How could King Duanren not see that his Imperial Mother had made her avoid him on purpose? Moreover, he knew that the wangfei never liked going to the Shen Fei from the start, but he couldn't say anything at this point. He could only watch her walk out of the Tzu Ning Palace.

In fact, Shen Qi was more willing to directly return home, but since the empress dowager had already said so, if she didn't see it, it would be hard to explain everything to her when the empress dowager asked. Hence, she could only bite the bullet and head towards Shen Fei's Everlasting Palace.

Tzu Ning Palace, after Shen Qi left, Duke Duan directly asked, "Empress Mother, do you have anything to say to this son of yours?"

When the empress dowager first entered the palace, she had already finished recounting her thoughts, and had also expressed her concern for the Crown Prince. The empress dowager had first entered the palace, and had already recounted her thoughts, and had expressed her concern for the Crown Prince.

"What is Jing Ze going to do with the Wang family?" She did not directly ask about how to deal with Wang Ruoyan, but how to deal with the Wang family. If she did not even let the Wang family off, then Wang Ruoyan would naturally not be able to escape.

King Duan knew that his mother must have known that the person was in his hands. Otherwise, she would have punished that arrogant Wang Family's young miss long ago.

"Mother, there is no need to worry about this matter. This son will make his own decision." King Xian didn't answer, he just gave a general answer.

The empress dowager was clearly dissatisfied with his answer. She frowned as she asked, "Could it be that the rumors were true? You still have other intentions towards her?" At this moment, even the tone of the question was spoken, showing how dissatisfied he was.

King Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry at these words. "What are you thinking, Imperial Mother?" I still have a use for her. " He did not forget that Feng Kang had told him that there was someone who wanted to save Wang Ruoyan, and he wanted to know who the person behind all this was and what her motive was.

The empress dowager still knew who King Duanren was. Since he said that, it meant that there was something else, not because he had feelings for her. She didn't care what Jing Ze wanted to do, as long as he didn't want Wang Ruoyan!

She said amiably to King Xian, "It's fine as long as you know what you're thinking. Imperial Mother is afraid that you'll make a mistake."

"Now I have to let mother worry about me! This son is ashamed!" King Duan bowed to the empress dowager and spoke with a serious tone.

The empress dowager enjoyed these words and said happily, "Rest assured, all of you will be well." Then, he suddenly changed the topic and said to Prince Xian, "Speaking of which, you're no longer young. Your imperial brother already had several children when he was your age. Princess Huang, you're still young. Why don't you keep Lan Xin?"

Speaking of which, until now, the empress dowager's memories of Lan Xin who was sent to King's Mansion early were still fresh in her mind. It was all thanks to the powerful godmother she had, Aunt Ning, that in order to help Lan Xin stabilize her position in King's Mansion, the Aunt Ning fought with all her might and frequently brought up the existence of Lan Xin so that the empress dowager wouldn't forget about it.

And this early return of King Duanren once again gave Lan Xin and Aunt Ning hope. Thus, Aunt Ning took the opportunity to pretend to mention Lan Xin in front of the empress dowager, and then the empress dowager spoke out such words.

King Xian was speechless. The Queen Mother didn't know what was on her mind. She just kept thinking about stuffing him with women. She was thinking about her cousin before, but now she was thinking about Lan Xin again.

Yesterday, the wangfei was still trying to distance herself from Lan Xin, but now the empress had brought it up again. What would happen if the wangfei knew about it? He wanted to coax her, but it was too late, so why would he do such a thing? No matter what, Duke Xian knew that before the wangfei reached the age of thirty, she would beat up a woman in front of her, and even if she had a temper, she wouldn't easily let it go.

Although she was polite on the surface and had a smile on her face every day, he knew that her personality was definitely not as bad as how she showed off.

Although the Empress Dowager was somewhat displeased to hear this, she knew that she could not say more, otherwise it would easily arouse her son's displeasure. In order to get closer to her son, she eagerly asked, "Jing Ze, stay for the meal. Imperial Mother will have someone prepare your favorite dishes."

He himself had a cold personality, so he couldn't be cordial and intimate with others. However, when he saw his mother's cautious and expectant gaze, he couldn't bring himself to refuse. His mother had aged, so she had aged a lot since her father passed away.

Maybe he did not have a goal to fight with, and his whole person's energy and vitality was not enough, but his extreme temper still existed, so he displayed it when fighting with his own daughter-in-law, especially towards Queen's Consort.

King Xian wanted to say yes, but then he changed his mind. Princess Hua-Yang was still in the Palace. Should he go and bring her back? Seeing that the empress had no intention of bringing back the wangfei, Duke Xian felt a little uncomfortable. Why was it that his wangfei always had so many opinions? Didn't she know that making things difficult for the wangfei outside was making things difficult for him?

Thinking about it for a while, he lost the mood to stay, "Next time then. This son just returned to the capital and still has many matters to take care of. When I have time, I will come back to accompany my mother."

The empress dowager did indeed reveal a disappointed expression, but thinking that what he said was right, she forced a smile and said, "It was Imperial Mother's misgivings, but don't tire yourself out too much. Your health is more important." Thinking about it, he added, "Go back to the manor and ask Lanxin to make some medicine for you to nourish your body. Imperial Mother originally let her come over just to take care of your body."

King Xian knew that his mother would not give up, so he nodded. "This son understands." He then bid farewell and left the Tzu Ning Palace.

He had even wanted to send someone to pick her up, but he felt relieved just thinking about it. She probably didn't want to interact much with the Shen Fei, after all, the current situation that she was in was caused by the Shen Fei, so no matter what the result, it was impossible to make her fall in love with the Shen Fei.

He did not say anything. He nodded to her and sat with her in the carriage. He ordered, "Go back to the residence." He then took a book from the carriage and started reading.

Shen Qi carefully observed his expression and felt that there was nothing amiss in their conversation and thus, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

When he saw her relax, he could not help but find it funny. He rarely had any expression on his face, and what was strange was that the princess could always sense the changes in his mood. This also made him happy, so it was actually quite rare for someone to understand you.

Especially since this person had moved his mind. Living together, there were many things he had to consider. At the very least, he had to understand each other!

After Duke Xiang had returned, he had not once mentioned that he wanted to go see Wang Ruoyan. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not leave the palace and would only stay inside to accompany Shen Qi.

The two of them didn't really have much to talk about, it was mainly because Duke Xian had carried it out too thoroughly. For example, when Shen Qi wanted to find a topic to talk about, she just asked about the situation in Jiangnan.

If it was someone who could speak well, he would definitely be able to bring up a lot of topics to prevent the atmosphere from turning cold, but Duke Xiang was different. When Shen Qi asked him about Jiangnan's delicacies, he said, "Where exactly is the sweetness coming from? Fortunately, This King brought the chef from Beijing. " After saying this, he seemed quite pleased with himself, as if he was saying that he had foresight.

Shen Qi, "..."

"Jiang Nan has many talents. Has Your Highness seen anyone who can be of use?" Shen Qi felt that her master was worried about his country, and should be interested in the pillars of his country.

In the end, King Xian said, "A bunch of conceited individuals. They think they're amazing."

Shen Qi: "..."

"There are many beauties in Jiangnan, such as Liu Fu Feng, and Wu Nong's soft words. There must be something different about them." Shen Qi did not believe that a duke would not say a few more words.

"What's the flavor? It fell when the wind blew? "The voice is too small and the words cannot be spoken …" King Xian was critical of her words again, but before he could finish, he thought that the princess would ask a beauty in Jiangnan, "Is the princess jealous?" King Xian asked in a good mood.

Seeing Shen Qi's speechless face as she looked at him in astonishment, as if he didn't know how he had thought of this question, he didn't care what Shen Qi's reaction was, and just said to himself, "Princess, don't worry. This king still feels that Princess Wangfei is healthy." She was too embarrassed to say that he liked her like this.

Shen Qi, "..." How did he get to this topic? But, was that what the prince meant just now?

Thinking about it, Shen Qi felt that it was impossible, so she shook her head, wanting to get rid of those unrealistic thoughts. She changed the topic and asked: "Is the Prince busy recently?"

However, right now, she didn't ask him anything, but his heart was filled with a faint sense of loss. This thought had only appeared in his mind when he immediately suppressed it, so how could he have such a thought?

Hence, when she heard Shen Qi's question, she calmed herself down and said as calmly as she could, "Royal brother is currently planning for the selection and this king won't be able to help you out."

"Elite talent show?" So early? Shen Qi was a little surprised.

"It's just planning now." Noticing her doubt, Duanren Emperor explained.

Shen Qi nodded her head, then the Duke would not be able to help him with this matter, she would just let the stud horse suffer.

"Your second brother got married in June?" King Xian suddenly asked.

Shen Qi didn't understand how the topic of conversation could change so quickly. However, she still smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's set for June 6th." Shen Qi was in quite a good mood when she mentioned this matter.

Seeing the look of joy on her face, King Xian unconsciously said, "I'll accompany you when the time comes."

Shen Qi happily looked at him, and gave him a bright smile, "Many thanks, Your Highness!"

Without saying anything, he picked up the book and continued to read. Only he knew that he would not be able to read a single word, and his mind was filled with her smile. Her eyebrows curved, revealing two dimples, sweet to the heart.

How could someone smile so sweetly? Looking at her smile, you will feel that the world is full of beautiful, relaxed, happy to fly up.

Shen Qi didn't know what King Duanren was thinking, but when she saw that the Duke would lower his head and continue to read his book, she no longer bothered him. She secretly planned in her heart the wedding present that she would give to Second Brother, as well as the makeup for Big Sister Xia, no, it should be Second Sister's.

For a time, the room became quiet, but it did not seem awkward. Instead, there was a sense of comfort and warmth from the tranquility of time.

However, there were people who couldn't stand such a peaceful atmosphere. Following the servant girl's report, a bell-like laughter was heard. "Senior Brother, we have come to see you." He overrode the servant girls' announcement that there was a guest.

Hearing the commotion, King Duan Ling Tian frowned, but when he saw the person who had arrived he revealed a happy expression. Shen Qi looked at him coldly and couldn't help but guess the identity of the person.
