Chapter 115

Xiazi stepped forward: "What happened? Can't you see His Highness is in trouble?"

The young eunuch quickly spoke up: "Your Highness, just now the Crown Princess sent her head maid to the laundry department."

The head palace maid was dragged away when she left. The servants heard that she was punished by being sent to the laundry department to wash three months' worth of clothes because she hadn't served the Crown Princess well.

This is a junior eunuch in the Eastern Palace. Whenever Shen Qingnian has any important matters to report to Song Xuan, he will come here.

"The Crown Princess is furious," Xia Xiazi remarked, then shrank back.

The reason the Crown Princess got angry was because of her son, His Highness...

It's true what they say: when masters quarrel, servants suffer.

Song Xuan glanced at Xia Zi indifferently, finding him quite noisy, and said, "You also want to go to the laundry department?"

"No, no, please spare my life, Your Highness," Xia Xiazi pleaded repeatedly.

Song Xuan didn't say much, and strode towards the East Palace.

Half an hour later.

Song Xuan arrived at the entrance of the sleeping quarters. Behind him, Xia Zi was carrying a food box containing dishes that Song Xuan had personally prepared.

The door to the bedchamber was open, and Xia Zi immediately smiled and said, "The Crown Princess is welcoming His Highness."

Opening the bedroom door means letting people in.

Looking at her master's face again, which had changed from serious to its usual gentle expression, Xia Xia secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought to himself, "It still depends on the Crown Princess."

Song Xuan stepped into the sleeping quarters.

The palace was filled with the familiar scent of jasmine. Shen Qingnian was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, resting. The palace maid who had been guarding the bedside had been replaced by a maid named Zhu Lan instead of Xiao Ju.

Zhu Lan was a second-class palace maid, and she has now taken over Xiao Ju's position.

Upon hearing footsteps, Shen Qingnian opened her eyes and looked over.

The man was dressed in a moon-white robe, with handsome and gentle features, and looked like an immortal.

She glanced at him briefly before turning her head away, as if she didn't want to talk to him.

Song Xuan sat down on the edge of the bed and said softly, "You haven't had breakfast yet. Would you like to have it first?"

“These were all made by His Highness the Crown Prince himself, and they are all dishes that Your Highness the Crown Princess likes,” Xia Zi said at the right moment.

Shen Qingnian simply said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, but I have no appetite."

The two of them always referred to each other as "I" in private, so her current way of addressing him clearly shows that she is still angry.

Song Xuan frowned at her cold words, but still humbled himself and explained, "After the palace banquet last night, Prime Minister Shen and several ministers had urgent business with me, which is why I came back late."

It was indeed my fault. I apologize to you, and please don't be angry anymore, okay?

By the end, Song Xuan's tone even carried a hint of humility, which frightened Xia Zi behind him so much that she trembled and quickly pulled Zhu Lan away.

We dare not listen to these words that could cost us our lives...

Shen Qingnian remained unmoved upon hearing this, and only said in a low voice, "This concubine really has no appetite, please do not blame me, Your Highness."

Her tone was indifferent, carrying a hint of detachment, which made Song Xuan very uncomfortable. He would rather she argued with him than have her act so coldly.

Song Xuan felt somewhat lost and upset, but it was indeed his fault, and Qing Nian refused to forgive him...

A bitter feeling welled up inside him, making his heart ache slightly. He felt that the other person's cold attitude was more painful than a big argument with him.
