Chapter 199
The three sat down as the guest of honor.

Princess Changle asked curiously, "What musical instrument does Mr. Shen like?"

There are many musical instruments in the world, each of which has a unique melody, but if Shen Ning were to choose, Xiao would be the only one.

The timbre of Xiao is mellow and soft, quiet and elegant, with a sense of elegance and freedom.

However, Shen Ning doesn't like to play by himself, and thinks that a beautiful woman is the most suitable instrument for flute.

Hearing Shen Ning's answer, Princess Changle's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "I am proficient in the flute, if there is a chance someday, I will definitely play it once and let Mr. Shen listen to it."

Shen Ning looked at her pink lips and nodded.

Yang Jian on the side couldn't help interjecting: "Princess, my favorite musical instrument is the drum. When you kill the enemy on the battlefield, the sound of the drum is the trumpet. You are invincible and indomitable!"

Princess Changle glanced at him, but said nothing.

Shen Ning couldn't let the situation go cold, so she could only respond.

Unexpectedly, Yang Jian worked harder and spit all over the place, which made Princess Changle who was already tired of him even more displeased, so he came up with an idea to lure him away.

"My son-in-law, I want to drink the sour plum soup that you personally bought!" Princess Changle laughed.

Immediately, Yang Jian was infected by Princess Changle's smile, stood up quickly, patted his chest and shouted: "Princess, wait a moment, I'll go buy it now!"

Shen Ning was speechless.

Here again, Princess Changle simply played Yang Jian for a fool, and Yang Jian was very happy.

"Consort, I'll go with you." Shen Ning said to avoid suspicion.

Yang Jian refused: "No need! Brother Shen stay here and talk poetry with the princess, I'll do it!"

After finishing speaking, Yang Jian flew out.

For a moment, only Shen Ning and Princess Changle were left in the room.

Princess Changle stood up and came over, sat next to Shen Ning, and asked with an affectionate look on her face: "Mr. Shen, you like to listen to the flute. How about I play it to you today? From now on, I will only play it to you!"

"Okay!" Shen Ning nodded, subconsciously touched the belt.

Unexpectedly, Princess Changle got up and came to the Bogu shelf, took a bamboo flute, and started her performance.

The sound of the flute is graceful and ethereal, but for some reason, Shen Ning feels it is not fragrant
After the flute was finished, Princess Changle asked: "Shen Lang, how is my flute?"

"Not bad, not bad." Shen Ning smiled, but he couldn't tell her that the object he was blowing was wrong.

Princess Changle was overjoyed and put the bamboo flute back.

At this time, Shen Ning remembered what Zhao Qingxuan asked him to do last night, and felt that he could use Princess Changle, so he said, "Your Highness, I don't know if I should say something."

"Just call me Changle. Is there anything we can't talk about? Tell me." Princess Changle asked.

Shen Ning said: "During this period of time, guarding the palace and being able to protect His Majesty, this is what His Majesty attaches great importance to me, so I am sincere, and I am unwilling to turn a blind eye to some facts."

"What happened?" Princess Changle hurriedly asked when she heard that it was related to her father.

Shen Ning said: "Princess, what I said next is disrespectful, if His Majesty finds out, it must be a death penalty."

"Are you still not at ease in front of me?" Princess Changle smiled.

Shen Ning nodded, and said: "Recently, Your Majesty often goes to Concubine Yan's place, and seems to be taking a medicinal powder called Zuixian Powder. This medicine is different from elixir. The potency of the medicine is weird, it made His Majesty excited, but afterwards he was extremely exhausted, like a drunken fairy dying from drunkenness."

"Really?" Princess Changle asked again.

"How could I lie to you?" Shen Ning responded.

Princess Changle frowned slightly, and said: "Of course I believe what you said. If it is true, I must take care of this matter. I will enter the palace tomorrow."

"Princess, this matter has to be discussed in a long-term way. I may be wrong. If the princess misunderstood, wouldn't I provoke the relationship between the princess and the concubine Yan? When the time comes, His Majesty will be caught in the middle, and I will be blamed for my narrow death. "Shen Ning said hastily.

Princess Changle nodded, and then asked: "You have always been resourceful, do you have a good idea?"

Shen Ning pretended to ponder, thought for a while, and then said: "Princess, look at this, why don't you go to Concubine Yan's, if you can get some Zuixian powder, I will find someone to check its medicinal properties, if there is really a problem, then the princess will come back Report to His Majesty, if there is no problem, just pretend nothing happened. How does the princess feel?"

"It's still your thoughtfulness. It's a good idea. I'll do as you said. Tomorrow I will enter the palace and make some drunken fairy powder." Princess Changle nodded.

Seeing her plan succeed, Shen Ning secretly smiled.

After talking about the business, Princess Changle suddenly leaned her head on Shen Ning's shoulder and asked, "Shen Lang, when will we be together in an open and honest manner?"

Shen Ning put his arms around her shoulders, and said: "The Yang family is a big mountain in front of us. Sometimes when I think about it, I wish I could destroy the Yang family so that His Majesty won't stop us."

Princess Changle suddenly raised her head and said solemnly: "Why don't we destroy the Yang family?"

Shen Ning was shocked, I was just playing tricks, but I didn't expect Princess Changle to be so ruthless, she wanted to destroy the Yang family in order to marry her, that is a high-ranking clan with a deep foundation, how can she be a princess who wants to be destroyed?
"Princess, don't be joking, with our means, how can we do it?" Shen Ning sighed.

Princess Changle said: "Not only us, but also helpers."

This time it was Shen Ning's turn to be curious, and asked, "Who is it?"

"My aunt, Princess Yiyang!" Chang Le replied.

Hearing that it was his mother made Shen Ning even more alert, and continued to ask: "I don't quite understand, what does the princess mean?"

Chang Le sighed: "You should have heard of the Shen family. The Shen family, a high-ranking family in the imperial capital, was executed because of something happened to Shen Lie, and Shen Lie is my uncle. Over the years, my aunt has been imprisoned by my father. In the palace, I was able to live back in the Shen Mansion this year. Although so much time has passed, my aunt must have never given up on revenge. You may not know that when something happened to the Shen family, it was the current head of the Yang family, and now the minister, Yang Yanfeng, who framed him . So my aunt must want to take revenge. My aunt loves me very much. My mother died early, and she is like my mother, so dealing with the Yang family is not only for our happiness, but also for my aunt."

Shen Ning nodded and said: "It turns out that there are still such tortuous grievances, but with our means, even Princess Yiyang can't destroy the Yang family. The Yang family has too much background, let alone us, it is Your Majesty, don't dare to do it lightly."

Princess Changle nodded, but then he suddenly said mysteriously: "Do you know why the Yang family wanted to frame the Shen family back then?"

Shen Ning was stunned.

Why did Yang Yanfeng destroy the Shen family?

According to his mother's explanation, it was Shen Lie who tried to abolish the nine-rank Zhongzheng system in order to benefit the imperial court, and replaced it with a method of selecting talents.

"I don't know." Shen Ning shook his head pretending not to know.

Princess Changle lowered her voice and said something that surprised Shen Ning.
