Mrs. Peng looked at the rows of imperial guards passing by, their armor gleaming in the sunlight, and she straightened her back, acting like a lady from a noble family.
The tent where Xie Jian lives now is very close to the Shangshu Ling, Lord Qin, and not far from the imperial tent.
The palace maid told them the exact location of the tent and left. Just as the two were about to part ways, a maid from Prince Qing's mansion hurried over to Mrs. Peng and said, "Madam Peng, my daughter would like you to join her in archery."
"Xinyue's already practicing right after we arrived? I need to change my clothes and come right back." Peng was busy with horseback riding and archery. The nine months of pregnancy and the months after giving birth had really suffocated her. "Ah Heng, are you okay?"
Shen Heng was also eager to try. Xie Jian had taught her horse riding and archery before, but she thought her little knowledge would spoil the fun: "I'm not very good at it yet, so I won't try." She must practice hard in the next few days.
After watching Peng leave, Shen Heng was heading towards Xie Jian's tent when she saw a dozen palace maids escorting the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess coming from not far away.
Chen Heng had a shadow over the prince, and it was too late to avoid him, so she could only lower her head and wait for someone to pass by.
But the light yellow figure stopped in front of her.
"Isn't this Madam Shen?" The Crown Princess's soft voice came.
"I greet the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess." Shen Heng bowed.
The Crown Princess nodded and said, "Would you like to participate in the archery competition this afternoon?"
"Women don't know how to shoot arrows." Shen Heng said truthfully.
The Crown Prince looked at Chen Heng with cold sarcasm. "Look at how humble she is. Empress? Empress Dowager? A concubine? She still needs so many servants to wait on her. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, with this appearance, she still wants her husband to love and pamper only her?"
It's the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Do you still dare to say that he is a king who lost his country?
The Crown Princess looked at the Crown Prince. She seemed to hear the Crown Prince snort coldly. Seeing that His Highness had a look of impatience on his face, she couldn't help but feel a little strange. His Highness had always disliked female relatives, and she would never show such hostility as today. Thinking of what Eunuch Wang said that His Highness now highly regarded Xie Jian, and seeing His Highness like this, she said nothing more.
Only after watching the group leave did Shen Heng breathe a sigh of relief.
Not far away, soldiers were building a bonfire for the evening.
Seeing Ah Chan standing beside her, looking calm despite her young age, but with eyes darting around curiously, Chen Heng couldn't help but smile and said, "Rest in the tent for a while, then I'll take you out to play."
"I am your personal maid, not here to play." Nanny Feng had said that.
Chen Heng smiled. Achan and Zhenzhu were both taught too much by Nanny Feng. Zhenzhu was still a little older because she was with the eldest sister-in-law, while Achan had seen the world with her. The maids around the ladies were all steady and mature, so she followed suit.
"I'm taking you out to play, and Nanny Feng doesn't know about it." Shen Heng winked at her.
Ah Chan's eyes lit up, revealing a bit of girlish innocence: "Yes, my lady."
When they entered the tent, their belongings had already been put in by the palace servants, and the two began to pack.
At this time, a palace maid brought in a pile of books, placed them on the table, bowed to Chen Heng, and then left.
"My lady, won't the Lord get tired of seeing these things every day?" Achan asked.
"I'm curious too." Since she knew Xie Jian, this guy had an extremely self-disciplined habit of reading every night. He would read one book over and over again. After he entered the official career, he never put down the files and would read for a while every day no matter how busy he was.
