"No more watching." He wanted to hug her.
"No. You should get back to your normal schedule and continue reading." Even if Xie Jian's temperament became cold and indifferent, he was still a hot-blooded young man after all. Shen Heng didn't want him to indulge in pleasure and neglect his business.
Xie Jian had no choice but to look at the imperial archives. "There will be a flower viewing banquet in the palace in three days. Officials of the fourth rank and above and their families can attend. I'll pick you up then."
"The palace?" In the past, one had to rely on the Meng family or the Eighth Prince's connections to go there. Now that she was directly invited, Shen Heng thought for a moment: "Will I be able to see the Emperor and Empress?"
"Yes. You can meet many people in the palace."
Shen Heng lay down, the prince flashing through her mind. It’s better not to get too close to the prince’s area: “Ajian, what kind of person is the prince?”
"I haven't met the prince many times. My colleagues only say that he is a bit moody." Xie Jian said as he flipped through the case files.
That's right. Although Xie Jian had been promoted, he couldn't see the prince every day. Xie Jian had always been sensitive, but there was no other meaning in his words towards the prince. Shen Heng wondered if the few times she and the prince looked at each other were just coincidences.
"Why did you suddenly mention the prince?"
How do I put this? I was a bit paranoid. I couldn't just use a glance to make a fuss. Shen Heng said, "I'm just asking casually." Then she lay down.
At this moment, Xie Jian's dark eyes gradually deepened. Both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince were not simple people. Who was the person behind this?
What is the relationship between their Xie family and the royal family?
Why can't we find any relevant clues at all?
By the time Xie Jian finished reading several files, it was already late at night. When he got to bed, Shen Heng was already fast asleep.
He held her in his arms, gently stroked her back with his hands, and kissed her forehead. Only then did Xie Jian fall asleep contentedly.
In a blink of an eye, the flower viewing banquet arrived.
In preparation for this visit to the palace, Nanny Feng prepared Shen Heng from head to toe, neither being indecent nor overstepping her bounds.
"Madam Shen's beauty makes people like her at first sight." Nanny Feng looked at the woman in front of her. Although she was not a beauty that could be unforgettable at first sight, her eyebrows and eyes were clean and her smile was easygoing. Anyway, at her age, she liked to see such a blessed face.
"I think I'm pretty, too." Chen Heng chuckled. Although she knew her own limitations, she never underestimated herself, and was even more confident in front of people close to her.
Even if there is no beauty, as long as a person is responsible for himself, lives a sunny and cheerful life, and does not get beaten to pieces by life, those beautiful things will gradually come to us.
Xia burst out laughing: "You. How did you become like this now?"
"Sister-in-law, don't you like me becoming like this?"
"I like it. I like it very much." Xia really likes the present Ah Heng.
Nanny Feng smiled and said, "You must remember the rules I taught you. Don't make any mistakes. If you do, it will be difficult for the Indians to recover, and you'll be criticized for it all the time."
"I will be careful with my words and actions." Shen Heng did not dare to be careless about entering the palace. In this era where rules and etiquette are above everything else, if you take a wrong step, you will be laughed at for the rest of your life, or suffer heavy losses.
Madam Feng nodded and said, "Maidens cannot be brought into the palace, so you have to go alone this time." If one day Madam Shen is lucky enough to be granted an imperial decree, she will be able to bring a personal maid with her.
"Don't worry, Ma'am. Nothing else will happen." Shen Heng felt that nothing would go wrong just admiring the flowers and following the main group.
