The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

This matter was not easy to find out.

Qingyu had asked everyone in Jibaozhai, but no one had ever seen the Tang-colored rouge box.

When the people inside heard him ask this, they were shocked and asked back:

Can we still see Tangse Rouge now?

This means that the peach-colored rouge made by the Queen has not been seen for many years.

Then it could only have been brought by the guest who went to Jibaozhai that day.

"Princess, I have checked all the people who went to Jibaozhai that day, and I think there are three people who are suspicious."

"One is Miss Shen, the daughter of Prime Minister Shen."

"There is also the younger daughter-in-law of Lord Shu, Ms. Xu."

"The other one is last year's top scorer Duan Fan."

Lu Zhaoling felt that this matter seemed to be directed at her because the thing had not fallen earlier or later, and Lu Anrong had not been to Jibaozhai for a long time, but that day he was suddenly led in by Shen Xiangjun.

After entering, Shen Xiangjun gave him a complicated look, and then walked towards the corner.

At that time, Lu Anrong thought that Miss Shen wanted to say something to him without being seen by others, so he immediately followed her quickly.

But once they turned the corner, Miss Shen disappeared.

Qingyu went to check the corner carefully, and then asked the clerk at Jibaozhai for more details to find out who might have passed by that place at that time.

That leads to the several rooms in the back for entertaining distinguished guests.

The people who were able to enter the back room that day were those three people.

And they all arrived before Shen Xiangjun.

Therefore, it is very likely that the item was dropped by one of the three of them.

But it was very strange that Shen Xiangjun led Lu Anrong over.

It's no wonder that Lu Zhaoling suspected Shen Xiangjun of having a conspiracy as soon as she heard about her name. It's true that in this era, Shen Xiangjun was able to wait until this age without getting engaged, which meant that she had too much in mind for Zhou Shiyue.

In other words, she definitely did not give up on Zhou Shiyue.

If she doesn't give up, she will probably continue to trip her up.

"What has Shen Xiangjun been doing over the past year?" Lu Zhaoling asked.

After asking, she realized that Qingyu would not be able to find out so much in such a short time. They all went to Subei together.

But unexpectedly, Zheng Ying floated over as soon as she asked.

"Miss, I know this."

Lu Zhaoling was surprised, "You knew?"

"Yes." Zheng Ying said indignantly, "I knew Miss Shen wanted to snatch Prince Jin from you. Since you were not in the capital, I had to help you keep an eye on her. When it was inconvenient for me to go out, I asked my parents and sister to help find out."

Is the entire Zheng family helping her keep an eye on Shen Xiangjun?

Lu Zhaoling felt a little amused and helpless after hearing this.

"Then come and listen."

"Miss Shen has been doing three things these days. One is keeping an eye on her father. My sister often sees her sending people to secretly follow Prime Minister Shen."

"The second is to open a shop. The shop is called Jingxiangyuan. It sells some incense sticks, incense, and medicinal incense. Business is booming!"

"There is one more thing. Miss Shen has found a master. I don't know what she learned, but every time I see Miss Shen, I feel that she has changed a little."

Lu Zhaoling was a little surprised when he heard this.

"What kind of change?"

Zheng Ying thought about it seriously and said, "I feel like she's getting better and better. Yes, she is. But I don't know what she's learning. I can't get into the house she went to."

"Set up a formation?"

"Yes."

"It seems that Shen Xiangjun really has a great master."

After hearing what Zheng Ying said, Lu Zhaoling also suspected Shen Xiangjun the most.

"If she wants Lu Anrong to be in love, what is her purpose?"

Lu Zhaoling asked about the top scholar Duan Fan again.

"Minister Duan is a handsome man. The emperor praised him highly during the palace examination. He has now been admitted to the Hanlin Academy. However, I heard that he has just completed three years of mourning for his mother, so the emperor is not in a hurry to arrange a marriage for him."

Qingyu said, "However, everyone in Jibaozhai knows that Princess Changning has taken a fancy to him. I heard that Princess Changning has been running to the palace recently, hoping to ask the emperor to grant her a marriage."

"Then where is Duan Fan from? Is he from the capital?"

"The princess certainly didn't expect that Duan Fan was from Nan Shao." Qingyu said.

"From Nanshao?"

Lu Zhaoling was really surprised.

Speaking of Nan Shao, she suddenly shuddered, "Wait a minute, Duan?"

"Is this number one scholar's surname Duan?"

"Yes."

Qingyin and Qingbao looked at each other, and they both thought of Madam Sheng San at the same time.

"The third lady's Duan Lang also has the last name Duan."

"No way, no way?" Lu Zhaoling cried out, "Don't tell me she is really Duan Lang's descendant."

"What's that number one scholar? How old is he?"

"About twenty?"

"At this age, are you married?"

"I've heard that. They were originally engaged, but three years ago, on the eve of the wedding, their mother passed away. The other party felt that it was unlucky, so they broke off the engagement. And then the top scholar has been in mourning ever since."

Zheng Ying quickly told what she knew.

"Therefore, many people in the capital sympathized with the champion and felt that he was very upright and filial. After being rejected, he did not complain at all to the girl's family and even spoke up for them. He was a very good man."

"Therefore, not only Princess Changning likes him, but many girls in the capital also like him."

"There is also a daughter of General Pinglin who has spread the word that she wants to compete with Princess Changning."

Lu Zhaoling was stunned.

"Why is there another general's daughter here?"

"This general had made great contributions when he was young. He also saved the emperor in the hunting grounds. As a result, his leg was broken. After the injury healed, the leg became lame and he could no longer fight. It seemed that he could no longer have children. He only had one daughter."

Qingyin and Qingbao knew about this and explained it to Lu Zhaoling.

"Therefore, the emperor named his only daughter a princess. Although she had no blood relationship with the royal family, the royal family felt that it hurt him that he had no children, and they felt very guilty. So they doted on the princess."

"No one dared to criticize this Princess Baoning for anything she did wrong. She was very domineering when she was young. She once crawled through the dog hole of Prince Jin's mansion and said that the mansion should first give the prince to..."

"Cough cough."

Seeing that Qingbao was getting excited and was about to say something he shouldn't, Qingyin immediately coughed twice.

She was not afraid that the young lady would misunderstand, but Qingbao's wording might not sound nice when he talked about this matter.

So she just reminded Qingbao to think carefully about the wording.

"What are you talking about? Why not let me hear it too?"

Zhou Shiyue's voice sounded like a ghost, which scared Qingyin and Qingbao. No, the two of them really jumped up.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Lu Zhaoling turned her head and saw Zhou Shiyue leaning against the door. She was speechless.
