Sheng Nuan didn't know that in Yan Jiangxuan's heart, she had become a female gangster who had ulterior motives for him... As for the two young eunuchs, in fact, she just made a presumption to the Queen Mother.
She said that there was no one at Yan Jiangxuan's side to take care of him. Now that they were engaged, it would be her who would be lost if he was in such a bad mood. She begged the Queen Mother to send someone to take care of him.
Those two people were arranged by the Queen Mother.
In fact, this was Sheng Nuan's test of the Queen Mother... The Queen Mother usually only focused on worshiping Buddha and never asked too many questions. Even if the imperial concubine hanged herself or the prince's grandfather's house was ransacked, the Queen Mother never interfered.
She wanted to know whether this person was really indifferent or just trying to protect herself. After all, she knew that the Queen Mother was not the biological mother of Emperor Chu.
When she learned that the eunuch who had served Yan Jiangxuan was sent there, Sheng Nuan had a rough guess: Although the Queen Mother seemed to be deaf to what was happening outside the window, she still had her own thoughts in her heart.
She just gave an excuse, and the Queen Mother took advantage of the situation and arranged for someone to take care of Yan Jiangxuan...most likely because Emperor Chu was suspicious and powerful, so she had to protect herself wisely.
Yan Jiangxuan's injuries had been taken care of and there were people taking care of her. She could finally breathe a sigh of relief. That day, after breakfast, she was called by the third prince Yan Jiangrong to go to the racecourse with her.
Autumn hunting is coming, and these princes and princesses have to practice riding and shooting. Before practicing, they must first choose a companion to practice riding and shooting with.
Yan Jiangrong smiled and asked Sheng Nuan to choose one too. Sheng Nuan agreed and stood aside to watch the game on the court.
Since all the people participating in the competition are dignitaries in the capital, this competition is to give them an opportunity to fully display themselves, take the opportunity to show their faces in front of the princes and princesses, and serve them.
The competition is divided into two parts: riding and shooting. The competition is fierce in the field, and all the princes and princesses are watching with great interest on the sidelines.
"I want An Youwen, and it's him." The eleventh prince who had just turned ten years old was the first to speak, with the baby fat still on his face, shouting excitedly.
The young man who was chosen by him reined in his horse and gave him his hand: "Thank you for your love, His Highness Eleventh Prince."
Afterwards, several more princes and princesses chose their companions...the most prominent among them was Pei Yu, the legitimate son of Pei Chongshan, Minister of War, but everyone knew that Pei Yu belonged to the third prince.
Without the former crown prince, the talented third prince naturally became the most valued one in front of Emperor Chu. Those princes and princesses were all human beings, so naturally they would not rashly get into trouble with the third prince.
But Sheng Nuan's attention was focused on the young man in the corner. The clothes on that young man were obviously old and even slightly inappropriate.
The horse assigned to him was a sick horse, and the bow was a broken and repaired bow. As a result, his performance in both riding and archery was poor.
But Sheng Nuan knew that he was the most powerful among these people.
The boy's name was Pei Jing, and he was the younger brother of Pei Yu, who was the best in the field... Pei Jing's mother was the foot-washing maid favored by the Minister of War after he was drunk, and she was a stain in the heart of the Minister of War, who prided himself on being noble.
Because of this, Pei Jing and his mother had a very difficult time in Shangshu Mansion.
He wanted to show his prominence through the princes' selection of companions, but he did not expect that his brother Pei Yu had already arranged everything with the third prince and did not give him a chance to stand out.
When everyone had chosen their companions and the remaining young people were feeling disappointed and ready to leave, Sheng Nuan suddenly pointed at Pei Jing: "Your Highness, I want to choose him."
Ninth Princess Yan Huaiyu found an opportunity, and immediately sneered and ridiculed: "Princess Lin'an has really good eyesight, and she really knows how to choose."
Sheng Nuan raised her eyebrows but didn't care: "Thank you for the compliment, princess."
Yan Huaiyu:......
Yan Jiangrong frowned: "Lin'an, why did you choose the young master of the Pei family? He doesn't seem to be very good at riding and shooting."
Sheng Nuan hummed: "It's nothing, I just think it's funny how he staggers around on horseback and shoots arrows in a daze."
The other princes and princesses immediately laughed. Yan Huaiyu curled her lips in disdain, but knowing that she was no match for Sheng Nuan whether with words or with hands, she did not taunt her again.
Yan Jiangrong and Pei Yu looked at each other without any trace, and then smiled: "Okay, as long as Lin'an is happy."
Pei Jing originally thought that he had no hope, but he didn't want to see things come to an end without any warning.
Although Princess Lin'an has a bad reputation in the capital and is known to be domineering and brainless...but he has no choice now.
As long as there is even the slightest chance, he will not let it go.
The next moment, Pei Jing walked up to Sheng Nuan and saluted respectfully: "Pei Jing has met the princess."
Sheng Nuan hummed: "From now on, you can practice riding and shooting with me. Don't worry, I will not treat you badly."
Pei Jing lowered his head: "Yes."
After that, all the selected people left the palace and went back to make preparations. When Pei Jing walked out of the palace gate, he saw that the carriage of the Pei Mansion had picked up his brother Pei Yu and left, as if he was not there at all.
He silently walked towards the carriage he rented. After taking a few steps, the shrill voice of the young eunuch suddenly came from behind him.
"Young Master Pei, please stay."
Pei Jing turned around and saw a little eunuch with a round face. He quickly saluted: "Eunuch, you are polite."
"Don't dare, don't dare, we are just slaves... Our Princess Lin'an gave this to Young Master Pei. In the future, please ask Young Master to take care of our Princess when practicing martial arts."
When he saw the two ingots of silver handed over by the little eunuch, which amounted to fifty cars, Pei Jing was stunned for a moment, and then quickly bowed to thank him.
"I'd like to trouble my young father-in-law to express my gratitude to the princess on my behalf. Princess, please rest assured that Pei Jing will do his best."
"Okay, it's getting late, young master, please come back soon." After saying that, Douzi smiled and waved away.
Pei Jing looked at the two ingots of silver in his hand, pursed his lips, and his expression changed several times.
The reason why he tried every means to get this opportunity was because he wanted to show his face... The life he and his mother had in Shangshu Mansion was so miserable that even when his mother was sick, he had to ask a doctor to see how he felt.
The monthly payment is almost non-existent.
He didn't expect that Princess Lin'an, whom he just met, would be so generous... Now, he could hire a better doctor to treat his mother.
Pei Jing held the money bag tightly, pursed his lips, and got into the carriage...
In the evening, Sheng Nuan went to Youyue Palace again, and Yan Jiangxuan's leg injury needed dressing change.
After confirming that Sheng Nuan's medicine was really effective, Mr. Huang did not intervene rashly. Sheng Nuan arrived at Youyue Palace, knocked on the door and entered, and saw Yan Jiangxuan looking up quickly. Eight One Chinese Website
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Yan Jiangxuan looked at her more defensively?
"Your Highness, let me change your dressing." She said with a smile.
Yan Jiangxuan hummed: "Excuse me, Princess."
Well, it seems I'm not so defensive again...
I untied the layer of gauze, cleaned the abscessed area around the wound, reapplied the medicine, and then gently covered the wound.
Similarly, Yan Jiangxuan did not say a word from beginning to end, even though his face was pale and his head was covered with cold sweat.
Thinking of the leisurely life of the princes and princesses who were eating, drinking and having fun during the day, and then looking at Yan Jiangxuan in front of him... He had fought on the battlefield for Da Chu with real swords and guns, but he ended up in this situation.
It is sad to suffer so much and still be coveted by all kinds of people for your beauty in the future.
But fortunately, there are people who care about him and will seize the country and give it to him in the future...
Sheng Nuan said in a warm voice: "Your Highness, if you bear with me, you will get better soon."
Yan Jiangxuan raised his eyes and saw the sympathy and pity in Sheng Nuan's eyes... The guard in his heart became more and more intense. He leaned back calmly: "Thank you, Princess."
Just then, a heavy bell rang.
Sheng Nuan was stunned, but across from him, Yan Jiangxuan's expression suddenly changed.
Only then did she remember the sound of the bell... Yan Jiangxuan's biological mother, Concubine Xian, was going to be buried tomorrow...
