Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

At noon the next day, Shen Li packed her medicine box early and got on the carriage sent by the palace and left.

Someone from the palace came to tell her last night to go to the palace today to examine the emperor and the empress dowager.

As soon as she arrived at the palace gate, Shen Li lifted the curtain of the car and saw Xiao Chenze who was also about to enter the palace.

Xiao Chenze raised his eyebrows, "You're here?"

Shen Li didn't say anything and jumped off the carriage with the help of Qiluo. Qiluo carried the medicine box on her back, and the master and servant walked past Xiao Chenze and went inside.

"Hey, hey, I'm talking to you, why don't you answer?"

"Speaking of you, Shen Li, what are you doing here? Who asked you to come to the palace? My father? Or the Empress Dowager?"

Shen Li suddenly stopped and Xiao Chenze almost bumped into her. He also stopped and stared at her face.

"Are you done with your work? Why do you care about me coming to the palace? I'm in a bad mood today and don't want to talk. Stay away from me."

"You're in a bad mood. Why are you in a bad mood? Who provoked you? Little Zhao?"

Shen Li turned and left.

Her uncle sent someone to deliver a letter to her, informing her to go to the palace today. The letter also said that the emperor would ask her about her engagement in the countryside, and taught her how to answer when she met the emperor.

She was feeling upset when she met Xiao Chenze.

It was Xu Fei who accompanied Xiao Chenze into the palace. Seeing that Shen Li ignored his master and his master kept moving forward, he curled his lips and whispered, "Master, you are no different from the playboys who harass young wives on the street."

"Shut up."

"Shut up."

Xiao Chenze and Shen Li spoke at the same time, shouting at Xu Fei.

Xu Fei quickly covered his mouth and stepped back.

Don't anger the master, or you will get beaten.

The master's face has been gloomy since last night. Xu Yang said it seemed to be related to Miss Shen.

A letter came from the palace, saying that General Fang had clearly told the emperor that Miss Shen could not be allowed to marry their master. It was said that Miss Shen had another engagement besides Yuan Zhilin.

He was overwhelmed by what he heard. What a mess. Women are really troublesome.

No matter how stupid he was, he could feel that his master was being so enthusiastic on purpose. Otherwise, how could his master, who was always calm and indifferent, be so close to a girl?

Alas, the master can’t even make a girl happy, is he worse than him?

Haven't eaten pork, haven't seen a pig run yet?

You can’t even learn it, idiot.

Next time he will take his master to the building to broaden his horizons. There are all kinds of girls there, and he will let the girls teach his master a lesson.

Xu Fei lowered his head and walked forward muttering to himself.

Xiao Chenze stopped talking too.

When Shen Li said she was engaged, he didn't take it too seriously. He didn't expect Fang Yao to mention it in front of his father.

If the emperor took it seriously, there would be no chance for him and Shen Li.

He felt empty inside.

Before returning to Beijing, his uncle talked with him for three days and three nights, analyzing for him one by one the situations of the major families in Beijing, what happened when his mother was seriously ill and died, and several princes in the palace and the forces behind them.

Then, when he came back, he started causing trouble everywhere.

He wants everyone to be disappointed in him and not take him seriously.

Only in this way can he protect himself after returning to Beijing alone.

The cause of the Queen Mother's death must be investigated quietly.

He also needed to slowly figure out who his ministers supported in their hearts.

And the Emperor...

It wasn't that he was fighting for that position, but if he couldn't get it, his fate would be even worse than his mother's, and his grandmother and uncle would be implicated because of his failure...

"Be careful girl."

There was a light cry from the front, and Xiao Chenze looked up quickly, only to see Shen Li almost tripping over the threshold.

His thoughts drifted to Shen Li again.

She was his surprise. There had never been such a person in his plan, nor the experiences that this person brought him.

Whether he wanted it or not, she appeared unexpectedly.

When he was so badly injured that he almost couldn't survive, she saved him.

At that time, he was like a newborn baby, without any ability to resist external invasion. His whole body was covered with wounds, and he was bleeding continuously. A random kick would end his life.

There was no further development in terms of revenge for my mother and the safety of my uncle's family.

It was Shen Li who gave him the chance to live.

It was because of this that the moment he recognized Shen Li, he regarded her as the person he trusted the most from the bottom of his heart. He didn't need a reason, he believed in his intuition.

Sure enough, she did not let him down.

She can disappear instantly and save people from danger. The medicine box she carries with her contains magical herbs that only appear in ancient books. She even knows martial arts and has many unheard-of weapons...

She didn't hide any of this from him.

The more secrets I know about her, the more curious I become about her.

Coupled with his natural dependence on his savior, he always kept an eye on her.

Her every frown and smile could touch his heart. He hoped to see her during the day, and even dreamed of her at night.

This is the girl who spoke rudely and had terrible handwriting. She also had no respect for the rules and was even defiant towards her own grandmother and father. She openly refused to give them face and clearly returned all their plots. What a brilliant move!

Every time he thought of her, he felt as if a ray of light suddenly shone into his life, his heartbeat accelerated, and the throbbing and surging of blood were experiences he had never had before.

His usually indifferent character disappeared in front of her. He deliberately teased her and found excuses to get close to her. He had already decided in his heart that he would not want anyone else as his future princess unless she was the princess.

I thought I could slowly let her feel my feelings, and then find an opportunity to ask my father to grant us marriage.

Unexpectedly, she refused.

Now that it has reached the ears of the Emperor, if his father does not object, his wish will never be fulfilled.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chenze felt even more depressed.

No, absolutely not.

What other engagement? It was clearly an excuse for her to fool herself.

This cunning little fox wants to escape? No way!

The two of them walked in silence, one after the other, towards the imperial study.

The palace servants they met on the road all bowed and greeted them, and after the two men passed by, they secretly looked at them.

Eunuch Chang was standing at the door of the imperial study. He saw two people from a distance and hurriedly announced, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince and Miss Shen have arrived."

"Let them in."

"Yes," Eunuch Chang agreed, leaning forward politely towards the two of them, "This old servant greets the eldest prince and Miss Shen."

Xiao Chenze nodded slightly as usual, while Shen Li and Qiluo smiled at Eunuch Chang, "Hello, Eunuch Chang."

"Oh, good, good, great, eldest prince, Miss Shen, the emperor is calling you two in."
