have any woman he wants?

Originally, he had no other thoughts about Shen Leyan. He had seen her several times before and felt that she was no different from ordinary young ladies from aristocratic families except that her appearance was a little better.

It was only from a fleeting glimpse during the spring hunt that she learned about the preferential treatment her father showed to her Shen family, and then her mother mentioned it many times.

Gradually, he also became interested in this woman. Every time she touched him, she would refresh his understanding of him, making him want her even more...

He thought that as long as she agreed to marry him, if his mother did not agree, he would ask his father to grant the marriage!

After all, Prime Minister Shen is more trusted by his father than Lord Shangguan in the court, and Shen Leyan is more compatible with his age.

However, he did not expect that before Emperor Yong'an's decree to grant the marriage came down, he received the imperial edict to depose the empress and the crown prince.

The Queen and the Lu family's half-life planning ultimately came to nothing, and Xiao Yu's position as the crown prince was as beautiful and short-lived as a flash in the pan...

Shen Leyan returned home and had just rested for a while when she heard her brother's voice coming from the yard.

"How was your day?"

Shen Leyan jokingly asked, "Brother, what are you asking?"

"Did you have fun?"

"Of course I'm happy to be with Sister Shangguan!" She pointed to the large and small bags on the table and said with a smile: "Look, these are our spoils of war today!"

Shen Lebai turned around and looked at the pile of gold and silver jewelry that women liked, as well as the perfumes and lip balms that they usually used, and asked doubtfully, "Don't you usually dislike using these lip balms?"

"Who said that!"

"I remember you just left all the things my mother bought for you lying around without using them."

"I just didn't have time to use it. Otherwise, you can ask Caiyue. Besides, how can I refuse Sister Shangguan's kindness?"

"Sir, that's indeed the case."

"She also enjoys researching flower creams for skincare and beauty, and even makes lip balm from fresh flowers!"

"Hey, brother, how about I make a box of beauty cream and lip balm for Sister Shangguan?"

"It just so happens that I invited Sister Shangguan to visit my house sometime soon, so I can give her this as a return gift!"

"What...when?" Shen Lebai was suddenly stunned when he heard that she was coming to visit his home.

"Sister Shangguan will have time to come over only after the miracle doctor has finished treating Madam Shangguan's condition."

"That's fine, but didn't you give her a gift today?"

Shen Leyan's face turned red when she heard this. She shook her head slightly and whispered, "Of course I did."

The two people behind her knew their young lady's embarrassment and covered their mouths with their hands while laughing: "Young lady also bought a lot of things for Miss Shangguan!"

"But most of them were cakes and candies. Miss Shangguan doesn't like sweets, so most of them ended up in her stomach."

"I thought so. As soon as I got home, I told you not to call you for dinner. It turns out you had already eaten your fill outside."

Shen Leyan's ears felt hot when she heard this, and her temperature rose rapidly as if they were roasted by fire, but she had no way to defend herself. It was her own fault for not controlling her mouth.

Shen Lebai also knew when to stop, after all he needed to ask her for help, he couldn't really anger this little ancestor.

He coughed lightly and began to talk business: "The letter I received said that the miracle doctor and his team should arrive in the capital the day after tomorrow."

"I'll take you to the gate of Shangguan Mansion, and then I'll ask my sister to take the doctor in to see Madam Shangguan."

Shen Leyan knew the relationship between the Shen family and the Shangguan family. In addition, it was not convenient for outsiders to enter the inner courtyard, so it was not convenient for him to accompany them.

He immediately straightened up and raised his head to answer: "Don't worry, brother. I will do my best for you and Sister Shangguan."

"Sister Shangguan originally planned to come to the house specifically to invite the miracle doctor to the Shangguan Mansion. I also agreed with her that we could go directly to her after the miracle doctor had rested."

"That's very good."

"I still don't understand my brother."

Shen Leyan blinked at him and said, "Brother, when you get married in the future, you must prepare a big gift for me!"

"Shouldn't you be the one preparing a wedding gift for me when I get married?"

"Of course there are wedding gifts, but my big gift can't be left out either!"

"After all, I have worked hard this time!"

"Don't worry, my great hero!"

"Did your sister Shangguan say anything today?"

"Um...did you mention me?"

"Of course, and Sister Shangguan even smiled when she heard Brother say that she was a kind-hearted person who had helped Brother many times."

"I think Sister Shangguan must have a very good impression of me. Keep up the good work!"

"Of course! I'll treat her even better."

"I will try to impress Sister Shangguan as soon as possible and have her become my sister-in-law."

Shen Lebai felt more and more embarrassed as he spoke, feeling that she was deliberately joking, but seeing her serious expression, he was not too sure.

He immediately ended the topic: "I have something to do, so I'll go back first. You're tired today, so go to bed early." After that, he stood up and left in a hurry.
