Chapter 126 Imperial Power and the Rivers and Lakes (Ⅱ)
"I won't tell... I will keep the secret..." Shen Ruyi lowered her head and tightly clenched her veil, her voice trembling slightly, "If I make peace with His Highness, no matter what happens What kind of rumors are there, after all, it will be detrimental to His Highness, on the side of the emperor, His Highness must not be so easy to deal with, right?"

"Can……"

"Your Highness, don't worry about me." Shen Ruyi stood up and looked at Zhu Sang firmly, "As long as I can help His Highness, I am willing to do anything."

At this time, Zhusang deeply felt like a "scumbag", "I have wronged you."

"If we are not aggrieved, we can't be husband and wife, we can still be sisters..." Although Shen Ruyi was smiling, her eye circles were red. She turned her head, not wanting Zhusang to see her expression, "Okay, it's getting late. Now, Your Highness, please rest soon."

"Um……"

Early the next morning, Zhusang will take Shen Ruyi to visit the emperor and the queen. The queen has nothing to do, so Zhusang will bear her name in her name, and she is considered a legitimate daughter. The relationship between the two is just that of mother and son on the surface, but in fact they are both. They were wary of each other. The queen was already over forty. Women in ancient times aged faster. In addition, she had suffered two miscarriages, which had damaged her roots. It was impossible for her to have another child. Logically speaking, she should fight the bamboo with all her strength. Sang is good, he will be able to enjoy the blessings when she succeeds in ascending the throne. This is why the emperor recorded Zhu Sang in her name and became his honored legitimate son.

But the bad thing is that this queen has never been a responsible queen. Her second child was obtained by adultery with a guard. During a tryst, she happened to be bumped into by Zhu Sang who had just returned to the palace at that time. Zhu Sang She was taken aback and ran away. Although she never mentioned it to anyone, the queen always suspected that she would reveal her secrets, so she was wary of her, and even thought about getting rid of her, but no matter what. Zhu Sang is the only prince in name, and the emperor sent his own secret guards to protect her. The queen couldn't find a chance to attack her, so she could only pretend to be a mother and child.

Zhu Sang was already eight years old when she returned to the palace. She followed her mother to walk the rivers and lakes. Naturally, she did not understand everything. She knew that once she told the truth, the queen would have countless reasons to escape. After all, she was just a child. It's not impossible, after that, the queen will definitely find someone to get rid of herself, so it's best to pretend that she doesn't know anything.

At this moment, the emperor came down to the queen's palace, and Zhu Sang brought Shen Ruyi to offer tea. The emperor looked at the two of them, and he was relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual in Shen Ruyi's expression, "You guys The newlyweds, Sang'er, don't be busy with government affairs these two days, and spend more time with the Crown Princess."

"Yes, thank you, Father, for your kindness."

The queen also pretended to send two blessings, "The most important thing for a husband and wife to get along is mutual trust, mutual understanding, and mutual tolerance. Sonny is still young. Now that he has just been crowned prince, he married you. Your Majesty is so kind to you. You two have been together for a few days, but in the future, Sonny will be busy with government affairs and will inevitably neglect you, so you must know how to deal with yourself and not feel resentful."

"Yes, this concubine always remembers my mother's teachings."

Immediately afterwards, there was a lot of mutual politeness, and when the chat was over, it was actually lunch time, "Sang'er and Ruyi will stay and eat before leaving."

Facing the queen's persuasion, Zhusang decisively chose to refuse.

"No, I appreciate the empress's kindness. It's just that Ruyi didn't eat much this morning. She should be hungry at this time. If she eats in the empress's palace, she will inevitably be cautious and won't be able to eat much. Why don't you come back to your own palace?" Comfortable, presumably the empress can understand, right?"

What else can the queen say?Wouldn't it appear that he was too tough if he forced her to stay? "Of course the queen mother will not force her to stay."

"Thank you very much, Queen Mother, Father, Queen, and I will take my leave."

Zhu Sang dragged Shen Ruyi back to the East Palace, and then heaved a sigh of relief, and ordered the servants to prepare meals according to Shen Ruyi's preferences.

Shen Ruyi glanced at her secretly, "Your Highness seems...how wary of the Queen?"

"Well," after all, she is already the princess, Zhu Sang simply told her all the things of the past and the mutual wariness these years, "I will let Ah Chen follow you, if I am not here in the future, the queen will call you to see me alone , you try to find an excuse to evade it, if you really can't evade it, you remember to ask Ah Chen to find me, Ah Chen is my personal bodyguard, he grew up with me since he was a child, he is the only person I can trust."

"No!" Shen Ruyi frowned, "If Achen's guard follows me, what will happen to His Highness's safety?"

"You don't have to worry about this, there are royal father's hidden guards following, but they are the royal father's people, and they are only responsible for protecting me, not taking orders from me."

"So it's like this..." Shen Ruyi finally felt relieved.

After a while, the imperial dining room brought over the food. The right minister was born in the south of the Yangtze River, and even Shen Ruyi liked the food in the south. Zhu Sang is not picky about food, so the meal was a pleasure.

The emperor let Zhusang take leave, but she really had no plans, "Ruyi, is there anything you want to do?"

"What do you want to do?" Shen Ruyi tilted her head and thought for a while, "As long as I can stay with His Highness, I am very happy, and I don't want anything else."

"..." Zhusang felt deeply that he had sinned deeply, "Can you play the piano?"

"This... won't..." Shen Ruyi lowered her head in shame.

It is reasonable for a young lady from a rich family to be proficient in everything, or not, but Shen Ruyi is not favored at home, and no one expects her to climb high, so she is not good at anything except reading and writing. , I was dazzled by the joy of marrying my sweetheart before, but now thinking about it, I feel a little inferior.

"Then let me teach you, anyway, idle is idle~"

"This... Your Highness..."

Zhu Sang didn't wait for her refusal to come out, and yelled out the door, "Achen! Go find me a piano!"

The person outside the door quickly responded "Yes", and then left. After a while, a handful was brought over. Even the most common things in the palace are treasures. Paulownia for the surface and catalpa for the surface. The bottom is made of sheep intestines, and two small characters are engraved on the edge. However, it is so old that it is difficult to see what is written.

Zhu Sang started to teach from the most basic. The two of them were too close, and Shen Ruyi was a little cautious. Zhu Sang was always missing a string at such a time, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The two of them taught hand in hand for an entire afternoon until the sun set and night fell. After dinner, Shen Ruyi was asked to rest first, while he changed into night clothes and left the palace in the dark. The destination—— —Xianwangfu.
