King Duan actually returned a quarter of an hour later than usual. Shen Qi thought that she didn't ask her what was the matter, and then accompanied him to eat breakfast.

Although Shen Qi had already eaten a bowl of bird's nest porridge before, she was still able to eat quite a bit during breakfast time. Furthermore, she ate with an especially fragrant meal, as Duke Xiang liked to eat with her.

After the meal, he would drink a glass of cow's milk, something that he didn't really like before. Later, when he went to the border to fight, people there drank it every day. He slowly accepted the taste, but he didn't expect his little princess to like it too.

Looking at her rosy white face, which had a healthy sheen to it, he felt that she really was a good person to feed and seemed to have grown a bit more, becoming more and more like a girl.

After rinsing his mouth, Duke Duanren did not immediately go to the study room. Instead, he sat opposite to Shen Qi as if he had something to say.

Shen Qi looked at him suspiciously, while Duke Xian tried his best to soften his expression, "Today, after the assembly, I see father-in-law." Actually, when it came to his father-in-law's words, Duke Xian felt a little awkward. It wasn't that he hadn't seen Shen Weiyuan before, but at that time, he had only treated him as a official.

Things were different now. Marrying her daughter hadn't happened even once since they got married. This kind of son-in-law really wasn't up to the standard.

Shen Qi was startled, "My father?" Isn't it normal to see him in court every day? " What did he say? "

Shen Qi immediately came to a realization. So that was how it was, it was definitely because her father didn't trust her when he heard the rumors outside. However, a married daughter wasn't someone that could be seen just by wanting to marry, let alone into the imperial family.

Asking King Duanren was just an excuse, and he still wanted King Duanren to convey his intentions so that she could return to her estate or send a message for the Lady Xu to come over.

After thinking through all of these, Shen Qi smiled and said: "I'm very good!" Indeed, it was very good. She didn't lie, she was eating well and living well now, she, the second oldest in the Duke Palaces had nothing to worry about, so Shen Qi was very satisfied with her current life.

As a result, his mood became better, and he who was in a good mood became better to talk. This, Shen Qi had yet to say anything, and had already started to make arrangements, "Tomorrow Mu Xiu, this king will bring you to Shang Shu Manor, what do you think?"

Shen Qi felt that it was good, although she did not like the Lady Xu, there were still a few people who cared about her, but, "Will it not affect the Duke?" She knew that King Xian was usually very busy, especially after the court began.

King Xian shook his head. "It's only been a day. It's no problem."

Since the big boss said that it was fine, of course she would not object. Shen Qi smiled and thanked: Thank you, Your Highness!

King Xian waved his hand. "Take a look at what you need to give Jiang mama to take care of." This meant that she could pick any one of them.

Being moved by his concern, Shen Qi thanked him with a smile, and in the end, urged him to follow the ordinary rules.

He was a prince so there was no need to curry favor with her family. Shen Qi was not worried about the others, but the third brother was the only one, and she was afraid that if anything that was said later on would displease the prince, so Shen Qi gave him a shot in advance, "My prince, my third brother is unrestrained and unrestrained, he might not have much scruples when he speaks, but if there is anything that provokes the prince, I hope that you can take some responsibility for him."

Back then, he had felt that his sister had been wronged while sending the crabs along with the dowry. It seemed that the two of them were on good terms with each other, lucky that the third young master had acted on behalf of his wife, lucky that he had started to plead on her behalf before meeting her.

Although he knew that this was the prince's concubine's older brother, King Duanren still felt displeased at Shen Qi showing such concern for a man. However, he would not reveal it at the moment, so he was rather curious about this Third Young Master.

It seemed easy to get along with him, but in truth, it was hard for him to be moved. To be able to make her spend so much effort to see just how much weight this Third Young Master held in her heart, and see what kind of person could hold a place for her in the heart of a wangfei.

Thinking about it this way, King Duanren magnanimously declared that he would not care. "You don't have to worry. This King will not care."

Shen Qi heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled as she thanked her. "This concubine thanks Your Highness first!"

Seeing that she was in such a good mood, King Xian didn't pay attention to her 'concubine'.

King Duanren kept his word and immediately sent someone to Shang Shu Manor in advance to inform them that the princes would bring the wangfei back to the mansion tomorrow, and then set off the next day after having breakfast.

This time was different from the last time Shen Qi went back. That time, it was true that King Duanren would definitely not come over, but it was different this time. King Duanren would come over as well.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Prince Xian had visited as a son-in-law. If it was someone else's son-in-law, they wouldn't be so nervous, but this was different. He was the prince of the dynasty, the prince with real power and a noble identity.

Sometimes, Shen Weiyuan would feel uncomfortable thinking about it, it was impossible to have a son-in-law with a high status, let alone avenging his daughter.

However, Duke Xian and his wife's carriage had not arrived yet, so Shang Shu Manor welcomed the Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion's carriage first. Second Miss and Second Uncle, Xue Yang, came over.

Shen Jianing and Xue Yang had always loved each other ever since they were married, and Shen Jianing was a famous talented woman in the capital. Even though she was a noble and noble person, her temperament was outstanding and her looks were extraordinary, and she had always been a flower of high mountains.

Xue Yang had his own nickname for the handsome, jade-faced husband in the capital. Every time he went out, he would come with a silk handkerchief and a large bag, which he couldn't hide from.

The two of them standing together were truly a pair, a match made in heaven and earth. When the Lady Xu saw Shen Jianing and Xue Yang, her originally not so wonderful mood immediately turned dark, and she welcomed them with a smile.

Shen Jianing was looking at his mother with a little unease. How did Shen Qi get married, was an open secret in the aristocratic circles in the capital. Shen Jianing naturally knew this, and she hadn't really understood his mother's thoughts before this.

Because of her personality, she wouldn't act very close to anyone. Plus, her mother didn't like the way she and Third Sister got too close. Third Sister always lived in a remote corner of the house, so they didn't get to know each other too much.

But that was still her own little sister. She also wanted to see her happy in the future. She didn't expect that an imperial decree would make her such an awkward existence.

If the Empress Dowager took a fancy to it or if the Emperor had said something on the spur of the moment, you could only accept that such a thing happened to you. It could also be said that it was the will of heaven, but the problem now was that this matter was completely man-made, and it was even your own sister.

When Shen Jianing found out about this matter at that time, she found it hard to believe. She knew elder sister had always been an outstanding person. Moreover, her mother doted on her, so she was the first to enter the palace. However, when she entered the palace, third sister was only three or four years old, so how could she be offended?

When Shen Qi returned to her room on the third day, her mood was rather subtle. She initially thought that Third Sister wouldn't return alone, because even if she didn't return, no one would say anything. Unexpectedly, she did, however, and she didn't know what her mother was thinking at that time.

This time, when Shen Jianing heard that Prince Duan was going to bring Third Sister back to the residence, she suggested that they should go back for a trip to the manor. wanted to meet this little sister, and coincidentally Xue Yang also wanted to meet the Third Sister.

The Marquis Zhong Yong Mansion was closer to the Shang Shu Manor than the King's Mansion, so they had arrived earlier than Duke Xian.

In the outside world, it was rumored that King Duanren brought a beauty the first time he entered the palace, so everyone imagined that Queen's Consort would wash their face with tears all day long, looking depressed, suffering, and haggard.

Thus, when everyone saw the princess dressed in a royal red dress embroidered with twigs and carried by Prince Duanren, with a ruby jewelry on her head that was the size of a pigeon's egg, it was sparkling and dazzling.

Looking at the princess' rosy white face, her eyes were clear and slightly curved. She had a smile on her face, and her lips were pink and plump. She was an existence that no one could ignore.

Everyone had a question. Who said that King Duanren didn't like Princess Hua-Yang? If she didn't like it, would she be able to personally bring her back to her parents' home? Wouldn't like to be able to personally help her off the carriage? Don't you like being able to raise one that is so attractive?

Liars, they were all liars! It was obvious that King Duanren and Princess Wangfei were on friendly terms. They were a match made in heaven, and must have been spread by those who envied and hated them.

Even Master Shen Weiyuan Shen Shu had this kind of thought. He had initially prepared himself to meet this waxen faced, haggard looking little girl, but seeing Shen Qi like this, he was unable to say anything.

Although he was the son-in-law of his family, he was still a prince. That was why Shen Weiyuan brought his family members over to pay their respects.

However, without waiting for them to kneel down, Duke Xian signaled Yan Yi to help him up, "This king is accompanying wangfei home today, it has nothing to do with the imperial court, there's no need to stand on ceremony."

Although Shen Weiyuan was very satisfied with Duke Yu's actions, he still said politely, "You can't pay."

"Father, the Prince doesn't care about these things. You don't have to be so polite. Let's go in." Shen Qi knew that King Duanren was getting impatient, so she opened her mouth to help.

Shen Weiyuan was a little shocked. How could the wangfei say such words before the prince? He hastened to apologize to the Prince, "My daughter is still young and doesn't understand. Please take responsibility for her rudeness."
