Chapter 717 The delicate little white flower that dreams of flying onto the branch 30
Before he knew it, Shen Yanqing in the room began to teach Azhi to play the guzheng.
Although Shen Yanqing's family is in poverty now, when he was rich, Shen Yanqing knew everything and was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
In order to win Azhi's heart as soon as possible, Shen Yanqing really expresses himself in various unintentional ways.
Last time he played chess with Azhi and asked Azhi to learn how to play chess from him.
This time he started to show off his ability to play the guzheng, which led Azhi to learn guzheng from him again.
But he didn't expect that Azhi was also gifted. As long as she came into contact with something, she could learn it well within three days.
For example, when learning the guzheng this time, Azhi got the hang of it very quickly and could play it simply in just one hour.
This shocked Shen Yanqing.
This was also the case when Azhi learned other things before. He even learned reading very quickly and could apply what he learned to other situations.
Shen Yanqing couldn't help but sigh, "You are truly the most intelligent woman I have ever met. You were like this when you were learning Go a few days ago, and you are still learning the Guzheng now. If you were a man, you might be much better than me."
This compliment came out of his mouth, and Shen Yanqing was stunned. He didn't expect that he was praising Azhi.
He clearly looked down on women of her background, so why would he praise her so sincerely?
Shen Yanqing's eyes were a little complicated.
Azhi twisted her handkerchief and smiled slightly.
"Mr. Shen praising me like this really makes me feel a little embarrassed."
As Shen Yanqing left.
Nanchen walked into the room, looked at Ah Zhi, and asked, "Why do you smile at everyone else, but won't even glance at me? Why?"
"Is the prince confused? His words are a bit strange, and I really don't understand."
Azhi stroked the strings of the zither without even looking up, completely ignoring Nanchen, which made Nanchen feel extremely sad.
He smiled to himself.
"If you want wealth and glory, why don't you choose me? Compared to Meng Huaijin's family background, as the prince of Hengwang, am I not more suitable? Why don't you look up at me, young lady?"
When Nanchen said this, there was even a hint of grievance in his words.
Azhi still didn't look up.
"It seems that you have recovered, and you speak with full energy. My temple is too small to accommodate a statue like you. Please come home soon."
Without giving Nanchen a chance to continue speaking, Azhi actually stood up and walked towards the inner room.
Yu'er stepped forward and stood in front of the screen.
"The young lady needs to rest, so please go back, young master."
Reluctant, Nanchen turned and left.
Yu'er walked in and asked Ah Zhi in confusion, "Why do you treat the prince like this? Didn't you say last time that Prince Heng was more suitable than Meng Huaijin? Nan Chaochao is a big trouble."
Ah Zhi, who was reading a book, said calmly, "It's cheap to accept anyone who comes. The initial novelty won't wear off, but after a while, suspicion might arise. Nanchen is indeed suitable, but I want a lifelong love, so naturally I have to plan carefully."
"My slave understands."
Nanchen knew that he should go back.
During this period, King Heng sent many people to look for his whereabouts. If he continued to hide outside and did not go back, King Heng might become crazy and then make sure whether he died outside.
Nanchen left under the cover of night, but before leaving he stared blankly in the direction of Azhi's yard.
"My Lord, it's getting late. We should leave quickly. If the carriage stays here for too long, it might be seen by others around here."
"Let's go."
The next morning, Xiao Si came running over in a hurry.
"Miss, it's bad. That man is missing. I went there this morning with some medicine, but there was no one in the room. Could he have just left without saying goodbye?"
Xiao Si and Nan Chen have been getting along quite well these days. After all, they were both rescued by A Zhi, and Xiao Si believes that Nan Chen will be as grateful as he is.
"I guess he's gone. No problem. This way we have one less pair of chopsticks and a portion of food."
Unexpectedly, Xiao Si pouted and said in displeasure, "What an ungrateful person! He just left without a word. The girl was so kind as to save his life, and this is how he repays her? Humph."
Yu'er pinched Xiao Si's face and said, "Okay, stop complaining. The girl hasn't said anything yet. It just saves a mouthful of food. Why don't you feel sorry for the girl and spend the money?"
"Sister Yu'er, please stop pinching me. My face is almost going to become a flatbread. It hurts so much. Ouch."
Ever since Xizhu moved in to live with the old lady, he has been living a life like a god.
The old lady wanted to protect her like the apple of her eye.
Nan Chaochao originally thought that if Meng Huaijin came to her yard and stayed for a few days, the two of them could reconcile, but she didn't expect that Meng Huaijin would fall asleep as soon as he came to her yard.
He even came after finishing his meal, which made Nan Chaochao feel very aggrieved.
King Jing had a concubine, Aunt Li, who gave birth to a daughter named Nan Xinyue.
Nan Chaochao and Nan Xinyue are only half a year apart in age. Since the two children are of similar age, they have always liked to argue with each other since they were young.
But Nan Xinyue couldn't compare to Nan Chaochao. After all, she was a princess. As a concubine, Nan Xinyue had to be humble.
However, when it comes to choosing a marriage partner, Nan Xinyue is much better than Nan Chaochao.
Aunt Li was favored and often whispered in King Jing's ear to arrange a good marriage for her daughter.
The eldest son of Duke Rong.
Nan Xinyue gave birth to a son in the first year of her marriage, twin daughters the following year, and just gave birth to her youngest son this year.
Whenever they met, she would stab Nan Chaochao in the heart, either mentioning her son or her daughter, and by the way, she would also care about why Nan Chaochao's belly was not moving.
This almost made Nan Chaochao angry to death.
Now that the Xizhu incident has happened again, Nan Chaochao forced a smile in front of Nan Xinyue, then turned around and threw herself into Princess Jing's arms and cried.
Princess Jing did love her daughter, but Nan Chaochao's insistence on marrying Meng Huaijin had already made King Jing very dissatisfied, so he asked Princess Jing to mind her own business.
Nan Chaochao mentioned the matter of Meng Huaijin taking a concubine, but Princess Jing did not speak up for her daughter.
It is normal to have three wives and four concubines. After all, Nan Chaochao has been married for several years and there is still no sign of pregnancy.
This concubine is the right thing to do
She comforted her with a few words, but Nan Chaochao thought that Princess Jing no longer loved her, so she got angry and went back to the general's mansion.
Thinking of Xizhu holding her still-unbulging belly, Nan Chaochao gritted her teeth and said to Nanny Lin, "Nanny, go buy me something."
"What does the princess want to buy?"
When Nan Chaochao asked her to buy something to liven up the atmosphere, Nanny Lin almost dropped her jaw in shock.
"How can the princess use such a thing?"
"Why not? And the fertility pills that my mother gave me, you should use them on me too. I didn't want to use them before, but now I have to."
As early as a year ago, Princess Jing gave Nan Chaochao a fertility pill.
This is a priceless treasure, but Nan Chaochao disdains it.
She believed that she could definitely win Meng Huaijin's heart and was unwilling to take fertility pills.
Now she is worried that Xi Zhu will affect her status, and she actually proposed to take fertility pills and use things to enhance her sexual pleasure.
No matter how Nanny Lin tried to dissuade her, Nan Chaochao was determined to use these things.
"Mammy, my mother doesn't want to take care of me today. Only you can help me. If you are kind to me, you must help me."
Faced with Nan Chaochao's pleading eyes, Nanny Lin nodded softly.
In the evening, when Meng Huaijin came to Nan Chaochao's room, he smelled a fragrance.
Normally, the spices used in the Southern Dynasty's morning rituals tended to be more elegant, but today's incense had a sweet fragrance.
Meng Huaijin frowned slightly but said nothing. After all, as promised, he only had one night left to finish.
So he lay on the bed, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep, but he didn't expect that in the middle of the night he would feel hot all over, and at this moment a touch of coolness fell into his arms.
Things happened naturally. The next morning, Meng Huaijin pushed Nan Chaochao away and left with a dark face.
Nan Chaochao leaned on the bed and cried bitterly.
Shuangxi is a know-it-all, and when he found out about Nan Chaochao's affairs, he told Xizhu.
Xizhu's appetite is growing bigger and bigger. Now, relying on what's in her stomach, she actually wants to become Meng Huaijin's legal wife.
Thinking that no matter how much Meng Huaijin liked Azhi, he still couldn't shake Nan Chaochao's position, Xizhu thought about bringing Nan Chaochao down first.
You know, Azhi is too naive, and it's easy to deal with her.
Xizhu immediately asked Shuangxi to investigate Nan Chaochao's affairs.
With Azhi helping Xizhu outside, the fact that Nanny Lin bought aphrodisiacs was soon discovered, and Xizhu told the old lady immediately.
"That aphrodisiac is, after all, a drug, and it comes from a dirty place. I don't know what's in it, and whether it's clean or not. I really can't imagine using such a dirty thing on the general."
The old lady's face looked very ugly.
She slammed her hand on the table and angrily said, "She really did this? She actually resorted to trickery on Huai Jin?"
Xi Zhu nodded with a worried look on his face.
"I noticed something was wrong and immediately checked everything out. Which door did Nanny Lin leave from, when did she leave, how long did she stay at that place to buy the entertainment? It's all written down on this piece of paper. I've found the contact person, and all the information will be clear once the old lady investigates personally."
For the sake of her son's health, the old lady immediately sent someone out to check.
She actually found out, and that same day she brought her men to the main courtyard in a threatening manner.
Nan Chaochao was already feeling guilty, and faced with the old lady's questioning, hesitant and unable to explain clearly.
This made the old lady even angrier.
She pointed at Nan Chaochao's nose and said angrily, "You are a princess, yet you act like this. You are truly shameless. You actually used something unclean. Huaijin is your husband. Do you want to harm him?"
"No, I don't know what mother meant..."
"You don't know? Are you still pretending to be stupid?"
The old lady smashed the object in her hand on Nan Chaochao's face and asked, "Look carefully, what on earth is this? Is it something for entertainment or something from a brothel? You actually used it on Huaijin. Aren't you afraid of hurting Huaijin's body?"
"Don't think you can get away with it just by denying it. I've had someone investigate. It was Nanny Lin, your neighbor, who bought the medicine. If it wasn't you who ordered it, do you think Nanny Lin would dare to act on her own?"
