My Lady is well

Shen Yueyao sat in front of her dressing table, hooking a strand of hair and gently spinning it on her fingertips.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with thoughts, and she was clearly looking at the beautiful woman in the mirror, but without any appreciation.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Jin'er picked some jade hibiscus and held them in front of her.

"Master, the Crown Princess is ill. You don't need to go to Changning Palace to pay your respects today. I will comb your hair into a beautiful bun and put some flowers in it, okay?"

Shen Yueyao was in no mood. She just lowered her head, picked up a bud that was about to bloom, and put it to her nose and smelled it.

The fragrance is refreshing and soothing.

Qiuju came in and bowed.

"Master, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent two young eunuchs over. Do you want to see them now?"

Shen Yueyao raised her eyelashes, and a hint of vigilance flashed in her eyes.

I didn't expect Jing Lince to act so quickly.

"Well, let them in."

Qiu Ju led two young eunuchs with lowered heads and eyes to kneel before her. Shen Yueyao could not see their faces clearly.

He said loudly: "Lift your head."

The facial features of both men are not handsome, but they are regular.

"What is your name?"

"The servant Li Shun and the servant Zhang De pay their respects to Concubine Shen."

Shen Yueyao looked at the two of them leisurely and pursed her lips.

"May I know the surnames of the two of you?"

Li Shun hesitated for a moment and answered with a smile.

"My original surname was Wang, but I changed it after I entered the palace."

"My family name is Zhang, so my name is Zhang De."

After hearing the secret code, Shen Yueyao understood that Li Shun was the person Jing Lince arranged to be by her side.

She nodded slightly to Jin'er, who understood and took out two purses from her sleeve and gave one to each of them.

The two kowtowed to her and said, "Thank you for the reward, Master."

"Okay, Li Shun stays here, and Zhang De goes out first."

Shen Yueyao lowered her head and looked casually at the light crimson nail polish on her nails, with no emotion in her tone.

"Tell me, what instructions does the Sixth Prince have?"

Li Shun raised his head and smiled flatteringly, but there was not much respect in his dark eyes.

"My Lord, the Sixth Prince has told you to gain the Crown Prince's trust first and wait for his next instructions."

Shen Yueyao sneered in her heart. Jing Lince was quite cautious. He was worried that she would know his plan in advance and be prepared.

She smiled and said, "It's easy to gain the trust of His Royal Highness. There are so many women around His Royal Highness, who has he ever trusted? The Sixth Prince thinks too highly of me."

"The Sixth Prince has had good eyesight since he was young. He never misjudges people. He can trust the master, so he must know the master's abilities very well. The master does not need to belittle himself."

Shen Yueyao was shocked. For a servant to say such words, he must have been with Jing Lince for many years and did not seem to be a simple person.

She glanced at Li Shun and said coldly.

"Let's go out first."

Li Shun bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

Shen Yueyao raised her eyebrows casually and glanced at Yu Furong beside her.

There was a slight smile on her lips, without any warmth.

"Do you know everything?"

Shen Yueyao was wearing a long cloud-colored silk dress, with a slender waist, jade lotus adorning her hair, and a pretty face, which was exceptionally charming.

Thinking about how Wen Xueshu met Jing Ruzhang twice a month when she went to Changning Palace to pay her respects, she felt indescribably envious.

She had been in the palace for so long, but except for the first time she went to Changning Palace and saw him from afar in the waterside pavilion, she had never met him by chance.

She had done her homework in advance for this chance encounter.

In addition to Jin'er, there was also Li Shun following her. As Jing Lince's eyes, she would of course take him with her wherever she went.

Otherwise, how can she show her obedience?

Shen Yueyao raised her eyes to the horizon. The remaining sunlight that penetrated the buildings was gradually fading away, like a dying phoenix.

It is extremely beautiful yet a bit sad.

Shen Yueyao and Jin'er confirmed it again.

"Are you sure the prince will be back at this hour?"

Jin Er nodded and said, "Yes, the news is correct. I heard that the Crown Prince went to meet an important person, but I don't know who it is. But the Crown Prince said that he would be back at twilight hour. But...?"

Shen Yueyao's heart tightened a little. How could he, such a cautious person, casually reveal when he would be back?

She glanced at Jin'er and said, "But what?"

"But is it really okay for us to just come to the front yard like this?"

Of course she knows it's not good. Isn't this just to show her enthusiasm and win favor and trust?

Besides, didn't he think that she was smart and could be entrusted with important tasks in the future?

Appropriately hide your shortcomings so that you can find an opportunity to escape in the future.

Li Shun frowned.

"Master, I have to say that your beauty trap is not a very smart way to win your favor."

Shen Yueyao pretended to be angry, rolled her eyes at him and said, "How about you come?"

"...Master is joking."

Jin'er was really lowering her head and smiling with her hands covering her lips. As soon as she raised her head, she excitedly pulled Shen Yueyao's sleeve.

"Master, Master, His Highness is back, come and see."

Shen Yueyao looked up and really saw Jing Ruzhang wearing court robes, looking handsome, walking towards her with steady steps.

She thought to herself, I hope I am overthinking it.

The moment he stepped into the East Palace, he caught a glimpse of Shen Yueyao at the corner gate, and his thin lips pulled into an imperceptible smile.

"Why is Concubine Shen here?"

Jiang Ye behind him said with a hint of surprise.

This is the front yard, and she shouldn't be here.

A person who is usually cautious and prudent appears in a place that goes against the rules. Naturally, she has her purpose.

Jing Ruzhang narrowed his cold eyes slightly, with a hint of teasing, as if saying, let me see what tricks you can play.

Shen Yueyao smiled gently, her eyes and eyebrows were very charming, and she walked forward with a bow.

"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jing Ruzhang's jade-like fingertips twisted the light yellow gold-threaded cuffs, and he raised his hand to lift his wide sleeves and put them behind his back.

"Why is Concubine Shen here?"

Shen Yueyao lowered her eyebrows and said, "I have prepared some wine in Liufengxuan, and I would like to invite Your Highness to have a chat."

Jing Ruzhang's lips twitched slightly because of her straightforwardness.

"You know this is not the place for you."

"...I just...just want to see His Highness..."

She lowered her head and spoke in a soft voice with a hint of grievance.

Her lips were red and sparkling, and her neck was slender and long, so white that it was dazzling.

The lotus flowers on her temples swayed gently in the cool breeze, showing her delicate look.

Jing Ruzhang's eyes darkened slightly, he clenched his hands behind his back a little tighter, and turned his head away.

"Concubine Shen has such a kind intention, I will fulfill your wish."

Shen Yueyao's heart skipped a beat. He actually agreed so easily? !

He is nothing like that aloof and noble Crown Prince!

She had never thought that she would succeed. She had only wanted to be scolded by him and be punished by copying something like "The Rules for Women".

So that Jing Lince would know that she was not what he imagined.

She never thought that he would actually agree and disrupt her plans.

Li Shun didn't expect it to be so smooth. This Master Shen is really amazing.

It’s better to be born like this!

pity……

Shen Yueyao smiled, made way, and let Jing Ruzhang walk in front.

Qiuju looked out and saw that the Crown Prince had returned with his master, so she quickly notified Chunfeng and Dongxue to serve the dishes.

Jing Ruzhang entered the room and raised his hands.

Shen Yueyao understood that she was asked to help change clothes, and Xia Ye considerately presented her with a smoky purple brocade robe with sparkling patterns.

She seldom does such a thing and tries her best not to make mistakes.

Normally, she would bow and greet people whenever she met them, which was quite polite.

But when it comes to the ability to serve others, she is just an embroidered pillow.

Jing Ruzhang lowered his head and glanced at her, then tied the jade belt with clumsy but careful movements.

It was clearly a very ordinary thing, but she took it so seriously.

In the current imperial court, when my father was young, he was content with enjoying himself, but now, power has fallen into the hands of others.

He had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of restoring imperial power.

In the court, he was decisive and wise.

By seeing the rise and fall of chess pieces, one can understand people’s minds, glimpse into opportunities for survival, and break the deadlock.

He is fully aware of his responsibilities, and is not selfish or emotionally involved.

But the woman in front of me always stirs a nerve somewhere in my heart.

Maybe it's curiosity, maybe it's something else.

I thought she would do such a ridiculous thing to him just to enter the palace.

But now it seems that it is not what he thought.

Before, he thought she was just a fool, but he never expected that she could write such a moving story like "The Legend of White Snake" after being confined to her house.

She had clearly met Jing Lince when she went to Lanyue Palace, but she hid it from him.

Reason told him to keep his distance from her because she was a dangerous woman!
