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

Suddenly, the Jinwu Guards passed by the pavilion where they were sitting, and Shen Ran's handkerchief was accidentally blown away and fell into the hands of a Jinwu Guard, who walked up and handed it to her.

Shen Ran blushed instantly. She had never thought that she would have such an accidental encounter like in a picture book.

"Miss Shen, this is your handkerchief." The Jinwu Guard said softly.

Originally, the Jinwu Guards did not often appear in the harem. They entered the harem only occasionally to avoid suspicion. But today they had specially come to the small pavilion in the back garden to meet them, so it was not surprising to see the Jinwu Guards.

Ruan Liuying naturally also noticed the girlish shyness on Shen Ran's face, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled softly.

After the Jinwu Guard left, she jokingly said to Shen Ran, "I didn't expect that this chance encounter with the picture book would fall on my sister."

Shen Ran was secretly delighted in her heart, as they would also secretly read picture books of young boys and girls in love.

Isn’t this kind of accidental encounter exactly the same as in the picture book?

"I guess my sister's peach blossom is about to arrive." Ruan Liuying spoke while pushing her.

Shen Ran couldn't stand such teasing, his face flushed, and he replied in a soft voice: "Princess Ruan, please don't say it."

She held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, not letting go. "I don't know who he is yet! It's too early to say that now. Besides, my parents have made the decision and the matchmaker has said it, so I can't decide my own marriage privately."

Ruan Liuying naturally understood the hidden meaning of her words, and holding her hand, he whispered, "Don't worry, to be selected into the Jinwu Guard, his status, position, appearance, and knowledge must be good. I will help you find out about this person later."

She nodded shyly.

······

Liuyun used to go look for Yunduo whenever she had time, but she went to look for Yunduo in the past few days but came back empty-handed and didn't see her. She was also absent-minded when serving Lin Xi, and today she even smashed the teacup in front of Lin Xi.

She finally opened her mouth and asked, "Liuyun, what happened to you today?"

Liuyun hesitated for a long time before speaking, "Miss Lin, I am worried about my good friend Yunduo. I haven't seen her in the past few days. I wonder if she was punished by the nanny."

Hearing this, Lin Xi nodded, "Don't think too much, I'm afraid she has been busy with her work these days. If you are worried, you can go find her now."

Liuyun looked at Lin Xi with gratitude and was about to get up and leave.

Lin Xi didn't know what he was thinking of, and suddenly said, "Why don't I go with you?"

The two of them walked to the back room where Yun Duo was, but there was no one on her bed.

Seeing Liuyun's anxious look, Lin Xi comforted him softly, "Wait and see."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard quiet laughter outside.

"Master Zhuang, please send me here! I'm here already." This was Yun Duo's voice.

That Mr. Zhuang said in a flirtatious tone, "There are more than that sent here."

As they were talking, no one knew what they were doing, only the sound of suppressed laughter could be heard.

Liuyun's face turned pale when he heard this, and he felt very embarrassed when he saw Lin Xi was also here.

Yun Duo had just sent Lord Zhuang away and walked into the house when she saw Lin Xi and the others. She was completely shocked because she didn't expect to see people as soon as she entered the house.

Under the current circumstances, she could only bite the bullet and walk up to Lin Xi, bow, and say, "Your servant greets Miss Lin."

She was extremely scared now, and didn't know how much Lin Xi and the others had heard.

Liuyun had never thought that Yunduo could do such a thing. She turned around and knelt in front of Linxi, saying, "Miss Lin, please keep what happened just now a secret."

When she first entered the palace, she saw the nanny killing anyone who had private dealings with someone. She had never thought that Yun Duo would be so bold as to lead people directly to this place.

There are not many people in the backyard today, but things cannot be hidden forever and others will not notice it. There will always be a day when it will be leaked.

"Miss Lin." Yun Duo heard Liuyun's words and knelt on the ground with her.

Both of them hung their heads in fear.

Lin Xi didn't want to get involved in these things, but she had already seen that the ideas of this good friend of Liuyun were not as simple as Liuyun thought.

If Liuyun has any vested interests with her in the future, I'm afraid he will become her stepping stone.

"I just came out for a walk today. What did you see?" Lin Xi said in a faint voice. She sat on the stool, her eyes slightly raised, and she motioned Liuyun to stand up.

Liuyun understood immediately and said quickly: "Thank you, Miss Lin. I will send you back now!"

After Lin Xi left, Liuyun couldn't help but said to Yun Duo, "Who exactly is that Lord Zhuang? How could you have private relations with someone like that?" When she said the last few words, she lowered her voice and looked around vigilantly.

Fortunately, Miss Lin was coming here today, and the people around were deliberately dismissed so that Yun Duo's affairs would not be exposed to the public. However, Yun Duo simply could not listen to what Liu Yun said.

She said nonchalantly, "It's something we both agreed to, so what?"

At this point, Yun Duo said with a look of joy: "Today, Master Zhuang said that he would marry me home in the future."

How is this possible?

If a lord in the palace married a maid who had left the palace, people would always gossip about him. Wouldn't her current situation give others more excuses?

Liuyun wanted to persuade her again, but she pushed him away and started to accuse him again, saying, "Aren't you just jealous that I'm prettier than you and will marry better than you in the future? Now you want to stop me from meeting Master Zhuang. What? If I don't meet Master Zhuang, will you go to find Master Zhuang again?"

Liuyun was devastated when she heard this. She had been thinking about Yunduo wholeheartedly and only wanted her best. What's more, they entered the palace together, and their feelings for each other were unmatched by anyone else.

Now, she could actually say such words and hurt herself for a man. She could never accept it in her heart. She was sadder than going home to see her mother.

Liuyun's tears accumulated in her eyes. She bit her breath and didn't want to cry in front of her. She pushed her away and ran out, following Lin Xi's pace.

She has already seen clearly that no one is worth it, no one else deserves her wholehearted kindness.

······

Zhuang Sheng never thought that he could have two peach blossoms at once. He was feeling very proud of himself in the resting place of the Jinwu Guards.

Others naturally noticed his expression and came up to him, asking, "Zhuang Sheng, did you succeed again?"

Zhuang Sheng just smiled and said nothing. He pretended to be mysterious. He took a sip of water, looked at them and smiled, then continued, "You all said it, I succeeded, what else can I say?"

"Zhuang Sheng, I saw you pick up a lady's handkerchief today. The lady's cheeks turned red when she saw you. And you still say you didn't succeed?"

Hearing the joke, Zhuang Sheng also acquiesced. He has always had a talent in this area. What's more, he is one of the best looking people in the Jinwu Guard. His skills in seducing people have always been good. However, he is also an unstable person and never takes anyone seriously.

No one knows how many people he has let down until now, and even he himself has not counted them carefully.

"Tell me quickly. I heard that the noble lady you met today is the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. The eldest princess personally asked for someone to enter the palace to accompany you. If you become the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo in the future, will you still worry about your career?"

Among the Jinwu Guards, except for the most critical positions, most of them are sinecure, so some people can enter the Jinwu Guards through the back door.

Zhuang Sheng and his close friends basically came in through the back door.

"My relationship with the young lady of the Duke Zhenguo's family is not what you said." Zhuang Sheng smiled ambiguously. Others already knew what she was thinking, but everyone kept it to themselves and did not say it directly.

He had already been confident of victory over Shen Ran. How could the maids in the palace possibly help him in his career? It would be best for him to find a good father-in-law.

The Duke of Zhenguo, isn’t that it?

When he thought of this, he felt that he would be a high-ranking official in the future, and he was extremely happy in his heart.

Seeing Shen Ran's appearance today, it is only a matter of time to take her down. It will be easy, but I can't be too abrupt and make her think slowly.

After all, the Jinwu Guards could not enter the harem and see her every day.

"What about the maid? Did she succeed?"

Someone asked sarcastically.

Zhuang Sheng smiled, spread out his hand and took out a scarlet mandarin duck bellyband. Everyone became excited when they saw it, and everyone scrambled to see the bellyband in his hand.

I don't know how many vulgar words were said in this room that night.

Lin Xi returned to the yard, but he didn't expect that such a scoundrel would appear in the palace.

However, she thought it was normal. It was extremely difficult to find someone to talk to in the deep palace. There were many things she didn't know when she could say them. Under the current circumstances, it was natural for the palace maid to be involved with the Jinwu Guards.

As soon as Liuyun returned to Ziyuan, he saw Lin Xi sitting in the boudoir, and he knelt on the ground, "Miss Lin, I really dirty your eyes tonight."

She was now filled with guilt for letting Miss Lin follow her and witness such a dirty thing.

However, Lin Xi didn't care and just asked her, "You and Yun Duo have a very good relationship, right?"

Liuyun nodded.

"Have you ever thought that her actions will affect you one day if something happens in the future?" Lin Xi asked.

Liuyun was obviously stunned for a moment. She had never thought about this before. She raised her head woodenly and said, "Yunduo, no."

It is difficult to draw the bones of a tiger even though you can draw its skin; you can know a person's face but not his heart. Lin Xi has always kept this sentence in mind. When he saw Liuyun's look, he just shook his head and said nothing more.

She and Liuyun had only been together for a short time, so she couldn't say anything too clearly. If she said too much, it would be her fault if he didn't help her in the future. She had experienced many things like this in her previous life, so she would not take the initiative to get involved in other people's lives in this life.

"Forget it. I have to prepare for the assessment in the future. Don't let me know about these things. Do you understand?"

Seeing the tone of Lin Xi's voice, Liuyun knew that she had let Miss Lin down with her words and actions this time. She kowtowed and then retreated, hiding in her room, wiping her tears.

Wait until the day of the etiquette and law assessment.

The weather was getting colder and everyone was wearing thicker clothes.

Shen Qingran and Shen Ran also got the eldest princess's permission to watch from the side.

Shen Ran always exchanged glances with Ruan Liuying when he was not paying attention. Shen Qingran didn't notice it, but Lin Xi saw it all.

The relationship between them is actually getting better and better.

The etiquette this time was not like the previous rigid examination of the contents in the original book. It was more flexible. Even Changsun Changhua, who was familiar with this aspect, couldn't help but change his expression.

Lin Xi was the first to hand in her paper. She had been studying hard lately just for today.

Finally, after handing in the paper, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing her hand in the paper so easily, Ruan Liuying couldn't help but wonder if she had already known the questions.

Or, did she cheat?

How could it be so easy?

I must catch her cheating in the future. Thinking of this, Ruan Liuying worked more seriously on the questions.

This assessment ended very quickly.

Everyone passed, except Murong Pei'er.

Changsun Changhua had the best relationship with Murong Pei'er, so he was naturally sad for her. The two of them stood under the tree, and no one knew what to say.

Shen Qingran and Shen Ran were standing on the corridor waiting. Seeing Lin Xi getting closer, Shen Qingran's face was full of joy and pride, but Shen Ran's eyes were full of disdain.

She never understood why her elder sister wanted to be friends with Lin Xi, who was of such a low status.

Ruan Liuying is a princess, and there are not many people in the palace who have the status of a princess. However, the eldest sister has become enemies with Princess Ruan. She really does not recognize a great person.

When she saw that Lin Xi and Shen Qingran were on good terms, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Ruan Liuying watched Lin Xi and Shen Qingran talking and laughing, and followed them over. She had a smile on her face, but it was hard to tell how much smile was in her eyes. She was on guard against Shen Qingran and Lin Xi.

After all, one is the prince's favorite, and the other is the queen's favorite. Both of them will be her future enemies.

Only if I find an opportunity now to prevent them from appearing in the palace again, my position will be more stable in the future.

Thinking of this, Ruan Liuying's smile widened. She looked at them and said, "Why are you all staying here? Why don't you come sit over there and chat with me? I've been bored these days."

Upon hearing this, Shen Ran immediately responded: "Since Princess Ruan has spoken, it is naturally a good thing."

As she spoke, she looked at Shen Qingran's face, but seeing no good expression on her face, she quickly shut her mouth.

Shen Qingran then said, "Princess Ruan, that's not necessary. We still have something to say."
