Shen Shuyi, “Don’t bother with that, there are other maids in the palace who serve very well.”
The queen was not relenting and even asked two maids to step out. "Cai'er and Xia'er are both first-class maids in the palace. They can help you manage the palace."
Chen Shuyi was silent. Sending a beautiful palace maid to her right after the wedding, was she a spy or just to annoy her?
She was not going to take this humiliation. "The prince likes quietness. Please forgive me for not daring to take a stranger to the palace."
The queen's face suddenly turned gloomy.
At this moment, Zhao Heng, who had returned, walked up to Shen Shuyi, took her hand and said to the queen: "If there is nothing else, your son and the princess will leave the palace."
Right now the emperor still feels sorry for the deposed prince, and the queen can't stop him, let alone send palace maids to the palace.
She didn’t expect Shen Shuyi to be such a tough guy. She had underestimated this woman before.
On the way out of the palace, Shen Shuyi let go of Zhao Heng's hand while sitting in the carriage, pretending to be angry, "Prince, do you know that the Queen just wanted to send a beauty to the palace."
"We are newlyweds, and she is like this!"
"She went too far." Zhao Heng didn't say anything about walls having ears. Instead, he held her hand again to comfort her.
He held her in his arms and whispered in her ear, "I have found some clues. As long as we can find evidence that the queen is poisoning me..."
Shen Shuyi's eyes lit up, "Yeah!"
Zhao Heng gently stroked her back, "As my princess, there is no need to wrong yourself because of such a small matter. Not to mention being a palace maid, even a noble lady cannot enter Prince Su's mansion again."
Shen Shuyi kissed him on the cheek, “I feel relieved with your words, I know the prince will support me!”
Zhao Heng joked, "We can't anger our father yet."
"No, considering he gave me so much gold, silver and jewelry, I can let it go in one ear and out the other!"
"Don't worry Shuyi, I will protect you. No one can hurt you."
…
The days after marriage should not be too comfortable. Apart from studying medical books, Chen Shuyi also reads storybooks and occasionally makes some novel food for Zhao Heng.
As for Zhao Heng, he became much busier after marriage than before, and often had secret communications with his staff and ministers in his study.
It gave Shen Shuyi a feeling that a storm was about to come.
Back in front of the palace gate, Zhao Heng went down first and then extended his hand to Shen Shuyi.
Shen Shuyi put his hand on it, and the next moment he was picked up by the waist and walked into the palace. The servants along the way lowered their heads.
When the housekeeper saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel emotional. The prince finally had a confidant by his side. The late queen would also be comforted if her spirit were still in heaven.
As summer came and the weather became hotter, Chen Shuyi specially cooked some sour plum soup and sent it to the study.
He Ya was standing guard outside the study. When he saw her approaching, he immediately bowed and said, "Your subordinate greets the princess."
"Is your highness still busy?"
He Ya said respectfully, "The staff just left, the prince should be reading memorials inside."
Shen Shuyi nodded slightly, then pushed the door open with the food box in hand.
Jingxian and Heya were waiting there, and tactfully walked a distance away so that they wouldn't overhear the conversation between the prince and the princess because of their sharp hearing.
In the study, Zhao Heng was reviewing memorials at the desk. When he saw Chen Shuyi coming in with a lunch box, he immediately put down the memorial and stood up.
"But the mansion is too stuffy?" Zhao Heng took the lunch box and said, "I'll take you out to relax in the afternoon. We can go to the manor. The housekeeper said the apricots there are ripe."
"Why don't we go tomorrow morning?" Chen Shuyi smiled and took out the sour plum soup from the lunch box. "It's still quite hot in the afternoon. I want to read a storybook at home for a while."
"Try the sour plum soup I made."
"With the addition of black plum and hawthorn, it tastes sour and sweet and is delicious. It can also regulate the spleen and stomach."
"Is it chilled?" Zhao Heng took the bowl, which was cool. "Come and sit down."
"Well, there's also watermelon. Let's eat it after dinner." Shen Shuyi came and sat next to Zhao Heng, watching him drink sour plum soup spoonful by spoonful.
Zhao Heng noticed her gaze and asked, "Have you drunk?"
"I've drunk it, but now I see you drinking it and I'm greedy again."
Zhao Heng held the bowl, scooped a spoonful of sour plum soup and handed it to her lips.
The two of them kissed often, so they didn't feel awkward using the same spoon.
Shen Shuyi came over, and the two of them quickly finished the whole bowl of sour plum soup.
She naturally took out a new storybook from the bookshelf and started reading. Naturally, since she had married into Prince Su's mansion, half of the space in the mansion's study was reserved for her to display medical books, or some storybooks.
She even put up a new low couch in the study that was particularly comfortable and suitable for sitting, lying down, or leaning against to read. Even the bamboo curtains on the windows were her favorite style.
Zhao Heng saw the princess sitting comfortably on the couch reading a storybook, so he also took a book and sat down next to her.
He was reading a book on military strategy. In the past, he could immerse himself in such a book, but with the sweet and soft princess in front of him, he could not calm down.
It seems that the sour plum soup I just drank can't quench my thirst.
The princess's little face was fair with a hint of pink, and she looked particularly well-behaved when she was reading quietly.
Especially when sleeping.
Shen Shuyi yawned as she watched, even though she had just woken up from her nap...
When the book in her hand fell and she squinted her eyes, Zhao Heng hugged her in his arms.
Shen Shuyi smelled the familiar fragrance of bamboo leaves and habitually snuggled into his arms.
When Zhao Heng looked down, the person in his arms had closed his eyes, his lips were rosy...he couldn't help but lower his head.
He tasted the sweet flavor of sour plums, and as light poured in through the window, he raised his hand and pulled down the bamboo curtain.
When Shen Shuyi opened her eyes, she met Zhao Heng's handsome face. She laughed and scolded, "My Lord, are you playing tricks on me while I'm asleep?"
