Rebirth of a Concubine's Daughter

Angrily, Shen Nanyan stepped over Lu Jiusi and walked towards the front hall, but was stopped by Mrs. Lu.

"How can you not behave in front of the prince? Are you going to destroy the Shen family's reputation like this?"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and looked at Lu Jiusi with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please."

Lu Jiusi walked past Shen Nanyan with a slight smile on his lips. Lu let go of Shen Nanyan and hurriedly led the way from the side, while Shen Nanyan followed behind them with a frown.

The silver charcoal was burning brightly in the front hall, and the room was warm as spring. Lu Jiusi was welcomed to the upper seat by Mrs. Lu, and Shen Nanyue sat the farthest away from him. Just as she sat down, the heavy door curtain was lifted again, and Shen Lingxi walked in in a light pink dress. The dress was as thin as a cicada's wing, and the rose-red bellyband inside was faintly visible. With the peach blossom hairpin on her head, she had a bit of the lightness and cuteness of spring. With every step she took, the corners of her skirt would be lifted by the wind, which really touched people's heartstrings.

It seemed as if Shen Lingxi didn't see Shen Nanyan at all. She didn't even tilt her eyes a little, and walked straight to Lu Jiusi to salute.

"Your Highness, your Highness has received your greetings."

Lu Jiusi looked up at Shen Lingxi for the first time, his critical eyes sweeping over her dress.

"I seem to have seen this dress somewhere before."

"Your Highness, this is..."

"It looks like the clothes of a court singer, so low-class."

As soon as Lu Jiusi said this, Shen Lingxi's face flushed. She was so embarrassed that she couldn't laugh or cry. She wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"This... after all, the prince must have a unique vision. Otherwise, we would have been cheated by that clothing shop. This was made with a lot of money. I didn't expect them to use such goods to deceive us."

As Lu spoke, she winked at Shen Lingxi. Shen Lingxi lowered her eyes instantly, looking hesitant, as if she had suffered a great injustice, but Shen Nanyan clearly saw her pinching her thigh hard.

"I seldom go out and have never seen the world, so I was deceived by that person. Now I have lost face in front of His Majesty. Please do not blame me, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, Shen Lingxi bent his knees to kneel down. Lu hurriedly pulled him up and pushed Shen Lingxi forward two steps.

"You silly child, why are you so distant in front of the prince? Have you forgotten that you saved the prince when you were a child? You two have a bond, how could the prince blame you?"

Lu Jiusi ignored what Lu said, but looked up at Shen Nanyue. He wanted to know how Shen Nanyue would react when Lu mentioned saving people.

But he was very disappointed. Shen Nanyan and Caifu were eating with gusto, each having a piece of cake, as if they were the only two masters and servants in the front hall. Lu Jiusi's eyes paused slightly. Could it be that because of the good show performed by Lu's mother and daughter, Shen Nanyan and servant really treated this place as a theater, eating snacks and drinking tea, and watching a show at the same time? Then what was he?

"Your Majesty..."

The mother and daughter acted for a long time without Lu Jiusi saying a word. Mrs. Lu couldn't help but called Lu Jiusi, and Lu Jiusi came back to his senses. However, he still ignored Mrs. Lu and her daughter, but stood up and walked towards Shen Nanyue.

"Is it tasty?"

Shen Nanyan, who was happily eating, looked up and saw Lu Jiusi close to her. He stared at the snack in her hand without any reaction and stuffed the rest into his mouth.

"Unappetizing."

Lu Jiusi raised the corners of his lips and smiled. There was only Shen Nanyan in his eyes and no one else. But his smile made Shen Nanyan seem to think of something, and she immediately reached out and hugged the plate of snacks.

"you……"

"The prince is hungry. There are wine and food prepared in the dining room. Xi'er, please come in and have dinner."

Lu Jiusi was very disgusted by Mrs. Lu's sudden words, but Shen Nanyue's eyes lit up when she heard that there was something to eat. She had been busy outside for most of the day and had not eaten anything, otherwise how could she have a snack here.

"Let's go."

Shen Nanyan did not refuse Lu Jiusi's invitation and accepted it with pleasure. The two of them walked towards the dining room, leaving behind Shen Lingxi who wanted to show her courtesy. Shen Lingxi's little face was wrinkled into a ball.

Mrs. Lu pulled her arm and pushed her, asking her to follow Lu Jiusi, while she turned around and called over Nanny Zhao.

There were indeed many delicious dishes on the table in the dining room, but they were nothing compared to those in the Qixing Tower. However, Shen Nanyan was hungry at the moment, so she was not picky. Lu Jiusi gestured to Shen Nanyan to sit first. Shen Nanyan did not refuse. Since there was no one else there, she sat down first, and then Lu Jiusi sat down next to her.

Shen Lingxi, who followed in, looked up and saw the two of them sitting at the table, and the anger in her heart could not be suppressed even more.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I, your concubine's sister, do not know the rules and have made you laugh."

Lu Jiusi didn't even raise his eyelids, while Shen Nanyan directly picked up the chopsticks and tasted the dish, not taking Shen Lingxi seriously at all. Just when Shen Lingxi was about to speak again, Shen Nanyan said slowly.

"Sister is not afraid of being laughed at when she dresses like this, so why should I be afraid?"

"I... I love beauty. Everyone has it. I'm prettier than you, so you get jealous and slander me maliciously. Is that what your aunt taught you?"

"My Lord, is my sister beautiful?"

Lu Jiusi didn't answer, but turned around and gave Shen Lingxi a back, his eyes always looking at Shen Nanyan. This attitude made Shen Lingxi embarrassed again.

"Your Highness, have you forgotten what happened when we were little? I saved you, and you... you even held my hand. How come you've forgotten everything now?"

Shen Lingxi's crying made Shen Nanyan feel bored, so she picked up her chopsticks and continued to eat. Lu Jiusi's eyes followed her hands up and down. He suspected that Shen Nanyan had really forgotten about saving him, otherwise how could she be indifferent.

"Don't eat it."

Lu Jiusi grabbed Shen Nanyan's hand and asked her to put down her chopsticks.

"What's wrong? Oh, oh, oh... I forgot, I forgot. Your Highness, please eat first."

"Is eating all you think about?"

"Then I'm hungry."

Lu Jiusi was really helpless and had to let go and let her continue eating.

"What do you think about this?"

"Me? I'll watch while I eat. You guys keep talking."

"Don't you have any impression at all?"

Shen Nanyan put down her chopsticks, glanced at Shen Lingxi, then looked at Lu Jiusi, and then pondered for a moment before moving closer to Lu Jiusi, stretching her neck and whispering in his ear.

"My eldest sister might be interested in you, so why don't I go first?"

After she finished speaking, before Shen Nanyan could pull herself away, Lu Jiusi hugged her snake-like waist. Shen Nanyan looked up at Shen Lingxi for a moment, then slapped Lu Jiusi's hand away.

Shen Lingxi naturally saw their actions, but she could not show her anger. She could only suppress her temper and continue to please Lu Jiusi.

"king……"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Shen Nanyan stretching her neck to look outside.

Outside the door, Nanny Yuan frowned and looked inside. It seemed that something had happened. Shen Nanyan got up and walked out without saying a word.
