Spoiled Wife - C91 Birthday present

King Duan knew that this was her way of speaking, but he was still a bit embarrassed when he heard that she wanted a gift. He had been hesitating all day, should he take it out or not?

He was afraid that if she didn’t like what he had done, she might not be able to do it well. He felt that this was not like him, to think that she was looking at things from the front and back, hesitating, afraid that his gift would be disliked. He was King Duanren, and even if he were to stab others, others would have to thank him for it.

Thinking of this, he felt a bit upset, so he directly took out a sandalwood box and handed it to her, “Here you go.”

Shen Qi was startled, she never thought that the King would actually prepare a gift for her, she was just joking and just asked, originally thinking that if he was able to bring her to the villa to play, it would be a gift from him, but he was even prepared to do so!

However, he still took it over immediately. “Can I open it?” He asked with a look of pleasant surprise.

Seeing that she was looking forward to it, King Duanren’s mood improved a lot. However, he still proudly said, “You decide for yourself.”

Shen Qi laughed and didn’t say anything. She reached out and opened the box, there was a purple sandalwood hairpin, the entire hairpin was simple and generous, the hairpin was carved with hollowed-out patterns, but the hand was a little rough, the purple sandalwood tentacles were exquisite, carrying a natural fragrance, Shen Qi liked it immediately.

He held it in his hand and carefully played with it. Then, he raised his head and looked at King Duanren with a smile. “You carved this yourself.” A certain tone.

Seeing that Prince Xian looked a little uncomfortable, Shen Qi laughed happily, “I like it very much. This is my favorite birthday present so far.” He then continued to fondle the wooden hairpin lovingly.

Duke Xian was originally a little uncomfortable, but after hearing Shen Qi’s words and seeing that she really liked him and didn’t pretend, she became happy as well, “As long as you like him, there will be more for me in the future.” She had accidentally made a promise.

Shen Qi raised her head and looked at him, “Mn, I like it!” She realized that there was no difficulty in saying those words. She had originally liked to express her joy more and more freely.

Her smile was so sweet, as if those two dimples were covered in honey. Duke Xian could not help but lower his head and kiss the dimple on her cheek, and before Shen Qi could react, she calmly straightened her body and said as if nothing had happened, “It’s getting late, let’s go back.”

Shen Qi pursed her lips and laughed, she did not point it out and nodded: “Let’s go.”

Although his expression didn’t change much, from his brisk and brisk steps, it was possible to guess that the prince was in a very good mood. He had never been this happy before.

Shen Qi did not know that his servant girl had already thought so far, and today, after playing to her heart’s content, she was especially tired. Zi Zhu and the others all served her.

In the manor, there was one benefit was that the two of them would not sleep apart, but now that they were asleep, there was nothing they could do. However, Duke Xian never intended to do anything here, as she already owed her a real wedding.

Although they couldn’t get married again, they still had to make the bridal room look more like it. Therefore, before leaving, Duke Xiang instructed the Cang Lan Yuan s to be properly tidied up so that the wangfei wouldn’t feel wronged again.

The next day, when Bai Zhi was dressing Princess Wangfei, she discovered that there was a purple sandalwood box on the table. She didn’t know when she had gotten the extra box, but she didn’t say much and asked her last question, “Princess Wangfei, do you want to use that hairpin today?”

Shen Qi originally wanted to use it the whole time, but when she saw the sandalwood box, she changed her mind and pointed, “Use this.”

Bai Zhi opened it and saw a rosewood hairpin inside. It looked like the simple and generous look that the wangfei had always liked, just that the workmanship was a little rough. Thinking back to yesterday, when the wangfei had gone out with the prince to bring this back, and the wangfei had asked to bring this along, she could guess that perhaps the wangfei had given it to her as a gift.

Nowadays, only the imperial family could afford to have such grandeur. However, most sculptures were made by skilled craftsmen, so as to avoid damaging the wood, but from the looks of the work done with this hairpin, it was obviously made by a novice. This caused Bai Zhi’s heart to skip a beat; could it be that the prince had carved it himself?

If that was the case, then he could see the weight that the princess held in the prince’s heart. This made her more determined to find another way out. Since it wasn’t easy to climb out of the prince’s bed, she might as well find another way out.

After coming to the palace for such a long time, whether it was the empress dowager’s Lan Xin, the princess of the Duke’s household, or the Miss Fu who came to visit a while ago, these were all women who harbored other intentions towards the prince, and the imperial concubine had never made a move against them. But what would become of them in the end?

Where did Lan Xin come from? Miss Fu was knocked out and taken away. She had been following the princess for a long time, so she knew that there was no trace of her at all. The prince had sent her away on his own accord. This meant that there was nothing more to be said.

Previously, the wangfei didn’t care if the prince had a woman by his side, but now, Bai Zhi wasn’t sure. She could clearly see that if the wangfei was involved, there was such an outstanding man spoiling her; no woman would be able to stop her.

If a woman fell in love with a man, then all the things that she disdained to do before could now be done. She knew that her master was not a gentle person, and if she took action, it would be even more direct and straightforward. Bai Zhi admitted that she was no match for the wangfei, she only wanted to find a place to live in peace, and didn’t want to continue floating around, but she didn’t intend to compensate herself.

Shen Qi was not aware of the change in attitude of the servants around him. When she finished dressing up, shshesaw that Duke Xiang was instructing the guards to do something, when she saw Shen Qi, he immediately turned to look at her, and saw that she was indeed carrying the hairpin that he gave her. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, she waved for the guards to retreat, and walked towards Shen Qi.

“Let’s see if there’s anything else we want to bring. Let’s go back to the manor in the afternoon.”

Shen Qi saw that they were almost done with their preparations, and did not have anything else to add, she shook her head and said: “No, this is enough.”

“Then let’s eat breakfast first. If there’s anything you want to add, that can be done later.” King Duan came over and pulled her over to sit at the table. Zi Zhu and the others came over with breakfast. Rice porridge with pickled vegetables and salted duck eggs were very common.

After playing for half a day and eating lunch here, Shen Qi tidied up and left reluctantly from Mother Song. When she found out that Mother Song was injured because of King Duanren, she was especially grateful to her, but he consoled her when she saw her unwilling to leave, “We’ll come back when we have time, it’s good if you want to come to the palace to take a look at the weather.”

It was still too hot right now. It was more comfortable to stay here for the summer, so he could let her stay here for a while in the autumn.

Mother Song smiled and nodded, revealing excitement. “This old servant thanks wangfei for her concern.” Then he watched them get into the car and leave.

Returning to the Duke Palaces, they received a warm welcome from the Zhonbo s and Jiang mama s and reported the situation in the two Heavenly Palaces to Shen Qi. There was also someone who gifted her something and gave her a list, on it were detailed records of who gifted what and what.

“Esteemed wangfei, the empress dowager also sent someone over to reward you. She originally wanted you to enter the palace, but you followed the prince to the manor.” Jiang mama finally said.

Shen Qi raised her eyebrows, what was the meaning of letting him enter the palace at this time? What new instructions does she have?

She didn’t say anything. She only looked at King Duanren, who seemed to know what she was thinking. He lightly shook his head. “There’s no need to pay any attention to this. It shouldn’t be anything important.” She was probably waiting to see how the young wangfei would serve him. This was something that the empress would be able to do.

Since the prince had already said so, Shen Qi put the matter down. She then ordered for the things she brought back from the manor to be shared before sending them to everyone, “Take advantage of the fresh time and quickly send them off tomorrow.” Inside the palace, in the Grand Princess Palace, in the Shang Shu Manor, in the Duke Palace, and even in the Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion, Shen Qi had not landed.

After instructing the servants to send away the things, Shen Qi was only able to take care of some simple matters. She thought that the day would be over, but who knew that at night, Shen Qi would return to the hall after taking a bath and realize the great changes.

What entered his eyes was a sea of red. Two red candles were lit on the table, and the quilts on the bed were replaced with red pictures of a mandarin duck playing with water. Even the tents were red. She was stunned at the door. What did that mean?

He blinked as he looked at King Duanren, but then he walked over and pulled her over to the bedside, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one to her. “We haven’t had any of our own yet.”

No wonder it was done mysteriously, no wonder all the servants had left all the way. So it turned out that they were waiting here. The person she was paying her respects to was a big rooster.

Thinking of this, she became curious, so she asked, “Prince, where was that big rooster that came to visit me?”

Upon hearing this, King Duanren’s face darkened. Gritting his teeth, he said, “Yes, I did.”

“AHH!” When did you eat it? How come I didn’t know? ” She looked surprised.

“I’ve used it to replenish This King’s body.” King Xian’s face was full of anger. Although the chicken was innocent, he still felt that it was too easy on it.

“Tsk tsk.” Shen Qi laughed and said: “You have truly destroyed the bridge after crossing the river, and completely executed everything you had. I did at least take your place, how can I be so heartless?”

King Xian was speechless. He had discovered that the young wangfei was turning over old scores! However, today, he had deliberately arranged all of this so that she wouldn’t have to settle old scores, so he took a step closer to her. “So This King will now make up for all of this.” His tone was filled with danger.
