Huo Zongqing asked the first half of the sentence strangely, Xue Ning looked at "Princess Duan", and when she saw Shen Yan's face, her complexion changed dramatically in an instant, and she almost fell off the pipa in her hand.

Shen Yu naturally knew Huo Zongqing's malice, and she felt a little disgusted in her heart, and her voice was lazy, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess just have fun." ”

"Oh-" Huo Zongqing dragged out the tail note for a long time, "Xue Ning, it seems that your pipa skills still need to be practiced again." I can't arouse the interest of Princess Duan. ”

Xue Ning just looked at Shen Yan like a thunderbolt, and turned a deaf ear-

When she got the news that the Xue family was copied, she was still working as a maid in Chiayi, and her heart was full of resentment towards Shen Yan. After going to Beijing, the setbacks and tribulations continued, and she and her mother were brought into the mansion by the prince to vent their anger, and when no one was hateful, she concentrated all her hatred on Shen Fei's head.

As a music queen in the prince's mansion, she naturally heard many anecdotes about Duanwang's mansion, saying that His Royal Highness Duanwang, who has never been close to women, married a princess and could almost spoil the clouds.

Of course, Xue Ning remembered the heroic posture of King Duan, and she was so envious in her heart, and then she hated the injustice of fate - if she was still the daughter of Xue Mansion, even if she couldn't sit in the position of a side concubine, she would be content to be a concubine.

But she never thought that Princess Duan, who was loved by thousands of people, would be Shen Yan!

How can it be Shen Fei! That Shen Yan, who was born in a cloth family and is good for nothing but that face!

Now looking at each other, the inconspicuous folk girls in Luling City in the past have become the princes and concubines who live at the banquet and serve the female officials and maidservants, but she has long lost her arrogant attitude in the past, and has become a plaything for people to play and grovel.

The person who used to look down on her suddenly looked at her condescendingly, and Xue Ning felt more ashamed than when she was stripped naked by the prince and thrown in the subordinate's room.

She wanted to go into the ground with her lute in her arms and never see this person again.

Or, find a sharp blade and stab her in the chest, draining all the resentment in her chest.

She didn't listen to Huo Zongqing's words, she just stared at Shen Yan, and she didn't expect this to be rude at all.

Mama Kang, who was still escorting Shen Fei, was the first to react, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be rude to the princess!" ”

As if a loud slap fell on her face, Xue Ning suddenly lowered her head, tears that she hadn't had for a long time welled up again, and in an instant, she panicked and ran out with the pipa in her arms.

Shen Yan was still sitting there, feeling a series of eyes full of scrupulousness.

Xue Ning's gaffe just now naturally fell into everyone's eyes, and I am afraid that several stories have been deduced in my heart at this time. After all, Shen Yan was not used to such an atmosphere, especially when she saw Xue Ning unexpectedly just now, her feelings were a little unstable, and she couldn't help but clench the teacup at this time.

Later, Mama Kang seemed to be able to see her nervousness, and said in a low voice: "If the princess wants to sober up?" ”

"Not necessarily." Shen Yan shook her head, covering up would only want to cover up, she knew best how these people had the ability to distort the facts. If she escapes today, I'm afraid it will cause even more speculation.

Mama Kang followed Xu Yan's temper and said in a low voice: "The princess doesn't have to pay attention to these people. ”

Shen Yu said "um", the entrance of the tea, how calm down was in the end. She looked at Huo Zongqing with a smile, and her tone was the same, "Miss Huo still likes to joke. After all, Xue Ning is my fellow villager, and his family has fallen to this point, which is also pitiful. Isn't it fun to do something that pokes at people's sore spots? ”

This is directly directed at Huo Zongqing's upbringing.

Huo Zongqing snorted, obviously thinking that it was Shen Yu who was making a strong statement.

On the other hand, the eldest princess of Leyang next to her smiled at Shen Yu, "Princess Duan is a kind-hearted person, since she is an old friend, why don't you go and listen to music with me later?" I haven't seen you for a long time, and I think I have a lot to say. ”

Shen Yu heard Xu Yan mention the matter of the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion, and she was even more vigilant when the wind was calm during this time, so she said: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, for your kindness." Today's events are really unexpected, and I'm afraid this is not a good time to catch up. ”

The eldest princess of Leyang didn't say much, smiled kindly at Shen Yan, and asked people to continue dancing.

When the banquet was over, Huo Zongqing accompanied the eldest princess of Leyang out, and really called Xue Ning to go over alone to have fun. Shen Yu felt strange, it was said that Xue Ning was a halfway monk, although he was forced by the situation to improve his skills, but that pipa was not excellent.

The eldest princess of Leyang has been golden and precious since she was a child, how good LeTV has never seen, but she has to spend time listening to Xue Ning play the pipa?

Unconsciously doubted, Shen Yu had taken over some of the secret guards Xu Yan gave her in the past six months, and immediately asked someone to go over and take a look.

In the evening, Mama Kang brought the exact news, saying that the eldest princess of Leyang and Xue Ning talked about the pipa together, and they appreciated it very much. Later, she was even more interested, and personally came forward to ask the prince for this person, and the prince seemed to be quite close to this aunt, although he hesitated for a long time, he finally gave the person to the eldest princess of Leyang.

So Xue Ning didn't even pack his bags, and was directly taken back to the Marquis of Ningyuan Mansion by the eldest princess of Leyang.

This news made Shen Yu feel more and more surprised.

Although the eldest princess of Leyang is not like the prince who has raised countless dancing girls like the prince, there are also many people in the house who can handle it, how can she have a unique favor for Xue Ning? To say that she didn't have the idea of fighting in her heart, Shen Yan didn't believe it if she was killed.

When he mentioned this stubble to Xu Yan, Xu Yan was stretching his legs and lying on the wide couch, lazy Shen Yan in his arms.

His face didn't change much, "In the name of kindness and care, she gathers all kinds of people, and the eldest princess of Leyang likes to do such things." It's naturally not going to be simple, what do you think? ”

Shen Yu was lying flat on his lap, and when he raised his eyes, he could see the outline of his chin, "Your Highness once said that the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion may be plotting something big, right?" ”

"Hmm."

"I see her various behaviors, although it is not very obvious, but-" Shen Yan smiled slightly, holding Xu Yan's hand to play, but her tone was firm, "She is wary of His Highness, and even intends to target His Highness." ”

"That's a good point, go ahead." Xu Yan was anti-customer, helping her massage the top of her head with one hand, and shaking her ten fingers with the other hand.

His hand has always been strong and powerful, and pressing it slowly like this made Shen Yu very useful, and his thinking became clearer, "Your Highness's secret guards are like clouds, and the guards around the palace are also like iron buckets, and they are strong everywhere, except for me, like a weakness." ”

Xu Yan smiled and didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"If she wants to deal with His Highness, she naturally has to pick this most soft and defenseless place to attack, and she has to hit it with a fatal blow. Xue Ning's grudge against me, Huo Zongqing is afraid that he has already told him in full, and the eldest princess of Leyang will naturally think that Xue Ning can be used by her. And Xue Ning has suffered a lot in the past year, I look at her appearance, obviously hate me to the bone, if the eldest princess of Leyang intends to recruit, she will obey. ”

"Same as I thought."

"So the eldest princess of Leyang took her in, not with kindness or admiration for her pipa, but just to sharpen her into a sharp blade, and when the time is right, she will use Xue Ning to deal with me, and then threaten His Highness."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"Pretend to be nothing, but never go to any invitation to the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion alone." She half-sat up with the strength of Xu Yan's arm, and asked Xu Yan seriously, "Your Highness, how long will it take?" ”

"I can't tell. But in the past year or two, you have to be extra careful when you go in and out. Xu Yan hugged her in his arms, somewhat apologetic, "You shouldn't have been involved in these rights and wrongs." ”

"Yes, then Your Highness will let me go back to Luling now, how about it?" Shen Yu smiled and deliberately climbed on his neck and muttered, "In this way, I am really a rich idler." ”

"I finally ate it to my mouth, I might let you go back?" Xu Yan stepped forward and threatened viciously, "If you dare to go back to Luling, I will arrest you back, tie you with a rope, and never leave." ”

This threat made Shen Yan just want to laugh, and in the gap between the corners of her lips, Xu Yan had already taken advantage of the situation to attack.

*

In the evening of the next day, all the experiences of Xue Ning in the capital over the past year were handed to Shen Yan.

Shen Yu looked at the thick stack of notes, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart - no wonder everyone wants to look up, squeezing their heads to cage money slaves, to say that there are more people under this hand, and things are different.

In the past, she wanted to know Xue Ning's experience, so she had to ask Shi Nan to take the money and go outside to find someone, and then inquire slowly, the news may not be accurate. can be transferred to Duanwang's mansion, she just told Mama Kang a few words, and Mama Kang can arrange it layer by layer, and it will be clear in more than ten hours, even when she is infected with the cold.

But when she looked at the news carefully, Shen Yu felt somewhat pitiful-

Because of Xue Wanrong, the prince took special care of Xue Ning's mother and daughter, and personally came forward to bring them to the mansion, and if something didn't go well, he would invite them to torture. In the past year, Xue Ning has gone from fear and crying at the beginning, to silence and avoidance later, to fear and walking on thin ice, until today he can completely put down his face and let the prince bully, but he can still smile and flatter, and his transformation is staggering.

And when Shen Yan thought of Xue Ning's eyes yesterday, she also felt a chill down her spine.

Hundreds of bitter days and nights of accumulated resentment, no one can say what Xue Ning will do for revenge.

She couldn't save Xue Ning from future troubles for no reason, so she could only be vigilant and take precautions.

Fortunately, it is gradually winter, and the families are dormant next to the warm pot in the house, although some people also make some snow feasts, but Shen Yu can be said to be infected with the wind and cold, and she will not go anywhere.

Her library has been almost built, but it has not yet been organized, and the bookshelves and other utensils have not yet been purchased, so Shen Yu went over to see it in person, and according to the things to pay attention to in the library, the layout of the cabinets and insect control measures in it were all arranged.

Then it's time to open a bookstore.

Shen Yu is familiar with this, but after all, she can't do everything herself, so after writing a letter to miss her parents, she asked her father to send a capable general to help her take care of the bookstore. At the same time, he arranged for people to visit the bookcarver and buy the utensils of the bookstore.

None of this is too difficult, but the most important thing is to buy the thousands of books on that list.

Xu Yan saw that Shen Yan was doing with great interest, so he also helped a few times from time to time, and the husband and wife were doing a good job, but there was movement from Emperor Huiping, and on a snowy morning in mid-November, he called someone to urgently summon Xu Yan into the palace.

It was the apprentice of the great eunuch Duan Bao who came to pass the edict, Xu Yan knew that there was something important to do, so he immediately tidied up his clothes and hurriedly entered the palace.
