The daughter of the emperor is reborn to be beautiful and cool, and the King of Zhenbei loves her wi

At this time in her previous life, Shen Nanzhi had suffered a great blow from the return of the Princess. She was in low spirits and had no intention of participating in the Flower Festival.

Therefore, A'niang never told her about her uncle and Wen Lanyuan.

Only after his uncle got into trouble did Shen Nanzhi hear his mother inadvertently sigh: If he had gone to Wanbao Tower to keep the appointment, A Yuan might not have gotten into trouble, and the two of them would not have come to this point.

Shen Nanzhi wanted to ask more about the appointment at Wanbao Tower and who Ayuan was, but A'niang shook her head and said: The person is gone, there is no point in saying anything.

Now it seems that the "A Yuan" that An Niang mentioned at that time was the third lady of the Yong'an Earl's Mansion, Wen Lanyuan.

As for the "appointment at Wanbao Tower", could it be an invitation to this Flower Festival?

If you think about it this way, it is very possible!

If what A-niang said now was true, the plan was to get the two engaged after the Flower Festival, but in the previous life, neither family had engaged until Uncle Qiuwei got into trouble a month later, and no one mentioned the matter again, not even Shen Nanzhi knew about it. This meant that something went wrong during the Flower Festival, which led to the cancellation of the engagement.

No wonder Shen Nanzhi always felt that his uncle was in a low mood and not as energetic as before during that period. When he asked him about it, he just said it was due to the busy official business of the Dali Temple. Shen Nanzhi didn't think much about it at the time.

"Zhizhi, Zhizhi?"

Seeing Shen Nanzhi in a daze, Shen Yanxin asked with concern: "What's wrong with you?"

A'niang already has enough troubles, and she still needs time to digest the Jiang family's affairs. Before that, Shen Nanzhi doesn't want to make things worse for her, and these are just her guesses, and she herself has no clue now.

"Mother, I'm fine. I was just thinking about what gift to give to my future aunt-in-law."

Not wanting her mother to notice anything, Shen Nanzhi waved her hand and said, "I'll go ask my uncle right now. Mother, you take a good rest."

Shen Yanxin nodded and let her go about her business with peace of mind.

Shen Nanzhi stopped bothering her. After leaving Jinxiu Garden, she went straight to her uncle's Qingsong Courtyard.

Although the household expenses in the mansion are managed by my aunt, my uncle is in charge of all external affairs and interpersonal relationships of the Zhenguo Mansion.

He has been completely devoted to the Dali Temple these days, so naturally a lot of things have piled up in the mansion. Shen Nanzhi only found out when she went there that after meeting her the day before yesterday, her uncle went back to the study and was busy until late at night. He went to the Dali Temple early yesterday morning to report for duty and has not returned yet.

Although he had left a message in advance saying that he would take a day off tomorrow, seeing how busy he was, Shen Nanzhi even began to suspect that the reason he did not keep the appointment in his previous life was because he was held up by something in the Dali Temple.

Since his uncle was not at home, Shen Nanzhi could only seek help from Miss Wen San.

She asked Qiuyue to go to the Yong'an Earl's Mansion in person and invite her to go boating on the lake in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, Miss Wen San followed her mother to the Lingyun Temple outside the city to burn incense early in the morning and would not be back until the next afternoon.

Although according to A'niang's words in her previous life, the incident with Miss Wen San happened because her uncle did not show up for the appointment, and the problem should have occurred on the day of the Flower Festival instead of before, but Shen Nanzhi was afraid of any omissions, so she sent her secret guards Zhuifeng and Zhuyue to Lingyun Temple and asked them to secretly guard Miss Wen San for the next two days to prevent any accidents.

The next morning, Shen Nanzhi went to see her mother first. Seeing that her mother looked much better, she felt relieved and went to look for her uncle.

My uncle still didn’t come back last night.

Shen Nanzhi decided to go directly to the Dali Temple to find someone.

No matter how busy he is, he will always find time to meet us.

When she went out and got on the carriage, Shen Nanzhi saw from afar the servant at the gate of Jiang's house looking at her curiously. When he saw her looking over, he quickly shrank back into the house and even closed the door.

I guess it was an order from her grandmother Zhao that if she came to visit, she must be given a good beating.

This was all she had in mind. Before that scumbag father Jiang Shiyan returned to Beijing, the Jiang family probably wouldn't dare to do anything rash, so Shen Nanzhi didn't bother to care.

The carriage passed through Zhuque Street and headed south. Half an hour later, it stopped in front of the Dali Temple.

Shen Nanzhi asked Ah Si to hand over the invitation with the badge of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, and only then did she know that her uncle was out on business and was not in the Dali Temple. As for where he had gone and when he would be back, these were the secrets of the Dali Temple and outsiders were not allowed to know.

Standing at the bluestone steps of the Dali Temple, looking at the solemn and majestic stone lions at the door, Shen Nanzhi felt a little uneasy.

Could it be that because of this business trip, my uncle didn't make it back to keep the appointment?

But what is the situation with Miss Wen San?

Her little uncle is such a good man, of course he deserves a good marriage. Shen Nanzhi wants them to know and stay together in this life.

She was lost in thought when she looked up and saw a carriage coming out of the corner gate of the Dali Temple. The driver was Mo Yi, a close follower of Zhenbei King Xiao Chuyun.

The other party also saw her and greeted her from a distance, "Miss Shen."

Since it’s Mo Yi, then the person in the carriage… is the King of Zhenbei, Xiao Chuyun?

Shen Nanzhi nodded: "What is Brother Mo Yi doing here?"

Mo Yi tightened the reins, stopped the carriage, and said politely to Shen Nanzhi: "My prince has recently been assigned to the Dali Temple, but Miss Shen is here... Are you here to see Master Shen?"

As soon as the voice fell, Qiuyue hurriedly leaned over to Shen Nanzhi's ear and whispered, "Miss, I followed your instructions last night to go to Qingsong Court to find the prince, and happened to meet Zhou Shun who came back to get something for the prince. He said that the emperor had just sent the King of Zhenbei to take over the Dali Temple."

Shen Nanzhi suddenly realized that she had no idea that Xiao Chuyun also worked in the Dali Temple and was her uncle's immediate superior.

Thinking about how she had just asked Mo Yi what he was doing here, it was really embarrassing.

This is their territory. Isn't it normal for them to be here?

Shen Nanzhi forced a smile and said, "Yes, but I came at an unfortunate time. My uncle is out on a business trip."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the curtain of the carriage being lifted up from the inside by a hand.

The hand had long knuckles, distinct joints, and thin calluses at the base of the thumb. It was clearly the strong and powerful hand of a martial artist, but now it looked a bit weak.

As the car curtain was lifted, that handsome and flawless face was revealed.

The spring sunshine shone through the car curtain onto his cheek, making his already pale and sickly face look even more frail.

"Your Majesty."

Shen Nanzhi hurried forward to greet him, but heard Xiao Chuyun say in a gentle voice: "Miss Shen, you don't have to be polite."

His eyes fell on Shen Nanzhi's face, and his expression was gentle and polite, not making people feel uncomfortable or abrupt at all.

"Prince Shen will not be back until tomorrow morning at the earliest. If Miss Shen has any urgent matters, I can send someone to write to him."

Since it was an official mission, Shen Nanzhi naturally couldn't call him back without a good reason.

She shook her head: "I have some personal matters to discuss with my uncle. It's not too late to talk to him tomorrow when he comes back."

My uncle Tongwen Sanxiao's invitation is in the evening, so we should be able to make it.

If worst comes to worst, I will go to the appointment in person on behalf of my uncle.

On the opposite carriage, Xiao Chuyun nodded and was about to lower the curtain when he heard Mo Yi remind him, "By the way, Master, since Miss Shen happens to be here too, can't we just go there together?"

Shen Nanzhi didn't expect that they had their own things to do here, and was very puzzled: Where are we going together?
