One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Suppressing her anger and adjusting her expression, Lifei said to the palace maid beside her: "Call Fei over. I haven't seen her for a long time, this is the perfect time for us to talk."

"Yes, Empress."

Not too long after, the young lady dressed in red walked over. She respectfully saluted him and said, "This subject's daughter, Lin Fei, pays her respects to the various esteemed ladies."

Looking at her closely, Shen Ninghua couldn't help sighing in his heart. This young lady was indeed blessed by the heavens. Her eyebrows were like a veil, and her eyes were like clear water. She had a refreshing smile on her face, and her gaze was pure and flawless, giving people a good impression of her.

Imperial Consort, this is my niece. Her father is the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, Lin Qu. This child is the only direct descendent of the family, and both father and mother are very pampered.

As she spoke, her gaze involuntarily turned towards Shen Ninghua, just in time to meet with Shen Ninghua's half-smiling, half-smiling expression. Being stared at by that pair of clear, cold, and black eyes, Lifei didn't know why, but she felt a little guilty and quickly withdrew her gaze.

Lin Fei looked in Shen Ninghua's direction, her eyes filled with curiosity. "Your daughter has seen Princess Yi. I've long heard of her beauty. Now that I've seen her, I know that the rumors are far from enough to describe her appearance."

Facing a pure smiling face, Shen Ninghua did not appear to be too indifferent. Smiling, he said, "It's just a false reputation, Miss Lin is also not bad."

Lin Fei's face suddenly turned red, and her fingers subconsciously gripped the silk handkerchief as she said in an extremely embarrassed tone, "You're too kind. Elder Sister Wangfei, you're flattering me." As soon as she spoke, she hastened to explain. "This subject's daughter really felt that wangfei was exceptionally close, so she made a slip of the tongue. I hope wangfei won't mind."

The moment she said those words, the pavilion immediately became silent.

She had unintentionally met Baili Junyi before, and had even been grieving for him for a long time after he had become her consort. Who would have thought that he would suddenly become her prince, and in that case, she would have a chance. She was the Lin Clan's second concubine, and was more than enough to become the prince's concubine.

The words he said a moment ago were only spoken after thinking about it for a long time. Thinking about it, a girl with a cheerful personality couldn't help but call Shen Ninghua 'elder sister' when she saw how intimate Shen Ninghua was.

In the future, she could use this relationship to get close to Baili Qingyuan. If Shen Ninghua was angered on the spot, she would seem especially heartless and petty. This way, she could also sow discord between Shen Ningxia and Baili Junyi.

She was the direct descendant of the Lin Family's second branch, and her father was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice. He already looked like he had a good position, but in front of her, that status didn't count for much.

Quiet And Steadfast lowered his eyes indifferently, sighing for Lin Fei in his heart. Did he really think that he could talk to Shen Ninghua on equal footing with Imperial Concubine Li as his backer? He thought too highly of himself.

Having not heard Shen Ninghua's words for a long time, Lin Fei's secret joy turned into apprehension. She couldn't help but look up at Shen Ninghua, and upon seeing her slightly contemptuous gaze, her heart thumped as she hurriedly bent her knees and bowed. "Esteemed wangfei, you've overestimated your capabilities. Please do not forgive me."

Shen Ninghua slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip. Seeing Lin Fei maintaining her curtsied posture, her legs trembled a little, before she slowly said, "Miss Lin, this older sister is not someone you can easily pick up. Don't talk without thinking, I don't care today, if it were anyone else, I would have dragged you down and beaten you to death."

Lin Fei's face turned pale, and then a deep feeling of humiliation arose from the bottom of her heart. She bit her lips and looked at Fei Ran, who was standing aside, with a sad expression.

Imperial Consort Li was angry to begin with. At this moment, she even felt that Shen Ninghua was purposely making things difficult for her. She immediately spoke up to protect Lin Fei, "It's just a form of address. This child didn't do it on purpose. Princess Zhao Hua is too excessive …" She stopped abruptly before she could finish her words, and her face changed drastically.

Princess Radiant! She had actually forgotten about this!

Shen Ninghua looked at her with a smile that was not really a smile, "Isn't it a bit too much?" Why isn't Imperial Concubine finished? "

"I have misspoken. Princess, please do not blame me." Lifei hated him to death, but she had no choice but to give in. She only thought of 'Big Sister Wangfei is nothing,' but she forgot that Shen Ninghua had another identity. That person was Princess Zhuolong. You, a servant girl, actually wanted to take a royal princess as your big sister. Aren't you trying to rush yourself to your death? Who gave you such a big face?

[I am already giving you face if I don't accuse you of disrespecting the imperial power!] At this moment, not to mention the surrounding beautiful ladies who were listening to the commotion, even the empress dowager sitting in the pavilion felt that Shen Ninghua was being magnanimous.

Lin Fei had lost all face, and Lifei, who was standing at the side, was also a bit embarrassed. Jingfei acted as the mediator and signaled the palace maid to call the other young girl.

This girl's personality was introverted and she had always been a normal person in the crowd. Most of the time, she would listen to the ladies around her and only occasionally say a word.

Only when the young girl walked in front of Jingfei did Shen Ninghua's heart suddenly tremble. Looking at the young girl's elegant face, she almost cried out loud, "Si Qin!"

Although her fate in this life was completely different, she often thought of the maids, Si Qin and Si Cha, who were by her side in her previous life.

Seeing that the young girl had finished bowing, Jingfei smiled and said, "What a calm child. Just looking at him makes people like him."

Imperial Consort Li was currently angry and didn't even want to say a word. Bu Yunqing indifferently nodded and the atmosphere immediately turned stiff.

Shen Ninghua, however, spoke up at this juncture, "Your name is Rou Qin, and your surname is Xia?"

The young girl, Xia Ruoqin quickly replied, "Reporting to the wangfei, this servant is indeed called Xia Ruoqin. My father is the governor of Riverside City."

Initially, when she took in Si Qin, she had heard from her that her hometown was in Jiangnan. Her father originally knew of the county, but because of the Jiangnan salt and corruption case, he was executed and she was reduced to a servant. That was why she came to Shen Ninghua's side and changed her name to Si Qin.

In this life, she had sent people to find people in Jiangnan, but to no avail. She did not expect that in this life, her father would raise her to the rank of an official and send her to the capital to participate in the talent show.

Xia Rou Qin raised her head and looked at Shen Ninghua, feeling somewhat overwhelmed in her heart. She had long since heard of the legend of the princess consort.

Shen Ninghua smiled and said, "This little sister looks especially friendly."

Just a moment ago, Lin Fei had called her big sister, causing her face to sweep the floor with shame. But now, Shen Ninghua has taken the initiative to address a little Prefect's daughter as his little sister. This is not slapping their Lin Family right in the face! "

He couldn't help but say coldly, "Princess Zhaohua, if this beautiful woman had a higher status and became Prince Yi's concubine, you would be able to call her a sister, but it's fine. Her status is too low, and she can even seal a concubine. It would be enough to help you have a sisterhood."

Xia Ruoqin immediately kneeled on the ground with a pale face. "Your humble servant's status is low, how could I dare to call you sister-in-law? If your esteemed wangfei doesn't despise your humble servant's birth, allowing me to serve you as a maid would already be your greatest fortune."

Bu Yun looked at Shen Ninghua. He did not understand why she was so impulsive today. The girl from the Lin Clan was interested in Jun Yi. She had treated Jun Yi well and had just trampled on her dignity. Why were they still slapping the Lin Clan and Imperial Consort's face? After all, the Lin Clan was not someone to be trifled with.

Shen Ninghua stood up and pulled Xia Ruoqin up by her arm. "Mufei, I like this girl from the first glance. Although I can't see her as a little sister, in my heart, she's the same as my little sister. I have a presumptuous request, please accept it mufei."

"Little girl, what are you tormenting yourself for? Please don't go overboard and come out." Before Bu Yun could reply, Baili Qingfeng, who was striding over, said with a smile.

"Greetings, your Imperial Majesty."

Xia Ruoqin had just gotten up and immediately knelt down. She looked down at Shen Ninghua's dress embroidered with orchids, her heart filled with anxiety. If the wangfei angered the imperial concubine and the emperor because of her, then she really would die a thousand deaths.

Shen Ninghua stood up after saluting and pointed at Xia Ruoqin, "Imperial Father, didn't this son tell you before that I know about medicine, but I haven't been able to find a suitable disciple. There's one before my eyes."

Baili Qing Cang glanced at Xia Rou Qin, "This girl?"

Un, although the smell on her body is very light, I can still smell a light smell of medicinal herbs. This smell is the result of being exposed to medicinal herbs for a long time, moreover, her fingertips are slightly yellow and there are still scars left on the back of her hand from the Thorn Grass. She used a jute package to collect the traces left behind by the Thorn Grass, so it is obvious that she has a good understanding of the medicinal herbs.

Baili Qing Cang laughed, "To be as meticulous as you are, I'm afraid that you won't be able to find another person. I'm afraid that even Chen Jun's medical skills are not much better than yours. Alright, since you like this girl, then I'll be your disciple. "

"Yes, thank you royal father."

Bu Yun looked at Shen Ninghua with a complicated expression. He would never have thought that Shen Ninghua, who had been saved for revenge, had already grown to such an extent. Back in the valley, she had already grasped more than half of the medical manuals and poison arts she had collected. Now that a period of time had passed, she was afraid that her medical skills had become even more formidable than before.

Xia Rou Qin was overjoyed. Originally, she came to participate in the talent show just to pass the first round. She didn't expect to pass the first selection and enter the second round. She originally wanted to make some mistakes and leave the palace.

Back then, when she came in contact with the herbs, she had heard that Princess Zhao Hua personally treated the people when she was in Jiangnan to save the disaster. She felt a sense of admiration and yearned to have her father request a master's tutelage. Now, she was extremely glad that she decided to learn medicine. Otherwise, how could she have had the chance to stay by Princess Zhao Hua's side?
