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

Linze walked out of the room expressionlessly, and the room returned to silence.

Xie Nanyuan's bony hands stroked the butterfly-patterned hairpin with kingfisher feathers, his pupils deep.

That day, the eunuch brought the emperor's reward. He fell in love with the hairpin at first sight and kept it subconsciously. Now he thinks that it was not appropriate.

There was no use for him to keep this hairpin as there were no women in the palace. This hairpin looked to be worth a lot of money, so he might as well pawn it.

So, before Linze had even finished a cup of tea, he heard Xie Nanyuan calling someone again.

He walked in, bowed, and said, "What do you want me to do, Your Majesty?"

Xie Nanyuan stretched out his hand, and Lin Ze stepped forward in confusion. He raised his hands and felt a weight on his palms. Then he saw that the hairpin that the prince had treasured like a treasure just now appeared in his hands.

"Your Highness, this is..." Lin Ze asked hesitantly.

Xie Nanyuan was shrouded in darkness. He said in a low voice, "Pawn this hairpin as well."

what?

Lin Ze's eyes were full of surprise. He really didn't understand the prince's thoughts. Since they were both going to be the princes, why didn't they do it together before?

Or is it that... the prince's hairpin cannot be given away?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lin Ze suddenly felt that his idea was ridiculous.

The prince is a child of destiny, with an imposing appearance, a handsome appearance, and military achievements. There are countless noble ladies in the capital who want to marry him. How could he not give away the prince's hairpin?

Xie Nanyuan saw that the expression on Lin Ze's face kept changing, sometimes confused, sometimes surprised, and finally he shook his head slightly.

He frowned and said, "Do you have any objection?"

A hoarse voice brought Lin Ze back to his senses, and he said respectfully, "I obey your command."

Linze put the hairpin close to his body and turned to leave.

-

Vertical sun.

Warm sunlight shines into the house through the windowsill.

Shaoyao heard the noise inside, pushed the door open, and reached out to hang up the bed curtain.

Shen Qionghua sat up, glanced out the window, and said, "The weather is very good today."

The sun is not too bright and is blocked by clouds, making it good weather for hunting.

Shaoyao smiled and agreed, "Yes, it started to rain lightly last night. I was wondering if today's hunt would be postponed, but who knew the weather would be so good today."

"Has the emperor left the palace?" Shen Qionghua asked.

"Yes, Miss." Shaoyao said. She was a little uneasy, still thinking about what Prince An said yesterday.

She opened her mouth to ask the young lady, but then she remembered that she was the one who delivered the message yesterday, so the young lady probably didn't know either.

The man yesterday was King Rui's follower. Since the young lady asked her to find him, King Rui should have a way to solve the problem, right?

While thinking about this, Shaoyao walked towards the box where the clothes were placed, and then she screamed.

Shen Qionghua frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shaoyao came over with some clothes, her face full of helplessness. "Miss, the clothes we brought are all wet."

"How did it get wet?" Shen Qionghua took the clothes and looked through them. She saw that they were all covered with large water stains. They were definitely unwearable. "Where are the other clothes?"

"It's all wet." Shaoyao said with a bitter face, "Could it be that I forgot to close the window last night? That's why my clothes got soaked by the rain?"

But she clearly remembered that she closed the window last night. Could it be that she was hallucinating?

"What should we do now? Even if we wash and dry these clothes, we can't wear them until tomorrow at the earliest." Shaoyao said anxiously.

How can the lady go out today without clothes?

Shen Qionghua took a look at the location where the box was placed. It was indeed by the window, and there were some water stains on the ground.

She comforted Shaoyao, who was blaming herself, and said, "It's nothing. I'm just an insignificant person anyway. I won't go out today. Let's eat."

Shaoyao spread out the prepared breakfast. It was a simple meal, a bowl of rice porridge, a plate of braised meat, and two steamed buns.

After all, they were nominally just the minister's family, so the good things in the palace were naturally for the royal family to use.

Shen Qionghua had just finished her breakfast and put down her chopsticks when Caiwei, Zhou Lingyi's maid, came over.

Shen Qionghua let someone in.

Caiwei walked in, bowed with a smile, and said, "Cousin, my mistress asked me to tell you to dress up and attend Princess Yongle's banquet in half an hour."

"Princess Yongle?" A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Qionghua's eyes.

Princess Yongle is the daughter of the current queen and the legitimate princess of the Dai Viet Dynasty.

"Yes." Caiwei nodded.

"Last night, the maidservant accompanying Princess Yongle came to deliver a message, so all the noble ladies who came to participate in the hunting today will go."

"Originally, the young lady wanted to inform the cousin yesterday, but she was afraid of disturbing her rest, so she asked me to come early this morning."

Shen Qionghua nodded and said, "I understand."

"In that case, I will take my leave." Caiwei bowed and walked out.

As soon as Caiwei left, Shaoyao asked anxiously, "Miss, what should we do now?"

Princess Yongle's banquet certainly cannot be casual, but the young lady's clothes are not suitable to wear.

Shen Qionghua patted Shaoyao's hand to signal her to calm down.

But I felt that all this was too coincidental. Princess Yongning was going to hold a banquet, but her clothes just happened to be unfit to wear?

She pondered for a moment and said, "Bring me the purse I carry with me."

Shaoyao did as she was told.

Shen Qionghua opened her purse and took out two silver notes.

"Take the banknote and go to the embroidery room in the palace. Find the maid there and ask her to give me a piece of clothing."

Her relationship with Zhou Lingyi and Zhou Lingfu was not good enough to borrow their clothes, and besides, it was all too coincidental that she didn't dare to wear their clothes rashly.

She remembered that the embroidery room in the palace always prepared some clothes for emergencies.

But now she has little influence, and people may not pay attention to her if she wants clothes.

Take the banknote with you, and it should work out for the sake of the banknote.

"Yes, Miss." Shaoyao clenched the banknotes in her hand and hurried out.

A quarter of an hour later, Shaoyao came in with a light blue dress in her hands, looking very happy.

"Miss, the maid in the palace is quite easy to talk to. I gave her the banknote and she readily gave me the clothes."

Shen Qionghua listened to Shaoyao's words and looked at the gorgeous dress, her brows furrowed, feeling that something was wrong.

But seeing that time was almost up, she didn't care about much and asked Shaoyao to help her dress and put on makeup, and she was barely ready before leaving.

Shen Qionghua stood in front of the bronze mirror and felt that the dress was too flashy, but she had no other choice, so she held Shaoyao's hand and walked out of the room.

Zhou Lingfu and Zhou Lingyi had already been waiting in the courtyard with their maids.

"Cousin, this dress is really beautiful." Zhou Lingyi praised with a smile.

Zhou Lingfu snorted coldly when she heard this, but she rarely refrained from making a sarcastic remark.

Shen Qionghua's eyes flickered, and she smiled, "It's really bad luck. It rained continuously yesterday, and all the clothes in my trunk were soaked. I had to borrow these from the embroidery maid in the palace."

Zhou Lingyi's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this.

"This is the craftsmanship of the embroidery room in the imperial palace. No wonder the dress is so beautiful."

"It's getting late. It would be bad if we were late. Let's get going."

Zhou Lingyi said this and walked towards the garden first.
