In early February, Jiang Ningyao opened her palace and moved out of the palace into the Princess's Mansion. This also meant that she was getting married soon. This Princess's Mansion was the residence of her and her future husband-in-law.
Although the decision has not yet been made, the empress is very fond of Shen Xunzhou, the new love interest, and the emperor does have some affection for her. Apart from Shen Xunzhou, he is also looking for other suitable consort candidates in the capital, and has repeatedly asked her if there is anyone he likes. .
Jiang Ningyao does have a favorite person in her heart, but... that person has run away long ago.
How much he hates her, a scourge is nothing more than that.
When they first entered the princess mansion, the servants were still cleaning up everything. Jiang Ningyao was sitting on the rocking chair in the corridor, covered with a thin blanket, basking in the sun out of boredom.
Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, and Xue Yue, the personal maid, led a young man forward.
"Your Highness, this is Captain Wei, who is responsible for the travel safety of the Princess's residence and Her Royal Highness."
The man stepped forward, bowed and said, "Song Yun, a humble servant, pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The drowsy Jiang Ningyao suddenly opened her eyes and turned to look at the person.
What came into view was an unfamiliar face. It didn't have that careless and arrogant air, nor that arrogant and unruly face. It was an ordinary face.
She was really stunned. She said she wanted to let go. How could she think of Xie Ren when she heard a voice?
Jiang Ningyao withdrew her gaze, lay back in the rocking chair, and said coldly: "I know, get out of here."
Song Yun looked up, turned around and retreated with Xue Yue.
After walking far away, Xue Yue kindly explained: "Song Guard, don't be nervous. The princess is very nice. It's just that the princess has been feeling unwell recently, so she feels a little distant. This is not directed at Song Guard."
"Is she sick?" As soon as Song Yun said this, he felt it was inappropriate and immediately changed his words: "Has your highness been sick for a long time? Has she seen an imperial doctor?"
Xue Yue didn't know how long she had been ill. It seemed that the princess had been ill since she came back from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion as a gift to Miss Qiao. She talked less all day long and her appetite had also decreased a lot.
"I have seen the imperial doctor and taken medicine several times. The imperial doctor said that it is caused by the condensation of stagnation. You just need to relax more and relax."
Song Yun pursed his lips and said nothing, his deep eyes were measuring something, when Xue Yue on the side said again:
"Song Guard, just protect the safety of the princess and the princess' mansion. You don't need to worry about the princess. Does the princess have Shen Tanhua?"
"Song Guard, do you know Shen Tanhua? Our princess is pretty and has many suitors, but I would say Shen Tanhua is the most worthy of our princess."
"Shen Tanhua is knowledgeable and very gentle. Every time he comes to see the princess, the princess's mood will change."
"If nothing else happens, Shen Tanhua will be the second master of our princess mansion from now on."
Xue Yue was full of praise for Shen Tanhua and became more and more excited as she talked, but Song Yun on the side was indifferent.
cut! Is the one named Shen that good? Even her servants praise her like this?
He just knows how to read some books, play the piano and compose music, and he looks pretty good.
In the final analysis, he is just a pretty boy with no strength to restrain himself.
……
Jiang Ningyao slept for a while, and when she opened her eyes again, it was lunch time.
An appetizing fried lotus root tip was inconspicuous among the delicacies on the table, but Jiang Ningyao noticed it at a glance.
She likes to eat lotus root tips, but not many people know about it.
She didn't move, and raised her eyes to fall on the guard captain beside her.
Such a tall and upright figure stood out among a group of maids.
"When I eat, my princess will be served by a maid. There is no need for the chief of guard to be here to protect me." Jiang Ningyao said neither coldly nor hotly.
Song Yun heard the sound, turned around and left without saying a word.
But just as he walked to the door, Jiang Ningyao's voice sounded again: "Guard Song, go prepare the carriage and horses. This lotus root tip is very well made, Mr. Shen must like it."
Song Yun paused.
Jiang Ningyao turned a blind eye and said coldly: "Guard Song, answer."
Song Yun lowered his head and responded: "Yes, I will prepare now."
Song Yun retreated, and Xue Yue, who was serving Jiang Ningyao personally, glanced at Jiang Ningyao with some confusion.
The princess has always been gentle to others, so why was she so harsh to Song Guard alone?
……
Song Yun quickly prepared the carriage and horses, and Jiang Ningyao immediately drove to Shen Xunzhou's residence without even having lunch.
After hearing the news, Shen Xunzhou hurried to the door and asked, "Why is Your Highness here?"
There was a smile on his gentle and elegant face, and it was obvious that Shen Xunzhou was very happy to see Jiang Ningyao.
Jiang Ningyao smiled and said: "The kitchen made a dish today. I remember that your hometown is in the southern water town, so you should like it very much."
Said, she turned to look at Song Yun aside.
Song Yun was carrying a food box expressionlessly. Seeing Jiang Ningyao looking over, he lifted the food box numbly, opened the lid, and revealed a plate of lotus root tips inside.
Shen Xunzhou was flattered, "How can we find something so fresh and tender at this time of year?"
"I don't know where they found it in the kitchen, Guard Song, do you know?" Jiang Ningyao looked at Song Yun with a half-smile.
Song Yun tilted his head and said with some reluctance: "A fool went to Ou Pond and dug three acres of land to dig it out."
"Only three acres?" Jiang Ningyao ordered: "Tell that fool to dig ten acres, and the princess's house will have to do it tomorrow."
Jiang Ningyao! !
Under the human skin mask, Xie Ren's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
OK, OK, OK.
He owed Jiang Ningyao and he was here to repay the debt. He deserved this crime.
"Guard Song, answer!" Jiang Ningyao's order came again.
answer! answer!
Jiang Ningyao has loved to say these two words arrogantly since she was a child!
When he was too slow to respond, he even hit him with a whip.
Does she still dare to say that she likes him? What she likes is giving orders and cracking the whip?
Who likes to be so domineering?
"Yes, Her Royal Highness the Princess likes to eat. Ten acres is not enough, so dig twenty acres." Xie Ren, the chief guard of the Princess Mansion, lowered his head and answered loudly.
"Who said I want to eat the princess? All the dug lotus root tips are ready and sent to Shen Tanhua." Jiang Ningyao arrived.
Xie Ren was exhausted and raised his head to meet Jiang Ningyao's glare. He had to lower his head and answer: "Yes, Your Highness the Princess."
After hearing his answer, Jiang Ningyao nodded with satisfaction and returned her gaze to Shen Xunzhou's head.
The princess seems to be in a much better mood today?
Shen Xunzhou looked at the smile on Jiang Ningyao's lips and couldn't help but glance at the guards behind Jiang Ningyao.
Unfortunately, the guard also looked up at him.
Compared to Shen Xunzhou's calm exploration, Xie Ren looked at him blatantly.
Xie Ren looked at Shen Xunzhou from top to bottom——
Shen Xunzhou has fair skin and delicate facial features...
Shen Xunzhou has a tall figure, and the joints of his pen-holding hands are particularly slender...
Look, he's just a pretty boy with no power.
Xie Ren looked at it and suddenly turned his eyes, and the eyes of the two men collided in mid-air.
Xie Ren was stunned for a moment, but Shen Xunzhou was very calm.
He nodded to Xie Ren, then extended his hand to invite Jiang Ningyao into the room: "Your Highness, please come in."
That nod was just a polite gesture from Shen Xunzhou.
But Xie Ren inexplicably felt that he was at a disadvantage, and the victory was about to come inexplicably.
Jiang Ningyao and Shen Xunzhou walked in and walked towards the piano room.
Xie Ren raised his foot and was about to follow without even thinking, when Xue Yue on the side suddenly stretched out her hand to block his way.
Xue Yue pulled Song Yun aside: "Guard Song, have you forgotten the Queen's explanation? The Queen told us to let the princess have more contact with Shen Tanhua, so that a good thing can happen as soon as possible."
Xie Ren was stunned, feeling an inexplicable stab in his heart, and a rebellious spirit surged into his heart almost immediately.
The queen confessed to Song Yun, but she didn't tell him to thank him, so he didn't listen.
