Chapter 167 The Princess's Change

Jianshu looked at her posture and wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

Jiang Xuening left the Xie Mansion before leaving, and then went to the Youhuang Pavilion after leaving.

Xie Weizheng is playing chess with Lv Xian.

He had a calm and effortless demeanor, while Lv Xian across from him had a look of helplessness. He wished he could reach out and scrape off his scalp. Looking up, he saw Jianshu coming in from outside, and he breathed a sigh of relief as if he had seen a savior.

Xie Ju'an has been playing chess with him every day, and I don't know where he's been!

He's going to lose his head!

Xie Wei looked at the chessboard in front of him and asked directly, "What did she say?"

Jianshu secretly pinched a cold sweat and said, "Miss Ning Er is determined to take a risk. It seems that she must save the person. Moreover, she seems to have some old grudges against the one in the palace and has no intention of retreating. Instead, she wants to take this opportunity to harm the other party."

Xie Wei lost a son and finally lifted his head.

Lv Xian secretly scrutinized the master and servant, and while Xie Wei turned his head, his fingers quietly climbed onto the chessboard. He quickly picked up two black pieces from the right corner and hid them under the chessboard.

Xie Wei said, "It seems like something she can do."

Jianshu, of course, saw Lv Xian's movements and his gaze drifted for a moment. He replied to Xie Wei, "The plan is still the same, but Li Daitao's move was advanced?"

Xie Weidao said, "This was a rare opportunity. Ning Er spent a lot of money to initiate a marriage proposal in the market, and we also contributed to it behind the scenes. Although Xiao Shu's plan to replace Shen Zhiyi for the marriage was not achieved due to her enfeoffment as a concubine, it has caused doubts among the people about the marriage. Moreover, the leader of the sect is also eyeing closely. Although he cannot get involved in the affairs of the capital now, if the marriage is not successful, he will not stand idly by. So, all he needs to do is splash a little spark, push it forward, and stir up public anger." If Shen Lang didn't want to recall the Yan family, he might have to comply, causing internal and external difficulties for the court. If he missed this opportunity, he wouldn't know when. "

L ü Xian picked up his white shirt and raised his eyebrows, saying, "Even if you don't want to stop, you really don't want to waste any opportunity."

Xie Wei turned his eyes to look at him.

He didn't feel guilty. Shi Shiran dropped his own white coin on the chessboard and continued: "It's obviously your Ning Er girl who is in the front of the battle, and you have such a dark calculation behind. Tut, after the case of Yu Ruyi, your eyeliner in the palace has been cleared for the most part. It's better for Ren Ning Er than you. Even the eunuch who is close to the emperor can buy it. If I said, don't bother so much, go over Jiang Xuening and get involved with what Zheng Bao is, and ask him to poison the emperor directly, wouldn't it be all right?"

Where is it so easy to poison in the palace?

Anything that needs to be put into the emperor's mouth must be held in a silver vessel and passed through the eunuch's mouth again. Poisoning is not well planned, as the emperor may have poisoned himself before he dies.

Lv Xian was just a casual joke.

However, the case of Yu Ruyi was indeed manipulated by the dead hero Yi Cheng after he arrived in the capital. Without Xie Wei's consent, he used his eyeliner in the palace, which attracted the attention of Empress Dowager Xiao and the emperor, and carried out a thorough cleaning in the palace, so that he did not leave many people available in the palace.

Lv Xian is using this to satirize him.

Xie Wei, however, did not take on this matter and calmly said, "If Zheng Bao is a person with unethical conduct who can easily be bribed, I'm afraid he won't be so easy to win over Ning Er, let alone agree to secretly help Ning Er open a convenient door for her in the palace."

Lv Xian talked nonsense and saw that his attention was no longer on the chessboard. He breathed a sigh of relief in secret, and after he finished playing, he urged, "Hurry up, it's your turn. I don't believe I can't win against you today."

Xie Wei looked back at the chessboard and dropped a piece.

He didn't notice!

L ü Xian was secretly pleased, his tail curled up and he pretended to be hypocritical, saying, "You think you treat me like your own home. Just don't give me the money for tea, and it's not cheap for others to ask me to accompany you. The petite little girl goes to your mansion every morning, but you avoid it like a snake or a scorpion, unable to understand the charm. Xie Ju'an, Xie Ju'an, do you think you should argue and be angry with them?"

The sword book's eyelids twitched wildly on the side.

Xie Wei slowly raised his gaze and remained motionless, saying, "Lv Zhaoyin, if there is another time, you can hide a few chess pieces and give me a few to eat."

Lv Xian stiffened instantly and said, "..."

Does your grandmother have eyes on the back of your head?!

*

The next morning, at Mingfeng Palace.

The palace people remained silent, each holding their skirts, hairpins, and fragrant powder.

Su Shangyi personally took Luo Zidai from the box and painted an eyebrow for Shen Zhiyi.

Halfway through the painting, tears couldn't stop falling.

On the contrary, Shen Zhiyi acted like a carefree person and wiped tears for Su Shangyi. She smiled and said, "Su Shangyi watched Zhiyi grow up. Now that Zhiyi is getting married, she should be happy for Zhiyi. Why do she still cry?"

She didn't say it was okay, but when she said it, Su Shangyi couldn't even hold onto Dai's eyebrows.

She took the Dai from Su Shangyi's hand, leaned in front of the Linghua mirror, and gently scanned the painting with each stroke, saying, "The girl's family has been in a double decade, and she always wants to get married. It's just that some people get married close, while others get married far. Anyway, Su Shangyi can't spend her whole life with Zhiyi. I always have to go see the world outside myself, and I have to bear the wind and rain outside. At this critical moment, when I cry, it's only worth looking down on. Why not smile and show some courage?"

The two eyebrows were drawn thin and long like two curved willow leaves, but the shallow scar under the corner of the eye was still somewhat noticeable.

Shen Zhiyi put down Luo Zidai, picked up a fine pen from the dowry, dipped it in a bit of cherry blossom powder, and slowly traced it over. Following the shape of the old wounds, she outlined it into a fallen cherry blossom.

I looked at it when I finished writing, but couldn't help but laugh.

She thought of Jiang Xuening and said, "This makeup needs to be done by Ning Ning in order to be painted perfectly, as if it were real. But when I go for a wedding, it's far from Yanmen Pass. When I arrive in Tatar, no one will paint this makeup for me again. I'll paint it myself a few times first, and it's good to be familiar with my hands."

Su Shangyi wiped her tears and said, "Your Highness, after bidding farewell to the Holy One and the Empress Dowager today, the old palace attendants will also come to the palace to bid farewell to you. Then, please ask Miss Jiang Er to draw a picture for you."

Shen Zhiyi smiled and said, "She's afraid she won't cry and turn into a tearful person. She can't even hold her pen steady. How can she draw for me?"

This scar was left by the rebellion between the Prince of Pingnan and the Heavenly Cult when she was still in her infancy. The sword scraped her face, but fortunately, the wet nurse protected her before she died, and she managed to escape. For those who have experienced this in the palace, this scar constantly reminds them of the hardships and shame that the royal family has experienced.

When she was young, she dared not even look in the mirror.

As she grew older, people around her told her that she was the Royal Highness Princess. No matter what she looked like, she could get what she wanted. Because the royal bloodline flowing through her body will not undergo any changes due to this scar.

Over time, she also believed it.

Because these people are indeed speaking well, there is almost nothing in the world that she cannot obtain. When the palace became bored, the children of the nobles and nobles were invited to play inside. Everyone flattered themselves and accompanied them. You can sit on the lap of your father and play with the memorials on the imperial case, or hide behind your brother and drag his hair, go to the mansion of the brave and resolute Marquis to cause trouble, and Yan Lin can carry the blame

But now she doesn't want to go for a marriage.

The people who once doted on her, indulged in her, and cared about her all changed their faces in an instant. They became difficult, ruthless, cold, and detestable, so much so that she couldn't even recognize them.

So it was only at this moment that I understood: as this scar that would never fade away revealed, even if she was a princess, her fate could not be controlled at times, and it was precisely because she was a princess that her fate became increasingly unpredictable and difficult to resist.

Twenty years ago, the sword aimed at her was that of a villain;

Twenty years later, what hurt her was the abandonment of blood relatives.

The entire Mingfeng Palace has been adorned with colorful decorations.

She stared at the exceptionally calm face in the mirror, feeling as if she had lost some weight these days, to the point where she didn't look like her former self, but she didn't linger much.

As he lowered his eyes and stood up, there was a urging sound from outside.

It was a gorgeous but cold voice: "Your Royal Highness the Long Royal Highness Princess, you have been delayed for more than a moment. The Holy One and the Empress Dowager should wait for a long time."

Shen Zhiyi walked out.

From a distance outside the palace gate, there seemed to be two layers of guards, ready to guard, much stricter than the previous Mingfeng Palace. Palace eunuchs and eunuchs all stood with their heads buried under the vermilion walls of the palace, while Xiao Shu, who had only been granted the title of virtuous consort for a month, stood at the forefront.

In the past, she was a good sisters of the same class, but now she has become her sister-in-law.

Shen Zhiyi glanced around and said, "These heavy and heavy people are guarding me. Does Empress Dowager Xian still worry that I will escape?"

Xiao Shu's makeup was so stunning that she couldn't help but smile, saying, "Your Highness may not have escaped. Is there anyone who wants to come and save you?"

"Shh."

Shen Zhiyi suddenly burst out laughing, and her gaze slowly turned back to Xiao Shu.

"Actually, my mother appreciated you since childhood and often asked me to get along well with you. Originally, you and I were cousins, so naturally I was close to you. But now you have changed into my wife Huang, and your appearance has changed greatly. My mother is ill with you. You really deserve her cultivation. Recently, there is a word in my heart that I would like to tell you. Do you know -"

Xiao Shu stood at the foot of the stairs, looking up at her.

Shen Zhiyi took a step down and stood one step higher than her. Suddenly, without warning, she raised her hand and slapped her in the face!

"Pop!"

Unexpectedly, the golden hairpin inserted in Xiao Shu's bun hit the ground, causing her pupils to tighten.

There were a few strands of gloomy anger hidden in her eyes.

But she didn't have a seizure, instead she looked back at Shen Zhiyi expressionlessly.

Shen Zhiyi said calmly, "You're really despicable like this."
