When Fu Xuerou was wandering around King's Mansion with the servant girl, she unknowingly came to a relatively quiet place. She was curious about it so she asked the servant girl from the Duke Palace, "Who is living here? The environment is quite elegant. "

The maidservants from the Duke Palaces had also been trained, so they knew that this was an important guest and had to be treated well. They immediately stepped forward and replied: "Reporting to the Young Miss, the one staying here is the Orchid Lady."

"Lanxin?" She revealed a puzzled expression at the right moment, and the servant immediately explained to her, "Orchid Lady is from the Esteemed Empress Dowager Palace, and is good at making medicinal food. When the prince woke up, the empress dowager bestowed Lan Xin with the ability to heal him, and has been staying here all this time."

"Oh!" Fu Xuerou revealed a look of understanding, then turned to the servant beside her and said: "Since she is so kind to senior brother, I will go over to see her, it just so happens that we are here, let's go in to take a look."

The servants naturally could not say no, so they led the way, with one of them informing him in advance. When Fu Xuerou arrived at the Qin Lan Garden, she saw Lan Xin already standing at the entrance, welcoming him.

She was dressed in the attire of a big palace maid, but her clothes had been adjusted to reveal the outline of her waist. She was different from an imperial concubine, but she was also a beauty.

Thinking that she was a woman that coveted her Senior Brother, Fu Xuerou felt a burst of discomfort in his heart. Even a palace maid like you dared to covet a talent like Senior Brother, you were simply eating up the guts of a leopard!

However, thinking of this, he suppressed the unease in his heart and revealed a brilliant smile. "You came all the way here just to walk around. You wouldn't mind disturbing me, would you?"

Lan Xin also knew who this person was, so she smiled and greeted him, "Miss, you don't have to say anything. Please come here. I'm honored to have your presence at the Qin Lan Garden!"

When Fu Xuerou heard this, he seemed to be very happy. She stepped forward and pulled her hand, and after looking at her a few times, she sighed and said, "What a beauty, there are a lot of beauties in Senior Brother's residence, and there's an imperial concubine in the front courtyard. I didn't expect there to be someone here that's not inferior to her, it's really …" She hadn't finished her sentence, but everyone knew what she was trying to say.

In other words, she viewed the two of them as the kind of women who only had rights of being king. Lan Xin did not have any status, and upon hearing those words, her heart moved a little, but she suppressed it once more.

"Miss Fu must be joking, how can this lowly servant be compared to the wangfei? Please don't tease this servant, and besides, who else can compare to you in terms of beauty?" One look at Fu Xuerou's beautiful appearance was enough to attract a man's attention.

With that, he led into the parlour. After he invited Fu Xuerou to sit, Lan Xin personally served her tea and then spoke to her while standing.

Fu Xuerou immediately smiled and pulled her hand, "Are you courteous? You are the master here, you do not have the right for Master to sit with guests. Quick, sit down."

"Your servant …" Lan Xin was interrupted by Fu Xuerou before she could finish her sentence, "Don't talk about slave girls, I'm so bored to death. Sit down and chat with me." As she spoke, she very amiably pushed her to sit down, as if the two really had a very good relationship.

Fu Xuerou was satisfied in her heart, and casually chatted about some of the things that happened in the capital. She took the opportunity to ask her a few things about the King's Mansion.

Finally, he casually said, "The weather is hot here, so it's a good place to stay. It's quiet and cool here, so it's a good place to stay."

Lan Xin smiled gently. "If you like it, then come often."

Fu Xuerou immediately nodded happily, she was naive, "Alright, alright, it's cool here, and the tea is good, but at that time, you better not find me annoying."

Lan Xin naturally smiled and agreed. "This tea is a flower tea that this servant made herself. It will clear the heat and disperse the fire. If you like, this servant will wrap a bag for you."

Fu Xuerou was as happy as a child, "Thank you, then I won't be polite." Then she grumbled in both displeasure and resentment, "You don't know. I've been eating too much in the past two days and the wangfei even says she's feeling very dry all over. I actually eat this tea pretty well."

After saying that, he slapped his forehead in annoyance, "Aiya, I was supposed to talk to the wangfei together, but look at me, I forgot the time the moment I said it. I have to go first." As he spoke, he stood up.

Lan Xin calmly stood up to send him off. "I won't waste Miss Fu's time. Take care, this servant will send you off." Then, he took the box of scented tea that the servant handed over to Fu Xuerou and passed it to him, "This is the scented tea that Miss has just drank, please do not reject it."

Fu Xuerou laughed happily and said to Dong Mei: "You should keep it well. I really like this taste." Then, she pulled Lan Xin's hand and patted it. "Don't send me off either. I'm leaving."

After speaking, she quickly walked out of the Qin Orchid Garden. Lan Xin thoughtfully gazed at her back, feeling that she hadn't come that simply!

On the fifth day of the sixth month, Shen Qi was ready to wait for tomorrow's arrival. Now, Shen Jiayan had reached home on the second day of the sixth month, but because she had a lot of things to do, the two siblings had not met.

When he thought about how his second brother was going to marry Shen Qi tomorrow, even though he was still a little excited, Duke Xiang was naturally able to see that the wangfei was very excited today. He could not help but ask in amusement, "Are you really that happy?"

Shen Qi smiled and nodded, "That is only natural. Your highness doesn't know how difficult it is for Second Brother and Big Sister Xia to reach this stage." Indeed, she had experienced many things in the middle, which was why she was so moved and looked forward to it.

Previously, he was not too concerned about these things. Ever since he had married into the imperial concubine family, he had inquired about the circumstances of her family and also found out a bit about Shen Jiazhen and Xia Liangcheng's daughter. The two of them were already considered young men and women, so to be able to persevere till now was definitely not something he could say for now.

Thinking about it, he turned to Shen Qi and said: "Then let's be a bit more courteous to them."

When Shen Qi heard this, he smiled. She looked like she was in a good mood, "No need, I'm already prepared. It could even be described as a gift. Inside, there was only a pigeon egg-like South Pearl with a box inside, as well as a few rare ruby and sapphire stones. No matter which one was taken out, it would make people's eyes go red with envy.

Prince Xian thought about it and felt that it made sense. The imperial concubine had plenty of good things to herself, and the storehouses in the mansion also had plenty of treasures to offer.

Therefore, on the second day, Shen Qi dressed up. In order to support Second Brother and Big Sister Xia, dressed up like this in such a summer, Shen Qi felt that it would be difficult to do so for them.

Duke Xian had previously promised that he would go with Shen Qi, so he naturally fulfilled his promise as well. This made Shen Qi's mood even happier as she smiled all the way to Shang Shu Manor.

There was red everywhere in Shang Shu Manor today, even the trees were wrapped in red cloth. Most of the flowers were red, the servant girl's face was brimming with smiles, it was a very joyous scene.

Because King Duanren was following him, Shen Qi did not arrive early, but he was not the main focus of attention either. When they heard the servant report that "King Duanren and Queen's Consort have arrived," everyone came out to receive them. Seeing King Duanren carefully supporting his imperial concubine, everyone began to assess the weight of this Queen's Consort in their hearts.

When they sent the gifts, there were people who read the gifts on the gift slip, and when King's Mansion's gift slip came out, everyone was even more surprised. Such a thick gift was enough to show that Queen's Consort was an extremely favored person, if not, the Duke would not be giving face to his wife.

The old lady's face was filled with smiles, but she could not stop it. She did not expect that the one who would ultimately gain face for them would be this unsightly little granddaughter. Thinking of this, the old lady couldn't help but feel regret; she had not been nicer to her in the past.

Although the Shen Fei also had a reward, compared to the fact that the Queen's Consort brought Duke Xiang along in person and wore a big gift, it couldn't be compared to the difference, as the Lady Xu's feelings were extremely complicated.

She was extremely happy to be able to support her son, Shang Guan's son, but being able to suppress the eldest daughter also made her feel a little delicate. However, when she thought about how eldest daughter was pregnant and was going to become the next heir to the royal family, regardless of whether it was male or female, she could be considered to have someone to rely on.

At this moment, he heard a report, "The bride and groom are back!" Everyone turned to look at the door, only to see Shen Jiazhen dressed in red, and holding onto a bride who was similarly dressed in red with a red veil over her head, walking over slowly.

Where she should lift her foot, where she should go, the bridegroom whispered to the bride. This scene caused people to be moved, especially when Shen Jiazhen was a person with a cold personality.

Big Sister Xia would have obtained her happiness. Actually, at that time, when Shen Jiazhen had said that Xia Ying was also part of the one who took care of Shen Qi at the banquet, his personality was already cold and he wouldn't reveal too much of his feelings to others.

At that time, many people were shocked by his performance, but it was Shen Jiayan who told him later on that maybe Shen Jiazhen felt that a gentle girl like Xia Ying was something he wanted. Maybe it was because of some other reason, and not because of her narcissism, but no matter what, with his shadow, Shen Qi always felt that if he didn't live well, was the sinner.

That was why she was able to support them like this, hoping that they would be happy.
