The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Shen Qinglan smiled and nodded at Princess Zhaoyang, then returned the bow and arrow to the eunuch beside him.

Then Shen Qinglan looked at the Queen again, bowed to her and said:

"Jia Shun has made a fool of himself. Please forgive me, Your Majesty. However, this matter involves the reputation of my grandparents, so Jia Shun has to protect it."

"As the saying goes, if you remember where you came from, you will know where you are going. Just like Jiashun now remembers that the reason she can become such a precious princess is because of the emperor's great grace, and she will never forget it."

When the queen listened to Shen Qinglan's words, she thought they were very beautifully said. She couldn't help but nodded slightly and praised her with a smile.

The Eighth Prince's wife was so angry that she almost broke her teeth.

What Shen Qinglan said sounded nice. Not only did she get herself out of the situation, she also indirectly flattered the royal family, which made her behavior of forcing Shen Qinglan seem a little petty.

But now the Queen Mother looked very satisfied, so even if the Eighth Prince's wife wanted to say something, she didn't dare to.

Princess Zhaoyang, on the other hand, did not look angry at all, but rather looked stunned.

Rather than losing to Shen Qinglan, she was even more surprised that Shen Qinglan's archery skills were even better than hers!

Seeing that the Queen was not angry, Shen Qinglan turned around and looked at Princess Zhaoyang, smiling and asking:

"Does Princess Zhaoyang keep her word?"

When Princess Zhaoyang heard Shen Qinglan's words, she looked up at Shen Qinglan, her eyes turned red and she looked like she was about to cry out loud, looking so pitiful.

Now, even Shen Qinglan felt a little at a loss, as if he had bullied the girl.

Before Shen Qinglan could say anything, Princess Zhaoyang was already staring at Shen Qinglan indignantly, her eyes red, and she said in a choked voice:

"You, you knew I would lose. Did you do it on purpose?"

Shen Qinglan looked at Princess Zhaoyang in silence.

If she wasn't absolutely sure of her own abilities, she would naturally not accept any gambling requests. Isn't this right?

Seeing that Shen Qinglan did not admit it, Princess Zhaoyang thought that she had acquiesced, and immediately burst into tears, pointing at Shen Qinglan and sobbing and scolding:

"How could you be so scheming, woman? Wuuwuwu! I have clearly liked Brother Ting for such a long time! I have wanted to marry Brother Ting since I was a child, but you just came to interfere! Wuuwuwu..."

"You, Hiccup...you don't like Brother Ting, so why do you have to snatch something from me? Wuwuwu..."

Princess Zhaoyang started to hiccup from crying so much.

Shen Qinglan was amused by Princess Zhaoyang, but he suppressed his laughter and asked:

"How do you know I don't like it?"

"Wuwuwu, if you, if you like it, why would you bet with me? Wuwuwu, if, if I were Brother Ting's princess, even if the sky fell, I would never bet with Brother Ting!"

God knows, being able to marry Brother Ting must be the result of her eight lifetimes of blessings!

How could she just gamble someone away so easily? She couldn't bear to do that!

But Shen Qinglan agreed without blinking an eye. Doesn't that mean she doesn't like him?

Shen Qinglan felt a little guilty after hearing what Princess Zhaoyang said.

Yes, is that so?

Princess Zhaoyang cried while watching Shen Qinglan's reaction. Seeing that the other party's face was still calm, she stopped crying immediately, wiped her face, and said to Shen Qinglan with gritted teeth:

"Don't worry! I'll go ask Brother Ting right now. If Brother Ting says that he really doesn't like me, then I'll fulfill the bet! But! If Brother Ting likes me, then I'll bear this bet even if I'm struck by lightning!"

After Princess Zhaoyang finished speaking, she bowed casually to the Queen, turned around and left Kunning Palace. From her back, she looked aggressive, as if she was really going to find Huo Zhanting to get things done.

The Eighth Prince's wife didn't have anything to think about at this time, so she simply bowed to the Queen and left.

After the two of them left, the queen couldn't help but sigh and said with a smile:

"Zhaoyang is just that kind of person, straightforward and has no bad intentions, so don't blame her."

Shen Qinglan smiled and said, "Although Princess Zhaoyang is a little willful, fortunately she is not a treacherous or evil person. Besides, people who show their thoughts on their faces are actually easier to get along with."

When Shen Qinglan said this, it can be said that he meant it sincerely.

Compared to the Queen, who likes to hide her thoughts and says one thing in public and another in private, she really prefers to interact with Princess Zhaoyang.

After all, whether Princess Zhaoyang wanted to scheme against someone or wanted to get close to someone, it was clearly written on her face. Why would she go around in circles?

People with this kind of personality are actually enviable. You can tell at first glance that they have never suffered any grievances and have been protected and pampered while growing up.

Of course, Emperor Jingren doted on Princess Zhaoyang very much. In fact, Shen Qinglan didn't think this matter had anything to do with Princess Zhaoyang's mother. She was more inclined to believe that Emperor Jingren might have other plans.

You know, people like Emperor Jingren have always been selfish people who put their own interests above all else. If it wasn't beneficial to him, he naturally wouldn't bother to do this.

But no matter what Emperor Jingren was thinking, it had nothing to do with her.

The Queen naturally understood what Shen Qinglan meant, but she didn't say much. She just smiled and said to Yun Lanxin beside her:

"I am also exhausted, so let Aunt Yun take you to Qiluo Palace to rest. You should stay in Qiluo Palace before you get married. If you need anything, just ask Aunt Yun for help."

"Yes, thank you, Queen."

Shen Qinglan did not refuse. She obediently bowed to the queen and then followed Aunt Yun who was pointing at her and went down.

This Aunt Yun was obviously not a talkative person. From just now until now, even when she was leading Shen Qinglan, she had no intention of talking.

Shen Qinglan had been looking at this Aunt Yun and knew that she was Yun Lanxin who had cast a curse on their son Yan.

At this moment, she was thinking about how to get the mother Gu back from Yun Lanxin and completely eliminate the trouble.

Yun Lanxin seemed to feel that Shen Qinglan had been staring at her. After she stopped outside the Qiluo Palace, she looked at Shen Qinglan and asked:

"This is the Qiluo Palace. Princess can rest here. The palace maids will serve you."

After a pause, Aunt Yun looked at Shen Qinglan again and said:

"I am just an ordinary servant. I don't know why the princess looks at me like this?"

Seeing Aunt Yun asking a question, Shen Qinglan just smiled and said:

"I just thought Aunt Yun looked familiar, and wondered if I had seen her somewhere before."

Aunt Yun glanced at Shen Qinglan, then shook her head and said:

"The princess is not very old, but I have been in the palace for many years. I must have never seen it before. The princess must have seen it wrong."

Yun Lanxin entered the palace more than ten years ago, so it is naturally impossible for her to know Shen Qinglan.

After all, the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion had long been insignificant, and there was no chance of it entering the palace, so there was no chance of finding someone familiar even if one took a casual glance.

Shen Qinglan smiled slightly, looked Yun Lanxin up and down, and then said as if he remembered something:

"Ah, I remember now. I remember reading a travelogue of Southern Xinjiang..."

"The travel notes describe people in southern Xinjiang as mostly having high noses, deep and bright eyes, and golden-brown pupils. The women are petite and look somewhat similar to Aunt Yun."
