A palace maid entered Zhongcui Palace and said, "Empress Shufei, the Emperor has ordered you to bring Princess E to Guanju Palace to visit the young master."
"I understand."
Concubine Shu frowned slightly, and Princess E asked, "Your Majesty, is Guanju Palace the palace where Sheng Xiyan lives?"
Concubine Shu said, "Since it is the Emperor's order, please accompany me to Guanju Palace to see the General."
The Crown Prince's Consort muttered, "You are obviously the elder and Sheng Xiyan is of a lower rank, so why did the Emperor let us go to her bedroom?"
Princess E glared at her and scolded her, "You think you can talk about the emperor? You don't want to live anymore."
After leaving Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Shu sat on the bridal sedan chair, followed by Princess E and Princess Shizi.
The Crown Princess took her son Xunxun to look around. Xunxun wanted to go play but was stopped.
The palace was magnificent, with patrolling guards passing by from time to time, and the atmosphere was solemn and majestic everywhere.
After a while, the ceremonial procession stopped outside the main hall of Guanju Palace.
Princess E and Princess Crown Prince looked up and saw that the gate of this palace was even bigger than that of Zhongcui Palace.
The two of them thought that Sheng Xiyan should be living in a side hall or a back hall.
But I didn't expect it to be the main hall.
The scale of this courtyard is very large, even twice as large as the front yard of Prince E's Palace.
Just from the courtyard you can see that its decoration is extremely luxurious.
The red walls, golden tiles, carved beams and painted buildings are full of pastoral charm.
Red high and low swings, half an acre of various rare varieties of peonies and tuberoses swaying in the summer breeze, surrounded by agarwood trees, and a small patch of planted plants that have already produced bright red peppers.
Inside the palace, Hua Xia softly reminded, "My lady, they are here."
Sheng Xiyan calmly adjusted her small brocade robe and got down from the couch leisurely.
Concubine Shu was waiting for her in the yard to come out to greet her. Sheng Xiyan took Jiang Jiang's little hand and slowly walked out of the main hall gate.
She stood quietly on the porch, her eyes fixed on Princess E and others in the courtyard below the three steps.
The Crown Prince's Consort took one look and couldn't help but wonder: Is this still the Sheng Xiyan from the palace? She was dressed in a shimmering, luxurious Yanluo dress, with exquisite makeup and her hair adorned with pearls and jade, exuding a noble and elegant aura.
Sheng Xiyan did not go down the stairs, but bowed on the porch and said, "Your concubine respectfully welcomes Her Majesty the Concubine Shu."
Then he fell silent. The Crown Prince's Consort asked, "Why didn't you pay your respects to your mother-in-law? That's too rude. Don't you recognize anyone after entering the palace?"
Hua Xia said, "The Princess and the Crown Prince's Consort should greet our young master."
Concubine Shu glared at her fiercely.
Princess E saw Jiang Jiang, walked up the stairs, and pulled his hand. Jiang Jiang shook it off, muttering, "Don't touch me."
Concubine Shu said, "Sheng Xiuyuan, is this how you teach your general? You are so disrespectful to your own grandmother."
The Crown Prince's Consort took the opportunity to say, "Yes, if the Second Master saw Jiang Jiang like this, he would be so disheartened."
Sheng Xiyan said, "I have never met the princess before and am not familiar with her. Isn't this normal? Please come in, Madam Shufei."
After entering the main hall, Concubine Shu sat in the main seat very naturally, and asked Princess E to sit in the main seat on the soft couch as well.
Meixiang and Shanhu at the door said angrily, "This is the young lady's bedroom, and they are not polite at all."
"that is."
Hua Xia moved a soft chair and placed it in the middle, "My lady, please sit down."
Sheng Xiyan sat down, and the Crown Prince's Consort shouted, "Hua Xia, didn't you see me? Bring me a soft chair too."
Princess E wiped her tears, and Sheng Xiyan felt sympathy for her. She coaxed Jiang Jiang and said, "Baby, go and say hello to your grandmother."
Jiang Jiang was very obedient. He walked up to Princess E, cupped his hands, and said in a baby voice, "Hello, Grandma."
Princess E hugged him and started crying. Jiang Jiang was so frightened that he turned back and said, "Mother..."
Princess E cried and said, "It would be so great if Yan'er could see it. Poor Yan'er, there is no trace of his body left..."
Xunxun, the Crown Princess's son, saw the toys on the couch and climbed up to play with them. Jiangjiang saw that his toys were taken away, so he also climbed onto the couch.
They are both boys, so they can play together.
Princess E wiped her tears and said, "You are living a good life, pity my Yan'er."
The Crown Prince's Consort stood up and looked around the palace. Even the decorations were luxurious and valuable, worth a fortune. She was mad with jealousy.
Sheng Xiyan thought that they would leave after sitting for a while, so she didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Princess E added, "Xi Yan, you came from our palace. You should help the Empress more and listen to her more. Only when she is well can you be well, right?"
Sheng Xiyan took the fruit tea handed to her by Hua Xia, drank it elegantly and thought: What's with the saying that if Concubine Shu is fine, then I will be fine too, is pure empty talk. I didn't enter the palace to be a slave for your daughter.
Seeing her calm and composed attitude, Concubine Shu was a little annoyed and asked, "Sheng Xiuyuan, you have seduced the Emperor into sleeping with him in Guanju Palace for the past half month, breaking the ancestral rules. Do you admit your guilt?"
Sheng Xiyan handed Meixiang the white glazed teacup with painted flowers and said with a faint smile, "Sister Shufei, can I stop the emperor from coming?"
The Crown Prince's Consort sat down and said sarcastically, "Sheng Xiyan, how did you speak to the Queen? You didn't even ask when my mother-in-law and I entered the house. It's so rude."
On the soft couch, Xunxun and Jiangjiang were fighting over the pottery ball. Jiangjiang refused to give it to him, so Xunxun grabbed him rudely.
Sheng Xiyan hurried to the couch and brought Jiang Jiang over. Seeing a red nail mark on his arm, she angrily asked, "How could this kid pinch me?"
The Crown Prince's Consort laughed and said, "What's wrong with children fighting? Besides, our Xunxun is the heir to the palace and is older than Jiangjiang. What's wrong with an older brother hitting his younger brother for fun?"
There was a tall man in the yard who had stopped at the porch and had been listening for a long time.
