Reborn Princess

Yanci and Tang Song looked at each other.

Seeing the two of them looking cold and serious, Fu Zhen couldn't help but jokingly said, "Don't you believe me?"

"You can go check it out. If the news is not true, just come back to me."

"You two gentlemen are so handsome. I want to see more of them."

When Yanci heard this, he immediately stood up and said to Tang Song, "Let's go."

Seeing Yanci stand up so quickly, Tang Song also stood up and left.

Looking at the two people's backs, Fu Zhen fanned her nose with a small fan and then curled her lips into a faint smile.

“It’s so cold.”

"But I like it."

……

In the secret room, Shen Xilan had finished reading the booklet. She frowned, thinking that the salt trafficking this time was not simple smuggling, but an attempt to rebel.

"Have you finished reading?" Fu Zhen walked in with brisk steps.

"Someone close to your husband is here to investigate the case."

Shen Lilan looked up at her and asked, "Are they here to investigate the illegal sale of salt?"

"Yes."

"But I can't show them the booklet, otherwise they will destroy my Wansang Tower."

"However, for the sake of the master, they are the people around the master's husband, the master's people. I will definitely treat the master's people well. I have provided them with clues for them to investigate."

Shen Lilan nodded. This matter was of great importance and if one was not careful, one would be doomed. She looked at Fu Zhen and said, "Keep these away and don't let anyone else find out, otherwise your life will be in danger."

"Master, don't worry. I have many treasures to protect me. I am not afraid."

After leaving Wansang Tower, Shen Yanlan went to the teahouse and sat there to watch the play for half an hour, so that he could explain himself when he returned home.

Shen Lilan was fascinated by the song "Peony Pavilion".

While drinking tea, there was a sudden commotion downstairs. Shen Lilan looked down and saw a group of people surrounding a boy and beating and kicking him.

The boy was powerless to resist.

"Your Majesty." Birui looked at Shen Lilan worriedly.

"Go and take a look." Just as Shen Xilan finished speaking, a woman dressed as a maid rushed up.

"Whatever you do, you are bullying a child here. I will report it to the police."

"He stole the buns from our store, what a bastard!"

"It's just a bun, I'll pay for it."

"It's just a bun. He comes to steal it every day. How can it be just a bun?"

The maid took out a small bag of silver and threw it on the ground, saying, "Is it enough?"

When those people saw so much silver, they hurriedly said, "Enough, enough, enough."

The little boy was pulled up by the maid and taken to the second floor of the teahouse.

The second floor is occupied by wealthy people who seek quiet and peaceful sitting, so they must have helped out because they couldn't stand it anymore.

Shen Lilan saw the little boy being taken to a private room. The room was separated by a screen and he couldn't see who was inside.

Well, just continue watching the show.

Shen Lilan was enjoying the graceful and melodious singing of that character when he was brought back to his senses by the sound of "Princess Ding'an".

She turned her head and saw a pale-faced man dressed as a scholar, holding a folding fan and bowing to her with a smile.

After seeing the man's face clearly, Shen Yanlan was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Ruyun, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family and Zhou Jingmo's future princess consort.

"Miss Zhao." Shen Lilan called her with a smile.

"Princess, do you recognize me?" Zhao Ruyun was a little surprised.

"Of course, I have met him once at the imperial banquet." Shen Lilan said.

"It is truly a great honor for Zhao to be remembered by you."

"You and I are the same age, there's no need to be so formal." Shen Lilan said.

"it is good."

Shen Yanlan glanced at Zhao Ruyun's attire and asked, "Why are you going out like this?"

Zhao Ruyun didn't care about anything else and sat down directly opposite Shen Lilan. After sitting down, she realized something was wrong and was about to stand up. Shen Lilan said, "If you want to sit down, sit down."

Zhao Ruyun sat down somewhat embarrassedly and said, "It's too inconvenient for a girl to go out dressed like this. It's much more convenient to go out shopping dressed like this."

Shen Yanlan looked at her and smiled, "Did you order someone to rescue that child just now?"

Zhao Ruyun curled her lips and smiled, "I just saw injustice."

"I think he is smart. He won't have to worry about food and clothing if he follows me."

Shen Lilan nodded and said, “Zhao Ruyun, I had never dealt with her in my previous life.”

After watching the play, Shen Lilan saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to Zhao Ruyun.

"Next time the princess comes here, Ru Yun will treat her to a drink."

"Just call me Jin Ning." Shen Yanlan said.

After saying that, Shen Lilan nodded at her and went downstairs.

Zhao Ruyun curled up the corners of her mouth as she watched Shen Xilan leaving. She was so beautiful.

……

At the Ding'an Palace, the servants were already lighting the lamps when Shen Xilan returned home.

Shen Lilan walked in and the servants bowed to him along the way.

Entering Liyuan Pavilion, Zhou Cechen was standing in the yard, looking at the sky in a daze.

"Jinzhi." Shen Yanlan called him.

Zhou Cechen turned around and saw Shen Lilan walking into the yard. He curled his lips and smiled.

"Waiting for me?" Shen Lilan asked.

After hearing her words, Zhou Cechen didn't know how to respond.

Shen Yanlan walked a few steps towards him and stood on tiptoe to whisper in his ear: "My Lord, don't say one thing and mean another."

After saying that, Shen Lilan put his arms around Zhou Cechen's neck and stared at him with his bright eyes.

Zhou Cechen's heart beat faster, and under the cover of the dim sky, the tips of his ears had already turned red.

"Your Highness won't tell me? Then..." Shen Lilan bit Zhou Cechen's neck and licked it with her tongue, then said softly, "I'm going to punish your Highness."

The servants in the yard had already lowered their heads and dared not look when Shen Xilan hugged Zhou Cechen.

Zhou Cechen's Adam's apple rolled, he reached out and grasped Shen Lilan's waist, pulling her close to him.

"Fu Fu, please stop making trouble," he asked.

Shen Yanlan was in a playful mood at this moment. "No, I want to play."

"Your Highness, do you still remember the night before you and I got married, when you climbed over the wall into my yard to look for me?"

Zhou Cechen's eyes darkened.

He had not originally planned to go that night, but after drinking some wine he could not help wanting to see her, and he also wanted to comfort her who was at a loss before their marriage.

"Remember." Zhou Cechen's voice was hoarse.

Shen Lilan was a little surprised to see Zhou Cechen finally came back to her.

In fact, she regarded that night as a shame. It was the first time that she used all her skills to seduce a man, but the man in front of her was indifferent, which made her think for a time that she was really just a pawn for Zhou Cechen to gain military power.

"Then what does the prince remember?" Shen Lilan whispered in Zhou Cechen's ear.

Zhou Cechen could no longer bear such provocation. He picked up Shen Lilan and brought him back to the study.

Lu Nong and Bi Rui looked at each other, both feeling extremely embarrassed.

Shen Xilan realized that the route was wrong, she tried to struggle but was held down by Zhou Cechen and could not move.

"Be good," he said to her.

Kicking open the door of the study, Zhou Cechen placed Shen Lilan on the desk, which was a huge desk where he usually worked.

Shen Xilan sat at the desk, resting his hands on it, looking at Zhou Cechen with an indifferent expression.

Zhou Cechen supported his hands on both sides of Shen Lilan, bent over and stood in front of the table to look at Shen Lilan at eye level.

"What do you mean, Princess? Did the Princess drink secretly in her own courtyard or did she kiss the Prince after drinking?"
