Shen Ning opened a pharmacy in Jinlin Courtyard and asked Lingfeng to go to the countryside to find some poisons.

Preparing medicines is a troublesome and laborious job. It doesn't look tiring, but it requires special concentration. The dosage can't be more or less.

At the same time, Shen Ning began to take tonics by herself. She drank a bowl of tonics based on ginseng and snow lotus every morning.

Ling Feng found a few poisons she needed, and Shen Ning sealed them with blood extracted from snow lotus and ginseng, and let them kill each other in the jar.

Fragrant Gu is the most expensive of all Gus and the best to raise because it is rich in nutrients and grows very quickly.

It's just that raising voodoo is strictly prohibited in the Yong Kingdom. If anyone knew about it, it would be lighthearted to kill the nine tribes, so there are almost no people in the Yong state who raise voodoo.

Even if there are, they are hidden in backward tribes that do not see outsiders, and are not easily known by others.

After working all morning, when Shen Ning went out to rest, she saw Yan Zheng sitting in the garden.

She was a little surprised: "When did Miss Yan come?"

"Princess." Yan Zheng stood up and smiled a little shyly, "I came with my eldest brother. He was discussing matters with the regent in the study in the front yard."

Shen Ning understood: "I was planning to send you a post and invite you to come over for tea tomorrow."

"No, no, if the princess wants to see me, just send someone to tell me. There is no need to send a message." Yan Zheng waved his hands quickly, "Big brother is always there when you are called, and so am I."

Shen Ning smiled: "I was admiring flowers in your house that day, but it ended up being unpleasant. I always wanted to make amends with you."

"That incident was not the princess's fault." Yan Zheng said quickly, "I was always worried that the princess would make things difficult for her after entering the palace, but I didn't expect that the princess escaped unscathed."

Shen Ning hummed, ordered Lanzhi to make tea, and sat with Yan Zheng in the pavilion in the garden for a while.

"If you want to come in the future, you can come at any time." Shen Ning said, turning to tell Shi Qin, "Let them tell the disciples later. From now on, there is no need to stop Miss Yan from coming to the palace."

"yes."

"What are the princess's daily hobbies?" Yan Zheng asked her.

Shen Ning shook her head: "I don't have any special hobbies. I usually practice martial arts and keep fit."

Yan Zheng snorted, with a slightly hesitant expression: "Well... I think the princess should pay attention to Shen Yan. Although she is your sister, she seems to have no good intentions towards the princess."

Shen Ning nodded: "I know."

"After the princess entered the palace that day, Mr. Qin looked like he was out of his mind. Miss Shen stood aside and made sarcastic remarks, saying that the princess did not deserve what he was doing, and that Mr. Qin deserved better..." Yan Zheng frowned, her tone quite serious. Disdainfully, "Although I also think Mr. Qin is not worthy of the princess, the words Miss Shen Er said are a bit inappropriate. In addition, the imperial concubine decree arrived at the Duke's Mansion the day before yesterday. I am worried that she will use her status as a palace concubine to suppress the princess in the future."

Shen Ning sighed lightly, the imperial decree of concubine had been issued, and it was basically a certainty that Shen Yan would enter the palace and become a concubine.

But they all take it for granted, thinking that being a concubine means that they must be a noble person.

With Shen Yan's temperament, once she successfully enters the palace, she will definitely find trouble and try to suppress Shen Ning.

But whether she has the ability to do it or not is not something she can decide.

The two didn't chat for long, and the nanny from the front yard came to deliver the news that the eldest princess of Pingyao was visiting, and the prince asked the princess to come over.

Shen Ning raised her eyebrows slightly: "What is the eldest princess of Pingyao doing here?"

"I don't know, old slave."

Shen Ning asked Yan Zheng to sit down first. She got up and went to the main hall in the front yard. When she entered the hall, she saw Ji Yucang sitting on the main seat. The prime ministers on the left and right sat at the lower left corner. Princess Pingyao sat at the lower right corner. Her There was also a gentle and courteous man standing beside him.

Shen Ning's eyes paused for a moment on Princess Pingyao's face, then she walked to the main seat and sat down without saying a word.

The prime ministers on the left and right stood up, bowed and saluted: "I have met the princess."

The eldest princess of Pingyao bowed slightly: "I have met the emperor's aunt."

"No need to be polite." Shen Ning's voice was light, "The eldest princess is a distinguished guest. Lunch time is coming, do you want to stay for dinner?"

The eldest princess of Pingyao looked at Shen Ning steadily, with a thoughtful look in her eyes: "You are different from before."

Shen Ning was about to pick up the tea cup when she heard the words and looked at Princess Pingyao slowly: "What's the difference?"

"She used to be a lady, so she is suitable to be the mistress of the house." Princess Pingyao raised her lips slightly, "Now she looks a bit like me."

I have to say that Princess Pingyao has very poisonous eyes.

Shen Ning was really not used to being the mistress of the house, so when she asked her if she wanted to stay for dinner, her tone was different from ordinary mistresses.

However, she can see the changes inside her at a glance, which shows that she has good eyesight.

Shen Ning couldn't help but look at this woman with admiration.

"Is it similar to the eldest princess?" She smiled faintly, "The eldest princess means that she thinks I am not suitable to be the regent princess, but should be an eldest princess?"

"Unless the emperor recognizes you as his adopted daughter or sister, you will not be able to become the princess." Princess Pingyao said surprisingly, "But since the emperor values ​​you so much, it is better for you to be the regent princess."

Shen Ning said calmly: "I was originally the regent princess."

"You should understand what I mean." Princess Pingyao seemed to not care at all that there were other men present, and said without any scruples, "The current Princess Regent is the Princess of the Prince Regent, and the Princess Regent I am talking about is the Princess who can act as regent. , both sound the same, but have different powers.”

Hearing this, the prime ministers on the left and right looked shocked: "Elder Princess, this...isn't this appropriate?"

The eldest princess of Pingyao said: "If it's suitable, why not ask the emperor's uncle."

Yan Qingchen turned to look at Ji Yucang. She originally thought that he would scold Princess Pingyao, but she didn't expect that he would actually say: "This king does have this intention."

Yan Qingchen: "..."

Xie Tinglan: "..."

Even Shen Ning was a little surprised and turned to look at him without saying a word.

"However, there is no woman in power in the court yet, so a precedent needs to be set." Ji Yu said calmly, "I will officiate your marriage, and you will be in charge of the Ministry of War for me."

Princess Pingyao's expression paused, and her eyebrows slowly furrowed: "Let me enter the court?"
