Chapter 51 I'm Sorry for Being Born a Human
He felt inexplicably irritated.
As for why he was irritated, he himself couldn't explain it clearly.
The carriage had just arrived outside the princess's mansion when Su Yunyao was seen from afar kissing a man on the corner of his lips.
Isn’t Huo Xiao far away at the border? Who is this man?
"Lord Lu?"
Hearing this, Lu Mingfeng suddenly came back to his senses. He withdrew his fingertips from the corner of his lips and raised his eyebrows, "Master Shen, why are you here?"
"I'm here on the orders of the Emperor to deliver a letter to the Princess. Why is Lord Lu here too?"
Deliver a letter?
Lu Mingfeng didn't dwell on what the letter was. Since it was sent by the emperor, it must be the emperor looking for the eldest princess.
He did not answer the question asked by Shen Qiu Nian, but bowed calmly and said, "It's getting late, I will return home first."
Chen Qiu Nian looked at him, his eyes inadvertently falling on the place where Su Yunyao had just kissed him. He asked as if possessed by a ghost, "Lord Lu, aren't you curious at all about the letter that the Emperor asked me to deliver to the Princess? What is it?"
Lu Mingfeng paused as he turned around, his voice unclear. "Since this is a letter that the Emperor wants Lord Shen to give to the Princess, as a subject, I naturally have no right to interfere."
Chen Qiu Nian smiled in relief, "Lord Lu, there's no need to be nervous. Since we've met, it's just a small talk."
He waved the envelope in front of Lu Mingfeng and said, "Lord Lu may not be familiar with General Huo's handwriting, but since I help the Emperor with state affairs all day, I can easily tell that this letter is from General Huo to the Princess."
Lu Mingfeng heard this, his eyes were cold and sharp, but he smiled: "Since this is an errand given to Lord Shen by the Emperor, it is better to deliver the letter to the Princess as soon as possible, and don't delay."
Shen Qiu Nian saw that he deliberately ignored Huo Xiao.
He lowered his eyes to glance at the words on the envelope, his expression changing slightly.
"I arrived just before the princess entered the mansion."
Before entering the mansion...
Shen Qiunian stopped talking.
Lu Mingfeng understood it clearly. He mentioned it deliberately at this time just to tell him.
He saw the eldest princess kissing him before entering the mansion.
Lu Mingfeng smiled calmly, "Master Shen, if you have anything to say, please speak directly."
"You and I have served in the court for many years. I just want to kindly remind you that if you have any inappropriate thoughts about the princess, you may end up losing more than just face."
"oh."
Lu Mingfeng stretched out the last syllable of his voice, as if he was thinking about something.
"If I remember correctly, Lord Shen has been avoiding the eldest princess and even asked the emperor to marry the daughter of Grand Tutor Lin..."
After a pause, Lu Mingfeng clenched one hand into a fist, placed it to his lips and coughed lightly.
"I made a slip of the tongue. Grand Tutor Lin has been dismissed from his position, so naturally, he should no longer be called Grand Tutor. Now, his daughter has also been made... I hope the Emperor will grant mercy soon so that Lord Shen can be with his beautiful wife."
Shen Qiunian's face paled visibly, and the corners of his lips were pressed deeply into a straight line.
Lu Mingfeng greeted him and said, "Since Lord Shen has important matters to attend to, I will not disturb you."
The moment he turned around, he raised his hand and touched the place where the eldest princess had just kissed him.
Even though a while had passed, he still felt a slight heat in that spot.
Chen Qiu Nian stared at his departing figure for a long time before he came to his senses and knocked on the door of the princess's mansion.

Su Yunyao slept very soundly and didn't wake up until noon.
She dragged her tired body and sat in front of the dressing mirror, allowing her three personal maids to fiddle with her.
Dating is also a physical activity!
She only walked a short distance last night, but when she woke up today, she felt like her whole body was falling apart.
Indeed, the range of movement she could do was limited to the bed.
After lunch, Su Yunyao got into the carriage with the birthday gift she had chosen for the Queen at Jinjing Tower yesterday.
There was a sign at the entrance of the princess's mansion that said "Dogs and Shen Qiu Nian are not allowed to enter" compared to before.
Su Yunyao: ...
Su Yunyao slowly gave the three of them a thumbs up.
For a moment she didn't know whether to praise them or scold them.
It’s really great!
-
at the same time.
The queen had just finished lunch and was lying on the chaise longue.
The maid Yanhong stood behind her, carefully rubbing her temples.
"Your Highness, why are you so angry about Concubine Shu? You're getting sick from being angry, and you'll be the one who suffers in the end. I see you haven't eaten much for lunch. How about I ask the kitchen to prepare some more pastries?"
The Queen closed her eyes and waved her hand, "Never mind, I don't have much appetite..."
At this moment, the maid at the door of Fengqi Palace walked in.
"Your Majesty, the eldest princess is here."
The eldest princess?
Hearing these three words, the queen opened her eyes suddenly.
Yanhong was even more shocked, and even her hand that was rubbing the queen's head suddenly stopped.
"Are you sure? Did you see it wrong? Did the princess really come to our Fengqi Palace?"
The maid was panicked. "I'm not mistaken. The princess's sedan chair has stopped at the gate of Fengqi Palace."
The queen was instantly overwhelmed when she heard this.
She was already upset enough because of Concubine Shu.
Why did the eldest princess suddenly think of coming to her palace?
Every time he came to Fengqi Palace in previous years, he would cause chaos in the palace.
Chen Qiu Nian didn't like her, and even the emperor couldn't do anything about it, so what could she, a queen, do?
The queen had just sighed in her heart when Su Yunyao walked in with her maids Zhenzhu and Agate.
As soon as Su Yunyao walked in, she bowed politely.
"Changle greets the Queen, may the Queen be well and safe."
The entire Fengqi Palace suddenly became deafeningly quiet.
The queen stood there motionless, as if someone had pricked her blood.
Su Yunyao was very polite. After a while, seeing no one responded, she looked up at the Queen and reminded her, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
The Queen suddenly came to her senses, "Quick, hurry up, why is Changle free to come here today?"
Su Yunyao heard the sound and just wanted to stand up, but she stumbled and almost fell down.
Queen: ...
The original owner's body was really delicate.
I only walked a short distance last night.
The knees are no longer good.
When I arrived at Fengqi Palace, I didn't kneel when I saluted, but just bent my knees. The pain in my legs immediately became unbearable.
Thinking of the 1,500 meters she once ran around the playground...
Su Yunyao couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
I'm sorry for being born a human being.
The queen was so frightened that her face turned pale, thinking that she would act like a demon again like before, and she quickly sent for the imperial physician.
He quickly got down from the chaise longue, walked to Su Yunyao and supported her.
"What's wrong with Changle? Are you feeling unwell?"
Seeing that she didn't move, the queen's eyes flashed with silence, "Changle..."
She just moved her lips, and the words that were on the tip of her tongue were not spoken yet.
Su Yunyao suddenly frowned and grabbed the Queen's hand, "Your Majesty..."
