At this time, someone said, "The Crown Princess is here."
When everyone looked, they saw the Crown Princess walking over, surrounded by palace maids, accompanied by the Crown Princess and Liu Xinyue.
Chen Heng had seen the Crown Princess several times, but had never seen her appearance clearly. Now that she was right in front of her, her appearance was not stunning, not even a beauty in the traditional sense, but her facial features looked extremely comfortable, especially her royal bearing. She walked towards him gracefully, her upper body straight, and the hairpins she wore were only slight movements.
A greeting.
The Crown Princess glanced at everyone with a faint smile, and when her eyes landed on Shen Heng, she smiled faintly before saying to everyone, "Let's go to the lake to admire the lotus flowers."
The Crown Princess smiled at her? Shen Heng was confused, and saw the ladies around her looking at her with complicated expressions.
The ladies were enjoying the lotus and chatting, and it was quite lively for a while.
Chen Heng and the three ladies were of the lowest rank, so they followed behind, feeling quite at ease.
"Why haven't I seen Mrs. Tang in recent times?" a lady in front suddenly asked.
"I heard that Madam Tang has been recuperating."
"Are you sick?"
"That's not the case," the other lady whispered. "She said she's been wanting a boy, but her belly just won't hold up. So, she's been looking for a famous doctor."
"Now that you mention it, I suddenly remembered that I saw Madam Tang burning incense at Fengguo Temple a few days ago, and she was coming out of the Goddess of Childbirth Hall."
A lady walking in front also heard the gossip and stepped back to add, "What I heard is different from what you heard. It was said that Lord Tang was not a good person."
"Is this true?"
Chen Heng listened quietly. If this gossip was true, it seemed that the Yu family still refused to give up. She didn't know when the eldest brother of the Xie family would be able to remember the past. Xie Jian said it was too fast, why was it so slow?
At the same time, it is quite contradictory. If the eldest brother of the Xie family really wakes up, what choice will he make?
Soon, the ladies sat in several pavilions to enjoy the cool air. Tea and cakes had been placed in the pavilions early in the morning. The lake breeze was cool and carried the fragrance of flowers. It was really comfortable to enjoy the flowers and drink tea.
Just as Shen Heng was happily finishing her cakes, a palace maid came over and said, "Thank you, Madam. The Crown Princess wants to see you."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Chen Heng felt even more puzzled. It was understandable that Madam Qin would take care of her, after all, Xie Jian had just joined the Ministry of Personnel and was a direct subordinate of Madam Qin. However, with the level of the Crown Princess, there was still a big gap.
There were only four people sitting in the pavilion where the Crown Princess was sitting: the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince's concubine, Madam Gong, and Madam Qin. Liu Xinyue, who should have been there, was picking lotus with the palace maids not far away.
Seeing Shen Heng coming over, Madam Gong Sun said with a smile: "Madam Xie, even the Crown Princess has heard of the ability of your Xie Jian."
Madam Qin stood up and took Shen Heng's arm affectionately: "Hurry and sit down."
"My lady greets the Crown Princess." Shen Heng bowed to the Crown Princess, and then the concubines and the two ladies bowed before taking a seat.
The Crown Princess nodded and said gently, "I heard from the Crown Prince that Sir Xie made great efforts in this spy matter."
"I don't understand the affairs of the court. My husband said that it was because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had made detailed arrangements, and with Lord Qin and Lord Gong setting an example, he was able to catch these spies so smoothly." Shen Heng answered politely.
No matter how many holes there are, flattery will never wear out.
