Chapter 530 Reward
Shen Shuyi's eyes were filled with confusion. He stroked his temple with one hand and looked at Xiao Mengxi: "There is medicine... in the wine..."
"Miss!" Jinzhu rushed forward and was hit on the back of the neck by a knife.
Yuping was about to speak when her vision went dark and she fainted.
There was limited space in Fengbo Pavilion, so Qinxin and Jianpo were left under the pavilion and did not come in.
Xiao Mengxi did not answer Shen Shuyi's question, but said slowly: "The county lady is drunk, help her to rest."
"Yes."
At that moment, a strong old woman carried Shen Shuyi on her shoulders and covered her with a cloak so that others could not see her appearance.
"Is Rui'er ready?" Xiao Mengxi asked. She felt exhausted when she mentioned her son.
"My lord, I'm ready. It's just that... it's just that the prince may not be familiar with... matters between men and women. The maids have taught him for a long time... but... but..."
Xiao Mengxi understood what the maid said before she finished speaking.
When it comes to things between men and women, one of them has to take the initiative, especially the man, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed.
Even if she could get the two of them to sleep on the same bed, Rui'er didn't understand, so it would be difficult to accomplish.
"Okay, I get it. Let's do this first. It doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not. If it doesn't work now, it will work in the future. There's always time."
"Yes."
After saying this, the old woman carried Shen Shuyi on her back.
Xiao Mengxi stood aside and looked at her, and said slowly: "Today's matter is the reward for my unconditional confession. But Shen Shuyi, don't worry, as long as you marry Rui'er with peace of mind, I will never treat you unfairly."
After that, Xiao Mengxi waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, don't let anything go wrong."
After the old woman carried Shen Shuyi away, Xiao Mengxi's trusted maid, Aunt Bihe, said, "Princess, if we do this, will the Princess of Changning become resentful and blame us?"
Xiao Mengxi poured herself a glass of wine calmly: "What are you afraid of? This princess has plenty of time to spend with her. If she is an eagle, then I will break her wings and trap her in prison. She will bow her head one day."
"The Queen Mother..."
Bihe was still a little worried. After all, somehow this Guining County Lady had caught the empress dowager's eye.
The princess was currently hosting a plum blossom viewing banquet, and everyone saw Shen Shuyi leaving with the princess. If something happened to Shen Shuyi, the princess would definitely be the most suspected.
After all, there is no reason for Shen Shuyi, who has a bright future, to seduce the princess's mentally ill and crazy son.
The Queen Mother and Your Majesty will surely be able to see it clearly.
Xiao Mengxi adjusted the hairpin on her head with her nail polish painted fingers and said nonchalantly, "So what if you know? The matter is done. Even if His Majesty and the Queen Mother blame me for being naughty, they will definitely understand my painstaking efforts. Besides, do you think His Majesty and the Queen Mother will punish me for such an insignificant person like Shen Shuyi?"
"When the time comes, it will be a done deal, and I will double the compensation for Shen Shuyi."
Xiao Mengxi leaned back on the couch and poured herself another drink. The maid beside her came forward and massaged her shoulders carefully.
It is her blessing that Shen Shuyi is valued by her, and she hopes that she can cherish her blessing.
If this person refuses the blessings he has obtained, he will suffer retribution.

Now, on the other side.
Zhao Xueqing and Yao Huiyan were enjoying the plum blossoms and chatting in the plum garden.
Not long after, Zhao Xueqing stopped, looked around, and whispered, "Why hasn't my cousin come back yet?"
Yao Huiyan said, "Sister Shuyi is going with the princess, so I don't think there will be anything wrong with that."
Zhao Xueqing smiled and said, "Indeed, I just heard the princess mention my cousin's marriage, and I wonder if she is intending to arrange a marriage for my cousin."
"Maybe the princess likes my cousin, and maybe she wants to arrange a marriage for my cousin with the prince." Yao Huiyan spoke again.
Zhao Xueqing nodded: "I heard that the princess's son is handsome and suave, and his status is noble. If my cousin can marry into the princess's mansion, she will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."
Yao Huiyan said immediately: "That's not to say that you have no worries about food and clothing, it's clearly to become a royal relative, and your future life can be said to be prosperous."
"That's true. I wonder if the prince will like my cousin. If I can be favored by the prince..."
The two of them, along with Sun Yahui, chatted casually about this matter.
Shen Meiru was standing not far away and heard it clearly.
She looked at the backs of several people with resentment. Is he the prince of the Princess's Mansion?
How come Shen Shuyi has such good luck?
You know, although the prince of the Princess's Mansion is not a prince, he is of real royal blood.
If Shen Shuyi could marry him, wouldn't it be a step up to the top and become a wealthy woman?
Why don’t I have such good luck!
The corners of Shen Meiru's eyes turned red, and the jealousy in her heart was about to break out of the cage.
She was tired of such a cautious life, and she also longed to become a successful person like Shen Shuyi, admired by others.
Shen Meiru turned her head and looked, feeling more and more alone.
Shen Jingzhen had disappeared when she arrived here, Qin Xuerong didn't care about her at all, Shen Qinghuan was busy flattering Shen Shuyi, and the people from the second room were all familiar with each other. In the end, she was the only one left.
Most of the nobles in other palaces looked down on her as a concubine's daughter, so Shen Meiru felt extremely embarrassed at the moment.
Just then, a pair of maids walked past Shen Meiru carrying a tray.
"Have you seen the prince?"
"It seems that the prince is resting in the Yimei Garden behind the Plum Garden today. I don't know what happened just now, but the princess got angry again."
"Oh, it's really hard to do. I heard that Aunt Jinxiu was also punished for not serving her well."
"..."
Shen Meiru did not hear what the maid said next, but she only heard that the princess and the prince were resting in Yime Garden at the moment.
Not only that, she also heard that the princess attached great importance to this son.
Shen Meiru couldn't help but think, if she could become the Crown Prince's Consort...
She couldn't explain the reason, but at that moment, she suddenly felt boundless ambition and desire. Her head seemed to be hot, and she urgently wanted to grab something.
Shen Meiru gritted her teeth and found a maid who was in a hurry. She paid a piece of silver and asked for the direction of Yime Garden.
Then, she walked in that direction as if possessed.
She didn't know what she was going to do, she just wanted to take a look, maybe... she would run into something...
Shen Meiru walked into a path in Meilin. Before she walked too far, a voice sounded behind her: "Where are you going?"
Shen Meiru paused, looked back, and saw Qin Xuerong standing not far behind her with a sullen face.
Perhaps because she had been suppressed by Qin Xuerong for many years, Shen Meiru's heart tightened and she subconsciously felt some fear.
"Mother, I was just walking around casually and I lost my direction." Shen Meiru lowered her head, looking very cautious.
Qin Xuerong sneered: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Are you dreaming of marrying a princess or a prince?"
