Spoiled Wife - C30
Lian Qiuwei was the first to receive the news. Since she knew she couldn’t hide it, she might as well tell the wangfei in advance so she would be mentally prepared.
“Princess, the prince is back.” Princess Hua-Yang was still young, but she wouldn’t be old until next year. At this time, she wouldn’t be able to serve the prince, and even if he took in a concubine and took over the room, but knowing was one thing, seeing her young miss being wronged was another.
The young lady was already wronged when she got married, but now that Prince Duanren had finally woken up, before they could develop any feelings, the prince had already brought one from the palace. This was to sincerely prevent the young lady from having a good time.
The good impression that the Main yard who had requested for the Royal Consort to move to Cang Lan Yuan all turned into ashes at this moment. A gust of wind blew past, scattering all over the place and disappearing without a trace.
Her young mistress was so good, yet was always humiliated, thinking that once she was married, she could escape from the underserved place of the Shang Shu Manor. She didn’t expect that she would come out and hide in a den of tigers and wolves, and just jump from one pit to another without any difference in nature. No, it’s not as bad as the Shang Shu Manor, at least there wasn’t so much trouble for you in the Shang Shu Manor, what about now?
Shen Qi looked up and saw that the servant who was usually so talkative was actually hesitating to speak. He couldn’t help but be curious, “What’s going on?”
“Miss, don’t be angry. His Royal Highness might have been forced to do so.” Lian Qiong tried to make her words easier to accept as she took the initiative to speak up for King Duanren.
Shen Qi was even more suspicious, what was this? And the prince was forced? What a joke, who could force his lordship to do so?
Seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, Shen Qi sighed helplessly, “Alright, tell me what it is, don’t stutter, this isn’t your style.”
Shuangwei just threw caution to the wind, closed her eyes and said: “The prince came back from the palace with a beauty.”
Zi Zhu was pouring some water for Shen Qi, but upon hearing this, his hands trembled and almost dropped the cup. Zi Li and Bai Zhi were still practicing their magic, when they heard this, they stopped what they were doing and looked at Shen Qi.
However, Shen Qi didn’t seem to mind, she smiled and looked at them, “Sigh, how big of a deal did I think it was? “So be it. It can’t affect our lives anyway.”
“Miss, do you not understand what this servant is saying?” “How is this not related to you?” This servant said that the prince had brought back a beauty who wanted to take her in. How could it have nothing to do with us? ”
They thought that this time, the young miss would understand what they were saying, but in the end, Shen Qi still smiled indifferently, “So what if they are, can we stop them? “Besides, I am not too old yet. This kind of thing will happen sooner or later.”
Lian Qiuyu and the others didn’t say anything. That’s right, Miss hasn’t even reached her age yet, how could the Prince wait for Miss? But they still felt wronged. For the sake of their young mistress, why not? After being married off to someone else, now that you just got off, you turn around and start looking for a woman.
“Miss, this servant is feeling wronged on your behalf.” At that time, the young miss wanted to change her environment to live a better life, but it seemed like it wasn’t going to work now.
You should know better than anyone how this Queen’s Consort of mine got her. Even though His Majesty had bestowed the marriage upon me, at that time, the prince was still unconscious, so it’s normal if he didn’t like me. How could I not let him find some true love after marrying a princess that he didn’t like? “Then this prince is too wronged.” Shen Qi said with a smile.
If the assassin hadn’t entered her bedroom, she might still have held onto a trace of her fantasy. Now that everything had been destroyed, it would be the perfect moment to give up and live a good life. It would be great if she could live a peaceful life.
Even Zi Li and the others were about to cry for their young miss. The little girls were also speechless. The little miss was right, that was the prince, what could they do? However, their moods were somewhat dejected.
They had originally thought that the freshmen would have bright prospects ahead of them, but before they could even set off, they had already been splashed with cold water by reality.
Thus, when Prince Xian returned, he found that the usually friendly maids were all distant and indifferent. They were somewhat similar to his young mistress, but the wangfei’s expression didn’t change and he raised an eyebrow. What was going on?
Shen Qi saw that these girls didn’t even try to hide their displeasure and directly expressed it to the Duke, so she was a little afraid that they would get into trouble and get kicked out of the Palace.
“You guys can leave first. There’s no need to wait on me here.” Shen Qi laughed and said, using his eyes to signal for them to quickly leave.
The few servants left the room one by one, Shen Qi went forward to help Duke Duan take off his court uniform, and helped him change his husband’s clothes like a wife, causing his eyes to soften.
“Does Your Highness feel unwell?” Should I ask the imperial physician to come and take a look? ” Shen Qi took a step back after taking the clothes, then turned and hung up his uniform, and asked with a smile.
“This King is fine.” When Shen Qi used the wet kernels to wipe his face, she actually felt that they had a very good teamwork, like an old couple who had lived together for dozens of years. This idea made him feel a little happy.
But for Shen Qi, it was not that beautiful, because she found that she did not know what to say next. She would not ask him what to do with the beauty he brought back, because the Prince did not want her to do anything, and she would not find trouble with him. So it ended like this, and just as the atmosphere was about to turn cold, Shen Qi could only casually ask: “Has the Prince ever eaten?”
“I used it to accompany my mother in the palace.” “Mother was bestowed with a palace maid from the Duke’s Mansion. This woman is proficient in the art of cooking, especially medicine and food, and the taste is not bad. This king had wanted her to come to the Duke’s Mansion to cook for a period of time as well, so I brought her back with me.” This was also a disguised explanation of the beauty he brought back.
Shen Qi only smiled. Most likely, the empress dowager had not only asked her to make medicinal food, but she had also brought him back with her. She had nothing else to say, “Your Highness, it’s good as long as you feel better.”
King Xian frowned. He couldn’t be thinking too much again, right? Thinking of how the maidservant had treated him when he had first entered the room, Prince Xian knew that the wangfei must have known about the matter of him bringing back a palace maid and had misunderstood his intentions.
The wangfei had been on guard against him to begin with, so this misunderstanding couldn’t be further deepened. Thus, for the first time ever, she explained, “This duke feels that you’re too young to be picky with food. It’s good to have her treat you up for a while.” What he didn’t say was that you were too thin.
These words made Shen Qi raise her eyebrows, was she using her cover to recruit someone? How shameless, when did I pick a dish and look for a good one for a reason?
I really had seen the wrong person. I thought that he would be a man who would dare to do as he please, but I never thought that he would also be so hypocritical that he covered the ridicule in his eyes. Shen Qi said with a face full of smiles, “Many thanks to you, your highness.
He felt that it was because he was not familiar with her that she would act in such a casual manner. How could he know that Shen Qi was normally a person who was easy to support? At this moment, he only thought that Shen Qi was just a hypocrite who was trying to find an excuse. If Duke Xian knew that he was being misunderstood, he would definitely suffocate to death with a mouthful of old blood.
Other than Shen Qi and a few servants bringing back such a beauty for King Duanren, even Mo Zhong and the others thought so. Although they felt that it wasn’t good for the Duke to slap her face so blatantly, since he had already brought her back, they should make sure of it. Although they sympathized with her, the masters of the King’s Mansion were still the Duke.
The Zhonbo and the Jiang mama discussed for a while before they arranged for Lan Xin to stay at the Qin Lan Yuan Institute. The Qin Lan Institution was not far from the Main yard, and because there were many orchids planted there, it gained its name.
The courtyard had the word “Lan” as if it was specially prepared for Lan Xin, who immediately liked it when she saw the Zhonbo. Seeing Zhonbo being so courteous to her, she thought that the Prince had specially chosen this courtyard for her because he liked her, and Lan Xin became even more joyous.
She knew that the current Queen’s Consort was just like a bride who had rushed over. Although she had never met anyone before, she knew that the prince definitely did not like it, otherwise, he would not have brought her back to slap her face right after waking up.
The beauty that Duke Xian brought back from the palace was named Lan Xin, and was currently assigned to the Qin Lan Institute. With such an outstanding intelligence agent like Forge, the news immediately spread to Shen Qi’s ears, and Shen Qi could only smile faintly.
No matter whether it was the Duke’s deliberate arrangements, or his servants’ guesses, Shen Qi couldn’t decide whether or not the Duke meant what he did. As the mistress of the Duke’s Palace, the beauty brought back by Prince Duanren directly went over to her trusted aides to arrange this matter, and it was already slapping her in the face.
This meant that King Xian didn’t trust and didn’t like her. No matter what King Duanren thought, the outside world would definitely think the same way. Of course, Shen Qi and the others wouldn’t be excluded.
Thus, no matter if it was as a compensation or a simple reward, the empress dowager ordered people to send endless amounts of medicine and supplements to the King’s Mansion.
Shen Qi didn’t think that she could take all these for herself, so she went to ask for instructions on how the king should arrange things. King Xian looked at Shen Qi with a strange expression in her eyes, “Of course you can decide on the things that mother will bestow to you. There is no need to ask for instructions from this duke.”
When Shen Qi heard this, she did not care about it at all. Thus, Shen Qi waved her hand and ordered the purple bamboo to create a record before putting it in the warehouse. Although she did not lack those things, no one would complain about the money.
With the emperor’s bestowal, the empress dowager’s bestowal and the empress dowager’s bestowal, Shen Qi’s little storage room was once again filled up. Even if she didn’t do anything else in her next life, it would be enough for her to spend her entire life on.
What was a man? What can’t money do? And what Shen Qi had was money.
