"Don't be fooled by her appearance." Mrs. Peng said with a smile, "She aspires to be the best businesswoman in the world."
"The best female businessman in the world? We don't really have a best female businessman in the Great Cong Dynasty." Liu Xinyue looked at Chen Heng curiously.
"You should always have dreams, just in case they come true." Chen Heng said playfully.
Liu Xinyue suddenly felt that this Madam Shen's personality was quite suitable for her temperament. She liked people who were not shy. "Qian, let's go to the platform under the tree over there and have some tea."
At this time, someone said, "Look, it's Consort Ming and Consort Yi."
The three of them looked over and saw that not far away, two ladies were strolling on the tree-lined avenue surrounded by palace servants, and from time to time they greeted the ladies passing by on both sides.
"The Queen hasn't been to the enclosure for several days. Is she still not well?" a girl asked softly.
"I heard that it is true. Ruoxi's harem is managed by Consort Ming."
This was not the first time that Shen Heng heard that the Empress Dowager was in poor health. Both Nanny Feng and Yun Zhao had told her about it.
At this moment, the three of them had come to a small table for drinking tea. The table was under a big tree, with a table and four stools on it. There were more than a dozen such tables, and almost all of them were full of people.
The maid brought tea and snacks.
"Xinyue, has the Queen been feeling unwell recently?" asked Mrs. Peng. She had been to the palace to meet the Queen once, and she liked such a dignified and generous Queen from the bottom of her heart.
Speaking of the Empress Aunt, Liu Xinyue couldn't hide her sadness: "After the eldest prince passed away, the young prince had an accident again. The Empress was too worried. She has been locking herself in the palace for the past few days. Her health is really not good."
"The Empress is so pitiful. I feel so heartbroken when my daughters cry even a little more." Mrs. Peng said. It was hard to imagine the pain of losing two children in a row. If it were her, she would definitely not survive.
Chen Heng remembered what Nanny Feng had said, "The Empress gave birth to two sons and a daughter. Who could have imagined that in the end, only the Prince, the Crown Prince, would be left. After suffering so many setbacks, he became seriously ill and often had to rely on medicinal food."
But Liu Xinyue only said that something happened to her grandfather?
"Fortunately, there's still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Madam Peng said, "Everyone says that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is extremely filial to His Majesty."
Liu Xinyue took a sip of tea and smiled without saying anything. The Empress and the Crown Prince didn't have the close relationship that people said they had. They were clearly mother and son, the closest people to each other.
Although the weather was hot, it was quite cool inside the enclosure.
In the distance, hunting flags were fluttering and the Royal Guards were on patrol.
From time to time you can see dust raised by galloping horses.
As we got closer, we could hear the laughter of the ladies and girls, as well as the chatter of the noblemen.
For the next four days, Chen Heng was full of anticipation. Although she couldn't hunt, she could ride a horse, so she should have no problem following everyone.
In the evening, when the two servants returned to the tent, Xie Jian was looking at the case file.
Chen Heng saw the arrow on the table at a glance and picked it up happily. The feeling was the same as the one Liu Xinyue had given her just now. She used a little strength and pulled it open.
"This is specially prepared for you. Do you like it?" Xie Jian asked.
"like."
"Then I'll teach you archery tomorrow." Two days before the polo match, when Ah Heng saw Liu Xinyue's envious eyes, he knew that she was very attracted to him.
