After staying in Pingliang for half a month, Princess Qinghe was finally ready to return to Beijing.
Everyone in Shen Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, and Shen Xingwan also cheered up again.
As soon as Shen Xingwan got on the boat and sat down, Banxia came in with Shangguan Tinglan, the female official next to Princess Qinghe, and saluted, "Princess invites the girl to go to the boat to drink tea and listen to the show."
As far as she knew, the princess found that there were several princes on board, as well as young gentlemen from well-known families.
Shen Xingwan didn't want to join in the fun, so she immediately covered her chest and retched, "I'm terribly seasick, so I won't spoil the fun. Thank you princess for your kindness."
A smile flashed in Shangguan Tinglan's eyes, and he said seriously, "The princess said she has a nanny there who is good at treating seasickness. If the girl gets seasick, she must go."
Shen Xingwan:......
He was determined to let her go.
Shangguan Tinglan said thoughtfully, "Old Madam, I have already gone to say hello to the girl."
Shen Xingwan could only smile and said, "Marquis, please sit down and have a cup of tea while I clean up."
Shen Xingwan quickly changed his clothes, and several maids quickly packed up their daily necessities.
Before the boat set off, Shen Xingwan finally boarded the princess's boat.
Shang Gong Tinglan took her to a beautifully decorated room and said, "My lady, please stay here temporarily. If you need anything, just ask me."
Princess Qinghe did not summon Shen Xingwan immediately, so naturally Shen Xingwan would not join in on her own.

When Yan Ling entered, Princess Qinghe had just woken up from her nap and was sitting in the room combing her hair in front of the mirror.
"Here we come." Princess Qinghe looked at him through the mirror, "I thought you were so seduced by Shen Xingwan that you couldn't find your way back."
Yan Ling walked up and lifted a piece of her long hair, "Are you jealous?"
Princess Qinghe turned around and looked at her with dazzling eyes, "I like you the most now, but there is never a shortage of people around me. I waved, but I don't know how many people flocked to me."
This is the truth. Princess Qinghe is beautiful and is favored by the emperor.
Yan Ling casually picked up the eyebrow makeup on the table, gently pinched the princess's chin, and leaned over to draw the princess's eyebrows carefully and smoothly.
The maids in the palace had long since lost their expressions.
After the painting was finished, Yan Ling explained, "I had no choice but to approach her."
"No need to explain, I'm not interested in the reasons." Princess Qinghe looked up at her, extremely beautiful, "Am I beautiful?"
"pretty…"
Yan Ling lowered her head and kissed her, and their breath quickly became unstable. Princess Qinghe bit her lip directly.
It was clearly a scene of love and affection, but there was no warmth in Yan Ling's eyes.
Half an hour later, Yan Ling walked out of the princess's room. There were obvious teeth marks on her neck. There was a banquet tonight, and the princess had some scruples. After all, she didn't take a step closer.
Yan Ling returned to her room with a pale face, eyes full of disgust, and she even felt uncomfortable.
With a satisfied look on her face, the princess chose the clothes she would wear to the opera in the evening.
Shangguan Tinglan dutifully advised in a low voice, "Master Yan is a little too aloof and self-sufficient, and he is too careless about the princess."
Princess Qinghe raised her eyebrows and said, "I like to see his unwillingness. Beautiful Zhenlie is so interesting."
She still remembered the first time she saw him, his beautiful face was both male and female, but his whole person was gloomy and unruly, revealing a strong and unyielding beauty.
Princess Qinghe instantly became interested.
She just likes to force herself and drag people into the quagmire. How interesting!
"Princess has been kind enough to him these years." Shangguan Tinglan said.
He is just a bastard who was born outside the family, but he lives a noble life. Even though he is on the fringe of the Yan family, he can finally be looked down upon.
All this is not because of catching up with Princess Qinghe.
Princess Qinghe's gorgeous nails lightly scratched the lines on her clothes, "I am still interested in him and willing to pamper him. He naturally has the capital to be proud of his pampering."
"When I get tired of him being so ignorant, I can lift him up and step on him."
Shangguan Tinglan praised with admiration, "The princess is wise."
"It's just a toy, not worth my trouble."
The most ruthless thing is the royal family, not to mention Princess Qinghe, the jewel in the eyes of the Tian family who has been raised and supported by thousands of people.
I will never fall in love with a man easily, nor will I humble myself to the dust for a man.
She is a respected princess, and there are thousands of beautiful men in the world.
If you don’t like it, change it, the next one will be better!
Obviously Yan Ling didn't think so. The princess had been too kind and indulgent to him in the past few years.
He has become accustomed to this kind of kindness, and thinks that he is different and has a place in Princess Qinghe's heart.
As soon as Yan Ling returned to the room, she took a shower and changed her clothes from beginning to end. She looked at the teeth marks on her neck with disgust and covered them with powder.
"Princess, are you still going to the banquet tonight?" The maid glanced at him quietly, and the wound on her mouth was too obvious.
Anyone who watches it will feel that the battle is fierce!
Yan Ling said with a cold face, "Of course I'm going, Shen Xingwan is going to attend tonight."
The maid whispered, "But Miss Shen...won't you think too much?"
Yan Ling touched her injured lip, "So what?"
He has a lot of tricks, there is no woman that he can't handle, and with this face he has always been able to do anything.
The banquet hall on the ship is magnificently decorated. Even the maids who serve are all very beautiful?
As soon as it got dark, lights were lit on the boat and it became lively.
The sounds of silk and bamboo, the sounds of singing, and the sounds of joking came from the half-open window.
When I return to Beijing, I won’t be so wanton.
The young men from aristocratic families had already arrived early to start drinking.
Yan Ling didn't have enough status in front of this group of people, so she didn't dare to wait until later.
Still wearing purple clothes and holding a white fan.
As soon as he walked in, his good-looking face attracted the attention of many people.
The most handsome man in the capital, the nephew of the Queen Mother rested his eyes on his lips and said with a teasing smile, "Tsk, tsk, it turns out that Mr. Yan is the one who knows how to play and amuse himself!"
Yan Ling clenched the fan in her hand and said coldly, "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Hey, you are quite good at pretending. Is it the same in front of the princess? Use your methods to please the princess and serve us too..."
The others didn't answer. These were the princess's people, and they didn't dare to tease her easily.
But the look he looked at Yan Ling made it unclear.
Yan Ling stood there without speaking, the anger in her eyes almost unbearable.
Until Shangguan Tinglan walked in and said, "Mr. Yan, the princess has invited you."
Yan Ling took a deep breath, turned and left.
"Ah, what are you pretending to be? You don't sell your beauty to make the princess happy and get the upper hand."
"But looking at the aloof look on his face, it should be particularly exciting to play..."
