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

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

After saying this, Ruan Liuying did not insist. She smiled and stopped talking. She looked at Shen Ran who was standing inconspicuously at the back, then turned around and left with her men.

Not long after she left, Shen Ran suddenly covered his stomach, frowned, and said, "Sister, my stomach hurts."

When Shen Qingran heard this, he quickly ordered someone to comfort her, with a worried look on his face.

She has always cared about her sister Shen Ran, but she didn't expect Shen Ran to pretend in front of her.

Shen Ran walked for a long time, looked at Shen Qingran's maid beside him, and said, "Go find me some water first, I want to drink now."

The maid had no choice but to look for water everywhere.

Shen Ran went to look for Ruan Liuying only after he saw the maid who had blocked his way had walked away.

Ruan Liuying just deliberately gave Shen Ran a look, asking her to come over to her, but she didn't expect that she really came.

The two of them would usually meet in Ruan Liuying's bedroom, which was specially cleaned up by Concubine Ruan for her to live in. There was a large patch of roses planted in front of the bedroom.

Ruan Liuying was sitting among the flowers, looking at Shen Ran who came in with a smile on her face.

Qin Yue didn't expect Shen Ran to be so stupid, so she whispered in Ruan Liuying's ear: "Princess, if you want to know whether Lin Xi cheated or not, why not start with her?"

Ruan Liuying gently waved her palm-leaf fan. When she heard what she said, she paused and placed her hand on Qin Yue's arm to stop her. She said, "She is my chess piece to deal with Shen Qingran. Don't move."

She had already made up her mind that Shen Ran was the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo. If she damaged the reputation of all the female relatives of the Duke of Zhenguo, how would Shen Qingran enter the palace?

Thinking of this, the smile on Ruan Liuying's face became even brighter.

But Shen Ran didn't know about this at all. She came close to Ruan Liuying and kept asking, "Princess, why are you laughing so happily? Do you have any jokes? Why don't you tell me?"

Hearing her words, Ruan Liuying leaned back on the chaise longue, turned her wrist, and waved the palm-leaf fan, blowing the wind on her face and blowing the broken hair on her temples. She only said softly, "This is indeed very interesting. It's not that I can't tell you, but I can't do it now."

Hearing this, Shen Ran became even more interested. He grabbed her hand and asked, "Sister, what's going on? Please tell me quickly!"

The more Ruan Liuying said that, the more curious she became about what could have happened that would make her not tell her.

But looking at her expression, she probably wouldn't say anything, so Shen Ran also stopped talking and started complaining with her, "I don't know what my eldest sister is thinking. When she saw the girl from the Lin family, she just treated her as her biological sister and left me aside without caring about her."

Ruan Liuying heard this and showed a distressed expression on her face. She said, "If your elder sister doesn't love you, then naturally I will. From the first time I saw you, I treated you as my sister. Having such a good sister like you, but not loving her and only loving outsiders, it means your elder sister has no vision."

Shen Ran was deeply moved by what she heard. That's right, her elder sister was so short-sighted that she only thought about Lin Xi's goodness and didn't even think about the hardships she had faced since entering the palace.

"Princess Ruan, I know you treat me sincerely."

"You are not good to me." Ruan Liuying couldn't help but hold her hand tightly, and then said: "There is something I need to tell you. The person who picked up your handkerchief last time cried and begged to come to me for some reason, just to see you again. I specially asked her to come to this yard today to move the flowers. Please don't blame me for being nosy."

Shen Ran had originally forgotten about that person, but when he heard her say that, he couldn't remember what that person looked like for a moment.

Ruan Liuying naturally saw her expression and said, "Come to think of it, you are also the daughter of the Zhenguo Duke, why don't they find you a good marriage? I heard that your elder sister has already recommended many people."

At this point, Shen Ran's expression became depressed. She complained, "This matter is all because of my eldest sister. She hasn't settled down for so many years, so our marriage can only be postponed."

"I don't know. Do you know that your elder sister and the prince want to see it?"

Shen Ran was greatly shocked. She had always known that the men her family was planning to meet were not as well-off as the men from the Zhenguo Mansion. She also didn't know why, but the man she looked down upon might potentially become her husband in the future.

She was not satisfied at all, and when she heard Ruan Liuying say this, her dissatisfaction burst out.

"I see that you are not bad looking, gentle and intelligent, how can you not be as good as your elder sister? Your family is really biased." At this point, Ruan Liuying pretended to wipe away her tears and said, "I had a disagreement with your elder sister because of a misunderstanding when I met the prince. Your elder sister thought that I had influenced her."

"Hey."

Ruan Liuying put the handkerchief down again and continued, "In my eyes, you are worthy of such a good marriage."

Shen Ran was already dissatisfied in his heart, and now after hearing what she said, he naturally became even more inflated.

Seeing that she had already relaxed, Ruan Liuying continued to strike while the iron was hot, "Speaking of which, the Jinwu Guard who took a shine to my sister at first sight is from a family of the second rank or above. His ancestor inherited the title of marquis and is very famous in the Yuyang area."

Shen Ran reacted immediately, "Yuyang Zhuangjia?"

"But wasn't the title of Marquis of the Zhuang family taken away by the previous generation? Moreover, the Zhuang family is now occupying an idle second-rank official position. It sounds good, but it has no real power."

The Zhuang family seems to be not much different from the Zhenguo Mansion, but if you look at the actual power, there is a big difference.

Ruan Liuying didn't expect Shen Ran to know so much about this, so she could only continue, "Well, I heard that your family is also preparing for your wedding."

"What?" Shen Ran didn't expect that she was still in the palace, but people outside were preparing for her wedding. "But mother never told me."

"That's because the person your mother gave you the chance to see is from your mother's family. How could she tell you? Moreover, everyone in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion agreed to this matter."

When Shen Ran heard this, she became indignant. She said sadly, "Why should my elder sister's marriage be carefully chosen, but my marriage is decided so hastily?"

When she thought of this, the anger in her heart was instantly ignited.

So, when Ruan Liuying deliberately let Zhuang Sheng in to move the potted plants, she allowed it in silence.

There was still some anger in her mind, and Ruan Liuying left without her noticing.

"Miss Shen, my name is Zhuang Sheng." As he spoke, a blush appeared on Zhuang Sheng's handsome face. "I am sorry for being rude and offending you."

As he spoke, he bowed his waist and saluted in her direction, and then continued: "Although I am sorry for the offense, I have to tell you, Miss Shen, from the first time I saw you, I admired you from the bottom of my heart."

He did not directly say that he loved her but admired her, which made Shen Ran feel relieved. She looked at him and felt nervous. After following her on the street for so many years, no one had ever ignored her elder sister and noticed him.

This time, Shen Ran asked first, "Have you met my eldest sister?"

"I know that you are Miss Shen San." Zhuang Sheng answered very cleverly. He did not answer directly, but he did answer the question again.

Shen Ran also followed his own preconceived ideas and thought that he must have seen his eldest sister.

······

someday.

The spy that Lin Xi placed next to Shen Ran suddenly told her that Shen Ran had been in close contact with the One-Life Jinwu Guard recently. Hearing this, she felt that it was a serious matter, and hurriedly pulled Shen Qingran to squat at the place where Shen Ran and the others were meeting secretly.

Shen Qingran didn't know about this yet. He just thought that she often came to see him these days, and it was even stranger recently, as he actually let her squat in an inconspicuous corner.

"Lin Xi, what's going on with you? If others see us squatting here, we'll be laughed at." Shen Qingran never ignored his status and squatted beside the bushes.

Although the location chosen by Lin Xi was very clever, with a rockery in front and grass on both sides behind and behind, and a heavy dust in here, it should not be seen by others, but she just didn't know why Lin Xi pulled her to squat here.

After a while, she heard a familiar voice in her ear and was about to show her head.

Lin Xi grabbed her and shook his head to signal her not to speak.

Shen Qingran suddenly became serious when he saw her expression.

Shen Ran and Zhuang Sheng did not have any excessive contact. Instead, she treated Zhuang Sheng as the object of her complaints and kept saying these words to her.

He said bad things about Lin Xi and also said bad things about Shen Qingran.

Shen Qingran's eyes widened. She didn't expect that in Shen Ran's heart, she was a selfish person who didn't care about her sister and only cared about herself. He even said that she had no true love for her and was just pretending in front of outsiders, and treated her like a slave behind her back.

She kept on talking about these things without stopping at all.

Zhuang Sheng also echoed her.

When Lin Xi heard the voice, he felt it was very familiar and he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Especially after hearing this, Shen Ran suddenly called out to the person beside him: "Master Zhuang."

She immediately thought of the palace maid, who was also involved with a Lord Zhuang.

This probably involves several girls.

This Lord Zhuang is also a good-for-nothing.

Shen Qingran originally wanted to go out immediately and catch Shen Ran to teach him a lesson, but Lin Xi waited until they left before letting go of his hand.

Shen Qingran was really furious. She couldn't help but say, "Lin Xi, why did you pull me just now? I really want to give her a good beating so that she will know what is good and what is bad."

"But, Qingran, there is something I have to tell you. That Master Zhuang is probably involved with more than just your sister. I saw him hooking up with a palace maid a while ago."

Lin Xi's face was solemn, and he continued, "I'm afraid that Mr. Zhuang is coming for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If you want to persuade Shen Ran, you have to be on guard."

In this palace, it's always right to be careful.

"What?" Shen Qingran's whole body began to shake when she heard her say this. She covered her chest and almost fell down. She hurriedly said, "Did you find out something?"

Lin Xi continued, "Master Zhuang has a terrible reputation both inside and outside the palace. He comes from a good family, the Yuyang Zhuang family, so he can naturally choose a good girl to marry, but because he is a playboy, he has countless romantic debts inside and outside the palace. If it weren't for his grandfather's contribution, he would have been kicked out long ago. How could he stay in the palace?"

"Besides, before he even reached the age of 15, he already had several concubines in his courtyard, and four illegitimate sons and daughters. How can such a person be considered a good match?"

From the first time Lin Xi met Shen Ran, she could tell that she hated her, so she didn't treat her as close to Qingran as she did, and always kept a distance from her.

"Lin Xi, this child met such a person. It's all my fault. If I hadn't cared enough about her, how could she have met such a person?" Shen Qingran shed tears while speaking. She grabbed Lin Xi's hand and leaned weakly on her. "I am her sister. How could I really hurt her? How can she not understand my intentions as a sister at all?"

The thought of this made her even sadder.

"Qingran, and she has been in too much contact with Princess Ruan." After seeing this situation, Lin Xi already understood Ruan Liuying's thoughts, "You must hold on. Under the current situation, you have to face it well!"

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Shen Qingran nodded and forced himself to stand up.

Shen Ran had just separated from Zhuang Sheng and was afraid of being discovered, so he hurried to find Ruan Liuying.

When Ruan Liuying saw her coming, she asked jokingly, "Why did you come to my place today after just chatting with Master Zhuang for a while?"

Shen Ranlian blushed instantly, and she pulled her shyly, "How could it be, how can the princess tease people?"

Ruan Liuying heard from her aunt that Donggong seemed to have made some moves, so she asked, "Your elder sister, has there been any unusual behavior in recent days?"

She was very worried. She thought the prince's behavior was related to Shen Qingran. She had been in the palace for so long, but she had never heard that the prince treated anyone differently.

Under the current circumstances, she could only get information from Shen Ran. When she heard this, she thought about it seriously, shook her head and said, "Sister always does things with reason and evidence. If there is any abnormal behavior, it is naturally not the case."

"Besides, if there is, Lin Xi also knows it." Shen Ran saw the concern in Ruan Liuying's eyes and said, "Wait until I go back and take a look, then I'll tell you."

"it is good."

After hearing her say this, Ruan Liuying smiled. She then took out her own toys and handed them to her, "These are all new things, just made. I'm giving them to you."

"Thank you, my lord. I'd be very sorry to refuse."
