Chapter 216 So Sudden
Xie Jian was waiting by the carriage. When he looked up, he saw his wife coming out of the door in gorgeous clothes. Although she was not wearing any jewels, her face was bright and clear, especially the gentleness between her eyebrows and the friendly smile in her eyes. He felt that every one of her features was just what he liked.
"Ajian." Seeing Xie Jian staring at her, Shen Heng chuckled: "Am I particularly beautiful today?"
"You have always been beautiful." Xie Jian said subconsciously.
Chen Heng: “…” Okay, so sudden.
When Nanny Feng and Mrs. Xia, who came out from behind, heard this, they both sighed in their hearts. It was the first time they heard Xie Xiangqi (brother-in-law) praise someone. He has grown up.
The carriage slowly headed towards the palace.
"Yu is sick." Xie Jian said suddenly.
Chen Heng was imitating Xie Jian's sitting posture, and she felt a little tired even though she was sitting upright. "Are you sick?"
"Do you know why she and my eldest brother haven't had any children in these years?"
Chen Heng had pondered this question. Her first thought was that the two hadn't consummated their marriage, but then she realized that such a thing was only possible in novels where pure love reigned supreme. In real life, she feared few people could pull it off. "Why?"
"Yu Junyi gave my eldest brother a sterile drug from the beginning." Xie Jian's expression was calm, but his eyes were horrifying. "Yu wanted to have a child with my eldest brother, so that he could use it as leverage to make her choose her. Who would have thought that the person who would destroy her would be her biological father?"
Shen Heng was stunned for a long time: "Brother, do you know about this?"
"Brother doesn't know yet."
Chen Heng's emotions were mixed. As a bystander, she felt this was fine. The resentment she felt at the hands of Yu Shi was truly immense. If a woman who had stolen someone else's husband bore her eldest brother's child, it would be infuriating. But sacrificing her eldest brother's extinction to appease her anger as a bystander felt shameful.
This is also cruel to the eldest brother of the Xie family.
"It seems the Yu family has always been wary of Big Brother." Chen Heng thought of a previous doubt: "Big Brother has become Tang Ziqi, so no one in the Tang family dares to say anything?"
"Although I dare not say a word, how can I not be angry?" Xie Jian sneered. Tang Ziying's hometown is in Yuezhou, as are the Si family and the Peng family.
Yuezhou is a good place. In ancient times, it produced ten emperors. I wonder if it will produce emperors in the future.
The carriage was parked after inspection at the palace gate.
After about an incense stick of time, we arrived at the square inside the palace, where all the carriages were parked.
The banquet for the appreciation of the imperial concubines was held in the largest Yuyu Garden. Nanny Feng once said that Yuyu Garden had three halls, with Feiying Hall as the main hall, and then extended in sequence to form pavilions, jade rockery, and small bridges and flowing water.
There are mostly evergreen species, ancient cypresses and old locust trees planted everywhere, and there are ten pavilions and eight terraces, corridors with jade steps, and winding paths. Various precious flowers are in full bloom among them for the nobles to appreciate.
However, Shen Heng didn't bother to look around at this time. As soon as she got off the carriage, Xie Jian greeted everyone.
When in a certain environment, Shen Heng found that she didn't need to deliberately maintain any manners; she could hold her posture naturally. The adults in front of her, although fat and thin, tall and short, all had well-proportioned figures, and they all had an official aura, and walked with a steady square step.
When greeting each other, everyone was well-spoken. Occasionally some were pretentious and fawning, but some were upright and welcoming.
The concubines who knew each other had a great time chatting with each other, and many of those who didn't know each other were very friendly. When it came to social skills, they were all very good at dealing with people.
Of course, there were also those who were not afraid and just followed their husbands in bowing and then stood aside without saying a word.
For example, Chen Heng didn't know many people, and given Xie Jian's current rank, there was no need for her to take the initiative. It was best to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
