Shen Qi knew that she said a little too much today, but she couldn't just watch Shang Shu Manor get into danger for the sake of Shen Jiayan and Shen Jiazhen.

The emperor had always been the heir of a concubine who controlled the power of his mother's clan. However, this sort of thing could very well cause speculation and discontent in the outside world, as well as easily stir up trouble for the empress and the First Prince. He himself had never received the protection of his father, but he was now willing to give his son the protection that he desired.

Therefore, the Emperor would definitely think of a way to make up for this loophole once he made his move. This meant that next year's talent show would be a chance, and that she would definitely not be a concubine who did not need to show any of her mother's power.

It didn't matter if her guess was wrong or not. She was an immortal and he didn't lose anything from her, but once he guessed it, maybe he could really save Shang Shu Manor from disaster in the future.

Shen Weiyuan could see clearly that things might not be good, but what about Shen Jiaxuan? What he said sounded nice and gentle, but what he said sounded bad was soft in the ears. He would never be ruthless to the Lady Xu, otherwise, he wouldn't hate her so much that he wouldn't be in contact with her at all.

With the Lady Xu's pampering towards the Shen Fei, at that time, maybe Shen Jiaxuan would help the Shen Fei. He did feel that it would be alright to help out with a small matter, but outside, it represented the entire Shang Shu Manor.

When Shen Qi was speaking, she paid attention to Shen Jiaxuan's reaction. Seeing that he was serious and revealed a cautious expression, Shen Qi knew that he took her words to heart, and that was good, if she was to really say it, then she would be even more cautious. At that time, she would not be afraid of Shen Fei's schemes.

Therefore, Shen Qi felt that she had successfully completed today's mission and that it was time to return to his residence. It just so happened that Shen Weiyuan had sent someone to inform Yan Yi to bring the wangfei back to his residence.

So Shen Qi stood up and bowed, "Then Xiao Qi will be returning to the house."

Shen Jia Yao, who had been silent all this while, suddenly stood up and handed a box to Shen Qi. Under Shen Qi's surprised gaze, her face turned red, and she said embarrassedly: "I accidentally obtained this thing, let me give it to Third Sister to play with." Then, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Shen Qi's gaze.

Shen Qi smiled and received it, "Thank you Fourth Brother! I think I would like it. "

Seeing Shen Qi like this, Shen Jia Yao also became happy. He was the youngest son of the family, and was also one of the Dragon and Phoenix Sect disciples, favored by both and the old lady. She had a rather innocent personality, and because of the relationship between the Lady Xu and him, although she wasn't close with Shen Qi, he still wouldn't become hostile to him.

He knew that his mother treated her unfairly, and that he actually felt disgusted in his heart, even more so than when others felt that he owed Shen Qi. He had always thought that it was him who stole Shen Qi's doting away, so he blamed himself in his heart.

Now that Shen Qi realised that she had a good personality and was kind, and now that she accepted his gift and said that she would like it immediately, the other three people started laughing.

Shen Jiazhen: "Alright, Xiao Qi should hurry up and leave. Just forget about the words you said today when you came out of this pavilion."

Shen Jiaxuan nodded his head in agreement.

In fact, when Shen Jiazhen and Shen Jiayan saw Shen Qi quietly observing him, they knew that Xiao Qi was actually here for Big Brother to listen to. Big Brother is a gentle and kind person, it was hard to avoid hearing him.

In fact, Shen Qi could completely ignore her. She was a married woman and a Queen's Consort, so there was no way she could get involved. She might even be able to vent her anger and make the Lady Xu suffer.

Shen Jiayan shook his head, and said softly from behind, "Xiao Qi is still soft-hearted." Shen Jiazhen was right in front of Shen Jiayan, so he had naturally heard of his words as well, "Whoever treats her well, she will definitely live up to his expectations."

Shen Jiayan smiled bitterly. He didn't expect that they would kidnap Xiao Qi's family members right now, too. Shen Jiazhen waited for him to walk side by side with her, then patted his shoulder. "Xiao Qi, you know what's going on. So you didn't force her.

Just as Shen Qi left, the Lady Xu sent someone to look for Shen Jiaxuan because he had something important for him.

Previously, she did not care about it because Shen Qi was just a nobody of the Shang Shu Manor. Even if the Lady Xu did not have any human or financial resources, he would not be able to do anything as long as he wanted to. Furthermore, the Shen Fei was the concubine of the Emperor, so she was naturally not afraid that Shen Qi would do something rash.

But it was different now. Shen Qi was a proper Queen's Consort, a first-rate princess, and a Shen Fei in front of her, it would be really convenient for her to do anything.

If she had known earlier, she would have married her into a noble family, so that she would forever be a lowly person in front of the Shen Fei. She wouldn't have dared to go against his orders.

The thing she had to do now was to seek support for the Shen Fei. She did not dare to tell Shen Weiyuan, because the fact that Shen Weiyuan himself had entered the Shen Fei Palace had caused Shang Shu Manor to fall into a struggle for the throne. She had been unwilling to be implicated with him for the past few years.

So the only person she thought of was Shen Jiaxuan, the direct descendant of Shang Shu Manor, the future leader of the family. Shen Qi was right, the Lady Xu had placed all of his treasures on Shen Jiaxuan, and hoped that Shen Jiaxuan would help him stabilise his position.

Shen Jiaxuan was also drenched in cold sweat after hearing Shen Qi's analysis previously. He knew that he was soft-hearted and unkind to his own mother and sister, but he had to be tough for the sake of the entire Shang Shu Manor.

Shen Qi thought about what she had said and then observed her words. She knew that this little sister was here specifically to remind him that he was soft-hearted, but that did not mean that he was stupid.

Shen Jiaxuan rarely came into contact with this little sister, and this time, it gave him a huge shock. She had thoroughly analyzed everyone's thoughts and thoughts, and had clearly seen everyone's strengths and weaknesses, such a clever little sister, if she was willing to show it off, then her reputation in the capital would definitely not be any less than that of Shen Fei and Second Sister.

However, even such a character was willing to remain unknown in a small corner of the Shang Shu Manor for more than ten years. When he thought about it now, he still felt pity for her. No wonder her second and third brother were so concerned with her.

Just because she had specially come over to bring up this matter, Shen Jiaxuan felt that ordinary men would not necessarily have such a heart.

Therefore, when Lady Xu mentioned the Shen Fei, for the first time, Shen Jiaxuan did not immediately agree to Mother's request. Instead, he comforted her with a few words, "Mother, do not worry. It was just a few empty words without any promise.

Lady Xu didn't know about the change in her eldest son, because he had always been very supportive of her words. Thus, when she heard Shen Jiaxuan's words, she actually calmed down.

The moment Shen Jiaxuan came out from his mother's courtyard, he went straight to his own courtyard. All along the way, he kept thinking about the matters of the Shen Fei. Shen Jiaxuan had to say that he was starting to understand more and more about Shen Fei.

No matter what happened in Shang Shu Manor, Shen Qi led the guards and escorted them back to King's Mansion. It was already late in the night, so Shen Qi returned to wutong garden to change into her usual clothes, washed up, and then went to Main yard.

"Princess, would you like to rest for a while before going over?" Wang Ma asked softly, afraid that Shen Qi would be tired.

Shen Qi shook her head and laughed: "Aunty, it's fine, I'm not tired. Let's go take a look and then we can come back for dinner."

The Wang Ma also knew that she couldn't persuade her, but this was good as well. She wanted to let the people in the Duke Palaces see the respect their young miss had for King Duanren and arouse their sympathy and respect. That way, even if the Duke didn't like the Royal Consort in the future, he would have a place in the King's Mansion.
