"Yes."

Jingzhe responded respectfully before saying, "The boss said that many of our people are guarding the hunting ground this time."

Li Shu felt a little relieved, but she didn't take back her words to ask the others to come. Instead, she looked at Nanny Gui and Qinghong Cuiwei and instructed them, "While you're here, whenever you leave the tent, you must ask one of Jingzhe and the others to accompany you."

The three of them were a little confused, but Li Shu did not explain much to them.

Because she just felt that if someone wanted to deal with her, they would most likely target the people around her.

Afterwards a very sumptuous meal was brought in.

They are all Li Shu’s favorite foods.

And the taste is quite familiar.

Li Shu couldn't help but eat more.

After finishing the meal, I remembered the source of that familiar feeling. When someone came to collect the dishes, I casually asked, "Did the Second Prince's wife invite the palace chef Liu to the hunting ground?"

"In reply to Madam Ning, Chef Liu was indeed invited to the hunting grounds, but it was not our princess who invited him, but His Highness the Second Prince."

"..."

Li Shu raised her eyebrows.

She wondered if the Second Prince felt bad for not paying attention to her in the past few years and was trying to show his goodwill to her in this way?

After all, during the years she lived in the palace, her favorite thing was the meals prepared by Liu Yuchu!

But after the maids left, Nanny Gui lowered her voice and said to her, "Young lady used to be devoted to her husband, so I didn't say anything. But when I was in the palace, I could tell that the Second Prince was interested in Young Lady."

"Yin Hengze is interested in me?" Li Shu was so surprised that her eyes widened slightly.

"Yes, and the Empress Dowager also knew about this, so she later forbade the Second Prince to enter and leave Fengyi Palace at will! I once overheard the Empress Dowager and Lan Ruo say that the Crown Prince wasn't lucky enough to marry you, young lady, so how could the Second Prince have the chance!"

"..."

Li Shu blinked.

When she first entered Fengyi Palace, the Second Prince did run to Fengyi Palace all day long, and always gave her a bunch of snacks.

But he said he was going to pay his respects to the queen.

As for the snacks he gave her, he said they were given to him by his mother and the Queen Mother. He didn't like them, so he gave them to her and asked her to eat them with Fei'er.

Then during that period, both she and Fei'er gained a lot of weight.

Therefore, when she later heard that the Queen did not allow the Second Prince to enter Fengyi Palace all day long, she thought that the Queen was afraid that she and Fei'er would become fat as balls due to eating too many snacks, so she did not allow the culprit who made them fat to enter Fengyi Palace!

Who would have thought it was because the Second Prince was interested in her?

And what does it mean when the Queen says that the Prince is not lucky enough to marry her?

Could it be that the Queen had mentioned to her mother that she wanted her to marry the Crown Prince, but her mother didn't want her to marry into the royal family?

As he thought about this, Ning Keyi's voice sounded outside the tent.

"Sister-in-law, can I come in?"

"come in."

As soon as Li Shu finished speaking, the curtain was lifted from the outside, and Ning Keyi walked in with a smile.

After bowing to Li Shu, she sat down next to her and asked, "It's a nice day now, sister-in-law, don't you want to go out for a walk?"

Li Shu said, "I was just about to go out for a walk to help digest my food."

"Then I'll be with my sister-in-law later."

"..."

Li Shu raised her eyebrows.

Wait a minute?

Is there something you want to say to her?

But Ning Keyi hesitated to speak.

After Cuiwei handed a cup of tea to Ning Keyi, Ning Keyi held the cup and spoke hesitantly, "There is something... I wonder if my sister-in-law knows..."

"What's the matter?"

"That is...your elder brother and I are about to get engaged..."

"..."

Li Shu blinked.

There is no need for engagement to take a concubine.

Could it be that Li Jin wants to marry Ning Keyi?

Ning Keyi took a sip of tea awkwardly and continued, "Thanks to my eldest sister-in-law, my aunt and I haven't lost control of ourselves recently. So, my aunt has been trying her best to persuade my mother to find someone else to be the concubine of my eldest sister-in-law's brother. But for some reason, my mother has never agreed. And my father hasn't returned home recently. My aunt was about to go to the army to find him, but someone from the Zhenbei General's Mansion came and said that their eldest young master would not take concubines. If my mother insisted on betrothing me to him, he would marry me..."

Having said that, Ning Keyi stopped talking and looked at Li Shu hesitantly.

Li Shu looked at her for a few moments.

After understanding what she wanted to say, he said directly: "You can act according to your own ideas. There is no need to worry about me. After all, our friendship is not that deep. And even if I no longer have any intersection with Li Jin and others in the future, if you and your daughter lose control of yourselves again and need my help, I will help you."

After all, she received a lot of gifts from them!

Ning Keyi seemed to be relieved, and the dimples on her round and plump face became a little deeper.

After that, Li Shu led Nanny Gui and Qinghong and followed Ning Keyi out of the tent.

Ning Keyi continued, "Originally, my aunt and I didn't want to agree to that marriage, but after careful consideration, my aunt told me that, not only was marrying into the Zhenbei General's mansion as his principal wife a high position for me, but the fact that he said he wouldn't take concubines was the most valuable aspect."

indeed.

There is no girl waiting to get married who would not be moved by that little thing.

When Ning Jin publicly declared for her that he would not take a concubine, countless people were envious.

But in the dream, she ended up becoming a concubine...

Thinking of that, Li Shu's eyes happened to meet Ning Jin's in the distance. She immediately frowned and looked away, even wanting to turn around and go back to the tent.

But Ning Jin strode towards them.

Li Jin and Yin Hengze were also with him.

Because of what Nanny Gui said earlier, she looked at Yin Hengze a few more times.

I don’t know what they were talking about just now, but Yin Hengze was smiling so brightly.

And he looked about 70% like the prince.

When they smiled like that, they were only about 30% similar.

As they were approaching, Li Shu was about to greet Yin Hengze when Gu Yu suddenly ran over and whispered in her ear, "Miss, Cui Wei was just bitten by a snake."

"snake?"

Li Shu's face changed.

How could there be snakes in the middle of winter?

Moreover, the area around the tent will be strictly checked a few days in advance. How did the snake get there?

Guyu nodded, "It was an extremely poisonous snake. Fortunately, I have the antidote pills made by the boss."

Li Shu felt relieved, but her expression did not relax.

Then Guyu said, "Just now, I was following Cuiwei. If I hadn't been dazzled, the snake would have gone straight for Cuiwei. I felt something was a little strange, so I came to report it to the young lady immediately."

Heading straight towards Cuiwei...

Li Shu felt a little uneasy again. Ning Jin and the others had already approached. She didn't even look at Ning Jin and Li Jin. She just bowed to Yin Hengze and said, "Greetings, Second Prince."

"No need for formalities," Yin Hengze said repeatedly, and then added: "I blame myself for being estranged from you these past few years. You wouldn't have been so distant with me before."

"..."

Ning Jin turned around and looked at Yin Hengze calmly.

I just felt that Yin Hengze's smile at this moment was like a peacock spreading its tail tail.

It seems that he really wants to take advantage of Shushu!

But he will not divorce Shushu!

Yin Hengze glanced at Guyu again and asked with concern, "I saw your face change immediately after hearing what the maid said. What happened?"
