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

Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the shocking red marks on the maid following behind her, "What? Did she bully you?"

Everyone was surprised to see the prince. Seeing that he treated Shen Qingran differently, they immediately became respectful to her.

Ruan Liuying was extremely angry. She had never thought that the prince would ignore her when he came here. She clenched her hands and said in a deep voice, "Prince, you are too partial to one and neglect the other. She was the one who bullied me first. Everyone present witnessed it."

But Zhao Fengshi raised his eyelids slightly: "Miss Shen's temper is the most considerate in the capital. How could she bully you? Unless you provoked Miss Shen first, otherwise why would she do something to offend you? If that's the case, then you deserve it."

"Prince?"

Ruan Liuying didn't expect that Zhao Fengshi could say this without mercy. Her mind was blank. The person in front of her was the prince, so she didn't dare to say anything in rebuttal.

"What's more, the prince just sent someone to invite Miss Shen to the East Palace. Princess Ruan, you are stopping her now. What exactly do you mean? Do you want to go against the prince?" The official beside the prince stood in front of them.

Zhao Fengshi glanced at her with annoyance and shouted, then stood in front of Shen Qingran, blocking Ruan Liuying's sight, "Find out how the maidservant next to Miss Shen got injured."

Hearing this, the official took immediate action, waved his hand and called a group of people over, and dragged all the servants away.

Shen Qingran saw Ruan Liuying's face turn pale and blue, "Princess Ruan, I have no intention of competing with you, why do you have to keep staring at me? What's more, I don't owe you anything, why do you always bully me?"

Ruan Liuying stared at Shen Qingran, watching her standing next to the prince. The atmosphere between them was very intimate, and his whole body became very ferocious.

"You have been so aggressive in your words and actions in front of me. I think it's because the Imperial Concubine dotes on you too much. I order you to send someone to ask the Imperial Concubine to be a nanny for me and send her to Fengzao Palace."

This sentence hit Ruan Liuying hard in the face, and it could even be said that it made her feel ashamed in the palace.

"Prince, you..."

She had never thought that the prince was such a ruthless person and showed no mercy to her at all.

She had never encountered such a thing in her life. Now under such circumstances, no one knew what was going on.

But in her heart she hated the prince for not liking her; she also hated Shen Qingran. If it weren't for her appearance and seizing the initiative in front of the prince, the prince would not have completely ignored her.

When she thought of this, the resentment in her heart emerged and she staggered away.

"Princess Ruan, please stay." The official called Ruan Liuying to stop, walked up to her and said, "Since the prince has ordered a nanny to take care of you, it will be inconvenient for you to participate in the female official assessment."

Hearing this, Ruan Liuying's eyes widened, "What do you mean? What do you mean?"

The officer said, "It's what I just said. It's inconvenient for female officials to participate in the assessment."

He has been with the prince for so many years, so naturally he knows what is in the prince's mind.

The prince doesn't like the Ruan family, so naturally he won't like anyone in the family. No one knows why Princess Ruan insists on getting close to the prince. Now that things have gotten like this, they've taken this opportunity to deprive her of the opportunity to take the assessment as a female official, making it impossible for her to hang around the prince openly.

Otherwise, Concubine Ruan would always find a way to send her to the prince.

I don't know what's going on with the Ruan family. They don't support the Ninth Prince, but they want to come to the Crown Prince's side. The Crown Prince is not an intolerant person. Who told them to do such a thing back then?

Concubine Ruan once had a child, but she pretended to have a miscarriage and blamed it on the Queen, which sowed discord between the Queen and His Majesty. The Crown Prince was also affected during those years, and he lived on thin ice.

The relationship has finally been eased over the past few years, and the Crown Prince has become more and more respected in front of His Majesty.

······

"What exactly do you want to do?"

When Qin Yue came back, she saw Ruan Liuying crying.

Could something have happened in my grandfather's house?

"Lin Xi, what are you thinking about?" Shen Qingran also followed Lin Xi's gaze and couldn't help but ask.

Retracting his thoughts, Lin Xi looked at Shen Qingran who looked confused, and replied with a smile: "Nothing."

Her maternal grandfather was from the famous Xie family, which had produced many famous civil officials. But for some reason, when it came to her maternal grandfather's generation, the family did not allow people from the same branch to enter officialdom, but instead allowed people from side branches to enter the officialdom.

As for the mother, she has always been an existence that cannot be mentioned in the clan.

Although she grew up in Yecheng, her grandfather and his family actually disliked her very much. Even her cousins ​​excluded her intentionally or unintentionally.

She knew from a young age that her cousin Xie Fangyan was the most gifted person in the clan. When everyone else was still a little slow in studying, Xie Fangyan had already understood how to be an official.

However, his grandfather had always disagreed with him coming to Kyoto, and instead asked him to prepare to accept the position of patriarch of the Xie family.

When she left Yecheng, Xie Fangyan was still rejecting his grandfather's decision, but why did he appear in Kyoto now? Could it be that his cousin had fallen out with his grandfather?

Lin Xi was stunned and watched him disappear into the crowd.

When Lin Xi thought of this, he always wanted to go and see what was going on.

The most worrying thing is that something happened in the family of the foreigner, so Xie Fangyan had to come to Kyoto.

Lin Xi also noticed that Xie Fangyan was not accompanied by the servant boy who had served him since childhood. His cousin had always kept this person by his side, so how could he not show up?

All doubts will only be resolved after he meets his cousin.

"What's wrong? Who did you see that makes you so distracted?" Shen Qingran couldn't help but ask. He even stuck his head out to look outside, but didn't see anything suspicious, so he turned to look at Lin Xi.

"It's okay, I just had my eyes blurred. Speaking of which, your marriage may not be really settled." Lin Xi comforted her and continued, "Master Chen, his situation is more troublesome than you think. If his marriage could be easily settled, it would have been settled long ago. Why wait until today?"

"Yes, if it's really as you said, I would feel better. However, because my mother said she wanted to get engaged to him, I secretly checked him out. I didn't expect that Mr. Chen is such a love-struck person and actually has a white moonlight."

Shen Qingran babbled on and on:

"I heard that he was not favored or valued in the Chen Mansion in his early years. He was accompanied by a little maid and was very affectionate to her. Later, when he passed the imperial examination, the people in the Chen Mansion wanted to use the maid's life to control Master Chen. Unexpectedly, the little maid also had a strong personality and committed suicide directly."

"Suicide?" Lin Xi frowned slightly, "No wonder."

"Yes, no wonder Master Chen has never married or had children in all these years. Logically speaking, he is older than us."

"Ah."

Shen Qingran looked at Lin Xi and couldn't help asking, "What's going on between you and Master Chen?"

"What's the matter?" Lin Xi smiled and tried to call casually.

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingran continued, "Don't tell me that. Although my brother didn't tell me, the servants around him saw it. It was you and Master Chen who sent him back together."

"If you and Master Chen are in love, I will be a sinner."

"What sinner?" Lin Xi smiled, watching Shen Qingran throw himself into her arms and roll around like a spoiled child. "How can he be as important as you?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingran was very proud, and then said: "There is something I need to tell you."

As she spoke, she sat up straight, looked at her and said, "Your second sister actually offended Concubine Ruan. The Ninth Prince's concubine, following Concubine Ruan's order, sprinkled poison on her face every day. Now she is tortured beyond recognition. She is still cursing you, saying that her current situation is all caused by you. I tell you this just to prepare you."

"Hmm?" Lin Xi noticed that she looked different. "What's going on?"

"Noble Concubine Ruan, I'm afraid she will invite you into the palace in the next few days." Shen Qingran continued, "I'm afraid there is a trick. Anyway, if it is true, Noble Concubine Ruan will invite you into the palace, and she will be a noble lady. I'm here, and I'll accompany you."

Most people would not think of getting involved in such muddy water. Lin Xi was moved, held her hand, and said, "If Concubine Ruan really wants to harm me, I'm afraid you won't be able to find any chance to help me, and you can only wait for the enemy to come and the water to come. Don't worry, I have a way."

······

When Chen Xun heard that Old Lady Chen actually wanted to use marriage to control him, he just sneered.

"However, the old lady has no choice but to think of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Miss Lin is very close to the Duke of Zhenguo's legitimate daughter. I'm afraid she has already known about it?" An Liang said.

Chen Xun did not speak, but just asked: "Is there anything else the old lady is going to do?"

"The old lady doesn't dare to make big moves, and she is also keeping an eye on the master." An Liang lowered his head and continued, "Master, this time you handed over the evidence of corruption and bribery of the first and second wives, which naturally hurt them greatly, but you still have to take care of your own reputation."

Chen Xun sat at a small table on the rockery, with a glazed green bamboo screen behind him. Spots of sunlight leaked through the branches and leaves of the ancient trees beside him. He sat against the light, with a layer of light and shadow on the side of his face.

He casually threw the piece of meat in the basin beside him into the small garden below and watched leisurely as the tiger pounced on the piece of meat and devoured it with its fangs. He then threw down another piece.

However, there was not only one beast in the room. There were also several other even hungrier tigers. When they smelled the meat and ran out, the beasts started fighting with each other, raising dust all over the yard.

His movements were smooth and flowing, making it a pleasure for the onlookers to watch.

"What is it?"

Chen Xun wiped his hands and watched An Liang hand him a simple and elegant rosewood box. The outside of the box was inlaid with gems, which were crystal clear and had a smooth texture.

An Liang said, "This was sent by the old lady. It is said that when the master sees it, he will know what it is."

Chen Xun opened the box and saw a yellowed handkerchief. The handkerchief was just made of ordinary silk and was not worthy of being put in the box at all. However, after seeing the box, Chen Xun's eyes, which had always been calm, trembled a little.

With a trembling hand, he picked up the handkerchief, held it tightly in his hand, and said through gritted teeth: "She is finally willing to return this thing to me."

When Chen Xun spoke, his words were full of hatred.

"By the way, my master, Concubine Ruan specially sent someone to invite Miss Lin to the palace banquet this time. I'm afraid she is going to do something." An Liang said.

Chen Xun sneered and said, "Noble Concubine Ruan, I still don't understand why His Majesty abandoned her."

"Yes, if there is no one, your majesty will naturally not like her anymore." An Liang continued, "Your majesty, you want Concubine Ruan to compete with the prince, but Concubine Ruan is only thinking about her own face and doesn't even want to compete. How can your majesty really still like her?"

Chen Xun looked at An Liang, smiled faintly, and did not answer him.

An Liang lowered his head and looked at Chen Xun in front of him. He guessed these things only because Chen Xun revealed them to him on purpose. His master was as smart as a demon in this regard.

"Should we remind Miss Lin?" An Liang opened his mouth and asked.

"No need." Chen Xun replied, "She will solve it herself."

······

······

The next day.

Lin Xi took Lin Min out to pick out stationery, originally thinking that he would have some good stuff with him.

"Sister, I'm really useless now. I've been spending your money." Lin Min couldn't help but speak.

Lin Xi smiled and said, "This money is not a lot of money, it should be spent. Now you only think about how to pass the imperial examination, so that my money will not be wasted. Also, you must consider many aspects of your marriage."

She was not worried about Lin Min's homework. She was just afraid that Lin Xiu or someone else would set their sights on his marriage and use marriage as a bridge, just like she did in her previous life.

Lin Min smiled and said, "No, my brother naturally understands the importance of this matter."

"Okay, the things have been bought. By the way, how confident are you that you can pass the entrance exam to the holy school out there?" Lin Xi asked.

In fact, it should not be difficult to become a teacher's disciple and take the exam for sacred learning.

"Ninety percent sure." Lin Min's eyes moved slightly. During this period of time, under the guidance of his teacher, he clearly felt the improvement of his knowledge.

For the sacred learning, His Majesty has specially set up an examination hall during this period. The examination has three levels, and each level is extremely strict.

Even more, if you graduate from the Holy School, you can become your Majesty's disciple.

With such an honor, which scholar wouldn't want to give it a try?

Lin Min naturally wanted to rush forward as well.

"There can only be one person in a family. Mei Yuanxi is also a quota in our house, so you have to be careful." Lin Xi knew what kind of person Mei Yuanxi was. He seemed kind, but in fact he could do anything. It was because of his kindness and ability to make people approach him that he would take advantage of others.

"Sister, don't say that about Brother Mei. I believe he won't do anything to me. We are competing fairly." Lin Min said.

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, looked at Lin Min and pursed his lips without saying anything, he didn't expect that Lin Min was also deceived by his appearance,
