When Shen Ping woke up, it was already eight o'clock the next morning. She hadn't slept so comfortably for a long time.

"Oh~"

Shen Ping stretched, went into the space to wash up, and saw that the rice planted last night had grown to several dozen centimeters tall, so she quickly watered it with spiritual spring water.

After finishing all this, Shen Ping started knocking on their door again.

Like Shen Ping, they all slept well last night. After all, they were exhausted from the long journey, and their nerves relaxed, so they slept well.

"Is everyone hungry? Come on, let's go downstairs and have breakfast." Shen Ping invited everyone to go downstairs.

"Madam, I still have some dry food in my bag. Otherwise, the head of the household and I won't go to eat." Ling said after a moment of hesitation.

"How can this be possible! The meal should be hot. We have the conditions to do so." Shen Ping interrupted her.

"Madam is right. It's so cold, so we should eat something hot." Liang Fu said to Ling.

Ling glared at Liang Fu, blaming him for being too talkative.

Liang Fu looked at his wife's blaming eyes and suddenly felt puzzled, as if he had done nothing wrong.

"Let's go!"

Shen Ping said this, turned around and went downstairs, and the group followed her.

"Old woman, let's go!" Seeing that Ling didn't move, Liang Fu urged.

Ling hesitated for a moment, but still followed.

Now the couple no longer dress like old people, but have returned to their original attire. They are both in their 40s.

When stepping onto this land again, Ling still felt a little nervous. He had never shown his true face to anyone before, and now he felt uncomfortable without the mask on his face.

Especially from the moment she stepped on this land, she always felt uncomfortable and insecure. Shen Ping suggested going downstairs to eat, but she was somewhat resistant.

But she knew that she would have to face it sooner or later.

"Madam Shen, did you sleep well last night?"

Seeing Shen Ping and her group coming down the stairs, Shopkeeper Li went to greet them.

He could see that, except for Shen Ping and the other boy, the others were probably servants of Madam Shen, and they were probably from other places.

Shen Ping nodded: "Very good, Shopkeeper Li, what do you have to eat?"

"We have wontons, steamed buns, steamed buns, pancakes, dumplings, corn porridge, brown rice porridge, and steamed corn bread for breakfast. Which one would you like to eat, Madam Shen?"

Shopkeeper Li led Shen Ping and her group into the large hall next door, and told the waiter nearby to greet them well. Shopkeeper Li then walked back to the counter.

Shen Ping ordered a few bowls of wontons and some steamed buns, and also fried a few side dishes.

"Okay! Madam, please wait a moment." The waiter took the menu and went to the kitchen.

Shen Ping then looked at the restaurant carefully. This restaurant was also open to the public. There were about ten to twenty tables. It was the morning market time, so there were quite a lot of people, and about 20% of the seats were full.

Many people were wearing silk and satin, both men and women, but it seemed that most of them were men.

At a table not far from Shen Ping, there were several men in their 40s, chatting happily with their voices high.

One of the tall and thin men laughed loudly at the short and fat man in a navy blue satin robe next to him and said, "Brother Liang, congratulations, in a few days, you will become the uncle of the Tenth Prince.

It is said that your niece is about to become a phoenix and become the tenth wife, hahaha..."

The short and fat man also laughed out loud: "That's right, my niece is really hardworking. She found a prince son-in-law for my sister. When the time comes, I will have a good drink when they get married."

The conversation between the two people successfully attracted Shen Ping's attention. She wondered if the Tenth Prince they were talking about was Shenyang.

"Madam, the dishes you ordered are here!" The waiter came up with the dishes.

While the waiter was putting the dishes on the table, Shen Ping pointed at the short and fat man at the table and asked the waiter in a low voice: "Waiter, who is that man talking?"

The waiter glanced in the direction Shen Ping pointed and said with a smile, "Madam, you are from another place, right? That is Mr. Liang Shan, the brother-in-law of Grand Minister of Agriculture Xia Dong. He has opened several grain and oil shops in the capital, and his business is booming!"

"From what they said, is there some big happy event in the capital? Who is going to marry the prince?" Shen Ping continued to hint at it.

"That's right!" Hearing this, the waiter also became excited, and said with great joy: "Madam, you don't know? In two days, the daughter of the Minister of Agriculture will marry the Tenth Prince~"

"Nonsense! The Tenth Prince has married our young lady!" Cuihong felt something was wrong and interrupted the waiter.

Shen Ping tugged at Cuihong's sleeve, glared at her and winked at her. Cuihong saw that Shen Ping's face was not right and quickly shut her mouth.

The waiter was talking excitedly and didn't pay attention to what Cuihong said. He was still talking to himself: "Madam, it is said that Miss Ma Mei Ma, the daughter of the Minister of Agriculture, is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The emperor personally arranged the marriage! This has become a good story."

The waiter became more and more excited as he spoke, telling him everything he knew, and he looked so happy, as if he were getting married.

"Okay! You can go down." Shen Ping waved at him.

If you don't let him go, the food on the table will be covered with his saliva.

After hearing the news, Shen Ping lost her appetite. She had previously heard that Shen Yang was unwilling to marry Miss Ma.

It was precisely because he was unwilling to marry Miss Ma that he was thrown into jail. But now, how come the news has changed again? It actually became that Shenyang wants to marry Miss Ma.

Cuihong and Tiechui looked at each other, and seeing Shen Ping's ashen face, they dared not breathe.

The Lings and Cui Feng didn't know the cause and effect of the incident. To them, it was not important. However, they saw that Shen Ping seemed to be very concerned about this matter, which made them curious.

Xu Feng's face was also full of anger: "Madam Shen, what is going on? No, I have to go and ask." As he said that, Xu Feng stood up and wanted to go to the next table to ask, but was stopped by Shen Ping.

"Feng'er, don't do anything rash. Hurry up and eat breakfast first." As he said that, he pushed her back onto the stool.

"Come on, everyone, eat first." Shen Ping greeted everyone with an expressionless face.

Everyone had their own thoughts during breakfast. Ling could hear that the Tenth Prince was probably having some kind of relationship with Madam Shen. She just heard from Cuihong that the Second Miss was married to this prince.

If what Cuihong said was true and if my guess was correct, then this Tenth Prince was my lady's son-in-law.

Thinking of this, Ling couldn't help but be shocked. This sounded so confusing. Since the Tenth Prince was already married, why did he marry the daughter of the Grand Minister of Agriculture?

It seems that this lady Shen's trip is not just to bring the princess to Beijing to recognize her relatives. It seems that this lady Shen is not simple either.
