The palace banquet ended very late, but nothing major happened during the period.

Queen Mother Su left Xiao Tuanzi in the palace, and the couple took a car back.

Jiang Hao had been sleepy for a long time and fell asleep in the carriage. When he got off the carriage, Xiao Jingshan carried him down.

Xiao Jingshan looked at the sleeping woman in his arms, and his heart was full.

The couple went to bed early that night, but many people in the huge capital could not sleep.

Inside the palace.

In the relatively remote palace, Xiao Sijin finally finished chanting and got up from the futon.

She was wearing plain clothes, her face was bare, and she was covered in sandalwood.

Who would have recognized that this was a princess if no one had told her.

The maidservant Ruyi whispered: "Princess, at today's palace banquet, a prince of Zhao Kingdom wants to marry you."

"The emperor agreed?" Xiao Sijin tightened his grip on the beads in his hand.

Ruyi said, "The emperor did not agree on the spot, but Zhao Guo clearly wanted to marry him, I am afraid..."

Xiao Sijin bit her lip. She was the only princess in the entire harem, and she was the only one who wanted to get married.

Her mother-in-law and the emperor's brother had made mistakes before, but if the current emperor didn't like her and assigned her at will, the rest of her life would be over.

She has been hiding in the palace cautiously for so many years. When the eldest brother Xiao Jingshan came back, she almost got involved. She never showed her face, so could she still avoid the fate of getting married?
Xiao Sijin was silent for a while, as if he had made some kind of determination.

"Ruyi, pack up and follow me to see the Queen."

Ruyi followed Xiao Sijin to the entrance of the Queen's Palace.

Looking at the candlelight inside, Ruyi reminded in a low voice, "Princess, it's so late, the Queen may have rested."

The queen was probably tired after the palace banquet today. She had no way to meet the princess. She was just confused and failed to persuade her.

What she actually wanted to say was that the emperor and the queen were one husband and wife. If the emperor decided the matter, it would be useless for the princess to ask the queen.

Xiao Sijin was also hesitant at the moment, but the people at the entrance of the Queen's Palace had already spotted her, so she could only bite the bullet and ask for a meeting.

"Queen, the princess wants to see you."

There is only one princess in the harem. Shen Yu has only seen this sister-in-law two or three times since she got married, and she is not familiar with her.

"I guess I heard something. Let her come in." Shen Yu asked the people around her to pass on the message.

The prince and Xiaotuanzi did not return from the Queen Mother's side, and the emperor had already rested in the imperial study, so it was not inconvenient for her to see Xiao Sijin.

Xiao Sijin came soon, "I've met the emperor's wife."

"No need to be polite." Shen Yu asked her to stand up. Knowing why she came, she went straight to the point. "Don't worry, your imperial brother has no intention of letting you get married, and he will never do so in the future."

She heard from the emperor that the women of the Zhou Dynasty did not want to get married, and she agreed very much that a man's empire should not be sacrificed at the expense of a woman's life.

Xiao Sijin didn't expect this, and was overjoyed. He accidentally expressed his deepest thoughts, "Sister-in-law, can I not get married?"

After speaking, he hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Please forgive me, Madam-in-law."

Shen Yu felt that this sister-in-law, who always seemed to be neither happy with things nor sad with herself, finally had a bit of childishness.

She smiled and said: "I can't make the decision on this matter, but I think your royal brother's character should be able to agree. The Zhou Dynasty is so rich that he can't afford to raise a princess."

As a woman, she could understand Xiao Sijin's thoughts.Wasn't she also forced by the Shen family to take risks and cooperate with the emperor who was still the second prince?

It's just that he was lucky enough to meet a good man. If he was unlucky, it would be difficult to get ahead in this life.

So she can understand Xiao Sijin's thoughts very well.Besides, you are already a princess, why should you serve a man?

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Xiao Sijin was feeling happy from the bottom of his heart at the moment. It could be said that he had never been so happy since he learned about the ambitions of the emperor's brother and his mother's concubine.

Even the voice was brisk.

"You're welcome, go back." Shen Yu asked the eldest daughter beside her to take her away.

Xiao Sijin came with a sad face and returned with brisk steps.

Shen Yu looked at her back and smiled. How could the fourth prince Xian Wang and his mother and concubine give birth to such a princess.

The fourth prince, Prince Xian, who was reminded of the Queen, was looking at the man in black who appeared beside his bed with vigilance for no apparent reason.

"Don't be nervous, King Xian. Since you let me enter your room, you should believe that I am not a bad person. Although King Xian was not seen at the palace banquet, King Xian should recognize who I am, right?" The visitor pulled his tongue as he spoke. Masked himself.

It was Guan Tian from the previous palace banquet.

The fourth prince asked the beautiful concubine beside him to get dressed, and then dismissed him.

"Prince Shangguan came here late at night, specifically to visit me, a loser?"

King Xian was missing one arm, one sleeve was empty, and his tone was very mocking.

Ever since he lost an arm and was banned in Prince Xian's Mansion, he hasn't appeared in front of people for a long time.

He can participate in today's palace banquet, but King Xian doesn't want to be looked at like a monkey.

Shangguantian said in a sarcastic tone, "Why, King Xian has become a useless person because he lost one of his arms? Then I really came to the wrong place today."

"I wonder if King Xian has heard about it. I asked your sister to marry you at the palace banquet today. This should be enough to show my sincerity."

King Xian's face turned ugly, and he clenched his remaining arm tightly, "If the prince wants to marry Da Zhou, I'm afraid he has found the wrong person. Now it is not my turn to decide the marriage of my sister."

In the past, Xiao Sijin was a transparent person to him and his mother-in-law, but now he has become the best one.

Shangguantian looked at him, "You have become like this. Is it possible that you don't want revenge?"

King Xian said in an excited tone, "Revenge, that's easy to say. How can I take revenge?"

When Shangguan Tian saw his appearance, he knew that today's trip was the right one. "Even if you can't overthrow the throne, you can at least make your eldest brother pay the price. Don't you think of this scene?"

King Xian sneered.

Yes, besides Xiao Qian, it was Xiao Jingshan who brought him to this stage.

If Xiao Jingshan is not recognized, how can Xiao Qian be his and the entire Yu family's opponent?

It's all Xiao Jingshan's fault, why didn't he die in the mountain before?

"If King Xian is not willing to take revenge, then he will cooperate with me. If he wants to continue to be a useless person who eats, drinks, and poops, he can just pretend that my prince has not been here tonight."

Shangguantian saw that the heat was almost over, so he left without saying a word.

A long time after he left, King Xian suddenly spoke up.

"Come here, let's inquire about the inn."

……

"Your Majesty, someone has entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion."

"Sure enough, some idiots can't sit still. Don't alert others and continue to make people stare." (End of Chapter)
