"This … this humble one was rude." The man bowed slightly and apologized, "This humble one is Yan Zheng. I'm really sorry."
Yan Zheng's appearance was handsome, and his pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to contain some indescribable feelings when he looked at others. He was dressed in an indigo long robe with wide sleeves, and his every movement was very elegant.
Shen Yu looked at him for a while and felt the arm around his waist tighten, so he withdrew his gaze.
Dahuan had always been open, so it wasn't strange for men to be together. Yan Zheng quickly adjusted his expression and looked in the direction that Shen Yu and Shang Junlin came from, "Did the two of you drive past here? I just heard the sound of a carriage. "
"Yes, our carriage is behind," Shen Yu said, "We heard the noise here, so we came to see what happened."
At this time, Fang Daren, who was dressed in casual clothes, also came over. He saw that Shen Yu didn't want to reveal their identity, so he tactfully didn't say anything.
"This humble one's carriage had some problems. It collided with another carriage," Yan Zheng smiled bitterly, "I don't know why, but when I came here, the road was full of potholes."
Shen Yu looked around and saw that the road was even worse than the one they came from, "When we passed by here, it was still flat. How did it become like this in just over two hours?"
Shen Yu remembered that when he came here with Shang Junlin, the road wasn't so bad. He didn't know what happened in the past two hours to make the road like this.
"To be honest, this isn't the first time I've encountered this kind of thing. I'm afraid that the two of you were implicated by me. If I didn't take this road, I don't think this kind of thing would have happened." This wasn't the first time Yan Zheng encountered this kind of thing. He didn't know if it was purely because of his bad luck, or because of someone's interference.
While they were talking, the servants of the two families had already dealt with the carriage accident.
Yan Zheng wanted to treat the two families to a meal to apologize. Shang Junlin wasn't busy today. Seeing that Shen Yu didn't object, he agreed.
Coincidentally, Yan Zheng was treating them to Yingxing Tower. The waiter was very enthusiastic. When he saw the group of people, he quickly came up to them.
"Are you all together? What do you want? "
Shen Yu pointed at Yan Zheng. "We are together. Today, he is the host. You can ask him."
Yan Zheng was quite familiar with Yingxing Tower. He asked for a private room and ordered the restaurant's signature dishes. Then, he turned around and said to Shen Yu and the other two, "I'll just order some random dishes first. If you guys want anything else, just order it directly."
There were already a lot of dishes. Shen Yu and Lord Fang had no objections, but Shang Junlin, who had been quiet all this time, ordered a few more dishes.
Hearing the names of the dishes, Shen Yu's eyes flashed. These were all his favorite dishes.
Madam Fang and Miss Fang were female. Yan Zheng considerately asked for a private room for them, which was right next to theirs.
As a woman with a title, Madam Fang had seen Shang Junlin before. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she reached the private room.
"Mother, why are you so nervous all the way here?" Fang Jiayi poured a cup of tea for her mother.
"It's the first time I see that person in casual clothes. I'm still not used to it." Madam Fang took a sip of tea and slowly calmed down.
Madam Fang thought that Fang Jiayi had met Her Majesty and Lord Guijun, so she didn't have any scruples in speaking. However, she didn't know that Fang Jiayi and Lord Guijun were disguised when they met.
According to Lord Fang's attitude towards them, Fang Jiayi already had some guesses. Madam Fang's words confirmed her guess. What she saw today was the true appearance of Her Majesty and Lord Guijun.
"The rumors are true. That person really loves the children of the Shen family." Madam Fang was experienced. She could tell at a glance whether Her Majesty was sincere or not. Her Majesty's love for Lord Guijun and the affection in her eyes couldn't lie.
"Of course they are a match made in heaven." Fang Jiayi had already seen it. What surprised her the most was Her Majesty's attitude towards Lord Guijun.
She didn't know how the two of them got along in the palace. When they were outside, Lord Guijun was in charge of many things.
Madam Fang also agreed with this point. She smiled and said, "In the past, I would never have thought that Her Majesty would be like this when she has a sweetheart. I don't know if you noticed, but they don't talk about seniority when they get along. She acts like an ordinary person who has fallen in love."
Shen Yu didn't know that Fang Jiayi and her son were talking about him and Shang Junlin in the private room. Yan Zheng was very enthusiastic, and his way of dealing with people was very comfortable. Under his intention, Shang Junlin wasn't as taciturn as usual.
The small banquet could be said to be enjoyable for both the guests and the host.
After it was over, Shen Yu and Shang Junlin left first.
Not long after, Official Fang also got up and left.
Yan Zheng stood by the window and watched the man gently and slowly carry the youth into the carriage. His eyes were full of emotions that others couldn't understand.
"If Gongzi likes Gongzi Yu, why not …"
"Be careful with your words," Yan Zheng interrupted the servant. "They are a married couple who are deeply in love. Why would I be a bad person and disturb them?"
It wasn't that Yan Zheng didn't feel that the man was good to Shen Yu. He admitted that he had some unspeakable thoughts when he invited him, but now these thoughts had been cut off.
He quietly observed that throughout the meal, the man was intentionally or unintentionally taking care of the youth. It wasn't intentional, but a natural habit. This showed that the man had already engraved the principle of taking care of the youth into his bones. He had come to the capital for proper business. Romance was ultimately just a way to adjust his life.
"But …"
"No buts," Yan Zheng knocked the servant's head with his fan. "How's the thing I asked you to do?"
"It's all done. Gongzi, are we really not going back in the future?"
"What, is there someone you can't let go of there?"
"Gongzi, don't make fun of people. I just feel that it's not worth it. Obviously, Gongzi is the one … Why?"
Yan Zheng sneered. "If I want to do it, I'll do it. What's there to say about whether it's worth it or not? You're so young, why do you have to worry so much? When have you ever seen your gongzi suffer? "
Yan Zheng looked at the carriage in the distance. Judging from the temperament of the two people, he was afraid that their identities weren't that simple.
Inside the carriage, Shen Yu half leaned against the window. "Your Majesty, who do you think dug up that road?"
Shang Junlin: "That road has never been used by people. It's impossible for it to become like that for no reason. Moreover, we can only stay in the dark prison for two hours at most. If they want to do something, two hours is enough."
Shen Yu: "This matter is directed at Yan Zheng? Or is it directed at us? "
Shang Junlin: "If it's directed at us, it doesn't make sense that it's just digging up the road. It's most likely directed at Yan Zheng."
Shen Yu also thought so. Speaking of roads, Shen Yu remembered something that Shen Qingran took out in his previous life — cement. The ratio of cement to cement was described in detail in the book he read after his death. Shen Yu planned to write down the formula after returning to the palace and see if he could try to make it.
Compared to the current roads, cement roads were indeed much more convenient.
After returning to the palace, the first thing Shen Yu did was to sit in front of the table and write down the things in his mind from memory.
After his death in his previous life, he stayed in that empty space for a long time. The only thing he could use to pass the time was that book. Shen Yu read that book several times, especially the knowledge that didn't belong to this world. He carefully memorized it.
At that time, Shen Yu didn't know that he could be reborn. He memorized these things out of interest. He was very curious about the world Shen Qingran lived in before he transmigrated. From the things vaguely shown in the book, it wasn't difficult to speculate what kind of wonderful world it was.
After the formula was sorted out, Shen Yu put it in a small box. How to give it to Shang Junlin became a big problem.
Of course, before it was officially put into use, it had to be tested first.
Shen Yu memorized the formula again and listed out some precautions clearly. Then, he called Mu Xi over.
"Give this to the people in the village and let them make it according to what I wrote."
"Yes." Mu Xi didn't ask any more questions and put the box into his sleeve.
"How's the situation at Count North's residence?"
"Sir Zhenbei is still looking for trouble with the Prince of Yue's people. I don't know what Shen Qingran did to anger Sir Zhenbei again. This time, even Concubine Ru can't visit him."
The cause was Prince Yue.
Shen Qingran regarded Prince Yue as his last life-saving straw. Of course, he wouldn't easily break off the relationship with Prince Yue. He secretly revealed the matter of Count North's residence to Prince Yue's people, causing Count North to suffer a big loss. After knowing that it was Shen Qingran who did it, Count North was almost angered to death.
"I raised a good son for more than ten years. Not only did he side with others, but he also told the enemy the weakness of Count North's residence. If I had known, I would have strangled him!" Count North was so angry that his face turned red.
"Count North, please calm down. Qingran didn't do it on purpose. He is still young. I will teach him well!"
Concubine Ru grabbed Count North's hem and was kicked away.
"Still young?" Count North was so angry that he laughed, "Look at Shen Yu. They are about the same age. How can Shen Yu be so sensible and not bring trouble to the family? Look at your good son. What did he do?! "
Not to mention the huge loss of benefits, the foundation of Count North was almost damaged. Count North valued Count North more than anything else. How could he tolerate this kind of thing?
"This Marquis really regretted not wanting a good legitimate son and spoiling an ingrate." Duke Zhenbei coldly glanced at Concubine Ru, "Pass down the order, in the future, without this Marquis' permission, no one is allowed to see that unfilial son!"
"If I find out that he is communicating with Prince Yue's people again, don't blame me for being cruel!"
After driving Concubine Ru away, Count North summoned his confidant for a discussion.
"Count North, don't worry. With the eldest young master here, Count North's residence will be fine."
"Don't bother Shen Yu if you can. It's hard for him to do things in the palace. Let's solve the problem caused by Shen Qingran first."
This matter was neither big nor small. Count North could solve it by himself, but it would hurt him a lot.
When it came to the matters of the imperial court, Shen Yu heard about it from Shang Junlin.
"I'll let someone watch over him. I'm worried that he will beg you. If you want to interfere, just tell me. There's no need to do it yourself." Shang Junlin played with a strand of Shen Yu's hair that fell to her chest and said in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to care about him." Shen Yu lazily leaned in Shang Junlin's arms, "He won't beg me."
"I'll listen to A Yu." Shang Junlin picked up the strand of hair and kissed it.
"Your Majesty, do you really listen to me for everything?" Shen Yu became energetic. She rolled on the man's body and turned to face him.
As if he had expected what Shen Yu was going to say, Shang Junlin lifted his chin and kissed him on the lips, "Except for this matter."
