Shen Koudan did not forget that all of this was given to her by Shen Kouqing.

However, Shen Koudan did not think that way.

Before long, Shen Kouqing was woken up by Ting Zhu.

"Royal granddaughter consort, wake up."

Faintly opening his eyes, Ting Zhu was kneeling in front of him.

"What's wrong?"

Ting Zhu stood up and bowed: "Esteemed Empress, the Crown Princess has sent two maids over. Please accept them."

Shen Kouqing was slightly taken aback, completely devoid of sleepiness.

Seeing that she was confused, Ting Zhu quietly walked over and whispered: "Esteemed Empress, this is etiquette, it is something that the Crown Princess should do."

Shen Kouqing immediately stood up, packed her stuff and walked out.

As he slowly walked past the curtain, the shadows of people could be seen. An old wet nurse stood in the middle of the hall with a respectful expression, like a statue. It was unknown how long she had been waiting for this moment.

Seeing that Shen Kouqing had come out, the old granny hurriedly bowed. "This old servant greets Royal granddaughter consort."

"No need for formalities."

"Esteemed Empress, these two maidservants were gifted to you by the Crown Princess. Look at their expressions, are you satisfied?"

Shen Kouqing looked at the two of them.

The two maidservants bowed, "Greetings Royal granddaughter consort."

She had a rather pleasant appearance, about fifteen or sixteen years old, and looked extremely lively. One of them looked lively, while the other stood behind the old nanny with a lowered head and eyes. She did not even move when she heard her voice, making her seem very cautious.

"These two maidservants are pretty good. I can see that the Crown Princess knows how to discipline her. I'll accept them. I'll thank the Crown Princess again another day, so please let me know."

The old nanny acknowledged and left.

"What are your names?"

The two of them immediately replied: "I am Qing Yan."

"Your servant is Qingshui."

"How long have you two been serving the Crown Princess?" Shen Kouqing took a sip of her tea.

"If you return to the Royal granddaughter consort, this servant has only served the princess consort for three months."

Another maidservant at the side also hurriedly said, "This servant too."

Shen Kouqing glanced at her, and she immediately shut her mouth.

"The Empress did not allow you to speak, so you cannot casually interrupt." Ting Zhu could not help but scold.

The servant girl quickly knelt down, "This slave deserves to die, please forgive this Royal granddaughter consort."

Shen Kouqing smiled and said to Ting Zhu: "Forget it, inform Li mama, bring them down there and teach them the rules."

Ting Zhu agreed and left with the two of them.

Rather than calling it a rule, it would be more accurate to say that it was to test it out.

[How could the Crown Princess be so kind to send two clean maids? She must have some tricks up her sleeve!]

Shen Kouqing waited for a while, after about an incense worth of time, Ting Zhu returned. Seeing that the sky was almost bright, she began to wash up.

As a relative, Shen Kouqing did not have many opportunities to enter the palace, and there were only three or four of them. Tonight, Song Yuanhui and Shen Koudan would also go, she wanted to see what Shen Koudan's face looked like.

When the sky turned dark, Shen Kouqing finished packing up. She was still dressed in red, and although his standard wasn't as big as when they were married, it wasn't by much.

"The Empress is so beautiful, even more beautiful than our capital's number one beauty." Ting Zhu praised him sincerely. She could only regret that he did not study properly in the past and did not find any words to praise Shen Kouqing.

"You're becoming more and more talkative. I'll see if you can continue blabbering after I send you out to do some menial work."

Shen Kouqing picked up the red paper, and lightly pursed her lips.

The beauty that Ting Zhu was talking about was the Meng Family's most precious daughter, Meng Zhixia. She was extremely beautiful and her appearance was captivating.

Unfortunately, her personality wasn't soft enough and she didn't like talking to others. She was already twenty-eight years old, but no one had ever dared to propose marriage. It was truly touching.

"Ting Zhu isn't spouting nonsense. Princess is very beautiful to begin with."

The sudden male voice gave Shen Kouqing a big fright. She turned her head and saw that Song Yichen had already walked up to her, bending over to look at her in the copper mirror.

"She's very pretty. Compared to the number one beauty, she doesn't give in at all. In fact, she's even a thousand times better." He gave Shen Kouqing's face a peck that was as gentle as rubbing feathers.

Her face immediately turned red, like the rouge in her hand, red like a fiery cloud.

Ting Zhu withdrew herself with a smile.

Shen Kouqing raised her head, Song Yichen who was reflected in the mirror was also dressed in red, unrestrained and unbridled. Originally, he was brimming with aggression, but his pale white face had lost all of its viciousness, making him look extremely weak.

She frowned. "You've already taken that medicine for a few days. Why haven't you seen it?"

"How can an old disease that has lasted for many years be cured in an instant?" "You see, I'm much better than I was a few days ago."

"Why did you come back?" Shen Kouqing quickly changed the subject.

"Of course it's to accompany my wife to the palace." Song Yichen's smiling expression made Shen Kouqing's heart flustered.

The housekeeper came in and said, "The emperor's eldest grandson, the carriage is ready."

Song Yichen very naturally pulled Shen Kouqing's hand, "Let's go!"

The hand was still cold and bone-piercing.

Shen Kouqing's heart hurt, it was as if a needle had been inserted inside. Unless Song Yichen was treated, this needle could never be removed.

All the princes were going to attend the feast set up by the palace. By the time they arrived, Song Yuanhui and Shen Koudan had already been there for a while.

Just as he entered, Shen Koudan saw Shen Kouqing. His gentle eyes turned sharp as he stared straight at Shen Kouqing, wishing for nothing more than to bite off a piece of meat.

Shen Kouqing naturally felt it, but she seemed to not know anything as she followed Song Yichen slowly into the room.

Song Yichen was the eldest grandson of the emperor. Although he was a generation below Song Yuanhui, he was the eldest grandson, so his position was closer to Song Yuanhui's. The order of everyone present was: Shen Kouqing, Song Yichen, followed by Sixth Prince, then Song Yuanhui, and finally Song Yuanhui and Shen Koudan.

Due to the emperor's age, other than Song Yuanhui, the rest of the princes had already become kings. A few of them led their troops to battle bravely, but as a result, they were not in the capital city.

Shen Kouqing quickly glanced at Song Yuanhui, but suddenly stopped, as suspicion arose within her heart.

Why did Song Yuanhui have two more chairs by his side, he had clearly only married Shen Koudan, what was the reason behind this?

Just as she was wondering, she suddenly heard a voice from outside, "Su Xiaojie has arrived."

Su Xiaojie, Su Wanqing...

As the voice of the voice fell, a figure walked over slowly, causing Shen Kouqing's heart to abruptly sink.

It was indeed Su Wanqing, but she was actually wearing a white dress. Even though it was nice to look at, today's day …

Isn't that a bit inappropriate?

Song Yichen also realized that Su Wanqing's clothes were just too eye-catching.

But then again, the Su Wanqing today was so beautiful that it was hard to look at.

In his previous life, when Shen Kouqing married Song Yuanhui, he suffered countless of losses, both on the surface and in the dark, but Su Wanqing was still the typical white lotus.
