Chapter 549: Being a Concubine
Before Shen Liuyue could react, Nuan Nuan jumped over to greet her.
From the outside, she saw the ring on Shen Liuyue's hand. Originally, when she met Xiao Tao, Nuan Nuan was still worried about what Su Zhici would do to Shen Liuyue, but at this time, all her attention attracted the ring.
The emerald emerald jade is surrounded by gold, and there is no lack of delicacy in luxury. This ring is casually shown to people, and they know that it is worth a lot of money.
"Don't touch it, it's something that only your sister can have." Shadow chased after Nuan Nuan and pulled her back to him.
Nuan Nuan was puzzled, and looked up to ask Ying Yi why.
Because this ring, the only one in the world, can only be owned by the princess of the regent's palace, it was handed down by the first queen.
Shen Liuyue clutched the sandalwood box tightly, and her heart was mixed.
Su Zhici gave her this ring, didn't he tell Shen Liuyue that he wouldn't fight, and the position of princess was simply given to Shen Liuyue.
This is something that Shen Liuyue did not expect.
It stands to reason that Su Zhici likes Xuanyuan Zichen so stubbornly, and he does not hesitate to come up with so many tricks to prevent Shen Liuyue from meeting Xuanyuan Zichen, just to keep his status as a princess, and he will not admit defeat so easily.
Could it be that Su Zhici has really changed his temperament and doesn't care about the position of the princess?
"Princess." Ying Yi shouted at Shen Liuyue and pulled her back to reality. "The prince is dealing with things, he asked his subordinates to talk to you, let you clean up, and go to the palace with him to see the emperor."
Ying told Shen Liuyue what Xuanyuan Zichen had ordered.
Shen Liuyue frowned tightly, revealing a puzzled expression.
Suddenly going to see the little emperor, Shen Liuyue was naturally curious. If it was okay in the past, now she is still a "dead person" in the eyes of most people in the capital, and Shen Liuyue feels abrupt when she goes out with her real identity.
"Did he tell you what to do at the palace?" Shen Liuyue simply asked Ying Yi.
"Princess, it's not that you don't know the prince's temperament, how can he tell his subordinates." Ying Yi scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, looking rare and honest.
Shen Liuyue knew that Ying Yi and Xuanyuan Zichen were on the same front, as long as Xuanyuan Zichen didn't want her to know, Shen Liuyue wouldn't want to pry out the news in Ying Yi's mouth.
Yes, then you can only listen to Xuanyuan Zichen and follow to the palace.
Shen Liuyue changed into clean clothes and still wore a veil. It's better not to show your face now. Shen Liuyue is not inferior, she just doesn't want to scare people.
From the moment he saw it, Xuanyuan Zichen had been holding Shen Liuyue's hand. So much so that the two went out side by side, and there were pedestrians passing by the palace, not forgetting to look sideways, not knowing who the girl standing next to Xuanyuan Zichen was.
Maybe Xuanyuan Zichen has a new love?
"I see the people looking at you like enemies." Shen Liuyue quipped.
"Because I like you so much, I thought I left you to hook up with many younger sisters." Xuanyuan Zichen said with a smile. He didn't care, after all, he was not afraid of shadows.
Moreover, Shen Liuyue is now by his side, what else can Xuanyuan Zichen hope for.
The carriage was steady and headed for the palace.
Shen Liuyue leaned on Xuanyuan Zichen's shoulder, her eyes closed slightly.
"Why did you ask me to accompany you to the palace?" Shen Liuyue seemed to ask Xuanyuan Zichen.
"Tell him, of course, you're back, and then he'll inform everyone." Xuanyuan Zichen held Shen Liuyue's hand tightly. This time, he won't let go no matter what.
Xuanyuan Zichen is not a fool, how could he not know that as soon as this matter comes out, it will definitely go to King Qi. King Qi's face was damaged, and it was not so easy to solve.
But he didn't care, he couldn't let Shen Liuyue have no identity after returning to the palace.
"Aren't you afraid?" Shen Liuyue didn't understand why she asked Xuanyuan Zichen this question.
yes, he's not afraid. Since he married Su Zhici at the beginning, he didn't want to provoke the forces of King Qi at this time. But Shen Liuyue came back, and everything was wasted.
"Don't be afraid." Xuanyuan Zichen replied without hesitation. "I'm not afraid of you."
The carriage stopped at the south gate of the palace, and Shen Liuyue was helped out of the carriage by Xuanyuan Zichen.
As long as Xuanyuan Zichen is here, Shen Liuyue is like a three-year-old child, as if she doesn't have to do anything, just follow Xuanyuan Zichen.
The last time Shen Liuyue came to the palace was when she just returned to the capital. In order to overturn the case for the old man's son as soon as possible, Shen Liuyue did not hesitate to risk being discovered.
But in the end, it ended in nothing, Moran was killed, and the matter seemed to be resolved.
Only Shen Liuyue knew that Moran was just the tip of the iceberg, and the real mastermind behind the scenes had never paid the price for the bad things he had done.
The Temple of Nourishing the Heart.
The little emperor reviewed and folded, and the thick pile was like a small mountain, firmly blocking the figure of the little emperor.
Xuanyuan Zichen came in first, and Shen Liuyue waited outside the hall.
If Xuanyuan Zichen could explain this matter clearly, it would naturally be the best.
"The princess is back?" The little emperor was surprised, and his voice was raised a lot.
What he was really surprised was not that Shen Liuyue was still alive, after all, the little emperor knew the news several months earlier than Xuanyuan Zichen. The little emperor was shocked that Xuanyuan Zichen found himself so quickly to explain the matter.
King Qi's power doesn't know the depths, whether it is him or Xuanyuan Zichen, they don't dare to make a move easily. At such a critical time, Xuanyuan Zichen wanted to give up all the forbearance in front of him and take Shen Liuyue back.
If it were an ordinary person, it should be called Xuanyuan Zichen's infatuation. But the little emperor was in the midst of this power struggle, and he felt that Xuanyuan Zichen acted too impulsively.
"Yes, the minister wants to take back the princess." Xuanyuan Zichen bluntly told the little emperor what he thought.
"Nope." The little emperor refused Xuanyuan Zichen without thinking about it.
Xuanyuan Zichen frowned.
"If Sister Ah Yue comes back, what will the county lord do? You can't let the daughter of King Qi be a concubine. When the time comes, the king of Qi will make trouble with me, and I will be in a dilemma. "The little emperor's mind is clearer than before. They have all persevered until now, and they are secretly laying traps, just waiting for King Qi to jump down.
As a result, Xuanyuan Zichen made this trouble, wouldn't it be a halfway to give up, and it might cause even greater contradictions.
"Shuchen only hopes that the daughter of the Shen family will be the princess." Xuanyuan Zichen was resolute and refused to back down from anything.
The little emperor hesitated.
It's not that he doesn't understand Xuanyuan Zichen's deep affection for Shen Liuyue, the little emperor is partial to the two of them. But the emperor is the emperor after all, and he must always consider the overall situation.
The atmosphere in the hall was solemn.
I don't know how long it took, the door opened, and Shen Liuyue came in.
Xuanyuan Zichen and the little emperor both looked surprised, and they didn't know why Shen Liuyue came in at this time.
"The courtiers are willing to be concubines." Shen Liuyue said word by word, very clearly.
"Ah Yue!" Xuanyuan Zichen shouted Shen Liuyue.
And Shen Liuyue only looked up at the little emperor, and her face was very serious. She stood outside and heard the conversation between Xuanyuan Zichen and the little emperor clearly.
"Since the courtiers have not died, they must give an explanation to the people of the capital. Returning to the palace is also for the reputation of the prince, so as not to gossip outside and make the palace unstable. The county lord's daughter, making her a concubine is by no means an expedient move. It's better to let the courtiers be concubines, the best of both worlds. ”
Shen Liuyue once again showed the little emperor that she was willing to be a concubine.
"Nope." Xuanyuan Zichen interrupted Shen Liuyue's words.
"Lord Wang." Shen Liuyue turned her head and looked at Xuanyuan Zichen.
Xuanyuan Zichen's brows were about to frown.
He knew that Shen Liuyue was all for him, and Shen Liuyue was very stubborn, if she didn't agree today, she would definitely worry about herself.
In the final analysis, I still don't have enough ability.
Xuanyuan Zichen felt sorry for Shen Liuyue and felt frustrated. obviously wanted to protect her, but in the end, Shen Liuyue was worried about everything.
Coming out of the Heart Cultivation Palace, Xuanyuan Zichen's mood was very low.
In order not to make Shen Liuyue think too much, he tried to be happier.
"You don't have to pretend in front of me." Shen Liuyue saw at a glance that Xuanyuan Zichen was strong.
After getting into the carriage, Shen Liuyue got into Xuanyuan Zichen's arms again.
In a trance, I went back to when the two first fell in love, and now that they have hugged for a long time, their thoughts are calmer than before.
At that time, their minds were full of love and love, and now the affairs of the government and government, which one of them did not give them great pressure. Shen Liuyue didn't understand, but she still felt sorry for Xuanyuan Zichen.
"I'm sorry." Xuanyuan Zichen thought for a long time, and gently read these three words out of his mouth.
"I'm sorry for what, since you and I are married, we should share weal and woe. But in the name of a concubine, I just need to know that you love me. It was precisely because of Xuanyuan Zichen's love for herself that Shen Liuyue gave her enough confidence.
If the two can finally become married, what does it matter if they suffer some twists and turns in the middle.
Hearing Shen Liuyue's words, Xuanyuan Zichen hugged her tighter.
The little emperor ordered to post a notice in the capital, Shen Liuyue's death was just a rumor, and now she has returned to the palace. For a while, the pot exploded in the capital, and everyone talked about it after dinner.
And Shen Liuyue changed from a princess to a concubine, and she said that she felt that Shen Liuyue was wronged, but Shen Liuyue herself didn't think so.
After all, Xuanyuan Zichen's favor was still only given to Shen Liuyue alone.
"Are you sleepy?"
In the study, Shen Liuyue sat next to Xuanyuan Zichen. Xuanyuan Zichen dealt with political affairs, and Shen Liuyue painted.
"Nope." Shen Liuyue was tired of painting, so she lay on the table to rest, quietly looking at Xuanyuan Zichen's serious face.
Accompanying Xuanyuan Zichen, how could he feel tired.
However, boredom is indeed real.
She could have made herbs by herself in the courtyard, or she could go to Liuyue Hall to visit, but Xuanyuan Zichen wanted her to accompany her in the study.
How can others be treated like this, when he deals with things on weekdays, he must ask everyone to stay away from him, so as not to disturb him.
"You wait for me to have a stick of incense, I'll deal with it right away, and I'll go out shopping with you." Xuanyuan Zichen stretched out his hand and pinched Shen Liuyue's cheek.
Well, yes, it's a little more meat than when I first returned to the palace. Xuanyuan Zichen was happy.
"Really!" Shen Liuyue's eyes lit up.
"Really." The corners of Xuanyuan Zichen's mouth rose slightly.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
