The night breeze blew over, gently blowing the lotus leaves that were filled with water, gently floating on the lake. Under the reflection of the lanterns, the lotus leaves seemed to sparkle.

It had been a long time since he had such a comfortable life! Wen Shuyu sighed.

Under the influence of a few rounds of wine, she was slightly drunk and planned to stay in the pavilion for a while before returning to the side hall of the Tzu Ning Palace.

Just as she walked into the pavilion, she saw a few guards walk over. She raised her head and saw Yang Jian, who was leading the group!

Why is it him again! She didn't want to meet him again, okay?

Yang Jian arranged for the guards behind him to patrol on the other side. Yet, he walked directly towards Wen Shuyu's direction.

"I've seen County Princess Shayuan before. It looks like there really is some destiny between us. In such a large palace, no matter where I am on duty, I will always be able to see the princess."

Yang Jian looked at Wen Shuyu with a dazzling smile. Wen Shuyu, who was drunk to begin with, suddenly remembered all the things that had happened in her previous life.

It was the same smile and the same look in Wen Shuyu's eyes. During the six years she was in charge of government, she had sparred with Yang Jian many times, but she had to admit, he was very smart and also very powerful. It was also true that Rao Yong was good at fighting.

First, she used the excuse of saving the emperor as an excuse, using Dao Ge as an excuse to show mercy to the Palace, causing her to worry deeply. Then, she helplessly conferred a title to him, Marquis Pingling, and not only that, she even pouted loudly, clearly wanting to get more benefits from the empress dowager, Wen Shuyu. However, she said very clearly, one sentence for the imperial kingdom, one sentence for the imperial palace, one sentence for the sacred imperial palace, forcing Wen Shuyu to grant him the entire northwest feudal fiefdom.

Thinking of this, the drunk Wen Shuyu did not even bother to return the greeting. She snorted coldly, "Hmph, stop smiling. I know what you're thinking. It's not like it's the past, but don't be so arrogant!"

Wen Shuyu was very hostile towards Yang Jian. However, Yang Jian was a bit confused by her hostility.

Didn't Yu Dingwen say that County Princess Shayuan was arrogant and cold? The last time he saw her like this, he thought that she was scared of strangers. It seemed like the truth was not as she had thought, that she was actually hostile towards him. What exactly did she mean by her words? What's different now? It was only his second time seeing County Princess Shayuan, so where could he start from?

Interesting, truly interesting! Such a cautious little wild cat wasn't as weak as an ordinary princess. It had truly taken a fancy to him.

Yang Jian didn't get angry. He walked up to Wen Shuyu and stood in front of her.

"What do you mean by that, County Princess Shayuan? How could this subject dare to act so arrogantly in front of the princess? However, as they were patrolling the area, they saw the princess walking by herself beside the lotus pond.

Wen Shuyu still had that smile on her face, so much so that it reached her ears. She still hadn't woken up from her stupor, so how could she have seen his expression?!

"Yang Jian, don't be complacent!" Then, he went up and pushed Yang Jian, who was standing beside the lotus pond, away.

All of Yang Jian's attention was focused on Wen Shuyu at this moment. Moreover, he never expected that the dignified County Princess Shayuan would be so unreasonable. He never expected that Wen Shuyu would behave in such an inappropriate manner.

"Plop …"

Wen Shuyu pushed Yang Jian into the lotus pond without noticing!

"Ah!" Wen Shuyu cried out in alarm. There was no need to blow the whistle at all. She had just woken up from her drunken stupor, and it was even more effective than any soup.

"Princess, you …" "Howl …" Yang Jian couldn't believe that such a thing would happen.

Wen Shuyu knew that she had done something wrong. Due to her past life, she had always been resentful towards Yang Jian. That was why she used the alcohol to her advantage and committed a crime that did not conform to her status as a princess.

She didn't dare to reveal it. She looked at Yang Jian, who was still desperately swimming, and when she thought of the cold water in the lake at night, she shuddered, turned around, and quickly ran towards her side hall.

Yang Jian, who was in the water, watched Wen Shuyu run away. He was depressed, so he swam to the shore and climbed up. However, his clothes were all wet. Under the chilly night wind, he shivered.

Looking at the direction Wen Shuyu ran in, Yang Jian hurried back to change his clothes.

Wen Shuyu, who had jogged all the way back to the side chamber, was panting heavily.

"Princess, what's wrong? Why did you come back? Quickly sit down and rest. This servant will give you a warm hand. "

Qian Cao had not been to the side hall for long and was preparing to ask the palace maids to prepare their toiletries.

"Whew, whew, good, hurry up."

Wen Shuyu panted for a long time before she finally sat down on the soft couch. Her heaving heart gradually calmed down.

However, he muttered: "Why are you so reckless? It seems like Yang Jian had a huge influence on me in my past life. He actually managed to …" A first tier guard should be fine, but don't let anything happen to him. Pfft, that can't be. That Yang Jian, that arrogant Smiling Tiger, how could anything happen to him? "

Wen Shuyu consoled herself while Qian Cao brought warm water along with a group of palace maids to help with washing up and changing clothes.

While she was changing her clothes, Ling Xi came in to report.

"Princess."

Seeing Ling Xi come in, Wen Shuyu knew it was about the locust flower.

"All of you can leave. Just let Ling Xi and Qian Cao wait on you." One could not doubt his dignified demeanor.

Waiting until all the palace maids had filed out, Wen Shuyu sat down. Only then did Ling Xi open her mouth, "Reporting to Princess, the matter seems to be a little complicated. Two of the people I asked earlier have disappeared mysteriously, and the matter about the sophora flower seems to have broken down. I'm afraid that I might scare the snake away and only chat for the past two days, I don't even dare to mention the matter about the sophora flower anymore."

Wen Shuyu frowned when she heard that. However, it would be inconvenient to continue the investigation for the time being. If Lou Yiyang were to find out that she was investigating this matter, it might be troublesome!

"Ling Xi, let's not investigate for now. We'll just keep an eye out for it during this time, but don't ask for anything intentionally. Keep it away from us when chatting and don't let anyone hear our intentions."

"Understood Princess, Ling Xi will be careful."

"Mm, you may leave."

The matter of Yang Jian being pushed into the Lotus Pond by Wen Shuyu's carelessness had not been resolved yet. This time, the problem of the Sophora Flower had ended, which made Wen Shuyu, who was always calm, somewhat upset and depressed.

But there were still plenty of people who were more depressed than she was.

Yang Jian, who went back to change clothes, met a guard on duty. He told him about falling into the lotus pond, but didn't say it was because of Wen Shuyu.

After changing his clothes, he hurried back. However, in his heart, he thought that the next time he saw Wen Shuyu, he would have to ask for an explanation from her.
