"Okay, Niangniang, what you said, the concubine has taken it to heart, and when she goes back later, the concubine will do this."

Seeing Shen Xianhe like this, the queen nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, yes, by the way, the main reason for holding this banquet today is to let you know more of the minister's family, you definitely don't know any of these people, so after going to the Imperial Garden for a while, you will follow the side of the palace, and the palace will introduce you."

Shen Xianhe suppressed the doubt in his heart and showed a grateful expression.

"Thank you Niangniang for your love, your great kindness, the concubine is unforgettable, please rest assured, in the future, no matter what the concubine wants the concubine to do, whether it is on the knife mountain or under the sea of fire, the concubine will not blink an eye."

Hearing Shen Xianhe's desperate words, the queen held back the smugness in her heart and smiled.

"Good boy, it's serious, there is nothing that you need to do in this palace, it's just that seeing that you are so pitiful, I can't help but feel compassion, so I can't help but help you, so, this matter, I can't let the prince know, the relationship between this palace and the prince is not very good, if he learns about it, the relationship between this palace and him will become worse and worse."

"Don't worry, the concubines will definitely obey your orders, and will never let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know, so don't worry."

Shen Xianhe swore an oath.

"That's good, Bengong believes that you won't, okay, almost everyone is here, you and Bengong will go over, don't let those ladies and young ladies wait for a long time."

"Yes."

In this way, Shen Xianhe followed behind the queen mother and led a group of palace people towards the imperial garden where the banquet was held.

As soon as they entered the Imperial Garden, the ladies and ladies in the garden all stood up and saluted them.

"See the Queen! See the Crown Princess! ”

The queen kept smiling dignified and elegant, and raised her hand slightly.

"Flat! Today, the palace invited all the ladies into the palace to participate in this banquet, mainly because they have not seen the ladies for a long time, and in addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Northern Qiang Kingdom has recently married, and the ladies have not seen the princess, so today, the palace has held this banquet, so that everyone can get to know the princess, and let the princess come to know the ladies. ”

"Yes, thank you for your grace! Thank you for the grace of the princess! ”

After receiving the queen's absolution, the ladies began to get up.

The queen mother looked back at Shen Xianhe with satisfaction, smiled at her soothingly, and then continued to walk towards the main throne with her.

After the queen sat on the main seat with the support of the palace maid, Shen Xianhe also sat on the side seat below the queen with the support of the crescent moon, and the other ladies also sat down according to their positions.

"Okay, everyone is more relaxed, don't be restrained, just do what you want."

"Yes."

The ladies replied.

Although the queen said that there was no need to be restrained, the ladies still sat in their places according to their duties and rules, and did not get up to talk as before.

Shen Xianhe looked at the pastries in front of her, thinking that when she went out today, she hadn't had breakfast, because she had a bad appetite, so after Su Nianjun went out, she ordered her subordinates to withdraw.

Now that I came here, after tossing for so long, I felt a little hungry, so I reached out and put a small piece in my mouth with chopsticks and ate it.

"Courtiers see the crown princess!"

Shen Xianhe hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to his wife, who was making a big salute.

"Madame, please, don't be polite, the queen has just said, let everyone relax and don't have to be restrained, so Madame doesn't have to be polite."

"Yes, thank you for the grace of the princess."

After the lady got up, she smiled and continued to speak to Shen Xianhe.

"Presumably, the princess doesn't know the courtier, so the courtier has the courage to introduce herself, the courtier is the wife of the prime minister and the sister-in-law of the queen."

"Oh! It turned out to be the wife of the Prime Minister, which is really disrespectful. ”

Shen Xianhe's surprise was not pretended, she really didn't expect that the woman in front of her was the prime minister's wife and the queen's sister-in-law.

"The princess, you are polite, the courtiers came to see you because they heard the queen mother say about you, everyone is a woman, so they sympathize with you, so I came to persuade you, women in this world are not easy to live, now you came to Beiqiang by mistake, the courtiers know that you are very sad in your heart, and want to leave here, but now that you are married to His Royal Highness the Prince, you are the person of His Royal Highness the Prince, why not leave the past and accompany His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Shen Xianhe didn't expect the Prime Minister's wife to say such a thing, the shock on her face was the same as in her heart, she looked back at the crescent moon behind her, and saw that she was also shocked, and the two quickly made eye contact.

Shen Xianhe hurriedly turned his head to look at the queen mother of the main seat, and saw that she was chatting happily with several ladies, so Shen Xianhe withdrew his gaze and looked at the prime minister's wife who was waiting for her to answer in front of him.

"Madam, what you said, this palace knows that you are persuading and not persuading, but since you know about this matter, it must be what the queen mother told you, but, since you know that I am not willing in my heart, but, have you thought about the position of this palace? Although Su Nianjun is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Beiqiang, in the heart of this palace, there is already someone you like, even if that person is not very prosperous and rich, but this palace just likes him in her heart, and it has nothing to do with anything else, you just said that it is not easy for women to live in this world, so after meeting their own happiness, why not work hard to fight for it? I know that even if I compromise and stay by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's side, I will not be happy for the rest of my life, so such a reluctant relationship is a kind of torture for him and for me, he is now interested in me, so he can't let go of me, but when these interests are over, how should I deal with myself? ”

After Shen Xianhe pretended to be angry and said this, the Prime Minister's wife not only did not show any signs of anger, but showed a look of relief.

"The princess can't help it, just now it was just the courtiers who deliberately tested you, in fact, after the queen told the courtiers about you, the courtiers have always wanted to come to see you, because the queen is a kind-hearted person, and the courtiers don't want her to be used because of her kindness, so what she said just now is to test the princess's attitude towards His Royal Highness the prince, now, it seems that the princess is really as the queen said, so, please rest assured that the princess will definitely help the princess escape from Beiqiang with the queen mother, of course, Please also ask the crown princess to keep it secret, and today's matter cannot be mentioned to a third person other than the queen. ”

Having said that, Shen Xianhe still didn't understand anything, she also understood why the queen held this banquet today, everything was just a routine.

Although she was sincere last time, the queen never believed her in her heart, so this banquet was held today to facilitate the prime minister's wife to enter the palace to test her.

It's just that what Shen Xianhe didn't expect was that such a big battle was just to test her, and it was really boring enough.

"It turns out that this is the case, but madam, since you and the queen mother don't believe in this palace so much, then the palace will not let you help, lest the queen mother and Mrs. still think that this palace is a spy sent by His Royal Highness the Prince."

Seeing that Shen Xianhe was angry, the Prime Minister's wife hurriedly waved her hand to persuade him.

"Please also ask the princess not to be angry, you know, the relationship between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the queen mother, although the queen mother does not have this heart, but people outside say that the queen mother has long hated His Royal Highness the prince, and over time, His Royal Highness the prince also believed these rumors, so the courtiers have to think more for the queen mother, if this move makes the princess angry, please also ask the princess to punish the slave and maid, don't blame the queen mother, she doesn't know anything."

Shen Xianhe got up with an angry face, and was about to angrily reprimand the prime minister's wife, when the shrill voice of the eunuch came from the gate of the imperial garden, interrupting Shen Xianhe's angry reprimand.

"Princess Dongping, the lord of Luoxue County has arrived!"

Shen Xianhe turned his head to look at this voice, and saw that the lord of Luoxue County came with a well-maintained lady.

Hearing this voice, even the queen mother, who was talking to other ladies, cast her eyes, and got up and looked in the direction of Princess Dongping with a smile.

Shen Xianhe watched them come with an expressionless face, and the prime minister's wife, who was still in front of her, whispered to comfort her.

"The crown princess doesn't have to worry, although the lord of Luoxue is unreasonable, but Mrs. Dongping is a general knowledge, they will not embarrass you, but even if they embarrass you, the queen mother and courtiers will not sit idly by."

This happened just now, and Shen Xianhe couldn't thank the prime minister's wife, so he nodded to her with a complicated expression.

"Well, in this case, this palace will thank Madame and the queen mother in advance, and of course, thank you very much Madame for the reminder."

Soon, Princess Dongping and Lord Luoxue walked up to the queen's mother, bowed slightly to the queen, and saluted, of course, the queen would not be dissatisfied with this, because she knew that she could not afford to offend the two women in front of her.

"The palace still thinks that the princess and the county lord are not coming? So I didn't wait for you to start, so this palace is a little rude. ”

Listening to the queen's mother's words of being so low, Shen Xianhe sneered in his heart, it was really embarrassing for the queen of a country to be like this, of course, Shen Xianhe only said these words in his heart, and he would not really say them.
