Chapter 326: Thank you gift, Prince Heng comes to visit
"Your Highness, thank you for the compliment." Shen Wenting smiled awkwardly and immediately asked someone to call Shen Youran out. The coming of the Prince was a good opportunity. If Nianran could get in touch with Prince Ding's Mansion, then the future of the entire Shangshu Mansion would be limitless.
When Shen Youran heard that Prince Heng from Prince Ding's Mansion had arrived, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. Could it be some good news?
Prince Ding is the emperor's biological brother. It is said that the two brothers went through life and death together, and half of the credit goes to him for the emperor to sit on the throne safely. When the emperor ascended the throne, he conferred him the title of Prince Ding. He has always loved this younger brother very much and he holds an important position in the court.
Prince Ding has a legitimate son, Prince Heng, and the frail Princess Zi Ning, and he has several concubines. But no matter which one of them is invaluable, if Prince Heng takes a fancy to her, who would dare to look down on her in the future?
After she washed and dressed, she went to the front hall and saw a man sitting in the main hall. His hair was simply tied up with a crown, and he was wearing a black robe with intricate dark gold patterns embroidered on the cuffs and collar. He was wearing black cloud-patterned boots, which was low-key and luxurious. The wide sleeves swayed slightly as he picked up the tea bowl, revealing a sense of calmness and grandeur.
Thinking that this must be Prince Heng, Shen Youran secretly rejoiced, walked in slowly, and saluted in a soft voice, "Father, why did you ask your daughter to come here?"
"You Ran, why didn't you tell your father about such a big thing, my dear daughter." Shen Wenting nodded with satisfaction when he saw his daughter coming over.
"Father, what are you talking about?" She was a little confused.
"Come, meet Prince Heng." Shen Wenting introduced her.
"My daughter greets Prince Heng." She lowered her head slightly, revealing her fair neck. She was wearing a light-textured, light-colored long skirt that fluttered like clouds. The hem of her skirt was embroidered with delicate flowers, which swayed gently in the breeze, as if she was wearing the whole spring. Her long hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, and the jet-black hair added a bit of playfulness and agility.
"Miss Shen, please don't be polite." Prince Heng politely extended his hand, indicating that they didn't need to be polite: "I didn't expect that Miss Shen is not only an excellent doctor, but also has such a beautiful face."
Shen Youran didn't even hear the words "excellent medical skills"; she only heard the words "beautiful face" at the end, and wondered if Prince Heng had taken a fancy to her. She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said softly, "Prince, you are too kind to praise me. I am just a weak girl, and I don't deserve such praise from you."
"Someone come here! Bring the things up." Prince Heng gave an order, and servants came up with thank-you gifts and opened them. The first tray was full of silver, roughly estimated to be at least a thousand taels. The others were some precious jewellery and so on, which dazzled Shen Wenting.
Shen Youran was also a little surprised. What did Prince Heng mean by that? Why did he give her so many precious things? But when she saw the good things, she couldn't take her eyes away. Because Prince Heng was still present, she restrained her expression, as if she didn't see these things. But in fact, she was already ecstatic in her heart.
She collected her thoughts and said softly, "I wonder what Prince Heng means by this? I cannot accept so many valuable things."
"Miss Shen, you deserve this, take it!" Compared to these things, my sister's life is nothing. My father said that Miss Shen is straightforward, but why does he think she is a little... pretentious? He frowned.
"Since it is a kind gift from Prince Ding's Mansion, You Ran should just accept it!" Shen Wenting winked at her.
Shen Youran understood: "Yes, father! Thank you, Prince Heng, for your kindness."
She asked the maid to take all the things away. She didn't want to miss this good opportunity to hook up with the prince, so she pretended to stumble and twist her foot, and rushed towards Prince Heng. At the critical moment, the prince really caught her steadily as expected, and the two of them had a close contact: "Miss Shen, I'm sorry."
After catching the person and helping her up, Prince Heng helped her sit down on the stool, then he let go of her hand and put some distance between them. Men and women should not touch each other, and if this offended Miss Shen, it would be troublesome, but the situation just now was urgent, and considering that she saved his sister, he couldn't just watch her fall to the ground.
"The incident happened suddenly. I was disobedient to Prince Heng, and you did it out of kindness." Shen Youran lowered her head shyly. When she saw the enlarged face just now, her heart was pounding. The temperament of this Prince Heng was totally incomparable to that incompetent person like Pei Zongzhen.
"Are you okay? Youran, why are you so careless?!" Shen Wenting asked nervously.
"I think my foot is sprained, but it's okay. I'll see a doctor later. It was my daughter's fault for being reckless and bumping into Prince Heng. I would like to apologize to you here." She wanted to stand up and apologize to Prince Heng, but she seemed to feel pain in her foot and looked weak and helpless.
She slightly frowned and bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth. Her appearance made people feel very distressed. Seeing this, Prince Heng stepped forward and extended his hand to support her, saying, "Miss Shen, there is no need to be like this. I don't take it to heart. Just sit still and don't move around, so as not to aggravate your injury." His voice was as gentle as jade, full of concern.
Shen Youran felt warm in her heart when she heard this, and nodded gently, saying, "Thank you for your concern, Prince." There was a gleam of gratitude in her eyes, and her petal-like lips slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
"Well, Miss Shen's foot is injured. Lord Shen should quickly ask a doctor to come and take a look!" How come her leg is injured at this time? I will have to ask her to come over and take a look at her sister later!
"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that he cared so much about You Ran, Shen Wenting was delighted. It seemed that there was a situation. Haha, he immediately asked someone to call a doctor.
After a while, the court doctor came over and checked Shen Youran's legs and feet. He didn't find anything wrong, so he reported back, "My lord, the young lady only has a slight sprain. I'll prescribe some medicine for injuries. She'll be fine after two days of rest."
"Okay, go ahead!" Shen Wenting waved his hand, signaling the doctor to leave.
When Prince Heng heard the doctor say that she was fine, he spoke up, "It's getting late. Since Miss Shen is fine, I will take my carriage to see my sister today. What do you think, Lord Shen? Don't worry, I will send her back safely after the examination."
