Chapter 259 Favorability-1
Shen Yan stood there in a daze, staring straight at Zhong Ning, and finally seemed to find a hint of familiarity in those delicate and beautiful eyebrows.
"You...you are..." Shen Yan swallowed his saliva, having a very bold guess in his mind, but he was not sure.
"Didn't recognize him? Or, you don't dare to recognize him?" Zhong Ning asked directly.
Shen Yan still stared at her blankly.
There was no reaction at all.
Zhong Ning clapped his hands, and then several palace servants came over with exquisite dishes and placed them on the table.
Among them, the big bowl placed in the center of the table is the most eye-catching. When the lid of the bowl is opened, the braised rabbit inside is revealed.
A domineering fragrance came, this familiar fragrance made Shen Yan freeze in place instantly. If he only had three-quarters of the guess just now, he now had seven-quarters.
Only Zhong Ning would stew rabbit like this.
It smells so good that one wants to bite off their tongue.
In addition to the braised rabbit meat, there are also steamed pork ribs with rice flour, cold cucumber, a bowl of mixed corn soup, and a large bowl of rice.
"What are you still standing there for? Come and try it. Haven't you missed my cooking after not seeing me for a few months?"
Shen Yan was still standing there in a daze, but his eyes began to turn red.
He thought something happened to her!
He is already prepared. If the princess asks him to do something, he must find a way to ask for grace. Can the princess help him find the person and see where he is?
But he never expected that his former fellow villager was now a princess of the royal family, with a noble status that was beyond his reach.
Zhong Ning took two steps forward and gently waved a pair of delicate hands in front of him. "Shen Yan? Are you okay? Are you seeing an old friend and can't believe it?"
Shen Yan sniffed and said uncomfortably, "Is it fun for Your Highness to tease me?"
"Fun!" Zhong Ning chuckled twice, then turned around and sat back down. "Come here quickly, what are you standing there for?"
"Your humble servant dare not be presumptuous!" Shen Yan replied silently, without moving.
"I asked someone to bring you here because I have something important to discuss. If you don't come, don't you want to know your own life experience?" Zhong Ning looked at him seriously, as if to say, if you don't come, I won't tell you anything.
Curiosity outweighed etiquette, so Shen Yan apologized twice and sat down directly.
"You eat first, I'll tell you a story..." Zhong Ning raised his head slightly and motioned him to pick up his chopsticks.
Shen Yan silently picked up his chopsticks and put a piece of braised rabbit meat into his mouth. The spicy and tender taste immediately aroused his appetite.
At the same time, Zhong Ning's voice came like a stream beside the field.
After a long while, Shen Yan finally came back to his senses from the story. He asked in disbelief, "You're saying that my father is the Duke of Ying? I'm the Duke of Ying's illegitimate son, and my father switched you with the current Crown Prince in an attempt to confuse the royal bloodline?"
"My stepmother is taking this kind of revenge on you and me again?"
"So, the prince in the palace is the legitimate son of Duke Ying, and he's also my younger brother?"
"Your Majesty summoned me back to treat that fake prince?"
Shen Yan muttered to himself, and then thought to himself in a self-deprecating way, yes, if he didn't have such an identity, how could the emperor know the name of a small-headed soldier like him?
He was even given a special decree to recall him to Kyoto.
That's it!
"The Duke of England's Mansion..." Shen Yan asked.
Zhong Ning raised his hand and made himself a cup of hot tea. He said calmly, "They are confusing the royal bloodline and maliciously kidnapping the princess. What do you think they will do?"
Shen Yan was silent for a moment, "Such a heinous crime, all nine clans should be exterminated!"
Although he had no feelings for that so-called family, it was the place that gave him life, so when he said this, his heart still ached instinctively.
"Your Majesty is so gracious that only three of their clans will be exterminated, and you will be granted amnesty!" Zhong Ning spoke bluntly, staring at Shen Yan.
If he had any resentment or desire for revenge, she might not be able to protect him.
Shen Yan smiled faintly, "I guess it was His Highness who spoke up and pleaded for me!"
"You guessed right. I saved your life. From now on, you are Shen Yan, and you have nothing to do with the Fu family."
"Yes, I obey your command!" Shen Yanfu bowed again and said solemnly, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Zhong Ning:........
"Um... I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said just now... Now that we've confirmed our identities, we're cousins. So from now on, I'll treat you as my brother. As long as I'm around, I'll ensure you live a life of peace, happiness, wealth, and freedom from worry!"
Just to repay him for his worry over the past few months and his kindness in risking his whole life to find her.
After hearing this, Shen Yan fell silent. After a long while, he slowly said, "How dare I, a lowly and lowly subject, dream of the princess? I was just talking nonsense. I hope Your Highness will not bear it to heart!"
"That's not what I meant..." Zhong Ning quickly explained, "Cousins are closely related by blood, so they can't get married. It would be detrimental to their offspring..."
It's over. It seems she never planned to have children.
"You are not humble... You are the brother that I care about the most, how can you be humble?" Zhong Ning looked at Shen Yan and said again, "Even if your last name is Shen, you are still the nephew of the current queen and the cousin of the current princess..."
Shen Yan looked up at her, his eyes filled with infinite affection, and asked softly, "Are you getting married?"
"Um... yes, my father has arranged a marriage for me. It's with Prime Minister Gu's legitimate son. We'll get married in three years..."
"The son of Prime Minister Gu is of noble status and is a perfect match for Her Royal Highness the Princess." Shen Yan let out a wry smile and asked, "So... do you like him?"
"I don't hate it... I like it a little..." Zhong Ning turned her face away uncomfortably. "Actually, I'm not a good girl... I'm very fickle. After becoming a princess, I want more... I can't stay with one man, and I disregard chastity. I'm not the right choice for a good man..."
"Did you tell him this?" Shen Yan was a little shocked, but still asked.
"Of course, I told him very clearly that I am not an ordinary woman. I have lovers and I like good-looking men. I will not keep my chastity. If he minds, he can withdraw..."
Shen Yan:..........
Even after hearing this, he still found it a little unbelievable.
Is the person in front of him really the girl he knew in Fengcheng?
[Favorability-1]
Zhong Ning:........
It’s so useful?
She tried again.
"To be honest, I already have a lover. I have one in my house and another outside..."
[Favorability-1]
"I like both of them, but one is too young and still in school, and the other is too strong-willed. He often looks for me at night. He even stayed overnight here the other day..."

[Current favorability level 84]
Very good, it really works.
If she said a few more words, maybe the favorability level would drop back to between 60-70, which would be within the range of normal friends.
