Chapter 354: Post from the Rui Palace
These words come down.
Whether or not he is truly a virtuous ruler, he will act in this situation to preserve his reputation.
Even if he knew about this, he would punish Lord Xu in order to maintain his image as a wise king.
And I won’t think that the eldest princess is unkind.
After listening to this, everyone agreed and said in unison: "Yes, truth prevails everywhere."
It doesn’t matter whether something appears to be the case on the surface or not; the key is to demonstrate such an attitude and image.
After Shen Xia finished dealing with the things here, she followed Gu Xi back to the Princess's Mansion, and the original shopping trip was shelved.
And Qianyu was also injured.
Got on the carriage.
Shen Xia looked at Qianyu: "Sister Qianyu, are you feeling better?"
"Well, I just swallowed a pill and I feel much better." Qianyu said gently.
"okay."
The eldest princess came on horseback.
So we rode horses on the way back.
However, the news that the eldest princess stood up for Princess Anping soon spread throughout the capital's aristocracy.
Of course, Minister Xu's daughter was thrown into jail, and this incident also caused a sensation.
It would be fine if the princess didn't go out, but when she did, she was stunning. She is worthy of being the princess, just like she was back then.
In fact, such major conflicts rarely occur among aristocratic families.
We are all in the same circle and know each other, so when something happens, we will avoid each other.
This was purely an accident.
Returned to the Princess's Mansion.
Shen Xia planned to arrange Qianyu in another courtyard.
As a result, Qianyu said she was afraid.
Then the main courtyard is also relatively large.
Shen Xia had no choice but to go find the princess since it was her own injury.
“Mom, Sister Qianyu, because I’m injured and afraid to live in another courtyard, can I put her next to me?”
Gu Xi looked at the red mark on Shen Xia's collar.
This is going to find Song Yun.
Hey!
It seems that I should arrange a concubine for my daughter to stay next to me, otherwise she will always be thinking about the outside world.
Looking at Shen Xia, he said, "Okay, Princess Mansion Yuan'er, you can make the decision directly."
Shen Xia smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."
Shen Xia came forward and hugged Gu Xi: "Mom, it's great to have you."
Gu Xi patted Shen Xia's back gently: "Don't you have a guard by your side? Why isn't he here today?"
Shen Xia listened to Gu Xi's words and was puzzled: "Mom, how did you know?"
Gu Xi raised the corner of her mouth: "How could I not know? You forgot that I am also a martial artist. I knew from the beginning that there were guards hidden around you."
"Oh, Li Yi had something to do these few days, so he went out."
Gu Xi frowned: "Then mother will arrange two guards for you."
Shen Xia thought for a moment and said, "Okay, thank you for troubling me then."
"What's the trouble? Mother knows you have guards, otherwise she would have arranged them for you from the beginning."
"I'm sorry to have made you worry, but this matter has become so serious, will it have any impact on you?" Shen Xia still wanted to ask.
Gu Xi shook her head: "No, at most we will become enemies, but how come Miss Xu has a conflict with you?"
Shen Xia thought about it and decided that she couldn’t say it was because of Fourth Brother, otherwise her mother would definitely dislike Fourth Brother even more.
"It was just that we had a little argument when we went to Chenghuang Temple last time."
"Well, it's okay. With mom here, no one can hurt you in the slightest." Gu Xi comforted.
Shen Xia is actually a very emotional person. She doesn't know how she has earned the honor or ability to have parents who take such good care of her, no matter in her past or present life.
He turned to look at Jixiang: "Bring the things over here."
Jixiang holds a box in his hand.
Shen Xia brought it with him when he came out just now.
Shen Xia took the box and gave it to Gu Xi: "Mom, this is for you."
Gu Xi was curious: "What is it?"
He opened it while speaking.
"I originally wanted to go out and buy something with mom, but I didn't buy anything, so I gave mom the things I had saved before. Please don't despise me."
"How could mother dislike it? Mother likes anything our Yuan'er gives her."
Gu Xi looked at the box filled with many small ceramic jars.
He gently picked up a small bottle, which had "Yangxin Pill" written on it. He opened it and smelled it: "Is this the Yangxin Pill made by Dr. Cui?"
"Mother knows Dr. Cui?"
“There is no one in the capital who doesn’t know him.”
"Oh,"
"His pills sell very well, but they are rarely sold. Who among the rich doesn't want to prolong their life? So even if it's worth a fortune, you want to buy some?"
After hearing this, Shen Xia was puzzled. Why was he next to Xiao Bei?
Gu Xi looked inside and saw about ten pills.
"Yuan'er must have spent a lot of money!"
Shen Xia shook her head: "I didn't spend any money, he gave it to me as a gift."
Gu Xi was surprised: "Yuan Er is very familiar with Dr. Cui?"
Shen Xia nodded: "Yeah, not bad."
"Oh, then I'll take it."
Shen Xia nodded: "Mom, take one pill every month, it can prolong your life."
"Well, good! What's this other bottle?"
Shen Xia saw that Gu Xi should be in her forties.
I think I should take good care of my health, so I don’t have many wrinkles on my face.
But I definitely don’t take care of my skin on a regular basis.
"Mom, please sit down. Let me help you try this. This is a skin care product from Shengshi Fanhua."
Aunt Gui at the side said, "Princess, the princess is really filial! I heard that people say that the skin care products in Shengshi Fanhua are very expensive."
Shen Xia smiled and replied, "They are all our own property, so they are not expensive. The two maids have been taking good care of the princess over the years, and you have worked really hard."
Then, she turned to look at Jixiang and instructed, "Jixiang, go to my room and take a look. It seems that there are several sets left. Bring two sets over and give one set to Madam Xu and Madam Gui each."
When Aunt Gui heard this, she quickly waved her hands and refused: "No, no, how can we let the princess spend money!"
Shen Xia smiled and explained: "The two maids have been fighting together since my mother was young. There is no need to be so polite. You deserve it."
After Shen Xia finished speaking, he began to explain to Gu Xi in detail how to use it and demonstrated the operation steps himself.
"My face does feel very comfortable." Gu Xi saw that Shen Xia had completed the care for her.
"Well, I will share other skin care tips with my mother in the future. Women must take good care of their faces."
Gu Xi smiled and responded: "Okay."
A woman!
When it comes to skin care, we have a lot to talk about, and we talked for a long time.
Not long after, the servant at the door brought a note.
Gu Xi took it and looked at it, then said, "It was sent by Princess Rui."
She gently opened the post and read, "Yuan'er, it says here that Gu Zizhan is back."
When Shen Xia heard the news that Gu Zizhan had returned, her hands couldn't help but tremble.
Five years have passed, he should have let go of that relationship!
"Oh! Mom, what else does it say?"
"It says that you are invited to meet at Yunshang Elegant Room in Hongyun Building at noon tomorrow."
Shen Xia frowned, his heart full of doubts.
What does it mean?
Gu Xi looked at Shen Xia with a bad face and said, "Yuan'er, just meet her! See if she likes you first. If she doesn't like you, then I will go to Princess Rui to cancel the engagement."
Shen Xia nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, mother."
