Mrs. Zhenbei sighed helplessly and motioned to the maid to put away the books on the table.
"This is the general's book. In addition to training soldiers and martial arts on weekdays, the general likes to study these things in his study and talk about the great wisdom of his ancestors."
"The reason why I am holding this polo match today is to pull the general out of his study. Reading these books every day makes people talk."
Shen Luoxi smiled and said, "Madam has put a lot of thought into the general. The general must understand Madam's painstaking efforts."
Mrs. Zhenbei waved her hand, "That's not what the general thinks. Don't look at him playing polo happily now. In fact, he is still thinking about these books."
After saying that, she glanced at General Zhenbei who jumped off his horse.
"Look, he stopped fighting after only half an hour."
Shen Luoxi turned around to look, and a moment later General Zhenbei came to them.
"The general plays polo very well," she praised.
When General Zhenbei heard this, he glanced at her, replied coldly, and then his eyes fell on the empty low table.
He was stunned and hurriedly asked: "Madam, where is my book?"
Mrs. Zhenbei glared at him angrily, "I asked the maid to put them away. You finally came out, but you are still thinking about those books."
Although she was unwilling, she still asked the maid to take out the book.
As soon as the maid carefully took out the book, General Zhenbei snatched it away immediately.
He took the sweat towel and wiped the sweat while turning the pages of the book, as if the noise around him had nothing to do with him.
Mrs. Zhenbei couldn't stop him and had no choice but to let him go. Mrs. Zhenbei looked at Shen Luoxi and said, "That's how he is. Once he reads a book, he will be immersed in it and no one will leave it."
Shen Luoxi didn't take it seriously, but said with a smile: "Actually, I also have some insights into Zhouyi. If Madam is willing, I can take a look at it for Madam."
While she was speaking, although she was looking at Mrs. Zhenbei, her peripheral vision was paying attention to General Zhenbei.
She saw General Zhenbei's ears twitching after hearing her words.
"Seriously?" Mrs. Zhenbei looked at her in surprise, then stretched out her hand to push General Zhenbei, "General, come and let Princess Xuan take a look. If there is something you don't understand, Princess Xuan can explain it to you. .”
General Zhenbei frowned, "How do you know whether what she said is true or false? I don't believe that a woman can have such great wisdom."
His tone did not hide his contempt and disdain. Mrs. Zhenbei had no choice but to look at Shen Luoxi apologetically, "Don't take it to heart, Princess Xuan. The general only said that since he has never seen your ability."
Shen Luoxi smiled nonchalantly, "Madam is right, as long as the general gives me a chance to prove it, the general will never say such a thing."
General Zhenbei sneered and put the book aside.
"Since Princess Xuan is so confident, I will give you a chance to prove yourself." He looked Shen Luoxi up and down. "If Princess Xuan tries to do everything in front of me, an expert, I will not show mercy to you."
General Zhenbei's voice was loud. After hearing his words, many people looked at Shenluoxi curiously.
"What happened?"
"Princess Xuan seems to be provoking the general. I didn't expect Princess Xuan to be so courageous. If something happens, His Highness Prince Xuan will definitely not help her."
Everyone looked at Cang Yunxuan and Ning Yanran with their peripheral vision, and saw that the two were talking affectionately, paying no attention to what was happening here.
Ning Yanran noticed everyone's gaze and leaned delicately on Cang Yunxuan, "Your Majesty, why did everyone suddenly look at us like that?"
"Did my sister say something to them? I am afraid..."
Cang Yunxuan put his arms around her shoulders to comfort her, but out of the corner of his eye, he kept paying attention to Shenluo Creek.
His eyes flashed, Shen Luoxi had some tricks up his sleeve.
At this time, Shen Luoxi had already asked General Zhenbei to extend his hand.
She smiled and asked: "What do you want to ask, General? I can talk to the General about the past or the future."
General Zhenbei didn't believe her at all, so he said casually: "Tell me about what happened in the past. It is best if only I am the one involved. This will also prove that you are truly capable."
When the officials and family members who gathered around to watch the excitement heard this, they all laughed in unison.
"How could Princess Xuan know something that only the general knows?"
"I just made it up if I didn't know. Anyway, she is the one who is embarrassed."
Everyone was waiting to see Shen Luoxi's joke, but her expression did not change at all, and she still wore a confident smile.
"This is not a difficult matter." Shen Luoxi looked at General Zhenbei and said, "Judging from his appearance, the general has a confidante, but she is a married woman."
"Judging from the marriage thread on the general's hand, it should have been severed two years ago."
After Shen Luoxi finished speaking, General Zhenbei's expression suddenly changed. He immediately looked at the others and saw that they were all looking at him in surprise.
Mrs. Zhenbei, in particular, looked at him with both disbelief and sadness.
General Zhenbei hurriedly explained: "Madam, Princess Xuan said nonsense, I have never done such a thing!"
Shen Luoxi remained silent, just looking at him quietly.
"I never thought the general would do such a thing."
"Keep it down!"
General Zhenbei talked desperately to Mrs. Zhenbei, and Mrs. Zhenbei just took a deep breath and barely maintained the smile on her face, "You guys continue to play, don't take what just happened to your heart."
"I have only one request. I hope you don't tell anyone about the gossip you just had."
She glanced at the officials and their families. They nodded hurriedly and then dispersed.
After Mrs. Zhenbei took care of everything, she looked at Shen Luoxi again, "Princess Xuan, is this true?"
Shen Luoxi glanced at General Zhenbei and saw him looking at him pleadingly. Shen Luoxi naturally knew what to do.
"The past is gone. Madam should pay attention to the present." She said calmly: "Madam and the general have a mutual support for each other, and they are each other's blessings. They cannot be separated."
"In the future, the general will not only give his wife a royal wife."
Mrs. Zhenbei was shocked when she heard this.
She looked around, beckoned to the maids, and asked them to guard the surroundings so that no one could eavesdrop.
After ensuring that everything was safe, she looked at Shen Luoxi seriously, "I don't quite understand what Princess Xuan means."
Shen Luoxi smiled and said, "Good birds choose trees to roost in, and wise ministers choose their masters to serve."
After that, she stopped answering.
Mrs. Zhenbei looked at her deeply. Shen Luoxi stood up, nodded slightly, turned around and left the space for General Zhenbei and his wife.
She quickly met Cang Yunxuan's eyes and looked away the next moment.
Their purpose of participating in the polo match today has been completed, and things will change in the court next.
