The most abundant thing in the palace, besides the palace maids and eunuchs, is naturally the concubines.
They are at the pinnacle of power. As long as there is one person who dislikes their status, a group of palace maids and eunuchs will come to dislike them. What's more, the ones who hate them the most in the palace are the concubines.
Rong Xi had been in the world of the harem before, so she knew everything he said.
Seeing that he seemed to be trapped in his painful past, I still wanted to help him.
"Do you know what the emperor said to me yesterday when he asked me to go to the imperial study?"
How could Shen Ze'an not know that he came here for this matter, but after being tormented by her last night, he asked me about the real business.
"say what?"
"The emperor gave me another dowry."
"That's really congratulations."
Shen Ze'an's hands didn't stop, still fiddling with Rong Xi's hair.
"Why don't you ask him why he gave me an extra dowry?"
This is where Shen Ze'an's doubts arose. He remained silent, waiting for Rong Xi to explain.
"He asked me to watch your every move, and his words hinted that it would be best if he could kill you."
There is no need to think too much, Jiang Rongxi must have agreed, otherwise, with the emperor's stingy nature, he would not agree to such a large share of the dowry.
But why did she tell me this? Didn’t she know that I would really kill her?
He didn't dare to think too much, nor was he worthy of thinking too much. He was a eunuch, although he also wanted to have a normal life like a normal person.
"So what do you mean by telling me this?"
"The two dowries I want later are mine. I will detoxify you, and you can give me the first dowry and betrothal gift."
This means wanting it all.
"Ninth Princess, can you eat all this?"
"Don't worry about this. Just tell me whether you agree or not."
"How can I trust that you can detoxify the blocked area? And how can I trust that you won't poison me again and kill me to seek credit for it from the emperor?"
Rong Xi looked at Shen Ze'an in the mirror. At this moment, he showed his usual cunning and cold expression. It seemed that he really didn't believe in himself.
Yes, who would put their life in the hands of others?
"You may not believe me, but no one can cure your poison except me."
Shen Ze'an suddenly bent down and leaned close to her ear. His eyes were fixed on Rong Xi in the mirror, as if he wanted to see through her eyes the secret deep in her heart. He asked softly, "Jiang Rongxi, who are you?
He had long suspected that this was not the Ninth Princess from the palace, and even suspected that this was a cunning man in disguise who was coming to kill the emperor or himself.
He even brought her to his side and observed her for a while, but no flaws were revealed.
In addition to her unique abilities and the amazing medical skills she has now revealed.
But various signs and countless tests revealed that she was still the Ninth Princess.
Rong Xi felt a little flustered. This man was indeed not easy to deceive.
"I am the ninth princess of Xiali Kingdom."
"Then Princess Nine, tell me how you learned this medical skill and how you acquired this ability."
"No comment. I'm telling you again, marrying you is mutually beneficial. I won't ask too much about your affairs, but you shouldn't ask too much about my own either."
Shen Zean's face turned cold. It turned out that he was thinking too much.
"Okay, then wait for me to marry you."
.
The fifteenth day arrived quickly, and Rong Xi was pulled up early in the morning to dress up. Although the Queen Mother and the concubines in the palace were not very friendly to the Ninth Princess, today was not only her big day, but also Shen Ze'an's.
They could only carry generous gifts and come early to congratulate.
Rong Xi had no interest in flirting with them, so she got into the bridal sedan as soon as the time came.
The Governor's Mansion was also bustling with activity, with lanterns and decorations everywhere and red silk hanging high.
Shen Ze'an stood in front of the lobby, wearing a red wedding gown, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his heart filled with nervousness and anticipation.
Soon Rong Xi appeared. She was wearing a bright red wedding dress and walked towards him with graceful steps.
Shen Ze'an's heart suddenly tightened, his gaze became more and more fiery as Rong Xi approached. He reached out and gently held Rong Xi's hand, feeling the warmth from her hand.
He told himself countless times that they were just cooperating, but he still couldn't help but want to take another look.
"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, then husband and wife bow to each other and enter the bridal chamber."
Rong Xi was sent back to the new house in the backyard. Shen Ze'an told someone to take care of it and went to the front hall.
After all, this was the first time I had ever seen a eunuch make such a big fuss about getting married.
But everyone was afraid of the power of the Western Factory, and some even wanted to establish a relationship with it. Although it was horrifying, everyone was happy about it.
At first, there were people who opposed this marriage. Many salt officials wanted to die to protest against it, but this was the emperor's decision, and it was suppressed without Shen Ze'an having to do anything.
Shen Ze'an, pretending to be drunk, was sent to Rong Xi's place. Once the door was closed, he regained his clarity of mind.
He just stood in front of Rong Xi in a daze, the scale in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.
Rong Xi was puzzled. What was this person doing? Why was he taking so long to lift the veil? If that was the case, she would have lifted it herself.
Just as he raised his hand halfway, the scale bar came in, and the red cloth in front of him was replaced by Shen Ze'an in wedding clothes.
Rong Xi couldn't help but sigh, "You look really good today."
After saying that, he covered his mouth shyly, trying to explain that he didn't mean to tease her, but the more he tried to explain, the weirder it seemed.
Chen Ze'an knew that he was good-looking and many people had said that about his appearance. He didn't like it when men or women looked at him with such eyes. There was a time when he even felt that if he noticed the other person's bad eyes, he would send him to the west.
But today, when I heard her praising me like that, I felt like my ears were burning.
"You're good at praising people."
In fact, he wanted to say that Jiang Rongxi looked even better today, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
Shen Zean skillfully took off the various hairpins on her head, but after washing up, the two of them faced the most embarrassing moment of the night.
If it were an ordinary couple, this would have been a night of spring worth a thousand gold, but Chen Ze'an was a eunuch and he couldn't have sex.
Rong Xi also realized this, but they had both thought about this situation a long time ago. One of them climbed onto the bed and prepared to fall asleep, and everything would be fine after getting through this awkward night.
The other one walked to the cabinet and hesitated for a long time before opening it. Looking at the prepared box inside, his heart beat inexplicably faster.
He glanced at Rong Xi lying on the bed, then looked at the box, and finally took it and walked over.
Rong Xi slept on the inside, closed his eyes tightly and tried to fall asleep quickly. This was the first time he had experienced such a thing in so many worlds.
She wished the system could give him a deep sleep.
"In the past, in the past."
Rong Xi's scalp tingled when he heard the voice. Wouldn't it be better to just fall asleep? Was there any need to get up and talk about something?
She didn't want to agree, but she definitely couldn't fall asleep after just going to bed, so she turned over.
The first thing she saw was Shen Zean's uneasy and embarrassed expression. She didn't know why he paid attention to the box in his hand. Her intuition told her that this box was unlucky.
