Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Shen Li took out two gold ingots and quietly handed them to Cui Lan'er, "Well, this is for you, take the flowers."

Cui Lan'er was still afraid, but when she saw that the eldest prince didn't do anything to her, she thought that he didn't hear what she had just said. But when she saw Shen Li gave her the gold she had just won, she was happy again.

Moved, she hugged the gold ingot and rubbed Shen Li's arm. "Sister, my father asked me to come and play with you. Can I come to your house to find you in the future, or invite you to my house as a guest?"

"Okay, but I don't understand the rules here. Do I need to send an invitation in advance before visiting your house?"

That's what she seemed to say when she watched TV series and read novels.

Xiao Chenze's ears twitched.

Don't understand the rules here?

This sentence sounds so familiar.

Cui Lan'er nodded. "It's usually like this. When I go to visit my sister, I have to send her a note, otherwise I'll make a wasted trip if you're not at home."

"It doesn't matter if I'm not at home. There are several girls in the Shen family who are about your age. You can play with them first and wait for me."

Cui Lan'er was upset when she heard this, shaking her head like a rattle. "I won't play with them. They always called me stupid behind my back when I attended banquets before. I don't like them, not at all."

As she had guessed, Shen Li understood.

"My mother said that they wronged your mother. They had a quarrel with Zhao because of this. Shen Yao then joined forces with others to bully me. My mother told me to stay away from them in the future. They are not good people."

A warm feeling surged in Shen Li's heart.

I didn't expect that when my mother was not in the capital, there were still people who felt sorry for her.

"Your mother is so kind," Shen Li said, "How did she know that my mother was wronged?"

"Because my mother said that when she accompanied my father to Beijing to take the imperial examination, our family was poor, and my mother fell ill and had no money to treat her, so she was kicked out of the clinic. Your mother happened to see her while shopping, so she paid the doctor with money to buy medicine for my mother, and helped my mother get cured. My mother said, how could such a person do such a shameless thing? They must have wronged her. They wanted to kick your mother out and make room for that Zhao family..."

She suddenly realized that she had said too much, and quickly covered her mouth and looked at Shen Li nervously.

"Sister, I didn't mean it."

Shen Li's eyes became moist.

She likes this girl so much.

"It's okay. I don't care what you say. It's been so long. Thank you for remembering my mother. Thank you."

The two people were whispering behind each other, not knowing that no matter how quiet their voices were, Fang Yao and Xiao Chenze could hear them clearly.

After hearing the last part, Xiao Chenze looked back at Shen Li seemingly unintentionally.

For some reason, he always felt that Shen Li's voice was somewhat familiar.

But if you listen carefully, it doesn't seem like it.

The girl who saved him had a slightly rougher voice, unlike Shen Li's soft and gentle voice.

Fang Yao was unhappy when she saw Xiao Chenze staring at Shen Li.

With a dark face, he coughed violently.

Xiao Chenze turned around.

The emperor looked over with a smile, "What's wrong, my dear? Did you choke on your snack too?"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Shen Li and Cui Lan'er's faces turned red instantly.

The Queen has put a lot of effort into preparing for today's banquet.

There is not only a flower-viewing and poetry-writing session, but also a personal talent show session.

Shen Li did not participate. Originally, Shen Yao and Shen Lin planned to embarrass her at the banquet, but after seeing the Queen Mother's attitude towards Shen Li, they gave up the idea.

The sun shines on people, and the spring breeze is warm, making people drowsy.

Shen Li opened her eyes suddenly when she heard her eunuch say that Master Yuan from the Duke of Wei's Mansion would be invited to come on stage and play a flute tune for everyone.

Ha ha.

He actually came too.

This was the first person he dealt with after traveling through time.

If his parents hadn't been sensible, he might still be lying in bed incontinent.

Yuan Zhilin came to the stage.

He has lost a lot of weight and looks very emaciated.

He didn't say much when he came on stage. He just put the flute to his mouth and started playing.

I have to say, the bragging is pretty good.

Shen Li closed her eyes again and leaned over the table to listen.

When the song ended, there was thunderous applause from the audience.

Just when Shen Li thought it was over and pricked up her ears to listen to her father-in-law read out the next name.

Then Yuan Zhilin on the stage said, "I still have something to say to the eldest daughter of the Shen family."

Everyone suddenly perked up, those who were sleepy stopped sleeping, and those who were laughing stopped laughing.

Shen Li looked at him in confusion.

What does this psychopath want to do?

"Some time ago, I was possessed by evil spirits and broke off my engagement with Miss Shen. I was almost beaten to death by my father."

Yuan Zhilin's voice seemed to come from far away, and Shen Li wanted to lower her head to the ground.

Just because he is thick-skinned doesn't mean she is thick-skinned too.

She has embarrassment, okay?

Yuan Zhilin continued, "The reason I entered the palace right after recovering was because my father asked me to apologize to Miss Shen."

Having said that, he turned to face Shen Li, bent down seriously, clasped his hands together, and bowed: "Miss Shen, I am rude. Please don't hold grudges against me. Please don't hold grudges against me. I'm sorry."

Everyone's attention immediately turned to Shen Li.

Shen Li covered her head.

Oh my God, if I had known this earlier, I would never have come today.

Before Shen Li could say anything, Fang Yao had already stood up and said to Yuan Zhilin, "Alright, my son is not that petty. Let's just forget about this matter and don't mention it again. Judging from your actions today, the Duke of Wei's Mansion is not too bad and can still be saved. Well, go back and tell your father that I said this and I forgive him. I'll treat him to a drink later. You can leave now."

He has a loud voice and speaks decisively, which is a silent protection for Shen Li.

With him around, there's no need for Shen Li to step in, and anything can be dealt with.

Before others could react, Yuan Zhilin had already come down from the stage.

Logically, he had just recovered and the doctor asked him to rest for two more days, but his father insisted that he come, and if he didn't come, he would beat him, and beat him hard.

This illness had a profound impact on him, and he never imagined that Fang Yao would use a miracle drug to save him.

None of his friends who used to spend their days drinking and partying around him came when he was sick. They laughed at him for finding a country girl and having an unfaithful mother-in-law, which stimulated him to speak without thinking in front of Shen Li.

What a bastard I am.

After he recovered from his illness, he figured these things out.

His father asked him to apologize in public, and he was willing to do so.

He left quickly after saying that, as he felt quite embarrassed.

When he went back and told his father that the general wanted to treat him to a drink, his father would laugh out loud with joy.

Just as Yuan Zhilin was about to leave, the emperor's voice came from behind him, "Yuan family boy, come here."

He panicked and turned around, his palms sweating from nervousness.

The emperor said that Shen Li is a good child. He bullied her before, so he won’t be punished, right?

"Come here. You are so brave and willing to apologize in public today. You admit your mistakes and correct them. This is a great act of kindness. I am very pleased. Come, I will give you a good reward."

Yuan Zhilin finally let go of the worry in his heart.

Walking closer, the emperor picked up a small jade ornament from the table and said to Eunuch Chang, "Here, give it to this boy."

Eunuch Chang hurriedly took it, walked down the steps and handed it to Yuan Zhilin.

Yuan Zhilin was very excited.

With this good thing, I don’t have to worry about getting beaten when I get home.
