Chapter 66
Shen Nanyuan walked over and bowed her head to salute.

"The courtiers see the concubine Zhuang."

"Get up." Concubine Zhuang's voice was light, her eyes narrowed slightly when she raised her eyes, she looked at Shen Nanyuan's face for a while, and then she continued, "I have long heard that the daughter of the Great General Zhen Guo's beauty is so beautiful, It’s really stunning looking at it now.”

She beckoned: "Come here and let me take a closer look."

Shen Nanyuan walked over with her head down, being sized up by her like this, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

"The Great General Zhen Guo is out in battle, and there are many good news. I heard that His Majesty summoned you, so I want to see how stunning the daughter of the Great General Zhen Guo is. Does the Lord Yong'an mind if I suddenly call you here?"

Shen Nanyuan said hastily: "I don't dare, it's my daughter's blessing to see Concubine Zhuang."

Concubine Zhuang is a bit strange.

She seemed to be deliberately trying to pretend to be kind and gentle in front of her, but her temperament was not like this, so Shen Nanyuan felt a little weird.

Concubine Zhuang was very satisfied with her answer: "Give me a seat."

"Thank you, Concubine Zhuang."

Shen Nanyuan bowed her knees and saluted, then sat uneasy on the chair next to Concubine Zhuang.

She summoned herself, definitely not just because she wanted to meet her.

The maid poured a cup of hot tea and put it in front of Shen Nanyuan. Concubine Zhuang said with a smile: "With the appearance of the county lord Yong'an, there must be many children from aristocratic families in the capital who are interested in you. You have reached the age of marriage now." , do you have a fancy to those descendants of the aristocratic family?"

Her gaze became slightly sharp, hidden under gentleness, but Shen Nanyuan could see it clearly.

"Back to Concubine Zhuang, the servant girl just wants to be with her parents as much as possible now, she has no other ideas, let alone someone she likes."

Concubine Zhuang was satisfied with Shen Nanyuan's answer, but at the same time she was somewhat dissatisfied.

She nodded slightly, picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip. She didn't speak, and there was a bit of coolness around her, before she continued after a while: "County Master Yong'an is really filial, no wonder General Zhen Guo favors you so much."

This tone was inexplicably a little yin and yang.

Today is also a coincidence, Shen Si Nian is actually on duty, and there is no one who can accompany her into the palace, if Shen Si Nian is here, she must have confidence, and there is no need to be so uneasy like she is alone in the palace now.

Besides, since she transmigrated into the book, most of the time she has faced people with lower status than herself, she is really at a loss today.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and a person came over. Before Shen Nanyuan raised her head, she heard a strange but familiar voice.

"Mother concubine."

Shen Nanyuan: "."

I knew he would come.

She got up and saluted: "My daughter, see Your Highness."

Gu Shengyu smiled and stepped forward to help her up: "You don't need to be polite, please sit down."

Shen Nanyuan pulled her wrist out of his hand calmly, and sat down on the chair with her head down.With the second prince as her own son, the breath that had just condensed was much better, Concubine Zhuang said: "Yu'er and County Lord Yong'an know each other?"

"My son and the county lord have met several times, and I met the county lord last time when I was hunting in the royal family."

Shen Nanyuan lowered her head and smiled slightly.

I couldn't help but want to roll my eyes a little bit.

These girls are just putting on an act.

How could Concubine Zhuang have to know whether she and her son have met or not.

"In this way, Yu'er and the county magistrate have a good relationship," Concubine Zhuang said, "You are not much different in age, and you can come and go more in the future, and the relationship between the royal family and the Zhen Guo government will become closer and closer."

Gu Shengyu smiled and said, "Yes."

Concubine Zhuang glanced at Shen Nanyuan's face immediately, bursts of pressure hit her, she pursed her lips and drooped her eyes: "Yes."

She understood what Concubine Zhuang meant.

This is to match her with the second prince so that he can have the support of the Zhen Guo government in the future so that he can ascend to the throne of God.

Now that the crown prince has not been decided, all the princes are ambitious, even though His Majesty is in good health, these princes have done a lot of tricks in private, but Concubine Zhuang actually asked her to come over outside Guangyang Palace.
Guangyang Palace is no ordinary place.

Could it be that even His Majesty intends to match her with the Second Prince?
This thought made Shen Nanyuan break out in a little cold sweat.

Best not, it's best that she thinks too much.

Concubine Zhuang waved her hand, and a maid came over behind her, holding a wooden box in her hand, looking familiar.

"This is a reward from the palace to the county master."

The box was opened, Shen Nanyuan saw what was inside, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.

Isn't this the Ye Mingzhu that Gu Shengyu gave to her during the royal hunt last time, but she confiscated it?

Now it was sent back by Concubine Zhuang's hand, and she would not dare to disobey Concubine Zhuang even if she left it alone. It was telling her that no matter what, this luminous pearl would still be in her hands after going around, even if she didn't... Like, there is nowhere to escape.

Shen Nanyuan raised her eyes a little, and met the second prince's eyes, which were dark and deep, inexplicably a little sinister.

Her hands couldn't help tightening.

It was getting late when she returned to the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and she returned to the Shaohua Courtyard exhausted. Seeing this, Qing Yan hurried over and took the wooden box in her hand.

"Miss, is it going well for you to enter the palace today?"

"Yeah." Shen Nanyuan nodded slightly, "That's right."

"this box"

"It was a gift from Concubine Zhuang," she said, "Ye Mingzhu."

Qing Bing opened her mouth in surprise: "Ms. Zhuang Concubine? The lady entered the palace not only to meet His Majesty?"

"More than that." Shen Nanyuan twitched the corner of her mouth, "I also met the second prince."

Xiao Yan had heard the news from the palace a long time ago, knowing who she had met and what she had done today, her eyes fell on her tired little face, her eyes were already dark, but now they were filled with hostility .

He originally thought of waiting to enter the palace later, but now he has to enter the palace earlier.

When Shen Yi triumphantly returns, he will go back. With Shen Yi in the Zhen Guogong's mansion, at least he can rest assured.

Shen Nanyuan said: "Put Ye Mingzhu in the warehouse."

She turned her head slightly and saw Xiao Yan who was walking towards her, the tiredness between her brows and eyes faded a little, and the corners of her lips evoked a slight smile.

"Xiao Yan."

The name she uttered from her mouth seemed particularly sweet, melodious and tactful, sweet and greasy as if it was sweeter than candied fruit, he suppressed the hostility in his eyes, and said softly: "Miss."

He said calmly, "What happened to Miss today when she entered the palace?"

The two walked together, Shen Nanyuan shook her head when she heard the sound: "No, the palace is heavily guarded, what can happen."

"That's good."

Xiao Yan's eyes were dark, but he didn't say anything.

Since she didn't say some things, she couldn't ask herself either.
