Chapter 124: Xian Nanzhen Seeks Another Way Out
The boss hesitated for a moment, and finally answered: "That's right. No matter which nobleman in the Regent's Palace, our small shop cannot afford to provoke the might of the Black Tortoise Army."
Pei Mochen immediately understood in his mind that not only could he not afford to offend his boss, but he also could not afford to offend him, the third prince of Dafeng.
However, Di Xiuyan had not yet gone to the Northern Desert to fight. Why was he so sure that he would return victorious? Swords and knives have no eyes. What if he died on the battlefield? Then Yanyan was not Pei Mochen's princess?
It is really ridiculous that she dares to customize such a headdress so openly now. She simply does not take him, her legal husband, seriously.
After casually buying a few sets of jewelry, Pei Mochen returned to Prince Chen's Mansion with a heart full of anger.
-
In the past few days, Xian Nanzhen clearly felt that the servants' attitude towards her was becoming increasingly cold, and Pei Mochen almost never came to visit her.
She had fallen out with Chunmei when she was in favor a few days ago, and now there is no one who can help her.
Xiao Shunzi took some of her change and reminded her from time to time: "Xian girl, you must eat more at every meal. Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, I'm afraid that even being full will become a luxury."
Xian Nanzhen certainly heard the hidden meaning in this. She tried to escape many times, but failed every time.
"Eunuch, please help me. Xian'er just ate a few more meals at the palace, why is she going to lose her life here?"
Xiao Shunzi looked at her and sighed, "The prince hates being deceived the most, so Miss Xian should plan for herself as soon as possible."
Xian Nanzhen's heart tightened, and she quickly knelt in front of Xiao Shunzi. "Eunuch Shunzi, Xian'er can only count on you now."
In order to survive, she is willing to be Xiao Shunzi's concubine.
Seeing that Xiao Shunzi was unmoved, she gave him all the rewards she had received a few days ago. "Please show me a clear way, eunuch!"
Xiao Shunzi accepted the gift, pondered for a moment, and said, "There is a nobleman living in the east wing of the palace these days. Have you heard of the Xuanwu Army?"
Xian Nanzhen nodded rapidly, "I have heard of it, I have heard of it. Of course I have heard of the defense forces of Dafeng."
Xiao Shunzi: "Everyone is afraid of the Regent, even our prince has to show some mercy to him. If Miss Xian can go to the east wing these days, maybe she can find a glimmer of hope."
Xian Nanzhen stood up, a gleam in her eyes: "Eunuch, are you asking me to seduce the Regent?"
Xiao Shunzi spat and said disdainfully: "Bah, with you? Don't even think about it!"
He went on to say, "The Regent is a star in the sky, a god-like figure. Even our princesses can't even dream of him, so how dare a little girl like you dream of the prince?"
Xian Nanzhen blushed and asked anxiously, "Then, father-in-law, what should I do?"
Xiao Shunzi lowered his voice and said, "The guards that the Regent brought this time are not ordinary guards. There are many generals and counselors among them. Miss Xian is beautiful. If you can get a deputy general or a guard, King Chen will definitely not bother with you for the sake of the Regent."
Xian Nanzhen seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and thanked Xiao Shunzi repeatedly: "Grandpa Shunzi, if I can succeed, I will never forget your kindness in the future."
Xiao Shunzi showed a sinister smile, took the gold ingot that Xian Nanzhen had just given him, took a bite and said, "It depends on whether you have this blessing."
He thought to himself that the will of the Regent's Xuanwu Army was as strong as a rock, especially the personal guards who had their own bottom line and principles. They were not something that ordinary people could deal with.
Xian Nanzhen returned to Shuiyan Pavilion with almost no money left. After much hesitation, she took off the ancestral jade pendant she had been carrying with her.
She found Mrs. Zhang from Prince Chen's mansion and whispered, "Mrs. Zhang, I know you have the best information. I want to ask you about a few people - some masters of the Xuanwu Army."
After receiving the jade pendant, Mrs. Zhang smiled brightly and began to tell Xian Nanzhen everything about the personal guards around Di Xiuyan, including Chi Yan and others.
"In terms of rank and salary, General Chiyan is undoubtedly the best. He is a simple man who lives frugally. It is said that he has accumulated a lot of wealth at a young age."
Xian Nanzhen was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly asked Mrs. Zhang: "Mrs. Zhang, do you know what General Chiyan looks like? Is he tall or short? Is he burly or thin? Is he a gentle and elegant gentleman, or a rough and bold man?"
Mrs. Zhang thought for a moment and replied, "He is neither fat nor thin, tall, handsome, and honest. He is truly a rare good man."
Xian Nanzhen's heart moved and she asked again, "Then do you know what kind of woman he likes?" She wanted to dress herself accordingly.
Mrs. Zhang looked embarrassed and hesitated, "This... I am not sure. However, the general is a martial artist after all. If the fairy girl dresses up more charmingly, maybe she will be able to catch his eye."
After thanking her, Xian Nanzhen had an idea in mind. She took out a water-green gauze dress, deliberately made the neckline a little low, and carefully applied light pink blush and lip balm to make herself look delicate and charming, trying to create a delicate and charming look.
After an hour of careful dressing, Xian Nanzhen looked at herself again and again in front of the bronze mirror. Feeling that she was perfect, she picked up a sachet and a food box and walked slowly towards the east wing.
Xiannanzhen was originally born as a prostitute, and her appearance was already excellent. Today's outfit made her look even more beautiful. The aqua-green gauze dress made her skin look like snow, and the light makeup added a bit of charm. She seemed like a weak woman who could be blown down by a gust of wind, making people feel pity for her.
Xian Nanzhen took in all the gazes of these men, and her confidence grew stronger. By the time she approached the east wing, she was determined to get Chi Yan.
