The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi

I don’t know if it was because he saw the surprise in Shen Nanzhi’s eyes, but a hint of embarrassment flashed across Xiao Chuyun’s handsome face.

He walked to a place three feet away from Shen Nanzhi's bed and stopped, looking a little uneasy, "I am a little rude, I shouldn't be so presumptuous, but I always feel uneasy without seeing Miss Shen in person."

The last bit of worry in Shen Nanzhi's heart was thus dispelled.

He was only concerned about himself, and also because he was concerned about her reputation and afraid that her mother and aunts would worry, he didn't come out in a clear way, but quietly climbed through the window to see her. What did he do wrong?

Thinking that he was the dignified King of Zhenbei, and was willing to do such a sneaky thing as climbing through the window for her, Shen Nanzhi's heart softened.

She couldn't help but wave her hand and smiled, "Don't blame the prince. I promised the prince that I could come over anytime."

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Chuyun's eyes lit up: "Really?"

When Shen Nanzhi finally reacted, she almost wanted to bite off her tongue.

She had promised him that he could come over, but she didn't say "anytime".

Now, she spoke too quickly and accidentally said something out of place.

Shen Nanzhi was about to correct it when he looked up and met Xiao Chuyun's eyes full of expectation.

His eyes seemed to be filled with thousands of stars, which could attract people at a glance.

Shen Nanzhi moved his lips and was about to speak when he saw Xiao Chuyun's eyes suddenly dim. He lowered his eyes and asked nervously, "Will this cause trouble to Miss Shen?"

There are definitely some troubles. After all, it is not appropriate for a foreign man of his age to come here just like that.

However, when Shen Nanzhi met those eyes full of expectation and Xiao Chuyun's cautious expression, she couldn't say no.

Moreover, her words reacted faster than her brain, and she almost blurted out: "It's okay, I've been recovering from my injuries recently and have been free."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but feel annoyed... Why did she agree to Xiao Chuyun's request?

Looking at the tall and slender figure standing in front of the bed.

He just stood there. Even though he had lowered himself in front of Shen Nanzhi and deliberately suppressed his powerful aura, there was still a kingly pressure emanating from his bones around him.

Today he was wearing a black brocade robe with dark patterns. The edges of the robe were embroidered with dragon patterns with gold thread. The golden threads sparkled in the sunlight, as if his entire body was covered with a layer of rosy glow, making his already handsome face even more beautiful like a banished immortal.

It seems that no matter in this world or in the outside world, he is the most striking stroke.

At this point, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the stories always said that beauty can lead to mistakes and beautiful women can easily lead a country astray.

This beauty is even more amazing when it comes to men.

Even she was overwhelmed by the beauty at this moment.

Otherwise, why would we be led by the nose so many times?

While Shen Nanzhi was reflecting on herself, Xiao Chuyun had already walked to the bedside in two steps and took out another oil-paper bag like a magic trick.

This time, before opening it, Shen Nanzhi could already smell the rich aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

"Although peach cakes are delicious, I think Miss Shen would like to change her taste occasionally."

As he spoke, Xiao Chuyun naturally sat down beside Shen Nanzhi's bed, put down the oil paper bag, and began to peel chestnuts for Shen Nanzhi.

When Shen Nanzhi lived in the old house of the Shen family, she liked to eat sugar-roasted chestnuts. However, the chestnuts in Shangyang were soft, sticky and sweet. After arriving in Kyoto, as the tastes of local people changed, Shen Nanzhi tried the sugar-roasted chestnuts from several restaurants, all of which were crispy and fragrant, and Shen Nanzhi didn't like them very much.

But facing the chestnuts that Xiao Chuyun had already peeled, Shen Nanzhi couldn't bear to refuse his kindness, so she reached out to take them.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuyun did not let go. He looked at her with a smile and said, "Hold your hand, little heart. I'll do it."

As he said this, before Shen Nanzhi had time to refuse, he had already brought the peeled sugar-roasted chestnuts to Shen Nanzhi's lips.

Xiao Chuyun's movements were natural and calm, as if he was doing something very normal. He didn't seem to realize how intimate and inappropriate this action was.

Shen Nanzhi did realize it, but the sugar-roasted chestnuts had already reached her lips.

Thinking about her previous promise, Shen Nanzhi was afraid that she would get hurt again if she rejected Xiao Chuyun.

Besides, being too shy would seem too hypocritical.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi simply lowered her eyes and bit off the chestnut from Xiao Chuyun's hand.

Even though she was very careful, her lips still brushed against his fingertips when she ate the chestnuts.

Fortunately, Shen Nanzhi was sick these days and did not wear any makeup or even lip balm, otherwise the stains would have definitely gotten on his fingertips.

However, even if he was not implicated, Shen Nanzhi would still be extremely embarrassed.

The harder she tried to ignore this almost insignificant matter, the edges of her lips where his fingertips had brushed against her felt as if they were on fire, burning hot.

Moreover, it climbed all the way from the lips to the face, making Shen Nanzhi blush.

She didn't even taste the sugar-roasted chestnuts and subconsciously turned her head away.

Compared to her embarrassment, Xiao Chuyun's expression was unusually frank and natural.

He even smiled gently and asked Shen Nanzhi: "How does it taste?"

Shen Nanzhi had a whole roasted chestnut in her mouth and hadn't swallowed it yet. When she heard this, she just nodded subconsciously.

She murmured "hmm" softly and gave Xiao Chuyun an approving look.

This was her approval of the sugar-roasted chestnuts.

Seeing her response, the smile in Xiao Chuyun's eyes deepened.

In fact, Shen Nanzhi had only chewed a few mouthfuls and hadn't yet reacted to the taste of the sugar-roasted chestnuts in her mouth. She also hadn't had time to swallow them, but she saw Xiao Chuyun eating the sugar-roasted chestnut crumbs on the fingertips that had just fed her, and looked at Shen Nanzhi with a smile: "Well, it's really sweet."

And that position happened to be where Shen Nanzhi's lips had just brushed past.

Shen Nanzhi: !!!

At that moment, Shen Nanzhi's heart seemed to be caught by someone, beating wildly out of control.

That was not all. She was so shocked that she carelessly swallowed the sugar-roasted chestnuts in her mouth and immediately choked and started coughing.

Fortunately, Xiao Chuyun, who was standing by, handed her a cup of warm water in time and patted her back gently. Only then did Shen Nanzhi recover.

Compared to her eyes which were filled with tears and red at the corners due to being choked by helplessness, Xiao Chuyun's eyes were unusually frank.

He pursed his lips slightly, with a hint of smile on his lips, and said in a doting tone, "Slow down, don't rush."

Shen Nanzhi felt even more embarrassed and ashamed.

But Xiao Chuyun, the instigator, didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with his action just now.

Or maybe he didn't notice that was the place where Shen Nanzhi's lips touched, or maybe she didn't even realize it and it was just a coincidence... In this way, it seemed that she was too sensitive and petty.

Thinking about Xiao Chuyun's character, Shen Nanzhi felt that this possibility was very high.

Under Xiao Chuyun's frank gaze, Shen Nanzhi didn't even dare to show her surprise and shyness.

She was about to find a way to change the subject when she suddenly heard three cuckoo calls from outside.

Xiao Chuyun's expression froze, he turned to look at her helplessly and explained, "My father urgently summoned me."

Shen Nanzhi hadn't recovered from the embarrassment just now. When she heard that he was busy, she waved her hand and said, "Business is more important. Your Highness, please go and do your work first."

Xiao Chuyun nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can rest and recover, I will come back when I have time."

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi wanted to say that it would be better not to come when she had time. She didn't know what was wrong with her now. Her heart felt hot when she saw Xiao Chuyun. She was usually quite calm, but she always lost her composure in front of him.

But when the words came to his lips, they automatically changed into a "OK."

Xiao Chuyun smiled, placed the bag of sugar-roasted chestnuts next to Shen Nanzhi's bed, then turned around and left.

His figure was so fast that before Shen Nanzhi could see his movements clearly, he had already disappeared outside the courtyard wall.

If it weren't for the sugar-roasted chestnuts still hot from the oil paper wrapping at hand, Shen Nanzhi would have thought that everything that had just happened was just a dream.

Before she could come to her senses, she heard Lu Pianpian's footsteps outside the door.

This little girl came over from a distance after smelling the aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Pianpian, who had two fluffy buns on her head, had eagerly leaned over to Shen Nanzhi's sugar-roasted chestnuts, and asked with shining eyes, "Sister Zhizhi, are the sugar-roasted chestnuts delicious?"

Just one sentence made Shen Nanzhi think of the situation when Xiao Chuyun asked her this question just now.

Her cheeks suddenly felt hot.

Not wanting Lu Pianpian to notice, Shen Nanzhi immediately turned his head away and responded casually: "Well...it's delicious, how about you try it?"

Lu Pianpian was waiting for her to say this.

As soon as Shen Nanzhi finished speaking, Lu Pianpian's claws had already grabbed a full handful.

She sat on the footstool beside Shen Nanzhi's bed and began to peel it, praising it as she ate it: "It's really delicious! Sweet and soft. I don't know where the prince bought it. I've never tasted anything like it before."

Shen Nanzhi had no interest in the sugar-roasted chestnuts in Beijing at first, but after hearing Lu Pianpian's evaluation, and considering that this was specially sent by Xiao Chuyun, she ate another one with some doubts, and it was indeed soft, glutinous and sweet.

The taste is completely different from the sugar-roasted chestnuts available on the market in Beijing.

It’s almost the same as what Shen Nanzhi had eaten in Shangyang, and it’s exactly the taste Shen Nanzhi liked the most!

Shen Nanzhi was a little surprised.

After she came to the capital, she never showed any interest in eating sugar-roasted chestnuts. Even Lu Pianpian didn't know about it. How did Xiao Chuyun know about it?

Thinking about the fact that she had something to ask Xiao Chuyun before, but after being distracted by the sugar-roasted chestnuts, Shen Nanzhi forgot everything.

Now all I can do is wait until Xiao Chuyun comes over next time and ask him.

I don't know when he will come again.

It was clear that he had just left, and he had unintentionally made Shen Nanzhi feel ashamed and embarrassed, but in the blink of an eye, Shen Nanzhi was already secretly looking forward to his coming.

Moreover, when she thought of him, Shen Nanzhi felt that her emotions seemed to be out of control.

Before she could carefully analyze what was happening to her, she saw Qiu Yu coming in from outside with bags of medicinal herbs.

Shen Nanzhi looked at Lu Pianpian in surprise: "What did you ask your sister Qiuyu to do just now?"

Hearing this, Lu Pianpian quietly grabbed a handful of sugar-roasted chestnuts in her hand, and then said with a guilty conscience: "Isn't this to create an opportunity for Sister Zhizhi and the prince to be alone? I asked Sister Qiuyu to go to the pharmacy to get me some tonics."

After she finished speaking, as if she was afraid that Shen Nanzhi would be angry with her, she quickly said, "Don't worry, Sister Zhizhi, these herbs will be useful to you when you give birth and protect your pregnancy. They won't be wasted."

Shen Nanzhi: “…”

In that case, she had to thank her.

Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She was feeling guilty, so before Shen Nanzhi could say anything, Lu Pianpian made an excuse that she was going to sort out the medicinal herbs and disappeared in a flash.

Qiuyu brought back some medicinal herbs and also brought back two pieces of news.

The eldest prince's wife handed a sign directly into the palace yesterday. Dozens of imperial doctors took turns on duty, but in the end they were unable to save the fetus in her belly.

Early this morning, news spread from the palace. The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. However, the incident did not affect Shen Nanzhi. However, the red agate bracelet that the eldest prince's wife did not have time to take away was taken away by someone early this morning.

The person who came was the senior eunuch Chang Xi who was beside Emperor Shunqing. This matter would probably not be handled lightly, especially at this juncture. Who knows how much trouble would arise.

The second prince was convicted and imprisoned, and could not be released without the emperor's order.

Xiao Qian'an was almost half killed by a palm strike from Xiao Chuyun a few days ago. He has been closing his door to visitors recently and taking medicine continuously. However, he only announced to the outside world that he was attacked by an assassin that day, and used this as an excuse to severely damage Fuyun Tower and the forces of Xiao Ziyi who were entrenched behind it. Coupled with Xiao Chuyun's actions, Xiao Ziyi has not had an easy time recently.

This battle for the crown prince will only intensify.

The eldest prince's wife's miscarriage undoubtedly added fuel to the fight.

As for who will be burned in the end, Shen Nanzhi cannot predict it for the time being.

Compared to this, the drama happening in the Jiang family right under her nose was more interesting.

This is what Qiuyu wanted to talk to her about before, but she didn't expect to be diverted by Xiao Chuyun and Lu Pianpian.

No one knew who was behind the scenes making things difficult for Jiang Shiyan, but he failed to take up the position of Minister of Revenue as he wished. Instead, Zhao Kang, the Inspector of the Ministry of Revenue who had been targeted by him, was directly promoted by Emperor Shunqing.

His former subordinate became his superior and occupied the position he had always coveted. After divorcing Shen Yanxin, he no longer had the support of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. For a time, he became the laughing stock of the entire Kyoto.

In addition, the whereabouts of Zhao Wan and Jiang Yanran are still unknown, so his life has been particularly difficult recently, and he has been drinking to drown his sorrows almost every day.

This is not the main point Qiuyu wants to talk to Shen Nanzhi about.

It was the old lady of the Jiang family, Zhao, who could not bear to see her son so depressed. In addition, she had always been suppressed by the Shen family, so she did not dare to think of taking a concubine for Jiang Shiyan to expand the Jiang family. Now she finally had a chance to use her talents.

Recently, she has been looking for a date for Jiang Shiyan everywhere, and even sent maids to Jiang Shiyan's room several times.

But at the beginning, Jiang Shiyan rejected them all, and the relationship between mother and son became a little awkward. But the night before yesterday, Jiang Shiyan was out at a social gathering, got drunk, and rolled around with a dancer.

But the dancer was still a prostitute, so naturally she would not let Jiang Shiyan off after taking advantage of her.

Yesterday, the dancer came to the Jiang family's door carrying a lot of bags.

Zhao looked down on the dancer's background and refused to accept the dance no matter what, so there was a big show in front of Jiang's house yesterday.

Seeing that she had lost all her dignity and face, Zhao had no choice but to allow the dancer to enter.

After hearing this, Shen Nanzhi could only sigh that evildoers will be punished by evildoers.

The Jiang family’s show will only get more exciting.

Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi asked casually: "What is the name of the dancer?"

Qiu Yu smiled and said, "I was far away and couldn't hear clearly. It seemed that her name was Qin Suyi. I'm not sure. I'll ask you later."

As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Shen Nanzhi's face froze.

Qin Suyi.
