When Shen Congqian entered the courtyard, he saw that Jinxiu was instructing Mu Li and Ji Xiang Ruyi to write that night. The three servants sat in a row around a long table, all writing hard there. She circled around them, taking unhurried steps, her posture looked leisurely, but she was a poisonous-eyed person, and she pointed it out if anyone couldn't write well, completely selfless.

Shen Congqian smiled, she was really different from ordinary famous girls. Since ancient times, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, how can there be a reason for the master to guide the subordinates to write, how can she not know to avoid people? There is such a mother-in-law at the door, and the news of her coming to the Star Picking Tower has already reached the ears of the county lord. She did this on purpose, she wanted to show her!

At this point, I have to admit that Shen Congqian is thinking too much. Nalan Jinxiu was supposed to guide them to write, she just felt that there was no need to deliberately avoid this kind of thing, after all, her father and brother treated everyone like a family. Lanyue Tower, there are often guards and brothers to eat together, everyone has a big table, there is no respect for inferiority, and the food is very happy.

To be honest, Nalan Jinxiu likes this kind of atmosphere, and he also has the intention to continue the atmosphere of Zhenbei Wangfu. When people come to this world, they have to endure a lot of suffering, which is the truth that she understands in her two lives. Buddhism clouds all living beings are suffering, in fact, this is what it means. Since they are all here to endure hardship, why can't they help each other, so that the pain can be shared, and the happiness can be shared.

Her little stepmother, after becoming the owner of Cangwu Ballad, Ann gave birth for a few days. Now it is the whole backyard of the big and small affairs are subject to her jurisdiction, she said that there are no rules, there is no circle, the next person should have the appearance of the next person, and the master must also have the attitude of the master.

Of course, what she said is right, rules are very important in the courtyard of the deep mansion in Jinling City. In the Zhenbei Palace, every guard is highly trained, and they know what can be offended and what is resolutely not to touch.

Even Chiyang City often has wars, and they will use their flesh and blood to protect their masters when danger comes. Let them treat each other with their lives, on what basis? Just by rules? No, in the face of the test of life and death, those rules are worthless. It is emotion that keeps them from abandoning and repaying their loyalty.

Nalan Jinxiu doesn't want to care about the affairs in Zhenbei Wangfu, but the Star Picking Tower is her person, and she is on her own territory, so there is no need to cater to anyone. No matter what she did, whether it was in the way of her stepmother's eyes, she wasn't ready to change.

Shen Congqian didn't say anything, but leaned over to watch Mu Li write. Shen Congqian is known as a talented woman in Jinling, and she is all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Who knew that she praised it, the writing was good, and the progress was fast.

Of course, Nalan Jinxiu would not be naïve enough to think that she was telling the truth. Mu Li naturally knew it. He originally wanted to get up, how could there be a reason for the guards to sit in front of the master, but when she saw that the county lord signaled him to continue writing, he sat still and continued to copy the book.

"I see that you always go out, thinking that you have something to do outside, and I am afraid that you will be tired, so I specially asked the kitchen to stew a cup of pigeon soup for you, you can taste it or not. Shen Congqian took Nalan Jinxiu's hand, and it was not good to be close.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Nalan Jinxiu knew that she came to pick up the Star Tower, and it would not be as simple as sending her a soup. But since they didn't explain their origins, she pretended not to know, anyway, now the two of them are pretending to be stupid with each other.

"Naturally, the things made in my mother's kitchenette are good. ”

"It's all homely, and it's not necessarily how good it is. ”

"That's not necessarily, I see that your cook is a good cook, and it is not in vain that you have traveled thousands of miles from Jinling to bring her. ”

Shen Congqian said with a smile: "Bringing a cook all the way is indeed a bit laughable to say, but I am used to the food she cooks." My mother was afraid that I would be homesick here, so she asked me to bring her here. ”

"You brought the cook, and I can eat authentic Jinling cuisine, so I have to thank my grandmother. ”

"Then go in and try it, if she doesn't make it to your taste, just tell me." She is not good at anything else, Jinling cuisine is still good, which one you want to eat can be directly ordered to make it. ”

Nalan Jinxiu drank pigeon soup and gossiped with Shen Congqian. It stands to reason that Shen Congqian has no other shortcomings except for the many rules and the heavy habits of the master. For example, she has always cared for Nalan Jinxiu, not only like the elders caring for the younger generations, but also like the mutual care between sisters.

Casting it with a peach and repaying it with a plum has always been the rule of Nalan Jinxiu. It stands to reason that she shouldn't hate Shen Congqi, but she can't tell where that defensive state in her heart comes from. is that kind of person's illusory sixth sense, which makes her dislike Shen Congqian very much.

Maybe it's because Shen Congqian is too good to her! A daughter of a noble family, twenty-eight years old, raised like golden branches and jade leaves at home, how can she be willing to condescend to be good to others when she comes here. Nalan Jinxiu has not shown her favor so far. Not interfering with each other and treating each other politely is the most comfortable mode of getting along with her, and there is no need to be too close or change.

Actually, Nalan Jinxiu didn't know that everything Shen Congqian was doing to her now was to win her favor and reduce his defense against her. By the day Nalan Jinxiu really came to his senses, it would be too late. After all, she is still too immature to know how sinister people's hearts are.

After a month without incident, one day, Shen Congqian suddenly came to look for her. She came to the Star Picking Tower alone, and she didn't even bring her personal maid Cuizhu. Nalan Jinxiu couldn't help but be a little puzzled when she saw that her face was pale and she looked like she had just cried.

"Sheng'er, I'm done, I'm done!" Shen Congqian hugged her and cried loudly.

"What's wrong with you? Don't cry yet, tell me what's going on?"

Shen Congqian cried for a while before saying to her, "I'm pregnant." ”

"Pregnant?" Nalan Jinxiu's eyes widened, her father was the king of Zhenbei, and he had never met his new princess, where did the child come from?

"It's been more than a month, and I just found out that I didn't come to Aoi Shui. ”

"You...... How do you know for sure?"

"I'm out looking for a doctor. After Shen Congqian finished speaking, he explained incoherently: "I'm in disguise, no one will recognize me, my brain is already in a mess now, I don't know what to do?" Sheng'er, you are a doctor, you can think of a way for me." ”

In the past month, Shen Congqian has come to pick up the star tower almost every day, and he is also clear about Nalan Jinxiu's practice of medicine abroad. Nalan Jinxiu didn't intend to hide it from her, the two of them already lived together in Zhenbei Wangfu, and there was no one here to protect her like the third brother, so she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.

"Don't get excited, sit down, I'll cut your pulse. ”

Shen Congqian sat down, and Nalan Jinxiu carefully diagnosed it twice, and made sure it was right. She was indeed pregnant. This made Nalan Jinxiu a little at a loss, after all, she had never had this kind of experience in two lifetimes. In particular, the child in Shen Congqi's belly is not the king of Zhenbei, and if this matter is known, it will kill her.

"You ......" Nalan Jinxiu didn't know what to say for a while.

"Ask whatever you want, there's nothing worse than that. ”

"Who is the father of the child?"

Shen Congqian closed her eyes, two lines of tears fell down her pale cheeks, and she whispered, "He is in Jinling." ”

"You ......"

"We truly love each other, and he is my bodyguard, just like you and Mu Li. ”
