The sound of rain in the West Market gradually subsided, Shu Ningyou wore Mi Li, and got out of the carriage with the help of the maid.

Shu Ningyou turned straight into the alley, where an unremarkable old bookstore was hidden.The two scripts in Shu Ningyou's hand were found from this second-hand bookstore.

It's a pity that the script is too thin, and most of the plot revolves around the princess and the prince, so there is not much information that can be extracted.In the past two days, Shu Ningyou devoted himself to research in the boudoir, and found that many trends seem to be similar to reality, but many changes have taken place. Favor.

After much deliberation, Shu Ningyou decided to come to this second-hand bookstore to try his luck again.

She almost turned over the second-hand bookstore, but couldn't find what she wanted.Shu Ning walked out of the bookstore unwillingly, and saw a few snakeskin bags at the corner, piled up randomly.

She quickly asked, "Are the books here also for sale?"

The owner of the second-hand bookstore has a square face, but with deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, and sharp eyes like a falcon, it reminds Shu Ningyou of those rumored barbarians. He looks very fierce and difficult to get close to.

His voice was also hoarse: "This is the goods that just arrived, what do you want?"

Shu Ningyou only said that he took a look at it casually, opened the snakeskin bag, and choked his face with dust.She flipped through it carefully, and finally found the third volume of "Red Dust Chaos" in a thick book.

She was overjoyed, picked a few books at random and stuffed them into her bosom, and threw a few taels of silver onto the counter, "I want all of these, no need to look for them."

The boss gave her an odd look.

Shu Ning leisurely hugged the book and quickly stepped onto the carriage.She looked around for a while, and ordered as if nothing had happened: "Go back to the house."

The groom said hello respectfully.

Shu Ning leisurely leaned against the window, brushed off the dust from the book, and flipped through it.

The emperor's birthday is approaching, in order to celebrate the emperor's birthday, the prince did what he liked and bought a painting as a gift to the emperor.

The artist of this painting is called Qingyan, who came from a humble background, and he earned his living by selling paintings. He got advice from an expert, became famous, and was sought after by famous painters in the capital.This painting is even more exquisitely conceived, showing the author's pinnacle of skill.

It was just a coincidence that the crown prince bought the painting, but this work made the emperor Longyan very happy, and the princess became closer to the crown prince.

In today's capital, is there a painter named "Qing Yan"?
The carriage drove all the way into the Marquis of Qinyang's mansion, Shu Ningyou got out of the carriage with a few books in her arms, and returned to the courtyard where she lived.

Just about to enter the room, Shu Ning paused, and saw Mrs. Pan sitting in her room.

The relationship between Shu Ningyou and Pan's mother is just average.In the past, she acted motherly, loving and filial in front of Shu Yao, but it was just to exclude Shu Yao.

When she was very young, Shu Ningyou knew that Pan's preference was for her younger brother Shu Ningzhi. When she was born, she still hated her for not being a son, and always wanted to find an opportunity to secretly send her out.

And because Qin Yanghou felt ashamed of Shu Yao, he poured his love for Shu Yao on Shu Ningyou, and regarded her as Shu Yao's shadow.Pan Shi taught Shu Ningyou strictly since she was a child. Shu Yao didn't know anything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so Shu Ningyou had to be proficient in everything and be the best student.

Shu Ningyou was jealous of Shu Yao from the bottom of her heart.

If Mrs. Pan is the wife of Qin Yanghou, or if she is also the daughter of the eldest princess, she can live a relaxed and carefree life just like Shu Yao.But she is nothing, and she has to do her best to play the role of a good daughter.

But it doesn't matter, she will snatch them all.

Shu Ningyou pretended to be surprised, and smiled softly: "Why is mother here?"

According to the rules of the back house, Shu Ningyou should have called Pan's aunt, but aunt is Pan's most taboo title.Therefore, in private, Shu Ningyou called Pan's mother very politely.

"I heard that you often go out of the house recently," Pan said with a casual smile, "where did you go today?"

Shu Ning said leisurely: "I just went to the bookstore and bought some scripts..."

Pan threw the letter on the table.

It's the correspondence between Shu Ningyou and Xie Yanzhou.

"My daughter is really good. I don't even know that your relationship with Xie Shizi is so good?"

Pan Shi smiled, but slowly narrowed her red phoenix eyes.

At the time of Qiu Lie, she was having a conflict with Qin Yanghou. Qin Yanghou was leading Li Qingchu, and Pan was not there.She also asked the servants before she knew that Shu Ningyou walked out of the hunting ground with Xie Yanzhou that day.

It was only then that Pan found out that her daughter often went out of the house recently, and when she asked the servants, she also found that Shu Ningyou often received letters recently.Pan opened it and checked it, and found that the signature on the opposite side was Shu Yao's childhood sweetheart, Xie Yanzhou.

Pan herself came to power from the concubine's room, so how can she not know what her daughter is doing?
Shu Ningyou had acted as a good girl in front of Pan for so many years, how well she knew her, before she got angry, she immediately knelt down, "Mother, don't be angry! My daughter just wants to share her mother's worries!"

Pan Shi gave a weird smile: "Share your worries?"

"My daughter overheard her father worrying about His Majesty's birthday gift before, so she thought of writing a letter to ask Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie said that the Xie family is also preparing a gift for His Majesty recently, and sent someone to inquire. His Majesty has recently appreciated a famous The work of a painter named 'Qing Yan'."

Isn't this a coincidence?

Mrs. Pan happened to have a shop in his hand that exclusively sold the Four Treasures of the Study. If it was really a painter in the capital, Mo Yuxuan's shopkeeper must have heard of his name.

Right now, her relationship with Qin Yanghou is gradually repairing, and Pan is trying to take the opportunity of giving the congratulatory gift to reconnect with Qin Yanghou.

She smiled softly: "It's my mother who wrongly blamed you. Get up quickly."

Shu Ningyou lowered her head, "Yes, mother."

Fortunately, Mrs. Pan only saw the letters, but did not find those few scripts.

No one will find out that she is behind the scenes, she just needs to hide herself.

……

Shu Yao fell into a drowsy sleep, feeling as if someone was taking off her shoes and socks, she couldn't help but kicked her, and muttered: "Don't touch this princess, get out of here..."

That's what happened to the apprentice in the dream, she was so tired that he would grab her leg, and he had to torture her until she burst into tears before giving up.

If she kicked him, he would laugh dumbly and say, "The princess still has so much strength, so come again."

Li Mingji grasped her ankle with ease, and said in a low voice, "Princess, it's my subordinate."

Hearing the familiar warm voice, Shu Yao realized that the person beside her was not that nasty apprentice, but a bodyguard she personally selected, her brows gradually relaxed.

The disciple in the dream usually seldom speaks, probably because he knows that his voice is ugly and will scare her.

But his deeds can only be described as bad.

Something seemed to flash through my mind, was it Li Mingji who grabbed her ankle just now?It feels so familiar, like in a dream.

Shu Yao frowned suspiciously, but couldn't hold back her drowsiness, and fell asleep again in a daze.
