Chapter 22 The bridal chamber

Shen Xuanji arched his head into Xue Zhen's arms and slept sweetly in a sense of security that he had not had for a long time.

The next morning, both of them were a little depressed. Because they had to visit the empress dowager and the emperor, they had to cheer up. Shen Xuanji changed into the princess's dress and stood with Xue Zhen, dressed in a green Luan court uniform embroidered with stone blue gold thread. It was just a pair of beautiful people.

The two sat side by side on their shoulders. Xue Zhen saw that Shen Xuanji's upper and lower eyelids wanted to be close and squeezed her hand. "Hear with it again. After seeing the empress dowager and the emperor, let's go home."

Shen Xuanji said "um", straightened his neck, sat upright, and tried not to show any fatigue.

In front of the "Shou'an Hall", the two went down on their shoulders and walked inward. Shen Xuanji's skirt was winding. Xue Zhen saw that she was walking hard, so he stood on his feet. When she came up, he took her hand to the hall.

Shen Xuanji was waiting to break free, but he felt too petty. He was a little embarrassed to be led by him like this.

In the "Shou'an Hall", not only the empress dowager and the emperor, but also the princess Li, the eighth prince and even the eighth princess all sat down with a smile.

Shen Xuanji and Xue Zhen were a little surprised, but both of them could hold it, so they smiled and worshiped them one by one.

"Otherwise, the ninth brother remembers the beautiful woman. I didn't know it until I saw my sister-in-law today." The eighth princess covered her lips and smiled softly, "Look at this style, it's not worse than the princesses in our palace!"

Shen Xuanji smiled as a very new bride, and the mosquito hummed, "You are really flattered. How dare I compare with Jinzhi Yuye!"

The eighth prince also came up and patted Xue Zhen on the shoulder affectionately. "In the future, if you have a princess, you will be like an adult. Don't fool around anymore." Xue Zhen couldn't remember how he had messed around, but he also smiled and arched his hand to the eighth prince. "Thank you for your advice. It's best to hope that she can be as virtuous and virtuous as Mrs. Wang."

The eighth prince was not good after hearing this. The eighth princess looked slightly embarrassed. In order to please the eighth prince, one concubine after another married him back to the royal palace. It is said that she is virtuous and not jealous, but which woman is willing to take a concubine for her husband? But Xue Zhen said good words, and her face was very sincere, and she couldn't say anything.

Although Shen Xuanji lowered his head slightly and pretended to be a quail, he actually looked at the six ways and listened to all directions. When he saw the eighth princess eating, he smiled secretly.

The emperor and Concubine Li were quite happy. They seemed to feel that their brothers were harmonious and their sisters-in-law, and they kept drinking tea and watching with a smile. Only the Empress Dowager seemed to smile. After waiting for half a day, she didn't find a gap to tell the young couple, but she saw that Xue Zhen had looked tired.

After all, she cherished her grandson, so she coughed a few times, said that she was tired, and asked Xue and his wife to leave the palace and return to the royal palace early.

Xue Zhengang was a little worried, but suddenly saw the Empress Dowager looking at him and quietly narrowing her eyes. He understood that the Empress Dowager was thinking of him and warmed his heart, so he pulled Shen Xuanji to kneel down.

The two got on the car and drove all the way out of the palace. At this time, Shen Xuanji stretched out his hand and rubbed his smiling cheeks. He turned his face and looked at it, but Xue Zhen was thoughtful. Is the prince worried about the Empress Dowager? She asked.

Xue Zhen did not answer, but said, "Only the Empress Dowager really loves me."

Shen Xuanji patted him, "Don't worry, I will definitely honor the Empress Dowager in the future."
