Chapter 1 Step by step

The next morning, Xiao Yuanqi woke up and saw Shen Sirong's blue and mottled back. He sat up and took out a Yuanpa from under Shen Sirong. A dry crimson on it was like a bright rose. Xiao Yuanqi knew that Shen Sirong was awake and suppressed his breath and said, "Get up, I'm going to see my father later."

"Yes, Your Highness." Shen Sirong's voice was extremely hoarse. She stood up behind Xiao Yuanqi's back, and the maids outside the door heard the noise coming in to serve. Shen Sirong hurriedly put on his coat.

Before the maids entered the inner room, Xiao Yuanqi walked to Shen Sirong and wrapped him around her shoulder. Shen Sirong did not dare to hide too obvious.

Xiao Yuanqi let go of her and said, "Remember your identity and don't let me find out that you have any more small actions."

Don't do it again.

Calling the maid in, Xiao Yuanqi turned her back and dressed. Hanmei approached Shen Sirong through the curtain and straightened her clothes.?

"Is that you? "Where's Hanxiang?" Shen Sirong asked when he saw Hanmei coming in.

Hanmei picked up a yellow embroidered phoenix-patterned belt and wrapped it around her waist and replied, "Mother, Hanxiang is served in the outer hall, and the bathing and changing clothes in the inner room are the responsibility of the maidservant alone."

She nodded thoughtfully. When Hanmei finished her clothes, she changed Hanxiang and came in to comb her hair. Hanxiang gently picked up her hair when she saw her hair stuck in her clothes.

Shen Sirong knew that Hanxiang would see her injury in this move, and she did not dodge. Her scalp hurt behind her neck, and Hanxiang's frightened face was reflected in the bronze mirror.

"I deserve to die, and I would like to ask the princess to forgive me."

Han Xiang lowered her head to plead guilty, and Shen Sirong looked at her blankly: "Okay, continue."

"Yes."

Xiao Yuanqi went to the side hall first, and Shen Sirong followed. Today, she is wearing the princess's formal dress, with a peach-colored background, embroidered with colorful phoenixes and skirts, with jewelry, flowers and nine trees, and fine clothes. A little nobleness was added to Shen Sirong's original manners.

"This princess's clothes are very suitable for you." Xiao Yuanqi looked at Shen Sirong who entered the hall and said with deep meaning.

"Thank you for your praise." Shen Sirong took the bowl handed over by freehand, which was filled with bloody bird's nest porridge. She lowered her head to concentrate on the meal and stopped talking.

On the way to Shangyang Palace, Shen Sirong has always turned his head and did not look at Xiao Yuanqi. Xiao Yuanqi was not indifferent last night, but some lessons are not given to her now. When she is really used by others, it will become an obstacle for him.

Yesterday, Xiao Ze, Emperor Yongkang, stopped for a day because of the prince's wedding. At this time, Xiao Ze was waiting for them in Zichen Hall.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince Xuan and the Crown Princess."

After Guo Guanghai passed the pass, he led them into the Zichen Hall. This is the first time that Shen Sirong came to the emperor's bedroom and crossed the red paint threshold to enter the golden glory. The golden dragon hovered on the red beam, with black stone bricks under its feet, straight through the hall and standing in front of the dark red dragon case.

"My son (son and daughter-in-law) met my father and emperor, long live my emperor." She knelt down half a step away from Xiao Yuanqi and bent down to salute.

"Let's have a flat body." Xiao Ze's voice always made Shen Sirong feel panicked.

"Thank you, Father." The two of them got up and approached Xiao Ze with Mother Lan behind him. What did they say in his ear? Xiao Ze nodded with a smile on his face.

Xiao Ze hooked up and asked Guo Guanghai to give Shen Sirong a lot of jewelry.

"Yuan Qi, you go outside and wait. I want to say a few words to the crown princess alone." Xiao Yuanqi looked up uneasily and saw that Xiao Ze's eyes were very firm, so he had to bow to the order.

Shen Sirong didn't know what the emperor meant to leave her. Did he know that Xiao Yuanqi only existed in that letter? The emperor will not let her go easily.

No one in this palace is simple. Although Xiao Yuanqi went too much last night, he was at least the only person he was familiar with in the palace. Now even he had to go out. Shen Sirong's heart was forced to his throat and she lowered her eyes.

The left hand suddenly warmed, and Shen Sirong looked to the left. When Xiao Yuanqi turned around and walked out, he gently shook her hand, and the warmth touched made her mind calm down a little.

Without waiting for Shen Sirong's reaction, Xiao Yuanqi shook his sleeve and passed by.

There were only Xiao Ze and Shen Sirong left in the hall. Shen Sirong suppressed his panic, smiled slightly, and tried his best to keep his voice stable: "I don't know what happened to his father and his daughter-in-law?"

Xiao Ze also smiled: "Oh... Oh... Oh, okay, okay. I finally saw the wrong person."

Seeing that Shen Sirong was puzzled, Xiao Ze brushed his beard: "I ask you, why do you think I chose you as the crown princess? Huh?" Shen Sirong also thought about this problem, but she had no clue. It was said that her family background was not qualified at all. Even if it is reluctantly elected, it will not help the prince. But this time, it was the prince who took the initiative to choose her.

"Don't you know? Or don't you dare to say it?" Shen Sirong's silence made Xiao Ze ask further.

Shen Sirong looked straight into Xiao Ze's eyes: "Go back to my father and emperor, I really don't understand why." Now no matter what you answer, there is a possibility of causing trouble. If you answer correctly, Xiao Ze will either appreciate it or take precautions. If you dial the wrong number, tell him clearly that you don't deserve this position.

For the emperor, useless people often have no good end. Seeing that the emperor wanted to open the window and talk to her, she had to take it step by step.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I know that you are a smart person. In the future, you have to stand beside the prince. He is the person you want to stick to. If you have any other thoughts, just accept them."

Xiao Ze's words made Shen Sirong confused: "Father, my daughter-in-law has never had any other thoughts."

Looking at Shen Sirong's still unsalty reply, Xiao Ze was very impatient: "You didn't? On the Feng stage that day, do you think I can't hear that you deliberately played the wrong sound?

"The emperor calmed his anger." Shen Sirong originally wanted to plead guilty for the matter of that day, but when he thought about it again, this plea solided the reputation of bullying the king, and anyone in the future could hold her handle.

Xiao Ze suddenly laughed, and his heroic and domineering smile echoed in the hall.

"Okay, okay, I really didn't miss it. You are indeed the most suitable person to be a princess." The frankness in the sound of the piano shows her heart, and her behavior is appropriate. The most rare thing is that she is not chaotic in the face of danger. Even in the face of his anger, he can stay awake.

Very good.

"Go down, I hope you won't let me down." Xiao Ze's face returned to calm. He and Shen Sirong looked deeply again. Shen Sirong lowered his head and said, "Yes, but please rest assured."

After saying that, Shen Sirong turned around and walked out of the hall, with a burning feeling behind her. She knew that the emperor had been looking at her, so she walked particularly steadily.

It was not until she left the Zichen Hall and stayed away from the suffocation that Shen Sirong loosened. She changed her breath and walked to Xiao Yuanqi's side: "Your Highness, do you want to go to the Empress Shufei?"

"No need." Xiao Yuanqi coldly denied it.

But just a few steps away, he stopped and said to Shen Sirong, "Well, I'll go back to the East Palace first. You can go to Shufei's place."

I don't know why he changed his mind, but Shen Sirong still agreed that she should go there. Concubine Shu is now the head of the harem. When she first entered the palace, she must not be rude.

Coincidentally, when they did not reach Zilan Palace, they met Shufei when they passed through the imperial garden. When Shufei saw that Shen Sirong also stopped, Shen Sirong went forward to salute: "Thank you, Princess Shu."

"Princess is polite." Concubine Shu and Shen Sirong walked into the garden, and the maids of honor followed them not far away.

Shufei stopped in front of a peony and pointed to the largest one and said, "Look, how well that flower is. Unfortunately, there are so many flowers in the palace that it is easy to be forgotten."

After saying that, she looked at Shen Sirong carefully. Yuan Feng had a good vision, but now Shen Sirong is already the crown princess, and Shufei's eyes flashed.

"Yuanfeng was very drunk last night." With that, she stared at Shen Sirong, but found that there was no big fluctuation on her face. Does she have no affection for Feng'er? That's a little difficult.

Shen Sirong has been 120 minutes since Shufei began to speak. On that day, she clearly saw that Shufei's heart was deep, so when she heard Shufei's tentative words, her face was still calm.

"It's getting late. Sirong is going back." After saying that, Shen Sirong bowed and worshipped, but this worship made Shufei's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth smiled: "Well, I won't leave you in this palace. Remember to come to Zilan Palace when you have nothing to do."

"Sirong remembered it." Looking at Concubine Shu go far away, Shen Sirong recruited someone to return to the East Palace.

It was only half a day, but Shen Sirong felt weak. As soon as I returned to the Moon Hall, someone came outside to report that the prince's concubines came here.

Shen Sirong subconsciously frowned. Yes, there are still concubines to deal with in the East Palace. She stood up and asked the wet nurse to tied her clothes before going out again.

"You're tired today. Take a break." Before he walked out of the door, Xiao Yuanqi came in.

"But outside..." Although Shen Sirong was surprised that his attitude had changed at this moment, he still didn't answer. Now that he had entered the palace, it was necessary to deal with these women.

Xiao Yuanqi glanced indifferently, and Wang Guangrong led the maid out: "It's okay. I have sent someone to tell them to come back in the afternoon.

Shen Sirong knew that his move would only make her have more obstacles in the East Palace, but she could only endure it. She sat opposite Xiao Yuanqi and waited for his follow-up.

"Tomorrow you have to go back to Shenfu to return to Ning. I have asked someone to prepare the things. At that time, I will give you a gift first, but you need to have enough gifts in return.

Originally, Shen Sirong thought he would ask what the emperor said to her today, and what she said to Shufei, but he didn't say a word.

"I'm waiting for Your Highness's gift." Thinking about it roughly, she raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Yuanqi slightly indifferently.
