Chapter 398 White Lotus Female Supporting Character VS Foolish Prince (12)
Hongxia talked about the things happening in Prince Guang's Mansion.
The Prince Guang's palace was crowded with people early in the morning. Most of the officials in the capital attended the banquet, and those who didn't have any gifts also sent gifts.
Except for the three princes and the crown prince, all the other princes also went.
Shen Zhaowan listened and was glad that she listened to Jiang Chengxuan, otherwise she didn't know how much trouble she would get into if she went there.
The eldest prince's biological mother has a low status, and the rest of the court officials secretly take sides, either supporting the legitimate heir or trying to guess the emperor's favor. The fifth prince has quite a few supporters, and even more after the crown prince was deposed.
It is clear that so many people came to visit just to open a government office.
Listening to the description, Shen Zhaowan even felt that it was more grand than her wedding with Jiang Chengxuan, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Hongxia, you said the banquet at Prince Guang's Mansion will last a whole day and night? It's so grand?"
"Yes, Princess."
"Are you going to host a banquet for the people?"
"This servant is asking about this, but it doesn't mean that!"
Shen Zhaowan was half-truthful, even a little slanderous, "Then he is really extravagant and arrogant."
Shen Zhaowan's tone was filled with anger, but he didn't think she was deliberately making things difficult for him. He just thought that she was thinking of other things and was kind-hearted.
Jiang Chengxuan standing by paused. Three hundred miles south of the capital, a river dried up, exposing the riverbed, and cracks appeared in the crops. This year's harvest was affected. The people in the surrounding villages that depended on the river were in a panic, and some people had already fled for their lives.
Jiang Chengxuan's consideration of these two points can serve as a pretext for criticizing Jiang Qiyuan.
Although it is not a fatal injury, it can still cause him trouble.
Shen Zhaowan skipped the topic and said, "Hongxia, help me put on nail polish later."
Shen Zhaowan looked at her fingernails. There was nothing else to do anyway.
Hongxia: "Okay, Princess, I'll get ready right away."
Jiang Chengxuan raised his eyes slightly and scanned her fingers. They were as slender as jade, each one was just right, and her nails were round and pink.
He calmly withdrew his gaze and concentrated on eating his ice cream without rushing to play aside.
Soon, Hongxia brought over the prepared things.
Pounding flowers aside.
"Hongxia, the color doesn't need to be too bright."
"Yes, princess."
……
After Shen Zhaowan dyed her fingernails, she wrapped them with gauze.
Then she took off all her shoes and socks, and the red glow was dyed with the same color.
Jiang Chengxuan, who was sitting aside, narrowed his eyes and stroked the jade pendant on his body with his fingers.
It was as if what he had obtained was not a jade pendant, but Shen Zhaowan's pretty feet.
There was enough light during the day, so Shen Zhaowan lifted the hem of her skirt two inches higher, revealing her ankles and half of her slender calves.
He had never looked at these things so calmly at night. The fair skin seemed more eye-catching than the sunlight outside.
Acquiring Wen Liang's jade pendant could no longer calm him down!
Shen Zhaowan did not hesitate to be around Jiang Chengxuan, and just let him look at her.
After wrapping your feet, you just have to wait for the color to set.
……
After a cup of tea, Hongxia removed the gauze wrapped around Shen Zhaowan's hand and carefully wiped each finger.
Shen Zhaowan's hair was dyed flesh pink with pearl powder added. When she moved her fingers, one could seem to see a light layer of shiny powder.
It looks especially beautiful on Shen Zhaowan's hands.
"My Lord, what do you think?"
Shen Zhaowan stretched out her hand in front of him, as if wanting to praise him.
Jiang Chengxuan lowered his eyes, thinking that her hands looked very beautiful whether she was wearing makeup or not.
He blinked his eyes lightly, with a silly look on his face, and tilted his head, as if he didn't understand.
"ugly!"
Shen Zhaowan choked, "Forget it, you definitely don't understand, I shouldn't ask you."
Shen Zhaowan was not angry, but added in a low voice, "Luckily it was me who asked you, if it was any other woman, she would have been irritated by you. You don't know how to get a woman's attention! But... never mind, I won't talk about you anymore."
Shen Zhaowan hesitated to speak, causing Jiang Chengxuan to feel chest tightness and shortness of breath.
This means he is unromantic!
Why did he find that Shen Zhaowan's words were sometimes quite irritating? She either used that critical and fierce tone or her usual gentle tone, but the latter was even more uncomfortable.
It seems that if I refute you, you will be accused of being narrow-minded and will not let go.
Shen Zhaowan admired it alone, not caring at all about his current mood.
……
Although he did not attend the banquet hosted by Prince Guang, he actually went directly to the palace two days later.
Qi Wen and Sun Jun also came with them.
In the flower hall of the palace, Shen Zhaowan led Jiang Chengxuan, who was reluctant to leave, to entertain the guests.
"Meet the Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law."
"Meet the Third Prince and the Third Princess."
All three of them bowed respectfully.
Shen Zhaowan looked at it and said, "Please sit down!"
Qi Wen and Wang Jun seemed much more obedient today. It seemed that the rope around their necks was being tightened.
"Fifth brother, you are welcome. I was too busy in the palace to congratulate you on leaving the palace and setting up your own residence."
"The Third Emperor's sister-in-law has sent me a gift. I have received your kindness."
The maidservant beside had already brewed tea and was waiting for people to taste it.
Everyone had different looks on their faces, and it seemed they weren't here to chat.
Shen Zhaowan sat quietly with a gentle smile on her lips.
Peerless beauty.
Prince Guang picked up the tea, blew on it, put it to his lips and then moved it away, as if he remembered something.
"Third brother, I was busy the past few days, and only today did I have time to personally lead people to apologize."
"Please forgive me, Third Prince and Third Princess. We were wrong that day and have offended you a lot. We accept the punishment from Third Prince and Third Princess. I have been feeling uneasy lately and I am here to ask for your forgiveness."
Prince Guang gave a look and Qi and Sun immediately stood up with sincere expressions, as if they were speaking from the bottom of their hearts!
Jiang Chengxuan seemed to be frightened by the two people's voices. He moved back stupidly and grabbed Shen Zhaowan's wide sleeves with one hand.
His face showed a mixture of stupidity and uneasiness, as if he was timid and fearful.
Prince Guang looked at it for a long time but couldn't find anything wrong, so his doubts were reduced a lot.
After hearing about what happened to Qi and Sun some time ago, naturally the first people I suspected were Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Zhaowan, and I had a conflict with them that day!
It took several days for Qi and Sun's symptoms to be completely cured.
After investigating for a long time without any clues, he simply went straight to the palace. He was afraid that his royal brother was pretending to be stupid or was suffering from dementia!
Apology is only one of the reasons. The most important thing is to test the truth.
But this is really embarrassing.
Prince Guang felt disdainful.
Shen Zhaowan's beautiful eyes moved between them, and she was suddenly surprised, "Punishment? The matter has long passed, so we naturally didn't hold on to it. If you hadn't come to the mansion recently, I would have forgotten that there was such a thing."
"It's just... from your tone, it seems like something else happened afterwards? Do you think it has something to do with us?"
"The prince and I live in the palace, so we don't know exactly. Since you are frightened, why don't you speak openly? Perhaps we can help you solve your doubts."
How can I talk about two grown men biting each other like dogs fighting over food in detail?
At that time, an order was issued to stop the spread of the news in the capital, but it took a lot of effort. Shen Zhaowan's mention of this seemed to bring their thoughts back to the time of the incident, and the healed bite marks began to hurt again.
Qi Wen had almost forgotten Prince Guang's instructions at this time, and his arrogant temper was about to be uncontrollable, "Does the princess really not know what happened? Are you lying to us?"
"Are you questioning this princess?"
Shen Zhaowan's smile remained unchanged, but it turned cold.
Prince Guang: "Don't be angry, Third Sister-in-law. This is Qi Wen's personality."
His goal had been achieved, so he didn't care that much about the apology.
"I'm not angry, I'm just curious. Since Fifth Brother spoke up for them, I won't ask any more questions. But... Fifth Brother should be disciplined more. Talking nonsense is not what a gentleman does. If the two of them really encountered something that day, it has nothing to do with us. Now I ask you to talk about it but you avoid it. I doubt whether you are lying. Besides, the two of them followed you today and were very obedient."
"I am also pleased to see that you are sincere and have come to apologize again, so I will accept the gift. I also see that you seem to be worried, so I have a gift for you."
"Hongxia, bring it over here."
"Yes, princess."
The three people below all looked at Shen Zhaowan, wondering what she was going to do?
"This is a Buddhist scripture I found by chance. The Buddha said, be kind with your words and have a good heart. I am giving it to you today. I also hope that you can look forward and forget the unhappiness. You can also pray for the victims and protect the people."
Looking at the Buddhist scriptures in front of them, the three of them only felt pain in their eyes and no longer had the heart to continue chatting.
Prince Guang took the lead in paying respects and hurriedly left with the gifts.
……
After Prince Guang got on the carriage, he threw the things in his hand violently. There was no trace of the previous gentleness on his face, and his eyes looked terrifying.
In the past two days, rumors have been spreading in the capital that he held lavish banquets and did not care about the suffering of the people. Now he got angry when he heard about the victims.
Qi and Sun behind also had sour looks on their faces.
They don’t know that Shen Zhaowan, the most beautiful woman in the capital, understands Buddhism!
She is beautiful, but it's a pity that she married a fool!
……
"Please carefully put the delivered items into the warehouse."
"Yes, princess."
Shen Zhaowan was not affected at all, and could guess what they were thinking. It seemed that she was not at all confident that Jiang Chengxuan would show any signs of improvement.
How scared is this to pay so much attention to one person?
Perhaps he was afraid in his heart that he was no match for a fool, and was also afraid that he would always be suppressed by the queen's children.
"My Lord, the bad guys are gone, don't be afraid!"
Shen Zhaowan comforted the silent Jiang Chengxuan, unaware that she was deeply touched.
At that time, he remembered that during the first two years when he was stupid, they also came to his house from time to time like this, as if they were also afraid that he would get better, so they always came to test him a few times. When no one was around, they always bullied him, trying to trample him into the mud so that they could feel that they were superior.
"Your Majesty?"
"But are they really scared? If they come again next time, how about I just not let them in?"
[Ding ding ding, the male lead Jiang Chengxuan's love value +10, the current love value is 30.]
"You are a good person, you will protect me."
Jiang Chengxuan felt the warmth in his hands, as if it was really nice to have someone by his side.
Shen Zhaowan smiled sweetly, "Your Majesty is adorable. I believe many people are willing to protect you."
Jiang Chengxuan lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Zhaowan with clear eyes, feeling a tightness in his chest.
