Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Qiu Fuqiu entered the palace and went to Jinqiu Palace on the pretext of visiting her aunt. Unexpectedly, Guixiang, the chief maidservant beside Concubine Qiu, said that Concubine Qiu was taking a nap and refused Qiu Fuqiu entry.

Just as he was about to leave, he met Yun Qiang who was beside Shen Furong.

Yun Qiang bowed respectfully to Qiu Fuqiu and said, "Miss Qiu, the princess invites you to the Luxia Palace for tea."

Qiu Fuqiu had originally planned to meet Shen Furong, and now that someone came to invite her personally, she was naturally happy to go.

When she arrived at Luxia Palace, she saw Shen Furong sitting in the hall pouring tea. She immediately put on a bright smile and strode in.

"Cousin, why are you in such a good mood today? Let's drink tea."

The three cups of tea in front of Shen Furong had been filled with tea. When Qiu Fuqiu came in and sat down, she had just filled the fourth cup.

Four cups of tea, four colors, four scents.

"Oh, it smells so good!"

As soon as Qiu Fuqiu sat down, she went to get the tea in front of her, but was blocked by a bare hand. She watched as the cup of tea that was about to be in her hand was picked up by Shen Furong and brought to her nose, and she sniffed it gently.

"Cousin, there's still some left, why are you trying to grab my cup?"

Shen Furong sniffed the tea, her brows relaxed and then frowned, and the next moment she poured the cup of tea onto the ground.

Qiu Fuqiu was extremely surprised. She looked at the bright yellow tea and a few tender green tea leaves on the ground. She didn't know what had made her cousin unhappy.

"Why did you pour it out? If you don't want to drink it, you can give it to me. I'm really thirsty after walking all the way here."

Shen Furong, who had been silent the whole time, finally raised her eyes and looked at Qiu Fuqiu. Her expression was quite serious. She asked, "Why did you come to the palace?"

Qiu Fuqiu paused, hiding the unnatural look on her face, "Of course I came to see my aunt and cousin, but my aunt is still taking a nap, so I came to see my cousin."

Shen Furong put down the empty teacup and poured tea into it again. As the tea fell into the cup, it made a clear sound. She hummed lightly, "Since you are here, try the tea I brewed. These four kinds are different. Try them and see which one you like?"

Qiu Fuqiu picked up the teacup beside her and followed Shen Furong's example. She first sniffed the tea and felt the fragrance of the tea was refreshing. She raised her head and drank it all in one gulp, exclaiming heartily, "It tastes good!"

Shen Furong's eyes darkened and she pointed at another cup, "Try this one."

This time Qiu Fuqiu skipped the sniffing step and took another swig. "It tastes good too!"

Just as she was about to take the third cup, she was stopped by Shen Furong, "Can you taste any difference?"

Qiu Fuqiu was stunned. "They taste the same to me. There is no difference. If I have to say something is different, it is that the second cup has more tea leaves than the first cup."

Shen Furong's face finally darkened. "Qiu Fuqiu, you are exactly like my aunt. You don't know how to appreciate."

Qiu Fuqiu smiled faintly, finally seeing Shen Furong's normal expression. Her cold look just now had frightened her so much that she almost thought she had recognized the wrong person.

"Just drink tea to quench your thirst. Although I don't know how to taste tea, I know that tea tastes much better than water."

Shen Furong rolled her eyes. Isn't this nonsense?

Thinking about the purpose of entering the palace, Qiu Fuqiu tentatively asked Shen Furong, "Cousin, why do I feel that something is not right in the palace this time?"

Shen Furong raised her eyelids and said without beating around the bush, "Don't you just want to ask about the Crown Princess?"

"You know?" Qiu Fuqiu was a little surprised.

"Those who enter the palace at this time are all here for the Crown Princess. You are not the first one. But I am very curious. Haven't you always been fond of Yongding Hou Xie Chengyi? Did you really give up just because he wants to marry Xiao Yizhu?"

She hadn't heard the name Xie Chengyi for a long time.

The topic suddenly fell on Xie Chengyi. Qiu Fuqiu lowered her eyes uncomfortably, then picked up a cup of tea and took two sips to cover up her abnormally beating heart.

"Why did you mention the Marquis of Yongding? Besides, I have long disliked him."

Shen Furong had a look on her face as if she had seen through everything and was about to speak out, "Oh, oh, oh, you're not satisfied now? So you came to the palace to inquire about the Crown Princess."

Qiu Fuqiu finally realized what was wrong in what Shen Furong said.

"What does it have to do with whether I like Xie Chengyi or not and the Crown Princess?"

"It's a big deal." Shen Furong continued to add crushed tea powder to the teapot in front of her, stirring it gently with a tea spoon, and a faint fragrance overflowed.

Then she said, "If you still like Xie Chengyi, there is no need to enter the palace to participate in the selection of the Crown Princess. After all, although the Crown Prince is good, it is still unknown whether his body can hold up until the next wedding."

Qiu Fuqiu's ears buzzed, as if she heard something from the Arabian Nights. Did she have tinnitus? How could she hear the words "candidate for the election of Crown Princess"?

She slapped her ears hard, and when she really heard a buzzing sound in her ears, she was sure that she had really heard it just now.

His eyes were wide open in shock, and he stared at Shen Furong with his distinct black and white eyes. He grabbed her sleeve in panic, "Cousin, you just said that the prince is going to choose another princess?"

"Yeah, isn't that why you came here?"

At this time, Shen Furong also noticed Qiu Fuqiu's abnormality, "You are not here for this?"

Qiu Fuqiu shook her head repeatedly, "Definitely not!"

She doesn't like the prince!

No, no, no, the problem is not whether she likes the prince or not, but that the crown princess just passed away two days ago!

Even if the prince remarried, he couldn't do it so quickly. Besides, in her impression, the prince and the princess were in harmony and in love, so how could he remarry right after the death of the woman?

Even when Shen Zhaoyan wanted to marry Xiao Yizhen, he had to wait half a year after the previous princess passed away before he dared to mention it.

Qiu Fuqiu swallowed hard and couldn't help cursing in her heart, saying that all men are really pigs.

I didn't expect that the gentle, elegant and graceful Crown Prince would be such a superficial person.

"The Crown Prince wants to marry a Crown Princess so soon. Does His Majesty agree?"

"This is exactly what father meant. Brother Crown Prince probably doesn't know yet. He has been in Chonghua Palace for the past few days and has not shown up."

Qiu Fuqiu's jaw dropped in shock. She raised her head and drank the remaining half cup of tea. She stood up and said goodbye to Shen Furong, "Cousin, I remember now. My mother asked me to go home early today, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, come back."

Looking at Qiu Fuqiu's hurriedly leaving back, Yun Qiang, who had been standing by the side, also responded and left the main hall.

At this time, a person walked out from the back of the main hall and sat down in the seat where Qiu Fuqiu had just sat.

He took the teacup himself, scooped up the freshly brewed tea, took a deep sip, his face full of enjoyment.

Shen Furong glanced at her brother Shen Zhaoyi who was sitting opposite her and asked, "Why did you ask me to tell Fuqiu such a false news?"

Shen Zhaoyi looked calm as he looked at the three empty teacups and said meaningfully, "Royal sister, who do you think she will tell this news to when she returns?"
