The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

"Aunt, why are you here so early in the morning? I should be the one to greet you."

"There's no need for so many rules. Just do as you please, just like you're at home." Lin held Shen Qionghua's hand and sat down, her face full of concern. "Are you feeling well?"

Shen Qionghua smiled and nodded, "I feel much better after waking up."

"I heard yesterday that you fell into the water. I wanted to come see you immediately, but I thought you were frightened and should rest more, so I came today." Lin said.

Shen Qionghua smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie, for your concern."

Lin chatted with Shen Qionghua for a few more words before turning the topic back to the main topic.

"I heard that Princess Pingning sent you an invitation today?" Lin said casually.

"My aunt also knows about this?" Shen Qionghua was a little surprised, then said with a look of honor, "I didn't expect that Princess Pingning would actually invite me."

He looked very surprised and wanted to go very much.

Lin: "..."

Lin tightened her grip on the handkerchief.

Princess Pingning is from the faction of Prince Rui. How could she let Shen Qionghua get along with Princess Pingning? What if something happened?

No, she can't go!

Thinking of this, Lin said with concern, "You just jumped into the water yesterday. You should rest well for a few days. Your health is more important. There's no need to rush out. I think Princess Pingning will understand."

Shen Qionghua opened her mouth slightly in surprise and confusion when she heard this. "Auntie, are you asking me to reject Princess Pingning's invitation?"

Lin nodded slightly.

Shen Qionghua was horrified. "But aunt, this is a letter from Princess Pingning herself. The Shen family is just a merchant family. How dare we refuse a letter from a princess who was personally appointed by the late emperor? If the princess blames us, the Shen family cannot bear the consequences."

As she spoke, she looked Lin up and down, her fear turning into surprise. She smiled and said, "Aunt, why don't you write a reply to the princess on my behalf, saying that you think I need to recuperate and am not fit to go out, and that you can reject the princess on my behalf."

As Shen Qionghua spoke, she took Lin's hand and wanted to take her to the desk to write a reply.

Lin waved her hands repeatedly and almost vomited blood.

What does Shen Qionghua mean?

If the Shen family can’t afford it, can the Yongning Marquisate afford it?

Although Princess Pingning was only a princess and not as noble as Princess Anle, she was much more noble than her, the wife of the Marquis of Yongning, who did not even have an imperial edict.

How could she write this reply on behalf of Shen Qionghua? What if Princess Pingning held a grudge against her?

"Auntie has thought about it and you little girl should have a lot to say. You look rosy today and falling into the water yesterday should not have had much impact on your health. It would be good for you to go out for a walk." Lin said, thinking secretly in her heart.

Meeting once shouldn't be a big deal. Princess Pingning should just be grateful to the girl for saving her, and maybe she will forget about her right away.

If I keep delaying seeing you, maybe they will miss you even more and send someone to post messages from time to time.

"Then Auntie agrees that I should accept Princess Pingning's invitation?"

Shen Qionghua felt particularly relieved when she saw Lin being humiliated.

Lin nodded stiffly.

After seeing Lin off, Shen Qionghua wrote a reply to Princess Pingning and asked Gan Cao to give it to the servant of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Vertical sun.

After Shen Qionghua finished dressing up, she took Shaoyao and Gancao and got on the carriage of the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

The carriage moved forward slowly and soon reached the territory of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Shen Qionghua lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a girl in a sky blue dress standing at the door from afar. She had fair skin, willow-shaped eyebrows, big eyes, and two small dimples on the corners of her lips when she smiled. It was Princess Pingning.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Shen Qionghua got off the carriage and bowed to Princess Pingning.

Princess Pingning immediately stepped forward and helped Shen Qionghua up. "Oh, no need to be so polite. You are my savior. How can I ask my savior to bow?"

As she spoke, she took Shen Qionghua's hand and walked into the mansion.

The Duke of Zhenguo is a duke of the highest rank, and his title is hereditary.

The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was a reward from the founding emperor to the Duke of Zhenguo at that time. It covers a large area, but what surprised Shen Qionghua was that as he walked along the way, he found that the decoration inside the mansion was very simple, with almost no precious flowers and plants to be seen. It was far inferior to the garden of the Marquis of Yongning's Mansion.

Luo Xiyao brought Shen Qionghua to a small garden in front of her boudoir. There was a stone table in the garden with a pot of tea and several plates of cakes on it.

Shen Qionghua glanced around. After walking for so long, this was the only place that was acceptable.

Luo Xiyao said a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry for the poor hospitality. The only scenery in the mansion is worth enjoying."

There was no way. Her father thought it was a waste to spend so much money on cultivating flowers and plants. He built a small garden in front of her boudoir because she was a girl. If she were a boy, the mansion would be even more desolate.

"This place is great, thank you Princess for inviting me here." Shen Qionghua said with a smile, feeling that the rumored cold and arrogant Princess Pingning was somewhat cute.

"Oh." Luo Xiyao waved her hands and said, "You saved my life. There's no need for us to be so distant. Just call me Xiyao and I'll just call you Qionghua, okay?"

"Okay, Jun-Xiyao." Shen Qionghua agreed with a smile.

I sighed in my heart that Princess Pingning had such a good character, and it was really a pity that she ended up like that in her previous life.

"Well, we are friends for life and death, so we should be considered friends," Luo Xiyao said.

"Of course, it's my honor to be friends with Jun Xiyao." Shen Qionghua said.

Luo Xiyao laughed, her eyes slightly curved, revealing two shallow dimples, "You really know how to talk. Don't worry, if Anle dares to cause you trouble again, just come to me. I'm not afraid of her!"

Shen Qionghua also laughed when she heard this, "Thank you very much, Xiyao."

Luo Xiyao rolled her eyes after hearing this, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shen Qionghua, saying, "Since we are friends, shouldn't you tell me the truth when I ask you some questions?"

Shen Qionghua took the teacup and said, "What does the princess want to ask? Qionghua will tell you everything she knows."

Luo Xiyao's smile grew wider upon hearing this, and her eyes were filled with gossip.

"How did you get to know my cousin, oh, King Rui? Also, does he like you?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Shen Qionghua was drinking the tea in her hand. When she heard Luo Xiyao's words, she choked and her face turned red. Luo Xiyao was so scared that she quickly patted her back.

It took Shen Qionghua a long time to recover. Just as she was about to explain, she saw Luo Xiyao staring at her.

Luo Xiyao looked at the beautiful and charming woman in front of her, her face flushed, her clear and bright eyes misted with light water due to the effort, and she couldn't help but say:

"You are so beautiful. If I were your cousin, I would like you too."
