Shen Yuning pondered for a while and said, "Is it Concubine Chan's birthday banquet tomorrow?"

She also received the post this morning.

Lin You nodded.

"Then you go back first. I will go to the palace tomorrow. I will stay in the palace for a while on the pretext of accompanying my mother, and then..."

Shen Yuning said this in Lin You's ear.

After listening, Lin You gave her a thumbs up. As they chatted, they actually talked about their future life. Shen Yuning couldn't help but feel full of longing for the future.

About an hour later, the eldest princess and Lin You came out of the yard, talking and laughing.

Shen Wen was kneeling outside the door, his feet were numb and his knees were in great pain. It was a scorching hot day, and he was surrounded by the sound of people talking. He was about to faint.

In a trance, he saw Shen Yuning and Lin You coming out, and he finally opened his eyes with great effort, "Ning'er."

In front of outsiders, he still had to pretend that he deeply loved Shen Yuning.

Shen Yuning also returned to her previous gentle and loving attitude and went forward to help him up.

Lin You glanced at Shen Wen, "I came here today because of the order of the Queen Mother and the Emperor to let the Princess enter the palace tomorrow. I hope the Prince Consort will not play any more tricks."

Upon hearing this, Shen Wen hurriedly bowed and said, "I obey your order."

Lin You felt disgusted when he looked at this person for one more second, so he just walked away in a huff.

The people on the street were still talking about it, wondering what Shen Wen had done to deserve such punishment and warning from the Imperial Concubine.

Shen Wen laughed dryly as he watched Lin You's carriage go away. Then he entered the Prince's Mansion. As soon as the door closed, Shen Wen grabbed Shen Yuning's wrist fiercely. "What did you say to the imperial concubine?"

"Did you tell her about that?"

His face was full of cruelty.

Although he had warned Shen Yuning, there was no guarantee that she would not listen.

Shen Yuning felt pain from his strangling hand, but she still smiled, "Wen Lang, husband and wife are one body, we prosper together and suffer together, how could I let other people know about this scandal."

Looking at the bitter smile of the woman in front of him, Shen Wen couldn't help but feel distressed. "Sorry Ning'er, I was reckless just now."

He immediately ordered someone to bring ointment and help Shen Yuning apply the ointment. After her emotions stabilized, he asked cautiously, "Ning'er, about the child..."

Shen Yuning's eyes were slightly drooping, but when she raised them again, they had become gentle, "Can I think about it for a few more days?"

"Okay, think about it for a few days, think about our lovely children, and think about our happy future, and you will be able to let it go."

Seeing her attitude soften, Shen Wen felt there was a chance, so he agreed with a smile on his face.

The pain in my numb and painful legs is gone.

That night, Shen Wen slept very soundly, but Shen Yuning could not fall asleep for a long time.

The next day, she looked at her haggard self in the bronze mirror. Fearing that the empress dowager would see her and worry about her if she entered the palace, she asked her maid to put heavy makeup on her.

Everyone knew that Concubine Chan was the niece of the Empress Dowager and was deeply loved by her. She was also the eldest daughter that the Duke's Mansion cherished most in their hearts. After receiving the invitation, no one refused.

Among these people, there was Lin Xue.

Lian didn't want to go with Lin Xue, but thinking that she would be able to see Lin You when she entered the palace, she had to go with Lin Xue with a stern face. However, Lian did not let Lin Xue ride in the same carriage with her, but let her sit in the back one.

Lin Xue pursed her lips. It was obvious that Lian was trying to embarrass her.

Halfway through the journey, Lian's carriage collided with another one's carriage.

Hearing the quarrel in front, Lin Xue naturally wanted to take the opportunity to show off.

When she walked to the front, she saw the guards around Shen Xian arguing with Lian's coachman.

One accused the other of driving too fast, and the other accused him of not paying attention to the road.

Lin Xue walked to the middle and whispered in the direction of Shen Xian's carriage, "Is it Prince Xian?"

Not long after he finished speaking, Shen Xian's voice was heard from the carriage, "Since you know me, why don't you make way for me?"

The voice was very indifferent, which made Lin Xue confused.

Could it be that Brother Xian didn’t recognize her voice?

Confused, Lin Xue walked to the window and lowered her voice slightly, "Brother Xian, it's me."

"Xue'er."

When there are many people around, Lin Xue usually follows the rules and calls Shen Xian Prince Xian, but in private she calls him Brother Xian.

Although, she didn't lower her voice much, and everyone around could hear it.

Everyone was wondering how Lin Xue could have such a good relationship with Prince Xian, when they heard a cold voice coming from the carriage again, "Haha, young lady, you are really bold. When did this prince have a sister?"

Lin Xue was shocked when she heard this, and the people around her couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

"Haha, I really thought that Prince Xian had recognized a sister, but I didn't expect it to be nonsense. This girl is really shameless."

"I don't know which girl she is."

"Hey, don't you recognize this girl? She's the one from the General Protector's Mansion, a fake lady."

"Hiss, so it's this guy, haha, no wonder, this kind of shamelessness doesn't look like someone from the General's Mansion."

The discussions around her ears became more and more unpleasant, and Lin Xue's face turned green.

At this time, Lian also got off the carriage, bowed to Shen Xian, said a few words of apology, and then drove her own carriage aside to make way for Shen Xian.

Shen Xian didn't care too much about it.

He also had to rush to the Prince's Mansion to pick up the eldest princess. This was what Lin You told him yesterday. He said that he was afraid that the Prince would use some tricks to prevent Shen Yuning from entering the palace, so he asked him to go and pick her up.

Originally he could have chosen not to listen, but he wanted to meet Lin You. His intuition told him that this banquet would definitely be exciting.

When the princess saw Shen Xian, she was very surprised. She smiled and said, "It's on the way, so I came here to be with my niece."

Shen Wen frowned. Shen Xian's residence was not at all on his way.

Shen Yuning bowed and got into his carriage.

In fact, after thinking about it for a while, Shen Yuning knew why Shen Xian came here.

At that time, in Concubine Chan's palace, all the palace maids were preparing in an orderly manner.

She wanted to make a big fuss to tell everyone that she was still the favored Concubine Chan, so that people would not look down on her.

The Queen Mother naturally knew what she was thinking, but she did not stop her. She wanted to see what Concubine Chan would do. Only if she did it could she send her back to the Duke's Mansion.

Of course, if you don't do it, everything will be fine.

This was a result she was happy to see.

"Her Majesty, the Princess and Prince Xian are here."

The Queen Mother was lying on the couch taking a nap when she heard Nanny Su's happy words. Her heavy eyelids instantly cleared up. "Quick, help me up."

When the Queen Mother saw the eldest princess coming in, her eyes suddenly turned red. "Ning'er, I heard that you..."

She stopped talking when she noticed Prince Xian was beside her.

Seeing that the two had something to say, Shen Xian immediately found an excuse to leave.

His mission was originally just to send Shen Yuning to Shouren Palace.

Now, it’s time for him to go find Concubine You and eat some melons!
