Chapter 1529: Will the Princess Still Love Me When She Comes Back?
After hearing from his red-robed attendant that the Son of God had met the hostage princess from the Yu Dynasty in broad daylight, Fu Zheng simply raised his eyelids slightly and chuckled with disdain.
"Two yellow-haired kids, just see them. Shenzi has never had a playmate since he was a child, so it would be nice for a little girl to entertain him."
Having held power for such a long time, Fu Zheng no longer had the same respect for the Son of God as other Western believers. Instead, he treated him as a child.
With Fu Zheng's indifference, the red-clad attendants who followed the Son of God and monitored his every move every day no longer paid any attention to the little girl Shi Li.
Shi Li passed through the numerous palaces of Xifan and came to the cold gray-roofed palace. Seeing two red-robed attendants standing outside the door, she stopped, worried that she would be turned away.
But this is her only chance, she can't give up without trying.
Shi Li quietly clenched her fingers in her sleeves, walked forward timidly, raised her head and looked innocently at the two attendants in red.
"I'm here to see the Son of God. Can I come in?"
The two servants looked at each other, and one of them spoke reluctantly, "Don't make a noise here, I'll go in and ask Master Shenzi."
Not being rejected outright was a blessing from heaven. Shi Li nodded quickly and stood aside obediently, not moving or speaking, like an exquisite doll.
Xifan is located at a high latitude, and ordinary girls are born healthy and rosy. Only Shi Li comes from the Yu Dynasty in the Central Plains. She looks completely different from the girls here. She is as white as porcelain and seems transparent.
A red-dressed attendant walked into the palace, and came out after a while, nodding to Shi Li, "Come with me, don't make any noise."
Shi Li tiptoed carefully and followed him into the gray-roofed palace that belonged to the Son of God.
The Son of God was writing at his desk. Various books were listed on the surrounding bookshelves. Some were even written in the secret language of the Western Fan, but most of them were in the characters of the Yu Dynasty that Shi Li could understand.
The red-robed attendant led her in and then left. Shi Li did not approach rashly. Instead, she stood at the door, looking at the Son of God, and knelt down to salute.
"Have I disturbed you?" She was very cautious, fearing that she would be disliked. This place was much better than her own palace. It was warm and comfortable, and it also saved her a lot of charcoal.
The saved charcoal can be burned a little longer at night so that she won’t be woken up by the cold in the middle of the night.
Shen Zi shook his head and took a step closer to her.
"I told you that you can come to me anytime." His voice was the same as always, his expression gentle and compassionate. He looked at Shi Li as if he could see through her thoughts and guessed her predicament.
But he didn't say anything. He just looked around and pointed at the books on the bookshelf. "I don't have anything to entertain myself here, only these books. Do you want to take a look?"
When the original owner was in the East Palace, he liked reading books. At a young age, he had read a lot of books in the East Palace. He thought that he would not be able to read books after coming to Xifan, but he did not expect that his long-cherished wish would come true here with the Son of God.
Shi Li's eyes widened in surprise, "Can I see it?"
Shen Zi smiled and nodded, pointing to the top shelf, "If you can't reach it, I can help you get it down."
"Okay, I'll just read here and won't make any noise to disturb you."
Shi Li walked forward, picked up a book, found a corner and started reading quietly.
A faint scent of Buddhist incense was burning in the corner, drifting silently throughout the palace.
Shen Zi glanced at her and returned to his desk to continue writing.
Two people are in the same space, each doing their own thing, and living in peace.
