Seeing that Liu Shuyao was understanding and was really thinking about him, he let down his guard, helped her, and said softly, "Get up, it's hard for you to be so thoughtful, but I just married you and took a concubine, you will be dissatisfied in your heart..."

Liu Shuyao smiled and said, "It is my duty to share your worries. As long as it is beneficial to the East Palace, I will be happy. How can I be dissatisfied?"

Seeing her so generous, Chu Tianyou smiled a little, "Yes, she is a virtuous woman."

Looking at her slightly red and swollen face, he was angry just now and hit her hard. Then he asked, "I was in a hurry just now. I didn't hurt you, did I?"

Liu Shuyao shook her head and said softly, "It's fine with me."

Seeing her well-behaved appearance, Chu Tianyou nodded. As long as she was content to stay in the East Palace, it would not be impossible for her to sit as the Crown Princess.

Liu Shuyao was a real beauty. Now that everything had been said, he would naturally not let such a beauty go unnoticed. So he pulled Liu Shuyao into his arms and said with a smile, "It's getting late. Let's go to bed early. We have to see our father, the emperor, and our mother tomorrow."

Liu Shuyao nodded shyly...

The next morning, Liu Shuyao sat in front of the mirror. Cui'er pushed the door open with toiletries in her hand. She saw her young lady's face was still a little red, she was only wearing underwear, and the marks on her neck were clearly visible...

"Miss, are you okay? His Highness is too rude... How could he treat you like this?"

"Okay, this is the East Palace, don't say such things anymore, and change your address. Put on more makeup to cover it up, and don't let anyone see you when you go to pay respects..."

Actually, Liu Shuyao was a little surprised. After all, she was abstinent for the first time, and she was really tormented last night. But she didn't know that for so many years, the prince didn't dare to indulge in women because His Majesty didn't grant him marriage. He was afraid that His Majesty would be dissatisfied, so he kept himself clean for many years. Although he had been with Bai Chuwan... but it was always done secretly... That's why he couldn't stop for a while.

"Yes, Princess."

The prince led Liu Shuyao's hand and entered Zhaofeng Palace. Emperor Wenxuan and Empress Li sat in the first seats. However, he did not expect that Concubine Xian was also there.

"Your son greets His Majesty, Father, and Queen Mother," the Crown Prince and Liu Shuyao knelt down and bowed.

Emperor Wenxuan looked at the two people getting along well and not causing any trouble. He was satisfied and chuckled, "Get up!"

Then he looked at Liu Shuyao and instructed, "Now that you are the Crown Princess, you must learn more from the Queen and set a good example for the royal daughter-in-law, understand?"

Liu Shuyao bowed and said, "I will follow my father's teachings and learn from my mother in the future. I will take her as an example and live up to the title of Crown Princess."

Queen Li also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Shuyao is a smart and sensible girl. I am very relieved. I will slowly teach her some palace affairs in the future. I believe she will do a good job."

Emperor Wenxuan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Yes, seeing you like this, I am relieved. Then you can chat, I will leave first."

"Farewell, Your Majesty, and Father..."

Seeing Emperor Wenxuan leave, Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Shuyao, is everything okay? Is there anything you are not used to after going to the East Palace..."

The virtuous concubine naturally felt sorry that the prince of Xiang did not marry Liu Shuyao. She knew her niece's personality and knew that she was a person with her own ideas. She would definitely be a good wife in the future. Now, it was a pity...

Liu Shuyao was no longer as close as before, and said lightly, "Thank you for your concern, Concubine Xian, the East Palace is very good, Shuyao likes it very much"

The virtuous concubine was stunned, and said in a somewhat blaming tone, "Child, why are you so distant now? Even if you marry the prince, I am still your aunt. You should still call me aunt."

Liu Shuyao bowed again and smiled faintly, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam Concubine Xian, but we are in the palace, so etiquette cannot be abandoned."

Concubine Xian knew that Liu Shuyao was angry with the Liu family. It would be good if she could ease the relationship between her and the Liu family. If Liu Shuyao was unwilling, with her niece's intelligence, once she had established her foothold, she would inevitably trip them up in the future.

"You girl, after all, you are a member of the Liu family. Why are you doing this? Now that you have hooked up with the Empress and the Crown Prince, do you think that even the Liu family doesn't want to recognize you?"

Liu Shuyao looked a little cold. "You are joking, Madam Xianfei. Since Shuyao married into the East Palace and married the prince, she is the prince's person and the Chu family. She has no relationship with the Liu family. Please be careful with your words."

Seeing that she was ungrateful and determined to cut off ties with them, Concubine Xian became a little stiff in her tone, "Girl, I was just asking casually... why are you taking it so seriously?"

Queen Li suddenly spoke up, "Okay, Concubine Xian, Shuyao is now my daughter-in-law. I still have something to say to the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. You can go back first."

After a gift from the virtuous concubine, she left reluctantly.

Queen Li then took Liu Shuyao's hand. She was naturally satisfied with what Liu Shuyao had just said. It didn't matter that she didn't have the support of the Liu family. After all, it was the will of His Majesty. As long as she behaved herself, was loyal to the Eastern Palace, and was not a traitor, she would naturally give her the face she deserved.

"Good boy, you are sensible, and your mother has seen it all. As long as you are loyal to You'er, your mother will not treat you unfairly."

Liu Shuyao also smiled kindly and said, "Please rest assured, mother. Only when mother and His Highness are well, Shuyao will also be well. Shuyao understands this truth. As long as mother and His Highness are willing to believe in Shuyao, Shuyao will not let you down."

Queen Li nodded with satisfaction again. Sometimes it is not so important to have no family background, just like the Duke Li's Mansion behind her has no power, but she is still sitting on the throne of Queen. The most important thing is to look at yourself, whether you have brains, self-knowledge, whether you can see your position clearly, and do what you should do. This is crucial.

She now felt that Liu Shuyao had a lot of energy and looked like someone who could accomplish things. She would definitely be a good helper to the prince in the future. It would not be a problem for her to become the crown princess. His Majesty would still be able to judge people... She had seen the second girl from the Bai family many times. She was not bad in appearance and talent, but she was still a little petty and could not do things in a decent way. It was okay for an ordinary family, but if she really married the prince, she might not be able to control the princesses behind her. The eldest daughter of the Bai family was good, but it was a pity...

"Yes, you are smart. Although you were deeply involved with Concubine Xian before, it is important for you to know what you should and should not do in this position. I am very pleased that you can see this clearly. Since you have made your attitude clear, don't employ people you doubt, and don't doubt people you employ. I and the prince are not such stingy people, so we are naturally willing to trust you."

Then he smiled and asked Chu Tianyou, "You'er, what do you think? Let Shuyao take care of the affairs of the East Palace in the future."

After last night, Chu Tianyou had let go of his prejudice against Liu Shuyao. "What the Queen Mother said is right. I also believe in Shuyao."

Liu Shuyao showed a happy expression, finally relieved. In any case, this first hurdle was passed. "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Mother. Shuyao will not let you down."...
