Chapter 248 Being scolded
The next day, when Shen Tang woke up, it was almost noon.
She woke up hungry and moved her body. It felt like someone had stuffed firecrackers into her quilt. The sound of her bones creaking made her tremble with fear.
I didn't sleep a wink the whole night.
Just because I smiled for a moment, that bastard almost killed me.
Her whole body felt weak and she had no strength, but some parts of her body didn't hurt as much. She was half asleep in the morning and knew that Xie Guimo had applied medicine to her. She didn't know what it was, but it seemed to be quite effective.
Shen Tang wanted to eat but didn't want to get up. Ginkgo and Qiu Tong, who had been guarding the door all morning, heard some movement in the room. Ginkgo hurriedly pushed the door open and saw Shen Tang leaning against the large pillow. Ginkgo asked, "The Crown Prince's Consort is finally awake."
Shen Tang asked, "What time is it?"
Ginkgo said, "In another quarter of an hour, it will be noon."
Shen Tang knew it was getting late, but she didn't expect it was almost noon. This was the first time in her life that she had slept until noon.
Fortunately, I don’t have to pay my respects to the old lady, otherwise I would definitely be scolded.
Shen Tang asked, "Where's that bastard?!"
ginkgo,"……"
Qiu Tong, "..."
The Crown Prince's wife was indeed bullied badly and even cursed the Crown Prince in front of them.
Ginkgo said, "Half an hour ago, the eldest prince sent someone to deliver an invitation to the prince for dinner, and the prince left the palace."
Shen Tang was so angry.
That bastard ate her up and left her half dead, but he was able to leave the house as if nothing had happened. When Shen Tang found out that Xie Guimo got up at the same time to practice martial arts as usual and was full of energy, she was speechless.
After leaning against the small couch to relax for a while, Shen Tang was really hungry. He threw back the quilt and got out of bed, his legs so weak that he could hardly stand.
Shen Tang couldn't help but greet a certain gentleman again and again in his heart.
Then Xie Guimo rode on horseback to keep the appointment and stopped in front of Deyue Tower.
After entering Deyue Tower, the guards were waiting at the stairs and led Xie Guimo upstairs.
In the private room, the eldest prince stood at the window, waving a folding fan and watching the people coming and going on the street.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned around and saw Xie Guimo coming in. The eldest prince smiled and said, "I was wondering why I asked you to have dinner with me. It turns out I owe you such a big favor."
Putting away the folding fan in his hand, the eldest prince bowed to Xie Guimo and said, "Thank you very much."
Xie Guimo wanted to reach out and support the eldest prince, but his nose felt itchy and he sneezed.
The eldest prince, "..."
The eldest prince looked at Xie Guimo and asked, "Did you catch a cold?"
"I got scolded."
"..."
The eldest prince was a little confused, "Who dares to scold you?"
Well, the bruises on Xie Guimo’s face haven’t completely disappeared yet, let alone scolding him, there are even people who dare to hit him.
Xie Guimo said, "My wife scolded me."
The eldest prince, "..."
The eldest prince laughed and said, "Slapping is love, scolding is care."
Xie Guimo actually liked to hear this.
The two sat down, and four waiters came in one after another and brought in the food.
Nine dishes, one soup, and two jars of fine wine.
The eldest prince poured wine for Xie Guimo.
At yesterday's morning court, the eldest prince's mood was up and down. The morning court was discussing things well, but Eunuch An suddenly took out the bright yellow imperial edict and asked him to kneel down to receive it. The eldest prince thought that the emperor was granting him a marriage, and was also worried that Concubine Ye was taking revenge on him for forcing the Prince of Qi to marry a useless princess and also for him to marry a princess who was not of the same social status as him. He even wanted to disobey the emperor's edict at that time.
As a result, the imperial edict appointed him as Prince of Yu and allowed him to set up his own government office. His depressed mood instantly became sunny and warm like spring.
Although this was a good thing, the eldest prince still wanted to know why the emperor had previously forbidden him from opening a residence, so he suddenly allowed it. He didn't dare ask the emperor, so he went to ask Eunuch An. Eunuch An refused to say at first, but after a few more words, he finally revealed something, "I really don't know what the emperor is thinking. Recently, no one has helped you to ask for permission to open a residence. However, the prince of Jingyang did mention it to the emperor yesterday. The eldest prince lives in the palace, so it would be inconvenient for him to come to you if he has something..."
The eldest prince is not a stupid person as he has been fighting with the second prince for so long. It is obvious that it is because of Xie Guimo.
Thinking of the fact that Xie Guimo had asked him to treat everyone to a meal when he left the palace the day before yesterday, the eldest prince immediately asked someone to make arrangements to thank Xie Guimo properly.
Just a short while after sitting at the table, Xie Guimo sneezed seven or eight times.
The eldest prince, "..."
The eldest prince's mouth twitched.
Although beating is love and scolding is care, isn't the Prince Jingyang's wife's love a little too harsh?
Being beaten by his elder brother-in-law, Prince Ning, and being scolded by the princess, why does it feel so miserable, yet he looks so happy?
The eldest prince looked at Xie Guimo, and Xie Guimo said with disdain, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
The eldest prince coughed lightly and said, "To be honest, I'm a little curious about what you did to be scolded so badly."
Xie Guimo said, "You are so curious. I should persuade the emperor to grant you a marriage."
"Don't, don't..."
The eldest prince was really scared.
So many ministers were unable to persuade the emperor to let him set up a government office, but Xie Guimo could do it. What if he instigated the emperor and he really granted him a marriage?
Although the marriages of the princes were mostly bargaining chips, he was mentally prepared for this, but he still held on to the hope that he could be an exception, especially since the emperor doted on Concubine Ye and Empress Xu had a hard time in the harem. The eldest prince saw it all, and he always hoped that his princess would be someone he loved.
The eldest prince immediately suppressed his curiosity and talked about the affairs of the court.
As for Shen Tang, after getting out of bed, she sat in front of the dressing table and looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror. She looked delicate and tender, as if she had been deeply loved. The corners of her eyes were moist and shiny.
There were also red marks on the neck, and Ginkgo and Qiutong blushed with embarrassment. Shen Tang applied powder several times but couldn't cover it up. In the end, she just gave up and acted like a dead fish that was not afraid of boiling water.
After washing up, the maid brought in the food and said, "This black chicken soup was specially ordered by the princess to be made by the kitchen, so that the princess can drink more."
It's just a matter of consummating a marriage, is it necessary to make it known to everyone?
She still has some shame.
Thinking about the previous life when she consummated her marriage with Xie Guimo and it almost resulted in a death, this was nothing compared to what happened now.
Shen Tang buried his head in eating.
After Shen Tang finished his meal, Qiu Tong brought in a bowl of pitch-black medicine. Shen Tang was stunned. "What kind of medicine is this?"
Qiu Tong said, "Pregnancy medicine."
Shen Tang, "..."
A few days ago, she explained the rash under the pretext of taking pregnancy medicine, but she didn't really need to drink it.
She just consummated her marriage, why is she in such a hurry to have a baby?
And Chenxiangxuan doesn’t have any pregnancy-preserving medicine.
Shen Tang lowered his voice and asked, "Where did you get the medicine?"
Qiu Tong replied, "Madame Yun came this morning and specifically told me and Bai Shao to make some pregnancy-enhancing medicine for the Crown Princess. I said I didn't have any, so after Madame Yun left, the Princess had some medicine brought over..."
