The uncle borrowed some merits, and the princess drew the talisman fiercely

Shen Xiangjun stood in the yard, feeling cold all over.

My father used to believe in her, and according to his plan, it would be good for him if she married the Prince of Jin.

Why has it changed now?

"I asked you to follow my father before. Did anything happen?" Shen Xiangjun took a deep breath and said to her personal maid Xianglian.

Xianglian has a very good relationship with an attendant of Prime Minister Shen. In fact, there is a little ambiguity between the two of them.

However, Prime Minister Shen has always been cautious in his actions and generally does not act recklessly. If he wants to talk to someone, he will send his attendants away. If you are not his confidant, it is difficult to hear what he says.

Xianglian followed for quite some time before finally getting some results.

"Miss, the master went to the Moon-Picking Boat three days ago. Although he did not stay overnight, he did not return until curfew."

Xianglian lowered her voice. She felt a little psychologically burdened to investigate the most important master in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"And the master was in a very good mood after he came back. He even hummed a little tune in the carriage."

"Picking the Moon Boat?"

Shen Xiangjun might not have known much about Zhaiyuefang before, but ever since Jingwen made a style list last time, she knew it very well!

Because she and three prostitutes were listed on the same list, she was so angry that she cried.

She didn't want to go out and listen to other people's jokes and ridicule, for she was afraid that other people's words were very unpleasant. She had been hiding here these days and had no entertainment.

So, she also sent people to investigate these three prostitutes in detail.

"Yes, Luo Qiu, the owner of the Zhaiyue Boat, is only ranked eighth on Jingwen's list of beauties."

Xianglian felt it was a bit strange.

When it comes to the Beijing Beauty List, Shen Xiangjun becomes angry again.

"Do you know why my father went to see her?"

"I heard that the master went to watch Hai Luoqiu dance. Luoqiu danced three dances in a row."

"Just to watch the dance?"

"Correct."

Shen Xiangjun felt extremely uncomfortable. How could she be happy to hear that her father was visiting a prostitute?

What's more, Prime Minister Shen has always been known for being steady and self-controlled, loyal to the emperor and doting on his daughter. His colleagues who like to spend money on wine and women dare not ask him out for fun.

Now that he suddenly went to the place of fireworks, Shen Xiangjun found it hard to accept.

"What did Luo Qiu call my father?" Shen Xiangjun suddenly asked.

Xianglian was stunned for a moment, "Miss, I didn't ask this in detail, how about asking Hongliang to come over?"

Hong Liang is the attendant beside Prime Minister Shen.

Shen Xiangjun nodded. She had to ask for clarification. "Let him come to the backyard."

Hong Liang hurried over after a while.

"Miss, I was just packing things for the master."

Shen Xiangjun said, "Tell me in detail the process of my father's meeting with Luo Qiu. Also, tell me clearly how he and Luo Qiu addressed each other."

The prime minister's wife took her two sons to visit her parents. Originally, Shen Xiangjun should have gone with them, but she guessed that the Prince of Jin would soon return to the capital, so she found a way to push her mother away and stayed in the capital.

Now Hong Liang still thought that the young lady wanted to keep his father in check on his behalf and prevent him from living a life of debauchery outside?

So Hong Liang spoke well of Prime Minister Shen.

"That Miss Luo calls our master 'Prime Minister', and the master simply calls her Luo Qiu. After boarding the pleasure boat, the others were in another room, but the master and Miss Luo were next door. The master sat at the table and ate wine and food, while Miss Luo danced three songs in a row."

"Later, several other dancers went to dance, and the string music continued all night."

Shen Xiangjun listened and seemed to think there was nothing strange about it.

"Then did my father and Luo Qiu..." Shen Xiangjun paused, but still spoke out, "be affectionate and cuddly?"

"I haven't seen this."

Hong Liang added, "Miss, I noticed that the master was very polite when talking to Miss Luo."

But he is not the kind of patron out there who would touch the girls when he sees them, hug them and kiss them.

It seems very serious.

However, the master seemed to have given Miss Luo a gift, a box, but he didn't see what was inside.

There's no need to tell the lady this, right?

"Is Luo Qiu very beautiful?" Shen Xiangjun suddenly asked this question.

"Ms. Luo is pretty, but in terms of beauty, she is not as good as Miss Linglong and Miss Hongyu."

Xianglian also said, "Miss, Luo Qiu is only ranked eighth on the beauty list, and Linglong is ranked fourth."

Shen Xiangjun didn't look very happy.

She gets angry whenever this beauty list is mentioned.

"I asked you to help me make an appointment with the owner of Wuming Bookstore behind Jingwen. Did you manage to make an appointment?"

"Miss, I haven't seen him. His little attendant said that their master has been very busy recently."

"Let's make another appointment. I must meet him! Also, go check when Luo Qiu will get off the pleasure boat. I want to see what kind of person she is."

She even let her father stay with her for most of the day.

Not long after Hong Liang left, he hurried over and said, "Miss, the master just ordered me to deliver something to Prince Jin's Mansion!"

Go to Prince Jin’s Mansion?

Shen Xiangjun's eyes lit up.

"what to give?"

"A small wooden box, placed on the carriage."

"Let's go out and take a look!"

Shen Xiangjun went back into the room, looked in the mirror, put on some lip balm, applied some light rouge, put on a pair of earrings that were simple and elegant but suited her well, and then put on a sachet and hung it around her waist before running out the door.

The carriage was ready, she got on, and sure enough she saw a small wooden box.

"Father, are you going to give a gift to King Jin?"

She reached out and opened the small wooden box, then looked inside, which was covered with a red cloth.

When the red cloth was lifted, it turned out to be golden ingots!

Gold ingots?

There should be one thousand taels here, right?

Why did my father suddenly want to give gold ingots to King Jin?

"Miss, I can't delay any longer. I have to go to Prince Jin's Mansion immediately."

"Let's go. I'll go there myself." Shen Xiangjun couldn't understand why her father wanted to give gold to Prince Jin, but that didn't stop her from seizing this opportunity and going to Prince Jin's mansion!

She was looking forward to such an opportunity.

But after Zhou Shiyue left the court, he went straight to Huaiyuan.

Lu Zhaoling was fiddling with the porcelain figure.

Yin Yunting and Rong Jingjing sat opposite her. Yin Yunting was drawing a picture, which was the new edition of Beijing News.

This version of Beijing News portrays a little girl, Lu Zhaoling, who lives in the countryside, and all the scenes are about her being abused.

Yin Yunting wants to help her break up the engagement, and public opinion will prevail.

Rong Jingjing had a piece of dough in her hand and was carefully kneading Zheng Ying's head.

The three of them had work in their hands, but that didn't stop them from chatting actively.

"You said that this porcelain figurine was buried in the past, and you are the only one who knows where it is? I don't think so. In the countryside, the little Zhao Ling in the past might not have been so cautious. Maybe when she went out to bury something, someone followed her, but she didn't notice it."
