The poem reads:
Li Shimin recalled his first love. True love has been intoxicating since ancient times.
Chen Lin remembered his father's tears, and Zhang Chong was deeply moved.
After Li Shimin and Xiao Hong discussed the plan, Xiao Hong bid farewell to Li Shimin and went back to the attic. As the sky gradually darkened, Shen Zhenzhu ran from the back garden to her boudoir and buried her head in the Simu bed in the east room, thinking about something. The young lady's boudoir was too beautiful, too enviable. He only saw that the young lady was not only beautiful, but also lived in a place full of pottery. The boudoir was divided into three rooms, with a beam on each side. Under the beam was a gauze curtain, divided into an east room and a west room. In the middle was a hall. In the middle of the hall, there was a large table that was eight feet long and four feet wide. Eight banyan wooden armchairs were placed on each side of the long table. There were fruits, teapots, and cups on the table. Bodhisattva stood on the table. In front of the Bodhisattva, there were offerings. He was wholeheartedly kind and did not change his mind. He did not show the West Room and only introduced the East Room.
The east room was the young miss's bedroom. Looking from north to south: There was a Simu bed, a tea table, a dressing table, a large wardrobe, and a large window on the south wall. There was a white gauze curtain hanging from the window. There was makeup on the dressing table, pots and cups on the coffee table, and neat blankets on the Simu bed. (Someone asked, why did you not write down the entire Shen residence? Everyone did not know that the Shen residence was too big and this was just a memory and not reality. A simple description was enough and it would be the same in the future.）"Miss, it's dark. Why didn't you light the lamp?”Xiao Hong carried a lit candle to Si Mu's bed and called out. Shen Zhenzhu heard Xiao Hong's shout and stood up straight from the bed, her face still as red as ever. "Miss, are you still thinking about what happened in the garden?”Xiao Hong placed the candle on the candle holder and smiled at Shen Zhenzhu. "Little Red, what nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Zhenzhu lowered her head. I was thinking about that young master…" Xiao Hong interrupted her and teased Shen Zhen Zhu,"Ah! What did I say? Miss ran into the boudoir alone without lighting the lamp, so she was thinking of her sweetheart?”Shen Zhen Zhu's face turned even redder than before, and she hurriedly said,"Little Red, what nonsense are you talking about? I was thinking that I felt uneasy because I couldn't repay Young Master's kindness for saving my life.”Shen Zhenzhu slowly stood up and paced back and forth beside Xiao Hong. "Little Red is impressed by Young Lady's gratitude!”Xiao Hong smiled.
"Xiao Hong, tomorrow morning, invite that young master to my boudoir and ask the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal. I want to thank young master in person for saving my life.”Shen Zhen Zhu sat on the Simu bed and smiled at Xiao Hong. "Miss, I'll remember it. I'll get the kitchen to cook something delicious for you later. You should rest early after dinner.”Xiao Hong smiled at Shen Zhenzhu. "Alright, you too. Rest early."”Xiao Hong smiled and nodded before leaving. After Xiao Hong left, Shen Zhenzhu sat on the Simu bed alone, thinking about something. We are talking about Li Shimin and Chen Zhongren. Li Shimin and Chen Zhongren lived in the east pavilion, while the other servants lived in the west pavilion. The room they lived in was divided into two rooms, one east and one west. Liang Ke was in the middle, and there was a curtain hanging below the curtain. Since there were few people living in this room, the curtain was rolled up in a Y-shape. After Li Shimin and Chen Zhongren stayed in the room, they were all grown men, so it didn't matter if the curtain was rolled up or not.
There was a wooden bed near the north wall of the east room. The blankets were neatly placed. There was also a dressing table, a large wardrobe, a coffee table, etc. There was a long table in the middle of the west room. On both sides of the table were four armchairs. The walls were pasted with portraits of famous people. Shen Zhenzhu's boudoir was pasted with portraits of beautiful women, landscape paintings, and famous people's calligraphy and paintings. "Min 'er, what are you thinking about?" Chen Zhongren walked in from outside, followed by two beautiful maidservants in blue dresses. They were carrying wine and dishes. Chen Zhongren asked the maidservants to serve the wine and dishes. They stood beside the two of them and prepared to pour wine for them. (Reader: Sigh, Liu Yuanzhong, Li Shimin, and the old general all dressed up as servants to enter the residence. Why did the servant girl pour wine for them?) Liu Yuanzhong: "This is all arranged by Miss Xiao Hong. She already knows that Li Shimin is the current Crown Prince. Of course, she will arrange a servant girl to serve him."）"Uncle! I was thinking…" Li Shimin looked at the maids on both sides and didn't say what he was thinking. Chen Zhongren also looked at the maids on both sides and said with a smile,""These two maids are both beauties! They were all arranged by Miss Xiao Hong. Min 'er, if you have anything to say, just say it! Let them hear it too."
Chen Zhongren looked at Li Shimin and thought,"The Crown Prince must have met Miss Shen Zhenzhu." "Uncle! I-I-I-I can't say it!" Li Shimin looked at Chen Zhongren and said. "Min 'er, you can't say it now, but you can say it later," Chen Zhongren said with a smile. Come, let's drink." The two servant girls filled Li Shi Min's cup with wine and stood on both sides. "Uncle! Come, Min 'er will give you a toast." Li Shimin raised his glass to toast Chen Zhongren, but the old general was so frightened that his face changed slightly. He hurriedly said,"No, I'm not. It's too... Min 'er, for your happiness, let me toast you.”After saying that, he drank first to show respect. You haven't seen an elder respect a junior, right? To be honest, if Li Shimin was not the current Crown Prince, he should call Chen Zhongren his elder. But then again, he should call Old General Chen his elder. "Come, uncle, this second cup of wine is for you.”Li Shi Min said as he raised his second glass of wine. Before Chen Zhongren could answer, he had already drunk the wine. Chen Zhongren had no choice but to drink the wine together with him. They started to drink.
Xiao Hong brought the food to Shen Zhenzhu and smiled."Miss, hurry up and eat." As she spoke, she placed the food on the coffee table. The young miss was indeed a young miss. She dressed and ate much better than others. She had all kinds of delicacies. However, Shen Zhenzhu did not like to eat these. "Alright, Little Red, sit down and eat too! Move in with me from now on!”Shen Zhen Zhu stood up and smiled at Xiao Hong. "I, Miss…" Xiao Hong hurriedly said. "Little Red, what's wrong?" Shen Zhenzhu interrupted her.”"Alright, I'll get the servants to add a bed now." Xiao Hong quickly said.”Shen Zhen Zhu looked at Xiao Hong and smiled."No need. We sisters sleep on the same bed. I have a lot to tell you.”As she spoke, she sat down in front of the coffee table. "Thank you for your love, Miss." Xiao Hong looked at Shen Zhenzhu and was moved to tears. Shen Zhen Zhu stood up to help her dry her tears and asked with concern,"Xiao Hong, why are you crying? Did I say something wrong, or..." Xiao Hong interrupted her and quickly said,"No…" Young Miss, you've always treated me as a servant. Miss, I will never forget your kindness to me. I, Xiao Hong, will never be able to repay you, Master, and Madam's kindness in this life. In my next life, I will repay you, Master, and Madam's kindness even if I have to work like a cow or a horse.”As she spoke, Xiao Hong's face was covered in tears. Shen Zhenzhu held Xiao Hong in her arms and cried,"Little Red, don't say that. We're like sisters, so why would you say that you're repaying a debt of gratitude? Ever since you came to the residence, I have a companion. We admire the flowers together, play together, and watch the fish together. We are as happy as we can be. Now that we are already seventeen or eighteen years old, we are biological sisters!”"Miss, I will always be with you and serve you!”Xiao Hong hugged Shen Zhenzhu and cried. The master and servant hugged each other tightly for a long time.
The book explained that Xiao Hong was from Yi County of Xu Prefecture. She lost her parents at the age of eight and ten. She was all alone and had to beg on the streets for a living. She had suffered the hardships that no one in the world had ever tried. When she was twelve, she came to Yangzhou and happened to be in time for the Shen residence to recruit servants. She was recruited into the residence just like that. Ten days later, Shen Xueliang saw that this servant girl called Xiao Hong was extremely intelligent and loyal. It just so happened that the Young Lady would have a personal servant girl by her side. Hence, Shen Xueliang arranged for Xiao Hong to stay by his beloved daughter, Shen Zhenzhu's side. However, Miss Shen Zhenzhu did not treat her as a maid but Xiao Hong as her own sister. From then on, Shen Zhenzhu was happy every day, and Xiao Hong was the same. After the bitter end, the sweet end came, and the explanation was completed. At this time, Li Shimin and Chen Zhongren had almost finished drinking. Chen Zhongren was a military general. He knew his duty. No matter how much Li Shimin respected him, he didn't drink anymore. Li Shimin drank five or six cups each. He was drunk. "Miss Zhen Zhu, I will definitely make you my Crown Princess! Ah, Crown Princess!" Li Shimin said drunkenly. The maids on both sides looked at each other and did not speak. Li Shimin said,"Old General Chen, quickly go and call Shen Xueliang over. I want to ask him for the crime of viewing his master!”Chen Zhongren looked at the two maids, then stood up and said to Li Shimin,""Crown Prince, you must not! Shen Xueliang was the prefect of a prefecture. He loved his people like his own son and was extremely loyal! As the saying goes, those who do not know are not guilty. We entered the residence incognito. Shen Xueliang doesn't know about it at all!" At this time, the two maids were already kneeling on the ground. Li Shi Min had drunk too much and did not know what he was talking about. Li Shi Min said again,"I want to exterminate everyone in the Shen residence!"”Although this was Li Shimin's drunken words, it scared Old General Chen so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly said,"Crown Prince, you are drunk. If you want to exterminate the Shen residence, then you will not be able to get the Young Miss Shen Zhen Zhu.”
"Miss Zhen Zhu, where is she?" Li Shimin stood up and asked Chen Zhongren as if he had taken some kind of mental drug. "Miss Zhen Zhu will be here soon," Chen Zhongren said hurriedly.”Chen Zhongren looked at the servant girl kneeling on the ground and said,""Why aren't you guys going to invite your young miss over? Otherwise, none of you will be able to escape!”Li Shi Min also repeated what he said. The two maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They did not dare to be negligent and ran out. Li Shimin was still drinking, and Chen Zhongren couldn't stop him. Shen Zhen Zhu and Xiao Hong were just about to rest after dinner when two servant girls ran in from outside and hurriedly said,"Miss, something bad has happened!" "What's the big deal?" Shen Zhen Zhu laughed.”The two servant girls said,"Taitai's Crown Prince is angry. He wants to punish Old Master's crime and also exterminate the Shen residence. Old General Chen asked Young Lady to persuade her."”"What crown prince? Where did this Old General Chen come from?" Shen Zhenzhu had no idea what was going on. She had never seen the Crown Prince before, let alone Old General Chen. Xiao Hong hurriedly said,""Alright! You guys can leave first!" The two servant girls responded and left. "Xiao Hong, do you know the Crown Prince and Old General Chen?”Shen Zhen Zhu asked Xiao Hong after the two maids left. Xiao Hong quickly said," I'm sorry, Miss. I shouldn't have hidden it from you. This is the Crown Prince's intention. Miss, you may still remember what happened in the garden this afternoon. The person who saved you was the current Crown Prince, Li Shimin. He and General Chen entered the residence in disguise for you!" The Crown Prince's love for you is so deep that he wants the Young Lady over the country.”
"Xiao Hong, what you said is true. Is the person who saved me really the current Crown Prince?”Shen Zhen Zhu's face turned red again after hearing this, and she asked unconsciously. Xiao Hong smiled and said,"Don't worry, Miss. I'm not lying. Every word is true!"”Shen Zhen Zhu heard Xiao Hong's words and asked,"Since he came for me, then why did they hide their surnames and enter my residence?”Shen Zhenzhu was so embarrassed when she said this, her voice was like a lark singing. "Miss, you might not know this, but the Crown Prince did not want to scare you." Your young lady has a string of pearls. She's as beautiful as a flower, as beautiful as a flower and as beautiful as the moon. She's like the goddess of the moon. When she walks, she's like the goddess of the moon dancing. Xiao Hong, you have to hide your identity for me.'I asked why? He said,'If your Miss knows about my background, she will definitely be respectful to me and serve me in every possible way. This will not have any historical significance. Wouldn't it be beautiful if I could fall in love with your Miss as freely as ordinary people?'”Xiao Hong looked at Shen Zhenzhu, who was blushing with embarrassment.
"Little Red, you're just teasing me, right?”Shen Zhen Zhu smiled at Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong hurriedly explained,"No, I'm not. Miss, I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask the Crown Prince!”Shen Zhen Zhu laughed after hearing this." Then, then I'll believe you. Let's hurry to the east courtyard to see what's going on."”Xiao Hong smiled and nodded. Then, Xiao Hong placed the candle in the lantern, held the lantern in her left hand, and supported Shen Zhenzhu with her right hand. The master and servant walked out of the boudoir under the light. The two of them walked down the steps and arrived at the stone brick road beside the garden. Ah! The two of them were as beautiful as Chang'e under the moonlight. There is a poem to prove: the moonlight like water under Chang'e, gorgeously dressed to confuse His Highness, the national beauty Tianxiang face like flowers, Shimin drunk to play love; Pearls under the moon flew in the wind, graceful and beautiful. Who was this woman? The Empress of the Tang Dynasty, Princess Pearl.
Li Shiming was now completely drunk and couldn't get up from the table. Chen Zhongren had no choice but to sit opposite him and look at the drunk Crown Prince with a smile. Li Shiming kept calling Shen Zhenzhu's name, which showed how important Shen Zhenzhu was in Li Shiming's heart. "Little Red greets Old General Chen!" It didn't take long for the master and servant to arrive at the guest room. Shen Zhenzhu didn't know that this was Old General Chen. Xiao Hong was different, because Li Shimin had once told her about the old general's appearance. She recognized him the moment she entered the room, so she went forward and bowed to Chen Zhongren. "This little girl's eyes were not sharp enough to recognize Old General, please forgive me!”When Shen Zhen Zhu heard Xiao Hong call this middle-aged man old general, she instantly understood. Hence, he stepped forward and cupped his hands. Chen Zhongren stood up and looked at Shen Zhenzhu with a smile: "Indeed, Chang'e in the moon has arrived. A graceful lady is easy to seek. Her beauty is charming and beautiful. Beautiful! No wonder my Crown Prince is infatuated with you. May I ask if you are Shen Zhen Zhu, Shen Xue Liang's daughter?”At this moment, Shen Zhenzhu was already blushing from Chen Zhongren's poem. She whispered," Yes, my daughter. General, you are flattering me. My daughter is not as beautiful as you described. Chang'e is the Palace Lord of the Moon Palace. My daughter is miles away from her!"”Shen Zhenzhu lowered her head.
"Niece is too modest. Your father and I are like brothers. At the beginning of the third year of the founding of Chang 'an, Emperor Gaozu made your father the prefect of Yangzhou. At that time, you weren't there yet. Brother Shen and I haven't seen each other for eighteen years. I didn't expect my niece to be eighteen years old. Today, the Crown Prince and I entered the residence secretly. I think Miss knows about it.”Chen Zhongren invited them to sit down and smiled. "So it's Uncle Chen. I didn't recognize Mount Tai. I hope Uncle can forgive me!”Shen Zhenzhu stood up and cupped her hands at Chen Zhongren. Chen Zhongren also stood up and said with a smile," Niece, you're not guilty. Even if you're guilty, I wouldn't dare to punish you!" In the near future, you will be the Empress of the Tang Empire. Even if I have the guts, I would not dare to punish the Empress!”Chen Zhongren deliberately teased Shen Zhenzhu. "Uncle, what are you saying? How can my daughter be worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince? Uncle Chen, please don't mock your niece anymore.”Shen Zhenzhu listened to Chen Zhongren's words and was very happy because since Li Shimin saved her life, he had accidentally kissed her. Therefore, Shen Zhenzhu fell in love with Li Shimin, and after listening to Chen Zhongren's words, her heart was so happy that she felt ashamed.
"My beloved Miss Zhen Zhu, where are you? This prince wants to make you the crown princess, never to be separated from you for all eternity.”Li Shimin was lying on the table and talking drunk. Chen Zhongren looked at Shen Zhenzhu, who was so embarrassed that her face was ten thousand times redder than before, but she lowered her head and said nothing. Chen Zhongren came to Li Shimin's side and patted his left shoulder,""Hey, Crown Prince, your beloved Crown Princess is right beside you!”"Which Crown Princess?!" Li Shiming asked in a daze. I only love my Shen Zhenzhu!" "It's your beloved Princess Shen Zhen Zhu!”Chen Zhongren shouted again. When Li Shimin heard the name 'Shen Zhenzhu,' he stood up like an arrow, as if he had taken a pill. The first thing he saw was Shen Zhenzhu's beautiful face. He didn't care if she agreed or not, he stood up and hugged Shen Zhenzhu, saying happily,"My beloved Crown Princess Consort, my beloved Moon Goddess, I finally saved you, caught you!”
"Ah! Your Highness, don't be like this!" Li Shimin kissed Shen Zhenzhu's cherry lips without caring about anything else. Shen Zhenzhu couldn't even breathe. Chen Zhongren and Xiao Hong couldn't stop laughing at them. Li Shi Min let go of Shen Zhen Zhu and smiled,"When Magistrate Shen returns to the residence, I will kneel beside him and ask for his hand in marriage.”Shen Zhen Zhu was kissed by Li Shi Min until her face turned red and she said shyly: "Annoying!" Li Shi Min was already seven times sober. However, he still pretended to be drunk. Shen Zhenzhu and the others couldn't see it, but Chen Zhongren could. He had watched Li Shimin grow up, and his little tricks couldn't satisfy him. "Xiao Hong, let's go out for a while and let the Crown Prince and your Young Miss have a good chat.”Chen Zhongren rolled his eyes at Xiao Hong and smiled. How could Xiao Hong not understand Chen Zhongren's intention? Thus, the two of them walked out of the guest room and closed the door behind them. "Little Red, you should understand why I asked you to come out, right? His Highness the Crown Prince had sobered up seven times, but he still pretended to be drunk. His purpose was to hug Miss Shen Zhenzhu.”Chen Zhongren and Xiao Hong came to the back garden. Chen Zhongren looked at Xiao Hong and smiled. "Ah! Old General, is what you said true?”Xiao Hong said in surprise. "I watched the Crown Prince grow up," Chen Zhongren nodded."His thoughts can't satisfy me.”"The Crown Prince is too naughty!" Xiao Hong laughed.”"My future Crown Princess, my beloved Miss Shen Zhen Zhu, I love you so much!”Li Shimin hugged Shen Zhenzhu again. Before Shen Zhenzhu could answer, Li Shimin kissed her cherry lips again. The two of them kissed each other. Such true love was hard to find.

"Ahahaha... I say, emperor, oh emperor, I didn't see it! The emperor was a sentimental person back then! For the sake of the person she loved, she didn't even want the river!”Sun Wukong laughed after listening to Li Shimin's recollection. At this moment, Shen Zhenzhu was so embarrassed that she did not dare to raise her head to look at Zhang Chong and the others. "I am ashamed, ashamed. At that time, Zhen was already bewitched by the Young Lady of the Shen residence to the point where he did not know where he was and always thought of her. Now, it's really done. She's been caught by zhen and can't escape even if she wants to!”Li Shimin deliberately teased Shen Zhenzhu. Shen Zhenzhu became even more embarrassed and her face reddened. Although Shen Zhenzhu was now the mother of six children, she was still as young, beautiful, and beautiful as ever. "Annoying! He could say anything in front of his daughter, Fuma, Great Swordsman Sun, and all the officials.”Shen Zhen Zhu said shyly as she hit Li Shi Min with both hands. Seeing the Emperor and Empress so happy, the officials were naturally happy too. "Father and mother are so loving, your son can't be more envious! Your son will learn from father to love my two babies!”Zhang Chong hugged Qiuhua and Qing 'Er and said with a smile. Li Shimin laughed when he heard that. Prince Consort, I'm telling you, Qing 'er and Hua' er are my good daughters. If you dare to bully them, I won't forgive you!”The two girls lowered their heads in embarrassment. Qiuhua said,"Father, what nonsense are you talking about! My daughter is already 18 or 19 years old. Even if Sister Qing 'er and I join forces, no one would dare to bully us!”"Second brother, you heard what your sister-in-law said, right?" Zhang Chong teased the two girls. Even if they joined forces, they wouldn't dare to bully them. I, I'm in trouble. Father, you have to seek justice for your son!”
"Prince Consort, what injustice do you have? Tell me, I will help you!" Li Shi Min loved his daughters dearly, so he looked at his two daughters and smiled at Zhang Chong. Zhang Chong pretended to cry out,"Father, your son has been wronged!" Sigh, let's not talk about it anymore. Father, I have an idea!”"What do you mean?" Li Shimin asked quickly.”Sun Wukong didn't interrupt, but just listened to the conversation between Li Shimin and Zhang Chong. "Father, your son begs you to issue an imperial edict!”Zhang Chong looked at the two ladies in his arms and said with a smile. "Tell me, what imperial edict do you want me to issue?" Li Shimin laughed.”"Father, please issue an imperial edict that men are not afraid of women from now on!" Zhang Chong said with a smile.”"Alright!" the two girls said shyly. You and Father teamed up to mock us!" As she spoke, the two girls started to beat Zhang Chong's body. After a while, Qiuhua stood up and ran to Shen Zhen Zhu's side, burying her head into her arms and shouting: "Mother, look at your good Prince Consort and my father who cheated us into marriage. They joined forces to laugh at us sisters. You have to seek justice for us sisters!”Shen Zhenzhu hugged Qiuhua and smiled,"Hua 'er, your father loves to laugh at others. Don't you know?" Your son-in-law Langjun is a mischievous person, you know better than mother! Mother can't get it back for you!" "Haha... The one who knows me is my beloved concubine! Hua 'er, your mother won't help you anymore!”Li Shi Min laughed after hearing Shen Zhen Zhu's words. The officials all laughed.
If you want to know what will happen next, let's talk about it in the next chapter.
Liu Yuanzhong: Hello everyone! I'm not going to update for now. I've said before that I should hurry up after this matter is over. I'm going to finish the book before the Spring Festival. "The Legend of Zhang Chong" will be published in February next year. I won't write about these two things in the future. The rest were updated as usual.
