Shen Qiqi had always heard that the Empress Dowager was an amiable person, and when she saw it today, it was indeed the case, which made her feel a little more at ease.

"You're seventeen, Mo'er's princess, right?" The Queen Mother opened her mouth, her tone was so gentle, and when the Queen Mother asked, everyone turned their heads to look at Shen Seventeen, and Shen Seventeen suddenly became the focus of everyone.

Knowing that the Queen Mother was asking herself, and also felt that many eyes in front of her were staring at him, Shen Qiqi's heart that had just been put down suddenly lifted again, and he just nodded stunned.

"Come here, let the mourning family take a good look at you."

Receiving a response, the Empress Dowager continued to speak gently, beckoning to Shen Seventeen and motioning for her to come over.

Shen Seventeen had no choice but to walk cheekily to the Queen Mother under the gaze of everyone, sit down next to her, and after the Queen Mother asked the other ladies to find a place to sit down, she pulled Shen Seventeen to ask long and short questions, and the words were full of amiability, giving Shen Seventeen the feeling that the Queen Mother seemed to like herself very much? "If Mo'er treats you badly and bullies you, remember to tell the mourning family, and the mourning family will teach him a lesson for you."

"Seventeen has been married to Mo'er for so long, and the mourning family has never seen seventeen, so is it okay to enter the palace to accompany the mourning family in the future?" The Queen Mother kept holding Shen Seventeen and said.

"Okay."

Shen Qiqi quickly nodded in agreement this time, and in this short conversation, she also slowly lowered her vigilance, and found that the Queen Mother really liked herself, she was a very kind old man, she was very concerned about herself, she also liked her very much, and the two talked very harmoniously.

The female dependents below were jealous at the beginning when they saw that Shen Qiqi had been loved by the Empress Dowager and could sit next to the Empress Dowager, and they took the initiative to chat with the Empress Dowager at first, but after they couldn't get into their topic several times, they gave up and chatted with each other about other things, so they didn't care.

The conversation ended late until someone outside reminded us of dinner.

The dinner was all the relatives sitting together, and the table was set for fifty meters, and all the people were barely seated, because it was in the temple, so they were all vegetarians, not as usual, Shen Seventeen sat next to Gu Jinghuai, although there was no meat to eat, he was very happy.

The first time she ate with so many people, it was the first time for her, although she didn't speak, but there was no embarrassment, the royal nobles, always etiquette, eat more and eat, can't speak.

After dinner, it was all right, and everyone went back to their rooms to do what they wanted.

Shen Qiqi didn't want to go back to face Gu Jinghuai, so he took Begonia Bai Ruo to the courtyard behind the ancestral temple and took a leisurely walk.

Not long after, the Seventh Prince, Gu Lianfan, also came, and he was slightly surprised when he saw Shen Seventeen, and shouted Shen Seventeen, and the two chatted together.

"Why isn't the third sister-in-law with the third brother?" The Seventh Prince, Gu Lianfan, was the same age as Shen Seventeen, but Gu Lianfan was also extremely tall, and Shen Seventeen had to tilt his head to see his face, which was slightly embarrassing, but Gu Lianfan just thought of something and asked, and didn't think much about it, and he didn't know what was wrong with him asking like this, and he kept patiently waiting for Shen Seventeen to answer him.

"He's tired, let's go back and rest first."

Shen Seventeen had no choice but to make up an excuse, Gu Lianfan nodded after listening to it, and did not continue to ask, Shen Seventeen didn't know if he believed his words, but he didn't want to continue the topic, so he took the initiative to divert the topic.

"Why is the Seventh Lord here?"

"I'm bored, they all went with my sister-in-law, leaving me alone as a lonely person, with no one to accompany me, so I had to come to the backyard alone to relax."

"Poof--" Gu Lianfan's witty tone made Shen Qiqi laugh, and he couldn't help laughing, he didn't need to be honored when he talked to himself, giving Shen Qiqi a feeling that he could be close.

"Hahaha~~" Gu Lianfan himself laughed for a while, touched his nose, suddenly stopped laughing, and asked with a serious face, "Is it funny?" ”

Seeing Gu Lianfan's suddenly serious appearance, Shen Qiqi also stopped smiling, thought for a while, and nodded, "Well, a little." ”

"Ahh It seems that I am going to hurry up and ask the imperial brother for a daughter-in-law. ”

Gu Lianfan repented, "Otherwise, I, a lonely old man, will be laughed at and killed." ”

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to. ”

Shen Qiqi didn't know if Gu Lianfan said this or not, but it was really wrong for her to suddenly laugh at others, so she subconsciously apologized.

"Don't, don't, third sister-in-law, I'm kidding, you don't have to apologize, I don't want to marry a daughter-in-law so soon, I can't go around to play if I marry a daughter-in-law, I'll be very annoyed! Actually, I also sneaked out, and the royal brother had something to talk about, and I didn't want to participate, so I ran out. ”

Gu Lianfan finally said mysteriously.

"They talk about national affairs, and I listen to them every time, and I feel uncomfortable to death, so I just don't listen."

"Uh-huh, I see."

It was also very easy to chat with Gu Lianfan, Shen Qiqi began to feel that the people of this Gu Lian family were not so difficult to get along with, of course, in addition to the emperor Gu Lianyi, there was also the third prince Gu Jinghuai, the two of them, Shen Qiqi felt that he couldn't get along with them.

The deeper the night, the deeper the chill in the air, feeling that her body was starting to get cold, although Shen Qiqi didn't want to go back, but the night was so deep, if she didn't go back, she would be gossiped about, so she had to say goodbye to Gu Lianfan and go back to her room.

In the room, Gu Jinghuai was not in it, he had already returned to the room, but seeing that Shen Seventeen didn't go back to the room for a long time, he wanted to go out to see where she went out, but he was pulled by Gu Lianyi to chat halfway, and when he got there, he found that the other princes were there, except for the seventh prince Gu Lianfan, who had already sneaked away.

After their conversation was over, Shen Qiqi was already in the room, and the floor had been laid out, and it seemed that she was not sleeping in the same bed as herself.

"Where have you been?" Gu Jinghuai asked.

"Lord, isn't the concubine here, where are you going?" Shen XVII typed a word puzzle with him.

"What is this for?" Gu Jinghuai asked, pointing to the bed on the ground.

"Bed."

"You're going to sleep here?"

"Of course, how dare the concubine let the noble prince sleep on the ground."

"......" Gu Jinghuai found that he was cheap, knowing that Shen Qiqi would not chat with him properly, he still asked her like a cheap, and when he encountered a gray nose, Gu Jinghuai decided to shut up, his facial expression returned to his previous coldness, walked to the side of the bed, and lay down with his clothes closed.

After the candlelight was extinguished, Shen Qiqi saw that Gu Jinghuai had no extra movements, and then lay down with his clothes closed, the room was dark, but the two people on the bed and the ground had their own thoughts, tonight was the first time they had slept under the same eaves since they got married, although they were not in the same bed, they also felt awkward.

After a sleepless night, when the two woke up the next day, their eyes were dark.

The next day, there was an activity for these royal children to enter the cemetery of the dead to look for medicinal herbs, which was a task specially conceived by the Queen Mother, in order to let these sons and ladies who had always come to eat and stretch out their hands also try the hard work of the people.

Every two people team up in pairs, Shen Qiqi and Gu Jinghuai are husband and wife, so they are naturally divided into a group.

Although it was broad daylight at this time, what she wanted to enter was a place where the dead were buried, Shen Qiqi said in her heart that she was not afraid that it would be a lie, but she also had to bite the bullet, there was no way, everyone else was on it, she couldn't retreat.

Following behind Gu Jinghuai, Shen Qiqi kept pretending to be calm, saying that their luck was really not particularly good, the two of them had already walked to the depths, but they didn't even see the shadow of a single herb.

Just when the two of them wanted to give up, the hard work paid off, they actually saw it on the edge of a grave, Shen Qiqi looked at the already dilapidated tombstone, swallowed his saliva, he seemed to see a pile of white bones next to him? "Husband, the concubine is afraid."

She decided to pretend to be cowardly, and Shen Qiqi, who was bloated, hid behind Gu Jinghuai, her face was full of "fear", and her body was still trembling.

Afraid? Gu Jinghuai looked at Shen Qiqi looking at him with a frightened expression, his bright eyes were clearly shining with shrewdness, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

She was afraid, she just wanted to let herself pick the herbs herself.

Gu Jinghuai didn't expose her, she really did it herself, and when they finished picking the herbs, the others were almost finished, everyone completed the task on time, and the Queen Mother was very happy, and after some appreciation, she led everyone to chant.
