Shen Ning stayed quietly in the palace for two days.

After changing clothes and washing up in the morning, I would walk in the yard for half an hour and then eat.

After breakfast, we went to the back garden for a walk. The Prince Regent's Palace was very large, and it would take at least a few days to fully become familiar with the terrain here.

Occasionally, when strolling to the northwest school grounds, she would stop and watch the drills on the grounds.

She spent the morning training her strength, and took a nap in the afternoon. After waking up, she sat drinking tea and reading military books.

She also made a physical training plan for herself, so for two consecutive days, she got used to dressing simply and conveniently, and her hair was tied into a high bun to facilitate martial arts practice.

In a blink of an eye, the day came to return home.

Shi Qin and Shi Qi dressed her up early in the morning, putting on a luxurious red dress. Her hair was full of exquisite and noble hairpins, which made her face even more radiant and beautiful.

Shen Ning looked into the mirror and vaguely saw the days before she went to the battlefield. As a royal princess, she was once so noble and beautiful.

However, after more than seven years of fighting on the battlefield, she lost the elegance and delicacy of a princess. In the sea of ​​swords and fire, she became a cold and fierce general, and she no longer had the tenderness and tenderness of her little daughter.

The only thing that remains unchanged is that she has never seen clearly what kind of vicious thoughts are hidden under the gentle and affectionate mask of the person who keeps saying he likes her...

"Everyone in the world says that marrying a virtuous wife is a good thing, but I think a beautiful face will make people feel happier." Ji Yucang entered the room at some point, leaned in front of the screen and looked at Shen Ning with a smile on his lips, " Beautiful clothes match beautiful women, this statement is indeed true.”

Shen Ning turned to look at him.

Ji Yucang was leaning against the screen. She was dressed tall and straight in a black king's robe, which also showed her noble status. Her whole body was full of pressure, and her handsome face made many women from Yong Kingdom flock to her, but she didn't even get a chance to get close. .

There have been rumors outside that Ji Yucang was cruel and ruthless, but he respected his wife very much and was not as ruthless as the rumors outside said.

"I have to go back in three days, do I have to go?" Shen Ning asked calmly, without much emotion, as if she just wanted to get an answer from one of the two, "The Shen family probably doesn't welcome me back."

"Aren't you going to seek justice for yourself when the Duke of Zhenguo treats you like this?" Ji Yucang's eyes moved slightly, "Being idle at home is also idle."

Shen Ning was startled, there was no need to seek justice for herself, but thinking that she was using Shen Ning's body to seek justice for Shen Ning, it was very necessary.

In my memory, Shen Ning has always been an independent and self-reliant woman with an indifferent nature. Before she lost her innocence, she still had some status in the Duke's palace, and her parents did not treat her harshly.

After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Duke's palace. If she wants to marry in the future, she will marry into a prince's palace or a marquis' palace, or even into the palace as a concubine.

No parent would openly treat their daughter harshly.

But the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and the flesh can be thick or thin.

Shen Ning has a firm and independent personality and is not as coquettish as Shen Yan. Therefore, in the heart of Mrs. Shen, the mother, she is not as favored as Shen Yan. In the old lady's heart, the eldest granddaughter is not as caring and cute as the second granddaughter.

Just those that are bearable.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ning went out to pray for her grandmother. Once she encountered a disaster, what she got in exchange was not the love and protection of her family, nor the fact that they reported her to the police to investigate the murderer, but the disgust and neglect of her family.

It seems that she, the victim, is the murderer full of sins. She deserves to die in the name of being strong and strong to protect the reputation of the Duke's government. She should not live in an ignoble way and allow others to criticize her.

Even until now, no one from the Shen family has proposed to investigate the identities and origins of those bandits and find out who ordered them.

Shen Ning couldn't tell for a moment whether they were selfish and unfeeling, or whether they were bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.

But the people in the Duke's Mansion didn't investigate, but she should seek the truth for Shen Ning.

Shen Ning came back to her senses, no longer struggled with this issue, and nodded slowly: "Yes."

There is no need to be too resistant to what she should do regardless of her status, not to mention that now she is in favor of Ji Yucang, so she will not go against his will for any reason.

After finishing dressing up, Shen Ning stood up and walked out with Ji Yucang.

Outside the gate of the palace, a spacious and luxurious carriage was ready. Eight maids on the front and rear of the carriage were waiting for orders. Thirty-two elite guards were responsible for protecting the master's safety.

Shen Ning didn't have time to study whether the formation was too big, so she stepped onto the carriage on a stool, entered the carriage and sat down.

She thought that Ji Yucang, the regent, would ride a tall horse and majestically return to Shen's house with her. Unexpectedly, when the car curtain was lifted, she saw him bowing in calmly and sitting down opposite her.

The originally spacious carriage seemed a little smaller because of the addition of an imposing man. Shen Ning's eyebrows moved slightly and she looked at him carefully.

Ji Yucang is not only a man of noble status, he is also a powerful person with a strong sense of oppression. He doesn't look too old, but I don't know where he can get such strong pressure.

Probably because he stayed on the battlefield for a long time and experienced too much life and death, his heart became hardened and ruthless, and his aura became stronger.

Shen Ning recalled that she had come here in the same way, hadn't she?

"What are you thinking about?" Ji Yucang leaned in the carriage and observed the rare change in expression on her face with interest, "I see you look much better after two days of rest."

Shen Ning hummed lightly: "Practice more martial arts, sweat more, go to bed early at night, and get up early in the morning. Your mental energy will gradually improve."

"There is something I want to discuss with you." Ji Yucang said calmly, "If I want to marry a concubine, will you agree?"

Shen Ning was stunned: "Marry a concubine?"

"Um."

Shen Ning was puzzled: "It's common for men to have three wives and four concubines. What's more, the prince has a high position and power. Can I stop him?"

"I still want to ask for your consent." Ji Yucang said calmly, "After all, you are the main concubine. Only by living in harmony with the side concubine can I have no worries."

Shen Ning was silent for a moment, feeling that his words were a bit strange.

The regent has not married a wife for so many years. He just married a main concubine and wants a side concubine?

"Who do you want to marry?" Shen Ning guessed, "That cousin Yanran?"

"No." Ji Yucang's voice was pleasant, "Recently, the state of Nanzhao has been unstable and there have been frequent wars at the border. Their emperor wants to seek help from Dayong and plans to marry the princess over and form a marriage alliance with Yong."

"Which princess?" Shen Ning blurted out, then realized that her reaction was abnormal and calmed herself down, "I wonder what the temperament of this princess is?"

"We still don't know what our temperament is." Ji Yucang looked calm, "However, Nan Zhao's current situation is not good. Since the death of the God of War Princess, neighboring countries have begun to provoke. They have insufficient troops and incompetent generals. They have fought several times. defeat."

After a pause, "So even if you are unruly and domineering, you have to be obedient when you come to Yong Kingdom."

Shen Ning leaned on the carriage in silence, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, what did Ji Yucang mean by wanting to marry Nan Zhao?

Normally, even if there is a marriage, Princess Nanzhao should enter the emperor's harem and become the emperor's concubine.

If the emperor doesn't want it, it's not impossible to marry another prince and become a princess, but the regent marries into the palace as a concubine...

"If Princess Nanzhao comes to the Yong Kingdom, I will not treat them differently. She will enter the palace and become a concubine. Her status will be below you, and the honor and disgrace of life and death will be in your hands." Ji Yucang's voice was low, "I can let her Live in the most remote courtyard of the palace and let her fend for herself."

Shen Ning's eyebrows moved slightly, and a strange thought came into her mind. It wasn't that she was unhappy or jealous, she just didn't understand Ji Yucang's thoughts.

Although in her opinion, being the concubine of the regent might be better than entering the palace as a concubine, but in this way...

Shen Ning looked at him steadily, with a flash of inquiry in his eyes: "In that case, why not be a slave?"
