Princess Chang Le didn't know whether she believed Shen Ning's explanation or not, but she didn't make things difficult for her afterward, nor did she pay any attention to her.
After a trip, she acquired a longbow, and Shen Ning was in a pretty good mood. She excitedly asked Mo Lin to teach her archery, but she was immediately discouraged.
Mo Lin: "Miss is too thin and lacks arm strength. This bow is not suitable for you. Forcing yourself to draw it will cause injury."
It's just strength, right? She'll train, but of course she can't just train strength. She's planning to find a martial arts master.
Mo Lin: "Learning martial arts requires enduring a lot of hardship."
Shen Ning: "..." She doesn't like to suffer. She wasn't like that before, but now and in the future, she will never let herself suffer.
However, this did not dampen Shen Ning's enthusiasm. He could practice whenever he had free time. Even if he couldn't become a martial arts master, it would still be good for his health.
Shen Ning instructed the martial arts instructors she had hired to primarily teach Mo Lin and the others, while she herself would learn some skills as well.
The main point is to avoid hardship and learn as much as you feel like.
Perhaps it was because of their unambitious master, Shen Ning, that Yu Zhu and the others felt that it wasn't shameful if they couldn't learn the moves, so they would try to learn a few tricks whenever they had free time.
It features a character who is skilled in all martial arts, but has no offensive capabilities whatsoever.
Shen Ning was having so much fun that he forgot all about home, and Du Yunzhi finally couldn't resist coming over.
"I've been helping with inventory these past few days, my hands are practically blistered from all that work, while you're having a blast, enjoying flowers and the moon, sipping tea and basking in the sun. What kind of idyllic life are you living...?"
Du Yunzhi was so jealous that she was unrecognizable, and then she angrily ate half a plate of pastries.
Du Yunzhi had only stayed here for one night when Ye Feiyan arrived early the next morning.
"Miss Shen really knows how to enjoy life. Has she finally seen the light?"
In the past few years of managing the household, they have witnessed firsthand Shen Ning's relentless and stubborn spirit; she always seems determined to fight to the death.
He must have been hit too hard; he's like a completely different person now.
Shen Ning: "..." There's probably no one in this world who would believe she's really living a carefree life right now.
He hugged Du Yunzhi tightly, looking pitiful: "Ah Zhi, you're the only one who's ever been good to me."
Du Yunzhi patted her to comfort her: "Alright, think positively. Without the marriage contract, there are plenty of good men for you to choose from, many of whom are better than Wei Congwen."
That's not true.
Shen Ning couldn't agree more, but she didn't want to talk about marriage right now.
She gave Ye Feiyan a meaningful look: "I'm not in a hurry now. What about Azhi? Have you found your ideal husband yet?"
The fox appeared calm and collected, but in reality, its ears were practically standing up.
Du Yunzhi was completely unguarded around Shen Ning and truthfully replied, "Mother has mentioned it a few times, but Father says there's no rush."
As Du Sande's only daughter, she will inherit the family business and will have no shortage of food, clothing, or marriage prospects.
"So, Ah Zhi, what kind of girl do you like?"
Du Yunzhi glanced at her uncertainly again and again, wondering why Shen Ning asked such a question. Thinking of that scumbag Wei Congwen, she immediately had a comparison.
"He must be tall, good-looking, rich, of good character, from a good family, and of good moral character; he cannot be too weak or frail."
Seeing that someone's fox tail was about to get too cocky, Shen Ning couldn't help but want to put him down: "You can't judge a person by their appearance alone. Some people look decent, but who knows if they're full of tricks and have a lot of schemes up their sleeves."
After saying that, I felt a chill run down my spine; there was a murderous aura emanating from him!
Du Yunzhi glanced back at Ye Feiyan and nodded, adding, "Indeed, one shouldn't be too cunning."
Hahaha, Young Master Ye has been hurt a second time.
In the sweltering summer, when friends gather, what better way to celebrate than with delicious food and wine?
There is a peach orchard halfway up the mountain. There are no flowers to admire at this time, but the peaches are ripe.
Find a dry, open space, lay out a straw mat and a small table, set out fruits and snacks, light a fire, and grill marinated meat skewers—it's a unique experience.
Peaches are readily available, and to wash them, there is a stream nearby with babbling water that is refreshing and pleasant, and the banks are covered with all kinds of unknown wildflowers.
Ye Feiyan was dragged by Du Yunzhi to spear fish, several maids were busy grilling meat, and Shen Ning leaned against a tree, flipping through a travelogue in her hand.
Suddenly, a cluster of flowers was thrust in front of her, behind which was Mo Xue'er's face, blinking her eyes: "Young Miss, you like flowers?"
Before Shen Ning could move, she took out a flower wreath with her other hand and gently placed it on her head, her eyes full of joy: "Beautiful, pretty, gorgeous."
After saying that, he didn't forget to put one on himself too.
Shen Ning smiled gently, "You vain little fool."
He accepted her flowers and said, "Thank you."
"Da da da".
Amidst the rapid clatter of hooves and the rumble of wheels, a formidable guard escorted a carriage slowly past.
All the horses were plump and strong, and the guards were all robust and tall, dressed in uniform, holding swords, with cold and stern expressions, exuding an imposing aura.
In this capital city, apart from government officials, no one is allowed to carry a sword, let alone such a uniform configuration.
The large carriage in the middle moved steadily forward. Its body was black with gold patterns, and its wheels were larger than those of ordinary carriages. The huge copper nails were almost the size of a fist.
A slender hand stretched out of the car window and lazily rested on the side, adorned with two enormous gemstone rings. Under the sunlight, the two rings, one red and one white, shone dazzlingly.
They are nobles whom we cannot afford to offend.
Shen Ning pressed down on Mo Xue'er's head: "Be good, don't move."
Apart from Shen Ning, everyone else remained motionless, holding their breath and waiting for them to pass.
The oppressive feeling brought by power and force is tangible.
Once everyone had gone some distance, Liu Ying and Yu Zhu dared to approach Chen Ning: "That was terrifying! We almost suffocated just now."
The others nodded in agreement, completely in favor.
Shen Ning looked at the mountaintop behind him: "I remember there was only a secluded Taoist temple behind this place, and no other buildings."
"Behind that Taoist temple is the back gate of the imperial hunting grounds. It's two hours faster to get to the imperial palace from here than by the main road."
Ye Feibai and Du Yunzhi walked over, their expressions no longer as cheerful as before.
Ye Feibai sat down and lowered his voice, saying, "His Highness the Crown Prince is currently at the imperial palace, and the number of people here will only increase. It won't be so easy to find peace and quiet here."
Shen Ning thought he was right: "Go back first thing tomorrow morning."
It's getting late, and even riding at full speed, we can't catch up with the city gates being locked. Besides, we still need to pack our things.
Back in his own estate, once the gate was closed, it seemed that all danger could be kept out.
Upon learning that Shen Ning and the others were returning to the city the next day, Aunt Wang pulled out her treasured plum wine.
"This is plum wine from last year. It will become more sour over time, so don't overindulge if you have an upset stomach."
It's rare to have a drink, and it's impossible not to overindulge.
Even Mo Xue'er, that silly girl, was forced to drink a mouthful by Shen Ning and then held onto the wine glass tightly.
It's sour and spicy, delicious!
