Chapter 616: Giving the Ninth Prince an "Ingenious" Gift
Seeing that she was silent, Shu He stopped talking and just smiled faintly.
That smile makes one's heart uneasy.
After a while, the carriage stopped and Xuan Feng's voice was heard outside.
"Princess, we have arrived at Prince Nanyu's Mansion."
Until she heard this, Shu Yue's face became uncontrollably surprised.
She lifted the curtain behind her and saw the four big words "Nanyu Prince's Mansion".
Shu He actually brought her to Prince Nanyu's Mansion! !
"Are you so surprised?" Shu He couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this: "Didn't I tell you the purpose of this trip a long time ago?"
Shu Yue looked back at her, and after being surprised, she felt deeply uneasy.
What on earth does she want to do?
Shu He reached out and ran his fingertips across her face, which still had a few bruises on it, and said regretfully, "It's been so many days, why hasn't your face healed yet?"
With a face like this, you still want to turn things around? It seems a bit difficult!
Shu Yue turned her head slightly to avoid her fingers.
Shu He didn't mind. He smiled faintly and withdrew his hand. He took a white handkerchief from the wooden table next to him, wiped his fingers, and then threw the handkerchief aside casually.
"Sister, I've given you this opportunity. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you!"
She curled the corners of her mouth, and it was hard to tell whether the smile was evil or terrifying. In any case, it made her look both weird and captivating.
After getting off the car, Nanqi had already knocked on the door of Prince Nanyu's Mansion.
The person who opened the door was a sixty-year-old man. He recognized Nanqi at a glance and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"General Nan?"
"Butler Qin, please inform His Royal Highness Prince Nanyu that our princess wishes to see him."
Qin Yi looked back and saw a woman with a stunning face and elegant temperament standing behind Nan Qi.
She smiled faintly at him, and her whole person was indescribably calm and approachable, attracting everyone's attention.
Is this the Princess of Li? How come she is completely different from what was rumored?
After hearing the report from his servant, Baili Moyan, who was originally in a lazy state, stood up instantly and threw the wine glass in his hand behind him.
Shu He?
Old Seven wasn't around, and she actually came to see him alone?!
What does she want to do?
His expression was slightly cold. "Since you are the Seventh Emperor's sister-in-law, why didn't you invite her in earlier?"
Upon hearing this, the servant's face drooped with fear and trepidation, "Your Highness, Princess Li said that her status does not allow her to enter the palace. She would like to invite you to the door to speak."
Baili Moyan frowned, and a slightly withered face appeared in his mind.
With such a weathered and rough appearance, only the seventh brother could appreciate it, right?
But, she dared to let Baili Moyan go out in person just to say a few words to her? This woman really has some courage!
He wanted to see what was so special about the woman his arrogant seventh brother had chosen, besides a plain face? Was it worth him going to the trouble of causing a scene in Beisha City for her?
Nanqi and Shuhe waited outside for a while. When Nanqi became a little angry, he saw Baili Moyan in a silver robe walking into the courtyard with the door wide open.
The clothes were a little loose and unruly, giving people a frivolous feeling.
Nanqi stared, his expression almost turning into ice.
Is this Old Nine going out to meet guests like this? Fortunately, Shu He didn't enter his palace, otherwise, who knows what unpleasant words would be spread!
When Shu He saw him coming, he walked in front of Nan Qi with a faint smile on his face.
"Shu He, greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Nanyu!"
She bent her knees slightly, performed the ceremony, then stood up straight and looked directly at Baili Moyan.
He looked at her with a bit of surprise and wonder in his eyes, "Are you Shu He?"
This was the first time he saw Shu He's true face since his last visit to Beisha City.
At the last palace banquet, he was entangled by Fu Qingrong in Yuxiu Palace, so he didn't see her that night.
"Your Highness, we met half a year ago, have you forgotten?" Shu He spoke lightly, and there was no special emotion in his voice, only peace and gentleness.
But Baili Moyan could feel that the person in front of him seemed very different from the one he met half a year ago.
He spoke, his eyes showing a hint of frivolity, "It's precisely because I've seen it before that I can't help but be surprised."
Since the seventh brother's wife came to his door, if he didn't disgust her, wouldn't it be a waste of this great opportunity?
"The last time I saw Sister Qi, she seemed very different from now. No wonder Brother Qi is obsessed with you. You are so stunningly beautiful that any man would be completely captivated by you!"
These words, which were obviously meant to tease, made Nanqi and Xuanfeng change their expressions.
"Ninth Prince, please watch your attitude when you speak!" Nanqi said coldly, wishing he could punch the damn man in the face.
If the master were here, if he dared to speak to Shu He like this, his face would probably swell up like a pig's head!
Xuan Feng also snorted coldly, his face full of warning.
Baili Moyan glanced at Nanqi coldly, not taking him seriously at all.
When Lao Qi was away, his men had lost all their discipline! How dare a guard yell at him!
Shu He reached out and stopped Nan Qi, still smiling faintly at Baili Moyan, "Don't be offended, Prince Nanyu. His subordinates are eager to protect their master and can't bear to see anyone overstepping the line. They were just a little excited. Your Highness is of noble status, so I don't think he would bother with his subordinates."
"Besides, the prince's reputation has spread throughout Kyoto!"
Her words immediately made Baili Moyan's face darken.
Feeling guilty, he subconsciously substituted her words for the events of the last Spring Breeze Banquet.
Just as he was about to scold her, he heard her soft voice say, "Your Highness has seen the world and has seen countless beauties. How could a mere Shu He catch your eye?"
Baili Moyan stared at her coldly. How could he not hear her intention of praising her insinuatingly but criticizing her insinuation?
Before he could speak, Shu He continued, "Your Majesty, today, Shu He came here to give you a gift."
After saying that, Shu He gave Xuan Feng a look.
Xuan Feng immediately signaled and led Shu Yue out of the carriage.
Shu Yue was wearing a plain long gown, with a few dark spots on her face. Her beautiful face showed a bit of weakness. Her pair of tender eyes looked at Baili Moyan with grievance and weakness.
Most men would probably feel pity for her when they see her delicate appearance.
Unfortunately, the man in front of her was not an ordinary man, but the man who had performed a live pornographic show with her in front of the Kyoto nobles.
Baili Moyan looked at the woman who had ruined his reputation, with murderous intent on his face, almost turning into a tangible ice blade.
"Sister-in-law Qi, what do you mean?"
How dare you send this bitch right in front of me?!
Isn't she that bitch's sister? Isn't she afraid that he will kill that bitch?
"Prince Nanyu has been in the palace for quite some time. He probably doesn't know much about the situation outside, right?"
"When Shu He first came to Kyoto, he specially sent gifts to my prince's brothers and sisters, including the Third Princess and His Royal Highness Prince Yong. Now, thinking of our old acquaintance, I feel that you shouldn't be left out!"
"However, Your Highness was once the most noble prince in Kyoto and the one most favored by the Emperor. I believe he should have no shortage of gold and silver ornaments. After much deliberation, Shu He still thinks it would be better to give you a unique gift!"
