After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

It was not until Mrs. Lin asked her, "Why haven't you seen Miss Shen for a long time?" that Lin Ruozhan suddenly realized that she had not seen Ning'er since the moment she followed her mother into the palace.

She managed to pull her attention away from her chaotic thoughts, looked around, and called Guiyun again: "Where is Miss Shen? Who followed her? Why did she disappear for no reason?"

Guiyun and Songluo exchanged surprised glances, and hurriedly replied with some embarrassment: "Miss, Miss Shen didn't arrange for anyone to follow..."

Lin Ruozhen's eyes widened and he gently scolded, "How can you serve me so rudely?"

Gui Yun hurriedly said, "Because Miss Shen has always been with you, I thought that the servants would serve the two girls together, so I didn't make any special arrangements..."

Madam Lin whispered, "How foolish! The young lady has something on her mind and can't think of it for a moment. Can you servants not think of it? If we treat guests like this, I don't know what others will say about our Lin family when they go back."

Lin Ruozhen said anxiously: "Why are you still standing there? Go and look around. She's a good girl, don't lose her."

Madam Lin frowned, "We are in the temple, so we are not afraid of getting lost for the time being," she said tactfully, "I am just afraid that Miss Shen is young and ignorant, and if she is not careful and bumps into someone of honor, it will be a disaster."

They, along with Princess Rui and others, waited in this side hall for a long time, but did not receive a summons from His Majesty.

Out of fear of the might of heaven, no one dared to make random inquiries. No matter how anxious they were, they had to sit still and suppress their emotions in the hall.

Seeing that the mother and daughter of the Lin family were discussing something in a low voice, and before Princess Rui spoke, Madam Zhou said, "Madam Lin, what happened?"

Madam Lin quickly stopped talking and lowered her eyebrows and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the servants were not careful and delayed things a little."

Princess Rui's gaze followed suit. The longer she waited, the more uneasy she became. The joy and pride she had felt when she learned that her son would accompany the emperor had long since worn away in this long wait.

To distract herself, she asked, "What happened? Is it serious? Madam Lin, why don't you tell me?"

When the princess asked this, Madam Lin had to stand up and answer, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. It's not a big deal. I dare not disturb your peace. It's just that Miss Shen, who is good friends with Zhan'er, went out alone. The servants were careless and didn't ask the reason clearly, so I asked a few more questions."

Miss Shen...Princess Rui took a while to realize who this was referring to. Her eyebrows jumped and she immediately thought of the Begonia pendant she was wearing.

Originally, she suspected that it was just a jade pendant of a very similar shape and that she had made a mistake due to her dazzled eyesight. But when she suddenly heard Mrs. Lin's words, her heart suddenly began to beat fast for unknown reasons.

She asked hurriedly, "Why did she go out when she was fine? When did it happen? Could it be that she was alone?"

The mother and daughter of the Lin family looked at each other, unable to say a word. They did not expect that the princess would suddenly care about a little girl and ask such detailed questions, which were all questions they could not answer.

Just as the two were worrying about how to deal with it, there was a sudden noise outside the door, and everyone was excited. But unexpectedly, the curtain moved slightly, and two young men in gorgeous clothes and brocade clothes came out.

Everyone was startled at first, and then said happily: "Sir, the second young master is here."

Princess Rui extended her hand to exempt them from the formalities and asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Does His Majesty have any instructions?"

Chu Zheng frowned and said, "Mother, the emperor originally summoned us to accompany him, but he left in a hurry when he was halfway through asking questions. My second brother and I did not dare to move, so we waited in the palace until a moment ago, when we received a reminder from Eunuch Wu. He said that the emperor had important matters to attend to and had no time to see us again, so we did not need to wait any longer, and asked mother not to wait any longer either."

Princess Rui's heart trembled when she heard this, and she asked hurriedly, "But your answers were inappropriate, causing His Majesty to be unhappy?"

Chu Zheng frowned, and Chu Yue quickly replied, "Don't worry, mother. When His Majesty left, there was a hint of smile between his eyebrows, and he looked very happy. I think it was because of something else."

As he spoke, he unconsciously noticed a bright-looking girl with black hair sitting below him. She was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old. She was wearing a cherry red dress with a lotus pattern on the front. She had a pair of golden bracelets inlaid with gems, and her eyebrows were emerald, her eyes were long, and her skin was as white as snow.

He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this must be the eldest daughter of the Lin family that the princess had chosen for him.

This moment of daze was noticed by others. Mrs. Zhou laughed and said, "It's incredible, sister, look, our brother Yue is stunned."

Princess Rui felt relieved after hearing Chu Yue's words. Seeing her sister joking like this, she smiled and said, "My brother is very tolerant, so just make a few jokes. But you are still so unsteady in front of the young lady. Be careful not to be laughed at behind her back."

After hearing this teasing, Lin Ruozhan's face turned completely red. She was already worried about Ning'er's whereabouts, but Chu Zheng and Chu Yue suddenly came unexpectedly.

Thinking back to what had happened before, she felt uneasy just thinking about the two brothers, let alone seeing two of them at the same time.

Lin Ruozhen subconsciously wanted to escape. She hurriedly bowed to Princess Rui and said, "Your Majesty, Ruozhen wants to find Miss Shen. Please excuse yourself first."

After hearing what she said, the princess couldn't help but think wildly. She felt that this matter was of great importance, so she ordered her son: "Zheng'er, take someone to ask the abbot of the temple if anyone has ever met Miss Shen? Maybe she lingered in the temple and didn't want to leave..."

Chu Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized why His Majesty left without saying goodbye. He was not like the unconscious Lin Ruozhen, but he clearly saw how His Majesty interacted with the girl, so he naturally understood who this Miss Shen was.

Chu Zheng smiled bitterly. Since she was not in the palace, she must be with the emperor. However, this clearly could not be known to others.

He could only helplessly say: "Please sit down, mother and the ladies. I will report back to you after I have found out everything."

Chu Zheng's eyes swept across Lin Ruozhan's face, and he left. He thought that Miss Lin would not feel so awkward.

Princess Rui nodded and said, "Go ahead." But she did not allow Lin Ruozhan to go out.

Lin Ruozhan had no choice but to sit back next to her mother, lowering her head and obediently playing the role of a shy lady.

Chu Zheng left the side hall and headed straight for the main hall. After walking around a few times, he finally saw something in front of him. He found Wu Shilu, clasped his fists and bowed, "Grand Steward."

Wu Shilu narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Hey, why is the prince here again?"

Chu Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry to have asked the butler to make a fool of himself. Mrs. Lin saw that Miss Shen, who came with her, was gone, and she is now anxiously looking for someone."

Wu Shilu looked up at the sun and sneered, "It's been so long, and you finally remembered to look for me? If Master Ning had really been alone until now, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't even know how to write the word death."

Chu Zheng's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He kept apologizing, "We are ignorant and rude. We have offended the young lady. Please forgive us, eunuch."

Wu Shilu waved his whisk and said in a yin-yang tone, "Oh, you are a noble prince, and I, as a servant, cannot deserve your courtesy."

"You should go back and tell them that our girl has something to do and has been taken back to the mansion. There is no need for the ladies to worry about her."
