Although Shen Yudong was named Princess Jingshu by the late emperor, everyone knew that she was not favored and was dispensable in the harem.

But as the only princess who is waiting for marriage, it is not unusual to open a palace outside. However, this princess's mansion is extremely exquisite, but also poetic and picturesque. The servants and guards in the princess's mansion are also the most elite in the palace. Chosen.

What's more, Concubine Chen specially appointed highly qualified chamberlains and nuns from the palace to serve with her when she left the palace. This was something that no other princess had ever done before.

So this opening banquet was extremely grand.

What's more, the emperor also wanted to bring the pregnant Concubine Chen, which caused many people who had not received the message to join in. Marquis Wenxin was one of them.

Wenxinhou Mansion

Cheng Xiao, who abandoned the princess on the autumn hunt and ran away, was supposed to report to the army after the new year, but who could have expected that Cheng Xiao's grandmother, Mrs. Cheng, would become seriously ill and she is now getting weaker and weaker.

Cheng Xiao is the eldest grandson, so Mrs. Cheng naturally cannot bear to part with her grandson.

Marquis Wenxin had no choice but to ask the emperor for mercy. Since this dynasty valued filial piety, the emperor did not have the same reason as a dying old man, so he allowed Cheng Shizi to join the army again in September.

Marquis Wenxin looked at his son who was dressed handsomely and finally nodded with satisfaction.

"You have to know that this opportunity today is hard-won. If you don't want to suffer hardship in the army, you must obtain Princess Jingshu's forgiveness and make her fall in love with you as soon as possible, so you don't have to endure hardship."

Cheng Xiao handed over his hand and said, "My son understands. My son will definitely perform well this time."

Marquis Wenxin waved his hand and asked Cheng Xiao to leave.

In the chariot, Su Ning'an helped Feng Chai in her hair from time to time, and looked at her with the hand mirror again and again, which made Shen Yanzui press down her hand holding the hand mirror in amusement.

"An'an looks very good and decent today, no need to look any further."

Su Ning'an smiled sheepishly, "Although today is the opening banquet of the princess's palace, there are still so many courtiers and family members. It is no worse than a formal palace banquet. I cannot embarrass the emperor."

Shen Yanzhui's eyes fell on her face. She had been in the palace for many years and was now the mother of two children, but she was still so stupid. She would do her best to be nice to others who was nice to her, and she was also kind to others. How not to feel bad?

He hugged Su Ning'an and said, "Even if An An has long hair and is not wearing a fancy dress, who would dare to dislike my noble concubine? Let's see if I don't pick off his head."

Su Ning'an smiled shyly, but blocked his lips with her palms to prevent him from damaging her lip makeup, "I'm more and more aware that the emperor has the potential to be a coward!"

However, Shen Yanzui smiled proudly and whispered in her ear: "If I become a foolish king, An'an will definitely be a demon concubine!"

In fact, it was the Queen who was supposed to accompany him today, but the Queen was not feeling well these days, and she couldn't stand the heat, so she had to take the place of the Queen.

Although I still had some lingering fears before leaving the palace, I was worried that others would say that the emperor doted on his concubines and destroyed his wife, and that others would say that she had seduced the monarch and insulted the queen.

However, with the emperor accompanying him and joking along the way, these doubts were gradually put behind him.

"My sister pays homage to the emperor's brother and the noble concubine."

"The humble ministers and wives pay their respects to the emperor, the noble concubine."

The royal chariot stopped at the door of the princess's mansion. The emperor carefully helped Concubine Chen get out of the chariot, and saw Princess Jingshu kneeling down with a group of courtiers to greet her.

"Pingshen." Shen Yanzhui raised his hand and said with a smile, "Today is the opening of Jingshu's mansion, and all the beloved ladies are here to celebrate, so there is no need to be overly formal."

"Brother Imperial, the banquet has been prepared. My sister knew that the concubine's sister-in-law was pregnant, so she specially asked the cook to make her favorite food, and also invited the imperial brother and the concubine's sister-in-law to the table."

Outside the palace, Shen Yudong was indeed much more cheerful than inside the palace. His words "sister-in-law" made the emperor happy, and the concubine's face couldn't help but glow with a delicate pink color.

It was originally just a simple palace banquet, but due to the arrival of the emperor and Concubine Chen, it turned into a grand palace banquet.

Halfway through the banquet, Suningan leaned slightly on Shen Yanzui's shoulder, with a sleepy look on his face.

Ever since she became pregnant, she has always felt sleepy and slept most of the day.

"Can I take you to rest for a while?" He hugged Su Ning'an intimately and looked at her sleepy face. She was very charming and naive. She couldn't help but be gentle when she spoke, as if she were treating a child.

"Brother, there is no need to trouble. My sister knows that the concubine and sister-in-law are easily tired when pregnant, so she has already arranged her courtyard so that she can go there to rest."

Ana Shen nodded approvingly, "That's right. As expected, I can handle things now that I have opened a house."

But after all, they were outside, so something would inevitably happen. In addition to Huan Cui following him, Shen Yanzui also sent An Li and Gu Yu'an to protect them.

"Thank you Dong'er. Go to the front yard quickly. There are green bamboos here, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Okay." Shen Yudong watched Cuizhu remove the hairpin ring for Suningan, nodded, and then left.

Being at a banquet is quite boring. It is better to enjoy flowers or sit alone and feel comfortable. Thinking like this, Shen Yudong walked towards the garden.

"Princess."

Shen Yudong frowned, looked at the person blocking her way, his face became even more unhappy, and said calmly: "Prince Cheng."

As she said this, she wanted to go around him, but Cheng Xiao immediately took a step to the left and stood still in front of her.

"What do you mean, Prince Cheng?" Shen Yudong looked unhappy and immediately took two steps back.

"Princess, please don't misunderstand. Weichen still wants to apologize for Qiu Lie. It was Weichen who failed to protect the princess. Please forgive me." Cheng Xiao leaned slightly and said in a flattering manner.

"I don't take it to heart." Shen Yudong glanced at Cheng Xiao. For some reason, since the last autumn hunt, Cheng Xiao felt disgusted with him when he saw her again, so she didn't want to say more to him.

Cheng Xiao was overjoyed and said quickly: "Since the princess is not angry with Wei Chen, can Wei Chen enjoy the flowers and garden with the princess?"

Shen Yudong looked at Cheng Xiao who was still unwilling to let her go. His brows turned cold, and his usual softness was gone from his throat. "No need, I want to go on my own."

"Princess Princess!"

Seeing her taking a few steps away from him, Cheng Xiao immediately rushed up and stood in front of her, "How about I take the princess to fly the kite tomorrow?"

Shen Yudong rolled his eyes at him, flying kites on such a hot day? No need to worry about heatstroke!

Then he said humbly: "I'm not interested, Prince Cheng, why don't you find someone else!"

"Hey, princess, I heard..."

Zhuang Moben was sitting on a big rock under the shade of a tree to sober up, but he was so noisy by two voices that he had a headache. When he looked up, he found that it was Cheng Xiao and Princess Jingshu.

Are they related to each other?

Is this a quarrel?

Looking at the two seemingly intimate figures, Zhuang Mo rubbed his forehead and felt a little depressed for some reason.

He unconsciously glanced at her again, his eyes slightly cold, and turned around to leave.

I don’t know what Princess Jingshu said to Prince Cheng, but I heard Prince Cheng sarcastically say: "She is just an unpopular concubine, but she really thinks of herself as a treasure!"

With an extremely clear "snap", Cheng Xiao was caught off guard and stopped Zhuang Mo's footsteps abruptly.
