After my rebirth, I was the most favored person in Beijing

Shen Qingran hadn't found Lin Xi yet, and was about to get up to look for her, but unexpectedly he ran into Concubine Ruan's niece on the road.

The two bumped into each other in Yongxiang. Ruan Liuying, the niece of Concubine Ruan, was arrogant by nature. When she saw Shen Qingran, who had always been weak in Kyoto, her face showed a bit more disdain.

"Miss Shen, how come you are in the palace?" Ruan Liuying knew that she could never be her competitor. Her family sent her to the palace with the help of Concubine Ruan, hoping to consolidate her favor, but Concubine Ruan told her.

Your Majesty will eventually grow old, so it would be better for her to marry the Crown Prince, who would be more worthy of her status.

How could Ruan Liuying not be moved? She was now beautiful and charming, but it would be better for her to look at the prince instead of being a match for the old man, His Majesty. The prince was almost at the age to choose a concubine. If she could have some friendship with him in the palace, then things that happened later would be natural.

"Why don't you get out of my way?" Seeing that she didn't move at all and didn't seem to be making way for her, Ruan Liuying looked at her coldly and said, "You are just a useless old girl. You have been staying in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for so many years. Don't you know your reputation outside?"

In her heart, she was always afraid that someone would suddenly appear and snatch her love away, allowing the prince to fall in love first.

This won't do. Especially since this daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo shouldn't be at this flower-viewing banquet. She's actually not bad looking, but she showed up anyway. Is she here just to see the prince?

Did she know from somewhere that the prince would also attend the flower-viewing banquet?

"What did you say?" Shen Qingran frowned slightly. The alley they were walking in was wide enough for them to pass each other, so why did she insist on giving way to her?

This person is really weird?

Where on earth is this person from?

"You don't know who I am?" Ruan Liuying understood what Shen Qingran meant from her eyes.

She doesn't even recognize herself?

Ruan Liuying was a little angry. She glanced at her, pointed at her, and said, "Don't you know me? I am the niece of Concubine Ruan and the future Crown Princess."

When Shen Qingran heard this, she looked at her as if she had seen an idiot. How could the niece of Concubine Ruan marry the Crown Princess? The Crown Prince was not a fool, how could he place Concubine Ruan's people around him as spies?

Everyone knows by now that the relationship between the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince has long been in dire straits.

In order to avoid being involved, my father tried to limit contact with anyone in the house.

"Well, Qingran would like to wish Miss Ruan that the future will be as you wish." Shen Qingran smiled slightly and spoke unobtrusively.

What's more, Shen Qingran took the initiative to move aside and make way.

"You, you better know your place." After saying that, Ruan Liuying wanted to leave, but she felt that what she said always had other meanings. "You'd better be sincere. Don't let anyone know that you say bad things about me behind my back, otherwise, I will make you pay."

When Shen Qingran heard this, her expression remained calm. After all, it was not like she had not heard such words before.

She was afraid that because she hadn't been out for a long time, people outside had forgotten her nickname of the devil.

This person actually came and said these words to her for no apparent reason.

Shen Qingran didn't want to bother with this any more, thinking that Lin Xi would not be at the table for a while, he had to go find her anyway, otherwise he would be plotted against in the palace.

She wanted to look for other places, but suddenly a sneer came from behind: "Miss Shen, you have a good temper."

Shen Qingran turned around and looked for the owner of the voice. After seeing clearly that the person was wearing jet-black silk and had a white dragon jade pendant around his waist, she immediately understood the identity of the person in front of her and immediately bowed, "My daughter Shen Qingran, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

She never thought that she would meet the prince in this place!

Before she knew it, she arrived at Huaqing Palace. The gorgeous attic was surrounded by pools of water. The clear green lake was covered in green shade. Prince Zhao Fengshi was lying on a crooked tree by the lake.

No one had expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who had just been at the table, was so majestic and overwhelming.

And now, he was lying on the crooked tree, watching leisurely what had just happened between her and Ruan Liuying.

In Shen Qingran's heart, she felt that the prince was too gossipy.

But after a long while, Zhao Fengshi didn't call her to get up. She just knelt on the ground, cursing him eight hundred times in her heart with all kinds of words without any roundabout way.

Zhao Fengshi jumped down from the tree, casually dusted himself off, walked up to her, reached out his hand to help her up, and said softly, "If it weren't for you disturbing my sweet dream, I would still be resting now."

So, making her kneel for a while just now was a punishment?

Shen Qingran didn't understand, but he could only pretend that nothing was wrong.

Ruan Liuying, who had just left, spent a lot of money to find out the whereabouts of the prince from the eunuch beside the prince, but she walked back and forth twice here but did not see the prince.

Ruan Liuying was so angry that she could only stamp her feet and angrily asked the little palace maid who followed her: "Why haven't you seen the prince yet? Have you not found out the prince's whereabouts at all?"

The little palace maid showed a look of fear and said quickly, "Of course I asked around. Eunuch Xiao Zongzi said that the prince would come here today. Why don't you walk around a little more? What if you meet him?"

Ruan Liuying gritted her teeth, thinking that she had already spent her money and walked around twice, so it wouldn't hurt to walk around one more time. If she really met the prince, maybe she could really have a relationship with him.

After all, she had been in the palace for almost two months and she had not seen the prince, nor had she spoken a single word to him.

The more Zhao Fengshi looked at Shen Qingran, the more familiar she looked to him. It was as if he had seen her before. He felt familiar for some unknown reason. This familiarity made him feel that Shen Qingran was much more pleasing to the eye than other noble ladies. "It's very hot today. What are you looking for outside?"

Shen Qingran didn't want to cause trouble for Lin Xi, so he just said, "I felt uncomfortable at the table, so I thought I could cool down here."

The sound of her speaking is also pleasing to the ear.

The more Zhao Fengshi looked at her, the more he liked her. He even felt that he should have met her earlier. For the first time, he felt that it was such a pity to meet someone so late.

But as the crown prince, he would have concealed his emotions long ago.

"Well, don't you like what's on the table? I can order someone to remake it." Zhao Fengshi said.

Shen Qingran didn't expect the prince to be so kind and approachable. She nodded and said, "No need. I will go back to my seat first."

She didn't want to get involved too much with the royal family.

There are so many secrets in the palace, and I know a lot of them, much more than ordinary people.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Ruan Liuying's coquettish voice came from afar, "So, Your Highness the Crown Prince is here."

If someone who knew nothing about her said this, they would think it was not the first time they met.

When Zhao Fengshi heard this, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. He turned around and looked at Ruan Liuying with cold eyes.

However, Ruan Liuying seemed not to notice at all. She bowed to Zhao Fengshi, smiled at him, and said, "Your Highness, I am Ruan Liuying, greeting Your Highness. I just saw flowers in full bloom in front of me. Why don't we go for a walk together?"

"Miss Shen, why don't we go together?"

As she spoke, she walked straight to Shen Qingran, took her hand, and was extremely intimate. She seemed like a completely different person from before.

Shen Qingran was a little surprised, but he didn't expect her to be so shameless.

And out of the corner of her eye, she seemed to have caught a glimpse of the prince's eyes, which were exactly the same as her own.

"No, I've rested enough. I want to go back to my seat." Shen Qingran pushed her hand away.

However, what she didn't expect was that Ruan Liuying's strength was even greater than she had imagined.

Ruan Liuying naturally would not let go. She had deliberately held Shen Qingran just now. From a distance, she saw the prince and Shen Qingran talking.

She came here just for the Crown Prince.

At such an old age, he still wants to compete with her for someone. He really overestimates his own abilities.

Your Highness, it's just that you haven't realized her goodness yet, so you are temporarily confused by her.

"Miss Shen, let's go over there together!"

The prince has spoken, so she has to go whether she wants to or not.

Ruan Liuying kept asking the prince questions along the way.

"Your Highness, what do you think of this flower?"

"good."

"Your Highness, what do you like to eat? I am the best at cooking. I can make some food for you on weekdays."

"Need not."

Along the way, Ruan Liuying could always find topics to talk about with Zhao Fengshi, not feeling tired at all.

Shen Qingran admired her a little in her heart, but for some reason, Zhao Fengshi suddenly turned the conversation to her.

His eyes were all on her, and he asked, "Miss Shen, what do you like to eat on weekdays?"

She was stunned for a moment, and then, seeing Ruan Liuying's eyes that seemed to want to kill her, she replied calmly: "Boiled chicken, sticky bean buns, braised pork..."

Shen Qingran mentioned several dishes in a row.

She just heard that Zhao Fengshi hated others wasting time on food, so she simply recommended a few more dishes to make him feel that he only thought about eating.

"Ok!"

Shen Qingran felt relieved when she saw that he only replied with this word faintly, even less than he replied to Ruan Liuying.

Followed by.

"It just so happens that my small kitchen can cook these dishes. When you leave the palace, I will have someone send a few dishes to your house so you can taste them."

"..."

She didn't want to taste it.

Ruan Liuying didn't expect that the prince would take the initiative to talk to Shen Qingran, and she didn't know what means she used to make the prince speak. The look she gave Shen Qingran became more and more unfriendly, but now she could only pinch herself hard and not reveal her true identity in front of the prince.

During this period of time, her goal was to save face in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and make sure that her plan was not affected.

No one can ride on her head and get the prince's kiss before her.

What's more, he was the sickly one whom she couldn't see clearly.

Ruan Liuying couldn't get a word in now. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kept asking Shen Qingran. She didn't even have a chance to speak. The smile on her face was broken.

Shen Qingran was also annoyed by the questions.

Why didn't anyone tell her that this prince was a chatterbox?

"Your Highness, I'm really tired from walking around. Why don't I go ahead and you and Miss Ruan continue walking?" Shen Qingran couldn't help but speak.

This statement naturally matched Ruan Liuying's thoughts, and both of them focused their eyes on Zhao Fengshi.

"Of course. If you are tired, go back to the table first." He said, "I also have official business to attend to, so I won't hang around any more."

Ruan Liuying didn't expect the prince to say such words directly.

She thought that if Shen Qingran had not suddenly appeared and disrupted her plan, she would be the one who would have the face in front of the prince, and her task as a parent would naturally be accomplished.

Ruan Liuying clenched her hands tightly, pretending to be calm. It's okay, she can still find a way.

Wouldn't it be better to just get rid of Shen Qingran?

After separating from the Crown Prince, Ruan Liuying had been following Shen Qingran closely. Shen Qingran had come out to look for Lin Xi, so she didn't bring anyone with her. Just now, the Crown Prince was there, so now she had no one around her.

When they reached a pavilion passing by the lake, Ruan Liuying suddenly called out to Shen Qingran, but Shen Qingran walked even faster.

Shen Qingran was not stupid. Her intuition told her that if she didn't run quickly, this jealous man would probably come up with some way to harm her.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and I met by chance. It's nothing serious. Don't think too much about it."

Shen Qingran explained directly without even turning his head.

She didn't want to get involved in this, but the faster she walked, the faster Ruan Liuying chased her, and the two of them chased each other.

"Plop" sound.

Shen Qingran didn't know how he fell into the lake.

Fortunately, she could speak. She struggled for a while and couldn't help drinking several mouthfuls of lake water. Finally, she splashed out of the water and looked at Ruan Liuying who was gulping down water beside her. She reached out and pulled her up.

She and Ruan Liuying fell into the lake together, and she finally pulled her out. But as soon as she got out, she looked at her aggrievedly and said, "Miss Shen, this is the first time we meet today, why did you push me?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingran was slightly speechless. When did she push her?

"It's just empty talk. If Miss Ruan insists that I pushed you, did anyone see it?" Shen Qingran was not someone to be trifled with. Since she was being bullied, she naturally couldn't just sit there and wait for death. "Since Miss Ruan thinks I pushed you, you should find witnesses and evidence."

Ruan Liuying quickly winked at the little palace maid behind her, and that person fell to her knees on the ground.

The master and the servant began to cry and accuse her.

Shen Qingran was so angry that she should have been let to drown in the lake.

She just happened to have no one around her, so there was nothing she could do.

"You must go with me to see the Imperial Concubine." Ruan Liuying asked the little palace maid to hold her back and refused to let him go.

She is really in a dilemma now.
