Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly. What were the two of them doing here?
"Miss, the princess asked you to go to the front hall."
After changing her clothes, she went to the main hall.
Before arriving, I heard voices coming from the main hall.
"Although your majesty has been to that bitter and cold place, how come you look younger?" Mu Qingning said with a smile, "You are in better shape than the last time I visited you."
"You are so sweet." Qin said with a smile on her face: "Every time you come, you can make me happy."
"Miss Mu said it's right, and I also think that the queen is indeed a little younger." Chen Shuyi waved his hand, and the maid behind him took out a box: "Here is a wild ginseng that my grandfather and father accidentally found when they were fighting outside. According to the palace doctor, it has extremely high medicinal value and can best replenish qi and blood. I thought you might be able to use it. Now that I have met the queen, I feel that this ginseng gift is a bit inappropriate."
Shen Shuyi's words made Qin even happier. In addition, Shen Shuyi's grandfather and father were both military commanders. Compared with Mu Qingning, Qin was naturally closer to Shen Shuyi.
Qin's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi: "Is Shuyi a virgin?"
"My dear Princess, I have just come of age."
Qin smiled and said, "In the blink of an eye, you have grown into big girls. I still remember when you were just born, you were so small, still in swaddling clothes."
"Yes, when my mother was alive, she told me that you held me in your arms during the full moon banquet."
Qin and Shen Shuyi were chatting happily, and Mu Qingning, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't help feeling jealous when she saw this.
Could it be that this woman wanted to please Princess Ding so that she could marry into the Dingwang Palace? That won’t do! That bitch Shang Ruoyi is just a lowly concubine. Although she is now the world's concubine, according to the current situation of the Shang family, it is only a matter of time before she is divorced. If I marry He Jingheng, the world's concubine will definitely be her in the future. But if Shen Shuyi also has this idea, things will be a little tricky. The Shen family is a military general, and everyone in Dingwang Mansion will definitely be closer to Shen Shuyi, and she will become her biggest stumbling block.
Shen Shuyi looked at her, guessed what she was thinking, smiled contemptuously, and said something stupid.
Just then, a maid came in and said, "My lady, the Princess is here."
"Please come in, please come in!"
Chen Shuyi noticed the expression on Qin's face. When she mentioned Shang Ruoyi, her eyes obviously lit up. Not only that, the smile on her mouth became more sincere.
Mu Qingning didn't notice these subtle expressions at all. She just looked at the woman who came in through the door with a bitter face.
Shang Ruoyi was wearing a goose yellow dress with a white fox fur cloak on the outside. Her long black hair was tied up with a ribbon and she only had a hairpin on her head. It was obviously the simplest decoration, but when she wore it, she felt like she was floating in the air, as if she had fallen into the world of immortals.
Shen Shuyi's eyes fell on the hairpin in her hair, and she was stunned.
I saw that the hairpin was inlaid with a huge oriental pearl, and the most rare thing was that the oriental pearl was golden.
"Greetings to mother."
"Come, come!" Qin waved her hand and said, "Come and sit next to mother!"
"Thank you, mother."
"Greetings to the Princess." Chen Shuyi and Mu Qingning leaned forward slightly. Mu Qingning rolled her eyes secretly. She felt uncomfortable when she thought about paying respects to a lowly concubine's daughter.
"No need to be polite."
Shang Ruoyi's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi, and she saw that she looked indifferent. Only when she looked at the hairpin on her head, her expression changed slightly.
Looking at Mu Qingning, she looked very angry, the word anger was almost written on her face.
"I've heard for a long time that there is a second young lady in the mansion of Shang Xiangye. No, she can't be called Xiangye now." Chen Shuyi changed his words and said, "The second young lady of the Shang family is outstanding in appearance and has a stunning appearance. I have never seen her before. Today I have the honor to see her. She is indeed a beauty. No wonder the princess likes her. If it were a junior, of course he would like her very much."
"Shuyi and I are thinking the same thing." Qin looked at Shang Ruoyi and said with satisfaction, "I have seen countless people, but I have never seen a girl as pretty as Ruoyi."
"Thank you for the compliment, mother." Shang Ruoyi smiled. In fact, she was beginning to feel sleepy.
Mu Qingning looked at Shang Ruoyi unwillingly, and sneered, "Did the Imperial Concubine go to the prison to see Lord Shang?"
Shang Ruo leaned back in her chair and shook her head: "No."
"The Concubine is really a man who sacrifices his relatives for the sake of justice. Now that Shang Xiangye is in prison, it's fine if you don't ask for mercy, but you didn't even go to see him off for the last time. Aren't you afraid of disappointing him?"
Shang Ruoyi almost laughed out loud when she heard this. Her eyes fell on Qin beside her, and her face was indeed not as good-looking as before.
Yes, it was the Dingwang Palace that sent Shangnian to prison. Now that Mu Qingning said this in front of Princess Ding, anyone would think that she was speaking up for the Shang Palace.
This Mu Qingning is willing to say anything to discredit her. I don't know if she really has a brain or not.
"Why should I go see him?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "I really don't know why I have to go."
"Prince Shang is your biological father. If you don't even care about your own father's life or death, who else can you care about?" Mu Qingning curled her lips in disdain: "The Dingguo Palace is the most affectionate and righteous. It's really shameful to marry a daughter-in-law like you." She looked at Princess Zhan and saw that she looked ugly. She thought that she had heard what she said, and continued: "That's right. You were just a concubine's daughter before, and no one taught you much about etiquette, righteousness, and shame. Naturally, you don't understand the rules of this aristocratic family."
Chen Shuyi looked at Mu Qingning who was talking to herself nonstop, and wished he could stay away from her immediately. With this in mind, how did the Right Prime Minister's Mansion raise such a legitimate daughter?
"I don't understand the rules of aristocratic families, but I think I understand benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness better than Miss Mu." Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "Shangnian's crimes are too numerous to list. He framed loyal ministers and killed soldiers. He is my father and the most sinner in the world. What's wrong with me ignoring such a person?" She curled her lips slightly and sneered, "Or do you think that the prince and the prince are wrong to expose Shangnian's crimes?"
Her words woke Mu Qingning up from her dream.
She finally realized what she had said, and looking at Princess Ding's extremely ugly face, she hurriedly said, "Princess, please forgive me, I didn't mean that."
"It's okay." Qin rubbed her forehead, looking tired.
Seeing this, Shen Shuyi stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty has just returned, and we came to disturb you. It is really wrong. Please don't blame us."
