Chapter 98
"Sister princess, don't come here unharmed."

Zhao Wenrui raised his lips, revealing a smile that he thought was coquettish.

However, Shu Yao didn't even bother to talk to him, she glanced at him lazily, and then focused on the oranges that Li Ming had already peeled.

The petals of the oranges are distinct, and even the stems are picked cleanly. Sure enough, a careful person can do everything well.

Being ignored so openly, Zhao Wenrui's face froze, and he narrowed his eyes to look at the people around Shu Yao.

Zhao Wenrui had sent someone to inquire about it earlier, and the little princess, who was always arrogant and conceited and looked down upon by everyone, actually doted on a guard recently.The guard came from a mediocre background, the bastard son of an ordinary official, with no background at all, and thanks to Shu Yao's favor, he got a position in the front office of the palace.

When I saw him today, he turned out to be a handsome boy, no wonder he was loved by a young lady like the princess.However, how long can Israel enjoy the honor of serving others?There are also many concubines in Zhao Wenrui's backyard that he once loved, but now they have gone to nowhere.

"I heard that there are red plums blooming in the palace recently. I'm new to the palace, and I'm not familiar with the East Palace. Is the princess sister free, and take me to find the red plums?"

"My princess doesn't like plum blossoms, so Cousin Zhao should find someone else." Shu Yao didn't even look at him, "My princess is busy and doesn't have time to talk to Cousin Zhao. Chunrui and Pine Needle are seeing off guests."

busy?Busy eating the oranges peeled by the guards?
Zhao Wenrui is used to being the overlord in his fief, when did he receive such cold treatment?
Unexpectedly, the two maids beside Princess Huaxi were not so easy-going. Being stared at by them, Zhao Wenrui swallowed hard, and a trace of sternness flashed across his eyes.

He said meaningfully: "Since this is the case, don't bother the princess's sister for now. I will invite the princess when I have time later."

Fortunately, he was well prepared.For this delicate and arrogant little princess, she really had to outsmart her.

……

On the pavilion not far away, Zheng Yueyao was having tea with the queen.The interaction between Shu Yao and Zhao Wenrui was captured by the two of them.

"Is that Changping Hou Shizi?"

The queen said suddenly.

Zheng Yueyao said yes with a smile.

"Speaking of which, Empress Dowager Changping Hou Shizi is also on the list. As I remember, he hasn't married a wife yet."

The queen hummed lightly, but narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

A few days ago, Zheng Yueyao came to Fengyi Palace and chatted with the queen about Shu Yao.Although she didn't say it clearly, it's not difficult to guess what it was for.

The crown prince's feelings for Shu Yao were not a secret to the queen.But the queen never felt that Shu Yao would pose a threat to Zheng Yueyao.

Not to mention that Zheng Yueyao is the daughter of the Zheng family, and she has family support behind her.She is the queen's chosen daughter-in-law, and the queen recognizes her, so how can Shu Yao compare with her?

This daughter of the Zheng family is shallower than she imagined.

No one knows the son she raised better than the queen.Since the crown prince followed her advice and married Zheng Yueyao, he would not cause any problems in this marriage.

However, Zheng Yueyao is a 17-year-old girl after all, and it is inevitable that she will feel emotional when her husband-in-law has another heart.The queen didn't mind doing something to appease her.

She woke up the queen, Shu Yao was at the age of marriage, if the marriage was not settled, would the emperor really want to raise her for the rest of her life?

Just at the end of the year, when many princes and nobles returned to the capital, the empress held the banquet in the name of Zheng Yueyao, and asked the palace staff to draw up a list to select the prince's grandchildren who were suitable for marriage.

Zheng Yueyao said again: "Changping Hou Shizi took the initiative to find the princess, and the relationship between the two seems to be good."

"In the past, Marquis Qinyang and Marquis Changping lived next to each other, and they are also cousins."

The queen explained lightly, with deep meaning in her eyes.

The Marquis of Changping's fief is far outside Beijing, so this son of the Marquis of Changping is a good choice.

The queen turned her head and told the palace servants, "In the name of my palace, I would like to speak to Prince Changping Hou."

Shu Yao is proud, a dude like Changping Hou Shizi might not be able to catch her eyes.But no matter how willful she is, such a major matter as marriage cannot be decided by herself.

There are many ways to facilitate a marriage, and she has already chosen a more decent way.Emperor Yong brought her up, and the queen is also her elder. If Shu Yao is sensible, she should obediently accept her arrangements.

Zheng Yueyao also summoned the maidservant, and said in a low voice, "Go and invite Princess Huaxi."

……

After Shu Yao ate some snacks, she felt a little dry, so she asked Li Mingji to pour tea for her.

Who would have thought that the tea in the teapot had bottomed out, and Pine Needle took the initiative to say, "Maidservant, go make some tea for you?"

Shu Yao looked at Li Mingji.

She didn't say anything, but the meaning was already very obvious, she really prefers to drink the tea made by Li Mingji.

Li Mingji smiled lightly and said, "Let's go."

Pine needles cast a sidelong glance at Li Mingji.

It was peeling pine nuts, oranges, and making tea. The eunuchs and servants around Emperor Yong were not as courteous as him.Who knew that Li Langjun, who had a beautiful appearance, would look like this in front of the princess?It's true that people can't be judged by their appearance.

He can only rely on this method to stabilize the favor of the princess, unlike her and Chunrui who grew up with the princess since childhood, there is no need to worry about these things.

Thinking of this, Songzhen felt a lot more balanced.

Not long after Li Mingji left, a maid from the plane came over and bowed to Shu Yao, "Princess."

"The empress, the princess concubine invites you to come over."

Queen, princess?

Shu Yao raised her head, and on the pavilion not far away, she saw the queen talking with Zheng Yueyao.

It happened to be about the same time, Shu Yao thought, she went to say hello to them, and then went home directly.

Shu Yao ordered: "You stay here, and the princess will come over later."

Pine needles and Chunrui bowed their heads and said goodbye.

The maid of honor leads the way.

Shu Yao was still sleepy, she rubbed her eyes, thinking that the pavilion was not far away, and it took only a few steps to get there, without taking a soft sedan chair.Unexpectedly, when she raised her head, she realized that the pavilion was far away from her, and there was a pavilion in front of her.

"Where is this?"

She couldn't help but the maid said: "Princess, please wait here, the empress and the princess will come over later."

What kind of words are so mysterious that you want to bring her to this kind of place?
Shu Yao frowned, feeling something was wrong in her heart, and was about to say something, but accidentally saw a lacquered wooden box on the stone table in the pavilion.

Isn't this the box she used to hold the prince's new wedding?

How did it appear here?

Shu Yao was a little strange, she walked a few steps and came to the lacquered wooden box, the more she looked at it, the more familiar the patterns on it seemed.

This lacquered wooden box is also a treasure of Yangzhou craftsmen, and it is difficult to find a similar style in the whole capital. It is probably the one she gave away.

She opened the box and found that the golden bar she gave away was also in the box intact.

Shu Yao put down the box, turned to the court lady and said, "Is this something from the Crown Princess?"

She staggered a step suddenly, and there was a scent, Shu Yao's feet went limp, and she fell down.
