Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

The Third Prince was victorious this time and eliminated all the bandits at Zhaozhou Ferry for His Majesty.

This is no small achievement.

When the news reached Ding'an and then the palace, Concubine Wei immediately smiled and asked people to dress her up immediately, predicting that His Majesty would come to visit her soon.

She was worthy of accompanying His Majesty for so many years. As expected, just after she finished washing up, she heard the voice of the eunuch outside.

His Majesty has indeed arrived.

Concubine Wei Xian suppressed her smile, pretending to know nothing, and went out to greet His Majesty, asking with a puzzled look on her face: "Why did His Majesty come here at this time?"

"Xian Concubine, you gave birth to a good son for me!" His Majesty made no effort to conceal his joy, and he reached out his hand and helped Xian Concubine Wei up affectionately.

Such great news naturally also reached the princess's mansion.

Princess Wenchang was playing chess with Shi Qing, holding a crystal clear white piece in her hand. After hearing this, she just curled her lips slightly and calmly placed the white piece in a corner of the board.

Shi Qing also did not show too much surprise, but when he heard that the third prince had wiped out a total of 3,000 bandits in Zhaozhou, his brows were furrowed into a knot.

"Three thousand people..."

"The evidence has been secretly placed in the East Palace. It depends on when the prince will find out." Princess Wenchang looked at the chessboard intently.

Shi Qing took a deep breath, shook his head and said nothing more.

After a long while, he whispered, "Your Majesty must hold a celebration banquet for the Third Prince."

"Of course, it will be a great time then." Princess Wenchang agreed, placing another white piece, and then smiled at Shi Qing, "I win."

The Third Prince returned in triumph, and His Majesty specially ordered all the ministers to welcome him at the palace gate, including the Crown Prince.

It is said that the crown prince forced a smile and took the lead in congratulating the third prince.

However, the third prince was very arrogant. He only nodded to the crown prince on his horse and did not even dismount in front of the heir.

The prince's face suddenly turned bad.

But His Majesty seemed to know nothing about it. In front of all the civil and military officials in the court, he praised the Third Prince for his elegance and grace as he did in his youth. At the end, he waved his hand and held a banquet in Zhaotai Palace to celebrate the Third Prince's success.

When Your Majesty was finally appointed Crown Prince, the palace where the first banquet was held was Zhaotai Palace.

This time, Shi Li was named by Concubine Wei again.

She told His Majesty that she and Shi Li hit it off from the first sight and hoped that she could also attend the banquet in the palace.

His Majesty naturally could not refuse such a small request, so he sent an order to Princess Wenchang's mansion, asking Princess Wenchang to bring Shi Li to the palace for the banquet.

"This virtuous concubine really won't stop thinking about Mingyue." Princess Wenchang shook her head helplessly, but she didn't care much.

After all, that was the prevailing trend in the Zhen Dynasty, and there was no fear that something unexpected would happen to Shi Li when she entered the palace, or that she would be forced to marry.

Princess Wenchang called Shi Li over and told her that she would have to go to the palace again. At the end, she comforted her, "There are many snacks at the palace banquet that are not even available in my mansion. You can go and try them when the time comes. Don't worry about anything else."

"Okay, I'll go try some snacks."

Since Shi Li stayed, she knew that such things were inevitable, so she didn't feel too surprised and nodded very sensibly.

This time Shi Shiqing also had to enter the palace, and the three of them could be considered a complete family of three.

When she arrived at Zhaotai Palace, Shi Li discovered that even Xiang Yinyao, who was supposed to be in the Eastern Palace to recuperate, was there. His Majesty really gave the Third Prince a lot of face and didn't even care about the Eastern Palace at all.

Xiang Yinyao's complexion was very bad. Although she was covered with a thick layer of powder, her face was still pale.

She also saw Shi Li, her eyes widened, and then frowned in disgust.

Shi Li didn't care. She followed Princess Wenchang and Shi Qing to take a seat and acted as an invisible person throughout the whole process.

But not everyone thinks like her.

After a while, His Majesty, the Third Prince and Concubine Wei came to Zhaotai Palace together.

In front of so many people, Concubine Wei actually asked Shi Li to come to her side.

"I haven't seen Miss Shi for a few days, and I miss her so much. Come over to me quickly, and let's have a good talk." Concubine Wei was in high spirits and waved to Shi Li with a smile.

Shi Li: ...

He first glanced at Princess Wenchang, and seeing that she had no objection, Shi Li stood up and walked over.

It seems that she can no longer be a nobody.

When Concubine Wei saw her approaching, she smiled even more happily and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the eunuch's voice.

The prince arrived late.
