Chapter 1246 Golden Cage (79)

Seeing his gentle features and handsome appearance, Shen Mubai couldn't help but feel slightly moved.

Then she thought about it, if she got married to get rid of Wen Renzhen, she wouldn't have to be locked up in Hua'an Palace, and she wouldn't have to worry every day.

Liu Yanzhi seemed to be a suitable candidate. First of all, he was the number one scholar appointed by the late emperor, and he was gentle, polite, and not rigid. If you secretly draw up an agreement with the other party, this favor should still be helpful.

Liu Yanzhi naturally noticed the appraising gaze from the other side, and his cheeks felt hot, but he still looked up at her and said in a polite voice, "Princess, what do you want to say to me?"

Shen Mubai stared at him for a while, feeling more and more that this plan would work, but he still had to communicate with Concubine Rong first. So he coughed and said, "Nothing."

But those eyes were still spinning, not knowing what they were thinking.

"If the princess is in trouble, I will do my best." Liu Yanzhi said warmly, his earlobes dyed with a faint crimson color, making him a gentleman like jade.

Shen Mubai suddenly felt guilty, and her original plan was shaken. Did she really want to drag Liu Yanzhi into trouble? Isn't that a bit too unkind?

She hesitated for a moment, then looked at the palace maid not far away, "If anything happens, I will have someone send a letter to Liu Zhuangyuan."

Liu Yanzhi looked at the sky outside and knew that it would be inappropriate for him to stay here for too long, so he stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll come to pay my respects to the princess next time."

After he left, Shen Mubai said to the palace maid, "Do you know what to say and what not to say?"

The palace maid knelt down tremblingly, "I know this."

Shen Mubai nodded with satisfaction.

But while having dinner that night, Wen Renzhen asked casually, "I heard that Liu Zhuangyuan arrived at Hua'an Palace today?"

Shen Mubai held the bowl and chopsticks for a moment, then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Yes, he came to see my princess. The Liu family helped me a lot before, and I haven't thanked them yet."

Wen Renzhen's eyes stayed on her face for a while, then he said, "Fifth brother will reward you for you."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be thinking about the incident when Liu Yanzhi was a child, Shen Mubai slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

I originally thought that this matter would be over, but I didn't expect that just as I was about to lower my head, I heard a deep voice coming from the other side.

"He stayed here for an hour."

Shen Mubai's heart skipped a beat. How could she have noticed the time issue at that time? When she heard this, she thought to herself, had it been that long?

But seeing Ren Yan's expression not looking good, he quickly said, "We were just talking about some things outside the palace. I asked him to talk about it."

Wen Renzhen didn't say anything anymore, he just picked up the food for her.

Shen Mubai looked at his expression, felt relieved a little, and then put the food in his mouth.

At night, the maid came in to take care of the bath, and then left.

Shen Mubai lay on the bed and began to think carefully about the plan he had thought of at noon.

She was afraid that Wen Renzhen would disturb the Zhao family and Concubine Rong, but now that she had reached the hairpin age and was old enough to get married, it was impossible for Wen Renzhen to prevent her from getting married for the rest of her life.

But there seems to be no other suitable candidate for this candidate except Liu Yanzhi.

Liu Yanzhi is interested in her. Except for this, which is a bit difficult to handle, the other conditions are met. He is easy to talk to and a true gentleman will not go back on his promise or give up at the last moment.
