It's not timid at all, and it can even be said that it's a little bit ...... Bold.

But he likes it!

is not pretentious, straightforward, and daring, such a character is worthy of the position of the second princess, isn't it?

"Let's go, this palace will send you home." Rong Chen smiled and took Shen Nianzhen's hand, led her all the way out of the palace, and took the carriage with great difficulty, and personally sent her back to Shen's house: "Nianzhen, tonight, you really slapped the queen in the face, and she will definitely retaliate against you in the future." ”

"Aren't you there?" Shen Nianzhen was busy all day, and at this moment she was very tired, as soon as she got into the carriage, she leaned her head against the wall of the carriage and closed her eyes to recuperate, and replied lazily when she heard the words: "Could it be that you can't be my dependence?" ”

When Rong Chen heard this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his smile was charming: "It turns out that you already know that this palace is your reliance, and you dare to do whatever you want by relying on this palace?" ”

"I'm not called doing whatever I want."

Shen Nianzhen opened his eyes and glanced at him when he heard this, then sat up and replied seriously: "When I entered the palace tonight, I planned to fight for my life and seek justice for the sister of the Zhu family." At that time, I didn't think about the consequences at all. ”

"Is it worth it for someone you've only met a few times?" Rong Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

"It depends on who it is, for Sister Zhu, I'm willing to do this."

"What if it's Hongu?" Rong Chen suddenly approached, the tip of his nose almost rubbed Shen Nianzhen, stared at her eyes motionlessly, and slowly asked, "If one day, this palace also encounters something, will you also work so hard for this palace?" ”

Shen Nianzhen turned aside uncomfortably, and stretched out his hand to push him: "What the prince said, when you were grounded by Your Majesty, I never gave up, and even in order to comfort your mother, I was almost disfigured by the queen mother, don't you remember these things?" ”

Rong Chen has not forgotten these things.

But he just stubbornly wanted to hear a sentence from Shen Nianzhen's mouth, and the person he cared about the most was himself.

I don't know why, looking at Shen Nianzhen's beautiful face, these words came out of those red lips like petals, which is simply the most wonderful thing in the world.

It's a pity that Shen Nianzhen just rolled his eyes.

"Lord Wang, why are you still so naïve, hasn't the person you like always be Su Muwan? On that day in the temple, you listened to her informant and deliberately stayed in my room to catch the adulterer, right? It's a pity that even Su Yunmu is the one who was used by her! ”

"Are you jealous?" When Rong Chen heard this, his two eyes looked at Shen Nianzhen brightly, his handsome and incomparable face, coupled with such a smile, could almost drown people in it.

Shen Nianzhen took a deep breath, silently turned his head to look aside, and secretly cursed a demon in his heart.

"Okay, it was Hongu's fault that day, and Hongu apologizes to you." Rong Chen stretched out his hand, grabbed Shen Nianzhen's sleeve, pulled her back to him little by little, stretched out his other hand to gently press her head and lean on his shoulder, and said softly: "There is still some distance from the Shen family, if you are sleepy, you can lean on this king and sleep for a while." ”

Shen Nianzhen looked at his warm gaze and slowly closed his eyes.

Rong Chen smelled the faint fragrance of the woman in his arms, and only felt extremely happy, he also closed his eyes and rested.

The carriage staggered through the streets in the dark night and headed straight for Shen's house.

The warm time always passed quickly, and in the impression that Rong Chen felt that not long after he closed his eyes, the carriage stopped, and then the voice of the south wind sounded outside: "Lord Wang, the Shen family has arrived." ”

Rong Chen opened his eyes, looked down at Shen Nianzhen, and was just about to open his mouth to wake her up, but Shen Nianzhen opened his eyes and sat up suddenly.

"Thank you for accompanying me tonight, and you can go back to the house early to rest." Shen Nianzhen nodded politely at Rong Chen, then got up and got out of the carriage.

Rong Chen sat in the carriage and did not move, watching intently as Shen Nianzhen walked towards the mansion with the servants who came to pick up the Shen family, and when he walked to the door, he turned his head to look at her again.

Rong Chen hooked the corners of his mouth and showed a smile.

Shen Nianzhen also smiled slightly, and then entered the door.

There was a heavy creak from the door of the Shen family, and then silence was restored, except for the dim glow of the two lanterns under the eaves.

Rong Chen watched quietly for a moment, withdrew his gaze, and told Nanfeng to turn around and return to the prince's mansion in a deep voice.

Nanfeng said cautiously: "Lord Wang, next time my subordinates will drive the carriage around the Shen family, and then stop......"

Rong Chen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he understood what he meant.

He smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "No, go home." ”

Shen Nianzhen returned to the mansion, first went to Chunhui Courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a dim light on the window lattice, and the old lady really didn't fall asleep.

She stood on the steps and steadied, then stepped forward as if nothing had happened, and reached out to push the door in.

"The eldest lady is back?" Mama Zhou was guarding the door, and when she saw her coming in, she was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly went into the house, telling the little maid to get supper and prepare hot tea.

Old Mrs. Shen sat on the couch, saw her come in, and immediately helped the maid's hand to the ground, and trembled to meet her and asked with a nervous face: "How is it?" Is there any news of your eldest brother? How is the investigation of the Zhu family's affairs? ”

"Grandmother, tonight, my granddaughter did a big thing."

Shen Nianzhen spoke slowly, how to provoke Princess Zhaohua's anger after entering the palace, forcing her to ignore the truth of the matter, and said it one by one.

"Nian Zhen! How dare you! How dare you ......"

Old Lady Shen was taken aback when she heard this, and looked at Shen Nianzhen tremblingly, but she was speechless.

Her granddaughter is really bold!

That's a princess! Beating his daughter in front of the emperor, Shen Nianzhen is dead!

"Grandmother and granddaughter can't have children." Shen Nianzhen smiled bitterly and explained: "Princess Zhaohua is reckless, her eyes are above the top, no one pays attention to her, she acts unscrupulously, if she is not taught a lesson this time, I am afraid that she will do even crazier things next time!" We can't get along with the Zhu family, and my eldest brother can't marry a daughter-in-law in his life! Our family is going to be miserable by her! ”

"Only by exposing her true face in front of the emperor and letting the emperor punish her, it is best to quickly set a family affair for her, so that our family can be better."

Old Lady Shen listened in a daze, unable to speak at all.

"There is another benefit, Your Majesty has already sent someone to personally go to the bottom of the cliff to find someone." Shen Nianzhen continued: "I can find the elder sister and eldest brother of the Zhu family earlier." ”

When Mrs. Shen heard the last sentence, her stunned expression finally changed.

She held Shen Nianzhen's hand and asked nervously and expectantly, "What you said is true?" Your Majesty sent someone to find them? Thank goodness for that! ”

"Yes, such a big thing happens, and it concerns the princess, Your Majesty naturally can't sit idly by." Shen Nianzhen said with a smile when he heard this: "This is also the reason why I must enter the palace......"

"Nian Zhen, you're still too impulsive." Old Madam Shen looked at her and sighed: "After all, it's a princess, how can you, how can you...... What about doing it in front of His Majesty? It's also too ......."

"Grandmother, if you don't do it, you won't be able to provoke Princess Zhaohua's anger at all, and she won't tell the truth." Shen Nianzhen blinked his eyes and said, "What's more, with His Royal Highness the Second Prince here, he won't watch me suffer." ”

Old Lady Shen suddenly lost her temper.

Looking at Shen Nianzhen's expression, he now has a good impression of the second prince's fiancé.

That's a good thing.

Mrs. Shen, who had been worried for a day and a night, suddenly felt a trace of comfort in her heart.

At this time, Mama Zhou walked in from outside with a food box and said with a smile: "Miss, come and have a supper." ”

Shen Nianzhen had been busy for a day, almost no water and rice had been eaten, and when he saw the food, he suddenly became happy, and walked over to sit at the table and devoured it. Mama Zhou brought a bowl of specially boiled pear blossom soup to feed the old lady, but it was refused, and the old lady couldn't eat it.

"Take it to the eldest lady to eat."

"Yes, old lady." Mama Zhou agreed with a smile.

Shen Nianzhen was full, and he didn't bother to go back to his yard to rest, so he went to take a bath, stayed in the west wing, and fell asleep immediately as soon as he fell on the pillow.

Mama Zhou took a look, went back and said to Mrs. Shen in great distress: "The eldest lady is really tired today, although she is a little impulsive today, but it is for the eldest young master and Miss Zhu family, you, don't always reprimand her." ”

"Of course I know she's for Yunlan." Old Lady Shen sighed and said, "I'm not reprimanding, but I'm really worried about her, you said that she is a little girl, so domineering and arrogant, this has to be spread, I'm afraid that her reputation is not very good......

She expected it well, the next day, the palace, and even the entire Shangjing, began to spread that Shen Nianzhen was arrogant and domineering, and actually slapped Princess Zhaohua in front of the emperor.

But the queen didn't say a word about why Shen Nianzhen did this.

When Shen Nianzhen heard these rumors, he just smiled slightly, and didn't take it to heart, and said indignantly: "Miss, can you bear this?" The people outside almost say that you are a tigress, a sea yaksha, fierce and vicious......"

"Let them go, after a long time, everyone can still see who is evil." Shen Nianzhen still didn't care, just flipped through a booklet in her hand, which she borrowed from Shen Chong's study, which contained descriptions of the various landforms and maps of Shangjing.

Seeing her like that, I couldn't help but feel anxious.

However, in just half a day, the gossip outside has undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Miss! Miss! Picturesque rushed in from outside with a cheerful face, and said with her eyebrows fluttering: "Princess Zhaohua bought someone to do tricks and feet on Miss Zhu's carriage, and the story of the victim falling off the cliff has spread all over Beijing!" Everyone is saying that Miss Zhu fell off the cliff, and the commander of Xiao Shen was not afraid of hardships and hardships, and sacrificed himself to go down the cliff to save his fiancée, what a good son! ”

"Really?" Shen Nianzhen was very interested in this rumor, and when he heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the picturesque: "Can you find out, who spread these words?" ”

"It's the eldest princess of Zhaoyang!" Picturesque said with great interest: "Princess Zhaoyang participated in the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Guogong Mansion today, and she said it herself at the banquet!" ”

"The eldest princess of Zhaoyang?" Shen Nianzhen was very surprised when she heard this, she never expected that the eldest princess of Zhaoyang would actually help her breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes! Miss! Like a thrush flying color danced: "I heard that the queen has been trying her best to suppress the affairs of Yongchang Bofu, but the temple on the outskirts of Beijing is not royal, everyone can go, there are many people in Beijing who know about this, where she wants to suppress it can be suppressed, now it's okay, everyone is talking more energetically, Princess Zhaohua this time, it can be regarded as a reputation for being evil-minded." ”

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he didn't feel much happier in his heart.

To this day, there is still no news coming, and no one knows whether the eldest brother and the elder sister of the Zhu family are alive or dead now.

And in Shangjing, there is still a turbulent storm, an undercurrent surging, and there is no moment of peace.

Under such circumstances, Shen Nianzhen really wanted to take someone to look for someone under the cliff in person, but Mrs. Shen did not allow her to go out, and her attitude was very resolute: "Zhen'er, you listen to your grandmother's words, just stay at home, the queen must be trying to find your mistakes, why bother to hand the handle into her hand?" You've done everything you had to do, and the rest, leave it to fate! ”

Shen Nianzhen wanted to say, why should she resign herself to fate, people have to fight for it on their own!

But she didn't argue with Mrs. Shen, she obediently responded when she heard the words, and then led Ruhua to stay in the west chamber and read quietly.

Mrs. Shen was afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so she specially sent someone to call Shen Nianzhu to accompany her, and Shen Nianzhu didn't know how to comfort her, so she changed the topic and said, "Big sister, do you know?" The second sister is pregnant. ”

"What? You mean......"

Shen Nianzhen hadn't heard the name Shen Nianci for a long time, but she remembered that Shen Nianci's wedding date was a month later, and now it hadn't arrived, so how could she ......

"The second lady doesn't go back to the third master now, she stays in the Lu family all day, it's not surprising that she is pregnant." Picturesque opening.

Shen Nianzhen thought about it, and said with emotion at the moment: "The two of them are too unscrupulous, and their reputation will be even worse." But presumably, the second sister doesn't care. ”

Now that his wish has been fulfilled, I don't know if Shen Nianci is happy?

"Big sister, I heard that you entered the palace yesterday." Shen Nianzhu looked at her and asked slowly, "You also beat Princess Zhaohua, did you?" ”

"Yes." Shen Nianzhen nodded when he heard this: "That slap was returned for Miss Zhu." ”

Shen Nianzhu's eyes widened when she heard this, and she looked at Shen Nianzhen in disbelief.

The big sister, who has always been selfish, is now working so hard for a girl who has only met a few times, and she is really not the same as in the past.

Thinking about it, the corners of her mouth turned up, and a smile slowly appeared.

"Big sister, I'm here today, and I have one more thing to tell you." Shen Nianzhu suddenly lowered her voice, approached Shen Nianzhen and said: "Yesterday, I met the second son of Su, and I heard him reveal that the reason why Princess Zhaohua did something to the sister of the Zhu family seems to have been bewitched......

"Are you saying that someone is using Princess Zhaohua to do something to the sister of the Zhu family?" Shen Nianzhen's face changed suddenly when he heard this.

"I guess so." Shen Nianzhu said: "But that's all I know, Su Ergongzi seems to have lost his words, and he regretted saying this very much, and when I asked again, he refused to say anything, and I was angry and beat him off the wall with a bamboo pole." ”

Shen Nianzhu used a bamboo pole to knock down Su Yunmu, who had climbed the wall again, from the wall?

The more I listen to this, the funnier it becomes.

"You're doing a good job, next time he'll do it again." Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but laugh and said: "This kind of prodigal son can't give him a good look." ”

Shen Nianzhu said in her heart, if she didn't give Su Yunmu a good look, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to ask anything useful, but in front of Shen Nianzhen, she didn't say anything, just nodded and agreed: "Okay, I remember." ”

After sending Shen Nianzhu away, Shen Nianzhen's face immediately sank, and she thought bitterly in her heart, who tricked Princess Zhaohua into doing it to Miss Zhu? Who could it be?

Su Muwan's figure appeared in front of her, Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but shake her head, no, it shouldn't be her, Su Muwan is just the concubine of the Taishi Mansion, even if she is about to marry His Royal Highness the Third Prince, it is impossible for her to have such a great ability.

It seems that if you want to investigate this matter, you have to borrow external forces.

Shen Nianzhen immediately wrote a letter and asked someone to send it to Rong Chen.

When Rong Chen received the letter, he was very surprised, if Shen Nian was really fine, it would be impossible to write to him, but now he wrote it.

What could be in this letter? Is it a word of admiration to yourself? Her own princess has finally opened her mind?

Rong Chen couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, with a smile in his eyes, and opened the letter slowly in front of the south wind.

However, there was only one sentence in the letter: investigate who has been very close to Princess Zhaohua recently.

Without?

Rong Chen couldn't help but look at the letter paper over and over again, but he didn't find a word or a love poem, and he couldn't help but be deeply disappointed for a moment, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"Your Highness, but something has happened?" Nanfeng observed his expression and couldn't help but say, "If that's the case, the subordinates are at their disposal......"

"Go down first, and take the letter." Rong Chen threw the letter to him, turned around angrily and went back to the house.

South Wind: "......"

He reached out and took down the letter he threw over, looked down, and finally understood why his master had this expression, it turned out that he was angry with Miss Shen.

"Investigate who is close to Princess Zhaohua......" Nanfeng took the letter and said to himself as he walked out, who could this be?

"Wait!" Rong Chen in the room suddenly said: "Leave the letter paper." ”

Nanfeng turned around in surprise.
