Her waist is as thin as a hand, her face is delicate and beautiful, and she is so pretty that she can captivate all the people.
Compared to everyone's amazement, the queen was a little dazed, she was waiting nervously.
After Zhao Heng gave up the election, not only the queen, but also the third prince and the seventh prince set their eyes on Shen Shuyi with burning gazes.
The fourth prince Zhao Qiyu had decided to choose Shen Qingyi from the beginning, but when he saw Shen Shuyi, his mind was somewhat shaken.
What's more...the Queen Mother told him to choose Shen Shuyi...
Shen Shuyi blinked her smart eyes and looked at Zhao Heng. When she met his deep eyes, she did not look away, but looked at him boldly.
A smile appeared on Zhao Heng's lips. This little girl is really brave.
He stroked the jade pendant in his hand and walked away.
Everyone was shocked, as they didn't expect Prince Su to choose a concubine.
Zhao Heng walked up to Shen Shuyi and asked, "What's your name?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, my name is Chen Shuyi." Her voice was pleasant and her eyes looked even more lively and beautiful.
"Are you willing to be my princess?" Zhao Heng took out the jade pendant.
Shen Shuyi stretched out her hands in front of her, “It is an honor for me to marry into Prince Su’s mansion.”
Zhao Heng gently placed the jade pendant in her hand.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene, especially the queen. Shen Shuyi was the daughter-in-law she favored, so how could someone else get there first?
But Shen Shuyi had already stepped aside holding the jade pendant given by Zhao Heng, and the queen gritted her silver teeth and couldn't help but speak.
"Heng'er, have you really chosen? This is the selection of the principal wife."
"Yes, I think Miss Shen is very suitable for you."
Among all the noble ladies, she is the most beautiful. Food, sex and nature are human nature.
The queen still did not give up, "There are many noble ladies behind, you can take a look..."
"Empress." The emperor interrupted her, "It's enough if Heng'er likes it."
His eldest son has never been interested in women, and as a father he was really worried. Now that he finally finds one he likes, he just lets him be.
The matter came to an end, but it became a turmoil again because the Fourth Prince Zhao Qiyu chose Shen Qingyi.
It is a rare thing that both the Shen sisters were selected.
The queen's majestic voice sounded, "Qi Yu, did you give the wrong jade pendant?"
“Is it Miss Li next to Miss Shen Er?”
Li Yaer, the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue, has a status that Shen Qingyi cannot compare to. Although Shen Qingyi is now the second legitimate daughter, she was a concubine's daughter before her biological mother was promoted to the second wife.
What's more, Zhao Heng chose the eldest daughter, so there is no reason for her son to marry a younger one!
Zhao Qiyu has not yet put the jade pendant in Shen Qingyi's hands. He has never dared to disobey his mother since he was a child...
Shen Qingyi gritted her teeth secretly, she raised her hand and placed it on her lower abdomen, signaling Zhao Qiyu.
Zhao Qiyu couldn't help but think about the matter of the painted boat. Qingyi was already his... he couldn't let her down again... Even if he didn't marry Miss Li, he was confident that he could become the crown prince!
The jade pendant was placed in Shen Qingyi's hand at this moment, which made the queen almost faint with anger.
Seeing that her son was unreliable, the queen had to ask the emperor for help. The emperor looked at Zhao Qiyu meaningfully and said, "Since Qi Yu likes the second daughter of the Shen family, she should be chosen as a concubine. The Miss Li that the queen mentioned is gentle and virtuous and can be the main wife."
Zhao Qiyu dared to disobey his mother's orders, but he did not dare to disobey the emperor's orders. Now the principal wife and concubine had been chosen.
Shen Qingyi clenched the jade pendant in her hands and her face turned pale.
Next, the third prince and the seventh prince also chose their principal wives. Zhao Qiyu had already chosen his concubine. The noble concubine and the concubine suggested that the other princes should choose. The emperor nodded and let Zhao Heng choose first as usual.
Zhao Heng said calmly, "I like peace and quiet, so it's fine as long as I have a queen. Let my brother and the others choose."
"Yes." The emperor did not force him. "If you like someone in the future, just tell me and I will make the decision for you."
"Thank you, Father."
After the selection was over, the emperor and empress took their seats with everyone else, the banquet began, and there was singing and dancing.
Many ministers and their families were present at this concubine selection banquet. The emperor and his ministers had fun together, and the emperor also drank a few more glasses.
As the wine flowed, the emperor was happy that Zhao Heng was finally willing to marry the princess, so he specially drank two cups with him.
The emperor toasted, and Zhao Heng took a sip even though he didn't want to drink.
Seeing this, the Queen asked with concern, "Heng'er, are you feeling unwell? You can't even drink the wine your father offered you."
In the eyes of everyone, Zhao Heng hated their pitying looks the most, but he also felt that the Queen's attitude was a little strange, so when he raised his glass to drink, he let the wine fall into his wide sleeves.
After being poisoned by alcohol at the celebration banquet last time, he never touched any alcohol again. He would always be cautious even when his father was present.
Shen Shuyi had just sat down to drink, and not long after, a palace maid accidentally touched the wine cup and wet his clothes.
According to her previous life, when the alcohol soaked her clothes and the medicinal properties were activated, she would become powerless and could do whatever anyone wanted.
Fortunately, she had already removed the poison from her clothes. The maid, bribed by Shen Qingyi, supported her and said, "Miss Shen, let me help you change your clothes?"
Chen Shuyi pretended to be drunk and left the table with the help of a palace maid.
Just as she passed through the flower corridor, the palace maid was knocked unconscious by Jingxian's knife.
Shen Shuyi didn't look drunk at all. She asked Jingxian, "Are you all ready?"
"Yes! Gu Hong has gone to lure Chen Feng here, and Shen Qingyi is also on the way!" Jing Xian and Gu Hong acted very efficiently, and no one was able to find any evidence against them.
"That's good, you go and do your work, I can do it on my own."
After Jingxian left, Shen Shuyi walked past the rockery and suddenly bumped into Zhao Heng.
She was startled, "My Lord, why are you here?"
Zhao Heng looked at the fairy-like person in front of him, thought of her ruthlessness in doing things, and thought of the way she smiled at him, he couldn't help but be moved.
“Just passing by.”
There was not much expression on his handsome face, which was always calm, with a kind of calm, steady and noble temperament.
Shen Shuyi probed, “You know everything?”
Why should women make things difficult for other women? In the previous life, Shen Qingyi used a trick to harm the original owner's life, and she used the same trick again in this life. She had no choice but to retaliate and let the original owner rest in peace.
Zhao Heng looked at her with deep eyes, "Well, you acted a little recklessly, aren't you afraid of being found out?"
If you do these things in front of the emperor, you will be beheaded if you are not careful.
Shen Shuyi pretended to be afraid, "Will you expose me, my lord?"
"No." Zhao Heng was very sure, no matter she was his future princess or his savior.
Shen Shuyi's eyes suddenly smiled, "That's really great."
"Why don't you ask me why I planned to have Shen Feng and Shen Qingyi caught...having an affair?"
"No matter what the reason is, this king will protect you."
Shen Shuyi entwined the embroidered handkerchief with her fingers and looked up at Zhao Heng, "My Lord, you are so kind."
It was really gentle, a sense of familiarity coming from the soul, as if someone had stood by her side unconditionally in the past, caring for her gently.
Although her purpose was to complete the mission, she was still quite moved by such a gentle man, and she completed the mission sincerely.
Just then, there was a noise coming from the side room of Yingchun Palace, which was the sound of several hurried footsteps.
