Spoiled Wife - C27
Yan Yi pursed his lips, “Yes, actually, they also know that they will definitely not succeed like this, but they just want to make you ashamed.”
Consort De had always wanted to use this kind of method to humiliate her. She knew what she hated the most, so she also knew that this wouldn’t happen, but she just wanted to be disgusted with herself, like how she demanded an imperial decree from her father back then. She wanted to be disgusted by you forever like a fly.
“Prince?” Seeing that Duke Xian was deep in thought, Yan Yi interrupted him, and waited for him to recover his senses before saying: “At the beginning, Zhang Haocheng was unwilling to admit it. He even said a lot of things that were bad for the wife.” It was not just unpleasant to the ear, it was also an insult, but it was absolutely not something that could be said in front of the prince.
King Xian sighed inwardly. “I know what I’m doing.”
Although Duke Xian had said it like that, Yan Yi did not forget to speak up for Shen Qi, “My prince, our people did not take too long to get in, and when we entered, wangfei’s clothes were tidy, her hair was not messy, but Zhang Haocheng had already covered his lower body and was lying on the ground. Wangfei had hidden a dog beating stick on the bed.”
King Xian waved his hand and let Yan Yi out. “This King is not confused.” When Yan Yi left the room, he thought about how his little wangfei had actually hidden a lackey on the bed, and he couldn’t help but smile. Interesting!
Shen Qi fell asleep for three-quarters of an hour, and when she woke up, she was still in a daze, so she didn’t know what time it was.
Zi Zhu Zi Li hurriedly came over to help her get dressed. Shen Qi waved her hand: “There’s no need to trouble yourself.
“It’s been a whole day since you’ve had anything to eat.” Zi Zhu asked with some concern.
“Let the kitchen prepare it. I want to eat chicken noodle soup.” Shen Qi still felt a little hungry, so he instructed them.
“Ai, your servant will send it over immediately.” Zi Zhu said happily before immediately arranging everything.
After Shen Qi finished bathing, she used her hands to tear the chicken noodle soup into pieces. After watering it for four hours, she mixed the chicken soup with small spring onions and sprinkled a spoonful of red oil on top of the fried golden peanut crumbs. The fragrance could be smelt from far away.
“Princess Consort, you don’t know, but Prince ordered Jiang mama and Housekeeper Zhong to clean up Cang Lan Yuan, he said that it was you who wanted to move there.” The one who replied was Forou, her tone full of excitement.
Shen Qi frowned, “Is it Main yard?” She asked with uncertainty, “Isn’t the Main yard King living here?”
“That’s right, that’s what the prince ordered me to do.” Lingtong’s face was also full of confusion.
Shen Qi frowned as she thought, what was he trying to do? Seeing her like this, Wang Ma advised, “Esteemed wangfei, this is a good thing. You can take care of the prince at a close distance and also leave a bad impression of him.” She wanted Shen Qi to interact more with King Duanren. After all, all of Shen Qi’s future guarantees would be decided by King Duanren.
Zi Zhu and the others nodded as well. “That’s right, consort Wang.” They didn’t understand why the wangfei didn’t have the slightest bit of excitement on her face. Instead, she seemed to have something weighing heavily on her mind.
What could Shen Qi say now? She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry in her heart. She didn’t know what exactly King Duanren wanted to do, but she was certain it wasn’t because he liked her.
Forget it, since it has already come to this, who cares how we go about it? “We’ve already moved everything over?” She was referring to her dowry or something.
“Yes, Main yard specially found a storage room for the princess to leave her dowry, and left the key at Wang Ma’s place.” The bamboo replied.
Oh, that’s right. Also, the Prince has sent someone over to tell you to move in tonight. This servant will take a look. Zi Zhu added.
At this time, there was no one who had the right to speak for themselves. Shen Qi knew that she could only obey, “I understand.” Then she looked at them and asked, “You’ve cleaned up your place?”
“Everything has been tidied up. The bedding and mattresses have all been replaced with new ones. This servant has gone to take a look, but has been softened.” Lingtong said happily.
Just as they were talking, they heard the voice of the column coming from outside. Shen Qi rather liked this clever servant, hence, she smiled and asked him to come in to talk.
“This little one pays respects to the wangfei.” column walked in happily and greeted Shen Qi with a smile.
“Exempt from the formalities, is there anything that column is here for?” Shen Qi asked with a smile.
Seeing that the princess was treating him warmly, column was quite happy. He had stolen this task himself, so the princess was kind and generous.
The column chuckled and said, “Esteemed wangfei, Your Highness has instructed me to invite you to Cang Lan Yuan for a meal.”
Shen Qi’s expression did not change at all, but she could not help but mutter in her heart, as she found it harder and harder to understand this prince’s way of doing things. The majority of the rumors about him were about how savage he was, and how she died before even reaching the gates, the rest were all about how the empress dowager and the emperor valued him, if there was too much of it, it would be gone.
Therefore, Shen Qi smiled and said: “Got it, I will be there shortly.”
column happily reported back to King Duan after hearing this. On the other side, Shen Qi packed up and brought the servants to Cang Lan Yuan.
He didn’t know what the prince was planning, but after getting along with him for a long time, he would at least expose some flaws.
As a result, it was always the soup that helped him recover. When Shen Qi came over, he saw the medicine cuisine and the soup in front of him, and the four big words “will not help you” suddenly appeared in his head.
Shen Qi felt that his death wouldn’t be too far off if she were to say it out loud, so she covered up her true thoughts and took up the poise of a wangfei to pay her respects to Duke Xian, “Chenqie greets Your Highness.”
Of course, Zi Zhu and the others also followed suit and saluted. Duke Xian indifferently swept a glance at Shen Qi, and said without any emotion in his voice, “Exemption from saluting, there’s no need to be like this in the future.” Seeing that Shen Qi had agreed, she waved her hands at Zi Zhu and the others and said: “You may all go, there is no need to wait on me here.”
Shen Qi could not help but raise her eyebrows. What did she mean? To be served by him? When Zi Zhu and the others saw Shen Qi nod her head before bowing and retreating, Duke Xian looked at the maidservants and sized them up without batting an eyelid.
Duke Xian did not have any maids to serve him, and now that he had dismissed Shen Qi’s maidservants, Shen Qi could only wait on him.
He rolled up his sleeves, cleaned his hands, and then picked up the unused rice chopsticks to serve the dish, although he could only eat a few of them.
He had been in the military camp and had always done it himself, but he had never thought that this little wangfei would serve him. Could it be that she misunderstood and sent her maidservant away to let her personally serve him?
After eating the dishes that Shen Qi gave him, she said to him, “You don’t need to prepare the dishes specially for me. There aren’t that many rules here, sit down and eat.” As she spoke, he pointed to the opposite side.
Shen Qi was actually not hungry at all, but she had to eat with the King, so she picked up her chopsticks and used some of them. When Duke Xian saw that she not only ate less like a cat, but was also extremely picky, he couldn’t help but frown.
When Duke Xiang put down the chopsticks, Shen Qi immediately stopped eating. Duke Xian also realized that Shen Qi did not want to eat anymore, but she still frowned in her heart, she had eaten too little!
In this era, the most beautiful women were all slim and graceful, the most important thing was to look weak and willowy. Most of the noble women, in order to maintain their figure, would deliberately take a diet, but this most definitely did not include Shen Qi.
In her previous life or now, she had never eaten for the sake of losing weight. Unhealthy was just one aspect, but she also had a physique that made people jealous and envious of her. That was, she was born not to be fat.
Before coming to Cang Lan Yuan, she had already eaten a big bowl of chicken noodle soup. It would not be normal if she could still eat at this time.
Shen Qi took the tea in the servant’s hands and watched as the servant brought in a bowl of black liquid. It looked very bitter at first glance, but Duke Xiang drank it all in a single breath without blinking, and then he directly rinsed the tea in his mouth with water and drank two mouthfuls.
Shen Qi could not help but have a bitter face, then how did she take it all in? What she was most afraid of was taking medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine at this time. The strange smell made people feel nauseous and bitter to the point that their tongue couldn’t stick out. Just thinking about it made it difficult for her to swallow.
Duke Xian had been secretly observing Shen Qi’s expression the whole time, but when he saw her look that way while taking her medicine, he couldn’t help but soften her expression, and used his cup to cover his curled lips. In his heart, he thought that she had finally revealed the expression that a young girl of her age should have, and it was only because of that that that she was completely revived.
Previously, when he was carrying her dignified and self-contained appearance, it caused everyone to gnash their teeth in anger. He was young to begin with and yet, he insisted on carrying her composed and calm appearance.
After dinner, King Duan went back to his room to rest. At this time, Shen Qi was in a dilemma, what should she do? If King Duo was resting in Main yard, what about me?
