Shen Wanqi's fantasy of himself stealing the show at the full moon banquet did not come true. Except for the first time when Chu Moyuan ignored his greetings, until the end of the full moon banquet, Chu Moyuan's eyes did not fall on him. One cent.
Chu Moyuan slapped him hard in the face in front of nearly half of the civil and military people!
Shen Wanqi didn't understand why things turned out like this. Chu Moyuan had clearly rewarded him for this military matter a few days ago, why did it change so quickly? !
"Yan Xi, do you feel that the emperor deliberately neglected me during today's banquet?" After nightfall, Shen Wanqi returned to the eldest princess's yard for a rare occasion, and diligently rubbed her shoulders and legs.
"Today you were reminiscing with the Emperor...what did you say about me?"
As soon as these words came out, Princess Ancheng knew that the imperial brother was deliberately hitting him, but she naturally would not tell Shen Wanqi about this.
She frowned slightly, looking like she didn't know anything about it: "Is this happening?"
He also whispered considerately: "Is it possible that you have made some mistakes in political affairs in recent days and angered the emperor?"
She deliberately didn't mention Shen Wanqi's last sentence. How could she not know that Shen Wanqi was hinting that she was going to the emperor to file a complaint against him?
Shen Wanqi looked at the undisguised worry on her face and wondered if he might have gone astray.
Ever since he was humiliated by Chu Yanxi when he returned home last time, Shen Wanqi had been angry and stayed outside the home for several days and nights, thinking that Chu Yanxi would quarrel with him even more intensely when he came back.
But he didn't expect that she seemed to be a different person. Not only was she not angry, she actually asked him if he disliked her for giving birth to a daughter, and persuaded him to bring a concubine into the house and give him more fat sons.
Although Chu Yanxi's abnormality made him feel something was wrong, he still enjoyed her attitude and couldn't help but relax his vigilance.
Naturally, he saw clearly that the emperor was snubbing him at today's banquet. At that time, he thought that the changes in these days were all Chu Yanxi's conspiracy, in order to make him relax his vigilance, and then he severely complained to him in front of the emperor. !
But now looking at Chu Yanxi's reaction, Shen Wanqi hesitated rarely. Could it be that it was really not Chu Yanxi's complaint, but that he himself had made a political mistake?
Shen Wanqi's mind was in confusion, making him feel dizzy. Looking at An Cheng's noble and cold face under the light, his heart felt a little itchy.
Unconsciously, he stretched out his hand to stop him: "Yan Xi, you see we haven't had sex for a long time, otherwise..."
Princess Ancheng curled her lips, and then slowly avoided his arm: "I have been in poor health since giving birth that day. I'm afraid I can't accompany the Marquis anymore."
Seeing Shen Wanqi staring at her, she chuckled and said, "How about I call two clean maids to serve the Marquis."
Shen Wanqi never expected that she would say such a thing. He was stunned and unresponsive. After a moment, he pretended to be angry and said: "You actually asked me to find the maid?"
He looked at Princess Ancheng in disbelief: "Don't you know who my husband is?"
"How could I break our wedding vows!" The anger and hurt in his eyes didn't seem fake.
"I will not touch anyone except you, madam!" After saying these words, Shen Wanqi slammed the door with a cold face.
After watching the figure outside the door disappear completely, Princess Ancheng returned to her usual expression. She felt sick when she thought of what Shen Wanqi said before leaving.
He keeps one in the house and hides the other outside. How can he have the face to say such affectionate words?
Early the next morning, Princess Ancheng ordered people to carry back to the courtyard the full moon gift that the Emperor, Queen Mother and several princes had sent to Shen Zhizhi yesterday.
Shen Zhizhi looked at the boxes of congratulatory gifts wrapped in red silk and tugged at the lapel of Princess Ancheng's clothes.
[Mom, Zhizhi wants to see the gift! 】
Princess Ancheng smiled and shook her little hand. She ordered Muchun to choose a small golden lock and put it in her hand to play with.
Shen Zhizhi took the golden lock and immediately handed it to Princess Ancheng.
Muchun on the side smiled: "Little princess, do you want to wear it?"
Shen Zhizhi's little head nodded immediately.
Muchun's heart was melted by Shen Zhizhi's cuteness. After receiving the permission, he immediately took the golden lock and gave it to Shen Zhizhi to wear around his neck.
Shen Zhizhi patted the golden lock on her chest, her eyes sparkling.
【Money~】
Princess Ancheng couldn't help but laugh. She originally thought Zhizhi was curious about those gadgets, but she didn't expect that this little guy actually recognized the money.
Not long after the eldest princess Ancheng ordered people to bring the gifts back, Mrs. Shen sent her personal grandmother Zhang to call the eldest princess Ancheng over and said she wanted to discuss the gift.
Princess Ancheng hugged Shen Zhizhi, who was looking at Jinsuo and laughing, and told Aunt Zhang with guilt that she was really sorry. She couldn't get away, and the child kept crying and making trouble. If there was something urgent, Even if the old lady needs to come personally.
Nanny Zhang looked at Shen Zhizhi who was smiling brightly in her arms with wide eyes. Isn't this called crying all the time? ? ?
Why did Mrs. Shen, who usually told Mrs. Shen the truth and was so respectful, start telling lies?
Are you talking so confidently? !
Grandma Zhang returned to the front yard with a magical look on her face and recounted the scene she saw exactly as it was.
Mrs. Shen immediately slammed the table angrily and led Shen Wanqi, Nanny Zhang and several maids towards the courtyard where Princess Ancheng lived.
When the three of them arrived, Princess Ancheng was holding Shen Zhizhi and basking in the sun in the courtyard. She glanced at Mrs. Shen who was standing in the front, and only moved her mouth to call her grandmother, but made no other movements.
When Mrs. Shen saw that she was still sitting even though she saw her, her face suddenly turned black and she hit the ground heavily with her cane in displeasure.
Although the Taizu of this dynasty changed the old system when he founded the country and abolished the etiquette of the princess kneeling down to worship her parents-in-law after getting married, Princess Ancheng has always bowed respectfully and respectfully to Mrs. Shen every time she saw her since she married into the Marquis' Mansion. Lost her face.
Now she is exercising the rights she should have, but it makes Mrs. Shen extremely unhappy.
However, due to her identity as the eldest princess of Ancheng, she could not directly question her. She held her breath in her chest and said with a strange tone: "Isn't it that the child is crying a lot? Why am I quite happy to see her?"
Princess Ancheng slowly fed Shen Zhizhi a spoonful of water, and then said, "What do you think? It's not because my granddaughter-in-law has been holding her, otherwise she would have started crying long ago."
Shen Wanqi couldn't see her talking to her grandmother like this, and frowned: "As long as the child has cried enough, you are going to spoil her!"
Princess Ancheng heard a trace of ridicule on her lips, but she quickly covered it up.
She looked up at Shen Wanqi and said in disbelief: "Master Hou, Zhizhi is your own flesh and blood, how could you say such cold-blooded words..."
