Remarry 9,000 Years Old

Chapter 187: He unexpectedly encountered the princess pestering him

Ning Su has always been reliable in doing things. After dinner that day, Liuyun was sent to Shen Nanqiao's place.

When Linglong saw him coming, she almost showed disdain on her face.

In comparison, Liuyun seemed much more prudent. The fifteen-year-old boy held his sword and spoke with a stern face.

"What are your orders, madam?"

There was calculation in Shen Nanqiao's eyes, which made people feel guilty. Liuyun couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, and his whole body tensed up. Then he heard the young lady speak politely.

"How's your archery?"

She said this in a completely unrelated way, and Liuyun was slightly stunned, but when he heard that it was serious business, he was slightly relieved.

"It's okay."

This is obviously modest.

In his previous life, Shen Nanqiao had seen Liuyun's archery skills. He could shoot an arrow through the target from a hundred steps away as easily as taking something out of a bag. His reputation was definitely not in vain. Therefore, after the prince ascended the throne, he kept him by his side as a personal guard.

If not for this, Ning Su would not have been left alone in the end.

She collected her thoughts and looked up at the young boy.

"If I ask you to teach someone archery within ten days, is there a quick way? You don't need to be very proficient, as long as you can hit the target within five meters and bluff people."

Although he had no idea what Shen Nanqiao was up to, Liuyun still nodded.

"As long as you are willing to work hard, it's not a big deal. Not only can I get him on the target, but I can even get him past the bull's eye."

Linglong snorted softly, and then she saw Shen Nanqiao turning his gaze towards her. She immediately put away her disdainful look and lowered her head obediently.

Unexpectedly, the next moment her young lady gave the order.

"In that case, I'll give you ten days to make sure Linglong learns archery. The sooner the better."

As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned, but Liuyun reacted quickly and immediately nodded in agreement.

"I will do my best."

Although Linglong was usually a little spoiled around Shen Nanqiao, she would never go against the young lady's wishes in front of outsiders, so she nodded solemnly.

"I will study hard."

Shen Nanqiao nodded: "This matter is of great importance, we must do our best."

Seeing that the two people who usually didn't get along nodded seriously for a while, they went out one after another.

After the people walked away, Nanny Liu spoke cautiously.

"Is it really okay to let the two of them practice alone? Do you want me to check on them from time to time? To prevent them from fighting."

Shen Nanqiao pursed her lips and smiled.

"No need, Liuyun is a man of measure."

Nanny Liu secretly groaned, Liuyun was usually very sensible, but not in front of Linglong.

Bows and arrows have no sight. If the two of them start fighting and hurt each other, wouldn't that delay the young lady's business?

But seeing that Shen Nanqiao looked confident and didn't want to say much, he couldn't help but hesitate.

In fact, Shen Nanqiao had already noticed the nanny's expression. She reached out and patted her on the shoulder, giving her reassurance.

"Don't worry, I'm measured."

This measure of propriety continued until the Ninth Prince led his troops back to the court.

Emperor Ming was overjoyed, so he ordered people to prepare a banquet, firstly to welcome the guests, and secondly to welcome the Tartar envoys and show the style of a great country.

In order to provide relief to the meritorious officials, the Queen Mother specifically named the Ninth Princess to help with the matter.

Shen Jingyi also benefited from this, going out early and coming back late every day, like a new celebrity.

The Pingyuan Marquis and his wife treated her as a treasure and held her in their hands for fear of dropping her. Ning Ziyu also cared about her every day, and the whole family completely forgot about Su Wan'er.

The old lady of the founding earl was so angry that she cried to the old lady Ning several times, but to no avail.

The Empress Dowager put a big hat on her, and no one dared to neglect this new favorite who was promoted from concubine to concubine.

Shen Jingyi has been very proud these days. She racked her brains and used all the ideas she could think of to plan a banquet that was very splendid.

Outsiders saw that Shen Jingyi was very popular and some tried to curry favor with her, but Shen Nanqiao was the only one who was calm and composed, as if he had everything under control.

Even *** couldn't hold his temper and sent someone to ask if he needed any help, but was sent back by Shen Nanqiao with good food and drinks and a bunch of gifts.

These days she either lingered in Prince Cheng's mansion or went shopping with Zhou Fangrui and Lin Jingshu in jewelry and silk shops, and she did not seem at all embarrassed about having her limelight upstaged.

Even Princess Cheng tried cautiously.

"My son-in-law is busy in the palace. If there is anything you want to do, you can ask your foster father for help."

King Cheng was even more eager to get started.

"Whether you want someone, money, or information, I can get it for you."

Shen Nanqiao just smiled faintly.

"I wasn't the main character that day, so what was there for me to do? Just save your stomach for the feast."

Prince Cheng and his wife had no idea what she was up to, so they just let her go.

The day of the banquet was approaching. In order to reflect the characteristics of a great country, the banquet was specially arranged at the Lanyue Lake in the palace.

It was originally a famous scenic spot on the outskirts of the city. Every year, the young men of the city's noble families would come here to meet young ladies of marriageable age, and many marriages were achieved there.

I don’t know what the Ninth Princess was planning, but she chose this place for the banquet.

In preparation for this banquet, Shen Nanqiao had the princess's court dress ironed a few days in advance, but early in the morning he found a large piece of loose thread on the chest of the dress.

Aunt Liu was horrified: "Who is watching the princess's court dress?"

Linglong has been practicing archery morning and evening these days, and has been a little slack on her duties as Yu Shennanqiao. When she heard the news and rushed over, her face was full of fear.

"There is only one court dress, what should I do?"

Shen Nanqiao, however, seemed not surprised at all and smiled faintly.

"Just use the court beads to block it. Fortunately, it is just a vertical strip. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to see the clues."

This was the only solution available. Linglong went there with a sad face. Soon she brought back a long string of court beads. Shen Nanqiao coiled it a few times and placed it just in front of the jumping thread.

After this little incident, both Nanny Liu and Linglong looked unhappy. Nanny Liu even took out the almanac to look at it, and Shen Nanqiao took it away with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter."

Since he could bring two maids today, Shen Nanqiao also brought Amber. Linglong wanted to say something several times, but was stopped by Shen Nanqiao's eyes.

Nanny Liu and Linglong looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes. They didn't know what their wife was up to, so they had to be extra careful and follow her.

In such banquets, couples usually go together, but because Ning Su had an errand to attend, *** came specially to pick her up.

However, after entering the palace, the two could no longer sit together.

Shen Nanqiao sat with the Grand Tutor's wife according to their rank. Before he sat down, he saw her leaning over and whispering.

"Have you heard that the Tartars brought a princess here for marriage? I don't know if it's for the Crown Prince or the Emperor."

Shen Nanqiao curled his lips slightly.

Not only did she know that the Tatars had sent a princess for marriage, she also knew that the princess was surrounded by several capable men, who severely humiliated the noble ladies of the Chu at the banquet.

What’s interesting is that in the previous life, it was Shen Jingyi who turned the tide. Emperor Ming was grateful to her for making Great Chu proud in front of everyone, and he specially rewarded her generously.

From then on, Shen Jingyi's status in Pingyuan Marquis' Mansion became increasingly higher.

After such a long time, she naturally couldn't let such a situation happen again.

"You'll know after you take a look."

The Grand Tutor's wife was obviously still unsatisfied and continued to share the gossip she had learned with Shen Nanqiao.

"It is said that this princess is both civil and military, so she is probably not from a simple background."

"It's not the top civil or military exam, so whether it goes well or not has nothing to do with us." Shen Nanqiao glanced at the wife of the Grand Tutor, "Why not take advantage of today's youth and talents to choose a future husband for the eldest daughter of the mansion."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor's wife's attention was immediately drawn to the matter and she began to search the entire place.

Before the meal started, Shen Nanqiao used the excuse of going to wash his hands and slipped out when no one was paying attention.

As soon as I walked to the corridor, I saw two figures in the distance. One of them was wearing bright exotic clothes. I knew without even looking that she must be the Tatar princess.

The other familiar figure wearing the Feiyu suit turned out to be Ning Su.

Shen Nanqiao felt something was wrong. The princess came under the pretext of marriage, and she was alone with the eunuchs before she even met the emperor and the prince.

If seen by someone with ulterior motives, I would never be able to wash myself clean even if I jumped into the Yellow River.

Just as she was about to step forward, she saw the princess actually reaching out to pull Ning Su's arm.
