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

Four years ago, the Northern Barbarians invaded.

The generals guarding the northern border were defeated one after another, and even the chief commander was beheaded. When the army's morale was broken, it was a young prince who was only sixteen years old and was sent to train with the army who stepped forward and turned the tide in the subsequent battles.

He personally led a team of remnants to unexpectedly attack the enemy's lair, which not only saved the northern border from danger, but also drove the Northern Barbarians out of their guard for more than 200 miles, making the enemy unable to commit further attacks for a long time.

For a time, the third prince Xiao Chuyun's reputation spread throughout Da Qi.

People even said that he was a military star gifted by God to Da Qi after the decline of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

It’s a pity that although this general is dazzling, he is as fleeting as a shooting star.

It is said that he was seriously injured in that war, his body was completely ruined, and he has been plagued by illness ever since. Even his legs were disabled, making it difficult for him to walk.

Because of his outstanding military achievements, he was personally named King of Zhenbei by the emperor.

This was the first case since the founding of the Qi Dynasty that a prince was conferred the title of king before a crown prince was appointed.

Although it was an honor, it also meant that he would never have a chance to become emperor.

Shen Nanzhi had heard a lot of rumors about the King of Zhenbei, but she could not connect such a great reputation with the weak and elegant young man in front of her.

It was not only because of his weak body, but more because his every move was elegant and refined like a scholar, without any murderous aura that was unique to military generals who killed enemies on the battlefield.

However, even though he looked calm and did not have the aggressive aura of someone who had been in a high position for a long time, the arrogance that emanated from his bones could not be faked.

Because of the help in the previous life, and because he was born into a family of generals, he already admired the generals who sacrificed their lives for the Great Qi. At this moment, Shen Nanzhi looked at him with a little more respect in his eyes.

"I am Shen Nanzhi, a commoner, and I am honored to meet you, Your Majesty."

Shen Nanzhi was about to bow and greet according to the rules, but she saw Xiao Chuyun slightly raised his hand: "Miss Shen saved my life, so you don't have to stick to these conventional etiquette in the future."

To say that he saved his life might be a bit too much. Shen Nanzhi estimated that even if he didn't lend a hand, he would have his own way out.

However, now that she knew his identity, she finally understood the look on his face when he looked over her shoulder at Shen Jia Xiaoqi when she invited him to go with her.

He probably had many considerations, but when he saw that she was a member of the Shen family, he let down his guard and went with her.

Shen Nanzhi saw that he didn't look very well, and remembering the doctor's advice to take good care of himself, he lowered his eyes and asked, "Does the prince want me to send someone to deliver a letter to the palace?"

Shen Nanzhi was also afraid of delaying his important work.

But after saying this, she was afraid that he would misunderstand her ordering him to leave, so Shen Nanzhi quickly added: "The doctor said that the prince should not make any trouble now and should rest well. If the prince does not mind, he can stay here for now and make plans after he recovers."

Xiao Chuyun looked up at Shen Nanzhi and nodded, "Okay, in that case, I'll have to trouble Miss Shen to send someone to deliver the letter to my house."

His voice was neither hurried nor slow, his expression was calm, and he was very easy to talk to. Shen Nanzhi couldn't help but sigh, how could such a beautiful person like mutton-fat jade end up with such injuries.

And his legs...

Afraid that the expression he inadvertently revealed would offend the other party, Shen Nanzhi quickly stopped thinking, told the other party to rest well, and then stood up and left.

The maids and old women serving in the yard were all selected by her from her own yard and were very reliable.

In addition, she sent someone to visit the Zhenbei Palace.

After finishing all these, Shen Nanzhi prepared to go look for A Niang. It had been some time since they came back to rest, so it was time to pay respects to the old lady of the Jiang family, Mrs. Zhao.

Although Shen Nanzhi's father married into the family, Zhao was her mother's mother-in-law after all, and the two mansions were adjacent, so it was reasonable for her to pay her respects first.

This time, A Niang brought Shen Nanzhi back to Beijing to celebrate Zhao's 60th birthday.

When Shen Nanzhi went to the front hall, A Niang and Jiang Yanran were already waiting there.

Jiang Yanran held A'niang's hand affectionately, making her smile. The two looked like real mother and daughter.

Seeing Shen Nanzhi coming over, A Niang asked with concern: "Zhizhi, how is that young master?"

Because she had been ill for many years, her face was pale and sickly.

But because she returned home today, she was in a good mood and looked better than usual.

Shen Nanzhi nodded. Before she could tell him about Xiao Chuyun, she heard the concierge report: "Miss, the Seventh Prince wants to see you."

Shen Nanzhi was originally talking to A Niang, and the smile on his face froze at this moment.

For a moment, she almost thought she had heard it wrong.

The Seventh Prince, Xiao Qian... Why did he come to my house?

At this time in his previous life, he was seriously injured and dying, and was brought into the Shen Mansion by Shen Nanzhi.

But this time, Shen Nanzhi chose another path, stayed away from him far away, and had nothing to do with him at all.

What is he here to do?

Jiang Yanran, who was standing by, was quicker than her and asked, "What did you say? The Seventh Prince?"

The servant who came to deliver the message nodded and said respectfully, "It is indeed a visiting card from the Seventh Prince's Mansion, and he specifically asked to see the young lady. Because of her noble status, we dare not neglect her. We have already invited her to the main hall for tea."

"Zhizhi?"

A'niang looked at Shen Nanzhi with a hint of uneasiness on her face.

The prince came to visit me on his own initiative...it doesn't sound like anything good at all.

What's more, Shen Nanzhi had just arrived in Kyoto and had never had any disputes with the other party before.

Shen Nanzhi herself was also confused. She shook her head and said, "Don't worry, mother. It shouldn't be a big deal. I'll be back soon."

As he spoke, Shen Nanzhi subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yanran beside him.

Without Shen Nanzhi saying anything, Jiang Yanran said impatiently, "I'll go with my sister, so she can be looked after if anything happens."

Shen Nanzhi pretended not to notice the ambition and expectation that could hardly be hidden in her eyes, and smiled: "Sister still loves me."

There are only two courtyards between the front hall and the main hall.

In just a few steps, Jiang Yanran had already asked Shen Nanzhi several times about the Seventh Prince.

Shen Nanzhi just shook her head in bewilderment and said innocently, "Not to mention that we just came to Kyoto. When I was in Jiangnan, I was with my sister almost every day. How did I get to know this Seventh Prince?"

Jiang Yanran thought about it and stopped asking questions, focusing her attention on her own attire and demeanor.

The two walked side by side through the corridor, and then passed through the plum blossom archway in front, and they could see the main hall at a glance.

Shen Nanzhi seemed calm, but her heart could not calm down.

The yard was full of crabapple trees, with petals falling all over the place and shadows of flowers slanting across the ground. Turning around, Shen Nanzhi saw a man in a Tianshui Qingyun brocade robe standing under the eaves.

The man had handsome features and a cool temperament. It was Xiao Qian'an.
