Although I suffered some punishment, I got a glimpse of some hidden things, which was worth it.
Shen Xingwan still believed in his sixth sense.
As soon as she returned to Zhou's house, the old lady immediately summoned her.
"What did the empress say when she summoned you to the palace?"
"I made you stand outside for a long time." Shen Xingwan raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I don't like me."
It seemed that she was just showing off her power. The old lady waved her hand and said, "Go down and rest."
The next day, Shen Xingwan and Zhou Man made an appointment to go out to Lin Zhiyu's new home to have hothouse wine.
The house is located near the river in the Imperial City, and the rental price is not low. You can see the flow of the river as soon as you open the window, which is quite interesting.
Lin Zhiyu was waiting in front of the door in person. Seeing their carriage arriving, he quickly greeted them and said, "Come down and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up."
It's very cold outside and there's ice under the eaves.
Shen Xingwan walked in and took a look. Lin Zhiyu was indeed a fun person. The courtyard and rooms were decorated in a unique way.
There are incense burners and Go chess placed near the window. It makes the day comfortable just thinking about it.
Lin Zhiyu prepared good wine and food, which made him feel much more alive.
"My days are much more comfortable after I come out. I can do whatever I want." Lin Zhiyu told the truth.
After having lunch and chatting for a while, Zhou Man went back, while Shen Xingwan stayed. She wanted to stay here for the night.
It's not a good idea for the Zhou family to find you. The old lady and the eldest master are busy arguing with the Qin family.
Not long after Zhou Man left, the door came to mind again, and Iris went to open the door.
Lin Zhiyu said pointedly, "My new friend, the neighbor's lady, came to visit me."
Lan Die came in with a little bell, "How are you doing, Miss?"
"It's okay." Shen Xingwan looked at her openly.
Lin Zhiyu stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to check out tonight's dinner. You two can chat slowly."
Lan Die knew that she had lost her memory and probably told her about the situation.
"Are there any spies in the palace?" Shen Xingwan asked straight to the point. It stands to reason that among the major powers, spies would infiltrate each other, just to see how far they could penetrate.
This question is beyond the scope of Landie's responsibilities. "I'll finish asking after I go back and tell you."
Shen Xingwan nodded and said unconvincingly, "How are you going to rescue me?"
"We have organized all the forces here to escort you away." Lan Die replied.
In the final analysis, we can only do it forcefully, and there is no other better way for the time being.
Shen Xing turned his head and looked at the scenery on the river, "This is too dangerous, and it may not be successful."
She just didn't want to force it, so she stayed quietly at Zhou's house, waiting for the opportunity.
Now she feels like she's had her chance.
The two agreed to use Lin Zhiyu's place as a contact point, and Lan Die left before dinner.
"I'm going to eat fish pot tonight. I just bought fresh fish this morning." Lin Zhiyu was telling her about tonight's recipe when there was another knock on the door.
Bai Ling took the initiative and said, "I'll go take a look."
Shen Xingwan helped arrange the dishes and bowls. Just as they were done, Bai Ling led the Ninth Princess in.
The Ninth Princess greeted angrily, "This princess is here..." Her stomach rumbled at an inappropriate time, and she stared straight at the fragrant and nourishing fish pot.
"Hey, who is so bold to starve our ninth princess?" Shen Xingwan saw right away that something was wrong with her.
The Ninth Princess snorted angrily and said nothing. Lin Zhiyu quickly added an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, "If Princess doesn't mind, let's have a taste of the homely meal."
Princess Ninth took the bowl and greeted her politely, "Sit down and eat too."
Bai Ling whispered from the side, "It was the maid next to the fourth lady who brought the princess here. She said that the princess stopped the fourth lady's car and insisted on looking for you."
Shen Xingwan nodded to show that he understood, and sat down to eat.
Probably because she was very hungry, Princess Ninth was very satisfied with her meal and thought the pot was quite delicious.
Lin Zhiyu took out the peach blossom wine and poured a glass for Shen Xingwan, "I dried it myself last year. How do you like it?"
The Ninth Princess on the side saw it and immediately shouted, "Do I want to drink too?"
Shen Xingwan glanced at her, "Can you drink?"
Princess Ninth's eyes widened, "I have a good drinking capacity, Princess. Drinking you two is a trivial matter."
Lin Zhiyu had no choice but to pour wine for the Ninth Princess, one glass after another. She looked very drinkable.
As a result, before the meal was finished, he got drunk first.
She leaned on the table and yelled angrily, "Qi Han, you bastard, you obviously promised to take good care of me..."
"The noble concubine bullies me, and you bully me too... you two are the same bad guys!"
These words were interesting, and Shen Xingwan couldn't help but look at her a few more times. It seemed that she had been wronged this time and had something to do with the imperial concubine.
What Shen Xingwan is most interested in right now is the matter between Qi Han and the imperial concubine. She feels that if she makes good use of it, she can severely cheat Qi Han.
Lin Zhiyu ordered someone to cook a bowl of rescue soup, drank it for the ninth princess, and then helped her to the couch aside and covered her with a quilt.
The two of them roasted sweet potatoes on the stove while chatting around the stove.
"Is it really okay for her to be like this?" Lin Zhiyu was a little worried. After all, it was well known that the Ninth Princess was favored.
"The people around her know her movements." Shen Xingwan said, "They won't really let her run around."
Maybe Qi Han came to her with tacit approval.
Ninth Princess was attracted by the sweet sweet potato flavor, and when she rubbed her friend's eyes, she found herself on a completely unfamiliar ground.
"woke up…"
The Ninth Princess looked over following the voice and met Shen Xingwan's cold eyes. She held a chess piece in her hand and looked at her coldly.
Princess Ninth sat up immediately, "Am I drunk?"
Shen Xingwan put down the chess piece in his hand, "It's late at night, it's time for you to leave. This is not the place you should stay."
The Ninth Princess was unhappy, so she got up from the bed and reached out to grab the sweet potato, but she was burned and said "ouch".
"Princess, I'll come. Is your hand okay?" Bai Ling left her alone.
The ninth princess ate sweet potatoes with Bai Ling's help. The sweet taste made her feel much better. "This princess has run away from home and has nowhere to go."
Shen Xingwan refused to accept this trick, "There is no room for a giant Buddha like you here. My friend is an orphan and it is not easy to survive in the imperial city."
"It doesn't matter, I can follow you." Ninth Princess said matter-of-factly, "I never want to see your uncle again."
"A fight?" Shen Xingwan tested her.
The Ninth Princess lowered her eyes sadly, "I want to marry you off, but I don't want to."
Qi Han had a tough attitude and wanted to choose a consort for her, but the Ninth Princess was so angry that she ran out.
Although she is a princess, there are not many places she can go after leaving the palace.
She felt quite comfortable getting along with Shen Xingwan, so she simply came to find her.
It's late at night and the snow is heavy outside, so it's impossible to really drive this little ancestor away.
But once she got involved, her original plan for tonight had to be shelved.
