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

The Hundred Flowers Banquet was held in the back garden of the *** Mansion.

Flowers are in full bloom and the garden is full of fragrance.

There is also an artificial lake in the park, with an octagonal pavilion standing in the lake, connected to the lake by a long covered bridge.

Only the ladies and wives of various families were invited to this banquet. There was no need for men and women to sit at separate tables. The ladies gathered together to chat, while the girls gathered in groups of three or five to enjoy the scenery in the garden, or play small games such as tossing pots and counting beads.

In the previous life, *** arranged for Xiao Qian to go through this garden on the pretext of paying his respects to her.

But in this life, Xiao Qian did not appear.

After meeting the lady, while she was talking to the ladies, the other girls went to talk to their playmates.

Shen Nanzhi's mother was not in good health. Even if she returned to Beijing, she would stay at home most of the time and rarely attend banquets outside.

Originally, the eldest aunt was supposed to accompany Shen Nanzhi and Jiang Yanran to the banquet today, but she caught a cold and had a high fever in the middle of the night yesterday. The other aunts happened to be busy with their own things and could not spare the time, so only Shen Nanzhi and Jiang Yanran attended the banquet today.

When they walked together, it was hard not to attract everyone's attention with such looks.

The ladies from aristocratic families who attended the banquet were basically familiar faces, so the sudden intrusion of two unfamiliar faces naturally attracted a lot of attention.

What's more, Jiang Yanran's outfit today was really eye-catching.

She had found out the purpose of the Queen's Hundred Flowers Banquet long in advance. In addition, she had seen the Seventh Prince's elegance and grace in the Shen Mansion two days ago, so she was determined to outshine all the other beauties this time.

Today she was wearing a dazzling scarlet gauze dress and the red agate and coral headpiece that she had asked Shen Nanzhi for before.

Looking at the beautiful girls in the garden, I can see her at a glance.

Shen Nanzhi is different. She strives to be low-key, not make mistakes, and not stand out.

So, today she only wore a light green double-breasted skirt and her jewelry was mainly simple and elegant.

Even so, she was not outdone in the slightest when standing in front of Jiang Yanran who was dressed in a gorgeous outfit.

In fact, because of her simple and elegant appearance, Jiang Yanran seemed a bit more vulgar.

Many people were staring at them and whispering, but Jiang Yanran had no time to care about these things. Since entering the yard, her eyes had been darting everywhere, fearing that she would miss the Seventh Prince.

Seeing that the Hundred Flowers Banquet was halfway through and there was still no sign of Xiao Qian'an, Jiang Yanran became a little impatient and was just about to find an excuse to leave Shen Nanzhi.

Shen Nanzhi happened to raise her hand and rub her temple, pretending to be tired and said: "Sister, I feel a little dizzy. I think I didn't get enough rest last night."

Hearing this, Jiang Yanran was delighted, but she looked concerned and said, "I just heard from the maid that there is a quiet room behind the garden for guests to rest. Why don't you go there and rest for a while? I'll stay here. If the lady asks about it later, I'll ask for leave for you."

Shen Nanzhi said gratefully: "In that case, I'll trouble you, sister."

After saying that, she took her personal maid Qiuyue and walked towards the quiet room that Jiang Yanran mentioned.

But after turning around the corridor and leaving Jiang Yanran's sight, Shen Nanzhi turned his ankle and went directly to the courtyard opposite the quiet room.

Before I even walked in, I could already hear cheers.

"Princess Jiahe is amazing. No one can match her accuracy."

"That's right, I could barely hit two out of five, but the princess hit all of them!"

The girls were surrounding a girl in red who was in high spirits and were playing the game of tossing a pot.

The girl who was the center of attention was none other than the eldest daughter of the royal family, Princess Jiahe, Lin Lanyin.

This girl has been spoiled since she was young. She is very willful and capricious, and especially likes to compete with others.

The noble ladies in the capital were both afraid of her and flattered her.

Just as everyone was vying to flatter him, Shen Nanzhi walked aside, silently picked up three arrows, and threw them casually. There were three muffled clangs, and the three arrow feathers fell steadily into the pot, very easily.

The girls who had just been chattering around Princess Jiahe were stunned.

Even the arrogant Lin Lanyin couldn't help but turn around and look at Shen Nanzhi.

"You're good."

She raised her chin, "Let's compete."

Without waiting for Shen Nanzhi to speak, Lin Lanyin took the quiver handed to her by the maid beside her, and imitated Shen Nanzhi, grabbed three arrows and threw them out. Also, three arrows hit the target, which caused a burst of admiration.

Lin Lanyin looked at Shen Nanzhi with pride and added another arrow feather, making a total of four this time. Unfortunately, one of the arrows hit the mouth of the pot. She was unwilling to give up and tried again before she succeeded.

"it's your turn."

Lin Lanyin looked at Shen Nanzhi proudly.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi smiled, took four arrow feathers, and succeeded at once. Under Lin Lanyin's slightly surprised eyes, she added another one, and five arrow feathers fell steadily into the mouth of the pot.

This time the girls were silent, and Lin Lanyin's face looked a little ugly.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi hurriedly made up for it: "I was born in a military family and have learned riding and archery since I was young. The princess is of noble status and has been pampered. It is not fair for me to compete with the princess."

Shen Nanzhi's words undoubtedly gave Lin Lanyin a way out.

Her complexion improved a lot, and she remembered that Shen Nanzhi came from a military family. She also looked unfamiliar, so she couldn't help but ask, "Are you the girl who just returned to Beijing from the Zhenguo Mansion?"

Shen Nanzhi nodded and stepped forward to greet her: "Yes, I am your servant Shen Nanzhi, I greet Princess Jiahe."

Lin Lanyin waved her hand and asked, "You can ride and shoot? So you can also do martial arts?"

Looking at Lin Lanyin's expression, Shen Nanzhi knew that he had made the right bet.

Although Lin Lanyin had everything she wanted, there was one thing that she regretted. She had been clamoring to learn martial arts since she was a child, but as a daughter of the royal family, she was absolutely not allowed to wield swords and guns as it would lose the dignity of a royal lady.

Even horse riding was not allowed to be learned until after the age of 15, but the basics were far from the real riding and archery.

Shen Nanzhi lowered his head and said modestly: "It's just some fancy moves."

Lin Lanyin was already completely interested: "That's great, come on, accompany me to the horse farm for a walk."

Lin Lanyin happily pulled Shen Nanzhi along, leaving all the noble ladies behind.

When they arrived at the stable and were choosing horses, Lin Lanyin saw Shen Nanzhi taking out the sachet and about to hang it around her waist. There was a very delicate and special sword tassel hooked on the sachet, which made Lin Lanyin take a closer look.

Seeing this, Shen Nanzhi hurried forward, took out the sachet and handed it to Lin Lanyin.

Shen Nanzhi had wrapped herself in a handkerchief before, and the spices inside did not affect Shen Nanzhi.

As soon as I opened it, the fragrance filled my nose.

"There are too many mosquitoes, rats and ants in the stable. Fortunately, my sister prepared a sachet for me. She said it can not only refresh the mind, but also prevent insects. Princess, you can wear it first."

Lin Lanyin took it and sniffed it. She, who always looked down on others, couldn't help but praise, "It tastes good. Your sister is thoughtful."

She actually particularly liked the sword tassel on it.

And that was exactly what Shen Nanzhi had guessed her preference and put it up there specifically to attract her attention.

But on the surface, Shen Nanzhi praised sincerely: "Yes, my sister is kind and kind-hearted. She knows that I have always admired the princess and will probably follow the princess to the racecourse. She prepared it for me in advance. I didn't expect that I would actually use it."

Shen Nanzhi looked grateful and praised Jiang Yanran almost to the sky. Lin Lanyin didn't go to the garden just now, so she didn't see Jiang Yanran. When she heard Shen Nanzhi mention her, Lin Lanyin couldn't help but become more curious about her sister.

The two men ran two laps and were sweating all over.

Unlike other noble ladies who always gave in to her and praised her, Shen Nanzhi in front of her should have just returned to Beijing. She was not bound or tempered by the many rules in the capital, so she was a straightforward person who didn't know the ways of the world. She also made Lin Lanyin use her all, and even if she lost, she lost happily.

But she is more pleasing to the eye than those hypocritical noble ladies.

It was a pity that for some reason she lost her energy after a short while. However, she was in high spirits at the moment and was unwilling to give up. She immediately squeezed the horse's belly, swung the reins, and was about to overtake Shen Nanzhi.

But she suddenly felt weak under her feet, and her body, which was originally diving forward, staggered and was thrown out by the horse.

"The princess!"

The slaves and maids present screamed in fear, and some of the timid ones collapsed on the ground.

If anything happens to Princess Jiahe, none of the servants present will survive.

It happened in a flash. Seeing that Lin Lanyin was about to fall heavily to the ground after being thrown out, Shen Nanzhi, who was originally racing with her and was closest to her, suddenly stepped onto the horse's back, turned over, and rushed directly to Lin Lanyin. Before she fell to the ground, he caught her trembling body steadily.

"The county lord."

Shen Nanzhi looked at Lin Lanyin, whose face was as pale as paper, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Lin Lanyin came back to her senses after landing on the ground. She looked at Shen Nanzhi with a little more gratitude in her eyes: "I'm fine, but, it's strange..."

Lin Lanyin's legs were still a little weak at this time, and she barely made it to the pavilion nearby with the help of Shen Nanzhi.

"Go call the doctor, and don't make any noise yet."

She is a daughter of the royal family after all. Even if she is a bit spoiled and willful, how could she not be wary of others?
