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

If Shen Nanzhi remembered correctly, Xiao Xiangxue was most afraid of mice.

This is related to her experience of being accidentally sent to the cold palace when she was a child.

Xiaoqi is a smart boy. Shen Nanzhi only needs to remind him and he will know what to do.

Not long after Xiaoqi left, Shen Yanxin also came. She was also worried about Lu Pianpian, so she hurried over to visit her when she heard that Lu Pianpian had woken up.

"Auntie."

Shen Nanzhi greeted him with a smile: "Pianpian is fine, don't worry."

Shen Yanxin nodded, and went to sit with Lu Pianpian with Shen Nanzhi for a while. They originally wanted to go visit their sick aunt together.

As a result, the aunt was afraid that her illness would pass on to Shen Yanxin, so she called Qiuxia, who was beside her, over to say hello, and the mother and daughter had to give up.

They were going to set out for the autumn hunting patrol the next day. Although the royal hunting ground was near Wangyunfeng in the north of Qingyun Mountain, according to the plan, it would take at least half a month to return to Beijing. This was the first time that Shen Nanzhi left Shen Yanxin and went on a long journey.

Even though she had two aunts to take care of her on the way, Shen Yanxin couldn't help but give Shen Nanzhi a few more instructions, and she also personally checked Shen Nanzhi's luggage to make sure there was nothing missing before she felt relieved.

The next day came in a blink of an eye.

Shen Nanzhi packed up early in the morning. When she was about to go out, she saw Lu Pianpian leaning on the bed, looking at her eagerly. The look in her eyes was enough to melt people's hearts.

Originally, she was looking forward to this autumn hunting tour the most, hoping to eat fresh game cooked by the imperial chef. She never expected such a thing to happen. With her current weak body, she could only stay at home and rest.

But even so, she forced herself to hold on and prepared a large bag of medicinal powder and ointment for Shen Nanzhi in case of emergency.

Shen Nanzhi waved her hand and said, "Be good and take good care of yourself. I'll have someone bring you back when the time comes."

Lu Pianpian nodded and watched Shen Nanzhi leave reluctantly.

The carriages for travel were already waiting outside the mansion.

The ancestor emperor of the Great Qi conquered his kingdom on horseback, so the Great Qi respected literature but also valued martial arts. This was especially true during the generations of the ancestor emperors, where even the women of the nobility were skilled in riding and shooting and were extremely brave.

In order to be prepared for danger in times of peace and preserve the people's courage, our ancestors set up rules for annual spring hunting. All officials above the fourth rank in the court, both civil and military, had to participate. Even the female relatives who accompanied them had special autumn hunting projects and tasks.

However, as generations passed, the women who used to fight alongside their husbands on the grasslands and took pride in martial arts have long since changed their ways and have all become untaught, living a life of luxury and taking tenderness as beauty. Therefore, the women who now accompany the group are just going through the motions. Not to mention being brave, even lifting a sword is difficult for them.

"Zhizhi!"

Shen Nanzhi greeted her two aunts and cousin Changan, and was about to get on the carriage. Before she saw anyone, she heard Ye Qingwan's voice.

The Ye family's carriage hurriedly stopped outside the Shen residence. As soon as it stopped, Ye Qingwan jumped out of the carriage, holding up her skirt.

Today she was wearing a pink gauze dress, and was as graceful as a fluttering butterfly. However, because the acne scars on her face had not yet healed completely, she still had a gauze scarf on her face, revealing only a pair of big, bright and lively eyes like black agate.

"Luckily I made it in time!"

She exhaled lightly, then smiled and looked at Shen Nanzhi and continued, "My mother and grandmother are still on their way back to Beijing, and my father is with the old men in the Ministry of Industry most of the time. I'm bored all alone, can I go with you?"

Of course there was no problem with this, but when Shen Nanzhi's eyes fell on the veil on her face, he couldn't help but pour cold water on her: "Pianpian said that you'd better avoid going out in the wind. Things on your face are not a joke. What if you get a scar in the future..."

Before Shen Nanzhi finished speaking, Ye Qingwan said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? Anyway, with our little genius doctor here, there will definitely be no scars. If we miss this opportunity, we may not have the chance to play together like we do now next time."

As she spoke, Ye Qingwan pulled Shen Nanzhi's hand and got into her carriage without saying a word, and did not forget to turn around and greet Shen Nanzhi's two aunts and Shen Changan warmly.

After getting on the carriage, Shen Nanzhi said, "What did you just say? Why can't we be together next time?"

The carriage started moving. Ye Qingwan opened the curtains and looked out curiously at the street scene while explaining, "You're getting married, and I'm about to get engaged. When we each get married, how can we be as free as we are now? Besides, you're going to marry the Prince of Zhenbei. If you become the Princess of Zhenbei, you'll have more freedoms than you can control. How can you care about me then?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but poked her shoulder and joked, "You're wrong. I can't take care of you right now. Why don't you go back to your Ye family's carriage team?"

"No, no!"

Ye Qingwan pulled Shen Nanzhi's sleeve and said coquettishly, "You don't have many friends in Beijing, and Jingya can't go. I was afraid that you would be lonely for such a long time, so I came here to accompany you. You are so heartless. Not only do you not appreciate it, but you also want to drive me away."

Shen Nanzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm very busy, how can I be lonely?"

She was busy keeping a close eye on Shen Changan, busy plotting against Jiang Qingyuan, and settling accounts with Xiao Xiangxue, but she really had no time to care about being alone.

Of course, Shen Nanzhi just thought about this in his mind and did not mention it to Ye Qingwan.

"Huh? Where's our little miracle doctor?"

After talking for a while, Ye Qingwan finally remembered Lu Pianpian.

Shen Nanzhi didn't want to elaborate, only saying that Lu Pianpian had caught a cold and was recuperating at home. Ye Qingwan didn't think much about it, only sighed: "That's a pity, that little greedy cat will miss out on a lot of delicious food!"

Ye Qingwan asked Xiao Chuyun again: "I heard from my father that your prince is seriously ill again? He has even been temporarily suspended from his duties at the Dali Temple. What's going on? Is your prince going to the Qiuwei this time? Speaking of which, I have only heard of his name, and have never seen the dignified King of Zhenbei! Do you think he will be very fierce?"

Shen Nanzhi hadn't even opened his mouth yet, but Ye Qingwan kept asking questions one after another, chattering endlessly and giving Shen Nanzhi a headache.

However, Shen Nanzhi has gotten used to it since childhood.

She answered them patiently one by one.

"The prince is recovering from his injuries, but I don't know the details. He probably can't go on this autumn hunting tour. As for whether he is fierce or not, I think the prince is the most gentle person I have ever met. He is not fierce at all."

Hearing this, Ye Qingwan's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Seeing Shen Nanzhi nod, Ye Qingwan clapped her hands and said, "I told you so! My father said that the prince has a bad reputation, especially since he took charge of the Dali Temple, all the civil and military officials in the court are in danger when they mention him. I thought he was a very scary person. Now that you said so, I am relieved. By the way, when will you set the date for your wedding?"

Shen Nanzhi shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe after the autumn hunting tour, when the prince is in better health, we can make a decision."

In fact, by the time they returned to Beijing from the autumn hunting tour, Xiao Chuyun should have almost returned from Yuzhou.

But Xiao Chuyun's whereabouts were confidential and could not be revealed. It would also easily bring trouble to Ye Qingwan, so Shen Nanzhi passed it over vaguely.

Fortunately, Ye Qingwan is a carefree person and did not delve into it further.

After asking around, she finally asked Shen Huaishu: "By the way, where is your uncle? Why didn't you see him today? Isn't he going to such an important occasion?"

Shen Nanzhi shook his head: "I heard that there are still some unfinished business in the Jiangbei corruption case, and my uncle was ordered to go on a mission, so he can't make it to the autumn hunting tour."

"Huh? That's it."

Ye Qingwan's tone was obviously a bit disappointed, "No wonder I didn't see him every time I came here. I haven't seen him for two years. I guess my uncle has become more powerful, right?"

Hearing this, Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but joked, "That's right. My uncle is now very handsome and elegant, and is known as the best young master in the capital! What? Do you regret rejecting this marriage?"

Ye Qingwan has been getting along well with Shen Nanzhi and the others since they were young.

In addition, the two families know each other well, and the elders on both sides have thought about forming a marriage.

As early as two years ago, before Shen Huaishu and Shen Changan returned to Beijing together, someone had mentioned this marriage.

I'm talking about Ye Qingwan and Shen Huaishu.

However, Ye Qingwan rejected it at that time.

She only said that she treated Shen Huaishu as her brother and elder, and there was no relationship between them. Since the two children were not destined to be together, the two families would naturally not force it.

The matter was dropped.

Shen Nanzhi also thought so, so she had no taboos and joked with her like this.

However, what was unexpected was that Ye Qingwan was shocked when she heard this. She quickly shook her head and denied it, "No, it's just that we are not suitable. I can't say I refused. Who am I? If I say I refused your uncle, it would tarnish his reputation. Don't mention it again."

Her tone and demeanor didn't sound like she was joking at all.

It is also very different from Ye Qingwan, who is usually carefree and seems to not care about anything.

Shen Nanzhi could tell that something was wrong with her mood, but before he could take a closer look, he saw that she had changed the subject. After all, it was her own choice in the first place, and everyone has their own secrets. Since she didn't want to say more, Shen Nanzhi didn't ask any more questions.

Moreover, Ye Qingwan quickly changed the subject.

Along the way, it was mostly Ye Qingwan who was talking, with Shen Nanzhi occasionally agreeing with a few words.

After leaving the city, their carriages would have to join the main troop for the autumn hunting expedition, and then they could set off after Emperor Shunqing, his concubines, princes and princesses came out of the palace.

However, the carriages from various families were blocked at the city gate, making it very difficult to move forward.

Many noble ladies from aristocratic families felt too stuffy in the carriage and went down to get some fresh air.

Just as Shen Nanzhi was about to take Ye Qingwan down with her, the carriage that was originally lined up behind them suddenly crashed into their carriage, perhaps because the horses were frightened or something.

"what!"

Ye Qingwan was thrown up directly, but fortunately Shen Nanzhi hugged her waist with one hand and held the car frame with the other hand, which stabilized the two of them.

At the same time, Ah Si's slightly nervous voice rang out from outside: "Miss, Miss Ye, are you all right? The Liu family's carriage suddenly lost control and crashed into us."

Shen Nanzhi responded and helped Ye Qingwan down, then he saw several figures hurriedly jumping down from the carriage behind.

They were Liu Jingya's half-sister, Liu Jingyi, and her maids.

The Shen family's carriage was fine and not damaged. However, although their carriage was controlled in time and did not cause too much panic, the front axle was broken and could not be repaired in a short time. They could only move to the side of the road to make way for the team behind them.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi, Liu Jingyi came over with joy as if she had seen a savior, "Sister Zhizhi!"

But after taking two steps, she seemed to have thought of something, and said with some guilt: "I'm sorry, my carriage hit you, are you hurt?"

Shen Nanzhi waved his hand.

Thinking of everything that had happened before, and looking at Liu Jingyi's delicate face that looked like a harmless little white flower, Shen Nanzhi had the urge to crush her.

"The road is too crowded. If we go back to the mansion to catch a carriage, we might miss the departure time. But it will take a lot of time to repair it here. The carriages of other sisters in the family are already full. Sister Zhizhi, can we..."

Liu Jingyi looked at Shen Nanzhi eagerly, her face full of anticipation.

However, Shen Nanzhi refused without thinking: "No."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other noble ladies around raised their eyebrows and looked over.

After all, they were all acquaintances. Moreover, some time ago, the news that the Fifth Prince did not marry Liu Jingya, the legitimate daughter of the Liu family, and insisted on marrying Liu Jingyi, the concubine's daughter, had spread.

Even though Liu Jingyi's status was low and she was nothing among this group of noble ladies, because of her relationship with the Fifth Prince, everyone would give her some face for fear that she would marry into the Fifth Prince's mansion in the future.

However, she didn't expect Shen Nanzhi to reject her in public like this.

Everyone looked at Shen Nanzhi with a mixture of surprise and gloating as if they were watching a good show.

One is the future Princess Zhenbei, and the other is a concubine who is rumored to become the Fifth Prince's wife.

Who knows, these two people might even become sisters-in-law in the future. Just like that, they met at the crowded city gate.

Even Liu Jingyi looked at Shen Nanzhi in surprise, as if she didn't expect Shen Nanzhi to embarrass her in public, and was not afraid of being seen as arrogant and unkind.

Her eyes turned red and she was about to cry.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi quickly supported Ye Qingwan beside him, and said with an apologetic tone: "I'm really sorry, Sister Jingyi, it's not that I don't want to take you, but my sister has been infected with a cold recently. I know that Sister Jingyi is the most delicate and weak. I'm really afraid that she will pass on her illness to you, and then we will all become sinners."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qingwan leaned on Shen Nanzhi's head cooperatively and coughed violently a few times in the direction of Liu Jingya.

"I'm sorry, Sister Jingyi, it's all my fault. You won't blame me, right?"

Ye Qingwan pinched her throat and imitated Liu Jingya's tone, leaving Liu Jingyi speechless.

Everyone said that she was in delicate health. If she insisted on coming over now, it would mean she was admitting that she was in good health and could handle it. This was completely inconsistent with the delicate and frail image that Liu Jingyi had shown in front of others before.

Liu Jingyi could only smile awkwardly: "How could that be? If possible, I would rather ride with my sisters so that I can take care of them more conveniently."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Nanzhi hurriedly asked, "Really?"

Before Liu Jingyi could react, Shen Nanzhi smiled and said, "It just so happens that Qingwan doesn't have a maid with her, so she needs someone to serve tea and water. Since Sister Jingyi is so thoughtful, why not come and take care of Qingwan?"

At this point, Shen Nanzhi did not forget to raise an eyebrow and look at her: "This is what Sister Jingyi said just now."

Hearing this, Liu Jingya's eyes froze and her face looked uglier than crying.

I have seen people humiliated, but I have never seen people humiliated like this.

He actually compared her to a servant girl who served tea and water.

But Shen Nanzhi just kept talking along the lines of what she said, leaving her unable to refute.
