Comprehensive wear purple

It was not originally necessary to be so tiring today, but because Zhao Xi believed that "a short pain is worse than a long pain", it would be better to complete these tedious procedures earlier than to go through them bit by bit. Therefore, the emperor, who doted on his son, ignored the opposition and directly put these procedures on the day of the wedding.

Zhao Xi looked at his little wife wolfing down the food while glaring at him angrily, and touched his nose in embarrassment. He had never expected that just because he wanted to be lazy, he would make his Crown Princess so tired.

Looking at his wife's embarrassed appearance, no matter how straight Zhao Xi was, he finally realized his inappropriateness at this moment. Therefore, he rarely picked up the serving chopsticks and started to serve others.

Chen Lan was not a brainless person and knew how to stop while things were going well. Seeing the prince doing such a considerate thing, her expression visibly improved.

After finishing the meal, the two of them, served by the palace maids and eunuchs, soon lay on the bed.

Although the two were already husband and wife, they were still young and not very familiar with each other, so they were extremely silent for a while.

Or maybe Chen Lan was worried that she would suffer a loss when paying respects tomorrow, so she was very foresighted and reported the matter to Queen Cao in advance, thus breaking the silence between the two.

The young couple chatted for most of the hour, and finally Chen Lan couldn't stand Zhou Gong's call anymore and ended the conversation unilaterally because she fell asleep.

The next morning, Chen Lan was still immersed in a sweet dream when she was gently awakened by Ren Dong. She finished washing up sleepily, then half-closed her eyes and let her maid fiddle with her face.

Before long, a delicate and elegant makeup appeared on her face. After finishing her makeup, Canchun immediately started to prepare the palace dress she would need to wear when paying respects to her elders.

Meanwhile, Nong Xia and Hui Qiu divided the work. Nong Xia carefully supported her mistress, making sure she was graceful and elegant.

Huiqiu held Chenlan's favorite pearl hairpin and looked at herself in the mirror from time to time, trying to comb her hair into a bun that would best highlight Chenlan's temperament.

After nearly half an hour of busy work, several maids finally completed their task - they finally succeeded in dressing up Chen Lan, who almost fell asleep again, to look both elegant and charming.

When everything was ready, Canchun began to call Chenlan anxiously: "Master, master, please wake up quickly! The time to pay respects is almost here, it will be too late if you don't wake up!" However, Chenlan had no reaction and was still immersed in a sweet dream.

Although Chen Lan looks healthy on weekdays and has never been sick since birth, she is only ten years old after all.

Yesterday, she spent the entire day carrying the extremely heavy phoenix coronet and bridal robe on her head, busy with various etiquettes.

How can a child regain his energy with just three or four hours of sleep?

As the Crown Princess, Chen Lan will shoulder huge responsibilities and expectations in the future, but she is too young now and cannot bear such heavy pressure. The most important thing is that she has become accustomed to sleeping in. Now she is asked to get up early all of a sudden. Chen Lan said that she really doesn't want to do it.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, she is now a high and mighty, enviable existence. But if Chen Lan were to choose, she might not be willing to marry into the crisis-ridden Eastern Palace so early.

After being "ruthlessly" awakened by her maid, Chen Lan subconsciously wiped away her tears, forced herself to be strong, and then walked towards the Queen's palace with the help of the palace maids.

Along the way, Chen Lan half closed her eyes and let the palace maids lead the way. Only when she had walked halfway did Chen Lan realize why she had not seen her husband, who was so old.

So Chen Lan's sleepiness disappeared in an instant, and she asked curiously, "Do you know where the Crown Prince is now? Why didn't he show up this morning?"

Nong Xia, who was supporting Chen Lan, quickly replied, "Miss, ah, that's not right, Your Highness the Crown Princess, Your Highness the Crown Prince got up at 3:30 am to practice martial arts, and he should still be in the martial arts arena now."

Chen Lan nodded and thought, "This prince is quite hardworking. It seems that I will have no excuse to be lazy in the future."

After walking for nearly two quarters of an hour, Chen Lan, with the help of her maid, arrived at Zhengyang Palace where the queen was.

After entering the hall, she saw the queen sitting on the throne, looking at her majestically. Chen Lan did not feel nervous or afraid at all. She walked forward slowly and saluted properly.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. I wonder why you woke up so early today? Chen Lan originally thought that Your Majesty was old and should rest for a while, so she came to greet you a little later so that you could sleep a little longer and get enough rest."

"I didn't expect that your majesty is getting older and your sleep time is getting shorter and shorter. Alas, it's all because of your inconsiderateness. I hope you won't blame me. I will learn from my mistakes and come to serve you early every day. But don't worry, I'm not that evil-hearted person. I will never bring you anything with added ingredients."

The reason why Chen Lan said these seemingly rude words was not because she disrespected her elders for no reason.

In fact, it was Queen Cao who had ulterior motives and evil intentions.

Just a few days before the engagement, Empress Cao had repeatedly found various excuses to replace Chenlan's dowry.

Not only that, what's even more abominable is that she even insidiously rewarded Chen Lan with some items containing special medicines.

Fortunately, Chen Lan had superhuman five senses since she was young. When Wang Ruofu looked at the betrothal gifts and dowry with great joy, Chen Lan noticed the slight abnormality of one of the phoenix hairpins with her unique sixth sense.

It was because of this that she was able to see through the conspiracy and avoid falling into it.

Chen Lan didn't have the courage to take a step back and let the world be clear. She had to endure the pressure of calmness. Although she knew what was going on, in order to make her family members more cautious, she immediately asked her grandmother to ask the old lady of the He family to check if there was really a problem.

As expected, the phoenix hairpin contained some drugs that could cause infertility and physical weakness. Not only that, they also discovered that none of the things sent by Empress Cao were clean. It was really a waste of such good materials.

Wang Ruofu has always been someone who can't keep things to herself, and she is also the one who is most easily exploited in the Sheng family. Chen Lan had to break things down with great difficulty and explain the seriousness of the matter to her, so that she didn't make a scene that day.

After all, this is also a royal scandal. Although it can cause Queen Cao to suffer some loss, it will definitely not cause her any serious damage.

Moreover, if it was revealed that the Queen disliked her before she even got married, those who did not know the truth would not say that the always virtuous and generous Queen Cao was wrong, but would only say that she, the future Crown Princess, was incompetent.

She just didn't want to suffer this loss in vain, so she would be sarcastic tomorrow morning. If the Queen dared to take advantage of the situation, she wouldn't mind handing over the evidence.

Unexpectedly, she was used to being the virtuous queen. Even though she raised two princes and many princesses in the palace died young, she was not affected by this. Instead, she earned a reputation for being virtuous.

Look now, even though the queen was about to explode with anger, she still had a kind smile on her face, and nodded slightly, motioning Chen Lan to stand up, without any sign of embarrassment.

Chen Lan was sighing at first, saying that she was worthy of being Queen Cao from Ninja Turtles. It seemed that the reputation of being a virtuous woman would have nothing to do with her in the future because she really couldn't do it.

But she didn't expect that before she could continue to express her feelings, the mouths of the Virgin Mary and Bai Lianhua arrived late.

Wan'er: "My lady, you are too decisive. What daughter-in-law is like the Crown Princess? Not only is she late in paying her respects, but she also dares to be disrespectful to her mother-in-law."

"Oh, I wonder if the famous people around the Queen can tell me how my Crown Princess can respect her mother-in-law?"

Before Chen Lan could fight back, Crown Prince Zhao Xi, holding a sword and taking square steps, walked into the hall with disdain in his eyes, questioning Empress Cao without giving her any face.

Zhao Xi's rude behavior and sharp questioning made Wei'er so angry that her face turned red. She stood beside the queen and dared not say a word.

After Zhao Xi learned about the existence of those dirty things from his young wife last night, he decided to break off relations with Queen Cao directly and decided to suppress her while he was still in Tokyo, so as to prevent his little Crown Princess from being bullied after he left.

"My queen, I thought that my two brothers died because you didn't do your best to raise them. Now it seems that I was wrong."

"I think it's not just you who wants your adopted son and niece to take the throne. The Cao family may have also interfered. Otherwise, how could a mere son of the Cao family dare to speak rudely to the Crown Princess?"

He laughed sarcastically, turned around and glanced at Li Yi who was waiting outside the palace, and shouted: "Come in, take this maid who disrespects me and the Crown Princess and punish her with a stick. What are you doing standing there?"

Li Yi was quick-witted and quickly led people to pull Wei'er down. He was about to take her to be executed, but he was stopped by Empress Cao with a sullen face.

"I am not dead yet, and you dare to be so disrespectful to me. When will Your Highness be allowed to be so rude in my palace?"

"Hurry up and let my maid go. I don't know who dares to touch her today."

Queen Cao thought that since she had spoken, the eunuchs and guards would not dare to act presumptuously anymore. However, she did not expect that the guards escorting Wan'er only paused for a moment, then ignored her orders and left.

The other ladies in the palace were stunned. They had not expected that since the Crown Princess entered the palace, the situation would have turned out like this before they had a chance to say anything. They looked at each other awkwardly, not knowing how to react for a while.

This was the first time that she was humiliated in public by a junior. Even Empress Cao, who was used to being bullied by Concubine Zhang, was very angry at this moment. She picked up the gift she had prepared and threw it at the Crown Princess, seemingly out of anger.

Zhao Xi didn't expect Queen Cao to be so arrogant and dare to bully his young wife in front of him. He just drew his sword to split the table in front of Queen Cao, and Zhao Zhen, who came to clean up his son's mess, appeared beside his son silently.

He gently held his son's arm, glanced at the Crown Princess with a hint of apology, and then said to the people in the palace: "The Queen had a hysterical attack today and accidentally broke the table. You all understand."

Except for Empress Cao's maids, no one in the palace was willing to stand by her. Although they had always been very respectful to the Empress, the only person they could truly rely on, besides the current emperor, was the future ruler of the Song Dynasty - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Therefore, they all responded respectfully. As for the guards of the Imperial City Bureau, they would naturally not be stupid enough to go against the emperor's wishes.

Zhao Zhen: "Zonghe, take the Crown Princess back to the East Palace first and comfort her. When it's time for dinner, you two can go to Funing Palace to have dinner with me."

After hearing what Zhao Zhen said, Zhao Xi didn't seem to be willing to move at all. It was only after Zhao Zhen promised that he would get to the bottom of everything that Zhao Xi took the Crown Princess back to the East Palace.

After they left, the emperor ordered his men to surround the queen's bedroom, and not long after, he issued a decree to depose the queen. This is a story for later, so we won't talk about it for now.

After Zhao Xi and Chen Lan returned to the East Palace, they had a simple meal and were busy putting the dowry away. Only then did they have time to sit down and chat.

"Your Highness, if we are so direct today, will some ministers accuse us of being unfilial tomorrow?"

Zhao Xi frowned slightly and said, "We are already husband and wife. It would be a bit strange for you to call me Your Highness the Crown Prince. As for what you are worried about, it shouldn't happen. Even if someone is really imprisoned, I still have my father!"

"If you feel uncomfortable in the future, don't worry about anything. Just do what we did today. If anything happens, my father and I will take care of it."

(Zhao Zhen: Yes, yes, yes, my dear son, you have always been so filial. It is my blessing to have a son like you.)

Chen Lan nodded, indicating that she understood, and then asked, "Then if I don't call you His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what should I call you?"

"My father gave me the name Yuchen, so you can just call me Yuchen from now on. By the way, do you have a name?"

Chen Lan shook her head. "I'm still young, and my father hasn't had time to choose a name for me yet."

Zhao Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you just call yourself Zi Chen from now on? This way our names will match better."

After hearing this, Chen Lan also thought it was a good idea, so she thanked him happily and immediately called out "Yu Chen".

Zhao Xi also showed his childishness for a rare time, and called out "Zi Chen". The two of them laughed and joked with each other for a long time, and then went about their own business.

After leaving the main hall, Zhao Xi went to the study, where he continued to study military books with a curled lip corner. Chen Lan asked four maids to take the servants of the East Palace to arrange the trivial affairs of the palace, while she herself started to busy herself with the palace affairs that had just been sent by the emperor.

After Zhao Zhen sent troops to surround Queen Cao's Zhengyang Palace, there was no one to take care of the palace affairs, so Zhao Zhen threw this hot potato to his daughter-in-law.

At first, Zhao Zhen was thinking whether he should hand it over to Madam Miao, but then he thought that the Crown Princess would take over sooner or later, so it would be better to practice early.

So the palace affairs were divided into two parts, the bulk of which was given to the Crown Princess, and the rest was given to Madam Miao, and instructions were given to Concubine Miao to help the Crown Princess manage the harem.

As for Concubine Zhang, whom he always favored, Zhao Zhen had never thought of handing over the palace affairs to her. After all, he knew that she had some abilities.

When Concubine Zhang learned about this, she lost her temper in Xiangluan Pavilion, and after making a lot of mistakes, she collapsed on the couch due to exhaustion.
