One touch and one silence

so!

The palace is a scary place.

They are all extremely smart people and have experienced many battles on the battlefield. Just think about it, who can be smarter than them!

It also illustrates one thing: when you want to gain some benefits from others, you must think clearly about what price you can pay.

It all stems from greed.

Nanzhi can see it more clearly.

After eating, the prince asked Nanzhi again, "Xiaoqi, what do you think? Do you want to go?"

"Don't be afraid of your face. When we get there, go slowly. When we get there, we'll stay in the house for a few more days until the redness on our faces subsides, then we can go out and play."

"Is it fun there?" Nanzhi was somewhat tempted by what the prince said. She wanted to know if there was anything else inside that could attract her more.

"Of course, there will be singing and dancing, hunting, and many young ladies and noblemen from aristocratic families. You can get to know them and make more friends."

The prince is always thinking about Nanzhi, hoping that she can have her own best friend.

If she always stays in the Taoist temple for a long time, no one will know who she is, and people may even question and dislike Xiao Qi.

If she had one or two good friends, they could at least say a few good words for her.

When Nanzhi heard the prince say this, she realized that he wanted to take this opportunity to introduce her to those ministers, nobles, and young ladies from aristocratic families so that they could get to know her.

In fact, Nanzhi never cared about these things, but she didn't want to let the prince down.

After considering it for a moment, he agreed.

On the first day that the prince and his companions set out on their journey, Xue Yan received news from below.

He looked at the message in his hand, the corners of his mouth curved up, and he murmured: "Are we going to meet again?"

He didn't believe it this time, he must make his disguise better than last time.

"Go find out which route they take to get to the palace."

After the man finished speaking, he played with a strand of hair in his hand with a playful expression.

Xue Yan was looking forward to meeting the Seventh Prince again.

However, the Seventh Prince was in the carriage, regretting his decision countless times.

Because from the moment she got on the carriage, the road was bumpy, and coupled with her injuries, it was really painful.

Shuhua could only cover the carriage with soft clothes so that Nanzhi could lie more comfortably.

The journey was bumpy, but Nanzhi gradually got used to it.

It was not until they were about to reach the palace that Nanzhi was finally liberated.

The swelling on her face had gone down, except for some bruises and purple spots, and her panda eyes had also faded a lot.

So whenever she got off the carriage, she would put on her sash and never let it go.

Compared to Nanzhi's happiness, there are people who are happier than her and are more looking forward to meeting her. They have even spread out their fishing nets and are waiting for her.

Nanzhi took advantage of the night and entered her own palace. As soon as she entered, she was stunned by the decoration inside.

Under the light, the paint on the pillars shines golden.

She wanted to touch it to see if it was made of gold, but there were so many people around her and she felt she couldn't appear too ignorant, mainly because she wanted to touch the faucet on the pillar.

For the first time, Nanzhi discovered that the place he lived in was magnificent and golden. The items on the shelves all looked very expensive and revealed their nobleness. Looking at these, Nanzhi felt deeply moved. It was true that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. His palace was definitely a manifestation of his status. Compared with the prince's palace in the imperial palace, there was simply a world of difference!

Nanzhi looked around and finally returned to the pillar. He pointed at the dragon head and asked, "Master Liuyue, this pillar is placed here. Is it a place for me to live?"

It’s no wonder she was suspicious, this thing clearly represents an identity trait.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. This is normal among legitimate children. It symbolizes their legitimate status. Your Highness has nothing to worry about." Liu Yue explained to Nanzhi that although the Da Ling Dynasty did not allow anyone other than the emperor to carve exquisite carvings of dragons and phoenixes, it was allowed for His Majesty's legitimate children. They represented the legitimate sons and daughters of dragons and phoenixes, and were also a symbol of status.

Although the others are also princes and princesses, their status is still far inferior to that of the legitimate children.

"Are you sure?" Nanzhi was a little unbelievable.

"If your Highness doesn't believe me, Liu Yue can take you to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later."

Nanzhi thought that the prince must be very busy since he had been delayed for such a long time because of her, so she decided not to disturb him. She stayed in the room and took care of the two big dark circles under her eyes.

The next morning, before Nanzhi woke up, she heard the sounds of calligraphy and painting at the door.

"In reply to Her Royal Highness, our Seventh Prince has not yet woken up. Please wait a moment. I will go and report to Her Royal Highness." Shuhua had a particularly good feeling towards Princess Nan Shu, who was born to the same mother as the Crown Prince. Thinking that her master had become the legitimate son and that the princess had made a lot of efforts, she was filled with gratitude.

If it were someone else, Shuhua would not go in and disturb his master's sleep.

"No need. It's also my fault. I came too early. Xiaoqi must be very tired after the long journey. Let her sleep more. I will come back later." Nan Shu thought that she came too early and forgot that Xiaoqi was injured. She felt a little embarrassed.

"Your servant respectfully bids farewell to Her Royal Highness the Princess!" Shuhua bowed to the departing princess with tears of gratitude.

"Who is coming here for calligraphy and painting?"

Nanzhi asked, yawning.

When Shuhua heard his master's question, he walked in happily and gave Shuyue a wink before entering.

"Master, the princess came to see you just now. Seeing that you were still asleep, she left and told me to come back to see you later."

Shuhua told Nanzhi what had just happened.

Nanzhi was still dizzy and hadn't come to her senses yet. After hearing what Shuhua said, Nanzhi immediately woke up.

I feel much more clear-headed now. Oh my god! My elder sister in this body is here, but I am still sleeping in. I am screwed.

"Well, according to the rules, this prince must go and pay respects to the Queen Mother today!"

"And I have to thank my mother for the gift she gave me earlier!"

Nanzhi was about to get up in a hurry to put on her shoes and clothes, but was stopped by Shuhua.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. After you fell asleep yesterday, the Queen Mother told you to recover from your injuries first and not to go and pay respects. I guess the Crown Prince must have said something to the Queen Mother."

Actually, it is not like that. This time, the calligraphy and painting really wronged the prince.

As early as when the prince heard that Xiaoqi was coming, he went to greet the queen and told her about the embarrassing incident of Xiaoqi being beaten. That's why the queen sent her nanny to tell her about this incident on the first day Nanzhi came.

Nanzhi's hurried hands and feet suddenly stopped, and she once again admired the Queen's meticulousness in her work.

It also made her feel that the things she had seen in TV dramas before had some different feelings.

According to the TV shows I watched, if you don't respect your stepmother, you will be overwhelmed by the small shoes she puts on you, and you won't even know how you died.
