Last night, I chatted with Shen Youning until midnight. The next day, Jiang Xuening got up late and was still sleeping soundly at three o'clock in the morning.

Qinghe stood in front of the bed and called in a low voice, "It's time for the princess to get up. The prince is waiting for you in the yard."

Jiang Xuening turned over and slowly opened her eyes, "Why is he here so early?"

"It's not too early..."

The sun was already shining in through the window, and there were birds chirping outside.

Jiang Xuening slowly got up and tidied up for a while before leaving the room.

Shen Zhaoyan was reading under the peach tree in the yard, and the fragments of light and shadow hitting his face made him look much gentler.

There was only a pot of tea and a plate of fruit on the small wooden table, and his posture was casual and lazy.

Jiang Xuening walked over and looked down at him, "What are you looking at?"

Shen Zhaoyan raised his eyes, his eyes full of carelessness, and the mole under his eyelids shone brightly in the light and shadow.

Jiang Xuening was dazzled by the appearance in front of her, and secretly cursed the monster in her heart.

"sit."

Jiang Xuening sat down, and Shen Zhaoyan poured her a cup of tea with his own hands, with elegant and smooth movements.

Jiang Xuening said suspiciously, "What bad idea are you planning?"

Shen Zhaoyan sneered, "Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?"

Jiang Xuening nodded fiercely without hesitation. Any delay would be a sign of disrespect for him.

Shen Zhaoyan looked at her indifferently, his narrow eyes filled with a bit of chill. The aloof and indifferent attitude of a person in a position of authority was most vividly reflected in him.

Jiang Xuening lowered her head to drink tea, her expression a bit colder.

Shen Zhaoyan spoke slowly, "It's said outside that you intend to marry the Zuo family?"

Jiang Xuening almost choked to death and looked at him speechlessly, "You have bad ears. You must have heard wrong."

Shen Zhaoyan put down the book in his hand, "Didn't you say you wanted to pick someone to marry?"

Yesterday, he heard a lot of her lofty words outside, and even met Zuo Musheng, who was indeed a handsome young man.

Jiang Xuening didn't really want to discuss this issue with him, "It's none of your business, and we haven't gotten to know each other well enough to discuss life-long matters."

Shen Zhaoyan put her chin on her hand and smiled lightly, "If you want to talk to me, it's not impossible."

Jiang Xuening warned him, "Don't go crazy."

Every time he smiled beautifully at her, it was definitely up to something bad.

Shen Zhaoyan sighed and analyzed word by word, "Even if it is for power and to climb up, choosing a marriage with an aristocratic family in Qingzhou is a bad idea. It will not help you in Shengjing in the future."

He peeled off an orange from Xuening and asked with a half-smile as he ate it, "In your opinion, who is the better choice?"

Shen Zhaoyan lowered his eyes and swept his eyelashes, "You are still young, so don't worry."

"It's rare for you to say something humane." Jiang Xuening handed him the other half of the orange, "I thought I was going to choose you."

Shen Zhaoyan took the orange and put it aside, "I'm not that crazy yet."

He did not hate her, but admired her resilience. It's just that her bloodline and everything she carries means that she is destined to be trouble.

It's not annoying at all, not enough for him to take things further with her.

Of course, he had no interest in attacking a bean sprout, it felt too strange.

Shen Zhaoyan said pointedly, "Since you are already the princess, you should eat more to maintain your health. You are much shorter than your peers."

The topic was too exciting, Jiang Xuening frowned, "Oh, this princess is being abused, I'm not short."

She just felt that the incomprehensible conversation was a waste of time. Just as he was about to get up and leave, Qinghe came over and said, "Princess, Master Zuo wants to see you."

Jiang Xuening stood up and straightened her clothes, "Take him to the garden."

After saying that, she left without replying to the message. Shen Zhaoyanding stared at her back and his attitude towards her was not very pleasant.

Jiang Xuening admired the flowers in the pavilion for a while, and Zuo Musheng came soon, with high spirits and vitality.

"What do you want from me, Third Young Master?"

Zuo Musheng stood side by side with her, "Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"

Jiang Xuening was speechless and choked. Why are there two of them, they all feel weird today.

Speaking of which, the two of them had not seen each other in person for a long time, and they were not familiar with each other. What they said before was more like a joke.

Zuo Musheng looked at her sideways and felt that she was a little whiter and had some flesh on her face, making her look better than when they first met.

At first she started talking about getting married and looking for a son-in-law, but people outside were laughing at her for not knowing what she could do, waiting to see her laugh.

As she showed her strong side, she kept up with the Shen family and secured her position as the princess. The outside world and the aristocratic family's views on her are changing.

As far as he knew, some aristocratic families had already been shaken. I feel that marrying her may not be a good move.

Coupled with the arrival of Shen Zhaoyan, the relationship between the two seems to be not shallow. There are constant rumors and speculations outside.

Zuo Musheng's mood was a little complicated, "I'm here to ask the princess to go out for an outing. This weather is perfect for going out."

Jiang Xuening asked curiously, "Are you trying to show your courtesy to me?"

"Isn't what I did obvious?" Zuo Musheng said with a smile.

Jiang Xuening said softly, "Concubine Zuo has already married into the palace. Repeated marriages are not the best choice for the Zuo family. Third Young Master can now target other targets."

Zuo Musheng made a sad expression, "The princess is so ruthless."

"I'm telling the truth. Eggs cannot be put in the same basket. It is enough for the palace to have the left concubine."

Zuo Musheng said with a mixture of truth and lies, "The days are long, and who can tell what will happen in the future? At least we are friends now, and it is normal to travel together..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Bi came and saluted Jiang Xuening, "I dare to interrupt you."

Jiang Xuening, "Is something wrong?"

Shen Bi said calmly, "Your Majesty is feeling a little uncomfortable. Please go over and take a look, Princess."

Weren't you fine just now? Why did Yao'ezi appear all of a sudden? Jiang Xuening was slightly confused.

"I have something to do here, Mr. Zuo, please help yourself."

Zuo Musheng's eyes flashed, "Are you familiar with the Crown Prince?"

Seeing that he was quite familiar with the money, Jiang Xuening smiled and said, "He is a guest, so of course I have to treat him well."

Jiang Xuening followed Shen Bi to the courtyard where Shen Zhaoyan lived. He was lying on a chair with his eyes closed, and he didn't look uncomfortable.

"Where are you uncomfortable?"

Shen Zhaoyan opened his eyes and coughed twice, "I feel a little cold."

Jiang Xuening leaned over and touched his forehead with her hand, "No fever."

Shen Zhaoyan held her wrist and said, "My chest is a little tight."

Jiang Xuening checked his pulse and found no major problems. She suspected that he was too thoughtful and overly calculating, which made her uncomfortable.

She said very dedicatedly, "I'll ask the kitchen to cook two dishes to give you some food. If you have obvious symptoms, I'll give you the right medicine."

Shen Bi was also told to pay special attention at night and to call her immediately if she had a fever.
