Chapter 449: Going to the State Banquet
Shen Yiyi wrapped the cloth on the guqin again and didn't tell them what it was going to be used for until it was ready.
Looking at Yiyi's mysterious look, Shang Zhanchen was full of confusion.
"..."
Could it be that Yiyi is really going to perform piano performance at the state banquet? But I haven't heard her play a single note in the past few days, so how good is her piano skills?
Even Jiang Zuo and Jiang You thought so. The daughters of ministers would start learning the piano as soon as they could walk.
The Crown Princess has never touched a zither, and if she were to perform piano playing at a state banquet, she would most likely be embarrassed.
But they could only think about this in their hearts. They didn't even dare to say it to their master, let alone say it in front of the Crown Princess.
Seeing that it was almost time, Shen Yiyi went into the house to get dressed. Shang Zhanchen chose a bright red brocade dress for her.
Most of the hair accessories on her head were in the shape of a phoenix, and her body was adorned with dark green gems, which showed the dignity of the hostess of the East Palace.
Coupled with this pretty little face, she is even more charming and attractive, and Shang Zhanchen can't take his eyes off her.
Just when he was about to peck her beautiful red lips, Shen Yiyi pushed him away with disgust.
"Oh! I just finished putting on my makeup." She glared at the man in dissatisfaction.
Ever since I consummated my marriage with him, I haven't had many idle nights.
Sometimes it happens several times in one night, and my bones are about to fall apart, but it's still not enough. Even after I put on makeup, he still won't let her go.
Meeting Yi Yi's dissatisfied eyes, Shang Zhanchen smiled, held her little hand, and kissed her several times.
"Who made my Yiyi so charming? What should I do if I can't control myself?"
"Hmph!" Shen Yiyi glared at the man in dissatisfaction again.
But they were still very happy in their hearts. Who doesn't like to listen to nice things? After getting everything ready, the two of them walked out of the house together.
When he arrived at the front hall, he saw that the ministers and their families had already arrived. He looked at the emperor and empress sitting on the main seat and walked straight over.
"My son, I pay my respects to my father, the emperor and my queen."
"The daughter-in-law pays homage to the father, the emperor, and the mother, the queen."
"Okay, okay, please take a seat." The queen looked at her son and daughter-in-law in front of her with a smile.
They are really a perfect match, just like a couple made in heaven, especially Yiyi, ever since she consummated her marriage with Chener.
She became more and more charming and attractive. She liked her so much that even other people looked over at her.
Looking at Shen Yiyi in red, everyone looked at her with envy.
"..."
The Crown Princess is truly stunningly beautiful, no wonder the Crown Prince loves her so much, especially those unmarried girls.
Looking at Shen Yiyi standing next to the prince, I feel envious and jealous. The prince's wife is so happy to be favored by the prince alone.
But there was also someone who was resentful, and that was He Wan. Looking at Shen Yiyi standing next to the prince, she hated her so much that her nails were about to dig into her flesh.
"..."
The prince should have his own person by his side, but she is all taken away by that woman. Why?
Sensing an unfriendly gaze, Shang Zhanchen shot her a cold look, and He Wan quickly lowered her head guiltily.
Shang Zhanchen then withdrew his gaze, and when he looked at Shen Yiyi, his eyes were filled with unmelting doting.
"Let's sit over there." He pulled her to his seat.
Looking at their hands tightly held together, all the young ladies from various wealthy families were extremely envious.
If they were in his place, they would die of happiness even one day if they were pampered like this by the prince.
As soon as Shen Yiyi sat down, Shang Zhanbai took out a peace locket to show off.
"How is it? Does it look good?" Shang Zhanbai shook the safety buckle in his hand.
It was made of white jade, the same large piece of white jade that Shen Yiyi got for him from the underground river in Xianxia Mountain last time.
Looking at the crystal clear white jade safety buckle in front of her, Shen Yiyi grabbed it without any doubt and hung it directly around her waist.
"It's mine."
"Hey? This is mine." Shang Zhanbai became anxious.
He just wanted to show it to the Third Princess, not to give it to her.
"What do you mean yours? I gave you such a big piece of white jade. This little thing can be made into hundreds if not a thousand. What's wrong with asking you for a piece?"
Shen Yiyi gave Shang Zhan a disdainful look, thinking he was so stingy.
I gave him such a big piece of white jade, but he was reluctant to give away even such a small thing. Look at the white jade pendant hanging on his waist.
While he wasn't paying attention, she quickly untied it.
"Give this to me too." She hung it directly on Shang Zhanchen's waist, touched her own peace locket with satisfaction, and smiled happily.
"Brother Chen, now we have both."
"Yeah." Shang Zhanchen curled the corners of his lips and turned to look at Shang Zhanbai.
"This is a nice New Year's gift, thank you."
He casually held Shen Yiyi in his arms, glanced at Shang Zhanbai, and signaled that he could leave.
"Are you still being unreasonable?" Shang Zhan gritted his teeth in anger.
He came here just to show the Third Princess how beautifully the peace locket was made, but he never expected that not only would she snatch it away, but she would also take the one from his waist.
"Then if you return my white jade to me, I will give you these two pieces of jade." Shen Yiyi rolled her eyes at him.
What a heartless guy, he can't even bear to give me such a small thing. I won't give him anything good next time.
"How can you ask for something after giving it to someone?" Shang Zhanbai glared at Shen Yiyi with dissatisfaction.
That piece of white jade was his most precious thing. How could he take it back? He was afraid that the Third Princess would come after him for it, so he quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, I have something else to talk to you about." He sat down.
Shen Yiyi reported to Shang Zhanchen what he had told him to do before, such as buying land and building a house, but she was not interested at all.
Seeing that the banquet had not started yet, he stood up again.
"Brother Chen, I'm going to the bathroom." She pointed in the direction of the toilet.
There's really no point in just sitting here. Let's go for a walk first. Shang Zhanchen was listening to Shang Zhanbai's report.
He didn't care and nodded at Shen Yiyi.
"Yeah." Shen Yiyi then ran to the back hall.
Nowadays, the weather outside is cold, and toilets are placed inside the house, similar to now.
They are all small rooms, but the toilets have been replaced with palace buckets, and they are replaced with new ones every time they are used.
Shen Yiyi entered one of the rooms, and as soon as she came out after relieving herself, she saw Shaoyao lying on the ground.
"Peony!" Just as she was about to go over to take a look, a wet towel was covered over her mouth.
Shen Yiyi wanted to struggle, but soon gave up and closed her eyes cooperatively. She had to see who was going to attack her.
Seeing that the Crown Princess had fainted, one of the men took out a large empty palace bucket and stuffed Shen Yiyi into it.
They closed the lid again and the two of them carried it out, thinking that there was excrement inside.
Not only did no one suspect anything, but they all avoided them. The two of them successfully carried Shen Yiyi to a room next door.
He put her directly on the bed and then quickly walked out of the room.
"Let's go and inform His Highness now."
“……”Shen Yiyi opened her eyes.
Your Highness? It sounds like he is some prince.
