Several women: "..."

"Okay, I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first. You guys go pack up, and someone will bring lunch over in a bit."

After saying this, Wang Huan walked away with big strides.

After leaving the yard.

He looked back thoughtfully at the few people standing in the yard who had not yet moved.

He came from the military and had always been with He Qingchen. Although he didn't fully understand the struggles among the women in the backyard, he wasn't stupid either.

Among the four people just now.

He is a man who jumps up and down, relying on his possible family background, and thinks he can still cause trouble in the palace.

One seems timid, but he answers every question accurately.

With just one sentence, the arrogance of the Li girl was aroused, making her look stupid and bad.

As for the other two, they remained silent throughout.

His eyes would occasionally look into the yard next door, as if he was exploring something.

Their eyes were clear, but their inappropriate silence made them look more thoughtful.

These people are definitely not simple.

I just don't know how the prince will handle this matter. Will he do the same as he did with the two concubines and just leave them in the backyard to fend for themselves?

still?

***

After Shen Guidi gave Wang Huan instructions, he planned to return to Fuyun Courtyard.

She didn't walk slowly.

But the maidservant behind him always followed closely.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Shen Guiyi saw that she wanted to follow him, so she turned her head and looked at her: "You don't have to follow me, go and do your own thing. I don't like too many people, and the four of them, Xiaoliu, are enough."

When the maid heard the voice, she paused, but still followed.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Shen Guidi stopped talking.

This was the maid that He Qingchen specially assigned to her, so that she could help and protect a little after entering the palace.

She and the one who stayed in the palace waiting for He Qingchen were both secret guards.

Staying with her is really a waste of talent.

Besides, she didn't want to go anywhere, and it was really inconvenient to have He Qingchen's people following her wherever she went. But she also knew that the first lesson they were trained to do since childhood was to be loyal to their master.

Since He Qingchen asked her to follow him, she would not dare to leave without his permission.

We can only wait until He Qingchen comes back.

Shen Guidi pressed his eyebrows with a little tiredness.

Xiaoliu, who was playing with a small fish in the yard, came over immediately when he saw her: "Princess, you are back?"

"Ah."

"Have you had your meal? Sister Chunlan said she plans to make some snacks for you today. I'll go see if she has finished making them and bring them to you in a while." Xiaoliu had just asked and was about to go to the small kitchen while talking to herself.

"No, I'm not hungry yet." Shen Guiyi walked into the house and said, "Come here and help me take off all this on my head."

To appear more formal, she wore the ceremonial dress of a princess today.

She also had a hair crown and a hairpin on her head, and a bunch of jewelry on it. Every step she took, she felt "frightened and nervous" and "top-heavy", and it was very difficult.

Xiaoliu looked at Shen Guidi strangely and hurriedly followed him.

Shen Guidi sat in front of the makeup mirror, and Xiaoliu gently removed the makeup on her face, and then removed the hairpins, earrings, and necklaces on her head, ears, and body one by one.

The secret guard who followed her in and out of the harem stood by with a tray of water, helping her wash.

While removing her makeup, Xiaoliu looked at the man several times.

A strong sense of crisis arose in my heart.

Shen Guidi also used the mirror to carefully stare at the secret guard. The secret guard was also handsome.

She has a tall and straight figure and looks very heroic.

Even though she was wearing a skirt that was not convenient for walking, she stood there for a long time holding the water tray, and she was still steady.

Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes met hers exactly, and then quickly drooped down.

But in just a short moment, Shen Guidi could see the determination and calmness in those eyes.

Shen Guiyi retracted his gaze and asked calmly, "What's your name?"

The secret guard was stunned for a moment, and answered intuitively: "Your servant, Yu Qi."

After a pause, she added, "The feathers of a bird."

Xiaoliu heard the voice, looked at her secretly, and made a little face to himself.

Yu Qi pretended not to see it and kept his eyes on Shen Guidi.

Shen Guiyi casually took a jade pendant from the box next to the dressing mirror and played with it, saying nonchalantly, "My Lord, what did I tell you? Did I tell you to keep an eye on my whereabouts every day? Or did I tell you to protect my safety?"

Yu Qi: "The Lord just told us to protect you, don't worry about other things."

Xiaoliu listened to this with confusion in his eyes.

"Xiao Liu, you go out first. Go tell Butler Wang that this princess needs some pens, ink, paper and inkstone, and ask him to send some over." Shen Guidi turned her gaze away from the dressing table and looked at Xiao Liu.

Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment and went there quickly.

There were two people left in the room.

Yu Qi frowned and thought for a while, then realized that Shen Guidi had deliberately sent people away.

"What did the prince say exactly?" Shen Guidi stared at her, wanting to see if this person could tell her what she wanted to know.

Yu Qi thought for a moment, "The prince came to the Anyu Camp last night to select us. His original words were, 'From now on, you will stay by the princess' side and make sure she is safe. If anyone makes things difficult for her, you don't have to be polite. Just go back. If there is anything, I will take care of it. If the princess needs help, you should be more proactive and never tire her, otherwise, I will never let you off easily.' Princess, these are the prince's original words."

Shen Guidi asked her in disbelief: "Is that all?"

"Well, that's all."

"In other words, you will follow me wherever I go from now on?" Shen Guidi's tone became colder. Yu Qi was a secret guard and was very sensitive to Shen Guidi's emotional changes.

There was a trace of confusion in her eyes, but she could only nod obediently.

"Heh...Does Prince Yan want you to protect this princess, or does he want this princess to be under his control all the time?"

Yu Qi frowned, very confused, but she didn't ask.

As secret guards, they just need to follow orders. There is no point in asking any unnecessary questions. It has nothing to do with them.

Seeing her silence, Shen Guidi knew that he was also making things difficult for her.

She took a few deep breaths, slowed down her voice, and said indifferently, "This princess doesn't like people following her all the time. It's like being in prison. When I'm outside, you can follow me if you want. You don't have to follow me in the mansion. You can go and rest by yourselves, or outside the yard. Anyway, don't show up in front of this princess, understand?"

Yu Qi hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Shen Guidi waved her hand and said, "Go down. Later, you can talk to the one who stayed in the palace...your companion."

As soon as Yu Qi went out, He Qingchen's voice was heard outside the yard.

Shen Guidi paused for a moment, then put away the coldness on his face, raised a soft smile, and looked towards the door.

"A'di, I'm back. Why did you come back by yourself?" He Qingchen's voice rang out before he even entered the house.
