That's the way to use a person, so Shen Qi changed the topic, and continued: But your young miss, I, am still a Queen's Consort bestowed by the Emperor, so I have to take out my imposing aura, and hold up my noble and cold demeanor, and not let others bully me, or else where would I put your young miss' face?

The implied meaning was that bullying them was slapping the wangfei's face. Then the young miss would definitely slap them back. They had followed Shen Qi for so many years, so they knew her personality and conduct very well. Even though she had an awkward position in the Shang Shu Manor, not many people would dare to bully their Xiang Zhu Institute.

The concern of the old master and the care of the few young masters were one and the same, and there was another aspect that could not be ignored was Shen Qi's deterrence when she was calm and collected, making those people remember that regardless of whether she was favored or not, she was still a master, a master who could decide your life and death.

She had never killed anyone, but she would make those who bullied her taste that much better. When she was four years old, she used this move to make an example to scare all the servants in the mansion, so don't think that her good temper was something to be trifled with.

It was because they understood Shen Qi that they were willing to follow her, no matter how rough her road in front of them was. Just like when she married into the King's Mansion.

She treated them as if they were her sisters and not just servants. Her heart would change with them, and a master like this would naturally be able to exchange them for a loyal slave.

Seeing that they understood what he meant, Shen Qi waved them off to rest. "Go, everyone should rest well after a tiring day, get me in advance tomorrow morning, pay respects to your grace, tomorrow Zi Zhu will go with me, and the others will stay at the mansion to settle the dowry."

"Yes, miss." After everyone had left, Zi Li took a step forward, "Is Miss going to sleep?"

"Mm, go to sleep." Shen Qi covered her mouth and yawned, "You should get together for the night outside, you should get some rest when we enter the palace tomorrow."

"Your servant is fine. Your servant is in good health. She'll be fine even if I stay up for a few nights." Zi Li smiled as he put away the book in Shen Qi's hands and helped her change.

"I don't want you to stay up all night." Shen Qi laughed and teased her. This girl's heart was honest, even if you didn't say it, she would still be able to keep her eyes open until daybreak. She knew that Shen Qi was worried about their bodies, and only slowly recovered later on.

She was really tired, her breathing could be heard evenly not long after she laid down. When Zi Li saw that his young miss was already asleep, he quietly went out to sleep on the bed outside.

After it had quieted down, Yan Yi still appeared in the main room dressed in black over at the Main yard's side.

"Your Highness."

"How is it?" This question did not seem to have anything to do with it, but Yan Yi knew what the Duke was trying to ask.

"The wangfei has already gone to sleep, nothing abnormal happened." Yan Yi answered in a serious tone.

"What was her reaction?" Everyone thought that King Duanren was still unconscious. Although his face was pale and his body weak, he was still seriously awake.

In fact, King Xian woke up ten days ago and heard that his mother had found him a bride. Because the poison in his body hadn't disappeared, his body was still weak, but he was still able to persevere.

However, in order to eliminate all the villains behind the scenes, he had no choice but to hide the fact that he had awoken. Only when he was certain that he was not strong enough for a single strike would they take the next step, thus Mo Ze had Yan Yi act along with him for everyone to see.

It was fortunate that his body was truly weak and his face was sickly pale. Only this way could it be hidden from the people who came to visit him every day, including his mother and royal brother.

did not expect his own master to ask such a question, but he was only startled for a moment before he replied immediately: "There wasn't much of a reaction. The wangfei is very calm, after ordering the food, she took a bath and changed clothes, then knocked on the servant girl for a bit before going to sleep."

King Duan: Your answer is so comprehensive and so uninteresting, as expected of Yan Yi!

"Oh, right. The wangfei also said that she would come to the palace tomorrow to offer her tea to show her gratitude." Yan Yi added.

"Understood, you may leave." He shook his head as he thought about it. There was no such wronged wangfei anymore, not to mention the groom on their wedding night, they would have to thank her for the tea tomorrow. He reckoned she wouldn't have much of a reaction if she didn't return home after three dynasties.

How could a fourteen year old girl be so relaxed? Ignorant or indifferent? King Xian couldn't help but be curious about this young wangfei whom he had never met. Just what kind of person would be able to be at ease in a situation like this?

In truth, Duke Xiang did not have much mood to care about what happened to Shen Qi. He had more important matters to attend to, so after Yan Yi left, Yan Er came over to report.

"Mistress?" Yan Er was a little more active than Yan Yi, he would stay silent when he was able to keep a straight face and definitely not laugh, but although Yan Er was also a secret guard like Yan Yi, he loved to talk and laugh.

Seeing that King Xian was distracted, Yan Yi warned him. Yan Yi would have waited until Master was finished before making a sound, since this was the difference between the two of them.

"Is there any movement?" Today, while the marriage was still going on, King Duanren sent Yan Er to watch it, just in case the other party took the chance to make a move.

As long as he did not die, those people would never be at peace, and would definitely take the chance to eradicate him. But since he was injured, the King's Mansion was surrounded by the secret guards until not even a drop of water could leak out, forming a wall of steel. Not even a single fly could enter, and those people needed an opportunity to take action.

Therefore, Duke Xian decided to give them the chance. Marrying a wangfei was a good opportunity, and as a result, Shen Qi entered the door.

"No, everything is normal." When Yan Er talked about proper matters, he was also very serious. He was also puzzled, since this was a good opportunity, why did the other party not move and give up this chance for nothing?

He was so cunning that no one could catch his tail. The last attack was originally a trap, but who would have thought that the opposite party had obtained a secret medicine from the southern border. That was why he had almost lost his life, this was a miscalculation!

However, that was to be expected. The other party wouldn't act rashly if he wasn't completely confident. Just like last time, when he thought that everything was under his control, something went wrong.

"Keep watching, and tell everyone not to relax. The more you watch, the harder you have to string." There was no trace of happiness or anger in his expression, but Yan Er knew that his master was actually angry. For the last failure, he had to erase his previous shame.

"Yes, your subordinate understands." Yan Er was actually very angry as well, and would not let down his guard for the mission this time.

Seeing that his master did not have anything else to say, Yan Er knew that the matter had been settled, but he still asked half-heartedly, "Master, how do you plan on arranging the wutong garden's man?" wutong garden was Shen Qi's courtyard, and because the courtyard was filled with tall parasol trees, it became known to everyone.

Actually, it was more or less appropriate to arrange such a courtyard for the males, but because wutong garden was the most suitable courtyard away from the Main yard, it would not cause others to feel cold and distant, nor would they get close enough to hear the movements of the Main yard. Thus, Shen Qi was arranged to be there.

"Hmm? This King thinks you're too free? " Duke Xian's calm and collected words scared Yan Er to the point that he didn't dare to say anything.

"No, no, your subordinate is very busy. This is what it means to be busy." After saying that, he ran even faster than a rabbit.

The reason he wanted to marry her was because he was still unconscious when the imperial edict was passed down. Although he was conscious, he still couldn't speak and could only hear what was happening outside.

The second reason was to take this opportunity to loosen the other party's guard so they could take down the traitor in one fell swoop. Although she knew that the other party wouldn't act against her again due to her wariness, she still had to marry this wangfei first or else she wouldn't be able to explain the sudden annulment of the marriage.

Furthermore, only by marrying a person who wanted to please an imperial concubine would he be able to confirm the rumors that he was about to lose. However, he had never thought about how to deal with an imperial concubine.

Fortunately, Princess Hua-Yang was still young and hadn't reached her prime yet. If Princess Hua-Yang had any ideas, he would let her go. If she wanted the title of Queen's Consort, he would grant her that wish.

After meeting Shen Qi for a while, she would no longer be able to recall her previous thought of letting her go. At that time, even if Shen Qi wanted to leave, he would not let her go, of course that was in the future.

Shen Qi woke up early the next morning, rubbing her eyes, "What time is it?"

"Miss, it's a quarter to ten." The answer was purple bamboo.

It was only not even six o'clock, and being so early, was practically a form of torture. Shen Qi didn't think of it at all, but after thinking about her mission today, he forced herself up from her bed.

He closed his eyes and let the maidservants help him put on his clothes and wash his face, "Miss, do you want to wear that today?"

"Wear the princess's formal attire." Firstly, was to let the empress dowager see that he had accepted this identity, and secondly, was to intimidate others. Regardless of what kind of person Duke Xiang was now, she was an honorable Queen's Consort of the King's Mansion, and he wanted those who wanted to cause trouble for him to think carefully about it.

Her red makeup accentuated her snow-white skin and her imposing manner. Immediately, she looked different from usual. Although she was still young, her dressing was still enough to support the scene of the Duke's Mansion.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Shen Qi couldn't help but exclaim: "A man relies on his clothes to ride on the saddle. She is just a little girl who hasn't even left the Shang Shu Manor yet, but now she's a princess with a strong aura.
