Chen Biyue doesn’t like eating candied fruits, but she prefers to crack melon seeds. Her teeth hit her slightly hard, and the melon shells split with a click, revealing the thick, long and full melon seed kernels inside. The tip of her tongue gently pushes the melon shells, picking up the melon seed kernels and biting them open, with a mellow mouth.

It is also very pleasing to watch the beauty eat melon seeds.

Shao Zhen has been used to be beautiful since childhood, and likes to follow the best-looking King Yu, and has developed an extremely tricky taste. She doesn't even look down on those who are outstanding compared to ordinary people but are not extremely delicate and beautiful. So she likes to come to find Chen Biyue, and a large part of it is also a blessing for Chen Biyue to have a good face.

"That poor scholar thought he was good-looking, and when compared with the emperor, he became the dust on the ground. He could not compare it like this. The emperor was born so beautiful. I knew that I would definitely beat me if I compared a poor scholar. If I was to compare it with Shangshu Wen, it would be enough to be inferior to him." Shao Zhen held his chin and watched Chen Biyue eat melon seeds.

Chen Biyue was stared at like this without any unnatural expression. She had attended many banquets of all sizes in her previous life. Many people were quietly following her how many sips of tea, chewed a few pulp, and picked up a few chopsticks of dishes. Is her demeanor unruly and has lost her morality? Hundreds of pairs of eyes staring her firmly, and she can't make any mistakes.

She ate two melon seeds in a row before stopping, twisting her fingers lightly, "What happened to the scholar?"

"You ask that scholar?" Shao Zhen frowned, "I can't remember it very clearly. It seemed like winter at that time. Although I was wearing clothes on my upper body, I was not wearing any of my lower body at all, and I almost didn't freeze to death. The passing women dared to open their eyes to see it, and the young girls didn't have the courage to gossip. Although I was curious, I was afraid that people would gossip when I saw it. In fact, I also wanted to gossip about it. Unfortunately, when I found out, the man had been carried away."

"His family carried him away?"

"Everyone said he was a poor scholar. He went to Beijing alone to take the exam. His family was not in the city at all. He just saw his aunt's beauty and then became coveted. The toad wanted to eat swan meat. He asked me to say that although his appearance was better than ordinary people, he was still worse than his aunt and husband. It was already considered that his aunt had not gotten angry."

Linghua stood by the table without changing her expression, tidying up the plates full of melon shells and candied fruit cores, as if she hadn't heard them at all. Although the two masters didn't care about her at all, she still shrank her ears, cleaned up silently and went out.

These gossips are not something that she, a maid, can hear.

Shao Zhen suddenly sighed, "I feel that as soon as my uncle left, my aunt seemed to have become a different person. She used to be very gentle and could not do such a thing. Now she is becoming more and more like the previous emperor's uncle."

Chen Biyue listened very seriously, "In the past? Could it be that His Highness Yu was not like this before?"

"Of course not. Uncle Emperor was extremely cruel before. He cut off people's hands and feet at any time and took human life. He caused trouble for people indiscriminately. It was unstable and difficult to please. Now he felt that he was much easier to talk than before, and he could simply describe it as approachable." Shao Zhen's expression seemed to use the word approachable to describe it as a very difficult thing. As she said, she also smiled and hugged Chen Biyue, "It's all your credit."

Chen Biyue recalled the first meeting with Shao Yan and the subsequent contacts. She was indeed a difficult person to get along with. She felt exhausted just by thinking about his thoughts.

"I have met the eldest princess several times, and I have heard from my third sister about the eldest princess and the princess. It is not easy for a woman to live alone for the past two years."

When talking about Princess Hengling, everyone should sigh.

"My aunt and her uncle were really very loving back then. She had the style of an elder sister. She took good care of her younger brothers and sisters before she got married. She was meticulous and thoughtful, and she was thorough. She felt like she was so gentle after getting married. Every time she saw her smiling face, she knew that she was very happy, but who would have thought that her uncle would die at the hands of the emperor."

"So, if the princess had not killed her husband, the relationship between the eldest princess and His Highness Yu would not be as bad as it is now?"

"No, I heard that when my father had not yet succeeded to the throne, the emperor's uncle was still young. At that time, the relationship between my aunt and the emperor was very cold, which was worse than that between my aunt and the emperor. I just said that my aunt was very good to all brothers and sisters, including my father and the emperor. The father could at least respond to my aunt's kindness with a smile, but the emperor's uncle just had eyes on his head, and he hummed twice and walked away, not caring about his aunt at all. Many times made the aunt very embarrassed. The emperor's grandmother scolded the emperor many times at that time, and later the emperor was a little restrained. But not long after, the emperor's uncle threw away the lesson of the emperor's grandmother. Don't look at me as a child. The emperor's uncle caused no less trouble than me, and he was very naughty."

"Your Highness of the King of Yu sometimes has a bad temper, otherwise he would not have killed the eldest princess's son-in-law in anger. The eldest princess is also his elder sister. I heard from the third sister that the son-in-law Li Qingjun is a gentle and elegant gentleman, who is not as good as Wen Shangshu. Wen Shangshu treats people with gentleness and consideration, but he is very sensible and has his own distance. The son-in-law has always been gentle and caring for women. Naturally, after getting married, he is also very considerate and caring for the eldest princess. Now think about it, Your Highness has always been unable to stand up to people like gentlemen."

"Nonsense! The emperor's uncle is not for the uncle who killed him!" Shao Zhen denied it very firmly and said angrily, "Although the emperor's uncle looks down on a gentleman, he will never take action just because the other party is a gentleman. He wants to take action, no matter whether you are a gentleman or a loyal minister, you will kill him as usual."

Shen Biyue: "..." This makes sense.
