Chapter 4

When the queen heard this, she was instantly dissatisfied.

Although her son was a prince, he couldn't do without her and his mother's family to manage the courtiers and say good things in front of the emperor, so he had to spend a lot of money. She was really tight on money.

The Chen family is as wealthy as the country, and the whereabouts of Shen Chenbi's mother are unknown, and all the assets fall on Shen Chenbi. Yet she is so ignorant of the rules that at this critical moment, she doesn't contribute much money or treasures to her, but instead takes a worthless incense. Prevaricate yourself!
If there weren't so many people present, the queen would have wanted to tear the brocade bag to pieces in public. A soft and friendly smile appeared on her face and she said:

"Xu'er is really serious about it! Speaking of soothing the mind and sleeping pillows, I heard that a one-foot-large luminous pearl appeared in Eastern Qin recently. I heard that this pearl has a natural fragrance and has the same effect. It is said to be miraculous in various countries. I Miya couldn’t help but be curious about this for a while.”

Everyone heard that the Queen loved this bead. If they could get this bead and present it to the Queen, they would surely please her.

Shen Chenbi smiled coldly in his heart.

The Chen family has a huge industrial chain in the six surrounding countries, including the Eastern Qin Kingdom. Getting a piece of it is just a matter of her words.

In the past, her parents would send her some delicacies, goodies, pearls and jade to the palace because she often came to the palace, and they would also give some to the queen. Therefore, the queen developed the habit of politely asking for gifts from her.

Shen Chenbi pretended not to hear her hint and said with a smile on his face, "It's fine if the queen likes it, but as far as I'm concerned, what is fragrant or not fragrant is far away in the Eastern Qin Kingdom and we can't smell it. It's better to just follow others." Having said that, I actually think it’s not as fragrant as melons and fruits.”

After hearing this, the queen felt a surge of rage in her heart, and even the eyes looking at her became subtle.

But so what?Shen Chenbi didn't care at all.

She continued: "Speaking of fruits and melons, now the Chen family's shops are in the hands of my daughter, but my daughter really doesn't know how to run them, so I have negotiated with others to transfer all the melon and fruit pastry shops. Queen, in the future I’m afraid I won’t be able to supply it at home.”

Normally, winter fruits are not available in summer, nor in winter. However, due to the regional temperature differences in various countries, the Chen family has been doing business in various countries, and this problem has been perfectly solved.

The queen is used to enjoying things, but she has to be removed?He also directly negotiated with people to transfer the shop, leaving no room for error.

"It's really hard for you, kid."

The queen's tone was still gentle, but her face was almost unbearable.

She said a few more words for the occasion, and then, in order not to lose her composure, she endured her anger and left.

In order to please the queen, Shen Sixian spent all his money to offer a precious southern pearl, but the queen didn't even look at it from beginning to end!
Shen Chenbi gave a tattered sachet as a gift, but the queen laughed and praised Shen Sixian. She was so angry that she suddenly looked at her before leaving.

There was a viciousness in those soft eyes that only she could understand.

Shen Sixian tightened the handkerchief nervously and accompanied Shen Chenbi out of Ninghua Palace, deliberately guiding her towards the Imperial Garden.

"Sister, there is the Imperial Garden ahead."

There was a hint of bad excitement in Shen Sixian's soft voice.

In the plan of the queen and the prince, she wanted to lure Shen Chenbi to the lotus pond in the imperial garden, pretend to faint, and knock Shen Chenbi into the water. The prince came to rescue the beauty heroically, ruining Shen Chenbi's reputation.

Then came the wedding of the two. The prince used the power of the Duke's Palace and the wealth of the Chen family to ascend to the throne. He promised himself... that he would treat himself well!
Shen Chenbi glanced sideways at her and was in a particularly good mood. "I have been here many times before, but every time I passed by in a hurry and had no chance to appreciate it. I want to take a good look tonight."

Shen Sixian was overjoyed and thought he was going to have a good deal with her, but unexpectedly it was so effortless!
She couldn't bear to be excited and accompanied Shen Chenbi to enjoy the flowers. When Shen Chenbi got tired from walking, she would naturally go to the lotus pond to rest.

Shen Sixian waited patiently, but who knew that the wait would last only an hour.

Shen Chenbi was so interested in the delicate flowers that she insisted on looking at every flower in the imperial garden several times. She followed them back and forth more than a dozen times.She had only been punished to kneel for three hours. Even after three days, her legs were still in unbearable pain, especially her knees, which were black and blue. Taking a step was like being hit by a hammer.

At the end of the walk, her legs were sore that she couldn't stop trembling even when she stood. She couldn't bear it anymore and gritted her teeth and said: "Sister, sister really can't walk anymore. Let's go to the lotus pond to have a rest!"

Shen Sixian was on the verge of collapse, and his words were vibrating.

Shen Chenbi glanced at her and said, "Why are you so useless? You can't stop walking after just a few steps. It's really disappointing!"

Shen Sixian suffered a lot and was scolded by her. His face turned pale with anger and his lips trembled.

She stared closely at Shen Chenbi's back. When she came to a stop on the big stone beside the lotus pond, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Sister, Xian'er's head is so dizzy, I can't stand anymore!"

While exclaiming loudly, he bumped into it.

Shen Chenbi didn't even look back, he just dodged sideways and easily avoided her impact.

Seeing that Shen Sixian was in the wrong position, she made up for it.

Shen Sixian didn't expect this. She fell into the water with a "plop", and the water choked her nose in an instant.

Shen Chenbi watched her splashing in the water with cold eyes and smiled happily.

She had already failed here once in her previous life, how could she let them succeed this time?
"Good sister, I will ask someone to rescue you right now." Shen Chenbi said.

Jun Chenmu and the palace maids and eunuchs were preparing to go nearby, and the queen deliberately guided her ladies and ladies to come here to enjoy the flowers.

Shen Chenbi hid behind a rockery aside and shouted loudly, "The lady from the Duke's Mansion has fallen into the water. Come and save her!"

Jun Chenmu couldn't wait any longer. When he heard the cry for help, he ran to the lotus pond as soon as possible. He took off his robe, shoes and socks with joy, jumped up passionately, and plunged into the lotus pond.

"Xu'er, don't be afraid, I'm here!"

The queen arrived belatedly with everyone, and saw a woman in Jun Chenmu's arms, and the two were hugging each other wetly.

The woman's bun was scattered, and her messy hair stuck to her face, making it difficult to see her face, but she recognized at a glance that the skirt on the other person was not Shen Chenbi.

The queen was furious, "Prince, let go of your hand!"

Jun Chenmu was startled by the Queen's stern voice and raised his head in confusion, only to see Shen Chenbi calmly walking out among the ladies beside the Queen.

"Why are you here?"

Jun Chenmu's expression changed. Did Shen Chenbi fall into the water?Who is that person who fell into the water?

He hurriedly pushed the hair away from the face of the woman in his arms, but when he saw Shen Sixian's familiar face, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and the blood in his body froze.
