Chapter 90 Leaving the Palace
Chapter 90 Leaving the Palace
It's Zhaoyang Palace again!
Ms. Song felt that she and Shen Shixi were simply incompatible.
There's a sense of destiny, like "Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?"
Shen Shixi is currently at odds with the emperor!
The emperor hadn't come for several days, and both of them were starting to go a little crazy.
Shen Shixi was in a bit of pain, so she cried out.
She never wronged herself; even the slightest pain would cause her to make a scene as if she were about to die. Li Yuanke got a little angry at her antics, and the two of them became increasingly unruly.
Finally, Li Yuanke simply picked her up and carried her to the ground.
His arms are very strong.
Shen Shixi struggled and then took the initiative to get up, which was exactly what Li Yuanke wanted.
Shen Shixi leaned on his shoulder and punched him, "Li Yuanke, waaaaah, you're so mean!"
"Keep making a scene, you bastard, you have to argue about who's right?"
"Hmm, I'm just trying it out, you don't have to do anything, okay?" Shen Shixi bit his shoulder, waiting for the urge to pass.
The tension lasted for quite a while, and neither of them said a word.
Li Yuanke restrained himself and placed her on the soft couch in the room, while he stood on the ground.
Autumn has arrived.
The fragrance of osmanthus blossoms wafted in through the window, dispelling the musty smell of roses in the room.
Shen Shixi's legs were straight and long, with fair skin and delicate bones, coiled like two serpents. Her long hair fell down, swaying like seaweed. Even the moonlight that shone through couldn't compare to the stunning beauty in Li Yuanke's arms.
He wanted to devour everything about it.
After eating her fill, Li Yuanke carried her to the hot spring pool.
With this hot spring pool, we won't need to call anyone to fetch water as many times as we want at night.
Bai Ping and Lan Ying came in and changed the bed.
Not hearing any movement from their two masters, the two dared not linger and quickly went out to close the door, their faces flushed.
The commotion at the hot spring pool was also considerable.
Water splashes.
Shen Shixi leaned against the edge of the bathtub, her legs weak and unsteady. Li Yuanke supported her with his arm, his back as white and clear as snow in the moonlight.
An hour later, the two emerged from the hot spring.
Fortunately, we started early; it's not midnight yet.
Li Yuanke still wouldn't let her go, so Shen Shixi pushed him away, saying, "No, I have to go back to the Shen family tomorrow."
She didn't mention going back to her parents' home, assuming that concubines didn't have such a luxury as a family home.
Li Yuanke said, "Tomorrow I will have Li Fude prepare some gifts for you to take back."
"Oh, thank you, Your Majesty!" She closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
"You bastard!" Li Yuanke cursed, then hugged her, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep.
The court and the Empress's palace were given a three-day holiday, so there was no need for morning greetings.
Shen Shixi asked Lan Ying to inform the Empress that she was leaving the palace.
Although Li Yuanke agreed, the Empress was still the principal wife.
How could the Empress refuse? Of course she agreed, and even bestowed some gifts upon Shen Shixi: a century-old ginseng, four bolts of palace satin, and several pieces of jewelry, for him to take home.
Shen Shixi naturally brought along the gifts, including the emperor's bestowal: tea, writing implements, eight bolts of brocade, and two jars of imperial wine. There were quite a few items; imperial gifts are all about prestige.
Shen Shixi also brought a lot of things home: two sets of headdresses, eight bolts of brocade, and a few pieces of jewelry that only young ladies would wear. There wasn't much else she needed to bring before she left the palace.
The guards appointed by Li Yuanke, along with fifty Xuanjia soldiers, formed a large and imposing group.
Shen Shixi drove her car onto the street, and before she had gone far, she had someone stop the car and asked Bai Ping to get out and buy her something.
I bought a lot of food, drinks, toys, and entertainment.
As for buying jewelry and fabrics outside, there's no need for that; the best fabrics and the most exquisite craftsmen are all in the palace.
On the way, Shen Shixi encountered the delegations of Donghu and Xiqiang who were heading to the capital; they had finally arrived.
One-third of the previous delegation is still imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice. The Great Zhou accused them of colluding with the rebels. Whether it was real or fake collusion, Li Yuanke's intention to put pressure on the foreign tribes was not too obvious.
The Donghu and Xiqiang should indeed be warned; their flirting with Xiling Beisha shouldn't be too obvious.
It had nothing to do with Shen Shixi. She told someone to pull over and let them pass first.
She didn't know who came from the Donghu, but when she saw someone lift the curtain of the Xiqiang carriage, she saw that it was the Queen of Xiqiang who had come in person.
That is, Yulong's biological mother.
A mother must be heartbroken to see her daughter die in a foreign land!
Li Yuanke is a real scoundrel; he treated the princess who came to marry him as cannon fodder.
Even emperors are creatures that cannot be expected to have feelings; those who do have feelings do not live long.
The Shen family received news that their young master was about to return, and they were extremely worried.
How could I not know what kind of person my own daughter is?
Ever since Bai Kui returned and announced her arrival, Shen Xianzhang had been unable to eat or sleep properly. He asked his mother several times, "Did the Emperor reprimand Xi'er?"
"Did she run back to her parents' home? Will she ever return to the palace? What if she doesn't?"
Old Madam Shen was also annoyed by her son's constant chatter. "Shut up for a bit! I was fine until you made me so anxious!"
Madam Shen was extremely worried.
However, it was Miss Shen, Shen Shixian from the third branch of the family, who said, "Eldest Uncle, Second Uncle, you should worry about yourselves first. Now that Second Sister is back, can Third Sister's matter still be handled the same way as before? Will Second Sister agree?"
Madam Shen wiped away her tears, referring to her daughter.
Upon hearing that Shen Shixi had arrived, the family hurried out to greet him.
Although she was only a fourth-rank concubine, she was still a member of the royal family, which created a distinction between the emperor and his subjects.
As Madam Shen was about to bow, Shen Shixi quickly helped the old lady and her father up, while Bai Ping and Bai Kui also quickly helped the other masters.
"Dad, you finally decided to shave your beard. You look so much better now, and Mom is happy with it too."
Shen Xianzhang was so angry he wanted to hit someone, and Madam Shen almost choked on her breath, so angry she wanted to stomp her feet.
What a rebellious daughter she gave birth to!
It's all about upsetting your own parents!
Luckily I got married.
I was reluctant to part with it before, but now I am.
Once inside, Shen Shixi bowed to the old lady and her parents, but no one dared to make her kneel. She herself was also annoyed by the constant bowing. With the old lady's help, she stood up straight.
Just a little something.
Shen's father's eyes twitched as he watched.
Shen Shixi counted the heads. "Why isn't Third Sister here?"
The third sister is Shen Shiwan from the second wife's family. As her name suggests, she is an extremely gentle girl. She was bullied by Shen Shixi a lot when she was young, but she never held it against Shen Shixi and always gave in to her older sister. She was quite a sister-obsessed sister.
Everyone fell silent.
Shen Shixi looked at the tearful Madam Shen.
"You, as her older sister, are always worrying about her! Wan'er is really unlucky. A few days ago, she went to a banquet at the Zhou family's residence, where the Imperial Censor. In the middle of the meal, Wan'er went to change her clothes, but someone took her there and led her to a room where..."
Madam Shen wailed, "There was that damned bastard changing clothes in there, and Wan'er caught him red-handed."
"Who is it?" Shen Shixi's voice turned cold; it was clear that someone had set him up.
"Zhou Yongyu, the only son of Zhou Anmo, the Censor-in-Chief." Uncle Shen's voice was filled with sorrow.
"That playboy?" Shen Shixi sneered. "Wasn't he supposed to be engaged? What's the Zhou family up to?"
(I'll be taking care of the kids this weekend, so we'll update more on Monday. Thank you all so much for your support! It's not that I don't accept criticism; I don't mind low ratings if the writing isn't good, but I don't want to be given low ratings because of the "cleanliness" aspect. When I was younger, I didn't read non-clean romance novels either, but now I can't really get into one-on-one relationships, especially palace intrigue. It all feels so fake. I'm older now, and I don't believe in those things anymore. However, everyone has their own taste, and I can understand this demand. I hope I'll have the opportunity to write some in the future.)
