Outside the East Palace, Nanny Feng and Achan breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their lady coming out.
In the evening, when Xie Jian came back, Shen Heng told him about what happened when she entered the palace on Tiantian, the task the Crown Princess asked her to do, and her encounter with Liu Yu.
Xie Jian's face was gloomy.
"If you're angry, I won't talk about this kind of thing anymore." Chen Heng said, "If you want to blame someone, blame Liu Yu. Incompetent men only blame women."
Xie Jian was so angry that he laughed: "Then you can just say nothing. Why bother telling him so much?"
"I'm helping you, too. Don't you and the Master both hope that he will be a good monarch?"
Xie Jian had a cold face, two different things.
"What do you think about these two things, Crown Princess?" Chen Heng asked.
"As for the emperor's family affairs, they should naturally take care of them themselves." Xie Jian said unhappily.
"But I accepted the gift from the Crown Princess. I can't give it back, right?" If it was other ladies, she would have various excuses to shirk it, but the Crown Princess couldn't. Besides, this kind of problem was not subject to rule.
"The ceremony of crowning the empress and the selection of beauties to enter the palace have their own agendas among the ministers." He was talking about something when Xie Jian suddenly said, "The other day, the Minister of Rites said he has an incredibly beautiful niece who's still unmarried."
Chen Heng: “…”
Xie Jian sat down to read the memorial and glanced at the woman standing beside him: "The Minister of War also said that there is a niece who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she has not yet been engaged."
"If you're interested, just take the room. There's no need to bother me." Chen Heng said with a cold face, and turned to leave the room.
"What are you doing?" Xie Jian hurriedly stood up and blocked the door.
"Go tell your sister-in-law to put the housewarming celebration aside for now and take the concubine in first," Chen Heng said.
"I just said it casually." Xie Jian softened his voice and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"If you don't mean it, just listen and forget it. If you mean it, you'll just say it casually."
"I was wrong." Xie Jian said happily.
"How could Xie Zhongshu be wrong?"
"Back then, when you treated the Master like that, I didn't say anything. I just said it casually, and you got excited?"
The old story was brought up again, and Chen Heng said, "How can these two things be the same? I didn't mean it, but you did. Later, after you explained it clearly, I also realized the problem, and didn't I change it? Please move aside."
As a modern person, is it easy for her to change the mindset she developed since childhood?
"I was wrong, Ah Heng." Xie Jian quickly apologized. He didn't want to quarrel with Ah Heng over other people's affairs. If he had to quarrel, he would quarrel over his own affairs.
"I can't refuse, but you deliberately try to piss me off. If you do this again next time, I won't be polite." Shen Heng said angrily.
"Why are you not polite?"
"I haven't decided yet."
Xie Jian's eyes lit up with a smile, and he stepped forward to hug Ah Heng: "I was wrong, and I will never say such things again. Then you should also care about my feelings."
"I'm your wife. We're tied to each other for life. I can't leave you."
"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Xie Jian gently stroked Ah Heng's back: "Don't be angry."
Chen Heng wasn't stubborn, so she gave him a chance to back down. A prolonged quarrel was the worst thing a couple should do; it would wear down their relationship. She hugged Xie Jian with her backhand and raised her head, "Don't be jealous anymore. We still have a lifetime to live together."
"This Ben Zhongshu can't be controlled." Xie Jian said, sealing his lips.
