Chapter 261
Shen Qingnian looked at Meng Yun and said, "If the goddess could truly protect the people, then the Third Prince wouldn't be here. It's just some illusory faith."
Emperor Chongmeng, under the guise of national peace and prosperity, seized the goddess and took her to his bed, a despicable and disgusting act.
Meng Yun chuckled softly, handed the repaired kite to Xiao Shenxi, and then said, "Miss Liu is absolutely right. It is the Goddess's good fortune to be able to stay in Da Xuan."
His tone carried a mix of emotion and relief, which drew Shen Qingnian's attention.
This third prince seems to be an old acquaintance of that goddess, but since the goddess was chosen from among noble ladies, it is not unusual for the two to know each other.
“It’s getting late, so I won’t keep Miss Liu any longer,” Meng Yun said, bowing to her.
Shen Qingnian nodded, exchanged a few more pleasantries, and then led the two little ones away.
On the road.
Little Shenxi held a large kite, her eyes shining brightly: "Mommy, can we go play with big brother again next time?"
While repairing the kite, Meng Yun was very nice, which made the two children very happy.
After returning to the palace, the little girl had no playmates except for Xiao Yanqing. Xiao Yanqing had to go to the Imperial Academy every day, so she was always bored.
Shen Qingnian glanced at little Shen Xi, then at little Yan Qing, and asked, "Do you all like the Third Prince?"
The third prince did indeed appear gentle and approachable.
"I love it!" Xiao Shenxi said without hesitation.
Xiao Yanqing thought for a moment before replying, "Although the Third Prince is a Chongmeng person, he seems easy to get along with and treats people with humility and politeness. He seems to be a gentleman."
The young prince had already learned the saying, "You can know a person's face but not their heart," and he had memorized it.
Shen Qingnian raised her hand and patted the heads of the two little ones: "That's right. Although the Third Prince seems like a good person, he is a dreamer. We should be wary of him."
Having witnessed the previous incident with the bandits in Jiangnan, she was unwilling to let her children suffer even the slightest accident, and she preferred to avoid anyone who might be considered dangerous.
“Young Miss, Young Prince, Chongmeng has had many conflicts with our border. Although we are in the inner palace, it is still not advisable for us to get too close to that Third Prince,” Xiaoju said.
Xiao Shenxi nodded, a hint of doubt in her eyes, but said nothing more.
Although she was confused and puzzled, she understood that her mother wanted to protect her.
Xiao Yanqing added, "Please rest assured, Mother, Xiao Xi and I will never go to that palace alone."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnian's eyes revealed a hint of relief.
At this moment, Zhu Lan, who was walking behind, exclaimed in surprise: "Huh? The figure in front of us looks a bit like the Goddess of Dreams?"
Shen Qingnian looked up and saw a red figure standing at the corner ahead. Apart from the goddess, no one in the palace was dressed like that.
"It really is her! That's the only way His Majesty can get to the Golden Palace. Is she trying to block His Majesty by standing there?" Xiaoju's tone was tinged with anger.
That goddess's actions clearly showed she was trying to seduce His Majesty; she was truly shameless!
Thinking this, Xiaoju couldn't help but spit at the red figure and muttered under her breath, "What bad luck."
Shen Qingnian glanced at them and said calmly, "They've come all the way to my doorstep, so of course I have to go and meet them."
She knows the man's feelings for her, but that doesn't mean she'll turn a blind eye to women who use underhanded tactics.
Xiaoju was eager to try it out, while Zhulan behind her lit a candle in her heart for the goddess.
Miss Liu is capable of destroying herself, let alone anyone else who offends her...
As Shen Qingnian and the others approached, the goddess seemed to sense something and turned around. Upon seeing that it was her, she gave a slight bow: "Miss Liu."
