Seeing her so relaxed, Shen Jiayan laughed and shook his head, "Seems like your days are not bad."

"Indeed, it's not bad. The King's Mansion s' standards are much higher than the Shang Shu Manor's." Shen Qi took a sip of the tea and muttered with a faint smile. After she finished speaking, she gave him a sweet smile, revealing two dimples.

"Mother didn't say anything to you, did she?" Even though second brother Shen Jiazhen never smiled, he still took care of her silently.

"He didn't say anything. I doubt that he'll say anything else in the future, right?" Shen Qi shook his head and replied with a smile.

"Oh, you, did you say something that caused mother to be afraid?" Shen Jiayan should be the person who understood Shen Qi the most in the Palace, so when he heard her words, he immediately thought of something and asked with a smile. The other three people also looked at her curiously.

"Look at what you're saying, that's mother." Shen Qi said with a smile.

"Come on, stop acting like that in front of me. It's useless." Shen Jiayan had a carefree and unrestrained look, his beautiful eyes flashed, and he ridiculed Shen Qi's words in disdain.

"Tell me, there are no outsiders here, how did you manage to scare Mother so much that she wouldn't speak up for Shen Fei?" Shen Jiayan knew his mother very well. No matter what, Shen Qi was still the Queen's Consort, and Duke Xian was not only the most trusted prince in the kingdom, he was also a general with military power. How could the ambitious woman of the Shen Fei let go of such an opportunity?

"Just tell them I know everything." Shen Qi spoke carelessly, but the other four people's expressions simultaneously changed.

Shen Jiaxuan and the others also looked at her with a guilty face, making Shen Qi feel a little funny, "You don't have to be like this, it won't happen again, it won't happen again." The voice was gentle and fleeting, and then he narrowed his eyes and looked at the lotus pond outside, "Will you be able to pay it off this time? At least she gave birth to me. "

The meaning of her words was that she didn't care about anything because she had repaid the kindness of being born in the Lady Xu and had to face being wronged and crowned with evil reputation the moment she was born. Then, she had lived a peaceful and quiet life in the palace for more than ten years and was once again used to marry an unconscious duke before she was even old enough to be a bridal bride.

No matter which one it was, it was forcing her onto a dead end. So what if it gave birth to her? It was one thing to be born without support, but to be treated so maliciously was a form of repayment.

Shen Qi would never say these words to them in front of Shen Weiyuan, but she did not have that much scruples in front of his brothers, so they should be able to understand her attitude, but Shen Weiyuan was different. Shen Fei was also his daughter, and Lady Xu was someone who had accompanied him for so many years.

But these big brothers were different. They themselves simply could not bear to see the way Shen Fei and Lady Xu did things, even if they felt that they had done things decisively, it was understandable. They did not have that much scruples when compared to Shen Weiyuan.

She wanted to tell them that she didn't have anything that let Lady Xu and Shen Fei down. After paying her debt of gratitude, she wouldn't sacrifice herself for them anymore. In the future, she would live her life for herself.

As expected, even Shen Jiaxuan and Shen Jia Yao, who hadn't interacted much with her in the past, had a bad taste in their hearts when they looked at her. A smart girl who knew everything and could see everything, how did she find a balance in this injustice?

At that time, she was still so young, yet she had to bear the unfair treatment that others forced on her. There was no prejudice, only peace. Either way would experience a painful struggle.

"What did Father tell you?" Shen Jiayan looked at Shen Qi and asked.

"What is it? Throw me away? " Shen Jiayan returned to that state of indifference.

Shen Qi laughed as she shook his head, "How could that be?" Seeing that his expression was the same, he couldn't help but add, "Actually, you can go overseas and take a look."

These words made it difficult for Shen Jiayan to speak properly, "I would like to, goods shipped from overseas can be sold at a good price in the capital."

"You can form a fleet and have them lead the way. We'll see if you decide whether you want to go or not." Shen Qi sincerely suggested. Shen Jiayan had always liked doing business, going everywhere in the sky, going to the south, sea and north, that was why all the Shen Qi s thought of this.

Shen Jiayan earnestly nodded his head, although a little bold, but it was still possible. He then laughed and asked Shen Qi: "You have so much dowry, do you want a portion of it?"

"Alright, that's what I was thinking." Shen Qi's especially straightforward answer stunned him for a moment.

Shen Jiazhen frowned, "Little Seven, don't mess around with your third brother."

"How am I messing around?" "What a serious business it is, isn't it, Little Seven?" When Shen Jiayan heard this, he was displeased, he immediately stood up to refute, and in the end, even asked Shen Qi a question.

Shen Qi nodded seriously, "That's right." She smiled sweetly.

"Of course, third brother doesn't believe me?" Shen Qi looked at Shen Jiayan with widened eyes, looking at my sincere little eyes! Then, she suddenly laughed, "Third brother, do you still have any capital?" Shen Qi knew that he almost wanted to use all of her knowledge for her dowry. Otherwise, he wouldn't be trapped inside the palace and unable to leave.

Shen Jiazhen shook his head helplessly. Shen Jiaxuan and Shen Jia Yao had really broadened their knowledge today, and had never known that Shen Jiayan and Shen Jiazhen would have such a moment like this, where they were completely relaxed in front of Shen Qi. Although Shen Qi had become the Queen's Consort, he did not put on any airs, as if he was still a little girl that was joking around with her brother.

Because of their mother's attitude and all of the various reasons, they did not interact much with her. To be able to make Shen Jiayan and Shen Jiazhen to place so much importance on her, they could tell that this little sister was very outstanding.

Shen Jiayan didn't care what they thought, and after hearing Shen Qi's words, he sat at a corner in a depressed manner, "I know you're a rich woman now, give it to third brother!"

Seeing Shen Qi smile and nod her head, Shen Jiayan finally returned to the main topic at hand. "Xiao Qi, don't change the topic.

After his objective was achieved, Shen Qi no longer changed the topic and directly said: "Father spoke about the Shen Fei and the other princes."

A smart person's conversation would have this benefit, it did not need to be said too thoroughly, everyone understood, and Shen Jiaxuan started to ponder, "Father, how do you say it?" However, they knew that because of this matter, none of them dared to walk further into the hall.

"Shen Fei is nothing to worry about. Father was too careful. His Majesty is wise now." There were many things that could not be said, but everyone understood that the truth was that the emperor would not implicate Shang Shu Manor because of the Shen Fei's matter.

"You can't blame Father for being cautious. The Shen Fei is becoming more and more public." Shen Jiazhen said.

"After all, she has no children. Moreover, she should be entering next year as a new person, right?" Shen Qi suddenly changed the topic, leaving the four of them at a loss.

Shen Qi laughed, "If I haven't guessed wrong, among the newbies next year, there will definitely be a very favoured concubine. No matter who she is, the attention of the imperial harem will be diverted by her, and the emperor will definitely make her give birth to an imperial son.

Shen Jiaxuan frowned at the same time. "Your majesty is starting to pave the way? Isn't it a little early? "

Shen Qi shook her head, "No, the emperor is currently in his prime, so the little prince has more of an advantage." For others, of course, but most people would think so.

Shen Jiaxuan said, "The others are also not stupid."

"Then what if her mother is powerful?" Shen Qi looked at him and asked a question in reply. If she gave others the false impression that she first doted on her concubine and then the little prince was extremely favored by the emperor and had such a strong mother clan, even if there was someone who could clearly see it, who could bear it? The people of the harem loved to strangle everything in its infancy.

"Then you're talking about the late emperor?" Shen Jiayan suddenly raised his head and looked at Shen Qi and asked.

Shen Qi shook her head, "No, although it's very funny, the late emperor really did love the Consort De, if not he wouldn't have left such an imperial edict in the end."

Shen Jiazhen: "These are just your guesses, I can't confirm it."

Shen Qi: "Let's just watch and see. When that time comes, Shen Fei will definitely not be able to hold back and take action, you better not be in the wrong team, furthermore, it is still too early to be standing in the wrong team. "

Shen Jiazhen: "We know this, Shang Shu Manor is far too famous. Forget about the Shen Fei, we are talking about you as the main wife of King Duanren, the prince's consort with military power, the Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion behind Jia Ning and father's official documents. Any one of these is a fearsome existence."

This was also one of the reasons that the Shang Shu Manor had always kept a low profile. However, the Shen Fei had jumped out from time to time to remind others of the Shang Shu Manor's situation.
