Chapter 66

After taking Qingrou back to Shen's Bieyuan, the steward came to report that the emperor had rewarded many items and they had been placed in the hall.After Shen Mengdie heard about it, she walked slowly towards the hall with her maid, and a row of large boxes came into view.

After receiving the list of items handed to him by the housekeeper, Shen Mengdie checked it out and ordered someone to come and take it to the warehouse.

Looking at the butler who was still standing beside her, Shen Mengdie asked suspiciously: "What else is there for the butler?"

"Miss, Prince Li sent someone to send an invitation to invite you to the palace for a small gathering in two days."

"Prince Li?" Hearing this title, Shen Mengdie frowned suspiciously.

"Yes."

"Who is this Prince Li? I probably haven't had contact with him?" Shen Mengdie said with some uncertainty, and at the same time secretly guessed who it was.

As soon as the housekeeper saw the young lady, he knew that she was not very clear about the various powers in the capital, so he had no choice but to explain to her in detail: "Miss, the real name of Prince Li is Xuanyuan Zichen, and he is the youngest child of the late emperor. The emperor favored him very much, and handed over half of the military power of the Xuanyuan Dynasty to him."

"That's it..." Shen Mengdie nodded, and sat back on the chair beside her, waiting for the butler to popularize it for herself.

After the butler waved away the rest of the servants, he looked at the closed door very cautiously. "It is said that Prince Li holds a heavy army and is suspected of plotting to usurp the throne. However, the current emperor is old and weak, and the prince under his knees does not have the momentum to stand alone..."

Speaking of this, the butler sighed heavily, with a very helpless look on his face. "I'm afraid the world is going to be chaotic."

"Housekeeper, I haven't seen this prince, have I?" Shen Mengdie recalled the person she met recently, and it seemed that there was only one prince. "Could it be him..."

"Miss, did you remember something?"

"I met a prince in the palace yesterday. He was about [-] years old, with strong facial features and sharp eyes, very majestic."

After listening to her words, the butler nodded. "Then you should meet Prince Li. There is only such a prince in Kyoto."

"But I only talked to him a few words, why did he suddenly think of inviting me?" Shen Mengdie was a little confused about this sudden invitation.

"Prince Li is already in his thirties, but he has not married a wife. The current emperor has urged him time and time again, but in the end because of no illness, it can't be done."

Hearing this, Shen Mengdie had a general understanding of this prince. The other party was a prince with real power, and his status was extremely noble. "It seems that this is a good opportunity. With the help of the prince, the main task is still within reach."

Shen Mengdie silently planned the itinerary for two days in her heart, took her maid to her study, and began to get busy with the next thing.

Time flies, two days passed by in a flash.

Early this morning, Shen Mengdie woke up early. Since the other party clearly stated on the invitation that she was invited to enjoy the flowers, she decided to bring Mo Qingxin with her, as if she were going to see the world. experience.

Putting on a white dress and light hair, there is no other unnecessary dress on her body.The clothes seem simple, but they are made of silk, and the sleeves and skirts are embroidered with dark flowers with gold and silver threads. When walking in the sun, the light on them will be reflected.

After dressing up, Shen Mengdie took Mo Qingxin to the Liwang Mansion in the sedan chair arranged by the housekeeper.Sitting in the rickety sedan chair, she felt it was a novelty for a moment. It was the first time she tried this kind of means of transportation, and she kept raising the curtains to look outside the sedan chair.

"Get off the sedan chair..."

When she arrived at her destination, the person receiving her in the palace seemed to have been waiting for a long time. After welcoming her in, she led the way with a smile on her face.

After roughly looking at the layout of the palace, Shen Mengdie withdrew her gaze and followed the guide slowly.Just after reaching a garden, the other party stopped her in front of a pavilion.

"My lord, Miss Shen is here."

"Come here." Following the voice from the pavilion, Shen Mengdie saw the prince whom she saw yesterday walking slowly towards her, looking straight into his eyes, she felt flustered.

Trying not to let her panic show, Shen Mengdie smiled gently at the other party, and stepped forward to salute. "The daughter of the people pays homage to the prince."

"You don't need to be too polite. I invited you here today. It's my king who wants to talk to you about something."

"I don't know what the prince is for?" Shen Mengdie was also curious about why this person who should have had no contact with her suddenly thought of inviting her to come to a small gathering, watching the flowers blooming around her, smelling the faint fragrance in the wind. Huaxiang, her mood at this moment is unprecedentedly relaxed.

"Please sit down."

Under the signal of the other party, Shen Mengdie sat at the table where the pavilion was.Looking at the picture scroll hanging on the pillar, she sized it up for a moment with some doubts, because although the picture scroll was hanging on it, it was rolled up.

"You go down first."

"Yes."

Following Xuanyuan Zichen's order, the palace maids who were originally serving in the pavilion retreated one after another.

"I have something important to discuss with you, I don't know..."

Looking at the eyes of the other party looking behind her, Shen Mengdie said knowingly: "In this case, I will let them wait outside." Looking at Xuanyuan Zichen who nodded, she said to the two behind her: "You go out first. .”

"This……"

Seeing Mo Qingxin's tangled expression, Shen Mengdie signaled: "Go."

After everyone retreated, Shen Mengdie looked at the other person's face and didn't know what to say for a while.

After a moment of silence, Xuanyuan Zichen walked slowly in front of her, stared deeply at her for a moment, and untied the rope tied to the scroll.

"Whoa..."

As the scroll unfolded, Shen Mengdie stood up in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on her face. "this is……"

She stepped forward with some hesitation, and stretched out her hand to caress the cheek of the person in the painting. The person in the painting was obviously herself, but...

"My lord, what is your painting?" Shen Mengdie couldn't help but guess where the other party got this painting, because judging from the pen and ink of the scroll, it doesn't look like it was done in recent days.

"This is what my king drew a long time ago."

"A long time ago?" Hearing the other party's words, Shen Mengdie was a little confused for a moment, and couldn't help but doubt in her heart. "Could it be that it was worn on someone else's body at this time, otherwise how could there be such a painting..."

Just when she was puzzled by this, the person standing behind slowly approached her.

"You should be able to recognize who this is."

"I..." The person above was obviously herself, and it was impossible for her to say that she didn't know her. After she opened her mouth, she suddenly didn't know what to say.

But at this moment, Xuanyuan Zichen took a step forward, gently hugged her into his arms, and sighed after sniffing the fragrance of her hair, "I finally found you."
