When Shen Wangchen came out of Chengde Hall smoothly and returned to the place he and Li Shengyi had agreed to meet.
Before he could open his mouth to say hello, he heard an exclamation of admiration ringing in his ears.
"Wow, sister is amazing!"
The morning light shone on the two little kids of similar size, as if they were coated with a layer of golden light.
Shen Wangchen's heart, which was slightly suspended in his chest, fell back to its original position after seeing this scene.
He took a step forward, and his lips curled up slightly, "What's so amazing? What are you doing, Miss?"
His voice made Li Shengyi and the other man both turn around and look at him.
Shen Wangchen finally saw clearly what Li Shengyi was holding.
It is a dragonfly made of folded leaves.
With his brows raised slightly, he walked forward and squatted down in front of her, his eyes falling on the dragonfly.
"Did the young lady do this?"
"Of course! My sister is amazing!"
Before Li Shengyi could answer, Chu Huaize, who was sitting next to her, answered for her impatiently.
At this moment, Chu Huaize showed some childishness, which was completely different from his previous self-disciplined and polite appearance.
I couldn’t wait to retell to Shen Wangchen everything that had just happened by the pond.
Chu Huaize completely forgot that he was a little prince. After recounting what happened, his eyes filled with admiration fell on Li Shengyi again.
"Except for the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Qin, my sister is the most intelligent person I have ever met."
Li Shengyi smiled and put the dragonfly in his hand into his. He couldn't help but raised his hand and pinched his cheek, "You are so sweet."
Chu Huaize wrinkled his nose and said, "I'm telling the truth. Sister, you are smart."
Shen Wangchen also nodded and agreed, "Yes, Miss is smart."
Li Shengyi looked in the direction of the voice, and when he saw the smile in his eyes, he immediately felt that he was being teased.
She didn't get angry, but smiled and nodded along with them, "Okay, since you all can see it, I won't hide it anymore."
"I am smart!"
"Oh, my dear, I have finally found you."
Just as Li Shengyi finished speaking, a sharp voice sounded behind the three of them.
Looking in the direction of the voice, it was Eunuch Fu Hai who came to look for the twelfth prince.
Before Chu Huaize left, he specifically told Eunuch Fu Hai not to look for him unless it was something important.
Now Eunuch Fu Hai came looking for him, with beads of sweat on his forehead. It was winter, and one could see how anxious he was when he couldn't find the little prince.
"Why would you come to such an unlucky place when you can have fun anywhere else?"
"Do you know who lives here?"
Chu Huaize nodded, "Fifth Prince."
"Isn't it the Fifth Prince!" Eunuch Fu Hai slapped his thigh hard, "The Fifth Prince and the Second Prince..."
After all, he was serving the twelfth prince, so Eunuch Fu Hai stopped talking halfway through.
He turned his head and looked around. After confirming that there was no one around, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Li Shengyi who was not far away.
"Your Highness, Imperial Concubine Su is looking for Miss Shengyi. If we don't go over now, I'm afraid Imperial Concubine Su will send someone to look for her."
If Concubine Su knew that they were playing around near the Fifth Prince's palace, who knows what kind of rumors would spread in such a huge harem.
When he heard that Su Jinrou was looking for him, the expression on Li Shengyi's face immediately became much more restrained.
She trotted over to Eunuch Fuhai and raised her head to ask him, "Eunuch, do you know why Concubine Su is looking for me?"
Eunuch Fu Hai raised his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead, took a breath and shook his head, "The palace servant who came to summon us never said that."
"It's just that Concubine Su hasn't seen Miss Shengyi for some time. She misses her and wants to catch up with her."
Li Shengyi: ...
[Reminiscing? With whom? With me?]
[Are you kidding me? Su Jinrou and I have only met a few times, and she wants to catch up with me?]
[She can't possibly be thinking about the headgear she gave me and wanting to take it back, right? She's really a weasel trying to pay New Year's greetings to a chicken, with no good intentions!]
He kept complaining in his heart, but Li Shengyi's expression gradually became indifferent.
She nodded slightly to Eunuch Fu Hai and said, "Thank you for leading the way."
[I want to see what kind of flowers Su Jinrou wants to bloom next! When the time comes, I must hold on to Shen Wangchen's sleeves tightly, so that Su Jinrou won't suddenly go crazy and hurt me.]
Uncle Shen has something to do, Uncle Shen has nothing to do. Shen Wangchen silently lowered his eyes and glanced at the little bun walking beside him.
Looking at the unpredictable expression on her little face, the corners of his lips unconsciously rose.
Among the four, only Chu Huaize did not feel the tense and oppressive atmosphere.
In the middle of the process, he also shared the dragonfly that Li Shengyi gave him with Eunuch Fu Hai, and praised Li Shengyi's good craftsmanship.
When Eunuch Fu Hai saw the dragonfly, a look of surprise appeared on his pale face.
He walked in front to lead the way, and at that time he did not forget to turn around and look at Li Shengyi, "Miss Shengyi was born with a pair of skillful hands."
Li Shengyi shook his head and chuckled, "It's just some little tricks to fool people."
Chu Huaize, who was coaxed, had no objection. He liked the little gadget that Li Shengyi gave him very much. Even his brother, the prince, who had a good relationship with him, had never made such a dragonfly for him.
They walked all the way with smiles on their faces, and when the four of them arrived at Qinghua Palace, Chu Huaize was stopped.
"What? Can't I go in with my sister?"
The eunuch from Qinghua Palace who was blocking the way raised his chin slightly, with a look of arrogance on his face, "The Empress said that only Miss Shengyi can enter."
"Now that the Empress is pregnant with a little prince, we must not allow any mistakes. Twelfth Prince, please don't embarrass me."
There is an old saying that a dog relies on the power of its master.
This statement is absolutely correct.
Li Shengyi glanced at the eunuch who was blocking the way, and said to the angry Chu Huaize, "Twelfth Prince, go back and rest for a while. I will be back soon."
"I am a prince after all. If a roadblock barks at Your Highness, Your Highness can't follow suit and bite him, right?"
Her words of comfort instantly made Chu Huaize's expression better.
On the other hand, the eunuch who was blocking the road suddenly looked gloomy.
But he can't offend anyone here.
Even if Li Shengyi is Qin Songmo's adopted daughter, it has long been rumored that Prime Minister Qin Songmo dotes on this little daughter extremely.
Treat her as your own daughter, even closer than your own daughter.
To offend her is to offend Prime Minister Qin.
The other one is the youngest prince, so he cannot be offended.
The eunuch tightened his grip on the whisk, and after the twelfth prince snorted at him coldly and turned to leave, the eunuch lowered his head and escorted Li Shengyi into Qinghua Palace.
As soon as Li Shengyi stepped into the Qinghua Palace, he saw the decoration of the palace. Everything was no longer the same as before.
Although the Qinghua Palace in the past was also exquisite and luxurious, it was not as luxurious as this one.
It is no exaggeration to say that even Fengyi Palace is not as luxurious as this.
It can be seen how favored Su Jinrou is after she becomes pregnant.
