"Why are you sighing?" Shen Heng put her arms around his waist.
"Ouyang En refused the position of commander of the Imperial Guards and only became a small captain of the guards." Xie Jian shook his head.
"Everything will be fine once he figures it out." Chen Heng said. Xie Jian could even put his hatred aside for the time being, but Ouyang En could not accept Liu Yu's unbearableness and darkness. It was not surprising to think about it. In Ouyang En's heart, the idea of defending the country and protecting the people, and at the same time, being loyal to the king was also deeply rooted.
A king like Liu Yu can indeed undermine people's confidence.
"By the way, Liu Zhiyue is here to visit her parents." Shen Heng asked, "Does she know about your relationship with the Si family?"
"She doesn't know. Si Qi has kept many things from her. She's the daughter of Prince Ning, and since the Si family covets the Liu family's throne, they're naturally wary of her." Xie Jian sneered, "If she had been interested, she would have been able to sense the Si family's ambitions. It's a pity that she's so short-sighted."
"She's a woman, confined to the inner chambers. How can you expect her to look at you any longer?"
"You're still speaking for her? Have you forgotten how she treated you?"
"I just think it's not easy for women to live in this world. Wouldn't it be nice if she could live a good life in the future?" She couldn't forget the past, but she had let it go. A question suddenly occurred to Chen Heng: if Si Qi really took over the throne, wouldn't Liu Zhiyue be the Empress?
"The unfavored rich girl counterattacks and becomes the queen"?
"Beat the scumbag and make him kneel down and call her Queen"?
"After rebirth, I married my scumbag boss"?
Well, that sounds quite tempting to watch.
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Jian saw that Ah Heng was actually daydreaming while chatting with him.
"Nothing, let's go to sleep." Chen Heng closed her eyes, tried to be pragmatic and not think about anything else. After all, she was now the wife of a "scumbag", and life had to go on.
When Xia knew that she was going to hold a housewarming party, she started getting busy that day.
At noon, Chen Heng drew up a list of ten tables per room. When the three of them were discussing how to start the banquet, someone from the East Palace arrived.
The Crown Princess invited Shen Heng to the palace to appreciate the chrysanthemums.
"Did they invite only me?" Shen Heng thought that all the ladies were invited, but she didn't expect that they only invited her, not even Madam Qin.
"The only one I know about this is Madam," said someone in the palace.
"I'll get dressed and go." Inviting her to the Eastern Palace at this time? Chen Heng couldn't help but feel puzzled. It couldn't be just to admire the chrysanthemums. Thinking about what had happened recently, she didn't care about what happened in the court.
The palace is no different from before.
When they entered the Eastern Palace, Nanny Feng and Achan were stopped by palace servants.
"Just wait for me here." Chen Heng was not worried about any danger. After all, Xie Jian had just taken the position of Zhongshu, and the Crown Princess would not be stupid enough to do anything to her.
Nothing has changed in the East Palace; every blade of grass and every tree remains the same as last time.
The Crown Princess was sitting in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden. When she saw her coming, she stood up and greeted her: "Madam Shen, you are here. Come and try this new flower tea."
She actually came out to greet him personally. Shen Heng was truly flattered: "Thank you, Crown Princess, for your kindness."
At this moment, a palace maid placed three wooden boxes in front of Shen Heng. She opened them and found a jade ruyi, a set of golden tea utensils, and a palm-sized night-shining pearl. "I heard you moved to a new mansion. These are my gifts to congratulate you on your new home."
Shen Heng quickly stood up and bowed, "Crown Princess, these are too valuable."
"The friendship between you and me is nothing."
Uh, what kind of relationship do they have? Shen Heng said without showing any emotion: "Thank you, Crown Princess."
"Let's go and enjoy the chrysanthemums." The Crown Princess stood up with a smile.
