Shen Yunjin hurriedly stood up and saluted, and Xiao Minshen strode in and helped her up.

"I heard that your hand was burned? Let me have a look!"

"It was my carelessness. It's nothing serious. The princess has asked the imperial physician to see it today."

"Why did your Highness come back now? What's the matter?"

Xiao Minshen looked at Shen Yunjin's right hand carefully and saw that there was ointment on it. He thought it was prescribed by the imperial physician and did not take it seriously.

"Last time, didn't you suggest that the court compile the test questions? Originally, I suggested to my father that the crown prince should be in charge of this matter. After hearing about it, the crown prince suggested to my father that I should also participate."

"Now all the personnel have been decided. Because of the tight time, we need to work overtime to get the test questions out and put them in the shops."

"I don't think I'll be back for ten days or so. Once Fulu packs up, I'll rush to the palace right away."

Having said that, Xiao Minshen looked at Shen Yunjin who was leaning in his arms and gently kissed her forehead.

"I still have to go to the princess, you should take good care of your injuries. If you need anything, tell the Liu family. She is Fulu's mother."

Shen Yunjin looked at Xiao Minshen who was in a hurry and tears flowed down her face.

This is the first person who cares about me besides my aunt and best friend.

Xiao Minshen must have been very busy, but he came back to visit her as soon as possible and told her where he was going.

Although he was a cold-hearted person, he was very caring towards her.

It seems that the marriage she has obtained is worth looking forward to?

When Ning Ruyan saw Xiao Minshen coming, she felt happy for a moment, but then she tried her best to keep a straight face and suppress the smile on her face.

When she heard that Xiao Minshen would have to stay in the palace for more than ten days and would not be able to come back, she could not suppress the regret on her face.

What should she do if she doesn’t come back for more than ten days?

Thinking about the advice her sister gave her when she entered the palace a few days ago, she realized that she and her brother Minxuan would never be together.

The only thing she can do now is to win Xiao Minshen's heart and secure her position as Princess of Qi.

The best way to secure the position of Princess Qi is to give birth to a legitimate son.

As long as she doesn't make a big mistake, this position will always be hers.

But, she hadn’t even consummated her marriage with Xiao Minshen, so how could she have a child?

Only then did she regret that she should not have pushed Xiao Minshen away at the beginning. This would have resulted in the two of them becoming as distant as strangers.

Xiao Minshen saw the annoyance on Ning Ruyan's face and said, "The princess has taken good care of the mansion. I am relieved."

Ning Ruyan's face flushed when she heard the compliment.

"This is all my duty, Your Majesty..."

"Master, everything is packed and it's time to set off." Fulu's voice sounded outside the door.

"Now that I am gone, the palace will be handed over to the princess to take care of."

Xiao Minshen followed Fulu away, and Ning Ruyan came back to her senses.

Nanny Zhao couldn't stop smiling. It seemed that the princess had finally come to her senses.

She said that except for his status, the King of Qi was not as good as that one in every other aspect, whether it was appearance or figure.

Ning Ruyan blushed when she saw Aunt Zhao making fun of her. She was just distracted by her thoughts.

She would never admit that she was stunned by Xiao Minshen.

I have to say, men who work hard are really handsome. Why didn’t she realize it before?

Xiao Minshen was not in the palace, Shen Yunjin burned her hand again, and Ning Ruyan no longer had the energy to make trouble.

"Mammy, tell them not to come over to pay respects recently. Also, remember to warn them not to leave the palace at will. They must get my permission."

When everyone heard that the princess told them not to go to pay their respects, they were all happy and thankful that they had escaped again.

Shen's father was also on the list. He hurried back to the Shen Mansion, exempted Shen's mother from house arrest, and informed her that she would have to go to the palace to work in isolation for more than ten days.

There was no way. He had been away from the mansion for more than ten days, so there had to be someone in charge.

Mother Shen did not act pretentiously and immediately arranged for the maid to pack some clean clothes for Father Shen.

"By the way, Yun Chu came back a while ago and told me that he wanted to help his son-in-law with his studies. Now it seems that he can only do so after I come back."

Father Shen suddenly remembered this matter and hurriedly explained it.

"Okay, I know I'll pass on a message to Yunchu. Master, take care of yourself, eat three meals a day on time, and don't stay up late..."

Father Shen suddenly had to leave Mother Shen and stay away from home for more than ten days, and Mother Shen felt empty.

While the two were talking, Anping came over with the packed package.

"Anping, you must follow the master and keep an eye on him. Watch him eat and sleep. If there is anything, bring back a message..."

"Okay, Anping can't go in, so he can only wait outside. Your husband will keep an eye on it, and I'll leave the mansion to you."

The officials selected to go to the capital were rushing to the palace from various places.

Shen Yunchu soon received the letter sent by Shen's mother.

"My husband, my mother said that my father has to go to the palace for some business recently, so the instruction on schoolwork will be postponed."

Shen Yunchu hurried to the study and told Zhao Jingyan who was reading.

Because editing test questions was a confidential matter, everyone kept silent about it, and the family only knew that he was going to work in the palace.

As for what to do or when to come back, I have no idea.

When Zhao Jingyan heard this, his heart, which had originally calmed down, began to panic again.

The chief examiner who set the questions for the autumn examination was sent to jail, and he also guessed that his father-in-law had a chance to become the chief examiner who set the questions.

The new chief examiner hasn't been decided yet, and my father-in-law has gone to the palace and won't be back. Could there be some unexpected changes in the autumn examination?

He put down the book in his hand and went out to find his former classmates who were well-informed about gossip to ask for news.

This incident happened very suddenly and no one knows what happened?

Except for a few officials' family members who entered the palace, no one else noticed anything unusual at all.

After asking around, Zhao Jingyan returned home dejected.

"Second sister-in-law, second brother said that your father can no longer guide my husband's studies?"

Shen Yunchu had just woken up from a nap when he heard his sister-in-law's voice outside.

Then, Zhao Jingrong walked in angrily from outside the door.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Shen Yunchu, who had just woken up, felt a little confused.

"Why? How is my husband worse than my second brother? Or am I making life difficult for my second sister-in-law?" Zhao Jingrong asked one question after another.

"Big sister, what's wrong with you? You look like you've eaten a firecracker?"

"I knew it was me who made the second sister-in-law dislike me! I know that you and the eldest sister-in-law are the same, looking down on me and my husband!"

"I thought you were the daughter of an official, and different from those merchants. I wasted my sincerity!"

"Sister, what do you mean by that?" Shen Yunchu was confused.

"Second sister-in-law, don't worry. I, Zhao Jingrong, am a man of integrity. I will never come to you to beg for mercy in the future."

After chatting on Bilibili, Zhao Jingrong turned around and walked out.

Shen Yunchu hurriedly grabbed Zhao Jingrong and said, "You haven't explained what happened yet? How did I offend you?"

Zhao Jingrong shook her hands but failed to get rid of him. She pushed Shen Yunchu back.

Shen Yunchu didn't stand steadily and bumped into the table next to him.

She suddenly felt that her lower back seemed to be broken.

She couldn't help but scream, and Zhao Jingrong thought she was pretending to be pitiful.

"Stop pretending to be pitiful, Shen Yunchu, I see through you!"

After saying that, Zhao Jingrong glared at her hatefully, then turned and left.

Chunxiang came over to support Shen Yunchu, "Madam, the sister-in-law has gone far away."

"Go find my husband quickly, it hurts!" Shen Yunchu slid to the ground, holding her stomach.
