Chapter 263: Talking a few times
"I just heard a palace maid call her 'Madam' like that." Shen Heng quickly regained her composure. "This is my first time in the palace. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Madam."
"Since this is your first time in the palace, Madam, you must restrain yourself in every way and learn how other ladies do things to avoid being laughed at." Nanny Shan spoke bluntly and entered the hall.
Chen Heng followed the other ladies out of the corridor and into a courtyard. Then her eyes fell on another side hall. Suddenly, her memory flashed through her mind. She saw the Queen there, seemingly forcing the young lady to drink a glass of wine.
That young man who looks like a prince, is he Crown Prince Liu Yu?
Shen Heng gasped.
At this time, everyone had entered the main hall. The Crown Princess was sitting in the front. She was dressed particularly elegantly today, like a court dress.
The atmosphere suddenly became serious.
After the ceremony, the Crown Princess began to recite the Etiquette for Women: "Etiquette is the order of heaven and earth... Be humble and respectful, put others before yourself, do good without acknowledgment, do evil without denial... Go to bed late and get up early, do not be afraid of working day and night, and attend to your duties and personal matters..."
Chen Heng listened with one ear and out the other, but the image in her mind gradually became clearer. There was a compartment in the side hall next door, and from the compartment was the dormitory of the nine-year-old girl.
This was really her first time here, how could it feel so familiar?
At this time, the Crown Princess heard: "There are still five ladies who haven't come today. Do you know why they didn't come?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Their homes have been confiscated, the men have been exiled, and the women have been made slaves or prostitutes of the government."
When the Crown Princess said this, everyone was shocked.
Chen Heng lowered her head, listening and forgetting, thinking only of the things in her mind. Why did so many people call the little girl the Sixth Princess? Was she the deceased Sixth Princess?
An unknown amount of time passed before Chen Heng saw the ladies around her bow and leave, and then she followed suit.
At this time, only the Crown Princess and Madam Qin were left in the hall.
"Madam Shen listened attentively to what I said just now." Madam Qin said softly, "She's actually a pretty good person. It all depends on whether this Mr. Xie is loyal to the Crown Prince."
"The Crown Prince's attitude towards this Lord Xie is very strange." The Crown Princess's pretty face was filled with confusion. "If he's being treated with respect, it seems he's being left out in the cold. If he's being left out in the cold, then he's the one handling all the investigations."
"My family said that the prince was testing the ability and loyalty of this Lord Xie."
The Crown Princess always felt that this was not the case, and she could not guess: "If that is the case, you can give her some advice. The emperor and his subjects are of one mind, so we, the concubines, should also be of one mind."
"yes."
When Chen Heng left the main hall and was about to leave Changning Palace, her eyes fell on the side hall on the east side, which she had been to before.
A suppressed voice came from my mind.
"Liu Yu is not my biological son at all. Twins are unlucky in this palace. I gave birth to two daughters. If I wasn't afraid of being accused of having too much yin energy and damaging the country's fortune, why would I abandon my own daughters and marry them? My daughter Zi'er actually died for him?"
"Suffering finally paid off? Why was he made the crown prince? The crown prince is my son, all of us are my sons. He doesn't deserve to be the crown prince, he doesn't deserve it."
Chen Heng opened her mouth wide enough to swallow a whole goose egg.
What did she hear?
Why did she hear such a thing?
She hurried out of Changning Palace. Just as she was about to step out of the inner palace, she suddenly turned around and looked at the palace not far away, which was connected to Changning Palace.
More and more memories came to her mind, and Shen Heng's eyes widened. She walked over subconsciously and looked at the palace door in front of her. She and Liu Yu had been married here.
