Chapter 153: Agitation

Si Linglong and Helian Yue were still on their way back, while Shen Rongrong had already returned to her tent in disappointment. However, halfway through the journey, someone suddenly called her.

Shen Rongrong turned her head and saw Concubine Lian coming on horseback, all alone.

Shen Rongrong didn't think much of the Bai family's eldest daughter, but she was Empress Lianfei after all, so she bowed to her politely.

"Greetings to Concubine Lian."

"Miss Shen, you don't have to be polite." Bai Qianqian raised her hand towards her, her gesture gentle and generous, "Miss Shen, are you coming back from a horse race? How about you stay with me?"

Shen Rongrong would not refuse, but she was more curious, "Why is the queen alone?"

"Since it's horse racing, it's naturally more fun to do it alone." Bai Qianqian looked at Shen Rongrong and said meaningfully, "As women, we don't have many opportunities in our lives to be willful and capricious."

Shen Rongrong came from a military family, so she didn't feel much about Bai Qianqian's sudden sentimentality. She just looked at her blankly, then responded with a dry smile.

"Your Highness is absolutely right."

What she was thinking in her heart was that her father had never restricted her since she was a child like other girls from wealthy families, and she had always been free and willful and did what she wanted.

Those who are bound by their own will should be the ladies from aristocratic families like Concubine Lian.

Bai Qianqian saw her reaction and it seemed that she didn't feel much about her upcoming marriage. Her beautiful eyes turned and she suddenly thought of a possibility. She immediately tried to change the topic.

"I heard that Miss Shen and the prince of Li will be engaged soon. I would like to congratulate Miss Shen in advance on finding a good husband. I will send her a gift of makeup later."

Although Bai Qianqian was extremely reluctant about this marriage, she showed no sign of it on her face, acting like a concubine being intimate with the family of a minister.

Shen Rongrong's expression changed drastically when she heard her words, and her pretty face also became gloomy.

"My daughter is not engaged yet, please don't talk nonsense."

Bai Qianqian was stunned, and immediately realized that she had guessed correctly.

Prince Li and Marquis Wu'an had decided to get engaged, but had not yet told her.

But thinking about the temperament of this girl from the Shen family, Bai Qianqian could understand it. After a brief moment of shock, she pretended to make a surprised expression.

"Miss Shen, you still don't know? I've said too much."

Bai Qianqian looked annoyed and continued, "I also heard about it from the female relatives. I thought it was a well-known fact. After all, Prince Li and Marquis Wu'an have been together today..."

Shen Rongrong originally thought that someone was spreading rumors about her marriage and was angry, but after hearing Bai Qianqian's next words, her expression could not help but change slightly.

She recalled the clothes her mother had specially asked someone to make for her before she came to the hunting grounds, and the praises that Princess Li had given her a few days ago, and her heart slowly sank.

This time, she wholeheartedly thought that her father wanted to dedicate her to the emperor!

How did he become the prince of Li? !

The man in her heart is not a playboy like Helian Tuo!

The hand holding the horsewhip was slightly clenched, and Shen Rongrong stood in place, her whole body seemed to be tense with strength.

She bit her lip, the more she thought about it, the more she couldn't stand. Not caring that she had just agreed to Bai Qianqian's request to accompany her, Shen Rongrong hurriedly apologized and simply rode back to the tent.

She must ask clearly!

Bai Qianqian watched Shen Rongrong running away. She was slightly surprised, but also found it funny that her trip was so smooth.

After all, marriage is a major matter and one that is decided by parents. Bai Qianqian originally thought that if Shen Rongrong was entangled in her own thoughts and her parents' wishes, she could just fan the flames.

Unexpectedly, this person couldn't sit still before I even started to encourage him.

Really impulsive.

You know, impulsive people are the easiest to deceive.
