Shen Luoxi watched Xiao Yueze finish practicing his sword, and urged him to wash up and change clothes. When Xueyu arrived, he told her to prepare more food for Xiao Yueze.
Looking at Xiao Yueze's young age, he may still be able to grow taller.
Xueyu nodded, and when she turned around to prepare, she saw Cang Yunxuan walking towards her.
"See you, Your Majesty."
Cang Yunxuan looked around the courtyard and asked coldly: "Where is the new guard?"
Xueyu answered truthfully, "Shiwei Xiao went to cleanse himself."
Cang Yunxuan narrowed her eyes slightly and clenched her fists.
"Are you going down?"
Xueyu looked confused, bowed and walked out of the yard.
Shen Luoxi was drinking tea, and when she saw Cang Yunxuan striding towards him, she only glanced at him.
"Your Majesty is here really early." She said coldly: "So Your Majesty is here now, but what else do you want to say?"
"But I advise the prince to talk to you next time if you have anything to do, so as to save you an extra trip."
Cang Yunxuan looked at her coldly, "I am not here to quarrel with you. I came here so early just to ask you to freshen up, change into better clothes and follow me."
Shen Luoxi frowned when he heard this, "Where are you going?"
"There is a palace banquet today, and the palace nobles and everyone will attend." Cang Yunxuan looked at her, "I want to take this opportunity to win over more people, and you must cooperate with me."
"If something goes wrong, don't say that I didn't warn you."
Shen Luoxi's face darkened, "Since this is an important matter to the prince, why do you say it now?"
Cang Yunxuan spoke slowly, "Princess Xuan has both political integrity and talent. She is King Xuan's virtuous wife. Even if I don't tell you in advance, you can still do a good job."
Shen Luoxi smiled coldly, he was clearly mocking.
Moreover, the reason why Cang Yunxuan did this was that she did not get Chang Yunxuan's consent to let Xiao Yueze be her bodyguard, and secondly, she did not get the answer he wanted during the test last night.
She lowered her eyes. It seemed that she would not be able to meet Hao Yan frequently in the future.
"I'm going to change clothes."
Shen Luoxi turned around and returned to the room. Cang Yunxuan sat outside the yard and waited, and then heard footsteps behind him.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and watched Xiao Yueze standing outside the Shenluoxi house, like a patron saint.
Xiao Yueze didn't even look at Cang Yunxuan, he just looked straight ahead.
Cang Yunxuan's lips moved slightly, and a guard walked up to him.
"The prince has something to ask you."
Xiao Yueze was unmoved and turned a deaf ear to the guard's words.
The guard looked unkind and stretched out his hand to him, "I said that the prince has something to ask you, are you deaf?"
"ah!"
A scream echoed through the cold garden, and the guard took a few steps back, covering his broken hand.
Xiao Yueze said coldly, "Don't touch me casually. Next time, you will definitely lose your hand."
When he said this, he looked at Cang Yunxuan, as if he was speaking to Cang Yunxuan.
Cang Yunxuan's face darkened slightly, and she motioned to the other guards to take the injured guard away.
He stood up and walked to Xiao Yueze. His voice was neither urgent nor slow, but the threat in his words could be clearly heard.
"Although you are her bodyguard, I am her husband. I can easily control her life and death, let alone you, a little bodyguard?"
"I don't know what your purpose is in entering the palace. As long as you show any flaw, I will kill you and make you unable to live or die."
Xiao Yueze looked at him, his expression unperturbed.
"Then, Your Majesty, please keep your eyes open and watch carefully, and don't put some unfounded charges on me."
"But I still want to thank you for your reminder. If I accidentally hurt you in the future, you should be more patient. After all, those who don't know are not guilty."
After he finished speaking, Shen Luoxi also walked out.
Shen Luoxi raised her eyebrows. As soon as she came out, she saw the hostility between the two.
"Your Majesty seems to have a lot to say to my guards, but Yueze is my man. Could you please tell me too?"
Cang Yunxuan turned around so that no one could see his expression.
"What do I have to say to him? Just change your clothes and leave. Don't waste my time."
Shen Luoxi looked at his back as he strode out of the courtyard and rolled her eyes calmly. She looked at Xiao Yueze and said, "Did the prince cause trouble for you?"
Xiao Yueze smiled lightly and said, "No, Princess, don't worry."
"That's good." Shen Luoxi asked, "Just now when I was changing clothes in the house, I heard a scream coming from outside. What happened?"
"The prince's bodyguard said that the prince had something to ask me, but I ignored him because the princess was still changing clothes inside. Then the bodyguard wanted to fight me." Xiao Yueze replied.
"Isn't this embarrassing?" Shen Luoxi raised an eyebrow.
"If you don't succeed, it's naturally not an embarrassment." Xiao Yueze smiled, "Are the princess and the prince going somewhere?"
"I'm going to the palace, you and Xueyu follow me closely, remember?"
Xiao Yueze nodded seriously.
Soon, the carriage stopped outside the palace gate and happened to meet other ministers.
Shen Luoxi stood beside Cang Yunxuan generously, chatting and joking with the minister's family.
It was still early before the banquet started, so the ministers would exchange information through chatting. Especially now that King Lian was in solitary confinement, most of the topics revolved around Cang Yunxuan.
Shen Luoxi smiled appropriately and responded appropriately to the insinuations of the ministers and their female relatives.
For ministers who are useful to Cang Yunxuan, she will reveal more about Cang Yunxuan's thoughts and let them guess. If it is of no use, she will give an ambiguous answer. It is their business to think what to think.
Xiao Yueze would put tea at a suitable temperature in her hand when she stopped, and then continue to look at her quietly.
Groups of people changed around her and Cang Yunxuan, and it wasn't until the emperor and queen arrived that they temporarily calmed down.
"Your Majesty and Queen are here!"
Everyone saluted, and after the emperor and the queen sat on the high seats, the emperor smiled and said: "Pingsheng, you don't have to be restrained. Today's palace banquet is a party to let you see the new treasures acquired a few days ago."
"If you stay restrained, what's the point of this party?"
Everyone said yes, and then sat down to enjoy the singing and dancing.
When the treasures were carefully moved into the main hall, the emperor had something to deal with and left the table temporarily.
With the emperor away, everyone can relax.
All the female relatives came forward to toast the queen together. Although Shen Luoxi didn't want to go, she could only go with the flow.
She stood behind the women and waited for those in front to step back before she and the others stepped forward.
"See the Queen."
The queen looked at her with a smile, "I have heard a lot about Princess Xuan recently. The daughter raised by Shen Xiang is indeed extraordinary."
"The Queen is overly praised. My little skills are not worthy of recognition." Shen Luoxi said softly.
"Princess Xuan is too modest. This is not good. I will punish you by pouring you a glass of wine as punishment." The Queen chuckled.
Shen Luoxi bent down and picked up the jug and poured wine for the queen.
The queen raised her head and drank, but the next moment she spat out a mouthful of blood wine.
