After Zhong Xiaoshu heard the voice, he immediately raised his head and saw a man and a woman standing at the door of the pastry shop, this man was about 45 years old, wearing bright yellow palace clothes.

Although Zhong Xiaoshu and his entourage did not come to Xichuan for a short time, they also knew that this bright yellow palace dress was a formal dress that only the royal family deserved.

And beside her stood a thin woman, although that face had never been seen before, but the figure and voice were obviously acquaintances.

After watching it for a long time, Zhong Xiaoshu was shocked, and his fists clenched: "It's her!" Ning Shuyan! ”

Zhong Xiaoshu immediately turned back to the place, took Yin Zhige's arm and said, "Look at the couple standing at the door of the pastry shop. Is that woman Ning Shuyan? ”

Yin Zhige listened carefully to the woman's back, and frowned slightly: "It should be her, her body and voice are very similar, but she looks different, she should be disguised!" ”

In the past two days, Yin Zhige's mood has been unstable, and when he saw the enemy, he couldn't wait to go up and tear her up.

Fortunately, Zhong Xiaoshu grabbed his arm vigilantly, and said in a low voice, "Didn't you notice the man standing next to her?" This should be someone from the Nishikawa Imperial Family. ”

The last time the emperor held a palace banquet, people of all sizes from the royal family came, but only the fifth uncle of the emperor, the prince of Qingchuan, did not come to the scene.

In fact, everyone knows that the original Xichuan Emperor had fewer heirs, and in the past two years, the concubine Niangniang has favored the harem alone, and after the emperor mourns his death, the harem has not added new Ding for many years.

The few remaining princes have almost no achievements and are not reused.

On the other hand, there are many heirs of this Qingchuan prince, and they all hold important positions in the capital.

When the prince of Qingchuan was young, he was known as the god of war, and half of the great Xichuan country was defeated by him.

It was rumored throughout Xichuan that the emperor might pass the throne to this cousin.

But now the news of Yin Zhige's return has spread throughout the Xichuan royal family, presumably this Qingchuan prince did not come to the banquet last time because of his illness, and it was also because of this reason.

"You have a special status now, so it is not appropriate to come forward, lest you be caught, if the news is transmitted back to Tianqi, someone will definitely make a big fuss about it." Zhong Xiaoshu frowned and persuaded.

In its current form, who knows what's going to happen next? If you don't listen to it, the two of them have to return to the Apocalypse Country again.

If the news that Yin Zhige was the son of the former queen spread, it would be equivalent to cutting off the retreat of the two.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhong Xiaoshu decided to take action himself.

She squeezed into the crowd and accidentally stepped on the soles of Ning Shuyan's shoes, and then hurriedly apologized.

"This lady is so embarrassed."

Ning Shuyan, who was still smiling just now, saw the face in front of her, and her eyes were replaced by hatred.

She had long known from the words of the prince that Yin Zhige was the eldest son of the former Empress of Xichuan Kingdom.

Over the years, Emperor Xichuan has refused to make the concubine Niangniang the queen, and misses the old man day and night.

Now that Yin Zhige is back, Emperor Xichuan will definitely transfer the throne to him.

Originally, in the Kingdom of the Apocalypse, Ning Shuyan was almost killed by the husband and wife, if Yin Zhige inherited the throne and became the new king of Xichuan.

At that time, she will definitely die and have no place to be buried, and Ning Shuyan will never allow this kind of thing to happen.

She immediately put away the anger in her eyes, and a warm smile appeared on her face: "It's just a small thing, you don't have to be so nervous." ”

Zhong Xiaoshu nodded and apologized, and the moment she lowered her head, there was a flash of murder in Ning Shuyan's eyes.

Although it was only for a moment, it did not escape the eyes of the prince and Zhong Xiaoshu.

Ning Shuyan had a cold face and went back to the house with Yin Zhige.

Now that the enemy has been identified, and now that she is in the territory of Xichuan Kingdom, the next thing is to think about how to kill her.

After the two of them returned to the mansion, Zhong Xiaoshu immediately closed the door and discussed this matter with Yin Zhige, "I can be sure that the woman I saw in the market today is Ning Shuyan." ”

"I've already asked people to investigate, and the man who followed her is indeed the King of Qingchuan, but how did these two people meet, and whether there is any deal between them, we still have to let people find out. Otherwise, it is easy to startle the snake if you act rashly. Yin Zhige persuaded.

Now, after all, it is in Xichuan Country, and it may not be possible to get benefits by doing it rashly.

"Tomorrow I will ask the emperor to come forward and invite King Xichuan to enter the palace with the beautiful woman beside him, and then I will identify her in front of the emperor, Xichuan has been friends with Tianqi for many years, I don't believe that King Qingchuan can keep Ning Shuyan, she has taken the position of my county lord for many years, and killed the child in my womb, I will not be able to spare her."

……

Qingchuan Palace.

After the princess who returned to her hometown came back, she suddenly learned that the prince was accompanied by a beautiful girl.

Taking advantage of the time when the prince went to the palace to resume his life, he sent his grandmother to invite Ning Shuyan over.

The princess is the cousin of the princess's mother's family, and her grandfather once served as Shang Shulang of Shangshuyuan when he was young.

Ning Shuyan is the county lord in the Apocalypse Kingdom, and she has long been accustomed to seeing the pickled things in the royal harem, so she entered the door generously.

After seeing the princess, he knelt down and bowed.

"The slave maid Xin'er has seen the princess Niangniang, and the princess is blessed with Jin'an."

Before the princess came back, she had already asked her grandmother to inquire about it, and this new girl had some means, and it seemed that the prince had picked it up among the people.

It has only been half a month since I came to the house, and several side concubines who are extremely favored on weekdays have lost their grace.

"Everyone is serving the prince, why do you want to say slaves? Since you have entered the palace, it is the sister of the palace, and the palace called you over this time, not for anything else, but this time I came back from my mother's house and brought a lot of good things, and the courtyards have been sent over, since you are also the prince's woman, naturally your share is indispensable. ”

Then the princess waved her hand and motioned for her to hand over a brocade box.

After Ning Shuyan opened the box, her face immediately froze.

What the princess rewarded her with was a valuable jadeite jasper hairpin, and the jade on the hairpin could be replaced with a set of three-entry courtyards in the capital.

But the problem is that this hairpin is hovering, and this is a golden chicken.

As the saying goes, the pheasant dares to compare with the phoenix.

"Girl, why haven't you thanked the princess for her grace? Could it be that the girl thinks that this is not worthy of a girl with a hairpin? ”

In the end, it is the grandmother next to the princess, since she married into the palace with the princess, she has been helping to manage the harem of the palace for more than 20 years.

If Ning Shuyan doesn't accept this hairpin today, it means that he is disrespectful to the princess.

If Ning Shuyan accepts this hairpin, it means that she admits that she is a pheasant and can't make a big scene.

The news in this backyard is very well-informed, and there are maids and women listening to the corners everywhere, if the news spreads, Ning Shuyan will definitely be suppressed by the side concubines in the palace in the palace in the future.

Although he had hatred in his heart, he thought that if he didn't have the protection of the palace now, he might have been killed by Zhong Xiaoshu's family as soon as he walked out of the gate of this palace.

Ning Shuyan had a light smile on her face, took the hairpin, and Shi Shiran said: "Even if the princess gives something, how can the slave and maid not accept it, you are a slut born in the countryside, and you can get such a valuable reward from the princess." ”

Mama immediately snorted coldly: "It is said that the new girl has a bad temper and a high temperament, but I didn't expect the girl to be a wise person, this imperial general's family is not as good as your newborn flower building, in this palace palace, there are naturally rules to follow." Before the princess Niangniang returned to her hometown and province, now that Niangniang is back, the girl should come to visit before the Niangniang is sent, my mother is generous, not more than ordinary people, but this rule can not be messed up, I hope the girl will start tomorrow, the morning and dusk will be the province, and the rules of this palace must not be messed up. ”
