After the Queen Mother finished her morning classes, Sheng Nuan asked the Queen Mother for permission to go home.
As a princess, her family lives outside the palace, but she often lives with the Queen Mother in Ci'en Palace. It is very convenient to come in and out, and she is more free and happy than the princess.
When she left the palace, she didn't take Xiaotao and Douzi with her. She first rode a horse to the apothecary to grab all the needed medicinal materials, and then returned to the Duke Protector's Mansion.
His father, Sheng Tingyuan, was out to socialize, while his mother, Sun Lanyi, was doing embroidery with a few women. Zhou Xiruo was also there, sitting among the maids, with a temperament like orchid, dignified and gentle.
"Mom, sister Xiruo."
Sheng Nuan walked in with a smile, and Sun Lanyi was immediately pleasantly surprised: "Why do you want to go home today and get the approval of the Queen Mother?"
"That's natural. Why don't you worry about your daughter doing things?" Sheng Nuan smiled and leaned over.
Sun Lanyi also has a gentle temperament. She is over forty but looks like she is in her early thirties. She is very delicate and beautiful.
It's completely like Beauty and the Beast with Sheng Tingyuan!
Zhou Xiruo covered her lips and snickered from the opposite side: "Nuan Nuan still sticks to Auntie."
Sheng Nuan leaned on Sun Lanyi and looked at Zhou Xiruo with a smile... It was this woman who had been raised by the Sheng family for several years and seemed weak and harmless, but later gave the Sheng family a fatal blow.
Just because Yan Jiangrong promised her to be his concubine, tsk.
Zhou Xiruo originally smiled and looked at Sheng Nuan with a narrowed look in his eyes, but gradually, he felt a little uncomfortable for no reason, and then he coughed lightly and looked away.
After a while, Sheng Nuan and Zhou Xiruo were walking in the garden together. She took out a box and said, "The Third Highness asked me to bring this to you."
Zhou Xiruo suddenly showed a flattered expression, and at the same time she was slightly uneasy: "Well, Nuan Nuan, I... I actually know that the person who is most pleased with His Highness is you, but it doesn't matter, I don't mind covering for you, so there is no need for this gift.
, I can’t afford it.”
Sheng Nuan curled her lips and put the box into Zhou Xiruo's hand: "Don't worry, you can afford it."
After saying that, she looked at Zhou Xiruo with a faint smile, turned around and walked away.
Behind him, Zhou Xiruo's expression slowly changed... He lowered his head and glanced at the box in his hand, his eyes filled with coldness.
Of course she knew that His Highness the Third Prince liked her, but her identity was not public and she was just a cousin in name only living in the Sheng family.
No one knew that her father was Sheng Tingyuan's savior... If it weren't for her father, Sheng Tingyuan would have died on the battlefield long ago, and where would he have gotten this incredible wealth and power?
Sheng Nuan is not necessarily the one who is favored by the Emperor of Chu and the Empress Dowager and is more beautiful than the princess in her hands.
But even so, Sheng Tingyuan refused to accept her as an adopted daughter, and refused to give her a higher status... But they refused to repay the kindness of saving her life. They only regarded giving her a bowl of rice as repayment of their kindness.
?
If her father was still alive and had made great achievements but did not have the military achievements and status of Sheng Tingyuan, why would she be living under someone else's roof? She seemed to be half a master, but in fact she was half a slave.
The gadgets Sheng Nuan threw at her casually looked like they were sending beggars away...
Lowering his head to open the box in his hand, Zhou Xiruo's eyes suddenly softened when he saw the dazzling Dongzhu inside.
It doesn't matter, at least this time, she defeated Sheng Nuan...
That fool thought she was a foil, but he didn't know that he was the one being used by His Highness.
Sheng Nuan was not interested in getting too entangled with Zhou Xiruo. She took the medicine back to her yard and tinkered with it for a long time. When the sky started to get dark, she took the prepared ointment and the prepared medicine powder and left home.
Enter the palace.⑧①ZW.????m
At night, she avoided the guards and went to Youyue Palace.
Unlike the last time she brought her slaves to bully Yan Jiangxuan, this time she came to treat his injuries, so she was alone.
When she arrived outside Youyue Palace, the customer service reminded her that Wei Lan was inside.
Sheng Nuan continued to move forward.
When Wei Lan realized something was wrong and wanted to leave, it was too late, but he had already prepared. As soon as Sheng Nuan walked outside the palace door, he heard Wei Lan mocking loudly: "His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, who was so high and mighty in the past, can only do so now."
It’s really depressing to be miserable and begging for mercy.”
Sheng Nuan raised her eyebrows without leaving any trace.
This is a show for her...
Pushing open the palace door, she saw Wei Lan standing there with a sarcastic face, and Yan Jiangxuan lying on the bed, weak and pitiful.
Seeing her, Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, and then snorted: "Princess Lin'an is very happy and comes to visit her fiancé in the middle of the night."
He was tall and mighty, and his face was full of sarcasm and a bit harsh.
Sheng Nuan said nothing and stood quietly watching him, wanting to see what hateful things this loyal dog could say to his wife.
Wei Lan was not an ignorant person, and was just about to continue pretending that he was here to ridicule Yan Jiangxuan, but the next moment, when he saw Sheng Nuan's mysterious eyes, he felt inexplicably nervous.
Why does the idiot princess look a little unserious?
The next moment, Wei Lan rolled up his sleeves and left...
Silence returned to the Youyue Palace. Sheng Nuan took out the porcelain bottle filled with ointment and medicinal powder and stepped forward, saying, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will keep it a secret. After all, we have made an appointment."
Yan Jiangxuan glanced at her with a gentle expression: "I don't understand what the princess said."
Sheng Nuan smiled: "I am sincere, but it seems that His Highness does not believe it...
It's a very simple reason. At this time, no one would go out into this muddy water just to win over His Highness. General Wei has been very diligent in following his father to the palace recently, and maybe he has attracted attention."
Yan Jiangxuan looked at Sheng Nuan quietly: "The princess is different from the rumors."
No matter in terms of temperament or skill, the person in front of me is not as simple and vulgar as the rumors say.
Sheng Nuan smiled: "Just like the last time I was almost attacked by poisonous insects just after I left His Highness, I am not that easy to lie...I say this because of my sincerity. Your Highness is in a difficult situation now, and there is no harm in having multiple allies, right?
?”
Yan Jiangxuan closed his eyes: "I am now useless. No matter what the princess wants, I'm afraid it will all be in vain."
Sheng Nuan knew that he would not believe it easily, so she smiled and didn't care: "It doesn't matter, as long as my sincerity is fulfilled. After all, this is the family of His Highness's maternal ancestors. Who knows if the next time the sword falls, the person who bleeds will be
My Sheng family... all I want is to live a stable life."
Yan Jiangxuan opened his eyes: "The princess and the third emperor's brother are in love. Now that the third emperor's brother is being favored, he may not give the princess a title in the future."
This means that I am willing to communicate, although I am still testing.
Sheng Nuan smiled: "Yan Jiangrong, that hypocrite?"
Yan Jiangxuan didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.
Having said enough, Sheng Nuan did not continue, but prepared the ointment and sat beside Yan Jiangxuan's bed, changing the subject: "Speaking of which, Major General Wei Lan is very affectionate towards His Highness. At times like this,
If you can take the risk to come and visit.”
Yan Jiangxuan felt inexplicably that the woman who had just been calm and steady suddenly looked a little strange. He frowned slightly: "It's a friendship between gentlemen."
Sheng Nuan's fujoshi radar was ticking, and she chuckled: "For Your Highness, it's a gentleman's friendship, but for General Wei, that's not necessarily the case..."
Yan Jiangxuan suddenly felt that the woman's strange eyes seemed a bit obscene in an instant. He frowned: "What does the princess want?"
Sheng Nuan coughed lightly and then remembered the business: "What about that? I'll treat your leg..."
