"Queen Mother, the eldest princess has sent someone to pick up Princess Zhaohua." There are palace people at the entrance of the main hall to report.

When Princess Zhaohua heard this, her face changed drastically, her expression became painful, she grabbed the queen's sleeve and pleaded in a low voice: "Queen Mother! You tell them I'm sick! I'll need to recuperate with you for a few days! Don't send me back to the eldest princess! I don't want to go! ”

The queen glanced at her, and indifferently broke her fingers one by one: "Zhaohua, let you follow the eldest princess to learn the rules, it is your father's will, the queen mother has already pretended to recuperate from illness, and will keep you for three days, I'm afraid you can't stay anymore, so you can go back." ”

"Queen Mother!" Zhaohua was in a hurry.

At the same time resentful.

Why? Why didn't the queen mother do her best to protect her? She is the queen, as long as she has a tough attitude, can the eldest princess still forcibly send someone to take her away?

It's just because I'm a princess, not a prince!

"It's your father's decree, you want this palace to disobey the emperor's order and be punished with you, so that you are happy?" The queen saw through her daughter's thoughts at a glance, and said a little angrily.

"My daughter didn't."

Princess Zhaohua retracted her gaze in embarrassment, and the palace people outside repeatedly urged, but she was still indifferent.

The queen had no choice but to take Princess Zhaohua's hand by herself, send her outside the palace, and hand her over to the eldest princess's people.

"The queen is bothered."

The palace people were very polite, and after saluting the queen, they looked at Zhaohua and said politely: "Princess, it's time to learn etiquette today, please come with the slave." ”

Princess Zhaohua kept looking at the queen, expecting her to say a word to save herself.

But from beginning to end, the queen didn't speak, and after handing her over to those palace people, she turned her head and was helped back to Kunning Palace by the palace people.

"Princess! Let's go! ”

Princess Zhaohua suddenly retracted her gaze in disappointment, and left with heavy steps.

Although she walked slowly, Yongshou Palace still arrived.

Princess Zhaohua had lost her arrogance in front of the palace people, and the whole person became cautious, slowly raising her feet and walking into the palace.

However, today, the eldest princess of Zhaoyang is not there.

Only Mama Qi under her hand was waiting for her in the main hall, and when she saw Princess Zhaohua, she saluted and said: "The eldest princess has explained, after the princess comes back, she will first go to the top of the Buddhist hall to think about it for two hours!" After that, wait for her to come back and dispose of it. ”

"I didn't do anything wrong, why should you punish me!" Princess Zhaohua screamed.

"Did the princess really make a mistake?" Mama Qi sneered when she heard this, looked at her and said, "The princess's words and deeds, the slaves and maids are all going to report to Your Majesty." ”

Princess Zhaohua immediately wilted when she heard this.

As the old saying goes, the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and now she is a princess and is suppressed by a minion! It's so deceitful! It's too much of a deception!

I kept roaring in my heart, but I didn't dare to resist, and slowly got up and walked towards the Buddha Hall of Yongshou Palace, where it was dark, and only a small square Buddha Hall was lit with a fluorescent candle flame all year round, and as soon as Princess Zhaohua walked in, Mama Qi closed the two heavy wooden doors outside.

Suddenly, in the huge Buddha hall, only Princess Zhaohua was left, and she screamed in this claustrophobic environment.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to her anymore.

……

Shen Nianzhen's canonization of the county lord caused an uproar in Shangjing.

Those daughters who had sneered at her at the banquet were all remorseful, for fear that Shen Nianzhen would hold a grudge and settle accounts with them in the future, among these people, there were also the old ladies of the Liao family who also regretted it very much, and kept saying to the two granddaughters: "My wife is confused, fortunately, you two have never snubbed Miss Shen, and now, no matter how much you make up for it, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Shen family to eliminate the mustard." ”

"Grandmother, no."

Liao Kanglan said with a smile: "If Sister Shen is really mustard, she will not be invited to play at home, and I also ask my grandmother not to take the outside comments seriously in the future, and follow the crowd." What kind of person is Sister Shen, I don't know it outside, don't we know it? ”

"That's right, my wife is not as sincere as the two of you."

Mrs. Liao nodded when she heard this, and said with emotion: "Wait a few days, you will invite her to come over to play again, this time, we will make up for it." ”

"Grandmother, I'm afraid that Sister Shen will be very busy next." Liao Yulan said: "Your Majesty decreed that she be canonized as the county lord, doesn't she need to go into the palace to thank her?" Besides, after she came back, she hadn't gone to see Concubine Qi yet. ”

That's right.

Old Mrs. Liao nodded immediately when she heard this: "It's better for you two to be thoughtful, we have the two of you in our family, which is a blessing for the family!" ”

Compared with the envy of others, Shen Nianzhen was worried about entering the palace to thank him.

In this life, plus in her life, she has never received such a reward, and she really doesn't know how to deal with it, especially after entering the palace, it is inevitable to see the queen.

After the last time he entered the palace to meet the queen, the shadow left behind was still there, and Shen Nian was really afraid.

"The emperor commended and canonized, the queen didn't dare to calculate or anything, it was a slap in the face of the emperor." Old Madam Shen comforted her and said, "And there is still the second prince here, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Shen Nianzhen didn't want the old man to worry about him, so he nodded and responded obediently: "Granddaughter knows." ”

The next day, it was the day when Shen Nianzhen entered the palace to thank him.

She got up early in the morning, bathed, changed clothes and washed, and changed the new clothes she prepared one after another, Mrs. Shen was still not very satisfied, and always felt that something was missing, until the sky was bright and the sun was rising, and the second prince had already come to pick up people, and Mrs. Shen finally made up her mind to let Shen Nianzhen wear that tender yellow embroidered hibiscus placket today, with a white pleated skirt, the whole person is dressed refreshing, delicate and cute, and it is beautiful for fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls.

Shen Nianzhen's temperament was originally a little more cold than others, and such a rich and magnificent dress neutralized this temperament and gave her a unique beauty.

"Okay, okay, just dress up like that." Old Lady Shen nodded with satisfaction, and then let her go.

When he got out of the mansion, he saw Rong Chen and got into the carriage together, Rong Chen kept looking at her intently, and when he saw Shen Nianzhen bowing his head in shame, he said half-jokingly: "You are beautiful today." ”

"Am I not beautiful one day?" Shen Nianzhen asked rhetorically.

Rong Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's this palace who said the wrong thing, you are beautiful every day." ”

"How is it better than your cousin Su Muwan?" Shen Nianzhen said smoothly.

As soon as the words came out, she regretted it a little.

Why bring up such a sensitive topic!

Rong Chen was also stunned for a moment, and then his smile remained unchanged: "You look good." ”

That's a bit boring.

Shen Nianzhen stuck out his tongue and stopped the topic.

When their carriage was about to arrive at the palace, it suddenly stopped, Rong Chen lifted the curtain and looked out, and then turned back to Shen Nianzhen and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, there are some things to deal with in this palace, let Nanfeng send you into the palace, don't worry, I will go to you soon, and I won't let people bully you." ”

Shen Nianzhen was very curious about what Rong Chen could do at this time, but he didn't say anything, so she didn't ask, and nodded when she heard the words: "Your Highness is busy, it's okay for me to enter the palace by myself, anyway, I've been there several times." ”

As he spoke, he smiled.

Rong Chen looked at her smile, and immediately felt itchy, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one on the street, he suddenly lowered his head, and quickly kissed Shen Nianzhen's pink and fair cheek, and then opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but be stunned, and his face turned red.

When she reacted, there was no longer Rong Chen's figure in front of her, she immediately smiled and scolded 'Deng's apprentice', and then ordered Nanfeng to continue to drive to the palace.

"County Lord, your temper is really good, in the past, when Miss Su went out with our Royal Highness, if she encountered such a situation, she would have cried and made trouble a long time ago." While catching the car, Nanfeng said with emotion: "Normally, at this time, our Highness can't do anything at all, so she can only stay and coax her, she is really too willful." ”

Su Muwan is too willful?

Shen Nianzhen listened in a daze, imagining the scene of Rong Chen hurriedly coaxing Su Muwan, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

Nanfeng did not hear her answer, so he stopped talking and concentrated on his journey.

However, it was not long before the carriage suddenly jolted and stopped again.

Shen Nianzhen was just about to ask, when he heard Nanfeng say outside: "County Lord, the road ahead is blocked, and we can't enter the palace." ”

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he immediately lifted the corner of the carriage curtain and looked out.

Sure enough, there were many carriages parked on the wide street in front, and the crowd was like a tide, blocking the street, Shen Nianzhen asked curiously, "What's going on ahead?" Why so many people? ”

"It seems that a person of different races with blue eyes is performing on the streets, and many people are watching the excitement." Nanfeng said: "County Lord, do you want your subordinates to go over and take a look?" ”

"No need, it's important to enter the palace." Shen Nianzhen shook his head when he heard this: "Look at this crowd, I'm afraid it won't be able to disperse for a while." There are no other roads around here, so we divert to the palace. ”

"Yes, there is, but the alley is too narrow, and you need to take some long detours." Nanfeng replied: "It's too late in time, I don't know if the county lord is willing?" ”

"Let's take a detour, then." Shen Nianzhen replied: "The first time I entered the palace to thank you, it's not good to be late." ”

Nanfeng agreed, and immediately turned the carriage around, and turned into a deep alley beside it, and the carriage jolted slightly, proving that the road was not as easy as before.

In this Shangjing, outside the palace, there are still such remote alleys?

Shen Nian was really surprised, but not long after the carriage entered the alley, it stopped again, and it was forced to stop.

The sound of breaking the sky sounded in all directions.

The sound of tuk tuk tuk tuk kept ringing, I don't know how many arrows, all of them were shot on the wall of the carriage, the south wind outside the carriage had jumped up, pulled out a long knife, brandished a sword flower, and cut off the arrows one by one, trying not to shoot into the carriage.

The carriage swayed gently......

Shen Nianzhen was frightened in the carriage, his heart was pounding violently, who would do it this time? also specially transferred Rong Chen away before he started! Now she is the only one by her side!

With a bang, an arrow shot in from the outside, and suddenly nailed it to the wall of the carriage next to Shen Nianzhen's ear, so frightened that she didn't dare to move.

Oh, my God! Is she going to die today? Died in such a remote alley......

As soon as he thought this, the muffled snort of the south wind was heard outside.

"South wind! What happened to you? Shen Nianzhen asked worriedly.

"Back to the county lord, my subordinates are a little injured, and they are not in the way." Nanfeng wielded his long knife desperately, fighting with the black-clothed masked assassins who suddenly appeared in the dark alleys, he had to kill the enemy, and he had to guard in front of the carriage to protect Shen Nianzhen, it was inevitable that he would be overstretched.

"South wind! Send a signal to your Highness! You can't hold it alone! Shen Nianzhen also heard the sound of fighting outside, and knew that there were quite a few people who came to assassinate, so he immediately shouted to Nanfeng.

Nanfeng nodded when he heard this, said hello, and took advantage of the gap in the fight to release a firework in the air.

The moment the fireworks exploded, the sound of the fight outside suddenly became intense.

There were also countless hands that wanted to pull open the curtain of the carriage and slip Shen Nianzhen out of the carriage, but they were all repelled by the south wind.

Although she was not in danger for the time being, Nanfeng could not hold out for long.

If no reinforcements arrive by then, then she and Nanfeng will both die together.

Because she was going to enter the palace today, Shen Nianzhen didn't carry the dagger that she always carried on her body on weekdays, and at the moment, even if she was in a hurry, there was no way, and the hand that suddenly came in from outside the car window was beaten out by her with teapots, teacups and other things.

But the good times didn't last long, and what came in was followed by a cold sword.

Shen Nian really couldn't hide.

Rong Chen silently called out in her heart, and she gave up struggling.

However, at this moment, among the sounds of fighting outside, there were suddenly more heavy footsteps, getting closer and closer.

At the same time, the fighting stopped.

Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but lift the corner of the curtain and look out, only to see that in the alley not far ahead, dozens of Praetorian Guards wearing heavy armor came in a line, rushing towards this side with a murderous aura.

Seeing that the rescuers were coming, and that Nanfeng was desperately resisting, they couldn't do anything to Shen Nianzhen, who was sitting in the carriage, so they stopped fighting, and jumped up one by one, running through the towering eaves on both sides of the alley, and fled.

It all happened in an instant.

Shen Nianzhen looked at those Praetorian Guards in surprise, and couldn't help but ask Nanfeng, "Is it that the Second Highness has come down?" I'll tell you to contact him! It really worked! ”

"The county lord...... It's like...... Not the people of our Highness. Faced with her question, Nanfeng suddenly hesitated.

"What? Not the Second Highness? Who would that be? ”

Shen Nianzhen asked in surprise.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the Praetorian Guards had all stopped, and one by one they had made way out of the middle path.

After a while, a wheelchair appeared in view.

There was a young man in white who was sitting in the wheelchair, with warm eyes, smiling lips, and the appearance of a beautiful son, but it was Rong Yao, another prince in the forbidden forest that day.

Seeing this person again, Shen Nianzhen only had indignation in his heart.

She looked at Rong Yao coldly and asked, "Isn't the eldest prince recuperating in the suburbs of Beijing?" How did it end up here? This seems to be a violation of your oath never to enter Beijing, right? “

"Miss Shen, there doesn't seem to be a place to be sorry for you in this palace before."

The wheelchair stopped in front of the carriage, Rong Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and asked gently, "Why are you looking at me with such an enemy's eyes?" ”

He looked confused.

The two eyebrows are delicately wrinkled together.

Shen Nianzhen looked at him coldly, as well as the expressionless fish intestine hiding behind him, she thought that it was the eldest prince who sent the fish intestine to put her and Rong Chen to death, and then said coldly: "There is no place to be sorry for me?" Hehe, Your Highness really likes to laugh, killing people behind your back, but you look innocent in person, Your Highness, your face changes back and forth, is it interesting? ”

"Murder in the back?" Rong Yao raised his eyebrows, looked at Shen Nianzhen and said slowly: "Miss Shen, it seems that there are many misunderstandings between us. ”

"County Lord."

Shen Nianzhen looked at him and said word by word: "I am now the county lord of Roujia canonized by His Majesty. ”

"Huh." The eldest prince smiled when he heard this, and said casually: "Every time my father feels ashamed of others, or feels that someone has been wronged, he is used to using such a trick to appease others, but can a mere canonization offset what others have lost?" ”

"What do you mean?" Shen Nianzhen frowned when he heard this, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Miss Shen, you are a smart person, you should understand what I mean." Rong Yao looked at her and smiled.

This appearance is very different from when we met in the Forbidden Forest that day.

It's like a different person.

Which one is the real prince?

"There seems to be a lot of misunderstanding between us, but it doesn't matter, this palace came today to resolve the misunderstanding." The eldest prince smiled slightly, looked at her and said, "Miss Shen, this palace can meet one condition for you, you can mention it, you were in the forbidden forest before, and this palace will not live for you." ”

"Really? So what do I want you to do? Shen Nianzhen said unceremoniously.

"Miss Shen, you should know that this is unattainable." Rong Yao smiled when he heard this, and then said slowly: "It is impossible for this palace to die. ”

"Then your promise is just empty words."

Shen Nianzhen said disdainfully, suddenly got up and got out of the carriage, picked up a blood-stained long sword from the ground, and with the support of the south wind, walked in front of Rong Yao step by step, slowly raised the tip of the sword, and pointed it at him.

"Your Highness! It can't be like this anymore! The fish intestine was anxious, and immediately opened his mouth to persuade him.

However, Rong Yao's expression did not change, his two warm eyes looked at Shen Nianzhen, smiled slightly, and said, "Miss Shen, have you thought about it?" ”

"I've figured it out."

As soon as Shen Nianzhen finished speaking, the tip of the sword stabbed forward.

Suddenly stabbed the fish intestine in the chest, and the tip of the sword pierced more than an inch deep into the skin, and blood immediately gushed out.

"You ......" the fish intestine turned pale for a moment.

Shen Nianzhen took back the long sword, looked at him and said coldly: "You put me to death at the beginning, you didn't expect that there would be today, right?" ”
