After the Hou family's mistress went crazy, she became the favorite of the entire capital.

This Concubine Xu was particularly favored, and even became more popular than the Queen for a time.Shu Yan had never dealt with her in his previous life, but he didn't expect to meet her today.

"Greet your concubine's concubine."

Shu Yan bowed politely and couldn't find anything wrong.

Concubine Xu didn't let her get up, she just looked at her coldly.

Shu Yan's heart skipped a beat, the person coming was not good.

"What is Mrs. He doing here? This is the palace, not your back garden."

The imperial concubine spoke, her voice soft and soft, yet pleasantly tight.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I heard that all the flowers were blooming in the royal garden, and I didn't know if I would have a chance to enter the palace next time, so I took the courage to take a look."

Concubine Xu looked at her coldly: "Oh? Then who do you think is the most popular among those flowers?"

Shu Yan boldly raised his head and looked at Concubine Xu in surprise.

"The world says that peonies are the most beautiful of the country, but I think peonies are very beautiful. It's not that they are similar, but the fragrance of peonies is more profound and long-lasting than peonies, and it is more worthy of others' taste."

Concubine Xu was extremely satisfied.

"Mrs. He, do you really think so?"

Shu Yan pointed at the blooming flowers not far away, "Look, Madam, there are so many flowers in the Royal Garden, who did you see first?"

Before Concubine Xu could speak, she added, "Who did you smell first?"

There are so many flowers in the imperial garden. They are so colorful at a glance that it makes your eyes look like flowers, but the fragrance of peonies can make people recognize them instantly.

"That's a great answer."

Concubine Xu had just praised her, and then her expression changed.

"If you dare to compare peony with peony, you are not only disrespectful to the queen, but you are also trying to trap me into injustice. Come on, give me a beating."

Concubine Xu was no longer as soft and boneless as she had been before. When she became ruthless, she looked stern and majestic. Shu Wan, who was hiding in the corner, was so frightened that her legs went weak and she broke into a cold sweat.

She hoped that Concubine Xu would beat Shu Yan to death, but she was also afraid that if Shu Yan was really dead, no one would take her out of the palace.

She was even more afraid that if someone discovered her identity, she would die in the palace sooner or later.

But Shu Yan, who should have been scared, didn't panic at all. It wasn't until she heard the fifth prince's voice greeting Concubine Xu that a faint smile appeared on her lips.

"Greetings to Concubine Xu."

Concubine Xu stared at Mo Jingnian with contempt and disdain, "Why is the fifth prince here?"

"I came late to the banquet. I couldn't go to pay my respects to my father. I just wanted to take a look around the imperial garden, but I didn't expect to meet my empress."

In Xu Guifei's eyes, the fifth prince was not an important person and she did not take him seriously at all.

Just when he was about to let someone beat Shu Yan, Mo Jingnian seemed to have just recognized her.

"Is this Mrs. He who just amazed everyone? Although I didn't see the sword dance just now, I heard that the father and the queen admired it very much. Princess Qingyang also said that she would like to ask Mrs. He for advice."

Concubine Xu's heart skipped a beat, but she had forgotten that Shu Yan had been in the spotlight just now. If she really hit her now, not only would the emperor be displeased, but the empress would also find out.

After taking a look at the fifth prince, Mo Jingnian, he didn't think that such a mediocre prince had any evil intentions. He didn't want to make the matter a big deal and disturb the emperor's interest, so he took the people away.

"Sister-in-law..."

As soon as he pronounced a word, Shu Yan suddenly spoke in panic, pretending to know him for the first time.

"I have met the fifth prince."

Mo Jingnian understood immediately and just nodded to her and walked away.

Shu Yan glanced at the corner and left quickly.

After walking far away, she thanked Mo Jingnian for the rescue and asked about his injury. "It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about." Mo Jingnian said meaningfully, "Have you known my identity for a long time?"

Shu Yan just smiled and didn't say much.Mo Jingnian didn't ask any more questions and just assumed it was He Wangzhou who confessed to her.

After all, everyone knows that Mr. He is afraid of his wife.

Shu Yan saluted, "I have a heartfelt request, and I would like to ask your highness for help."

Mo Jingnian smiled, "Sister-in-law doesn't have to be so reserved when there's no one around, let alone call me your highness."

"Sister-in-law" was called again and Shu Yan felt a cold sweat in his heart.

Seeing her becoming more and more unnatural, Mo Jingnian laughed again. "Sister-in-law said straight away that as long as I can do it, I will do it for my sister-in-law."

She really couldn't afford this title, but now she could only ask the fifth prince for help.

After explaining the reason, Mo Jingnian agreed, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely send Miss Shu Er back to my house safely."

Shu Yan thanked him again, but Mo Jingnian said, "Sister-in-law, if you want to thank me, just go and thank Wangzhou. Wangzhou asked me to come here, and Wangzhou taught me to say those words."

Although Mo Jingnian was not favored and was the son that Emperor Beiyuan paid the least attention to, this was a palace with many people and he had to avoid suspicion, so he had to say goodbye and leave.

"Your Highness, would you like to watch a show with me?"

Shu Yan suddenly called him out.

*
The Crown Princess always paid attention to the Prince, and when she saw that he had not returned for a long time, and none of the ladies at the banquet came back, the Crown Princess had already made suspicions in her mind.

Just after walking out of the banquet, someone from the palace happened to be passing by. The princess was wondering about the prince's movements. The young eunuch pointed to a certain place and said, "I just saw His Royal Highness over there. Which lady was he talking to?"

The Crown Princess's face dropped and she walked quickly.When they arrived at the place mentioned by the palace official, the princess saw a woman in the prince's arms on the covered bridge from a distance.She rushed forward and pulled it out.

Seeing that face clearly, the Crown Princess's face was livid, and she slapped her down.

"Lin Jin'an, how dare you seduce the prince!"

Lin Jinan was beaten and fell to the ground. Her clothes were all wet. Although she was wrapped in clothes, her entire body was exposed in front of the prince. The prince was so jealous that she slapped her twice more to relieve her anger.

Mo Yuande never liked the fact that the Crown Princess was kind and vicious, and now she hit people without asking the reason, which made the Crown Prince unhappy.

"Stop! This is the lady of General Lin's family after all. How could you beat her like this?"

The Crown Princess was so angry that she went crazy, "Is the Crown Prince distressed? You left the banquet one after another just to do this shameful thing?"

"Princess, be careful what you say!"

Mo Yuande pointed at Lin Jinan, "Miss Lin fell into the water, Gu happened to be passing by, and I just saved her life."

The Crown Princess had already lost her mind, "Why didn't you go into the water to save me last year when I fell into the water? Now you saved her if it were her?"

If it hadn't been for that accident, how could she have been injured and couldn't afford to fall ill?

"Have you long thought that I would die so that someone else could be your crown princess?"

Snapped!
Mo Yuande slapped her across the face, and the princess was stunned.It took him a while to react, covering half of his face and staring at the two of them bitterly.

Lin Jinan was wearing the most luxurious clothes today, but now he fell into the water and was weighed down by his clothes.

After finally regaining his composure, Lin Jinan explained hurriedly.

"I just saw Shu Yan and two men making love to each other, so I followed him out of curiosity. I didn't expect that he accidentally fell into the water, so the prince sacrificed his life to save him, which made the princess misunderstand."

She gritted her teeth bitterly.

I didn't see clearly which little palace maid pushed her into the water just now. Now there is no ghost except the three of them, and no one would believe it if she told her.

It would be better to take this opportunity to drag Shu Yan into the water and let people take a good look at her slutty look. (End of chapter)
