Spring Forest Evening

Being hit like this, neither heavy nor painful, Nanny Shen just subconsciously let out a "hey -", but the woman seemed to be very anxious, and pushed the door into the yard without looking back.

She didn't even say a word, which was a bit impolite, Shen Momo couldn't help but frowned, but she didn't stop the woman just because of that, she just saw that she seemed to be familiar with the way and gently opened the open courtyard door After pushing open a gap and dodging sideways, he raised his head and carefully examined the courtyard wall again, and then said something to Zhou Heng as if talking to himself:

"Strange! It is indeed here. There is a wintersweet tree on the top of the wall, and there is an ancient ginkgo inside. Yes, the princess is waiting for you in this yard. Although I didn't go in just now, I followed the princess here. to find you, but this man..."

After all, she came to see Zhou Heng, and it was in a place like Daxiangguo Temple. In order not to catch anyone's attention, Shen Yi only brought her wet nurse and a personal servant girl with her when she went out, but looking at the back of the man just now, she felt that it was not her. The people brought by the princess.

Zhou Heng thought that Nanny Shen was being cautious, so after thinking about it, he thought of a possibility for her:

"Xu is the nanny in the eldest sister's mansion. Is there something urgent to come to her?"

The nanny of the Hou Mansion, who was also in front of the princess, thought that the three of them standing outside the courtyard wall were ordinary pilgrims, and it was normal not to take it seriously.

Nanny Shen still looked a little skeptical, but her thinking lasted for a while, and then she pulled Zhou Heng's hand resolutely:

"Come on, let's go in and have a look!"

The yard is relatively small. Sure enough, when I walked in, I found a tree at the corner of the gate, which was still full of green leaves. Zhou Heng couldn't tell whether it was the wintersweet tree mentioned by Nanny Shen, but there was indeed a tall tree in the middle of the yard. The ginkgo tree is still green and green under it. It must be beautiful when the ginkgo leaves turn yellow in autumn.

It seems that the princess is really different, it looks like something is crowded outside, but she can still get such a quiet and good place to meet herself.

However, the yard is indeed not big, and because of this, they can see everything at a glance after entering the door, so that the three of them immediately noticed the brown-clothed woman who had just bumped into Nanny Shen, who was standing in the wing room Under the steps in front of the door, I was with a girl dressed as a maid, and when I heard the noise, the two of them turned around in unison.

Nanny Shen naturally recognized Shen Yi's personal servant girl, and greeted her when she saw her, and then pretended to look at the brown-clothed woman standing beside her and asked with some doubts:

"Who is this…?"

Because there was Zhou Heng beside her, Mother Shen was very cautious. What she thought of at the moment was that the person in front of her was probably someone sent by the old lady of Weiyuan Hou Mansion. After all, those people in the yard of her princess She still knew them all, but she must have never seen this person in front of her.

Before the woman in brown clothes could respond, the servant girl winked at Nanny Shen, and at the same time said to the woman impatiently in a low voice:

"I don't care who you are, you come in so rashly and say you want to meet the princess, hmph, the princess is resting now and you don't want to tell me which house you belong to, so you can come and judge, mammy, Where is there such a rule?"

The brown-clothed woman became a little flustered when she heard this, and while apologizing in a low voice, she continued to beg the maid to let her in, but this time she took out something, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and begged the maid to bring it in for Shen Yi to see:

"This is our house... the Princess knows it at a glance."

The three of Shen Momo stood at the gate of the courtyard, neither could see the person's face clearly, nor could she see what was wrapped in her handkerchief, so they were a little curious. Anyway, Shen Yi naturally wanted to see Zhou Heng, so Shen Momo signaled Chuntao was waiting in the yard, she pulled Zhou Heng forward, and asked with a smile:

"I don't know which lady's house sent you to be so anxious. It is said that our princess didn't say hello before going out today. How did you let your sister rush over in time?"

This reminded Zhou Heng, that’s right, Shen Yi just heard from Nanny Shen that Shen Yi rushed over to meet him because she heard that she had come to Daxiangguo Temple. I realized that this is too coincidental, and it seems a little unreasonable.

But if that wasn't the case, given that this person looks like he doesn't want outsiders to know that he has something to do with his identity and wants to have a secret talk with Shen Yi, it wouldn't be...he followed him all the way?

That's a bit thought-provoking, and I don't know where this person came from. Fortunately, he looked like a demanding person. Zhou Heng thought about it, and whispered her opinion in Mammy Shen's ear.

Shen Momo smiled at the maid and said:

"Take it in and show it to the princess, and please inform us."

While speaking, he nuzzled at the back of the woman in brown, implying that he would watch her outside.

The servant girl understood, and said to the woman impatiently:

"Then just wait!"

In fact, the yard is so small, Shen Yi was waiting for Zhou Heng, so she could hear the words outside clearly at this moment, she was already a little curious in her heart, when she saw the maid coming in, she immediately took the handkerchief she brought over, and opened it:

Inside the veil lay a small gold bracelet.

Picking it up and looking at the light from the window, this bracelet looks like an ordinary bracelet worn by babies and children, but the workmanship is quite exquisite, and the nurse who came to see it also said:

"This bracelet... looks a bit like the one that the young master was wearing before, it's the old prince—"

In the middle of saying this, remembering that the old prince had passed away, the nurse quickly stopped talking, but Shen Yi thought of something because of this, her eyebrows twitched, and she ordered the maid who was waiting for the instructions:

"Let her in!"

In a blink of an eye, thinking that Zhou Heng was also outside, he hurriedly ordered:

"...Oh, by the way, let Shen Momo wait outside for a while, and that... girl next to her, let her come in too."

And commanded the nurse:

"Nurse, you and Nanny Shen look outside, and pay attention to the movement outside the yard."

The maid and the wet nurse all went out after receiving the order.

Naturally, Zhou Heng was not surprised that Shen Yi asked him to go in, but the brown-clothed woman seemed to have some important private matter. After entering the door and saluting Shen Yi, she said arbitrarily:

"Presumably the princess already knows the identity of the slave... Madam, please..."

"It's okay," Shen Yi still held the small bracelet in her hand, raised her eyebrows with a half-smile and said, "Your master, don't you just want to use this princess to send a message to Prince Jing?"

Those words made the brown-clothed woman look up in horror, and Zhou Heng looked her up and down in surprise.

Seeing this, Shen Yi beckoned her to come over, and said coldly to the woman:

"She is someone close to the prince, so tell me, your master is so careful, what important message do you want this princess to pass on?"
