Chapter 2 Don't Touch Me

She understood that the key to getting Xiao Yuanqi's trust is not what she said or what she did, but how she did it.

"Good." Sure enough, Shen Sirong's indifference and unconsciously revealed arrogance did not make Xiao Yuan angry. Xiao Yuanqi stayed in the Moon Hall for lunch and took a nap before leaving.

After having lunch in the afternoon, Shen Sirong sat in the main hall of the Moon Hall waiting to see the concubine of the East Palace. She left her wet nurse and Hanxiang by her side, and she was worried about others.

She has roughly understood the pattern of the East Palace. Xiao Yuanqi is not a lustful person. Except for her, there are only two famous concubines who live in Fengyin Pavilion and Qiujuyuan in the west.

Just after the time, an internal supervisor came in to report and announced that they had entered the hall. Shen Sirong stared at the door of the hall with twelve points of energy. After a while, two delicate figures entered Shen Sirong's eyes one after the other. The one in front is wearing a sapphire blue cardigan skirt, with a large flesh color on his chest. He can faintly see the gradual ups and downs. His skin color is light brown, but his facial features are very deep. His eyes are raised and his nose is straight. Unfortunately, he looks like an exotic woman. Unfortunately, his behavior is full of weakness, which folds most of the amorous feelings. But fortunately, she is weak, otherwise the prince would not like it.

The woman behind her was wearing a goose-yellow silk shirt. Her facial features seemed ordinary, but her eyes were very quiet. Shen Sirong looked at her more, but from her walking posture, she was also delicate.

Shen Sirong has long heard that the prince is so weak and beautiful. Sure enough, this makes her not understand why Xiao Yuanqi likes her. If she is weak, she can't get along with her.

"The humble concubine Wu Wanqing (Liu Ran) knocked on the crown princess. I'm in peace." Both of them are in the side room, but because they have no grade, they still have to kneel when they see Shen Sirong.

Shen Sirong has been watching each of their looks and movements carefully. The exotic woman's name is Wu Wanqing, the adopted daughter of Shangshu. Her waist was stiff when she knelt down, which should be reluctant. But the one named Liu Ran is much more humble and does nothing. But the more so, the more Shen Sirong paid attention to her.

"Excision, there are only three of us in the East Palace, and the life is still clean and good." Shen Sirong's words were telling them that she was a person who didn't want to fight and asked them not to make small moves.

"What the Empress said."

According to the rules, they can call her sister, but Shen Sirong didn't open this mouth, and they didn't dare to make a step. Shen Sirong asked them to sit down.

Shen Sirong smiled and saw that neither of them had said anything, so he took the initiative to say, "When you two have nothing to do, you might as well come to me." It is the rule for them to come to greet them every day, but it is different in nature from what she asked them to say hello. Her words are saying hello to the two people.

And Wu Wanqing and Liu Ran had been obedient not to speak before. Now when they saw Shen Sirong open their mouth, their courage gradually increased a little. Liu Ran answered softly, "That's natural. I'm afraid that my sister will drive us away when she is bored.

After a few more words, Shen Sirong sent them down on the pretext of physical fatigue. As soon as they left, the wet nurse frowned and said to Shen Sirong, "Mother, that Wu Wanqing doesn't look like a good character. On the contrary, Liu Ran looks more kind. But..."

"Oh? But what, wet nurse, let's talk about it. Shen Sirong wants to see the wet nurse's opinion.

The wet nurse looked around carefully and made sure that there was no outsider and said, "The Wu family has been rigid since he entered our Moon Hall, and he is arrogant. And... she didn't look good at her mother. After all, in the palace, the wet nurse spoke very carefully. She was afraid of getting into trouble, and it would not be good to talk about Shen Sirong at that time.

Shen Sirong nodded, saw the wet nurse's hesitation, and said soothingly, "Nanny, continue to say, I'll listen."

After hearing this, the wet nurse continued to say, "As for the Liu family, she looks fine, but it doesn't make people want to get close. Maybe it's the maidservant's heart.

"Hmm."

Shen Sirong did not make any comments on the wet nurse's words. The wet nurse is cautious and accurate, so she just wants to see the wet nurse's opinion.

If anyone really wants to make a move, she will just see the trick.

"Bear by the way, Madam, you just forgot to ask something." Hanxiang suddenly made a sound beside him. In Shen Sirong's eyes, her actions and words are of some weight, not ordinary people.

But as soon as he said the cold fragrance, he felt more, but fortunately, Shen Sirong didn't feel abrupt, but just asked, "What's the matter?" She said, "It's about the management of the East Palace. Madam, you are the owner of the East Palace, and the affairs in the East Palace are managed by you.

For Shen Sirong, Han Xiang's words reminded her of a question. Who is in charge of the East Palace now? The people in Guandong Palace must not be simple. It was clear that no one mentioned this matter just now, and it seems that they are not idle later.

Shen Sirong nodded with a clear nod: "I know. I will ask about it when it's time. Now, it's too early..."

Han Xiang saw that Shen Sirong had his own plan and said nothing more.

That night, Xiao Yuanqi did not come to the Moon Hall, but stayed in the study. When Han Xiang came into the house to report, Shen Sirong was very careless.

"Mother, do you want me to invite your Highness?" Han Xiang looked at the sky.

Shen Sirong put down the pen in his hand and said, "No, hang the lamp and go to bed."

"Yes, the maidservant left." Han Xiang saw that Shen Sirong's attitude was unusual and moved. But he also retreated quietly. Before he reached the door, Shen Sirong's voice came: "Hanxiang, wait."

"Madam..." Shen Sirong looked at her with a smile, which made her uneasy.

"Don't be nervous. I just want to ask you, did you see my injury today? Shen Sirong didn't want to sell the key anymore and said bluntly. She was afraid that the injury would be seen by outsiders, so she only let Hanmei beat her hands and not let her see it. But it's intentional for Hanxiang. It's hard to ask during the day. At this moment, she can't let go if she has a chance.

Now she is a pawn. The emperor looks at her like this, the prince looks at her like this, and Shufei looks at her in the same way. In just one day, she went through many trials. The emperor asked her to stay by the prince's side. The prince asked her loyalty to change what she wanted. Concubine intended to use the love of King Li to control her. If she didn't know how to think about herself now, she wouldn't even know how she died.

Shen Sirong has seriously thought about it. Whether it is out of general or selfishness, the prince is her best choice. She can't help herself in this deep palace. And there is no personal relationship between Liwang and her.

"The maidservant saw it." Han Xiang replied.

Shen Sirong opened her skirt, and her snow-white neck was exposed, with mottled marks on it, which made her skin look like snow. Shen Sirong pointed to the wound and said to the cold fragrance, "This is thanks to you."

"I know that my maidservant is guilty." Han Xiang immediately knelt down and kowtowed several times. Shen Sirong did not stop her until her forehead showed redness and swelling.

"Knowing guilt? What's wrong with you? Just did what you should do. You told the prince what you said in King Li's letter, right? Humph, you must have told the prince what I said to Shufei today, right?

The opposite of Shen Sirong and Hanxiang is exactly what Xiao Yuanqi thought, otherwise he would not have read the poem. His move was to tell himself that Hanxiang was his man.

As for the reason, Shen Sirong is not sure for the time being, but Xiao Yuanqi seems to believe Hanxiang's words. So she did this to show her sincerity to him.

"Yes." Han Xiang knelt down and straightened up. At this moment, her eyes were full of frankness.

Shen Sirong smiled angrily, and his eyes were also soft. Under the orange candlelight, her face was covered with a layer of tulle beauty.

"Good. Since you are the person trusted by the prince, that's what I can trust. It's late at night. Go down and have a rest. Shen Sirong asked her to leave, but Han Xiang was very puzzled: "Mother?"

"Do you want to ask me why I trust you? I have already said that because you are the person you trust, and if you hurt me, you will not remind me of the responsibility of management today. Go down." With that, Shen Sirong walked slowly to the screen and raised her head. She happened to see the delicate shadow in the wide clothes projected on the screen by candlelight. Her pupils shrank and quickly lowered her head and retreated.

Just changed her clothes, and there was a cold wind on her back, which made her stand up gently. Shen Sirong turned her head and saw that the screen had been opened. She frowned at the people and said in surprise, "Your Highness? Why did you come here?" Xiao Yuanqi's eyes shook on Shen Sirong, making her unconsciously straighten her waist.

"Do I have to report in advance when the prince comes to the princess's room?"

Xiao Yuanqi came forward and wrapped around Shen Sirong, but she was very stiff because of his closeness. Xiao Yuanqi's narrow eyes revealed a dark light: "Go to bed, princess."

After saying that, Xiao Yuanqi lowered his head and held Shen Sirong's earlobe, which was pink like a newborn. At this moment, his thin hair trembled because of Shen Sirong's nervousness. Shen Sirong shook the situation last night in her mind, and she pushed Xiao Yuanqi hard. Xiao Yuanqi bit her earlobe after feeling her resistance.

Shen Sirong was in pain and simply stopped pushing him, but made his body stiff. She can retreat, but she can't accept this now.

"You don't want to?" Xiao Yuanqi was puzzled that a woman dared to resist him.

Shen Sirong turned around and didn't look at him. He said lightly, "Yes, I don't want to. I don't want to experience what happened last night again. So the prince should go somewhere else to rest.

Her reason told her that it was wrong to do so. It was not good for her to take revenge and push the prince out. On the contrary, it would angered him. But her body really reflected her emotions, and she couldn't accept his approach. She is afraid of...

Yes, she will also be afraid.
