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

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

Shen Ran got so many good things, so naturally he was thinking about the things that Ruan Liuying said.

What does the prince’s movements have to do with my eldest sister?

Although she didn't understand, since she had taken so many good things from Princess Ruan, she naturally had to help her. It was just to see what her elder sister was doing. It was not a difficult task, not to mention that Princess Ruan would not dare to harm the minister's daughter.

Thinking of this, Shen Ran happily returned to the yard.

From a distance, she saw Shen Qingran sitting in the house, with the good things she had obtained from Ruan Liuying during this period placed in front of her. Her heart was beating fast. Could it be that her elder sister discovered something?

Shen Ran knew he couldn't escape, so he entered the room and knelt in front of Shen Qingran.

"Sister, I..."

Before she finished speaking, Shen Qingran interrupted her and asked directly, "Were these things taken from Princess Ruan?"

"Do you still remember the Shen family motto?"

Shen Ran nodded reluctantly. She had already guessed that if her elder sister knew that she had these goodies, she would definitely catch her and teach her a lesson. She never thought that this would happen now.

"Sister, I'm just good friends with Princess Ruan, so she gave me these little things. What's wrong with that?" Shen Ran was not convinced in his heart, and even his tone was a little indignant.

Shen Qingran didn't expect her to be so stupid. She thought Ruan Liuying would really befriend her. "Do you know that Concubine Ruan is standing behind the Ruan family?"

Shen Ran stiffened her neck and didn't say a word, just listening to Shen Qingran talk.

When Shen Qingran saw her stubborn look, he felt inexplicably angry.

But Shen Ran was still mumbling, "Sister, actually Mistress Ruan is really nice. She is not as bad as you say. She even took me to meet a lot of people. You know, she took me to play together."

When she said this, she didn't know what she was thinking about, and her face turned red instantly.

However, Shen Qingran slapped the table when she thought of Lin Xi's advice to her to hold it in, and that Qiemo would reveal the affair between Shen Ran and Mr. Zhuang as soon as he came back.

Therefore, she is now trying her best to control her temper. At first, she thought that she was too strict, but now it seems that Shen Ran is really stubborn and cannot distinguish between good and bad.

"I have already informed the eldest princess that you are not feeling well. You will ask to leave the palace after a while. You should recuperate in this courtyard during this time." Shen Qingran closed his eyes and spoke.

"what?"

Shen Ran was unwilling to kneel anymore. She had not expected her elder sister to be so cruel as to put her under house arrest. She had just entered the palace, and if she left again, her reputation would be bad.

"Big sister, have you ever thought about me? If I leave the palace now, I don't know how many rumors will spread. Where will you be with me?"

Shen Ran was shocked. She didn't expect her elder sister could do this.

However, Shen Qingran had already made up her mind that if she was allowed to stay in the palace and the matter between her and Lord Zhuang became public, her reputation would be truly ruined.

Shen Ran was imprisoned in his own room, and two maids who were close to Shen Qingran were left outside the door to watch over him. She did this with the permission of the eldest princess.

Since it was the eldest princess who allowed them into the palace, she naturally didn't want them to make any comments that would affect her own reputation, so it was easy to borrow these people.

Lin Xi, who was watching from the side, came out and said, "Qingran, don't be angry."

Hearing this, Shen Qingran calmed down instantly. She asked, "You said that Princess Ruan attacked Shen Ran because of me, right?"

Lin Xi nodded, "Probably, because of the prince."

Shen Qingran was not the type to be manipulated. She said angrily, "If it's because of the prince, then I'll let her see that I don't want the things she spent so much effort on."

"Don't be impulsive. Some things can't be said casually. Take a good rest and we'll talk later."

·······

·······

Some time passed again.

Zhuang Sheng hadn't seen Shen Ran for a long time and was anxious. Even the people around him couldn't help but joked about him, saying that they thought he could really become the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

No one wants to see him now.

When he thought of this, Zhuang Sheng felt very aggrieved. It just so happened that he ran into the palace maid he had flirted with before on the road today, but he had forgotten her name.

Yun Duo didn't expect that Lord Zhuang would forget about her as soon as he turned around. She felt sad, but looking into Zhuang Sheng's eyes with a glimmer of hope, she pretended to turn around and ignore him.

"Master Zhuang, you teased me and now you don't even recognize who I am." Yun Duo said in a sweet voice and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, which was really heartbreaking to see.

Zhuang Sheng was frustrated by Shen Ran, so he naturally wanted to find other fun. When he saw Yun Duo in front of him, he knew that his fun was coming. Seeing her like this, he quickly understood her thoughts. When no one was paying attention, he touched her white and smooth hand and said teasingly: "It's Zhuang Sheng's fault. If it weren't for Zhuang Sheng, I would have failed the young lady's kindness."

Hearing this, Yun Duo felt extremely satisfied. She knew that Lord Zhuang must have her in his heart. Under her current circumstances, he naturally knew that she favored him.

"Master Zhuang, I'll wait for you in the small garden in the evening." Yun Duo whispered in her ear.

When Zhuang Sheng heard this, he was extremely happy. He had been waiting for her to say this. He stroked her palm, smiled, and nodded.

Wait until evening.

Zhuang Sheng sneaked out of the rest room and went to the back garden where they often met.

Yun Duo had been waiting for him here for a long time, carefully observing her surroundings, fearing that she would be noticed.

"Hey!"

Someone suddenly slapped her from behind. She was startled. She turned around and saw that it was Lord Zhuang, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Zhuang, you scared me." Yun Duo pretended to be angry and prepared to leave.

How could Zhuang Sheng let her leave? He quickly grabbed her hand and said pleadingly, "Don't go, Yun'er. I was wrong. I shouldn't have scared you. Don't be angry with me. I brought you something good tonight."

Hearing that there was something good, Yun Duo really stopped, turned around, spread out his hands, and asked, "What is the good thing?"

Zhuang Sheng did not try to hide his feelings. He took out a worthless hairpin that he had kept on his body, put it on her head, bit her ear, and whispered, "Yun'er, this hairpin will go well with you."

Hearing this, Yun Duo's heart softened all of a sudden. She leaned against Zhuang Sheng and said in a tearful voice, "Zhuang Sheng, I have given you everything. Please don't let me down."

When Zhuang Sheng heard the word "sincerely", his heart and eyes were filled with disdain, but he did not show any of it on his face. Instead, he hugged her shoulders even tighter.

The two of them made love here again.

Zhuang Sheng left with satisfaction, and even forgot about the fact that Shen Ran had ignored him for some time.

However, he didn't expect that Ruan Liuying would send someone to urge him to get Shen Ran as soon as possible. But now he didn't even have a chance to meet him, so how could he get him? He was very anxious.

However, he can only take one step at a time now.

In Aster.

A piece of tranquility.

Lin Xi was reading a book, the candlelight flickering. Hearing footsteps, she turned her head to look at the door and saw Liuyun with a sullen face.

Liuyun stumbled into the house and couldn't stop crying when she saw Lin Xi. Ever since the last incident, she had been keeping an eye on Yun Duo. She didn't expect that she was now involved with Lord Zhuang.

"Is it because of your good friend and that Lord Zhuang?" Lin Xi turned her head, as if she didn't see her crying.

Liuyun choked up and said, "Miss Lin, what do you think we should do?"

Lin Xi frowned slightly, looked at her expressionlessly, and asked again: "Do you really want to save her?"

"Of course, I really want to save her. Although Yun Duo is a talkative person, she is also really kind to me. When I first entered the palace, I fell seriously ill and the nanny ignored me. It was she who stayed by my side and saved my life."

Liuyun spoke with true feelings.

Lin Xi also understood, and continued: "If you want to save her, you must understand that there are no complete secrets in the palace. If you want to protect her, you can only put all the blame on that man."

Liuyun was surprised. She thought to herself, how could she put all the blame on the man?

"He is a Jinwu Guard. Can we really blame him?"

Liuyun couldn't believe it.

Lin Xi nodded, "What is impossible in this world?"

Thinking of this, she decided to look at the classics again tomorrow.

······

The next day.

Lin Xi was flipping through the classics, but he was a little absent-minded.

"What? Miss Lin is here again?" Chen Xun asked, walking from behind her to her front and taking the book from her hand. "You look so absent-minded, are you waiting for me?"

Lin Xi said bluntly, "Of course."

Chen Xun was stunned. He was just joking. He didn't expect that she was actually waiting for me here.

"I want to give you a gift, sir."

When Lin Xi saw him, a faint smile appeared on her face.

Chen Xun's eyes softened slightly, he lowered his eyes and looked at her, and asked curiously, "What gift?"

"How about the command of the Jinwu Guard?" Lin Xi looked back at him. She had now found the most comfortable state of getting along with Chen Xun. Now, she didn't need to pretend herself in front of him anymore.

"On the surface, the Jinwu Guards are the palace guards, but they do have the power to investigate officials privately." Lin Xi said calmly. Seeing that Chen Xu had no intention of interrupting her, she said, "But the jurisdiction of the Jinwu Guards is currently in the hands of the Ruan family!"

"If you want a stable society, it would be better to put the jurisdiction of the Jinwu Guard in the hands of a third party rather than the Ruan family."

Hearing Lin Xi say this, Chen Xun looked at her deeply and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Lin Xi continued, "The Jinwu Guard is now in the hands of the Ruan family. It has become rotten and has become part of the buying and selling of official positions. This is one reason. The second is that they are getting their hands on the palace maids."

"Third, the Jinwu Guards openly insulted the minister's daughter."

"Tell me, are these three charges enough?"

Chen Xun also smiled, pursed his lips, and looked at the jade tassel on her waist. When Lin Xi was not paying attention, he pulled it off and said with a smile: "Since you want me to do something, why not give me something?"

Lin Xi didn't expect him to be like this. She wanted to snatch it back, but under the current circumstances, it would not be a good idea to compete with her.

"But, what do you want to do by helping me like this?" Chen Xun curled up his fingers and held the jade tassel tightly in his palm.

Lin Xi squatted down, bowed earnestly, and said earnestly: "Master Chen, I want to ask for a chance from you. I believe that Master Chen will definitely be able to reach the position you want. At this time, why don't I join your camp first? Isn't it better?"

"Very discerning."

The smile on Chen Xun's face never faded.

"So, the first one needs to be done by an adult, and the next two, you just wait!"

After Lin Xi said these words, the two looked at each other and understood.

She was also a little shocked in her heart that Chen Xun didn't even ask her why she did these things. But just when they looked at each other just now, she understood that Chen Xun probably knew it.

After saying these words, she couldn't stay here for too long and had to leave.

An Liang, who was following closely beside Chen Xun, naturally saw everything that happened just now. He couldn't help but remind Chen Xun, "Master, don't you always hate others taking advantage of you?"

Chen Xun's expression instantly turned into his usual cold expression, "She only uses me."

An Liang: “…”

What is this? If a man only uses you, you are honored?

However, An Liang only dared to say this in his heart. He couldn't understand why his master's principles no longer applied in front of Miss Lin.

Now, the master is actually willing to be used by Miss Lin.

"However, we will have to do what Miss Lin did sooner or later, just in advance." An Liang followed Chen Xun's wishes and continued, "Will this matter affect the things that come later?"

Chen Xun shook his head. "It has been arranged long ago. How could it affect it?"

After hearing this, An Liang stepped back and began to prepare for this matter.

Lin Xi knew that Shen Ran would not be a peaceful person. During the time before he was about to leave the palace, she was afraid that he would listen to Ruan Liuying's instigation and do something detrimental to Shen Qingran.

Therefore, she had to make plans for Qingran in advance.

Some things cannot be explained clearly. If something happens to Shen Ran in this palace, it will affect more than just her.

The entire Shen family will suffer a great disaster.

The Ruan family was already at odds with the Shen family because of the last incident. They were afraid that the Shen family would turn against the prince, so they would naturally spare no effort to target the Shen family.

She had just left Chen Xun's place when she met someone she shouldn't have met on the road.

Lin Yuanyue covered her face and dragged her sick body, hiding in a corner of the palace wall. She had finally escaped from Concubine Ruan.

Only after hearing that Lin Xicai was in the palace did he try every means to find him.

"Sister."
