Meeting the old general without any preparation, Xiao Zhen was instantly nervous. What he didn't expect was that the old general's expression turned out to be one of horror. The moment he saw her, his face was full of horror.

Xiao Zhen: ""The old general's expression is too eye-catching.

At this time every day, Situ Kuang would come to the palace to teach the prince how to practice swordsmanship and martial arts, but he did not expect to see Xiao Zhen in the martial arts training ground, and he was dressed in a shadow guard.

Why is Xiao Zhen by the prince's side? She knows that the prince is Shen Mo?

"Old General, is there anything wrong with my personal bodyguard?" When Si Mo was practicing his sword, he saw the old general's gaze always falling on Xiao Zhen from the corner of his eye, with a strange look on his face, and stopped practicing.

"Personal bodyguard? She is His Highness's personal bodyguard?" The old general's majestic face changed for the first time in decades, as if he was shocked by these words.

"That's right. Don't you know, old general? Xiao Zhen is the shadow guard sent back by Situ. Yesterday I accepted him as my personal body guard. Also, you accept her as your disciple. From now on, you will be responsible

Teach him kung fu."

"What?"

Xiao Zhen walked over bravely and saluted with his fists in his hands: "I have met the old general."

The old general's complexion returned to normal. He looked at Xiao Zhen solemnly, then glanced at the prince. Seeing that there was no difference between the two people, he said, "Old minister, I understand." Let's agree first.

The prince's sword practice lasted for one hour in the morning, and after one hour it was time to go to court.

At this moment, Xiao Zhen could always feel the old general's majestic eyes directed at her, which made her practice the sword quite uncomfortable, and she had to pretend to be nonchalant. She felt strange in her heart.

Why didn't the old general expose himself immediately?

But soon, Xiao Zhen was attracted by the prince practicing swordsmanship. She watched the prince perform Qing Kung and watched the prince's sword moves with unblinking eyes.

Sensing Xiao Zhen's gaze on the prince, the old general felt annoyed for a moment. However, when he saw clearly, he found that the country woman was not paying attention to the prince himself, but to the prince's swordsmanship. He was surprised by her concentration.

It wasn't until the palace servants came to call His Highness the Prince to go to court that the Prince sheathed his sword.

Xiao Zhen was a little disappointed when he could no longer see such a good swordsmanship. He turned around and saw that the old general's majestic gaze was still on him, and he felt nervous again. Seeing that the prince was already going to court, he hurriedly rushed forward and said

: "Your Highness, I want to go back to the Confucius Mansion."

Si Mo looked at her for a moment and nodded.

Seeing the prince and the old general walking away, Xiao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, but did he tacitly agree that the old general didn't expose her?

The sun hadn't fully risen just now, so the weather was a bit cool. Now that the sun has shown its face, the heat is getting stronger and stronger.

When Xiao Zhen returned to the Confucius Mansion, she was already covered in sweat, but before she could go back to the stable hut to wipe away her sweat, she was grabbed by Wu Yin and others who were already waiting at the door and questioned her.

"Xiao Zhen, please tell me how you made the prince look at you with admiration?"

"Your Highness also asked Old General Situ to teach you kung fu? It's simply unbelievable."

"What kind of bad luck did you get?"

Looking at the arms they grabbed and pulling them aside, Xiao Zhen broke free from their restraints and said, "I didn't say anything, I didn't do anything, and shit luck suddenly happened."

"Don't believe it."

"I really don't believe it."

"This is true." Xiao Zhen was also puzzled: "But I can feel that His Highness likes me quite a lot."

Wu Yin, Zhao Jie, and Zhang Liu approached Xiao Zhen and looked up and down.

In the past, Xiao Zhen might have avoided it, first because of the differences between men and women, and secondly, because he was afraid that they would discover his daughter's body. Now he is used to letting them look at her, with his hands folded in front of his chest and his eyebrows raised.

"You're a lucky kid." Wu Yin could only come to this conclusion in the end. They had been working together for so many years but they still hadn't managed to find a personal guard. The moment this guy showed up, he was so infuriating.

Just as the three of them were talking about Xiao Zhen, Xiao Xia's excited voice came from the other side: "Brother A Zhen, you are finally back, but you worry me to death."

When Xiao Zhen looked towards Xiao Xia, a petite figure had already jumped into her arms. In order to prevent her from falling, Xiao Zhen naturally opened his arms and hugged her: "Be careful."

As soon as Xiaoxia saw Wu Yin and the others next to her, she immediately put her hands on her hips and said with a fierce look on her face: "You guys secretly ate the mung bean cake I left for Brother A Zhen early in the morning, and now you are here to bully Brother A Zhen."

, too bad.”

"Sister Xiaoxia, don't be so stingy. We and you, Ah Zhen, are brothers. What's the point of eating a few pieces of mung bean cake?" Wu Yin laughed.

"Have Xiaoxia made mung bean cake?" Xiao Zhen was thinking about the weather and could cook some mung beans to eat to relieve the heat.

Xiaoxia shook her head: "I didn't do it, it was sister Nianyu who brought it."

"Nian Yu? Third Young Master Han is here?" Xiao Zhen remembered Nian Yu and was quite impressed. When talking about her, he naturally thought of Third Young Master Han.

"Have you met this disciple of the Master?" Zhang Liu looked familiar when Xiao Zhen talked about the Third Young Master Han.

Xiao Zhen told the story of how he met Han Ziran while helping him in the hotel.

"The imperial examination will be held soon. From today on, Young Master Han will live in the Confucius Mansion until the examination begins." Wu Yindao.

"The Third Young Master Han has always been regarded as a genius by the Master. It doesn't matter if you say he is smart, this smart man works harder than others. If we compare with him, we will be in the sky and on the earth." Zhang Liu shook his head, with a look of inferiority on his face.

Zhao Jie burst out laughing and patted Zhang Liu on the shoulder: "It's rare to see you appreciate someone so much."

Xiao Xia on the side stuck out her tongue: "I don't like Third Young Master Han, but Miss Nian Yu is so nice. Every time she comes to the Master's Mansion, she brings me delicious things and makes a lot of delicious snacks."

"I think so too." Wu Yin, Zhao Jie, Zhang Liu and others all said in unison when they mentioned Miss Nian Yu, their eyes lit up.

Xiao Zhen: ""

This was the second time that Xiao Zhen met the third son of the Han family. She went to her husband to report what happened last night. In a pavilion, she saw the third son of Han playing chess with his wife. The young man's too handsome face always had a hint of three things.

Partly pale, three parts gloomy, and four parts sparse, the slender fingers with clear joints picked up the white piece and gently dropped it on the corner of the chessboard.

A pair of handsome teachers and beauties were playing chess in a pavilion in the blooming garden. It was so pleasing to the eye. Xiao Zhen looked at it with a smile. Suddenly an unhappy look came towards him. Looking along the line of sight, Xiao Zhen saw Nian.

Jade girl, Nian Jade girl's dress

It is not as simple as the one in the inn. Although it is not a gorgeous dress, it is still a fine cotton gauze dress that ordinary people are not willing to wear. She has an oval face and almond eyes. She has changed her hair into a bun, and the delicate look of Xiaojiabiyu has faded away.

He looks more generous and showy.

The next moment, Miss Nian Yu blocked Xiao Zhen's gaze towards the third son of the Han family and glared at her angrily.

Xiao Zhen: ""

The master saw her and smiled softly and said, "Xiao Zhen is back? His Royal Highness asked you to be on duty in the palace last night. There should be nothing wrong, right?"

Xiao Zhen hurriedly walked to the pavilion, clasped his fists towards the Master and said, "Master, everything is fine."

"When you have finished packing, go to the accountant to get some money, and then live in the palace." The master lost another son.

Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, and it was right to think about it. Since His Highness asked her to be his personal bodyguard, she would naturally live in the palace: "Yes. Master, can I return to Master's Mansion often? You are here,

There is Xiao Xia, there is the housekeeper, and there is Aunt Feng, who is also the villain's home."

The Master looked at her with a smile: "The Master's Mansion will always be your home."

Xiao Zhen's face lit up with joy: "I thank you, Master."

The third son of the Han family never looked at her from beginning to end, as if there were only chess pieces in his world. On the other hand, Nian Yu's expression softened a little. She originally thought that this man was looking at her son, her family.

The young master has a broken leg, and outsiders always look at her strangely. She doesn't want the young master to be disturbed by outsiders' eyes. It seems that she is overthinking it. This man should be waiting for his wife.

After Xiao Zhen left, Young Master Han, who was playing chess, glanced at her back. A trace of doubt flashed in his dark eyes, but it quickly disappeared and he concentrated on playing chess again.

After returning to the Concubine's Mansion, Wu Yin and the others naturally would not let Xiao Zhen return to the palace so quickly, so they brought more than a dozen jars of rice wine over to celebrate her rise to prominence.

What made Xiao Zhen dumbfounded was that Xiao Xia and Nanny Feng actually ordered several plates of side dishes for them, and the house manager also contributed his oil-pressed mangosteen.

Seven people gathered around an Eight Immortals table and started eating, drinking, talking and laughing.

This meal lasted all afternoon. By the end, Zhang Liu, Wu Yin, Zhao Jie, and the house manager were all drunk. Even Xiao Xia drank and slept leaning on the table with her cheeks red. Grandma Feng didn't know how to drink.

I haven't drank yet and will start clearing the table.

After Xiao Zhen carried Xiao Xia into the room and let her sleep, he took out the paper he had just bought on the street and took the charcoal placed under the bed to write a letter home. He was thinking about what he should do.

When I wrote home to tell him about the situation, my eyes suddenly sank and I turned around quickly. However, there was no one behind me, but I felt a cold sensation on my neck, as if I had been stung by something, and I fainted the next moment.
