After retiring, I saved the crazy prince

Chapter 17 The Crown Princess

"The prince will come to visit me later, and I will find an opportunity for you to be alone with the prince. Do you know what to do?"

Shen Su'e often went to the palace to visit the empress, just to find opportunities to meet the prince. The prince was unparalleled in beauty, tall and graceful, with a bright wind and a moon, she had long since secretly agreed.Knowing that her aunt intends to let her enter the Eastern Palace as the crown princess, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night.

She blushed and nodded silently.

At this moment, the eunuch on duty outside the hall said loudly: "His Royal Highness is here—"

Empress Shen hinted at Shen Su'e with a smile, and then said: "Quickly invite Xuan'er to come in."

Shen Su'e looked outside the hall excitedly, and saw Wei Xuan with his hands behind his back, stepping into the hall in a white robe. In her heart, her heart was bumping like a deer, and her breathing became short of breath.

She hurriedly got up and made a big salute: "My daughter, Su'e, has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wei Xuan smiled and nodded to signal her to get up: "You don't have to be polite, cousin."

Then he eagerly walked to Empress Shen's bed, and said to Weiyang: "Thank you, Auntie Weiyang, come here and press the queen mother alone."

Wei Young retreated to the side, and sincerely praised Wei Xuan: "Your Highness is really filial to your empress, and you do everything yourself."

"Taking care of the queen mother is the filial piety that the son and minister should do. I ask the queen mother to forgive me. The son was delayed by some things just now. It is still a step late. Can you ask the imperial doctor to take care of the mother?"

Empress Shen smiled and said: "It's just an old problem. The medicines prescribed by the imperial physician are just nourishing soups and medicines. They are nothing more than ginseng Yangrong pills. They are useless to my illness. Xuan'er is diligent in government affairs and can contribute The emperor shared the burden, and the empress mother was also very pleased."

"It's my son's incompetence. Yesterday, my son went to Lanji Temple to ask for medicine for my mother. Master Qing Kong gave me a prescription. After my son found the last medicine, I gave it to my mother to try."

"You just love to toss. It's just a waste of effort."

"Kerchen still doesn't want to give up."

Wei Young also persuaded from the side: "Your Majesty still doesn't know His Highness's temperament, His Highness is the most filial to Your Majesty."

Empress Shen looked at Shen Su'e who was silent at the side, her burning eyes never moved away from Wei Xuan for a moment.

"By the way, Su'e also went to Lanji Temple yesterday, did you see Xuan'er?"

Shen Su'e shook her head. She searched the huge Lanji Temple for half a day according to the path pointed out by Eunuch Qin, but she didn't see Wei Xuan at all.

Empress Shen was very suspicious, she was actually testing Wei Xuan in her words.

If it wasn't for him deliberately concealing his whereabouts and avoiding Shen Su'e, why would she need to search for most of the day in Lanji Temple.

Empress Shen's complexion changed slightly, showing some dissatisfaction with Wei Xuan.

After all, it is not the biological mother and child, the words between Wei Xuan and Empress Shen are extremely polite, and Wei Xuan is even more cautious when speaking, and there is no sense of intimacy between mother and child.

Shen Su'e quickly explained for Wei Xuan: "It was Su'e who made a mistake. Su'e didn't know the way and entered another Zen room by mistake. Later, I found out that His Highness and Master Qingkong were playing chess next door, so I regret to miss it."

Wei Xuan still had a gentle smile on his face, "Is it Gu Ruo, who knows that my cousin has also gone to Lanji Temple, so I should send someone to pick her up."

It can be said that Wei Xuan didn't even have the airs of a prince. When he learned that Shen Su'e inquired about his whereabouts, he quietly followed him. Not only did he not get angry, he also accompanied her.

Shen Su'e blushed with embarrassment, waved her hands repeatedly, and even stammered, "It's not His Highness's fault...it's my fault, how dare I blame His Highness."

He looked at Empress Shen with pleading eyes, and begged Empress Shen not to blame the prince for this.

Empress Shen looked at Wei Young behind her, and said with a smile: "Look at these two children, how can they take all the faults on themselves? But seeing that they are so harmonious, I will definitely be able to help each other and walk hand in hand in the future. Gong was also relieved.

Hearing this sentence, although Wei Xuan's expression did not change, the smile in his eyes became a little colder.

Empress Shen looked at Wei Xuan again, and said with a smile: "Xuan'er is not young anymore, your fourth brother Liang Wang has already married three side concubines, and the youngest son is three years old, you should also have a crown princess, Several Liangdi and ladies are serving in the Eastern Palace."

Empress Shen looked at Shen Su'e with a smile again, "San Niang likes you, you grew up together, you know the basics, what does Xuan'er think of Su'e?"

Shen Su'e's face was flushed, she pinched the handkerchief nervously, and said coquettishly, "Auntie..."

Wei Xuan had long expected that today would come. The smile on his face remained unchanged, and he got up and bowed respectfully, "But the queen mother will make the decision."

Empress Shen also knew that Wei Xuan would definitely agree, she didn't want to force him in this way, but she heard that Concubine Liu Shu and Li Zhaoyi had secretly moved, and they both wanted to force their own people into the East Palace.

In particular, the position of the princess should not fall into the hands of others.

Things change later, Shen Su'e often enters the palace, but the prince has not expressed his attitude for a long time, Queen Shen can't wait, she has to force him again.

Fortunately, Wei Xuan was very sensible and never dared to go against her wishes, and today he readily agreed to marry Shen Su'e.

As long as the position of crown princess belongs to the Shen family, the position of empress will also belong to the Shen family in the future, and the status and glory of the Shen family can be preserved in the future.

Shen Su'e was so happy that she stayed where she was, unable to hold back the corners of her lips that rose all the time.

"Bengong has had a headache for a whole day, and I don't have much appetite. After Xuan'er presses for Bengong, he feels much better. Today, Xuan'er and Su'e are both here, so why don't you go with Bengong for some food?"

Wei Xuan apologized with a smile, "It's all my son's negligence, I should spend more time with my mother."

"You are busy with government affairs, you should share more burdens for your father, and you don't have to accompany me every day, but Sanniang will enter the East Palace in the future, so you should spend more time with me."

Shen Su'e's mother glanced at Wei Xuan, he still had that gentle and unchanging smile, she couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

She just felt dazzled by the joy of happiness, feeling dizzy, and said after a long time: "San Niang comes every day, so don't be annoyed by aunt."

Served on the table is an old duck soup, steamed shrimp with hibiscus and a bowl of shredded chicken porridge, peach blossom crisp and red bean cake.

Wei Xuan loves sweet food, so Shen Su'e specifically asked about his preferences. These two pastries and duck soup were made by Shen Sanniang herself, and they were also made according to his preferences.

She used a silver bag to hold a piece of red bean cake for Wei Xuan, blushing and said: "Your Highness, please have a taste of this red bean cake."

"Thank you cousin."

But he just took a bite and put it down. He didn't seem to like eating the pastries she made.

Shen Su'e looked at the red bean cake that was getting colder, and felt a little depressed. Wei Xuan was always polite and polite to her, with a consistent smile on his face, without any emotional ups and downs, which always made her feel that there was a barrier between them. I can't even feel half of his love.

But why did he agree to marry her as his concubine?In particular, there is always a sense of distance from him, which makes her unable to approach him, let alone touch him.

Empress Shen saw it, put down her silver bag, and smiled at Shen Su'e: "I heard that Sanniang is good at dancing, and Xuan'er's piano skills are also excellent. This hall is strangely deserted. Sanniang may dance for this palace to see." look?"

Empress Shen has encouragement in her eyes. Although she has a way to marry her into the East Palace, she still has to rely on herself in the future. She can see that Wei Xuan's attitude towards Shen Su'e is neither salty nor light It showed that he wasn't really bothered.

By helping Shen Sanniang, she was helping her past self, who had no love and no heirs, and spent sleepless nights and years in this lonely deep palace.

Shen Su'e said blissfully, "Sanniang go change clothes first."

Wei Young took Shen Su'e down to change clothes. Empress Shen had already prepared for her, and prepared a red silk dress that was bright enough for her, but the dress was so thin that it was almost transparent, and even two slender legs and arms could be vaguely seen.

It's a pity that Shen Su'e's figure is really thin and flat, far from showing the kind of temptation that Queen Shen wanted.
