Chapter 498 It shouldn't be
Shen Shuyi was in a good mood when he left.
Although the Qingyuan Marquis' Mansion has some spies in the palace, it still needs to have its own manpower.
Not long after walking, Shen Shuyi saw a group of people shaving ice on the lake.
Xiao Hongyan was wearing a red brocade robe with gold thread patterns and holding a long pickaxe in his hand, digging for fish on the ice.
"Your Highness, you'd better go back soon... It's too cold today. If you get hurt by the cold, I won't be able to bear the consequences!"
The young eunuch standing by had a sad face.
Xiao Hongyan was wearing thick clothes and was round like a dough ball. He looked a bit clumsy, but his movements were very agile.
His face was red from the cold and he twitched his nose from time to time.
"If you can't handle it, go back to sleep. If the emperor investigates, I will say you didn't know."
As he spoke, Xiao Hongyan continued to shave ice.
Shen Shuyi chuckled and watched this scene from afar. She suddenly felt that Concubine Xiang was a wonderful person. At least in her opinion, no one in the entire palace was as happy as Xiao Hongyan.
If you want to fish, fish; if you want to set up a stall, set up a stall; if you want to make money, make it legitimately.
"The Twelfth Prince is so happy." Yuping couldn't help but sigh.
Shen Shuyi smiled and was about to say hello to Xiao Hongyan and ask him to give the jade pendant to Concubine Xiang, but was interrupted by a voice.
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet the Princess of Changning here."
Shen Shuyi raised her eyes and saw the person coming in. She was wearing a bright pink palace dress with gold edges. She had a full chest and a slender waist. It was very cold and her chest was low and tight. She looked radiant and gorgeous.
This is Chai Bin’s sister, Lipin.
Concubine Li has fair skin and charming looks. At the moment, she stands here with a slightly bulging belly, just like a touch of bright color in this cold winter, gorgeous and rich, with great visual impact.
Shen Shuyi bowed and greeted: "Greetings to Concubine Li."
"Get up." Lipin smiled and said, "I have heard that the county lady has been practicing in the Jade Buddha Temple. I happened to get a string of Buddhist beads and would like to ask the county lady for some advice."
"It's too snowy here. Why don't you go to Lihua Palace and sit for a while?"
"I'd rather obey your command than disrespectfully." Shen Shuyi responded calmly.
"Very good." After saying this, Concubine Li smiled and left surrounded by people.
Shen Shuyi looked at her back and sighed in his heart, Chai Bin was not handsome, but Concubine Li was really beautiful.
That kind of enchanting, gorgeous and vibrant beauty is like a clear spring in stagnant water. No wonder she is favored by Emperor Qianwu.
"Miss..." Jinzhu was a little worried. After all, it was obvious that Concubine Li had come with bad intentions.
Shen Shuyi said softly: "It's okay."
Shen Shuyi raised his eyes to glance at Xiao Hongyan who was still playing on the ice, then retracted his gaze and followed Lipin.
After walking for a distance, Concubine Li stopped in front of Concubine Rou's palace.
As if she suddenly remembered that Shen Shuyi was still there, Lipin stopped, turned to look at Shen Shuyi, and said with a smile: "I forgot that I should greet Sister Roufei first today. I'm afraid Princess Changning will have to wait here for a while."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "Yes."
The snow in the sky was falling heavier and heavier, with no sign of stopping, but Lipin and her group walked away decisively.
Yu Ping asked worriedly, "Miss, are we going to wait here forever? It's so cold, won't you freeze to death?"
Shen Shuyi stretched out his hand to catch the falling snowflakes, watching the goose-feather-like snowflakes fall into his palm and turn into ice crystals: "Your Majesty is so kind, how could you let a frail person like me wait for so long."
Jinzhu felt that Lipin was clearly trying to intimidate the young lady: "Young lady, how about we go?"
Shen Shuyi looked up at the plaque of Rouxi Palace and raised the corners of his lips: "Since I'm here, how can I leave?"
The next moment, before Jinzhu could react, Shen Shuyi held his head with one hand: "Jinzhu, my vision is a little dark..."
Immediately afterwards, Shen Shuyi closed his eyes, his whole body went limp, and he fell into the snow pile.
"Miss!!!"
Jin Zhu was quick to catch Shen Shuyi, and then choked up and said, "Someone come! The county lady fainted!"
*
At this moment, in Rouxi Palace.
Concubine Rou leaned on the couch, holding a teacup, listening to the noise outside, and said lazily: "I said your method is useless. The Princess of Changning County is not an ordinary person. How could she be intimidated by such a trick of yours?"
Lipin didn't care, she just said: "I just can't swallow this breath. Until now, my brother's death has not been found out, but I think it has something to do with Changning and Mr. Xie."
Concubine Rou smiled softly: "So what if I can't swallow it? Now Yu'er hasn't gotten any benefit from her, so I still have to bear it anyway."
When Concubine Rou thought of Xiao Heyu's injury, she felt so distressed.
I thought I could take advantage of this court banquet to get rid of Shen Shuyi, but unexpectedly, it caused Yu'er to be injured, and she caught the attention of His Majesty.
The housekeeper beside Concubine Rou asked softly, "Madam, the Princess of Changning..."
"Please come in, and call a royal doctor to take a good look. This man fainted in front of the gate of Rouxi Palace. It would be unacceptable for me to sit back and watch."
"Yes."
When Concubine Li saw Shen Shuyi, she asked with concern, "Is the county lady okay? It's my fault that you caught a cold."
Shen Shuyi's face turned pale: "Thank you for your concern, your Highness. I am fine."
Concubine Rou had someone serve Shen Shuyi a pot of hot tea and gave her a seat. Then she said to Concubine Li, "It's freezing cold, how could you let the county lady wait outside for so long? It's really wrong."
"My sister is right." Lipin responded obediently: "The county princess is kind-hearted, I don't think she will blame me."
After that, she took out a string of red sandalwood Buddhist beads and said, "Oh, this is the string of Buddhist beads I mentioned. Please help me look at the scriptures engraved on it."
After saying that, Lipin's aunt handed the Buddhist beads to Shen Shuyi. Shen Shuyi looked at it carefully and said, "It is the Peace Sutra, which is used to pray for peace and prosperity for the family and longevity for the descendants."
"So that's how it is. Unfortunately, my wish is going to be dashed..." Lipin hinted at something, but her eyes were fixed on Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi looked calm as he handed the Buddhist beads to Jinzhu: "The meaning is naturally very good, but things in the world are impermanent."
Jinzhu returned the Buddhist beads to Lipin, but Lipin reached out and pulled hard, breaking the beads.
In an instant, dozens of Buddhist beads fell to the ground with a crackling sound, bouncing everywhere.
Jinzhu was stunned for a moment and instinctively looked at Lipin.
'Snapped! '
With a crisp sound, Lipin slapped Jinzhu in the face: "Bitch! Why don't you kneel down! You are so clumsy, how can you do things!"
"I didn't..." Jinzhu's cheeks were swollen and she swallowed back the words she wanted to explain.
Concubine Rou glanced at her and looked at Shen Shuyi: "Lipin's brother was murdered, and this Buddhist rosary is what he left behind. Although the county lady's maid doesn't understand the rules of the palace, it's really wrong."
"However, we can punish her by making her kneel on the ground and find all 108 beads. This will also help to relieve the hatred in Sister Lipin's heart."
