Spoiled Wife - C61

It was not a bad idea to say that the Royal Elementary Scholars had issued an edict, but for someone like Yan Wan, who obviously didn’t want to get close to them, it was already a little annoying. Moreover, her mother actually didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with this.

“The Queen Mother has always been happy that her character is lively and lively, and feels that the Prince is too serious. He should have a woman like this by his side to regulate him.” Shen Qi had always known the empress dowager’s intentions. The empress dowager felt that Yan Wan was a straightforward person who was pure and lively, but Shen Qi had always felt that she was pretending.

“What do you think, King Duanren?” Xie Shihan was extremely worried for Shen Qi. If the empress dowager really liked Yan Wan that much, she would have immediately ordered her to become King Duanren’s lateral consort. With the empress dowager’s backing and Duke Duanren’s cousin, Shen Qi’s position as the Queen’s Consort would become awkward.

Selfishness, conceit, self-confidence from who knows where, she was the most attractive person in the world, moreover she was smart, but she was actually so stupid that people would look at her.

“The prince doesn’t seem to know her well. He even said that although she’s his cousin, there’s a difference between males and females. In the future, let me entertain her alone at the mansion.” Shen Qi said with a smile.

Xie Shihan relaxed and patted her hand, “It’s fine if you know what’s good for me, but it’s also not because I want to belittle her. That little sister-in-law of mine is not easy to get along with.”

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

Xie Shihan nodded. She also knew that Shen Qi was not as harmless as she seemed on the surface, and changed the topic: “Taking advantage of the warm weather, I plan to go out and take a walk, do you want to join me? “Don’t stay in the mansion all the time, it’s good to go out for a walk.”

Shen Qi thought about it, she did not have the chance before, and since she had the conditions, she might as well go for a walk, hence she smiled and nodded, “Sure, just tell me when you want to go.”

Hearing that she had agreed to it, Xie Shihan was very happy. She did not have many women that could compare to her, and Shen Qi was just one of them.

“Hmm, when the time comes, I’ll teach you how to ride a horse and play polo. It’s very fun.” These were her strengths.

Shen Qi still yearned to ride this horse in the modern world, when they were travelling on horseback. After hearing her reply, she immediately nodded her head and agreed.

The two of them talked about other things, then agreed that they would go out for a walk together at that time. Xie Shihan still had children that she could not stay for too long, so she took her leave.

Wang Ma and Zi Zhu were also happy for their Royal Concubine, as she was their first close friend. Being able to take her for a walk and often chat with her, they could clearly feel the joy in her heart every time she came over.

Taking advantage of the warm weather, Xie Shihan was invited to go out with them. They did not dare to walk too far, and decided to play in the manor in the outskirts of the capital.

Yan Wan, Yan Rui and the others were also present on this day. When they saw Shen Qi, Yan Wan was still as passionate as before, and she went forward to hold her arm with an innocent smile on her face, “Elder Sister Princess, you came as well. I followed you here because I knew you wanted to come.”

Shen Qi calmly pulled out her arm, smiled and said: “Really, then shouldn’t I feel honored?”

Shen Qi waved her hand, “Today, all of you who came out to play do not need to stand on ceremony, just a few will do.”

Xie Shihan led them inside. This manor was her wedding manor, General Xie was worried that her daughter did not have enough confidence after marriage, hence she had spent a lot of effort on her dowry. The manor was very big, and there were even some people around, making it very beautiful.

The thing that made Xie Shihan the most satisfied was that there was a special horse farm in the manor that allowed her to run horses to her heart’s content. Of course, there were also a few fine horses here, showing just how much General Xie loved her daughter.

The steward of the Manor already knew that Xie Shihan was coming here, so he had prepared everything beforehand. He even went to the mountain to hunt a deer, waiting for them to roast the deer leg and eat it.

Running horses at this time was actually a bit inappropriate, so today he came to relax and then eat some game.

Yan Rui and the others were very interested in the plum blossoms on the villa, the few young ladies that were appreciating and composing the plum blossoms pouted, and quietly said to Shen Qi: “Just a few plum blossoms can make them give out that many sentiments, be hypocritical!”

Shen Qi laughed, “The capital is always like this, the moment there is a flower in the garden, you think it is appropriate to hold a feast for the eyes. Aren’t you used to staying in there for so long?”

“The Duke of Guo’s estate is the same as well. They’ve seen quite a few of them, but they always thought they were weird. Didn’t they just flower a few stalks?” As for a banquet? ”

“The Flower Lover Banquet is just a title. It’s just a social event, and the ladies in the capital usually don’t have much to do, so they can’t see anyone else even if they stayed in the mansion. If they want to expand their connections, they have to gather together for a reason.” Shen Qi said with a smile.

Xie Shihan shook his head, “Let’s go over there to take a look. There is a hot spring, the reason why I brought you here is because I want to soak in the hot spring.

Shen Qi was very interested in this matter. Previously, when Duanren Emperor had brought her to the manor in the outskirts of the capital to soak in the hot spring water, she had already relaxed a bit. She had always wanted to go back to the manor once more but ended up going to Jiangnan.

“Are the hot springs here common?” Shen Qi was a little curious, do we have a place even in this villa?

Xie Shihan shook her head, “That’s not it either, this was discovered by my father with great difficulty, the place is big and good, at the time when you were giving it to me, my father felt extremely pained.” She couldn’t help but laugh.

“General Xie really loves you!” Shen Qi said in envy.

“You don’t have to be envious of me. Who doesn’t know that the Queen’s Consort’s dowry can’t even compare to that of a princess? At that time, you had so many treasures that made everyone’s eyes go red with envy.”

Xie Shihan also knew about her situation and stopped talking about her situation. Coincidentally, she also arrived at the location of the hot spring, this place was smaller than the one inside Duke Wei’s manor, but the surroundings were also made of smooth stones. Although it was small, it was more than enough to bathe two people at the same time, and because it was a dowry for Xie Shihan, the hot spring wasn’t open to the public.

Shen Qi was eager to give it a try, such a bubble like this was truly enjoyable!

Shen Qi brought out all four servants this time, because she did not have many opportunities to go out previously, so whenever she had the chance, she would bring them out to play. When she reached the villa, she would not restrain them, and would take turns to leave two to accompany Shen Qi in case of any unexpected situations.

Shen Qi and Xie Shihan wanted to soak in the hot spring with interest, so they left two servant girls to wait on them outside, and the two of them went in. Xie Shihan even made her servant bring out a few eggs, “The hot spring eggs are delicious, you should try it too.”

Shen Qi had only heard about it before, but had not personally tested it, hence she was a little curious, “Are you really familiar with it?”

They got a tray and floated to the center of the hot spring with a lot of fruits on it. The two of them wore undergarments and went in to chat while eating.

“Your Second Sister must be married to the Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion.” Xie Shihan suddenly asked.

Shen Qi nodded, “Mn, the first son of Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion, Xue Yang.”

“Then do you know what happened in their residence? “But it’s very lively.” When Xie Shihan said this, she looked at Shen Qi with some sympathy.

Shen Qi frowned, was the Second Sister pregnant or was it lively? It was not a good sign. “What’s going on?”

Xie Shihan laughed, “I don’t think you know, but Loyal Marquis is a man who understands and knows how to find his place, but there’s something confused about his family. Madam Hou only wants to take care of his family, and Madam Hou only wants his niece to marry into the house of the Marquis.

When Shen Qi heard this, he felt disgusted, it was her cousin again, a truly annoying existence, “How long has it been since our Second Sister found out that a child is pregnant? Can’t wait to get it sent to Xue Yang? ”

Xie Shihan shook her head and smiled, “I had originally wanted to become Xue Yang’s side room, but I don’t know what happened next, so I just left it at that. That young lady probably had a big heart, and didn’t want to be my concubine, so he seduced the Second Young Master of the Hou clan. It was a good thing that he did that, and it really pissed Madam Hou off.”

Shen Qi was a little confused now. Didn’t she want his niece to marry into the Palace? If this was a good thing with the second young master, then even if her reputation was not good, at least she had achieved her goal. Why was she so angry?

“Why is that?”

“You don’t know, right? The second young master of the house of the Marquis is the treasure of the Madam Hou. Do you know why the son of the Marquis still hasn’t been reborn yet? It’s all because of the Madam Hou. ” Xie Shihan was extremely mysterious.

“She wants to make the Second Young Master her son, and thinks that her mother’s niece is not worthy to be her second son.” He said it with absolute certainty.

Xie Shihan looked at her with an appreciative gaze, “Smart, that’s it.”

“Then why doesn’t the marquis care?” How could he let the Madam Hou hold him in her hands? As long as it wasn’t too comfortable being the successor of an official, the emperor would definitely raise the eldest son to be the successor of the family.

“Why don’t you care? So the position of the Marquis as the son of the Marquis is always empty. Xue Yang has already gotten married but hasn’t become the son of the Marquis. ”

“I don’t know much about the situation at the house of the Marquis. Who is the second young master of the house of the Marquis?” Shen Qi asked curiously.
