When they left, the Mother Song had packed quite a few things for them. "This servant saw that the wangfei really liked the bamboo shoots and dried bamboo shoots, so I brought some for you. There was still half a deer here, which the king had hunted down on the mountain." Mother Song had a benevolent expression as he spoke with a smile.

Shen Qi immediately stood up and took it from her, "Thank you for your concern, I just like these, the food you make is very delicious."

"As long as wangfei likes it." Mother Song was the wet nurse of King Duan, and had taken more time to take care of him than Esteemed Empress Dowager. She had heard of the things that had happened in the past few years and felt very sorry for the latter's situation, feeling pity for the fact that he did not have a trusted aide by his side.

He did not know how the rumors spread outside, causing the prince to be alone for more than twenty years. When Mother Song thought about how there would be no one who knew about the situation with the prince in the future, she felt upset, and how she would not be able to stay by his side to take care of him due to her health. When she left, she was also extremely worried.

At that time, he had been worried that his highness wouldn't be happy. She had watched him grow up, so it was natural that she had some understanding of his personality, and no matter how much she didn't like him after he entered the palace, he would still take into consideration his kindness and treat her well.

But her heart ached for the prince, and she was very worried for a period of time, afraid that she would be wronged the prince. This time, when Prince Xian brought the princess into the manor, the Mother Song realized that the prince did not dislike the special princess as much as he had imagined.

After two days of interaction with the Prince, as well as his arrangements, she was finally able to relax her tense heart. The Prince treated her differently, even though he might not have noticed it himself, but Mother Song, who knew him very well, could still tell that the Princess was different from the Prince. In front of her, he was relaxed and happy.

She looked at the princess again. Although she wasn't very old, she was a kind person with a jubilant appearance. She seemed to be a good person. As long as the prince liked her, everything would be fine.

Duke Xian was very satisfied with this, and directly instructed his servants to let him sleep on the carriage so that he would not cackle in his ears. He could tell that the consort seemed to respect his identity, and she had even asked him to come over to her side for a drink.

It couldn't be denied that the Xiao family was a family worthy of respect and respect, but her own wangfei's worshipping and attitude towards Xiao Mo was still very unpleasant!

Speaking of fighting on the battlefield to kill the enemy, he was also the same. Why didn't he see her worshipping and admiring him? On the contrary, he was on full alert and probed her in every possible way, afraid that he would cross the line. His attitude towards his wife was a bit weak.

Shen Qi didn't know what the Prince was thinking, but she suddenly missed him a little. In fact, this place was pretty good, it wouldn't be bad if the Prince had other plans in the future for her to give up his position.

Seeing that he had tactfully made this request, the Duke would probably agree to it, right? Shen Qi was a little unsure in her heart, after all, Duke Xian of this manor came here often, so would arranging a princess in her name affect his love life in the future?

Thinking about it, he shook his head again. Even if she wanted to send him, she probably wouldn't let him come here. The best ending would be staying in the corner of the mansion. After all, reputation was very important.

Seeing Shen Qi's change in expression, King Xian thought that Shen Qi was unwilling to part with this place, so he consoled, "If you want to come again, the day after tomorrow will be Grandfather's birthday. We shouldn't delay it for too long."

Shen Qi smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Seeing that she was truly happy, Prince Xian felt a little better. He picked up a book and started to read. He then heard the consort ask, "Is General Xiao alright?" She just felt that she drank too much yesterday, so she was a little worried today when she saw that he had been listless all this time.

After that, King Xian's good mood was immediately shaken by these words. "What can he do?" His tone was always cold and indifferent.

Shen Qi did not know what he was thinking, so she nodded and said, "It's good that you're fine." Then she picked up a book herself and began to read. She felt that Duke Xian might have felt like she was talking too much, so she shut her mouth and quieted down.

King Xian looked at the contented look on the princess' face and felt his heart clench. At the same time, he felt powerless.

After returning to the Duke Palace, Shen Qi busied herself with preparing birthday presents for the day after tomorrow. Shen Qi took out the gift slips from before, added and subtracted them from the basis, and discussed with the Jiang mama about how to prepare a new gift slip.

"Your Royal Highness, take a look and see if there's anything else that's inappropriate." Shen Qi showed him the gift in her hand for him to look through.

"With Jiang mama helping you, nothing bad will happen." He also knew that when the wangfei was at home and hadn't studied these things, it was inevitable that she would be a little nervous when it was her first time using it.

Shen Qi smiled and nodded. It was good that Master Wang felt that nothing was wrong, after he relaxed, he thought that those people who went back that day were all there, the members of the Residence of the Duke and their personalities. Although no one would be able to surpass her when she was the princess, it was still better to know more about her.

At that time, when men and women were separated, if she didn't know anything and her eyes were clouded, it would also be a matter of time. Thus, when Shen Qi asked Jiang mama about this, the servant girls by her side also listened attentively, remembering that they could also remind her when she had forgotten.

After getting the approval of the Duke, the Jiang mama had always treated Shen Qi with pity, and now, he was even more so focusing on teaching him. Shen Qi did not act like a consort as she learned very seriously and carefully, making even the people who were teaching him feel a sense of accomplishment.

After having dinner with the prince at night, Prince Xiang said, "Imperial Mother is worried and wants you to make a trip to the palace tomorrow. She has something to say to you."

Shen Qi was stunned for a moment, then reacted. That was true, although the empress dowager was the daughter of the Duke Yan, she could not easily leave the palace as the empress dowager, so she could only bestow some things on such a big day.

The reason he allowed her to enter the palace this time was probably because of this matter. He wanted Shen Qi to return as a messenger to tell her about the Old Duke's situation and so on.

Therefore, Shen Qi nodded, "I understand."

She actually felt sympathy for the women in the palace. Entering the palace and being as deep as the sea was not a joke. Entering that place, you would be stuck in that place for the rest of your life.

So many young girls with cardamom sprouts were fighting for a man's favor. They were always scheming in their hearts. Without a son, how could they give birth to a son? How could they allow a child to grow up smoothly and grow up? He still had to be on guard at all times. Ambitious craving for that position. Ambitious desire to find his own position.

In short, when she had no more worries in her life, even the empress dowager would be the biggest winner amongst the empress dowager's women. It would be lamentable if she didn't personally go over to celebrate her father's birthday!

Everyone has their own choice and can bear to part with it. Shen Qi could not say that she was right. But she actually understood the Empress Dowager as well. No matter what she did, it couldn't hide the fact that she was just a pitiful woman.

He was suppressed by the Consort De everywhere, and even the position of the eldest son, as the crown prince, was almost lost. In order to win over and ignore his youngest son, he wanted to make up for his deficiencies, but now, his youngest son no longer needed to seek protection under her wings.

Shen Qi would not refute her. On one hand, it was because of her status, on the other hand, she was an elder and the empress dowager. On the other hand, she did not have any confidence in her and Duke Xian's future, so even if the empress dowager wanted to do something, she did not have the courage to stop or resist her.

She felt that she had probably stayed in the palace for too long. The women in the palace were all a bit sick and paranoid, she wouldn't be able to get what she wanted, and if a woman couldn't conquer a man, she would make things difficult for the other woman, just like the empress dowager.

Therefore, even though Shen Qi felt that she was pitiful and pitiful, she still couldn't like her at the same time, and she definitely wouldn't get close to her. She was an old lady who always paid attention to her backyard and was prepared to add fuel to the fire.

But this time, there shouldn't be any other matters, I hope that I can safely enter the Tzu Ning Palace.
