Zhong Mingyue's face was never shown, but Shen Xian felt uncomfortable watching it.

After today, there will be no Zhong Mingyue in the world, only the Crown Princess.

Shen Xian knew that imperial power was terrifying, as one sentence could determine a person's life or death, let alone a woman's marriage?

When everyone was about to leave for the banquet, Shen Xian stood there for a long time and didn't want to leave. Shi Ling stood with her. It wasn't until the waiter nervously came to invite the two of them to the banquet that Shen Xian came back to her senses. .

He turned to look at Shi Ling and took the initiative to hold his hand.

Shi Ling raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Shen Xian shook her head, turned around and walked towards the banquet, saying, "I just feel a little sorry for cousin Mingyue. Her foals will never be able to wait for her again."

Shi Ling suddenly stopped and Shen Xian was dragged by him, unable to move forward.

Turning around out of curiosity, Shi Ling said solemnly: "You don't have to be afraid."

"What?"

"I'm here, and no one can force you to do something you don't like, as long as you don't hurt yourself."

Shen Xian smiled and nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, it was said that Zhong Mingyue and Shi Yanyuan returned home together. Zhong Mingyue seemed to have changed. She even chewed her food slowly and felt full after eating less than half a bowl.

As soon as noon arrived, he left again.

Ye Min felt extremely sad and had no one to talk to, so she came directly to Ye Zhen's door to cry.

"In the past, I always hoped that she would get married, but now that she has actually gotten married, I feel very uncomfortable." Ye Min cried uncomfortably and covered her face with an embroidered handkerchief.

What's more, she is still married to a prince, so it will be difficult to meet him in the future.

Ye Zhen also had red eyes, patted her sister's hand and comforted her: "Ming Yue is a blessed child."

Ye Min shook his head: "I was happy that the Queen picked her up and taught her etiquette in person before the wedding, but yesterday she came back from Guining, and her words and deeds became what I wanted her to be, but..." She fiercely He covered his face: "Why do I feel that I am wrong?"

Ye Zhen sighed and said nothing more, just patted her back.

Shen Xian sat aside and listened, feeling a little dazed.

Has this fierce horse, cousin, really been tamed by the imperial power?

This thought lasted until half a month later. When Shen Xian went to Cuiyuxuan, she was suddenly pulled into an alley. She was so frightened that Xiang Nong thought she was kidnapped by gangsters. When she was about to call out, she was scolded: "Shh! See who I am!"

Shen Xian's eyes widened.

"Cousin..." He immediately lowered his voice: "Cousin Mingyue?"

Zhong Mingyue was dressed as a man at the moment, with her ponytail combed high, and she raised her eyebrows and winked at Shen Xian.

Shen Xian was stunned.

Why did she escape when she was not in the palace?

Seeing Shen Xian's silly look, Zhong Mingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud. She grabbed Shen Xian and got into the building. She ordered some good wine and food, went into the private room, and lay down carelessly on the tuanfu.

How does this look look like what your aunt said is polite and sensible?

Shen Xian couldn't help but ask: "What's going on? Did you run away from your marriage?"

Could it be that the person who paid homage to the prince that day was not Zhong Mingyue at all?

Shen Xian's face turned pale with fright, and she pulled Zhong Mingyue and was about to leave, shouting: "Resisting the decree and running away from marriage is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Cousin, run quickly, I will arrange a carriage for you to go to the coast. It is far away, and the Holy Emperor will definitely not find it. !”

Zhong Mingyue withdrew her arm speechlessly, sat back and took a sip of tea and looked at Shen Xian: "Who said I ran away from my marriage?"

"I am the real Crown Princess of Heaven and Earth."

Shen Xian couldn't understand it anymore.

"Then...how did you get out of the palace?"

Zhong Mingyue took out the golden token from her arms: "The prince said that as long as I am not discovered by my father, the queen and my queen, I can come out whenever I want, and I can just go back before the palace gate is closed every day."

"I have made an agreement with the prince. I will play the role of a virtuous and gentle prince in front of the palace people. When I am alone, I can do whatever I want. I don't have to behave myself all the time."

Shen Xian's heart that was about to jump out finally fell.

It’s okay, okay, it’s not illegal.

She still wants to continue living a life of fine clothing and fine food.

When the food came, Zhong Mingyue couldn't wait to stuff the meat into her mouth. She couldn't eat well in the palace these days, so she had to have a good meal when she came out.

"Then what was going on that day when you returned to Ning?"

Zhong Mingyue didn't even raise her head, she picked up the chicken leg and put it in her mouth, saying vaguely: "What's going on?"

Shen Xian poured her a cup of tea: "On the second day after you returned to Ning, my aunt came to see my mother and said that she regretted your change and couldn't bear to leave you."

Zhong Mingyue's mouth grew bigger and she couldn't swallow the food in her mouth for a long time.

After a pause: "Did she really say that?"

"Well, I even cried."

Zhong Mingyue swallowed the food in her mouth and sneered: "When I was at home, I would either beat or scold me or compare me with others. Now that I have married as she wished, I am still marrying high, so she can't bear to let me go."

Shen Xian: "It's not like you don't know that your mother is very talkative and has a bad heart. You will definitely be sad when you get married."

Zhong Mingyue snorted: "She has a sharp mouth and a sharp heart." After a pause, she said: "Since the marriage decree came down, she and I have been quarreling every day. She wants me to get married immediately so that it won't hinder her. What I'm talking about now Just listen to what I say, she might be happy and send me away."

"cousin..."

"Don't pity me, I'm not pity, drink!"

Shen Xian looked at the wine in the glass carefully, she didn't want to make the same mistake twice.

Zhong Mingyue said anxiously: "This wine is not intoxicating, it is just fruit wine."

Shen Xian took a sip dubiously. It was really sour and sweet with only a slight hint of alcohol, so it should be fine.

On the street, Shi Ling's carriage was driving slowly. He had just come out of the Criminal Department and was leaning on the carriage to take a nap with a tired face.

Ah Feng: "Your Majesty, it seems that the carriage of the Duke's Mansion is blocking the road ahead."

Shi Ling opened his eyes, lifted the curtains of his car and saw that he was at the door of Yixin Building, and said, "Stop the car."

Ah Feng was stunned.

What he said just now was not that he wanted you, the prince, to go find Shen Xian!

As soon as Shi Ling entered the door, the shopkeeper of Yixinlou greeted him.

Most of the people who came to their new building were high-ranking officials and they were doing royal business. Although Shi Ling didn't come here often, he was not an ordinary person. When he came, he just had to be well-received.

"Did the prince have an appointment or go to dinner?"

"Find someone."

The shopkeeper was a smart man. He rolled his eyes and understood. He pointed to the innermost box on the second road and whispered: "Miss Shen Er is right up there."

Shi Ling raised his feet and was about to go to the second floor. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper suddenly remembered that there was not only Shen Xian but also a young man inside.

He hurriedly stepped forward: "Would you like me to call the lady out for you?"

Shi Ling frowned: "No need, I can just go by myself."
